That's why we need regulations that will ban the sale of any new non-eletric vehicle in the next 5-10-15 years. Thankfully Europe is going in this direction. Asia not so much.

What's the point of "cars" that can't do at least 50mph/80kmh? You can't really use them in the city, because you get stuck in traffic just like everybody else. Here, a bicycle or a scooter / moped is the

Both recommended apps use the ZXing library. So it is a small world, and if someone overtakes ZXing (assuming that it is not malicious right now), then all apps become infected. Otherwise no security and bugfixes, no improvements, no versio

Yes. Even scrolling a long page (like this HN thread) in a web browser can easily produce it. Can be very, very annoying.

The core problem is the same as with Uber: they are playing on a field where other players have to play by strict rules (just think about what regulations apply to a hotel, for example), but they do not. In other words, it all started as an

Civ1 is one of those old games which I can still get lost in, almost 30 (!) years later (yes, I played it in 1991, I'm that old). Interestingly, one of the things that puts me off playing anything even remotely modern is the graphics.

How about getting back to the basics? You know, taking some maths classes, CS fundamentals, algorithms, data structures, that kind of stuff. It is timeless, and if you are self-taught, I can guarantee you that you have massive holes in your

I think it's a mistake to design a language in 2020 with C-style curly bracket syntax. It just looks like line noise compared to SQL, or whitespace significant languages.
