All of this is true. I think a lot of us in this community are getting sick and tired of the queer anti-V religion.

This piece cherry-picks misfires, ignores the last couple years of solid momentum, and pads its case with biased jabs while skipping repos that actually ship code in V. It lands as a “see, I told you so” hit, not a balanced review... Its takes on memory, stdlib, and maturity are half-true at best.

Not a trustworthy article.

I don't think I'd use the term `great` - as it is a very grave and serious matter and should be reserved for the most serious of situations where they cannot resolve the situation in any other way. Again, I would only reserve it for injurious situations where bodily harm or risk of death is part of the equation. It is a form of communication that is very hard to recover from if it is not done properly and with supernal parental love.

There are many other ways to resolve other issues, but you are definitely correct about the ego monster that arises from being treated as royalty. Children must be balanced, and there are definite ways to do that that do not require spanking.

I must say that I do not think you read my remarks to have the visceral and unwarranted response that you did. There was nothing in my remarks that recommends spanking in a negative manner.

Being on the spectrum myself and having worked with many in these situations and with this, I will tell you that my personal experience says otherwise. Believe what you will, and I will believe what I will. I can assure you that wonderful and salutary results come through helping children to learn not to harm other people in proper and healthy ways.

This will evoke mixed feelings, but having been involved in child development for a very long time, I can say that in some cases it is acceptable to carefully and very thoughtfully "spank" your child. Spanking should never be performed out of frustration or anger on your part. There should also always be a delay (at least a short one) between the incident and the spanking so as to allow some processing both for you and your child and to decide if it is right and then for them to internalize the punishment that is about to come. Additionally, spanking, in my opinion and experience, should only be performed when your child had injured someone since injury is something that they cannot restore or pay back. No matter the age, they must be made to understand the reason for such an action of spanking in connection with their action. I would caution, again, that spanking should only be utilized when there is no other restitution possible such as when they are harming another individual. I do not know of any states that directly outlaw such an action by parents, but if there are such laws, obey your laws.

Having said this, I would also tell you that you MUST only spank after you have:

0. Make sure your child knows here is this consequence if they injure someone. Let them know there is a consequence! Do not let them think that arbitrary punishments or retribution occurs. This will do more harm than good if you do not set the expectations. It's not entirely possible to always do this the first time or with very, very small children (such as a two year old that has a biting problem as an example and which is very damaging behavior).

1. Explained what is about to happen carefully and fully.

2. Only spank once or a couple of times in a very controlled and sterile manner. Do NOT get emotionally involved in the spanking except to feel bad that you are doing it. DO NOT SPANK IF YOU ARE ANGRY. DON'T DO IT. NEVER.

3. After the spanking show your child MORE love and care. Give them high levels of tenderness and show them that it hurt you to execute this punishment. If you can cry with them, CRY WITH THEM. This is very important to show forth more love after the punishment and by doing this you will actually improve your bond with your child and allow them to know that you harbor no ill will against them.

4. Remind them in the future about the consequences that will occur if they choose to harm someone else as they have done.

5. Always show your child love and always let them know you suffer when they suffer now and always. Learn empathy and if you cannot have it, then show sympathy and love them anyway even if you cannot feel such things yourself.

LOL these are all garbage suggestions. What we really want is no new changes to the UX, but rather a focus on performance and tightening down system services to ensure less CPU and RAM utilization in addition to bug fixing.

Further, most people who use desktop systems, want a return to some older paradigms.

The person who wrote this article is out of touch with reality.

There are a plethora of ways to have pasteboard/clipboard history and even share it. Pastebot is my main choice, but PastePal is another good one.

So that means we'll have a good twenty years of data to finally look at, which is what I was saying. I do not trust any medicine unless it has far more data than what we have in this regard at this point. I work in a related field and I can simply say most things we trust should not be trusted and should require far more testing.

Thanks for experimenting with your body. I'll be sure to check back in about ten years to see how all this shakes out.

Keto + intermittent fasting are my magic pill right now and have been for some years.

Is o3-Mini Rude? 1 year ago

Have already had some bad arguments with it. It is definitely rude and doesn't seem to care as much. It's also harder to convince it it to do certain things that are entirely reasonable, but when it is convinced you're wrong, it is very hard to recover.
