And yet the vast majority of parents are in favour of a ban.

Because it’s a lesser evil, at least in the UK, which has a reasonably well functioning government and society.

As much as it pains me, I’d rather have that than the brain rot being forced on young kids. And you can argue all you want about “parental control”, but there are too many parents who don’t care, plus peer pressure is a real thing.

I also think that at that age all the social media sites are a net negative.

Totally agree. I swapped about 2 years ago (work requirements), and I battle against the Apple keyboard every single day. I prefer the Android keyboard in every single way - it’s more intuitive, works better, more logical, significantly better auto-correct, significantly better text selection, much better prediction, and so on.

Everything seems so much more intuitive and just easier in Android.

For how good the Apple hardware is compared to the rest (especially MacBooks), the software really lets it down.

Putin and Xi must be ecstatic at the leverage this gives them.

It’s lower impact than most other sports (excluding sports like darts or bowls, of course).

There’s a reason that (i) professional golfers have a longer career than most other professional sports and (ii) many sports people transition to golf later in their career and (iii) there is a high preponderance of older players in golf.

So why the sneaky shitposting and stalking over such a long period of time? Just release the documents and let people decide.

I call bullshit on the "treasure trove".

You’re trying to defend yourself, but you still can’t stop yourself from casting shade on Codesmith multiple times in this very comment.

You have just proved that Lars is spot on with his analysis that you are an obsessive stalker.

I typically prefer somewhat deeper and more thought-provoking material, but I enjoyed this book. It’s a light page-turner, written-to-be-turned-into-a-movie type book. Overall, I would recommend it.

> The point of cascading foreign keys is referential integrity.

Not quite. Databases can enforce referential integrity through foreign keys, without cascading deletes being enabled.

“On delete restrict” vs “on delete cascade” still enforces referential integrity, and is typically a better way to avoid the OP’s issue.

This is exactly how I use htmx. Is there an expectation that you use htmx differently?

> On the clickhouse query side, we end up wanting denormalized data for query performance and to avoid JOINs. It's frequently not a great idea to query in clickhouse using the same table structure as you're using in your transactional db.

> In our experience we sync a few tables with PeerDB but mostly end up using app-level custom code to sync denormalized data into Clickhouse for our core use-cases.

Have you explored dbt? You may find that using custom code is not scalable, and that dbt solves this exact problem.

What about hosting video on R2 and using the CDN?

Yes, a balance bike or no pedals is a great way to start.

When they are ready the progress to a pedal bike, and they need some assistance, do not hold the bike (either by the handlebars or seat or anywhere else).

Instead, gently place your hands on their shoulders to stop them falling - this forces them to be in control of the bike’s balance without you interfering directly. They will learn to balance and pedal much faster this way.
