I love that I see this on hacker news of all places. As an east-anglian I would definitely second this opinion. Times are a bit harder now but there are still so many great breweries.

I didn’t say God only wants people to have sex for reproduction. There are two purposes in this philosophy: reproduction, and the deepening of marital unity

I’m not supporting it, but how is it inconsistent?

I can speak more to the Catholic view than the evangelical, but if you accept the initial premise that there is a creator God then the rest follows fairly naturally (you can look the ‘the theology of the body’ if you want to read more)

Because in their philosophy sex serves a purpose (procreation and the deepening of the marital union).

Anything that doesn’t support those two aims (contraception, abortion, gay marriage, pornography etc.) is therefore immoral but there’s nothing wrong with sex in its ‘proper’ context.

I don’t have hard evidence, but when I was a kid I enjoyed the children’s book ‘Five children and it’, written ~1900

The children cart their two year old sibling around with them everywhere (sans parents) and it’s totally unremarkable.

I knew of Fabrice, and have admired him for many years…but who is DHH?

That’s great! It’s very much not the norm here in general tho, in my experience two weeks would be the max people would take off contiguously.

I think the idea is that while individuals will absolutely find ways round it, it should help to reduce the network effect of everyone a kid knows being already on it. How true that is remains to be seen.

One campaign I’ve liked is one in the UK to try and get the parents of whole year groups in school to agree to not buy phones until their children are a certain age. This removes a lot of the peer pressure of ‘my friends all have one’.

I agree, another example is the line ‘lots of things had to be done by hand’. I think a more human narrative would be describing the discovery that thing X that we take for granted was missing and tell the story of figuring it out.

Giving them the benefit of the doubt though, perhaps they were aiming for brevity.

Maybe there are different sized pints, but in the uk a pint of beer is about 200 calories.

Depends on your social circle of course, but it’s pretty standard to have two or three pints if you meet up with friends in a pub.

Thank you for sharing!

I’m interested in how this works in practise - I guess you’ve written a skill to do code review, then your Claude.md file tells it to use it after every change as a bg task? So does this work as a background task while Claude is working on the next ‘feature’?

There are!

It’s also a very western view - block printing was a thing in China well before this. I don’t know, but I suspect there are older surviving presses there or in Asia more generally.

Yeah I’ve had the same thought. You can get cheap kits but the instructions tend to be vague/machine translated from Chinese.

I think there’s a gap in the market for quality kits with good educational instructions - but I think the market size would be very small

Plants are nice…but, from your link:

“These results are not applicable to typical buildings, where outdoor-to-indoor air exchange already removes volatile organic compounds (VOCs) at a rate that could only be matched by the placement of 10–1000 plants/m2 of a building's floor space.[2]

The results also failed to replicate in future studies”

I also agree co2 levels are super important, but I’m wondering: in your situation isn’t air pollution from the motorway a concern? Not sure how to balance that one

I am probably one of the few people here that used this ‘in anger’. Around 15 years ago I would typeset orders of service in tex for our college chapel, and enjoyed typesetting the chant - this tool made it really easy and I could produce IMO beautiful documents.

Most of the time people used bitmaps which would be blurred/pixelated or not resize well

You can…but, won’t the frequency will be stable across the UK grid and these are all in London. Secondly, pretty sure they all use DC motors, so no hum

Out of interest, why does that seem a strange methodology?

Out of interest, why does it sound kind of crazy?

Here, pets have always had to be identifiable: historically with a collar, but microchips have been required for some years now as a more effective method.

(That applies nationally, not some city thing)

I used to work for a large enterprise, and tried to get vim ‘approved’ for internal use. I remember this charityware clause caused our legal department to get tied up in all sorts of arguments about how we could be opening ourselves to liability if we used it without donating. It was my first lesson in navigating large company processes.

In the end I just kept quiet about the fact that it ships in all the Linux package repos.

(Just to be clear, I fully support what Bram did here)

I think this is probably quite dependent on what’s normal for ISPs in the region. In the UK for example, every ISP router I’ve had runs a DNS server and it’s that which is given out via DHCP. It then forwards onto the ISPs DNS platform.

HTTPS does encrypt query parameters, all of the HTTP request goes inside the encrypted session.

The only thing outside is the hostname, if the connection is not using the latest versions

Owned by Tesla but leased to the public. In the UK it’s common to lease a new car rather than purchasing it, and often the car manufacturer has a financial services arm that manages the lease.

probably not so useful in practise, but still fun and interesting.

Yes, centralised C2 is definitely still a thing in the malware space, for commodity malware it works well enough that there's little real incentive to move to anything more complex.

Not quite, it talks about configuring your home network to resist those things (as per the title). It’s just that the home network happens to be in China.

It’s a useful writeup, I’ve done similar things outside of China to facilitate split tunnelling or bypass geoblocking.

Maybe not on compsci? but when I did electronic engineering it was covered as part of our embedded systems course.

There’s quite a lot of info out there on UEFI, and tiano core is open source. I taught myself enough to implement a small game you had to solve to be able to boot your machine, for example :)

I have a 12 mini and have also found that 26 has killed my battery life.

I also agree that they didn’t test it on smaller screens, there are lots of cases where things don’t quite fit right.

I’ve been wanting a better camera for a little while, I guess it’s time to adjust to something bigger :\

Is it possible? The EU is finding now that it is hard to keep data from the USA, which as a jurisdiction falls as much into that category as China does.

I would argue it is not possible to ever consider the internet 'safe' because you happen to flow through country x, and not country y. Instead, we must keep working on the protocols that we use to try to reduce exposure as much as possible.
