Most people of that era were "very well-dressed" relative to their wealth compared to today's "pyjamas and slippers to go to the local shop" level of couture, so I'm not to sure how much you can read into that.

relative to their wealth

But total wealth was a lot lower than today, while clothes were much more expensive relative to the average income than today. Many people wore their best clothes on Sundays only, and street photos from the same period show that an average person was dressed rather simply.

I don't even think that the tube was affordable to average working class public. When I read historic accounts from much later (the 1930s), they mention that fare on public transport was expensive enough that you had to choose between a breakfast and a ride.


Obligatory /disclaimer/disclosure/. (Don't worry, most HNrs get this wrong for some reason. I will be downvoted for pointing this out, but whatever. It's a meaningful difference to those that understand.)

Arguably they first disclose (employee) then disclaim (but not for a while now)...

I have been making this mistake for decades. I am upvoting your comment to show thanks!

That's a pretty low bar

> despite never having seriously attempted a heist or trying to get contraband on a plane

So you've tried casually? What does a casual heist look like exactly?


"For those who have forgotten..."


Not true. Radix was built by a team on a Modulz paycheck, then acquired and (more or less) abandoned by WorkOS.

Your (implicit) point that Shadcn didn't develop the underlying component library still stands.


> everything lives in your own code base

A common misconception.

In reality Shadcn is a thin wrapper around libraries such as Radix, recharts, etc. The article says as much.


Sure, but if you wanted to change it to just use a radio input you could. Shadcn gives you a baseline.


native radio buttons gives you a baseline.

You can only call Shadcn a "baseline" if it was a baseline of the last floor of the babel tower of abstractions.


Sure, that's true. I oversimplified.


What's the befit of speculating at this point? Let the investigators investigate, and hopefully some lessons will be learned.


Social? A lot of the bars/restaurants people go to in the morning for coffee/breakfast usually have news on the TV, and people usually talk with each other when big news happens.

This morning, big debates about what happened, whose fault it is, how safe/dangerous trains are, anecdotes from the past and jokes. Somber but lively discussions. Benefit is social cohesion with your neighbours and compatriots :)


"e.g." isn't used correctly here. It's intended use is as a connector linking a clause to examples supporting that clause. You can't simply substitute "for example" with "e.g." anywhere in a sentence and expect it to function correctly.

Regardless, these Latin abbreviations best avoided entirely due to the surprising number of readers who don't understand them.


This looks interesting. Can I use it to back up photos from one (old) photo library, and restore them into another (newer) one?


Yes — that’s exactly what it’s designed for. You can back up photos from one Photos library and later restore them into a different Photos library. The restore process recreates the items in the target library using the data stored in the backup.


Thanks. I'll give it a go
