Make all the excuses you want, but the OP isn't "forced" in any real sense. They want children, and they're choosing to pay a high price for them. If the OP made minimum wage would they make the same choice? If they

Maybe they can fix it so preferences don’t auto-revert after upgrading? It wouldn’t be enough to win me back, but it’d be nice if they respected users a tiny bit.

It's not really a problem, though. 9 times out of 10 shell one-liners are single use, and when they're not, I want something more readable than a one liner, anyway.

Okay, but all this app does is add a middle man, and that's just going to slow things down. If the city is ignoring complaints and fatalities, why would they pay more attention to this app? As much as I dislike the survelience aspects

I don't see how this helps. What would be useful is for you (and your neighbors) to report the issue to the city and have them install speed bumps and maybe have a speed trap setup. Not everything needs an app.

They should market this to the nosy busy-bodies on NextDoor. Can anybody explain why they would install an app like this? What ever happened to people minding their own business?

I have a different take away. This type of thing is why I only run software from the Debian repos or that I build myself. On machines I own, anyway. I personally still think the UI of web apps are generally terrible, and though they may no

It's experimental because few of the developers (and few SBCL users) are on Windows, so it's possible more bugs slip through. Developing on Windows is terrible, so it's no surprise volunteers don't want to spend their t

That works in Lisp, too though, but it's easier and faster to run the tests in the REPL, so you get the best of both worlds. When I write Lisp I usually start testing in the REPL, iterate until the test code gets to be a few lines long
