My kids have these stick horses, a relative got them for a Christmas gift some years ago. They never play with them. The stick is long and counter balances the head so you have to sort of squeeze your legs together to actually ride the thing. Looks like these horses have shorter sticks, and are balanced so they're rideable in a much more natural way.

It certainly never occurred to me this simple refinement could make an annoying experience into something a kid could actually enjoy.
All those apply to eating from McDonald's, as an example. Should we ban everything that has a negative health impact?

Later edit: Actually, banning is not a huge problem, the problem is incarceration for choosing to do something that hurts nobody, except maybe yourself.
> please dont have "forever" pricing. i would rather pay a higher fee monthly.

Well, I would disagree. Forever pricing would be awesome.
I think the article overlooks the value of strong fundamentals. If you deeply understand a specific technology it's so much easier than if you have scraped the surface by learning the most common exploits. I find that books, courses and resources about security _specifically_ are often superficial and foregoes deep understanding and instead focus on shallow techniques, tips and tricks. Sure, the tricks are useful, but so much more if they rest on strong foundations.

For someone that just want to get a foot in the industry and be useful in some real world scenarios (where knowledge of the most common problems will probably be enough to find real problems) I think this article is a useful resource. But in the long term you will be better and more valuable to skip security resources most of the time and instead go deep in a wide set of areas.
Some of the markup is incredibly similar. The checkbox stuff[0] looks like a `s/govuk/usa/g`.

I've been working on a GDS project for the last few months, it's actually a nice change to have a set of established patterns to work to and a host of responsive people to discuss extending those patterns with.

Don't know about in the US, but here in the UK engineering brick mostly died out after WW2.

Pre-war lots of commercial buildings and housing were built with engineering brick. Iron hard and usually with a shiny face that's more like china. They were mostly impervious to water - enough to also be used as damp proofing - and chemical ingress. Only really used to restore and for a few industrial applications now.

Regular bricks can be damaged by frost, salt and pollutants surprisingly easily.

Exactly my point. There are differences in taste and you recognize the taste of apecific brand or specific tap once you learn it.

But tastes vary so much that you couldn't tell random tap from random bottled.
I’m of the opinion that all national security goods and services should be supplied/funded/organised (delete as appropriate) by the government, even when doing so is unnecessarily expensive, as it’s bad to give a different government the power to crush your own.
Me too. For me, it was important to be able to point it to my folders (well, symlinking to them) and 'syncing' so it read the metadata and generated the thumbnails without the need to upload them anywhere. Also the calendar view has proven useful. My collection of around 90k photos works well with it, even with my meek Atom-based home server.

One feature I'm missing at the moment is raw conversion support. It would be great if thumbnails and previews of raw photos could be automatically generated. I've solved this via generating previews with ImageMagick, but native raw support in Piwigo would be better.
My friend uses one of those and it takes over a second for a new window to find its place. I can’t see what productivity benefits you would get from that. It look pretty hacky compared to any decent X11 WM with tiling functionality.

> Similarly, people who refer to a single person as “they,” or cannot bring themselves to accurately describe another person by sexual characteristics also broadcast important things about the durability of their connection to reality.

First half of the sentence is idiotic because singular "they" has hundreds of years of historical use behind it and I don't think you'll find a professional grammarian or linguist who would object to its use.

Second half of the sentence is thinly veiled transphobia.

The rest is just the same old conservative "why can't words by words!!" bleating.
> Some 2.5 billion coffee cups are thrown away annually in the UK, almost none of which are recycled because of their plastic lining.

That is woefully out of date. We now have the capacity to recycle all the disposable cups used in the UK. The collecting and sorting is where the effort needs to be put now.

Companies seem to have realized that security incidents are more of a public relations issue than anything else after Equifax. Just lockdown as much info as you can, limit anyone talking about anything, spin spin spin. No reason to be more proactive than that, you only get punished for it.

So, Facebook is making a stable coin. I’m normally pretty bearish on anything involving blockchains, I think they’re pointless, but that’s not my issue here. The idea of giving facebook any control over a monetary system, even just as the developer of a decentralized one, gives me the shivers.

Many people have surplus capital. They might not be willing to risk it, but they have it. I could cash in my retirement account for example. There are a lot of people who have this cash, and some make small bets all the time. Sure to do a large development costs a lot of money, but there are a lot of small projects that cost less, and they add up. 100 people putting in $5000 wouldn't be hard to find, and that can do a medium sized project.

In short I reject your pessimism.

Totally agree, though reminiscent of the early days of PC's with IBM (the OS and PC name..) and again naming conventions with Intel (they wanted to trademark 386 etc and was told they could not do that with numbers - hence they started using the Pentium brand they could trademark along with a massive campaign of Intel Inside...).

Lucky the more savvy consumer see's right thru this tailgating and more so in the realms of arm SBC's.

But equally, Raspberry could not trademark "Pi" or indeed "Raspberry", though they could trademark "Raspberry Pi" - https://www.raspberrypi.org/trademark-rules/

Though, as they wanted to recreate the early fun days of computing, this whole `plagiarism` angle sure does rekindle some nostalgia.

It just demonstrates in spades how out of touch the marketers, brands, etc are with reality. The "new" influencers are the teenage/early college women that are hot. That's why they have a "following". There's nothing else to it. The older ones are tripping out of the most desired demographics because they are in their late twenties. That's why the "old" style is out.
> Should we ban everything that has a negative health impact?

No, we should use weigh the negatives against the positives and avoid making strawmen of these arguments.

That link isn’t about a manufacturer developing better cups, it is a retailer spending ten years deciding which type of cup to use. The cup they chose, as far as I can tell from that description, is a standard double-walled PE lined paper cup which has been in wide use for many years now.
This is such an English-speaking-centric view it's incredible. There are great works of art - movies, books, music, games that exist outside of the anglosphere, they never appear outside of their respective countries and are never translated, yet I don't see people complaining that the lack of their translations is " is to deny the right to participate in cultural exchange and communication". You just....can't consume them. It's not the end of the world, no one is being done some great injustice, that creative work is just not available to you right now. How is that different? Perhaps only in that it's much better? If I want to watch a Russian TV show and there is no translation, either I have to wait for the translation or....learn Russian. If I can't legally buy Game of Thrones in my country I can always pay for a copy in a country where it is available and have it sent to me. It's not as convenient, but it is possible. To say that there is some harm being done by not making it available and the only solution is piracy sounds like self justification.

Interestingly, where I live (Calgary Canada), our recycling program says that lids are not actually recyclable here because they’re too small and light to properly classify. This is more common than people realize.

http://www.calgary.ca/UEP/WRS/Pages/What-goes-where/Plastic-...

They have to be larger than 7.5cm in diameter, eg. yogurt lids. So we are told to trash coffee lids, along with metal or plastic bottle caps, which also are too small. Other programs like Recycle BC can handle coffee lids.

And then Toronto accepts White Starbucks lids, but rejects all black plastic (!). https://mobile.twitter.com/cityoftoronto/status/978967494470...

Whereas all paper and plastic cups ARE recyclable here (and in BC), and it’s common for shops like Starbucks to have recycling for cups. Presumably they’re classified and shipped to one of the few batch pulpers. Toronto on the other hand says they can’t recycle such cups

It can get confusing.
Hong kong was never "democratic". Britain ruled hong kong for about 150 years and never allowed democracy or elections until China forced them to return hong kong. Oddly enough, Hong Kong became a "democracy" under Chinese Communist rule.

Taiwan wasn't a democracy until fairly recently. Ironically enough, the first elections in taiwan was created by the japanese when they conquered taiwan. When the nationalist chinese took over taiwan, they banned elections. It was only within the past few decades that "democracy" flourished in taiwan.

I suspect the only problem China has with the elites in hong kong and particularly taiwan are the pro-western elites. After all, Taiwan is a "client state" of the US and many of the nationalists and their descendents who rule taiwan are backed by the US.

Look at how much hysteria and suspicion there is about Trump's unproven collusion with Russia. The nationalists and their descendents in taiwan actually colluded with the west.

If china was really worried about "democracy" in Hong Kong, they would have simply not allowed it in the first place. And the idea that the elites of hong kong or taiwan care about democracy is simply not true. They, like all elites around the world, care about wealth and power.
Oh ya, I’m not really complaining about that part. Just that the traffic flow is exactly broken up into huge arterials around huge blocks as the article reported (which is accurate). I do prefer more urban apartment living if I don’t have kids, meaning smaller apartment complexes that are more integrated into a diverse urban environment around them (Beijing is a bad example for that, but say an older stand alone apartment building in Shanghai Puxi).
> long running workloads typical for media producers

But aren't MBP's pitched at these types of users as the tool for this type of job? I mean, if you look at the blurb at https://www.apple.com/macbook-pro/ it's pretty much the selling point.

We may know better because we like to understand the underlying tech. But pretty much every content and media producer I've run into over the years isn't that interested. Pretty much in the same way that I'm really not that interested in how my old field engineer company motor's mechanicals work as long as it didn't break down 400 miles from home.

> I was with you right up until you made the cheap shot at Linux. That was as unnecessary as it was untrue.

Here are some concrete examples:

- macOS has essentially a single set of efficient and consistent keybindings that works everywhere. Command line and GUI work essentially the same, i can use emacs style navigation with C-a C-e C-f C-b etc. everywhere. I can copy with Cmd-C and paste with Cmd-V in my terminal. The geniuses who created the first mainstream Linux GUI paradigms decided to copy windows and go with Control as the main key modifier to create a set of clashing keybindings for GUI and console.

- file history (If I messed something up in my keynote presentation, I can easily compare previous versions and restore what's needed)

- Cmd-? allows you to access any menu item quickly by search, how do I do that on Linux?

- finding files (see below)

- MacOS can recover from memory pressure fine. How do I get my linux machine not to effectively crash if I run an app that happens to use too much memory (technically it just swaps itself to death, in practice reset is the only remotely timely way to recover)? I've tried any amount of tweaking, but turns out that you can't turn off overcommit and swap completely, even if have lots of memory, things will just break randomly (chrome for example).

> Linux is no harder to find files on than it is on OS X.

Can you point me at something on linux that comes anywhere close to spotlight/mdfind?

On of the reasons spotlight works well is file system integration, to the best of my knowledge nothing on linux does that.

It's trivial to open a file by recency or contents or type (or tags or ...) from the open dialogue of any application on macOS, how do I do that on linux?

If I want to find all mp4 videos of 1000x1000 resolution that I modified within the last week, or all jpeg files with sRGB color profile, I can do so instantaneously with mdfind.

That is not to say that linux isn't more ergonomic for certain things, but in my experience they tend to be mostly limited to things only programmers would care about (/proc is the number one thing I miss on a mac; some commandline utilities are also nicer on linux, but you can normally install them easily enough on macs as well).

For what it's worth: I'm using both linux and macOS daily and am both productive and reasonably expert with both.

That's not the point. Installing via a library is actually worse. NPM will bypass proxy settings via the postinstall script.

My point is that the libsass library should be ported to WASM to ease the installation in a CI environment.
For the split screen functionality, I’d recommend tmux or Terminator. If you try w3m on xterm, you’ll notice that inline images can work. Could someone enlighten me as to why inline images are useful in the first place?
Computer games. Pew pew.
These sound like a lot of London's new build complexes. I imaging China's are bigger, but as you say, "self contained walled apartment communities with multiple building surrounding a courtyard/common area".
For those interested, it’s been speculated that video gaming has caused this. In many ways playing a lot of console video games as a young child is basically the best possible early training to become a pilot of some sorts.

I am looking for this exact feature. Identifying duplicates from multiple back-ups. Is there a cool way?
I found this article absolutely fascinating - I didn't even know such a job existed!

Many years ago, when I was young and foolish, I thought being a crop duster pilot was the bees knees; also easier to get into with low hours, and who knows, maybe after spraying enough potato, a coveted airline job. Little did I know! It turns out the level of skill required to do the job is very high, the lifestyle not so great when you get older, and no, it's not necessarily easier to get into.

Ultimately I didn't become a pilot, but an engineer. Looking back, I'm happy with my choice and my life as it is now. Only occasionally do I watch aviation videos on YouTube and wonder "what if".

Thank you for a really cool article - and kudos to the guy drying cherries with his little Robinson!
Just the opposite happened with me. When I first met one of my friends we were in college over 20 years ago and I was very attracted to her. She had an older boyfriend, and I knew I couldn’t compete. I was also not seriously dating someone. We became good friends. We graduated, we moved about five hours away but still remained good friends. We would see each other about three or four times a year. She was still dating the guy.

Fast forward 12 years. I was divorced, she was single with two kids and reconnected. We became very close, took vacations together but this time, there was no romantic connection. We talked about getting involved on an academic level but we both knew we would be settling. It was just a comfortable, unstressful, “safe” relationship.

I started dating my now wife five years after my divorce and one of the hardest things was detaching from my friendship with her but I knew it wouldn’t be healthy for my relationship with my wife.

I have another close friend that I met when she was a freshman in high school and I was a senior. We stayed in touch off an on and would hang out. She’s objective attractive, we used to have fun when we hung out as adults, she was easy to talk to, but I could never see her as a romantic interest. It was just weird thinking about her that way.

Sometime in the past (maybe 10 or
15 years ago?) someone had the
idea of using the downwash of
helicopters hovering over the
cherry trees to blow the branches
around and shake the water off
the cherries.

There is nothing normal about that idea.

I bet paying a pilot, who operates at price to cover their own expenses, fuel and a paycheck, is still less expensive than the partial loss of any harvest that receives this coverage, and crop dusting pilots are technically an equivalent operation, but I’m thinking that there are better ways to keep cherries dry, and that rain showers aren’t the only thing water log a cherry tree, right?
I have a fair use bandwidth policy. You can’t abuse it.
Yes, it does get down to risk factors and the parallels with the reinsurance/insurance market with actuaries, is an aspect not lost upon me. As we know you can't put a price on a human life - but they do in the end.

I feel your pain. I spent a year building a SaaS and then another year trying to find customers. Never made a single sale.

I realize now I approached the whole enterprise bass-ackwards.

Next time: find customers first, then build the thing. If you can't find customers, then at least you haven't wasted time and energy building the thing.

I know this is common wisdom now, but I apparently enjoy learning all of life's little lessons the hard way.
'Fake' rape reports are a growing problem and the cases I have seen haven't resulted in any punishment for the accuser. I mean, obviously this isn't the best solution to the problem, but it's by far the easiest and cheapest for the taxpayer. It's evidence that would probably be required for the case in court anyway, right?

> police and prosecutors say the forms are an attempt to plug a gap in the law which says complainants and witnesses cannot be forced to disclose relevant content from phones, laptops, tablets or smart watches

This isn’t a “gap in the law” at all: it’s protection against incriminating yourself. It’s especially horrible that police are trying to push those involved in sexual assault trials to give up their liberties…

Even given expensive name brand water, a $50 filter cartridge only lasts for six months. That's $3150 for the same period. $50 replacing $25,000 is not grounded in reality.
