loving a difficult child is hard! but there are varying degree's of difficult, violent difficult i can understand that is an immense challenge and i definitely don't recommend people to take that on unless they are prepared and sometimes you don't know, yes this situation really sucks!

I don't know what there is to regret about having kids, yep its difficult but everything worth doing is difficult! Adoption is definitely very difficult, especially the kind I did, international adoption of special needs children. My family didn't understand, many people in the public don't understand, and if they somewhat do they ask why I didn't adopt an american child, to me a child is a child.

I will say any ounce of love you can give these kids is better than what they have, seriously, the things I've seen.. picture your life from age 1 - 16, tied to a crib, malnourished, not educated, treated like a feral animal weighing under 100 lbs now, and all kinds of spine issues because you were not ever allowed to walk! Or if you are lucky enough to be in a place you can develop a bit, but then you are molested and abused but still have the intellect of a feral animal.

Many of these kids don't know what bonds of love are, but they can still form even tiny bits of it, and there will be times you think ..why the hell did i do this, but there are times when you think i am so happy i did this, you push through those hard times, get support from friends etc and the life of that kid will be a million times better than the life they would have had.

I think people don't give themselves enough credit, and somewhere inside i know they could do it, I never thought I could do it. One thing I do know is, if we all sit around questioning what we can't do we never will know what we could do and in the meantime children are suffering. I'm actually internally battling the want to adopt a third child vs being at limit!

Oh also adopting is an expensive venture, i went into debts to do this so i recommend to anyone get familiar with the community of adoptive parents and let them help fund raise.

But yes overall I think it's a huge problem that gets little attention, and once and awhile you will see a super sad advertisement on TV and hear everyone whine about how bad it made them feel and how they shouldn't show those kinds of ads. Big disappointment to me when i hear that, I feel like its more rug sweeping under

ah well

Sure if they can get back to family that is fine, but that is a small fraction of the issue, most of my work is in international adoption with special needs kids that rot tied to a crib with the occasional porridge in a bottle shoved down their throat.. honestly leaving them like this is for sure a human atrocity, I have to ask myself quite often if most are better off dying than sitting for years slowly dying. Those are the types of kids I'm advocating for that people pick up the ball and do what you can, obviously i support any sort of adoption or fostering! The reality is, any ounce of love anyone can give is better than what they get, bring them home, feed them 3 times a day clean them! that's like heaven for these kids

I've adopted two special needs orphans from another country.. and the childhood trauma is by and far the worst thing for a child. I could ramble on for a long time about this!

What we need are more caring people to adopt, and put their words to action, and give these kids good home. The problem is everyone says it's a problem but not enough people want to do it because it would be an inconvenience to their daily lives or some other excuse.

It is easily doable for all the worlds orphans to be adopted by good families, if only we could get people to see the good they could be doing

Money does not help, people help!

just goes to show bugs dont matter, whats the penalty after you're rolling in the cash

sincerely curious, what are the limitations and problems of emacs? I use both vs code and emacs. I've been using vs code a bit more these days because I feel like the UI itself is a bit more powerful and modern. I've also come to like that If i want a language support it often installs all the things I'd want to make a good experience, and I have less to mix and match. I like the mix and match approach I've always used in emacs, but it turns out there fewer scenario where I want that power then I'd have thought, and more where I just want some out of the box functionality from an extension author

hmm in terms of neomacs, is this what remacs was trying to do but in rust?

can i say T : SomeConstraint ?

generics in go will be a great addition, also it is important to realize generics in java and go are different such that go uses structural typing vs nominal

You're welcome

i like it too when i'm on windows, but it does feel a tad slow to me, what would be the cause of that? is that powershell core or the terminal that has that slow responsiveness?

except it works perfectly fine for practical engineering solutions soooo ??

why can't people talk about products that tackle the problem if people are advertising other projects even if they are foss ? I'm ok with a solution free or not if it solves the problem i need

there needs to be extremely large fines for data breaches, something needs to be done so companies take your data more seriously...clearly with the amount of breaches that happen they don't

they are mired in ethics battles instead of making a business. Should business that shit and ethic later

part of my job is to monitor tor and find people from using it, easier than you'd think.. so i wouldn't bankshot on that alone

these people are crooks why would FSF endorse them?

why would republicans be for giving 1 billion to smithsonian? or some of these other random places?

i don't subscribe to one side or the other, they all seem like idiots

what a dumpster fire.. seriously why can't we get an actual covid relief bill?

easier to fix the slower rust to make it faster than the fast closer? or easier to make the clojure faster than some decent rust code?

curious, how many years does it take to read and understand a paper like this? I looked and the thing is pretty dense and to me at least seams very difficult to read. I'm just not sure because I will see some programmers sound like they read and understood it in an evening

i feel like this is missing the point..

common? literally didn't work on the 6 different unix systems i just tried

seems like cool idea, feels kinda slow for 'minimalist' what does actually mean by use of that word here

but what does that have to do with me not wanting hackers to know what type of projects power my company, or unreleased things we're building? a whole slew of things that i would not want people seeing...thats why the repo is _private_

not only that but internal projects that one can glean information from just by knowing or seeing their existence and how they are constructed. or for yet unreleased things.. I'm surprised the few comments in this thread don't consider these sorts of things

hopefully private repos on github are safe

thats because all the times the weatherman could have got it right, i could have guessed the same...its the hard stuff i want a weather man for, and its the hard stuff i want an AI for..
