I'd argue the competition is already here: e-bikes. Regulation and safety concerns mean motorcycles will always be niche.

99% of zoning is just class-based segregation.

No, but I think it’s because e-bikes have only come into widespread use in the last decade. It takes decades to build high quality infrastructure and those countries are the ones that could make bikes work for the general population before

Are you a time traveler from 2010 who's never heard of e-bikes?

Really: add a zero to your price. These companies burn millions on procurement bureaucracy. Make them pay for your misery.

He's stepping down as CEO. He'll still contribute. Most gifted technical people are not strong organizational leaders so it's mature to recognize your own limits and find someone else who can fill that role.

More than anything, reading this review acts as an ad for the Mac Mini M4. $600, with performance and efficiency well beyond the other options.

It's interesting to note that this doesn't actually discuss any funding details. Who, how much, when, how? The devil is always in the details.

There’s no area in the world that allows e-bikes with more than 750w motors. A 3kw motor is illegal (cf Surron), unless you are talking about an e-moped requiring registration.

You build bigger lanes. Paris and London are quickly learning this lesson.

Seems weird not to use Redis as the buffering layer + minutely cron job. Seems a lot simpler than installing Kafka + Vector.

Did they ever explain why netlink was involved? Or was that a red herring?

The frame pointer was updated non-atomically in two asm ops. An async interruption between the two ops would lead to a corrupt frame pointer.

Well maintained? Rubygems has had no commits in the last 10 days and that's not a good sign. I don't think you can find a window with no commits for 10 days in its 15+ year history. History has shown over and over that when a for-

The eventual rate paid by Ruby Together settled on $150/hr and has remained that amount for the last decade. Justin’s data is far out of date.

Correct. Thank you for the kind words. If you want to support me, support Sidekiq and Faktory.

I will point out that our labor data can no longer be trusted as the organization is no longer politically neutral. Pushing the jobs record down means more blame for Biden and a much lower bar for Trump to meet in order to "improve&quo

> a boom in solar that saw the country [China] add 92 gigawatts of capacity—that’s 92 billion watts—in a single month in May, compared to all-time U.S. installations of 134 GW. That's an insane stat. China added 92GW of solar in May

I guess you speak for everyone? I very much do look very negatively on Microsoft as a collaborator with modern fascist regimes, along with Meta, Palantir, X, etc.

One could mostly ignore Bitcoin. AI usage and its network effects are much more widespread and often place additional work on me, even if I choose not to use AI directly. Incorrect issues or pull requests, unmaintainable heaps of code, etc.
