In addition to this, I always think about Matt Might's "Parsing with Derivatives." [1] I'll have to read about flap, as it seems to utilize a lexer based on derivatives. [1]: https://www.youtube.com/watch

The incentive structures of the organizations producing the software. If your software is slow, it's probably because nobody was incentivized to make it not-slow. There's plenty of software out there that's fast, but if perce

Some of these are things we can control with infrastructure and regulation (e.g. why is your airport so close to housing?), and others aren't really what I would consider problematic noise. Sirens are an unfortunate reality, but the re

It is likely a function of density. India is particularly heavily populated and their cities are very dense. Suburbia and lower-density neighbourhoods will necessarily reduce the number of chance encounters, and thus possibilities to make f

Someone else has already mentioned a bicycle, but my vote would be for a bicycle with an e-bike upgrade kit. Do the hard work upfront to find something compatible, in particular around batteries (so they don't e.g. start a fire). From

Vehicular cycling is such a ridiculous ideology and mantra. John Forester has done more damage to not-cars-means-of-transportation than pretty much any other person riding a bike, and many more outside of that group. The "Well there&#x

I don't think I'm necessarily disagreeing that in the worst-case scenario that helmets do the job of reducing brain and skull trauma. Doing something is the alternative to doing nothing, you'd expect some difference here. My

Not really? There may be slight reductions in some injuries as a result of helmet use, but for most cyclists this isn't really what you'd call definitive data. At the end of the day, a few inches of foam isn't going to protec

I think getting rid of a stigma for those that didn't go to college is fine and probably something we should work at more as a society. But the focus on work, jobs, etc. and the general assumption that education is purely vocational an
