Qiu_Zhanxuan··on TOML has maybe zero active maintainers
So sad in regard to this situation, TOML 1.1 seems so close but the project seems effectively stuck now..
Qiu_Zhanxuan··on IRS Collects $1B in Back Taxes from Millionaires
European talking but do you feel the proportion of tax being wasted has increased or decreased since the last 2 decades ? Did public service got better or worse ? Social program ? Education ? Foreign Policy ?

I always felt that America had low taxes and most of it was used to deliver the bare minimum services (police, defense, public servant, social program) or even below (public schools, teacher, justice, IRS...) what is necessary for a society to sustain itself.

Qiu_Zhanxuan··on America's Regime Change Wars Created Europe's Refugee Crisis
"Europe's Past colonialism and arbitrary political partitioning of Africa & America's Recent Regime Change Wars Created Europe's Refugee Crisis"

Is it better ?

Qiu_Zhanxuan··on US, other G7 countries to phase out coal by early 2030s
Fifteen years have passed since the Copenhagen Summit, yet the G7 nations, particularly the United States and Germany, have failed to eliminate coal usage. This is disheartening. This is a significant failure from the Western world to both present and future generations globally, especially to India, Latin, America, Africa and South East Asia and Islanders in the Indian and Pacific ocean who cumulatively had a minimal impact in all this but will bear the brunt of the consequences.
Qiu_Zhanxuan··on Europe gives TikTok 24 hours to explain 'addictive and toxic' new app
If it gives Bytedance the incentive to produce app that are less harmful to our mental health, i'll switch to it overnight. Good bye to all the metacrap.
Qiu_Zhanxuan··on Top Israeli spy chief exposes his true identity in online security lapse
i think he was being sarcastic
Qiu_Zhanxuan··on U.S. No Longer Ranks Among 20 Happiest Countries
How does Israel and Kuwait rank so high ? Did they surveyed the arab israelis and Palestinians? What about those slave workers in Kuwait ? In both case that's more than half the total population that lives in horrible conditions.

Makes this whole Ranking suspicious

Qiu_Zhanxuan··on Mental Health in Open Source
ahah i'm confused, do they pay for your open source contributions or your artistic inclinations ?
Qiu_Zhanxuan··on Netlify just sent me a $104k bill for a simple static site
Moved from Netlify and deleted my blog just in case
Qiu_Zhanxuan··on OpenAI drops ban on military tools to partner with The Pentagon
Yes, they were mostly driven by money and ego.
Qiu_Zhanxuan··on Taiwan election: William Lai, who China sees as 'troublemaker', wins election
Ukraine only feigned their interest in democracic but they didn't want it hard enough? that's why they're at war ? The same mentality that led to the iraq warn is still so pervasive it's disheartening.
Qiu_Zhanxuan··on New GeForce RTX 4080 Super, RTX 4070 Ti Super, RTX 4070 Super
Waiting for Intel Battlemage, latest rumors says 16 GB of memory, a 256-bit wide bus, RTX 4080 level of performance in compute for 450$ MSRP. Wait and see Q3 2024. Intel software stack is more likely to challenge Nvidia's than AMD's.
Qiu_Zhanxuan··on Meta censors pro-Palestinian views on a global scale, report claims
To be honest, anybody professionally well versed in the question of apartheid and human's right would be in favor of a BDS campaign against an apartheid state.
Qiu_Zhanxuan··on Meta censors pro-Palestinian views on a global scale, report claims
Seems you haven't read the actual report, HRW clearly points inconsistencies in the application of Meta's policies that amounts to censorship of any support to Palestine.
Qiu_Zhanxuan··on The new Paris métro
I live in Paris. Just got a 200€ fine coming back from a running session. Beware, RATP rule enforcers are now dressed as civilians and targets gullible individuals who breaks stupid rules, (mistook my pass with my credit card when i tried to check-in : 50€ for forgetting my pass, and 150€ for entering an quasi-empty bus by the middle door). I see why RATP resorted to racketeering after all this over-budget fiasco. Hope it's worth it.
Qiu_Zhanxuan··on Sam Altman's Second Coming Sparks New Fears of the AI Apocalypse
Capitalism at its finest. That's what the USA is all about.
Qiu_Zhanxuan··on Made in China 2025
All the more reasons to leave Taiwan intact. I hope so.
Qiu_Zhanxuan··on Narges Mohammadi wins 2023 Nobel Peace Prize
Most people today would agree with Mossadegh's initiative and the point remains that he was ousted from power for his nationalization of a western oil company and his inimity with the islamists and the Shah. The US helped in the process. And it's no disrespect to the iranians to state those facts.
Qiu_Zhanxuan··on Americas richest 10% is responsible for 40% of its planet heating pollution
"The american way of life is non-negotiable" George H.W. Bush

To be honest, America decided long ago the rest of the world would suffer as long as America could afford it.

Qiu_Zhanxuan··on French govt. says users of uBlock Origin, Signal etc. are potential terrorists
There is a big cause for concern; our secret service deems anybody using encryption tools as a quasi-terrorist.
Qiu_Zhanxuan··on French govt. says users of uBlock Origin, Signal etc. are potential terrorists
I'm always appalled by comments like these that justify their sympathy for authoritarian practices simply because they align with their interests. I'm in Paris, France, and police brutality has been increasing hand in hand with the corrupt nature of our government over the last decade, and it's horrifying. The apple is completely rotten; the way our election system works and all the dirty tricks you can do when you're in power mean people are not left with any other choice but to revolt. This does not bode well for our country.
Qiu_Zhanxuan··on Russia’s population nightmare is going to get even worse
Considering the number of people who died and the number of babies that haven't been born due to the conflict, I'd argue that would have been a counter-argument against engaging into this whole mess. The longer this goes on, the dire the prospects are for the Russian speaking world.
Qiu_Zhanxuan··on Framework Laptop 16
Agreed, the Macbook Pro 16" has a 100wh battery and i'm looking for something that has at least 3/4 of its autonomy, otherwise no point in investing into a >1500$ laptop.
Qiu_Zhanxuan··on Fields Medals 2022
Yeah well getting into ENS Ulm is already such an outstanding feat, no surprise there.
Qiu_Zhanxuan··on There are no open issues or pull requests on Flask
Wish Flask had a better ecosystem of extension around it So many extensions are unmaintained like flast-restful/openapi...
Qiu_Zhanxuan··on There are no open issues or pull requests on Flask
Flast-Restful/Flast-Rest-X are unmaintained... the OPENAPI/Swagger implémentation is riddled with bugs

I wish Flask could be a little bit more battery included on that front. Wouldn't hurt the lightedness of the project to have automatic OPENAPI documentation, none are currently viable... That's why I switched to FastApi but I miss @app_context, and Flask Security...

Qiu_Zhanxuan··on Modern cloud for multiplayer games
Nice read-up, learnt a lot, thanks !
Qiu_Zhanxuan··on Israel passes law denying naturalization to Palestinian spouses
This is simply not true. While Inter-religious marriages are often frowned upon, no law prevent any person from a middle east country to marry another person on the basis of different religious background. Please give your sources.

Parent is spreading misinformation.

Qiu_Zhanxuan··on “Zero fucks given” in other languages
"Je m'en badigeonne les testicules avec le pinceau de l'indifférence"
Qiu_Zhanxuan··on The wealthiest 10% of Americans own a record 89% of all U.S. stocks
Nice ressource, if every country had that we could have a common ground on which to discuss wealth and income inequality
