I know this goes against the HN groupthink, but a lot of those accidents are not the car or the drivers fault. I live in a small college town. We have huge problems with students just walking right off the curb, especially when drunk.

Depends. For most of my childhood all of I95 in Virginia was a toll road.

Point taken, andf I was actually already doing a fair bit of that, but there was a bug where town names identical to a station name were getting culled. Fixed and uploaded. Also have the data for a few other countries crunching away.

Prior to 1948 when they were all nationalized into British Rail, there were various railroad companies operating across the country. One of these was the Southern Railway, which, well, operated in the South. They started electrifying very a

I’ve been working on a rather complex mapping project and have been getting MUCH better results with Fable than Opus.

No, it isn't easy to change at all. Not unless the car was specifically designed for it, and not nearly that much of a jump. The ones that exist in real life are almost all for switching between Russian (5ft) and Standard (4ft 8.5in) g

You may not imagine saying it, but we've all heard it plenty of times that we're not exactly going to assume it comes from a good place.

Yes, you could if you were entering them manually, but some apps that generated file names would screw it up. I think they were using some sort of stdlib function to get the path seperator. Forward slash paths working in native windows apps

The biggest issue I remember is directory seperators... windows of course using \ which bash would then interpret as an escape. Cygwin mostly papered over that from what I can recall, but it could lead to some weirdness, like sometimes yo

The "Alaska" bit is very important. Very remote, very cold. Everything is very expensive because almost all of it has to be shipped in by air. Yes, the US teacher pay is generally crap and we're short on teachers everywhere,

Never enabled it. I always explicitly skip the "Setup/Enable siri" step on every update.

Since when? I've used Carplay for years and I've NEVER had Siri enabled. I despise voice control.

I was only using your own framing. You're the one who lazered in on health . > What’s healthy isn’t complete abstinence, it’s moderation. With alcohol this is well established to be false. https://www.who.int/europe

That is true of some things, but the modern evidence is quite clear on the healthiest amount of alcohol being zero.

Producing a lathe cut is the first (physical) step of many of pressing vinyl. This isn’t targeting consumers, or even record stores, but record pressing plants. This is kind of a big deal because this sort of fundamental equipment hasn’t be

You’d cut it normal equipment, with very wide groove spacing. Start the two grooves 180 degrees out of phase. They’ll never intersect. You could do it with more than two grooves, just to having them at 360/n degrees apart. You’ll just

Very easy to say from an ivory tower when you're not the patient stuck in a rural area with poor care, and a symptom list a mile long. The alternative isn't "run everything by a human doctor", it's nothing .

I’d be really careful with language like. For me the sensory and executive components are clearly disordered and border line disabling all on their own., and while it is what “me” is, it certainly isn’t making me or anyone around me happier

To a point, but we're talking a laptop, not a server farm. Even if you're going fullbore wide open 24/7 that's about $150/yr in electricity bills at average rates. Not quite nothing but in terms of AI costs that&#

Because economy of scale isn't really the right metric here. A machine you were you were going to buy anyway essentially has a TCO of $0.
