That doesn't track at all to me as a European also. You must have hit an edge case with the car app. First time customer discount or something. The cost of a comparable single trip for me would be on the order of 5x more expensive, in

Sounds preferable to being killed by a road raging human driver. To me. Preferences differ, I suppose.

You're describing the 99% problem—getting 99% there is relatively easy, but once you do, you find out that you have the remaining 99% of work left to do. This illusion is partially why Musk has been promising self-driving to be availab

None of this is true. A company left to their own devices will optimize for maximum profit at the cost of literally everything else. Every cost of their business that's possible to externalize will be externalized. Every corner will be

Ah, the freedom of a car. Well, in any case, this is easy to circumvent—use public transport or ride a bike. Wait, what country are we talking about here? Oh... right.

That's exactly the problem—vehicles may exist anywhere at any time and block arbitrary parts of your line-of-sight. That's why you have to learn to deal with it as a driver. That said, obviously care should be taken to limit occur

But I don't want to read your cute custom hashmap code. Go really shot for the stars with its primary design goal of uniformity. The hashmap you're using is the same one I'm using, is the same one any random Go repo on Gith

To be fair, there is no way to fix this in the general case—large vehicles and other objects may obstruct your view also. Therefore, you have to learn to be cognisant of line-of-sight blockers and to deal with them anyway. So for a not-terr

I circumvent the problem by not using carts. If I take a cart into the store I'll walk out with a full one. If I take a basket, I'll walk out with a full one. If I take nothing, I'll walk out with my hands full. I'd rath

Unless there is a shortage of wind on a given day/week/month. Then the cheapness is no longer surprising ― you are literally paying only what it costs to provide the electricity now , not at any point in the future. Maybe the gua

Right, I meant that the binary should run slowly on purpose , so that people don't end up defaulting to just using the debug build. A nice way of doing so without just putting `sleep()`s everywhere would be to enable extra safety chec

by Mawr 11mo ago
Yeah, but just going back to warnings would be a regression. I believe the correct approach is to offer two build modes: release and debug. Debug compiles super fast and allows unused variables etc, but the resulting binary runs super slowl

A bus provides equivalent utility to maybe 20-40 cars and is driven by a professional driver, so I'm not too worried.

I'm surprised hand sizes haven't either. Er, Apple is, apparently.

If you're aware of the above then you're aware of what you're doing by piping curl into bash. In reality, nobody checks checksums of binaries they download, so piping curl into bash makes no difference.

Can you reasonably get by without a car? For most Americans the answer is no. Therefore, yes you are enslaved. You don't have the freedom to choose how you get to work, you have to spend money on a car.

Yes, cars are flexible. They are jacks of all trades, but masters of none. At long distances, trains win handily. At short distances, bikes do. > Need to move 3 or 4 people? Driving the car may be cheaper. That's the issue―the avera

Really? This is your go-to argument? And nobody's pointed out to you before how bad it is? Well then. Do the opposite thought experiment for me: Pick any two points of interest on the map and see how well connected they are with roads.

No? Why would I care? I'm going to work/school anyway. I want light during my free time in the evenings.

Sure there is, but you need to understand the variables involved. How expensive is the bike, how safe is he area, how long are you leaving it there for? At its worst, people get their fancy bikes robbed as they're riding them in big ci
