Depending on your interests and timeframe, here are some ideas:

- Teach them about color theory with three flashlights and a red, green, and blue gel taped over each one. Then, kill the lights and show them how additive color turns things white. For added fun, bring a water bottle and red, green, and blue food dye. Dye the water black with the dyes to show subtractive color... then chug the water and "die on stage".

- You mentioned drones... literally just bring a drone.

- Buy a some piece of wood from AC Moore and hot gun some components and a battery pack to simulate how electricity flows (battery to switch to led to battery). Add some permanent marker to point out the components

- I once bought an LED foam sword from Wal-Mart and took it apart in class to show the same thing as the LED board suggestion

- In a similar vein, any kids Arduino/Raspberry Pi project

- You also mentioned photography, so if you're willing to have kids touch your camera equipment, you could show them different ISO/aperture/exposure settings

- There are also Scratch/Snap!/CodeCombat exercises out there

Thankfully the misguided consumer welfare model of antitrust has slowly been changing with Lina Khan's work.
Bear in mind this study is only considering effect on the heart, caffeine's primary effect will be on your brain.

(Plus since the '25 cups' only comes from the fact that that is the limit of who they tested, the result is essentially 'we haven't found a level of coffee use that is harmful to the heart, yet'.
Man, I hate when I get dragged into these sorts of intense emotional downs by silly internet conversations with strangers.

FWIW I undowned your posts; internet karma is about communication/moderation, and sometimes has the opposite of the intended effect. I've been there.

Anyways, find some time to pet a dog/cat or fly a kite today.
8? 10? Surface roads change in character significantly throughout the city and often have discontinuities, intersections vary in anxiety level, etc. Cycling the geometrically simplest route is a recipe for pain. You want to be on streets that are quiet but don’t have too many stops, have the protection of traffic signals when they cross major roads, avoid hills, etc. It’s a balancing act.
It seems demographics plays an oversized role in deciding how much money / taxpayer can be paid in social benefits.

You can use :save or :pipe on these, but yeah - xdg-open would also be cool. Mailcap support would also be great.

>Account password is stored in plaintext

In a chmod 600 file, though. There's also an option for configuring a command to run to retrieve your password by e.g. decrypting it with gpg: see aerc-imap(5), or :help imap, for details.

Clio | Los Angeles, Calgary, Vancouver, Dublin, Toronto | Full-Time | Onsite

Clio does legal practice management software. We serve a meaningful industry (no ads or selling stuff). Stack is Ruby/TS. Our current size makes it ideal for developers to have an outsized impact. Come ride a rocket ship with a well validated business model. We are looking to grow product in all our development offices, mostly senior and up. Also looking on the management side (has to be hands-on technical). I personally relocated from Europe to help jump start our Calgary office (the mountains are awesome).

Have a look at our recruiting site https://www.clio.com/about/careers/ or I'm always happy to get emails from HN at alexis.deschamps@clio.com

I'm not complaining about this feature, I'm talking about overall feeling of their priorities. It took them ages to have an Apple Watch up with folks like VOX had it no time.
Their priorities are unclear, highly voted feature take ages to appear in the apps, the apps itself look like compromise and attempt to save on developers and reuse as much of web version as possible. It just doesn't feel like a carefully designed experience.
I'm not saying Apple Music is perfect or anybody else, I just choose the less annoying thing for myself.
Not really sure a locked tweet or tweets is a sure sign of a conspiracy.

Don't be like this commenter. They are lying. Their misrepresentation is the joke. It's not funny.
Background transfer service could do this. Also, background fetch and background notifications both allowed arbitrary background execution, but only up to 30 seconds.

This feature replaces background fetch.
Can anyone from Apple chime in about the vetting process which results in Apple releasing features 5-8 years behind similar offerings, when it isn't the first?
Yep, that’s what meant when I said that the definition was too narrow
How is it harder to prove? It's completely provable and even a huge complaint of developers of the platform.

Everyone expects free/0.99 apps and it costs way more to produce and support them.

Apps, before we had an app store, were absolutely more expensive than this.

Which apps are expensive?

Not to defend Apple here, but when the store was introduced people didn't mind the 30% hit because:
1. Credit card processing wasn't as easy as it is today, and the store takes care of all that
2. Store hands distribution and listing

Before the app store we actually had to go to a physical store to buy software. Sure some you could buy online but really not all that much (comparatively) and discoverability was basically "hope someone with a big blog or CNET review it".

Of course now it is difficult to be discovered because there's tons and tons of other things out there.
CC processing is not difficult and there are companies like Stripe that you can go through... etc.
Gnus has been great for me, but after about 40k+ (I stopped looking at the counts actually) messages in my Maildir, performance suffers for me (that is, if I start gnus from scratch it takes more than an hour and a half to open, with my entire Maildir in the page cache, and a huge amount of extremely fast memory). Notmuch doesn't seem to help at all, or if it would, it's hard to tell if it's configured correctly.

Maybe just have a chat button or a link to the chat on your support page? I'm in the strange position of both liking the chat approach (I've used it on Dell's site, probably others), and also very much disliking chat popups. It feels like it's really there so that someone can convince you to buy something. It's even worse when there's a fake initial message - "Hi there, I'm Jen. Can I help you?" - it seems especially imposing.
The nesting makes it look similar but Shoes isn't declarative so it works very differently under the hood
...and university/company sometimes makes you wipe out the git commit log, so you can't always just use "HEAD at time of submission".

Pro tip: at paper submission time, md5sum your code and also git tag it in your private repo. When you release the code, if you have to / want to release with a clean history, make submission-time your initial commit and then make the current state of the repo your second commit. I've never encountered an institution that won't allow that level of history in the code release, even places that are pretty hard core about wiping pre-release history.
I was driving to Paris from Frankfurt and I found a rest stop that had a very very short on ramp, most cars couldnt get close to speed on it. Completely unusual but they do exist. I had rented a BMW 540i so I got to speed relatively quickly. I have also seen frustrated drivers pass on the right where they shouldn't.

Not everything is perfect on the Autobahn
My thoughts:

Apple Music is so much more baked into the Apple ecosystem, isn’t a rip off (as I might expect), and doesn’t have crappy selection (as I was afraid of — it has pretty much all of the niche stuff I didn’t expect it to).

iCloud and Apple Music are just part of the device purchase for me tbh. The whole thing is supposed to work together, and it does for the most part.

Someone mentioned regional licensing issues on Apple Music, which makes sense. I have not seen that yet in the US.
Stupid bigot does bigoted things stupidly. Now, here's Dan with the weather.
I feel like CRUD can be a simplistic categorisation at times. Take a look at the Slack app, for example. It's got chat messages. Also rich media. And threading. And user profiles. And notifications. But each of those is "just" CRUD. That doesn't mean it's a walk in the park. By broad definition just about every piece of software ever created is CRUD.

It is expected. It isn't required on day 1, and we have kept on some people who couldn't get one. People can be mistaken about what would cause denial, so ask if you are unsure. Things far in the past are often forgiven, at least if you disclose them immediately. The major causes for rejection are massive out-of-control debt, personal conduct (lied on the application, etc.), and foreign connections.
The ordering of the feed page is driven by an algorithm. And it seems many people have too many subscriptions and just look at some of the top videos in the feed before moving on. This means as a creator you have to appease the algorithm even for your subscribers, to win against their other subscriptions.

I personally work offline for a fair bit (personally more productive that way, and I'm also traveling plenty for work). So I kinda like the mbsync & maildir indirection (although I do hate the lack of NOTIFY, and some other imap inefficiencies around not supporting QRESYNC etc).
You can also say that Gnus is slow, if you want to be extra cheeky. As currently configured, opening gnus on my (admittedly a bit large) Maildir takes more than an hour (no, really, I'm not joking); of course, once it's up I dare not close it, and that works out fine for me.
I was looking at the git page and wondering where I could see discussion on features/bugs etc, I did not find it and was a bit frustrated.

I found out reading this comment that not only it has a todo page but it works great! Not sure if it's a design choice but perhaps making the resources accessible in a single page (e.g. like a project home) would be something worth of consideration.

The Dreadnought Hoax
Not from Apple, just a happy customer.

I'm actually thankful that Apple forces developers to respect my battery life. Battery life on Android has been a shit-show for years because any app can burn your battery down by constantly downloading who knows what in the background (probably ads).

The vast majority of our hiring is for DC roles, because that's where the work is for us. 1-2 of our agency partners let folks come to DC for 6-12 months, then have a conversation about remote work. But it's helpful to come to DC to get a handle on how the government operates... differently than the tech industry.

We did just hire a recruiter who is based in SF, but it's mostly DC for USDS.
It would be nice if we could add some human rights issues to Trump’s list of grievances. I feel like coverage of what’s going on would feel entirely different if part of it was saying “stop running concentration camps”

I think it's not an idiotic idea, it's just that your idea of what counts as third-party payment support is a single smaller payment provider located mainly in the United States. I follow a similar policy, but in my case the third-party payment services are Paypal, Stripe, and Coinbase, all of which are reliable and don't require me to give financial data to the seller. Paypal seems to be near-universally supported on small ecommerce sites.

I'd see a doctor about that, water shouldn't give you a headache unless you drink much more than 6-8 cans worth a day, you might have a sodium deficiency or have something else wrong. Maybe even a sugar come down from the 6-8 cans of soda which is far from healthy.

I disagree with you, but am curious about your argument. Wouldn’t this cut off the brain drain that’s contributed to decades of American technological supremacy and economic growth?
That wouldn’t have broken as much, since everyone’s scripts would have a bash or sh shebang line on top. Changing what /bin/sh points to is a much riskier change.
When you have a vehicle capable of 3 digit speed you would be surprised how “planted” it feels at speed. If the car you drive feels unsafe at speed you should probably slow down.

FWIW, I downvoted because because you somehow managed to break about half of the HN comment guidelines [1] in a single comment, in particular:

* Be kind. Don't be snarky. Comments should get more thoughtful and substantive, not less, as a topic gets more divisive.

* When disagreeing, please reply to the argument instead of calling names. "That is idiotic; 1 + 1 is 2, not 3" can be shortened to "1 + 1 is 2, not 3."

* Please respond to the strongest plausible interpretation of what someone says, not a weaker one that's easier to criticize. Assume good faith.

* Please don't make insinuations about astroturfing. It degrades discussion and is usually mistaken. If you're worried, email us and we'll look at the data.

* Please don't comment about the voting on comments. It never does any good, and it makes boring reading.

And don't you think it would have been more efficient to write it down clean at first with good comments and code practice ? Those good practices are here for a reason and not just for annoying you for the sack of "beauty". You would save more time for yourself when you wanna expand the paper further or just reuse some part of it, have better reputation for your work, and gain some citation because people will have the tendency to use your code as a starting point.
It seems ':pipe' sends the data to stdin, I was trying to see a pdf file and the programs I tried (evince, mupdf) do not seem to support this (or perhaps usage is different?).

Seems like a good patch to implement a command that saves to a temporary file and opens with provided program, will certainly follow development, great work!

Background tasks are partly to blame for a device's performance degradation over time - see Windows and Android devices. I have more apps than anyone on my iPhone and the performance is still great. I can just imagine if all the stupid games I download were trying to run background tasks as well. I hope Apple lets us control what apps have permission to do this. Also I hope 'low power mode' auto-disables background tasks. Developers are going to take advantage of this in a way that often will not benefit the user.

Sorry, it seems to me like the story you're relating supports the point of the post you disagree with. Surely "sensible" people don't choose a phone on the basis of what color their messages appear as on other people's phones.

(I think there are sensible reasons to choose either platform. But the reason you're talking about here certainly isn't.)
Yes, obviously.

Don't use it in Perl 5. You have to first read the whole documentation on what when does[1] and then the whole documentation on what smartmatch does[2] and then you probably still won't know what will happen if you compare two values that might or might not be numbers, because Perl does not make this distinction for you, so smartmatch guesses. There is a reason every other operator has explicit stringy and numeric comparison versions, and optional new stringy bitwise operators were added because they had the same ambiguity[3].

If you do decide to accept a position, then do yourself a service and negotiate a market-value salary that reflects all the overtime you'll be contributing.

As for equity: that is what you get for the risk that the company will go bankrupt. The earlier you join the company, the higher the risk, and therefore the higher the equity.

Don't mix salary and equity! If things don't workout.. say, a month before your cliff, then at least you'll walk away knowing you got paid fairly.
