Not really - most of this subthread is about people replacing their use of a car with a bike. In that case, you have to do the same number of km. They're probably not people who commute 50 km each way, but there aren't that many o

Here are the stats for New Zealand: https://ehinz.ac.nz/indicators/transport/road-traffic-injury... Bikes are definitely far more dangerous than cars. Not as much as motorcycles, but that’s scant comfort.

Me neither, just pointing out that these are basically entrenched systemic issues in NZ at this point - failing at them is nothing new.

If you had actually read my comment, you would have seen that I wrote every previous government in the past few decades , and also that I'm also critical of our current government.

For me, the main problem with Facebook is the amount of content which is exclusively available on it. We homeschool our daughter and the whole homeschooling community is organised on Facebook. I'm involved in some niche exercise (handb

Is it possible to use tree-sitter to generate parsers in languages other than C? How hard would it be to modify it to create parsers in e.g. Java? Edit: sorry, I just saw that you had answered that below.

It's not just that feature, though. I wouldn't (in fact, didn't) buy a Tesla because of the whole attitude to the control system: let's put everything on a single screen in the interest of aggressive design minimalism. T

The revamped Model S and Model X still have big central touchscreens (now in a landscape orientation, rather than the previous portrait-oriented screen), but Tesla went even further by eliminating the turn-signal and gear-selector stalks.

Actually, I believe the reason was simply that the founders were living in Prague at the time they founded the company.

No country can have a sane default for “who should look after my kids if both parents die suddenly?”. That will always be a very personal decision that depends very much on your family situation.

I don't see any technical reason why Kotlin couldn't have done the same. Kotlin does do the same. I totally disagree with GP's assertion that Kotlin has no null safety. I use both Kotlin and Clojure and I find Kotlin much

Apple really nails the "it just works". I'm all-in on Apple, and I don't see that changing. And generally, the above has been my experience too. But I recently bought a wireless magic keyboard and trackpad for a standi

I know you did a lot of work in Clojure(Script) originally, and IIRC you mostly switched to Typescript. Is that correct? How many of your projects are now designed to be consumed from CLJS vs JS/TS?

New Zealand makes great Sauvignon Blanc wine, and one of the most well-known brands is Cloudy Bay. Apparently it became famous after being used as a murder weapon in a (more famous at the time) mystery novel.
