When I was in Lille several years ago, you were supposed to buy a ticket but it really wasn't enforced at all. The ticket machines were to the side of the train entry, and there were no turnstiles or anything like that. My first time I

> Also, 'portmantout' (not, I think, 'portemantout', since the original is 'portmanteau') involves only one change in vowel sound, right, not any major shift in pronunciation? Right on both counts. "Por

Since they mention it a couple times in the article, how do other folks handle auth for their k8s dashboards? I'm trying to figure out the best approach that right now.

There's evidence practicing the Idaho stop makes cyclists safer, even in regions where it isn't legal. If that's true, IMO cyclists should bike in the safer fashion regardless of the rules. http://www.chicagotribun

The research I've read recently indicates (responsibly) running red lights and stop signs decreases a cyclist's chance of getting hit. When stopped, a cyclist is less visible and mobile. Vehicles can be less likely to see them,

This is a myth. Rural areas get more tax money back than they pay out. Rural communities are already subsidized by cities, but their low tax base and inefficiency means they still can't provide the same level of services. That's

Just adding to your points: > The human body is very efficient. I'd be extremely surprised if my 15 minute bicycle commute to work burned more than 100 calories on top of my BMR. There's just no comparison. Also, biking is exer

I do think it's a good idea to ban phones & laptops when possible (sometimes they're need for presenting, note-taking, etc). Daydreams really aren't comparable to the other things we're talking about. I agree it&#x27

The request usually won't be _explicitly_ solicited, but there are other cues you can pick up on (ie flirting). Of course people can read general friendliness as romantic interest (or vice versa), but you can have at least a decent gue

Your examples aren't analogous. An analogous examples is: Can a Muslim person work with someone who believes the practice of religion should be outlawed and is working to make that happen?

Every source I've seen clearly states tanning always increases your chance of skin cancer. Tanning does provide a small amount of protection against burning (around 3 SPF worth), but no protection against cancer. https://w

Is this easier for someone who was a "domain expert" in an obsolete domain than for a programming generalist? i.e. could a programming generalist also "own" a domain in a couple years?

I have metal-studded tires for winter. They make a huge difference on ice , but they make less of a difference on fresh snow. For snow a fat bike is better. If you're doing a lot of winter biking, I'd suggest one or the other. Yo

It's clearly important to be able to communicate about technical problems, but is it really necessary to be able to narrate your thoughts about a technical problem in real time as you're first having them? In my work experience I

I'm the same way. Sometimes I'll try to ride slowly to avoid getting sweaty, but I'm rarely successful. I'm just used to riding faster, and it's more fun. As you said, it also can feel safer/more natural if you

The ACA pretty clearly made health care more affordable than it would have otherwise been[0]. Still, it was an incremental change and a huge compromise compared to what I'd really like. It doesn't make sense to mock the name of th

For me, by far the biggest difference is the notifications. In HipChat, notifications are both buggy and almost completely unconfigurable[0]. If I sent a message to a colleague while they were offline, they would never get notified of it[1]

In my view, talking about how much representation a state deserves doesn't even make sense. People should decide elections, not some semi-arbitrary geographical boundaries. In the house, people are fairly represented. In the senate, pe

I switched from Eclipse to IntelliJ about a year ago, on a machine with an SSD, and found IntelliJ to be way faster and to have more useful features. I'm not sure what accounts for the difference.

I know about the s// substitution, but it just isn't very useful. Sometimes I'll have sent a couple messages before I notice a typo. Also, it's very limited in the type of edits it can make. Last time I tried to use
