11 and 6yo kids here.

In Android: We use Family Link to approve apps installation and set app time limits per day. No social/user generated content apps. 11yo has access to Edge browser (more on that in Windows).

In Windows: We use Microsoft Family to monitor screen time/usage. We also whitelist webpages that can be visited through Edge (settings translate to Android's Edge).

We only just got a SIM card for our 11yo (so we and family can communicate with her), we closely monitor usage and gave strict guidelines about not answering calls/texts from numbers not in the contact list.
I visited this hotel last year and asked around after the cleaned coins. The first few staff members I asked had no idea what I was talking about - but they found me a more tenured member of staff and he told me that they don't do this any more. Which is sad, because I wanted some shiny pennies!
The key breakthrough here (for the typically crappy footage) will probably involve

a) using many frames to ID the perp

and perhaps

b) working at a native H.264 I/P frame level with the neural networks, rather than at a decoded framebuffer level.
How many of your purchases are $1? You only have such a dramatic percent when the purchase price is very low.

On a more typical $10 purchase it wouldn't have much effect.
I was always confused how 37 C was a normal temperature in the US. In the USSR where I grew it was a fever and the normal was 36.6. Could it be the way it's measured?
A big part of why I use a password manager is so I can easily share passwords between devices and with my wife. While you can do this with a local service, it's a PITA.

All the downsides of online services are mitigated by:

1) Keeping a local backup of your passwords
2) Using a service which only stores encrypted vaults which are decrypted on your device with a locally stored password.
When I shovel the driveway, I'm sweating wearing no jacket, but I freeze sitting on the porch in a parka.
Thank you! That's fixed now!
I kind of emphatized with your story. My highschool math teacher was and is one of the most amazing people that I have ever met. He had a way of imposing respect without forcing it. He had a way of making you see mathematics in every day life. For example, when we begin studying logarithms, he told us that some of the shapes drawn on the curtains can be generated with composed logarithmic functions and he challenged us to come up with functions that have cool shapes :)) after that, he taught us about fractals, even if it wasn't actually in the curriculum.
He was also a good friend. I recall I could only talk with him when I had my first crush. He was always there with a mature and educated opinion. Without doubt, he is one of my role models.
Now, when I have the time, I sometimes go back to highschool and talk to him. He would let me join 12th grade class sometimes. :) One of those times, something got into me and from nowhere, I asked him whether I could address to the class. And so, I have told the students about how my ex-teacher's maths instilled a sense of rigorousness in my reasoning and how mathematics can improve your overall practical problem solving skills, which made me a better engineer today.

I could tell after that he was touched by my gesture.

I guess that what I'm trying to say is we don't arrive anywhere just with our strengths only. And we have to aknowledge that, not forget the help and pay it forward.
Be human and say thank you!

Worth pointing out that while $0.001 (mil) coins never existed, half-cent coins were minted from 1792 to 1857.

Even in 1857 $0.005 was worth way way more than even a quarter is today. Probably more than a dollar. (Actual inflation gets a bit hard to track going back that far).

Ignition!: An Informal History of Liquid Rocket Propellants.
by John D. Clark

"And even when it was successfully completed, the peroxide would still decompose slowly; not enough to start a runaway chain reaction, but enough to build up an oxygen pressure in a sealed tank, and make packaging impossible.
And it is a nerve-wracking experience to put your ear against a propellant tank and hear it go "glub" —long pause — "glub" and so on.
After such an experience many people, myself (particularly) included, tended to look dubiously at peroxide and to pass it by on the other
side."
And that's the problem - prosecutors don't want to do anything that makes police officers unhappy. That means requiring the police to obey the law. It means supporting the police when they murder people.

It's somehow considered acceptable - as in not a fireable offense - for police officers to not do their job or to prevent the prosecutors from enforcing the law.

Because police as currently operating in large portions of the US are not meaningfully different from gangs. Only they are even less likely to suffer consequences.

This isn't as bad as Slack, where they will acknowledge an incident, but then if you go back and look at their status history a week ago it ends up being understated and they update the uptime to 100%.

I know there is always the case where "it's just me", but I'm talking about an incident that was widely reported in the media because it was so widespread. While the incident is ongoing, they do provide status updates... but after a couple weeks pass, the global outage that affects everyone silently disappears from their archive. It's quite interesting.
The reactionary nature of the typical HN poster is on full display here.

Lastpass had a bug that affected a small percentage of users. They identified and fixed the bug within several days. What more do you want?

Is there really a competing product out there that guarantees NO BUGS? So, then, why the extreme nod to #CancelCulture for what appeared to be just a temporary issue?

TL;DR: Here's my beef with all the people on the internet with beefs.
Yes, but users will not be happy if they see ".example" on the URL bar. And you can't get a trusted cert for them either.

Not confusing users is why the fiasco with the https certificate problem here was initially created. And to be honest I do not have any idea how all needs (users have a trusted HTTPS certificate, a domain name and no "insecure" oe other warnings in the browser, while hackers don't get access to the certificate, and all of it works without internet uplink) can be met...

That depends on what you mean by "edible". Coffee cherries aren't particularly pleasant, at least not for human tastes, but they're strictly edible. Palm civets seem to like 'em, but not enough to make kopi luak cheap.
Because in British English, that word is pronounced unlike the letter A.
For a big portion of the app, I would agree (arguments about native feel aside).

But well, there is the virtual planner feature that makes heavy use of carefully tuned iOS gesture recognizers for zooming, panning, dragging, tapping and holding, all in combination for a smooth and useable editor on a small screen.

Not that I have actually tried, but I suspect I would have to lay more groundwork to implement the same experience with the browser DOM.
This could of course just be a lack of knowledge on my part, but my time is finite :)
This is absolutely not a myth. There have been drives that behaved this way, including from "name brand" manufacturers. Maybe those were firmware bugs, maybe they stopped doing it, but it is not something made up.

Of course there have also been controller bugs, file system bugs, and so on over the years. A decade ago the behavior of most file systems was quite poor in the face of underlying hardware failures but a lot of work has gone into improving the situation.

SSDs are slowing improving too. Most of them have claimed to go into read-only mode when enough blocks wear out but in reality most of them would crash, fail to respond, or just lose data. It turns out manufacturers tend to be a bit loose in their claims until independent third-parties put their claims to the test. More recent models seem to be a bit better behaved in failure states.
To maintain type safety, function subtypes are contravariant in the input type and covariant in the output type.

Maybe human communications also has to adhere to basic principles to guarantee robustness.
I'm happy for all the progress being made with cancer. I wish we would also make progress on diseases that attack the nervous system for which we seemed to have made next to none. Alzheimer's, ALS, MS, Parkinson's, Hunnington's Disease, Kennedy Disease, Muscular Dystrophy, small fiber neuropathy, even benign issues such as essential tremors have no cure, and some of these are painful death sentences.

We seem to know so little about how our bodies work. There are no bio markers for some of these or early detection and little idea what are the causes or the important details of what's happening as the disease progresses.
"Bird shot" is the size of the steal abrasive. Ridiculous to think they open up shotgun shells and pour in the projectiles.
>Choosing a language for performance first when developing your game is silly.

It is absolutely not. Components of the game can be done with an interpreted language but if performance is key, which it is for triple A games, then the core language is important.

Scripting languages in games tend to deal with IO a lot. If your program contains too much IO it negates almost all the benefits of FP. Procedural programming is better for modeling temporal phenomena which is the core subject of what most of these "scripts" are attempting to model.

>But saying "oh computers are inherently mutable" is a pretty worthless and shallow statement.

I beg to differ. Saying otherwise is the worthless and shallow statement.

>Nothing about that precludes FP, and FP works fine in those settings (Haskell can definitely approach C level performance if you know what you're doing)

There are many things that hinder it but not preclude it. By common sense in general, it is harder for FP to get more performance out of the system. The logic is simple, the functor from functional programs to assembly language programs cannot be written in a way where it is bijective meaning that functional primitives have to map to another category where the objects are ordered tuples of multiple assembly language commands.

In C you can very much write a program that is in spirit bijective with assembly. By that logic FP in general will be harder to control because every FP primitive means an almost unpredictable amount of assembly instructions. Performance improvements will tend to appear as leaky abstractions or hacks in FP. Especially with the call by need model in Haskell optimization is even harder.
I don't know how good protonmail's spam filtering is, but I've had my unobfuscated gmail address in my HN profile for years and I've never seen any spam (unless you count the occasional recruiter email).
You're probably right about the first part as it's pretty tangential to usual topics of discussion at Ribbonfarm.

Depends on whether the upstream project is still active, and whether your fork is targeting the same audience.

eg If you fork the code where the upstream project is obviously still active, and your changes target the same audience as the original (eg not taking in a new/experimental direction), then it could be rude.

However, if the upstream repo is no longer active the upstream authors may even happy to have someone picking up the leadership role for that particular project.
I think this article captures the Zeitgeist of this internet era perfectly.

I'm a bit surprised at the hasty conclusion though:

> The conclusion is inescapable: the IoB will shut down, and give way to something better, only when we know who we want to be — individually and collectively — when the beefing stops, and regenerate into that form. Only that will allow history to be rebooted, and time to be restarted.

The IoB is driven by human nature. It's demise would only lead to beefing in some other arena that we cannot postulate yet...
Understanding Is a Poor Substitute for Convexity (Antifragility) [pdf]
So what does one do if they want to move somewhere where they don’t know anyone?
I'm not quite sure what to make of this, but I think I agree with this conclusion:

> We are not beefing endlessly because we do not desire peace or because we do not know how to engineer peace. We are beefing because we no longer know who we are, each of us individually, and collectively as a species. Knight and mook alike are faced with the terrifying possibility that if there is no history in the future, there is nobody in particular to be once the beefing stops.

> And the only way to reboot history is to figure out new beings to be. Because that’s ultimately what beefing is about: a way to avoid being, without allowing time itself to end.

What this era calls for is us to discover new ways of being human. It sounds grandiose, but I think that's where we are.
What MLK Day Says about Your Company's Character
Perhaps this discovery could end up going the other way, with those newly discovered T-cells being the culprit in auto-immune diseases. Boosting their action would be too dangerous to use as treatment for cancer, but knowing that they are there may lead to new treatments for auto-immune diseases.

And where does this fit into transplant rejection? Perhaps MR-1 differs enough between people to cause problems. This reads like the early days of a discovery that could lead anywhere.
This would be impractical for really large monorepos like the ones Google and Microsoft have. They have virtual file system layers on top (MS open sourced theirs) to prevent checking out the whole repo.

In fact, it’s not just useful for the CI/CD pipeline - any developers making significant changes to base libraries or core infrastructure should be able to use the VFS in combination with a system like Bazel to run all (or a significant sample of) affected tests across the company.

HN is now my last un-deleted social media account... and even here I end up removing 50% of my posts, and regretting another 30-odd% after realizing they were low-value emotional negative "beef" post.

People stop learning when they grow older. Think of advertising target groups - old people don't matter because they don't change anymore.

But I don't agree with the conclusion. The fact is that there is no relation anymore. That just means that more knowledge is not more useful. It doesn't mean that people have to 'retire, switch or change careers'.

My usage of the word utter clarity is more in contrast to Wolfe's style of narrative with hidden meanings and themes.

Basically any book that has to have the reader do extra work to solve a puzzle is using the catharsis of solving the puzzle as an illusory element that affects your bias towards the book.

If the author chooses to hide information then reveals it explicitly at a later time for the effect of suspense this to me is still a story presented with utmost clarity.

From your statements it seems as if Riddley is not exactly that type of "puzzle" book.

Right, but how many of those billionaires started as millionaires (or were born into a millionaire family)? When you have generational wealth, it's much easier to take risks.
The first modern genocide (if you don't count the Congolese, which most don't but should) was a death march. The Turks didn't try to eliminate the Armenians by shooting or poisoning or slashing them; they simply made them walk, en masse and in horrible conditions, until they died.

If you've supplanted an ethnic group's government and redirected resources such that people start dying in horrifically large numbers, that is also a case in which you're committing genocide. Even if you're the Brits.
Yeah, VSE is the culprit. I think the main reason the application was never moved off VSE is that the application is developed by a consultancy firm (my employer at the time) for a public-sector client, and the leadership of the client isn't interested in investing in long-term stuff for this particular program, they'd rather try to get an extraordinary allocation on the order of a few hundred million USD and do a massive, more buzzword-compliant rewrite of a big portion of their application portfolio. Never mind that the application in question is strategically important for their ability to do their job and it's already suffering under a rather long period of under-funding and general mismanagement from the client's side. Replacing VSE would have been nice, Pharo even better (but then you need to do something about almost 25 years of GUI made in WindowBuilder...).

The funny part is that even though VSE isn't a very good Smalltalk, it's one of the most productive environments I've ever worked in.

"Most" is a broad term. I know in the Dallas are, a few stores are "owned" as one-of-two, and at least a few as one-of-three. In the cases I know about, someone had to "own" a successful stores for several years before they were allowed to try for a second.
You could say the same about IRC. GP's point is that not that many people are even on the platform. Twitter has less than 350 million monthly active users. It's about tied with Reddit. MSN had more unique monthly visitors than that in 2004.
Oh, it's worse. End-to-end encryption assurances are essentially in conflict with centralized control over software development and distribution.

Or the unit of measure. It's really hard to tell what sort of technical debt you are taking on and building for contingencies that may never manifest is it's own type of sunk cost. That's (a) why projects need to have some strategies that move forward without excluding lateral (or minor-backtracking) moves, and (b) why software development is inherently hard.
While you are correct for a still image, there is more information in a movie. That could potentially be exploited similar to the way a long exposure can cancel noise.
