I think one clear tradeoff that Kotlin - arguably intentionally - makes, is that it's harder to work with than other languages without the use of an IDE. It is after all made by an IDE developer. It's also quite a bit more liberal

Cool stuff! The use of infix functions reads a bit weird to me. If I were to design an API like this in Kotlin, I think I would have gone for regular extensions for many cases and perhaps extension properties, think as such: val fiveB

I generally prefer a well-designed roundabout when either cycling or walking, but I see how they can be non-ideal when done improperly.

The point you seem to be missing is that some work is quite simply not parallelizable, which is what people try to convey when talking about multiple women not being able to give birth to a single baby in less than 9 months. You can staff u

This is good, but I wouldn't classify it as surprising - urbanist advocates have been going on about this for years and years. Remove the dangerous and unpleasant elements from the streetscape (cars) and active transportation flourishe

That's part of the problem.

For a country so profoundly claiming to be in favour of free market economics, the U.S sure does love its system of socialism for motor vehicles.

Agreed. Just do something like charge 10 cents for it and waive the fee for anyone with a disability, that should kill most of the waste.

To account for how road wear scales in relation to vehicle weight.

I highly doubt that the source of cyclists being killed is to any significant fraction from them running red lights. Feel free to provide a factual basis for the claim.

I consider this document to be the golden standard for reviews, for both parties involved: https://github.com/google/eng-practices/blob/master/review%2...

Gross weight cubed, of course.

It's extremely poor form to victim blame cyclists. Cars are the killers in the equation, and cars are the problem.

That's interesting. Looking at the second link, it seems they implement it by having the buses pause at certain points. Does it do that with riders onboard? That seems like it could be a deterioration in experience for those riders tha

Hasn't the use of behaviourless value objects (essentially structs) been commonplace in both the JVM and the related .NET-world for the better part of a decade now, maybe more?

This is not the sort of thing you should measure on an individual user experience basis. Try running the numbers for the system, it would essentially get beaten by a medium-sized bus in capacity and times, at a fraction of the cost. Not to

I wouldn't bring up the Las Vegas network if you're trying to advocate for the boring company, it's quite possibly the worst system of transportation that's ever been created. A farce in every aspect, benefiting no one.

As a counterpoint, Sweden has elections on a fixed schedule as well, and electioneering is still essentially contained to a month before the election proper.

It's on the rise, yeah. It's not just France. The UK may have just managed to get a majority, but that's a peculiarity of their electoral system. As a fraction of the votes, their far right gained a larger share than in previ

There's also the constitutional monarchy-model we have here in Sweden, where the head of state is fully ornamental, with no power to speak of.

I don't think I've ever heard someone argue that the 85th percentile rule is actually a good invention - it's a disaster that codifies the behaviour of speeding drivers. I agree that merely lowering speeds without changing th

I guess this would defeat DNS-based blocking approaches, but more sophisticated tools like uBlock can still cope with it, albeit requiring larger blocklists.

Agreed. Negligence bordering on criminal all the way up the management chain. The fact that they blamed the author is telling about the culture as well.

To put this into context, the player element might load 1.3 mb but loading a video can easily be in the range of 50 mb.

History will not look kindly upon the treachery of Kathy Hochul. It'll be interesting to see how long it takes for her little stunt to be rightfully shot down - she doesn't have the authority to stop this policy. Justice would be

The ongoing transit expansions in Stockholm were green-lit on condition that the municipalities getting increased transit access would invest in building housing in the vicinity of that transit. You can definitely predict what will attract

Re-frame the question "I have to re-learn something" vs "I can just keep on doing what I am doing today", and I think you're pretty close to the answer.

Business opposition is completely irrelevant on account of businesses having been proved wrong time after time on the impacts of adding bike lanes/removing parking/etc on their streets. Consistently incorrect.
