Horrified tourists watch swimmers desperately try to save each other from raging Waikato River | Stuff.co.nz[^]
I feel that the title of that article misrepresents the reality of what lead to the tragedy.
A more appropriate title would be: "A group of narcissistic women continue to take selfies in a stream that is fed to by floodgates, in spite of floodgate opening times being posted, warning signs, and SIRENS BLARING; they were washed away to death by the raging waters from the scheduled opening of floodgates".
Selfie with a closeup of raging floodwaters approaching in the background. Who wouldn't want that awesome one?! Umm, no.

Is this going to become SRDOTD? (Selfie Related Death Of The Day)
Just wondering?

With as many people that die from their own stupidity, you could easily have a new Darwin Award winner every hour (assuming there is a news post about it).

I'd subscribe to that RSS feed.
But then I suppose after the first 24 hours it'd get tiresome.

I find that watching people do idiotic things never really gets old and half of the content on YouTube would agree. Recently, I've been watching a lot of accident footage from Russian dash-cams. After watching about 50 or so videos I can say this, I will never get behind the wheel in Russia unless I'm driving an MRAP[^].

I love the way someone's got the video file open in Windows Media Player, and then taken their phone out to film the screen.

My first thought when I read the topic was debugging what I've done wrong when the wife is mad.
Will need better debugging tools for that.

Learned a new phrase today. Protocol Buffers.
Protocol Buffers is a method of serializing structured data. It is useful in developing programs to communicate with each other over a wire or for storing data. The method involves an interface description language that describes the structure of some data and a program that generates source code from that description for generating or parsing a stream of bytes that represents the structured data.
Nice to have a shiny new buzzphrase for an old concept.

Sounds like the description of any IPC channel.
