Another example: unify all the separate "rule" types. There's page rules, firewall rules, IP access rules, user agent rules, etc. It can get unwieldy.

There's absolutely a high season for tourists. That's what I was referring to when I said it's not that difficult to avoid the crowds; all we did was go during the off-season.

I'm in Venice right now and while there are many tourists (this city survives entirely on tourism) it's far from overwhelmed. We haven't waited in any lines in Italy as a whole -- the only real line we encountered was at the

That will certainly be brought up in the campaign, but it was brought up in his House races and the Senate race and didn't seem to have much of an impact.

That may be due to local laws. In the places I've lived (MN and OR) no grocery stores are allowed to carry liquor.

They were made in conjunction with each other, but the blog posts contain a bit more information. I find the videos to be a bit easier to consume, though, and if I want to know more I follow the blog link in the video description.

Yes, it was ostensibly about privacy but the actual compliance requirements align with jurisdiction and access rather than privacy.

Their jobsite and contractor saws are expensive, but the cabinet saws are priced pretty similarly to other high quality cabinet saws (and SawStops are high quality).

I've chosen CircleCI over Travis for some projects because CircleCI is free for private repositories (to an extent). Travis is only free for open source, and is slightly more expensive for similar resources. Of course that doesn't

They're closing a few downtown stops that saw low usage to speed things up, but it will still be sluggish. I think the only real solution would be to move the Red/Blue lines to the transit mall and put all the downtown track under

Ottawa managed this by building a massive BRT system with its own roads and off grade bypasses, as well as dedicated lanes in the downtown area. They're beginning to implement light rail [1], which is fairly simple for them as they can

There are periods where you don't want the cold air to move into the refrigerator. Direct exchange allows the cold air to move around at all times -- regular refrigerators just turn a fan on and off, but some heat is always exchanged t

Regular refrigerators use the same principle, albeit with a mechanism much simpler than a heat pump. They have holes between the freezer and refrigerator compartments and use a fan to push cold air from the freezer to the refrigerator. A he

Agreed, and those are essentially what I'm advocating for, but the vast majority of bike lanes aren't like that. I live in Portland, the most bike-friendly city in the US, and we have very few of them. I would also say they aren&#

I think a better, albeit more difficult and expensive solution, would be to implement space for scooters and things like them. In the US we only have two spaces: the sidewalk and the street. Adding a third space for bikes, scooters, and oth

It's interesting that it peaked at 1.5m comments/mo in late 2016 and it's shrunk to 820k comments/mo. That's a huge drop. It sort of makes sense, seeing as the election ended, but that activity decrease is far large
