Follow up from 2017 "Do baby boxes really save lives?" https://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-39366596

"[...] leading baby box companies sells its products as an essential gift for new parents, claiming studies have proven the link.

I asked the company if I could see these studies, but they said that studies showing positive results had not been published yet. Experts say that there are no studies showing the efficacy of baby boxes."

Having always used a standard british keyboard, the subtle differences, e.g. location of \, #, ", `, ~, really slow me down. It just seems petty for Apple to ignore the standard and go it's own way... then again, it is Apple.

Also, I use # loads every day for c++ macros, and #if 0 blocks.

Use a standard british keyboard[1]. It is a pain using the Mac "british" keyboard for programming in my experience.

When you've committed something, but then rebased or reset the branch position so the commit is not longer in the history of any branch or tag. This usually isn't a problem, because when you rebase work you are making a copy of the commit so references to the data should be the same.

I also think it's worth noting, `git gc`, which is triggered automatically occasionally, actually runs `git prune`.

vim + pentadactyl[1] + vsvim[2] have saved me from having to use the mouse for most of the work I do.

I think `Insert` does the same thing in Vimperator

Hacked this together to do the job:

You can specify the date to export, so could step back exporting batches until you've got everything.

It shouldn't be too hard to write a script to scrape you're whole history...

  Loading Google Maps plugin... 

  If you're using HTTPS Everywhere please disable it for 
  GoogleMaps since it makes the authorization request fail. 
  Tools Menu -> Add Ons -> HTTPS Everywhere Options -> Search 
  for 'GoogleMaps' -> Click on the green check mark to turn 
  it into a red x.

Is this a problem with the google maps 'plugin' or their implementation?

It would be great if the site url updated when I change location, then I could bookmark a link to the location I'm interested in!

Also, after changing location, nothing seems to happen for a couple of seconds. Some visual feedback that it's loading the location info would be nice.

I didn't have to login to see it, maybe the permissions on the picture changed?

What always irritates me about linkedin is its patching https support. Looks like it's completely absent on Zerply https://www.zerply.com/

Vimperator can do that. http://vimperator.org/help/vimperator/options.xhtml#%27edito...

It seems that articles on the Guardian[1] have got an "Article history" which list when the article was changed. Saddly they don't tell you how the article was changed.

Reminds me of a friend's snail-based email service [1] which also had slow delivery time.

I don't think we should start blaming the marketing agency for what has happened (even if they did start the process). It is Twitter who should take responsibility for silently transferring ownership of the @towerbridge account and then effectively deleting it.

I don't understand why the post (and this submission) don't link directly to the project home page.

This crashes for me (FF4, Win7).

I would have like to have seen it working, the image on the home page looks nice http://madebyevan.com/#webgl-path-tracing

Missleading website if you have NoScript. The video panel collapses completely and it just looks like a link to vote in some pole...

I think you need to enable cookies. That fixed the error for me.

I don't think you can use his blog tags as an analysis of his life. He only has four posts tagged PS3 and three posts tagged Xbox 360.
