I am cycling to work, and I don't "smell like a cyclist". It takes 20-25 minutes by bicycle, would take a bit over an hour on foot. Huge number of my colleagues do the same. Pls get your facts right.

Why would it make it hard to type? There are probably hundreds of different keyboard layouts so far. That is a long ago solved problem.

So, when deciding an alphabet for a language, you would go with computer-friendliness as a key metric? Also, what does "computer friendly" mean? How would you break the word "s’i’i’e" into graphemes? "s’" is a

The likelihood of death is proportional to speed [1], and the speed is lower in the urban cores. The math is super simple, and let's stop trying to justify bad urbanistic (essentially, political) decisions blaming it on the bad fate in

Any commute is a commute. And if the only possible commute is driving 60+ minutes, citizens should seriously consider changing their city (in both meanings of the verb), rather than pretending a virtual workspace is as good as real one.

You should ask your local government for dedicated biking infrastructure then.

by jablan 9y ago
Exactly, because both the rules and, even worse, the infrastructure are made for cars, and only shoehorned for bikes afterwards.

I don't get why you would have to worry, unless you are some kind of psychopath or sociopath and it can be seen from these posts? We all say/write stupid things when we are 17, why would it affect your career in any way? Look it o

It probably goes well with typing on one of these horrible new Macbook keyboards - it makes you think twice before pressing each key, thus making your code even more thought-out and succinct. As one of those programmers who were long ago fo

What about Apple's hardware quality really makes that much of a difference? Is it really that important for a tool which is meant to be replaced in 3 years to be made from machined aluminum and beautifully designed (sometimes even at e

For me personally, Home, End, PgUp and PgDown keys. Also, MX switches. I can work without them, but I really think my tools should adapt to me, rather than vice versa.

It's really not that hard. I am forced to use Mac at work, while using Linux at home (also with very different keyboards), and getting use of making a mental switch when needed is matter of months. It is not much different than learnin
