IMO the ideal thing to do for hamburgers, mac and cheese, and grilled cheeses (the three foods that I would consider using American cheese for) is this:

Half american cheese for meltiness, half gruyere or other aged flavorful cheese for flavor.

A lot of modern recipes suggest that approach and it has worked well for me.

But he lives in NYC (Staten Island). It’s his own local government.

I wonder if his study was simply underpowered, and there may be a real but small effect.

An underpowered study is one that doesn’t get statistically significant results for a real effect because there is not enough data collected to distinguish between a small effect and random chance.

Sometimes I wish that I didn’t have a corporeal body. It would be better to just be a mind.

It is doable for many young professionals who work office jobs out of college, do not have dependents, and live with a roommate for a few years while getting established in their careers, finding a spouse, and then moving out to the suburbs.

This is just about possible in NYC if you 1) work in a high-rise by a station 2) commute during peak times with frequent trains 3) live in a high-rise by a station.

For example: Downtown Brooklyn or Exchange Place high-rise <=> WTC.

The other option would be to live within walking distance. A <20 minute walking distance to a downtown or midtown office is reasonable.

Through talks at C++ conferences and appearances on C++ podcasts:

Swift was developed by a lot of former C++ committee members, and in C++ circles they’ve been advocating for it as a “successor language” for quite some time.

This could definitely be confusing if you don’t have that context, but making Swift useful for this kind of project has been an explicit goal of the Swift developers for years.

Kingdom Hearts kinda had this with the Heartless (from a person’s heart) and the Nobodies (from a person’s body).

Headcanon: Trump is a Slitheen.

I don’t know the details of the situation in Poland, but Poland does have an 87% home ownership rate.

There’s also a whole industry of ex-Googlers reimplementing Google tooling as SaaS services to sell to other ex-Googlers at other companies.

There’s even a lookup table: https://github.com/jhuangtw/xg2xg

(some of those are open source projects, some are SaaS services)

I haven’t tried this, but if you just need the parent to call waitpid on the child’s pid then you should be able to do that by attaching to the process via gdb, breaking, and then manually invoking waitpid and continuing.

Inbox for me. I still manage my email the way that Inbox taught me to do it, but it just isn’t the same.

I hate the capslock thing. I sometimes feel like I’m the only person who regularly uses capslock (for C macro names and SQL when programming, but also for typing acronyms).

I don’t mind the function key thing. Even from memory I can say that in a browser F5 = refresh and F11 = fullscreen. But kids probably are less likely to know those these days so a label could be helpful.

Seems like a puzzle platformer with dress-up and other “comfy” features. Could be interesting.

CrossCode. It’s a 2D ARPG with a good story and well-designed world with puzzles, exploration, and combat.

I know for sure that there is a mastodon client for Emacs, but of course that uses a different protocol and wouldn’t work for lemmy: https://codeberg.org/martianh/mastodon.el

Oh, the non-citizen voting stuff. Yeah, that’s kinda weird. It does seem like every instance so far has been for local or specifically school-board elections. Ballotpedia has a comprehensive article on it: https://ballotpedia.org/Laws_permitting_noncitizens_to_vote_in_the_United_States

I think my personal viewpoint is as follows:

1. It is probably reasonable for legal resident aliens who have lived in a school district for 30 days and who have a child in the public school system to vote in school board elections.

2. I don’t know what to think about legal resident aliens being able to vote in local municipal elections. I live in NYC (which attempted to enable this option, but it was struck down in court as violating the state constitution) and this would significantly alter the voting landscape of the city. I’ll have to think about it more.

3. I don’t think that undocumented resident aliens should be able to vote in any elections.

4. I don’t think that legal or undocumented resident aliens should be able to vote in state elections.

And of course the right to vote in federal elections has been explicitly reserved to US citizens by congress.
