> Alcohol is also a factor on the pedestrian side Absolutely true, but what are you proposing? I’d propose banning most vehicles from city centers where people congregate. Vehicle size and weight will always be a relevant factor as long

You can discuss peoples’ own failures with them politely and professionally. To avoid and talk around the issue is political, not professional.

I agree but I don’t think that was the point, or I’ve misunderstood the statement about the tension between those other two statements.

The first ones shown are quite neat and pleasant. The "accidental" ones pretty quickly gave me motion sickness as I scrolled through them. They also weren't nearly as interesting, though I couldn't look at them for very

At the same time no tick that I’ve ever removed from a person survived, even without testing it for anything. I don’t think anyone removes a tick and sets it on its merry way.

It’s a perfectly reasonable position, though that may be because I share it. If you’ve “written” something with AI, I have idea if you even read it, thus I have no idea if it even really reflects your thoughts. And I don’t care what a compu

Never heard of that principle. I have heard people say that if an open source project was doing something nefarious it would be easier for someone to discover it.

I can’t say how it compares to others, but Godot added screen reader support in 4.5 a year or so ago.

It’s true in the sense that scientific exploration expands our understanding of the world, which often forces us to re-evaluate our beliefs and adopt new ones, something that is antithetical to small C conservatism, almost by definition. So

It’s still there in libraries and bookstores, and even online. It’s not going anywhere. My son enjoys reading the collection I had when I was young.
