So are you also arguing that pedestrians crossing at arbitrary places and times across a busy bike path is also something that is sensible behaviour?

Contrary to your characterization of me, I’m a cautious driver. What in my post led you to believe I’m entitled? > Their environment is unescapable and every time you interact with a road as a ped. there’s a huge chance you might die. I’

Here in Vancouver, I see bad drivers, cyclists who don’t abide by the rules for cyclists, and pedestrians that are also a careless. I don’t disagree that there are bad drivers, but unfortunately it’s the cyclists and pedestrians who pay the

My issue, as a driver, is that more and more pedestrians walk wherever and whenever they want with complete disregard for their environment. I’ve had to hit the brakes pretty hard on several occasions when I had “right of way” (right turn l

FWIW: My hunch when I read the title was that it would be about “overly smart” programmers who tended to write code that was too dense/tricky to be maintainable by anyone but themselves. Hence smart programmers writing “stupid” (aka un

Thank-you! Now I need to find a Windows machine to play it on. :)

If I find a Total Annihilation remake, I’ll have to kiss my free time goodbye. That was the one strategy game like this that I really got into.

Good for you. The problem is that today’s smartphone is essentially built to be an extremely addictive fidget spinner. Those who don’t succumb to that are the exception, not the rule. And before you say that it’s the apps you choose to inst

It seems like the Rust team isn't saying that compatibility is broken, just that there is no testing or effort to ensure compatibility. In the end it's similar, but like any project, it comes down to allocation of time and resourc

My personal pet peeve is lots that show you the apps you can pay for parking with, but then make it extremely difficult to find the lot ID. Pay-for parking feels like the kind of thing that should become a utility with one, easy, well-known

Sounds like a VW: behaves differently under test.

I often have multiple terminal tabs open. Sometimes I’ll run a command that ends up taking a while and switch away and forget about it. So I added a fish command completion script that plays a beep with afplay if the task took longer than 5

I remember borrowing Tintin books from my local library in rural Manitoba, Canada! I would get every one that I could transferred to my branch. That was in the early ‘80’s

Currently we only share Perseus (our exercise and article npm library). We do hope to begin work to share more code at some point but it hasn’t risen up in the priority list just yet.

Reminds me of Saturday Night Live’s Celebrity Jeopardy where one contestant famously mispronounced “ThePenIsMightier” category. (Just lowercase the first “I”)

The problem is that developer experience (and often user experience) aren’t always the highest priority. For many businesses that want to ship a mobile app, cost is by far the biggest constraint. And “writing once, shipping everywhere” push

I’m not too surprised. Since introducing the Instant Pot there has been a lot of competition on their main product (pressure cooker). It seems like a race to the bottom for cost and so they must have faced shrinking profit margins. Also, th

A cool idea. Question for the engineers working on this: Does this just summarize one article or at a time or cross reference multiple different sources for the same event?

I’m to the point where I’d probably put more trust in an AI generated news summary than many of the sites that purport to give me accurate and truth worthy news.

This example sounds like exactly how Fastly’s Compute@Edge works. Fastly provides an API via a rust crate that you use to build your edge (CDN) logic with. They also provide a local development cli that can run these WASM bundles with. htt

I read Code by Charles Petzold earlier this year and I feel like I had a similar realization. A simple switch can lead to such complex systems.

I haven’t looked into this for a long time but is the aftermarket head unit market still thriving? Seems like there’ll be lots of plays for folks like Alpine to cater to all the frustrated folks whose factory unit is trash.

I’ve run across comments regarding useless use of cat twice today. However, after reading the linked Wikipedia entry, it feels more like a way to give someone an ego trip than a truly more useful alternative. The Wikipedia article even conc
