Another big fan of Lee Valley. A good example of a company that doesn’t need to go public or appease VC and appears to be focused more on quality rather than quantity. I hope it always stays that way.

a.k.a. adult content on Vision Pro o_O

Don't lie to yourselves.

We have two kids (4 & 6) and try to keep screentime to a minimum. There are some good apps out there (PBS, Khan Kids) in a sea of garbage.

Learn to use parental controls. My 6 year old has a YouTube Kids account, which is by nature limited to “kid friendly” content. But you can take it a step further, and limit their account to a whitelist of videos/playlists/channels you approve of. He’s only got access to a dozen or two videos and so he doesn’t get sucked into an endless stream of questionable content.

By preventing unlimited access, they often go seek other things/activities. They’ve stopped asking to watch shows and just go outside to play hockey or baseball, grab their markers to do some drawing/colouring, etc.. make it easy for them to drop into these alternate activities and the screens become less of a draw.

This all works for now, but I do fear as they get older and want to interact with friends online and whatnot. I’ve already seen some of their cousins who have more access show them stuff which they of course want to try. Not sure how long we can hold out before they realize that their iPad can do that too.

I’m getting frustrated with Lemmy. I’ve tried to reply to a post this morning and the submit button just spins. No error, nothing.

This is a bad bug, but there are plenty other small things. Like why is “Join Lemmy” link still displayed when I’m logged in?

Feels like unbaked software to me. That’s on top of all the multiple federated instances you need to wrap your head around.

I’m not sure this can compete :(

My wife is definitely in the cannot read a map group. It astounds me and I've given up all hope of teaching her how to read a map. Even with GPS maps in the car it's still iffy.

I know there is a stereotype about females and spatial awareness, maybe that has something to do with it but I like to think it was all my time playing video games as a kid, which often had a map in the HUD or whatnot.

Perhaps, but there are indeed some existing that use Apple in their name:

How often do you drive 500 miles in day?

This is my dilemma as well. New LEAF is 40+K CAD. I think I’ll try and find a used 2018 or newer for $20K and convince myself the battery will last.

Hmm.. I just gave this a quick spin and I’m not sure how they can talk about editing workflows without a culling process. I get that it leans on the Photos app for organization but the photos app is also lacking in this department. I’m looking for basics like star ratings, pick/mark, and filtering on all of the above. Looks like I’m stuck paying Adobe for a little while longer :(

At least on iPad, capture one is far behind.

This captures my use case pretty well. I’m a hobby photographer and use Lightroom on iPad as my only software step.

I’d like to dabble with video. Now I have an easy avenue to do that. If it goes well and I need more, I can move to the full experience on a Mac.

> One of the issues I got with Apple Shortcuts is the lack of timer based triggers.

That’s odd, I have (just double checked) an automation to run a shortcut every day at 0030 on my iPad. Maybe it’s just disabled on iOS?

This is so alien to me. I’ve been using Apple Pay for years. I don’t even know where my wallet is half the time. I certainly don’t carry it on my person. If you have an Apple Watch it’s even faster.

Seems to be still working for me: https://i.reddit.com/r/ottawa/

I wonder if this will affect the YouTube channel I love, Chris and Jordan!

just reading the petapixel article: it does :(

Oh man, as a longtime Mac user I have zero patience for this. Unfortunately my corporate laptop is a Windows one and when that giant, gaudy big blue Bing icon showed up in my toolbar yesterday I dropped everything to try and disable it.

I was disappointed but not surprised there was no setting for it. A quick search online led to some policy and registry settings but the corporate policies my company has in place wouldn’t allow those. Thankfully I found a command line option and quickly made a new shortcut which worked.

Back to work without that giant B looming over me.

On December 10, 2014, Ubisoft announced an HD version of the game. The new version features updated graphics as well as widescreen compatibility and was released on January 29, 2015, for Microsoft Windows, iOS and Android.

That’s awesome. One of our New Year’s resolutions was to track our expenses and budget better this year so after making a spreadsheet in January, I wrote a simple Django app last week to import our transactions and start categorizing them. Perhaps I should’ve done a bit more market research, and looked into things like this!

I wrote a small app to scan my comments and stories on hacker news. It would dump them into a postgres database and use the full text search to normalize the text of the articles to make for easy searching at a later date when I inevitably would think “where did I read that thing about this?”

Someone wrote a comment on the thread here the other day, with a bunch of them… I have been trying to remember where I saw it with no luck, stumbled upon this instead :-(

Sublime is, well, Sublime.

Every time I try VS Code I just can’t commit. There’s a bit too much going on and it never feels as tight as Sublime.

I did just get a new Windows machine, so maybe I should try it on that.

Why do you have to neutralize them into ‘people close to her’? They are her brothers. Call it like it is. Every brother-sister relationship I’ve known is distinctly different than brother-brother or sister-sister relationships.

The police had been informed prior to the stakeout.

A citizens arrest is a well-known thing, why the ???

This isn’t America, where everyone may be yielding a firearm.

Isn’t that what they added, from the article:

> Meanwhile, Airbus and the French Directorate General of Civil Aviation worked together to produce a recommended service bulletin modifying the Flight Warning Computers on A330 and A340 aircraft, allowing them to warn of possible fuel leaks by continuously comparing the planned fuel with the actual fuel on board.

Aren’t they nuts? Every time a story about oil comes up on HN I’m so confused. Everyone has different terms and expectations. Is there a one pager somewhere where we can all agree on some common ground?

Remember when there was a project that curated the best articles from hacker news and published them in a PDF monthly? Someone should bring that back!

We just added YouTube to my son’s iPad. In addition to a daily time limit we also locked his account down so he can only see videos that we explicitly add to his account.

Recommendations for a decent, entry-level CNC?

Whoa - I was also a coop student around that time (2007) but I never knew about the RIM connection until now.

I made my own :) Was not efficient at getting a web project up, but a good way to learn the language itself.
