I read a quote recently,"We're not here to stop our kids getting hurt, just to stop them getting maimed or killed". While a bit exaggerated it rings true for me. I don't see how children can build a worthwhile sense of responsible independence without learning where the boundaries are and how to judge risk for themselves.

There is probably a whole book on the subject but I think society has lost some of the ability to look out for others, when I was young if you were hurt or too far from home you could always rely on a neighbour to help and would have no issue in knocking on their door, even the old single guys.

The other side of the argument now is the fear of interacting with somebody elses child as and adult, last year I came across a small girl(5/6) who had fallen and grazed her leg and there was nobody else around, I was really deliberate about not touching her in case parent or guardian came around the corner.
I felt horrible about it but thats the way things are I guess.

Diary of a Ghetto Priest: Abortion: The Murder of the Holy Innocents
Modelines are pretty much only for single-use scripts or non important files but are still very useful (the security implications are concerning though).

Usually just to `set ft=zsh' to set a filetype on a file with no (or incorrect) file extensions. Which syntax highlighting and other plugins rely on to activate.

For example, I use them on a TODO.md file to set it as a `task` filetype which is a markdown-friendly todo list: https://github.com/irrationalistic/vim-tasks whereas in Github I want it to render as markdown only so I keep the file extension `.md`.

Another usecase is system/software user config files which have all sorts of file extensions (ie, `.rc` or '.conf') but use a variety of internal formatting (ie, json). These files never leave your personal machines or arrive that way, in my experience at least.

I'd imagine they'd also stick out like a sore-thumb at the bottom of most files if they were maliciously inserted but I'm sure there's some exceptions (targets who don't know what Vim modelines are).
Can't say I'm feeling a whole lot of empathy for BH given the way they prey on home buyers.
I don't think twitter really counts as blogging. It is too low signal/noise and doesn't leave enough room to seriously cover anything "academic" other than linking to real blogs and articles

For actual blogging, there are a few considerations you need to take into account. One is that academics will probably only blog if it can help their career in some way. If you are a graduate student or associate professor it's probably very low on your list of priorities - it also has a long payoff time as you build up a following whereas a good publication has much more immediate benefits. Another consideration is that for blogging to be worthwhile, there needs to be a low number of producers for every X consumers. Right now I think academic blogging doesn't have enough producers, but the size of the consumer market is limited, so I don't think it makes sense for everyone to blog
> Trailing whitespace gets lost easily in editors.

As far as I'm aware, mail clients typically don't modify quoted text beyond prepending each line with a > character. Even if the trailing whitespace is lost, then you'll just have a conventional hard wrapped message (which is no different than just using a mail client that doesn't support format=flowed).

> The concept of "format=flowed" itself can get mangled if someone with a mail client that doesn't support it replies.

Not in my experience. If they remove the trailing whitespace, then it's essentially hard-wrapped again. If they don't, then it's still flowed.

> And yes, people do send things like ASCII art or underlined text or code or other things where whitespace and wrapping matters.

In that case, the flowed option isn't suitable. The RFC I referenced does support a fixed option for the format parameter which would address that issue. Also, Thunderbird did not attempt to append whitespace to previously quoted material if it didn't have it already.

In any case, the flowed format would work perfectly for this particular thread since no one is hard wrapping anything.

PSA: Please Report iOS and Siri Bugs to Apple
Benefits

You'll help make iOS better for yourself and everyone else!

Apple prioritizes bugs based on the number of times they're reported by different people. So every single report matters. Each bug you report is directly more likely to get fixed promptly.

If you're like me and get frustrated by the occasional iOS bug, you'll definitely want to do this!

One-time setup so that you can easily report bugs:

I believe you might need to enroll in the developer program, but that's easy and free for these purposes (though you can't publish your own apps without paying, but you don't need that for this!).

Firstly set up assistive touch to trigger a sysdiagnose (trust me, do this) – the instructions are here https://developer.apple.com/services-account/download?path=/iOS/iOS_Logs/AssistiveTouch_Sysdiagnose_Logging_Instructions.pdf

Then read the instructions here so you know how to upload it https://download.developer.apple.com/iOS/iOS_Logs/sysdiagnose_Logging_Instructions.pdf

Note that sysdiagnosis files only seem to last before 48 hours before being automatically deleted, so be sure to airdrop them to your computer before then so you don't lose them.

If you ever experience Siri bugs e.g. unexpected responses to queries, install the Siri logging profile according to Apple's instructions here: https://developer.apple.com/services-account/download?path=/iOS/iOS_Logs/Siri_Logging_Instructions.pdf

How to report an iOS bug once it happens:

Create a sysdiagnosis by triggering your assistive touch shortcut, and take a screenshot or screen recording of the bug

Go to https://bugreport.apple.com/, sign in with your Apple ID

Create a bug report following their instructions

Upload your screenshot and/or screen recording and your sysdiagnose file and note in the report the time/date that it occurred.

> This is especially complicated by the speed at which the implementation of new features is required to keep a general audience interested.

That may have been true 10 years ago, but now the feature set is so rich, that any new ones are really solutions in search of a problem rather than an actual user need. The average customer is pretty much using what Google dictates to get to the internet (used to be MS)

Nothing would change if the current feature set were kept constant

Ask HN: The new Google search bar is incredibly frustrating. Where can I report?
I posted on reddit/r/vent "OMG the new google search bar is so annoying to me, the text moves when you click in it and so I keep clicking in the wrong place"

It seems others agreed, the replies are:

"I'm surprised no one seems to be talking about how incredibly irritating this is."

and

"Glad it's not just me. It's basically like those web ads from 15 years ago that popped up and tried to avoid the mouse. Why did anyone think this was a good idea?"

Where can I report this to someone at Google who'd consider changing it, or at least looking into it?
Kik is being sued by the SEC for allegedly conducting an illegal securities offering. And it seems they clearly knew it was a securities offering, because they didn't sell to residents of their home country. They didn't disclose that they were near bankruptcy or that their service was wildly unprofitable - information that would have been useful for investors and that a legal securities offering or VC fundraising round would have made known to investors.

I'm not sure what about all of that makes them seem trustworthy. I guess they haven't been caught selling user data - but given that they allegedly committed fraud to keep the company afloat, I don't know why you would trust them not to.
I've seen this sort of argument many times before, most notably from Francis Fukuyama. The common thinking on the subject seems to be a deeply inaccurate decoupling of longevity and health.

Yes, we fear death, but we also fear the image of ourselves spending the final years of our lives bedridden and in pain. What we don't seem to understand is that patients in such poor health don't survive very long (despite the inevitable anecdotes about relatives who survived far too long in feeble condition, more a matter of perception than fact).

In other words, unhealthy people tend to have poor longevity.
I've noticed that the majority of my economic output so far has happened over a handful of weeks. The problem is that nobody had any idea when those golden weeks would happen: there always had to be some big problem that I was uniquely qualified to solve, and those don't just come along every day.

Your reasoning sounds right.

Thanks, looking at a few CSS frameworks I think I've been confused that they seem to have coarse resolution break values and I thought this was an anti-pattern ("don't detect mobile with a hard-wired resolution"). Maybe my mistake is to confuse resolution (after all modern phones often have equivalent resolution as many desktops) with width, so mobile is portrait, desktop often landscape. Instead of a mobile type presentation and a desktop type presentation just go with say one column if <600px or something, two columns if more and not worry if it's a mobile device. Maybe that's what the CSS frameworks are actually doing.
"Let’s say, as a crude approximation, that Success = talent + practice + luck. Those who are richly endowed with talent [or luck] may find it easy to excel in multiple domains, to be Renaissance men and women, to be decathletes of life. (The example of Leonardo da Vinci comes to mind.) The rest of us, however, must lean heavily on the practice part of the equation. If success is what we’re aiming at, then perhaps we should seek out the “kindest” learning environment open to us and give it our all. If, on the other hand, we want to live well by sampling a smorgasbord of human goods — learning a bit of quantum mechanics, running a marathon, playing viola in an amateur string quartet, fighting for local justice — then we might be doomed to fall short of transcendent achievement."

> The underlying issue here in this one is that people (apparently so far!) want to use AWS/GCP/etc more than they want to use mongo, redis, cockroach, or any particular technology.

There's nothing stopping people from using BSL-licensed software on AWS/GCP/etc., as long as they aren't running it for the purposes of offering a hosted version of that software. And Amazon/Google/etc. still really wants to offer hosted CockroachDB, they can purchase a license, which helps fund development, and would probably be a financial rounding error to an outfit like AWS.

> Unless something comes along that is "better enough" that people are willing to buck AWS to use it, this approach of relicensing fails.

> (and the customers certainly don't care about your licensing scheme)

I think you're misinterpreting how this license works and what it actually restricts, or you've overestimated the number of users this will affect. Most customers don't have to care; for the common use ("I want to install CockroachDB on AWS/GCP/my own server and use it as a data store for my product"), the licensing change is immaterial and they can use the software in the same way as they could when it was Apache-licensed.

The only way this backfires is if Amazon creates a clean-room CockroachDB workalike and offers it as a hosted service. Even then, it's not a slam dunk: for example, I'd very much prefer to run redis myself on bare EC2 instances than use AWS ElastiCache, as the latter just generally doesn't meet my availability requirements. I've also once migrated a service from redis to DynamoDB and had a terrible experience during and after, so switching to a theoretical workalike isn't without its costs and risks.

I don't really think increasing the world's stock of proprietary software is something to laud. Still, with their "switch to Apache after 3 years", I guess that this is still, on balance, better than nothing.

What I reject is the idea that the only choices are "make this kind of switch" OR "having a dead or hardly-maintained project". Sounds a bit "fallacy of the excluded middle" to me. But they have the right to license their thing however they want, so what right do any of us really have to complain. I just find it frustrating to see people retreating from an Open Source position given my own deeply rooted ideological bias towards F/OSS.

In short, probably not. IT departments want open source and existing desktop users mostly want Windows. Given Microsoft's recent rumblings, I think the next major thing we're going to see on the desktop is the full virtualization of Windows running under Linux and officially supported by MS. This solves both of the most pressing needs (get to open source and don't disrupt existing apps).
I think the major difference is that donors are expected to lose that money any way. Non-profit is not for profit by definition. There can be still fraud and false advertising, but at least there is no expectation of profit.

There's another angle to it post-license-change: AWS Cockroach continues tracking the latest release and pays a licensing fee for the privilege of doing so. Your costs to use it might go up a tiny amount, but AWS would likely eat most of it, and, bonus: CockroachDB's development gets more funding.

It's hard to put a price tag on knowing that an open source project your business depends on is well-funded enough that it's unlikely to disappear or be difficult to support.
This is a joke right...
There's a config-flag to turn it off. You could even deploy that enterprise-wide.

That said, every auto-update system is essentially an RCE system. For highly exposed and security-sensitive applications like browsers, the auto-update is a net win in many deployment scenarios.

At least in the mid-2000s, Zimbabwe had the lowest life expectancy in the world, according to the WHO. There are differences in distribution, particularly skewed due to infant and childhood mortality rates, but I'd still expect to see significantly lower rates of late-onset diseases in Zimbabwe. Even looking at the percentage of 70+ year-olds with a given disease, I'd expect significant survivor bias; if people don't live long once they get a given disease, the percentage of the population with that disease is low. You need to be much healthier in Zimbabwe in order to reach old age.

Differences in access to diagnosis can also skew statistics. We don't actually ever know prevalence of a given disease, only diagnosis rates (and perhaps gross estimates of underdiagnosis and false positive diagnostic rates).

Given the factors above, looking at any late-onset disease, I'd expect that the percentage of people living long enough to be diagnosed is much lower in Zimbabwe. Even when just looking at people over the age of 70, I'd expect the percentage living with any given disease that significantly affects life expectancy to be much lower in Zimbabwe.

Having a good healthcare system deceptively skews lots of health-related statistics.

As far as factors related to the article, Western diet is probably much higher in sugar and meat than an average Zimbabwean diet over the past 70 years. I have several dentist friends here in Hong Kong who mention patients being skeptical about modern dental practices because their grandparents never had problems, forgetting that their grandparents had diets much higher in plants and much lower in sugar.
I wouldn't say nonsense, but the problems are different and maybe worse.

Below: Engines can strike the ground. There is more debris ingestion, ranging from sand and burst tires to people and baggage carts. Noise regulations are harder to satisfy.

Above: Failure causes nose-up (as power is lost), which may lead to a stall. The aircraft sits lower in the water after a water landing. Being nose-up may put the intakes in slow turbulent air flow, killing performance and possibly stalling the intakes. Ice and rain may come off the body, to be ingested by the engines.

Some things could go either way. Maintenance is going to involve a crane or a jack to get the engines off.
Yeah that's just not true at all in the US. Delta's premium economy gives an extra inch or so. Sometimes you can get lucky in finding one of the few seats with no person in front of you. But those go fast, and usually to people who don't even need them(not that there is a problem of need, but as a fellow 6'5er it is a bit annoying). Even so, even on shorter hauls, that kind of upgrade is typically in the 100 dollar range.
