I have not had any problems resizing. Honestly, I think my resizing got more precise with Tahoe. In earlier versions I had sometimes wrongly clicked for horizontal and vertical resizing. It's better now for me at least.

And I do not get why people so upset with Tahoe. I really really love it.

This essay cites a statement from Geoffrey Hinton and ignores the whole talk that he gave. I think he cited him from the talk "Two path to intelligence". In that talk Geoffrey Hinton said the complete opposite of this article, nevertheless he frames him like he would support this "essay". It's just his opinion and nothing else.

Also the paper about "stochastic parrots" is under great criticism and there are now papers that contradict their conclusions.

In my opinion this just fragments the rust ecosystem and creates more problems than it solves. What about to just have mirrors of crates.io?

And I completely disagree that that someone else than the authors should distribute or manage the package. They know the best how and what there is to do in certain situation (security fixes and so on). Of course it is good to have independent reviews, but these independent people should not be in charge of updating, maintaining and updating these packages/libraries.

You have misunderstood me. It is up to the parents to explain to the children that there are such things and that one day they might see them by chance. Just as children can come into contact with drugs by chance through friends. It is up to the parents to prepare the children psychologically for these situations and to act wisely in this moment. For example, children could stop watching such videos early instead of continuing to watch them or simply say no to drugs because they are already prepared.

The idea of protecting children from all this through control is naive for two reasons: 1. you can't monitor children 100%. This leads to the fact that I can never prevent all things. Both in reality and on the net. 2. as adults, these children must have already thought about all this in order to act wisely. A child who moves out at 18 and has not yet dealt with it is completely on their own, although the adults would have had time to explain everything to the children.

And one more thing from pedagogy that contradicts what you said: children process only what they understand and is relevant to them. For example, if you explain to a 4-year-old child what rape is, the child will absorb almost nothing of it. For the child, sex and the sexual need is foreign. Thus, they cannot derive much information from the explanation.

I have seen a lot of sick stuff on the net as a teenager. For example, a beheading of a white journalist in the Middle East by Islamists. No one could have prevented me from clicking on the link friends sent me. However, it could have been explained to me that there are such things on the net and how that should be classified. In the end, it was up to me to classify it. And of course, such experiences could have led to anything. For example, racism.

Your problem is not that the kids can't be protected with encryption, but rather that you want way too much control over these kids' lives. I know you think you are protecting them, but it is much better for a child's development to simply be told and explained how the world works. Also porn. Anyone who believes that they can hide everything from a child until they are of age and that they will always act in a wise manner after they are of age is naive.
