The problem is that pedestrians treat those trails like sidewalks and cyclists treat it like a road. Mutual yielding (where two pedestrians approach each other on a sidewalk) works perfectly fine at walking speed. It doesn't work at v

> One interesting way of reducing doorings is to teach drivers and passengers the Dutch reach. That really doesn't work. First, a cyclist is moving at least 15 feet per second, which is the average length of a passenger vehicle, so

Doorings can be prevented by riding far enough away from parked vehicles (at least 6 feet away).

A similar thing happened to learnyouahaskell late last year and it was also down for a while (a few weeks IIRC). Fortunately, it's back up now.

The closest thing we had (have) to online free speech was (is) Usenet. But distributors of child porn along with Andrew Cuomo (when he was the New York state attorney general) making a deal with a number of major ISPs resulted in most ISPs

IIRC, you could only utilize ECP mode with a laplink brand cable (which would give you the faster transfer rate). Otherwise, you had to use EPP. I used the latter with a regular parallel cable with an adaptor I soldered with a certain pin t

But the outbound block would prevent the relay from sending any mail over port 25, so there's no real point to block inbound connections.

It's still possible to e-file your federal taxes for free with Free Fillable Forms[1]. They also had State Fillable Forms that allowed one to e-file their state taxes the same way. Unfortunately, they discontinued the state one this

I don't know of any, but the key thing to know is how to edit diffs manually. If you've ever run git add or reset with the -p parameter, you may have noticed an option where you can manually edit a diff hunk. If you choose that

I actually use the git cli by filtering text to various command std input using vim. So, for staging diffs, I'll read the output of git diff, and hand edit the diff as needed, and stage individual hunks by filtering the text through t
