Let's get our assumptions straight. Are you talking about riding or "riding"? What's "the freedom of the open road" an euphemism for? Doing 100 mph? Lane splitting? Racing on public roads? Yeah, that is dangero

People who seek to ride a motorcycle rarely do so out of a desire to religiously stick to the rules of the road, particularly speed limits. Take the low motorcycling population and the extreme self selection bias and you end up with an aver

The parent did not say it doesn't. He said team sports depend more on skill than fitness, which is true.

You can break down any activity down to minute detail. It doesn't make it more difficult than another one. Compare cycling to football (European of course). Nothing about cycling compares to the complex strategy and player skill involv

Not compared to any real team game like football, etc. Teams in cycling are just there to leverage drafting. It's all pretty boring and just comes down to power output in the end.

Oops, I forgot something: This is all assuming good faith. Alternative scenario: "How DARE that cyclist slow ME down! Get off the road!" -> punish pass / coal rolling on purpose

The way a Ferrari looks is the least interesting part of it too. I still want to see the thing front and center on its homepage. The syntax is the language. To show me the language you have to show me its syntax.

1. It's easier to remember. 2. Do you actually say fourteen-zero-zero or just fourteen? If the latter, that's your answer right there.

I'd have an easier time with this argument if it got equally applied to violence. It's ridiculous that exposure to sex is considered worse than to violence.

You're right in principle, but it's important to remember that tradeoffs exist. You can very much trade off engineering effort and time to improve reliability. Commercial aviation is a great example of taming extreme inherent unsa

Wow who knew concurrency is hard! This isn't anything special, if you want to start dealing with concurrency you're going to have to know about race conditions and such. There is no language that can ever address that because your

In order to run into this "issue" you'd have to do exactly what you did here - pass in a literal "1" to a function that expects a userID. That is not an issue of any sort.

Validating and then casting to a type sounds an awful lot like parsing.

That depends on your pace and your previous level of activity. If the pace is average and your previous level was ~0 then yes, you're expected to benefit a lot for not much effort. But to answer your question, walking at average pace i
