Walkable cities have been working great since the dawn of cities. They continue to work fine where they are allowed to exist.

The US, which is where Phoenix is. And yes, my point is that we (in the US) should have walkable (and bikeable) cities, like much of the rest of the world.

If people were legally allowed to live near grocery stores, they wouldn't feel the need to carry four to six bags of groceries along with them.

The social factor. As someone who is very active on Bluesky, the social inertia of Tangled is great. I like Radicle too, but it's harder to collaborate with people, because it's harder to sell to people.

Not sure why you're so doomerist about it. Tax laws are way more straightforward to fix than cultural behavior.

The reason it is hard to get people to care is the obvious intent difference. People don't tend to get behind the wheel with the conscious intent of killing people, even if they make poor decisions that lead to that. Drivers killing pe

The "pavement queens" have been convinced they need larger by companies that sell trucks, because larger trucks have lower legal requirements for fuel efficiency.

This comment makes it seem like people are built differently in the US than they are in the rest of the world, but that obviously isn't true. The roads (particularly intersections, where crashes tend to happen) are in fact built differ

Thanks for the change, sorry if I came off as too aggressive. I've seen some uses of AI that were very similar that strictly made the article worse and it would have been better to simply delete it. I'll concede that I simply didn

This article might be interesting, and I'm not against AI use. I am not interested in AI slop though, and I immediately lost interest in the banner photo with nonsense text in it.

Thanks. I still feel like the social forces around it make it particularly untrustworthy though. I feel very incentivised against using it, and given the wide availability of high quality alternatives, I haven't bumped into any situati

Dude, what? "It's not just free speech when you agree with it"? I'm not infringing on their right to free speech by not using their language model. Free speech does not mean free audience. "Competition remains a goo

The important part of the "church" in this context is finding a third space[0]. A church can be a reasonable third space, even for atheists. Particularly in smaller communities with limited resources. Other healthy options include

Then maybe they actually can believe that Microsoft gets away with it. My comment was multifaceted :P

I was skeptical of the claim that it's faster than traditional SSH, but the README specifies that it is faster at establishing a connection, and that active connections are the same speed. That makes a lot of sense and seems like a rea

"Slower" only if you consider yourself to be the only individual that matters. High speed trains move way more people per mile per hour. Plus train stations can be located in much more convenient locations (directly in city center

The best quality you can get is at odds with the best speed you can get. There are lots of people (especially with specific use cases) who will pay for the best speed they can get that is high enough quality.

> It only feels that way, until you learn how destructuring works in Clojure Well... yes. The original comment was about how Clojure code looks very foreign. The reply to that was that Lisp code is not actually that foreign because it&#x

Having attempted writing a JSON parser from scratch and a protobuf parser from scratch and only completing one of them, I disagree.

Clojure has a bunch of other syntactic structures not found in other lisps that makes it a lot more visually noisy. I'm very comfortable with Scheme and I can very quickly absorb Scheme code when reading it, but I have to very slowly d
