I think the equivalent thing here to your gravel roads is a public harbor and dock, instead of a ferry. A ferry for <200 people sounds like trying to run public transit through Nebraskan farmland.

There are limits though. The island in question is long obsoleted by modern fishing techniques. It's a teensy tiny Bethlehem Steel. The discussion should really be framed as "managed retreat".

One law that does make sense is that drivers should not be playing with their phone while operating a car. Speed and distracted driving are leading factors in fatal crashes. Car crashes are leading cause of non-disease related death in the

Err, the premise is that Linux tech and effort is improving the appeal of Apple products, which hurts the more open, Linux-friendly competition. Look at the rest of this thread comparing MacBooks to other options. My point is that a MacBook

Anything touched by the FAA wasn't considered on technical merit, it was pure inertia and being terrified of any change, no matter how warranted. C.f. leaded gas for general aviation.

Which RFC says query parameters is a good idea? The .well-known RFC (5785) itself states: > well-known URIs are not intended for general information retrieval or establishment of large URI namespaces on the Web. The WebFinger RFC appears

Kids and covid lockdown are a combo that speaks to that "anchoring". Sure, the world has gone to hell and you can't buy toilet paper anymore. But the kids need you so yeet any nascent doomscrolling feelings in the bin, there&

The first baby is exhausting. The second one feels easy. The nervous stress that you'll break something is gone and replaced with "been there, done that". Which is really fortunate because the older one can run and climb now

Thanks. I was trying to figure out where the "monster homes" appellation was coming from. It evokes McMansions but it's more about reach and spread than size. FAR zoning not allowing for a simple 2 story home seems absurd but

I must have missed all that revenue coming to Google from "Chrome+" subscriptions. Google can't allow Firefox to die because it would raise questions about Google's own funding of Chrome.

No, you're mixing up companies with products. Any business built around a RaspberryPi is probably in the business of RPi accessories or they're an ascended hobby project.

Strong copyleft licenses like that don't get a lot of love these days. GPL has something similar. One problem is that to enforce these kinds of clauses, the original rights holder needs to go around suing everyone as it's a contra

A ban would simply result in them creating a new account. Stopping future copystrikes is just enough pain to keep them where they are while preventing more damage.

I've always viewed RaspberryPi as an educational focused product first, followed by hobbyists. Prioritizing commercial use runs contrary to my expectations.

The problem is that drivers perceive removing the existing carrots as applying a stick. If private car owners paid the full cost, transit would be a no brainer. How much public land is devoted to cars? How many DOT employees have jobs only

The phone would still see the device as a Bluetooth or USB keyboard and the "alternate usage" should work.

Ctrl-R! Ctrl-R! Ctrl-R! How many people have been on a screen sharing call and watched the other person tediously up-arrow through 5-10 commands to try to rerun what they just did? The single greatest productivity boost you can gift a CLI n

I love the ATtiny for hobby projects! The acceptable voltage range means it can run off lithium with no regulator and then the quiescent current is something like 5nA. The battery will practically self-discharge faster than the MC can wear

I wonder if a lot of Lua's 1-indexed pain would be avoided by encouraging for-each style loops. Unless you need a specific sub range within an array, for-each will get you pretty far.

I could be wrong but I don't think hydro has a low enough spin-up time to be useful as a peaker plant.

For me, I apparently say "Hey, go [get, find, etc]" a lot and my phone wakes up unnecessarily. It seems to also happen with "Let's go". It's pretty annoying.

You can 'rm /usr/local/bin/*' without sudo. Or replace /usr/local/Homebrew/bin/brew with something malicious. That's laughable and I don't know how it gets a pass from everyon

Why? Objectively, it has huge flaws compared to Linux package managers (permissions, sudo, capricious renaming of binaries).

Familiar != consistent. Mac is app-centric, all other mainstream OS's are window-centric, and they're all internally consistent. If you grew up with one system, the other feels alien and broken. For example, on MacOS, alt-tab not

Python, more than other languages, ends up being used in utility scripts on end user devices, where you'll find just about everything. Python's async seems to still have a large swing in available features. Unlike async methods in
