So the ) is the delimiter between the list counter and the item text, but the counter itself has meaning (indicating order/priority/importance) so I'd never consider that part of the delimiter.

ChatGPT itself doesn't bother staying up-to-date - I wonder at what point they'll give it real-time internet access...

Indeed the perfect language/tech stack would be immensely popular and never have any SO questions, as everything would be obvious and easy to figure out without help...

I'd even question whether a function whose job it is to "find" something should be able to return a Nullable value - or at least, it shouldn't be possible to just force such a value to be treated as an actual value (as i

You could reasonably argue that having languages make floating point arithmetic appear superficially similar to integer arithmetic despite key differences (inability to store exact results of various operations etc.) could qualify as such.

Can't say I detect a difference. Might be an Aus-E thing: https://youglish.com/pronounce/rose/english/aus https://youglish.com/pronounce/tone/english/aus But I would have

I'm curious, I use the same "o" sound for "rose" and "tone", do many native English speakers not? But "not" has a different o sound. As does "ton" and "curious" and "book

Surely the opposite effect must also exist - that the historical buildings we see today are the ones that survived because they were considered worth keeping - you wouldn't expect the ugly/shoddily-built ones to survive. However g

Much of Alsace too, e.g. Colmar: https://upload.travelawaits.com/ta/uploads/2021/04/fcaa4d555... I'd agree they do sort of "clash", but I'd take that over this any day: https:/&

Technically "if it's pronounced as though starting with a vowel", so "an hour" or "an X-ray" but "a utility". For some acronyms both are possible: a/an FAQ.

I'd agree it's possible to have a neighbourhood where most of houses aren't especially beautiful but the general layout, and in particular the placement and extent of greenery can lend a sense of overall beauty - I'd eve

Which is mentioned in the article, but notes that's been recently overwhelmed by particulates from wildfires etc.

ChatGPT is many things but never for a moment have I suspected it might be some sort of virtual mechanical turk. It's good at things humans aren't great at, and not particularly good at many things that most humans do well. OTOH I

If, like me, you didn't see the word "marriage" (it was truncated in the subject), that becomes less of a challenge...

Aren't they based on the same underlying OpenAI technology?

Anyone else having issues with errors and "please slow down" responses recently (as mentioned in the article - currently the only answer I can get is "Too many requests, please slow down")? Not surprised that it's g

And I agree that MHL laws should be more flexible, and not just a blanket "you must wear a helmet at all times while on a bicycle" statement, which is what it is in Australia.

Some do, sure. But thankfully at least where I live governments (both state and local-level) have seen the benefits of improving cycling infrastructure and are continuing to do so. A good many car drivers are quite happy to not have to shar

It might be conceivable that more people hurt their heads on a per-km basis walking than cycling, but I'd be extremely surprised that for the same individual, walking (or driving) a given distance would be more likely to result in a se

Politicians have access to the studies showing that such infrastructure when built has the desired effect, and studies showing that the number one reason people don't cycle more is that they feel unsafe riding among traffic, regardless

by wizofaus 4y ago
Absolutely, I certainly don't wish to see more people driving cars! But for any individual, if safety is your primary concern and you're deciding between a car and a bicycle, you'd choose the former.

Logically you should be able to tell if a candidate is technically competent from their resume and referees. But it's blatantly clear that different companies have very different standards around what's considered a "competen

Building out better infrastructure is usually the most effective way to increase the number of people cycling (and to make it safer for those already doing so).

It's still completely relevant to MHL.

Which just by itself would help reduce the total number of injuries, as the unfortunate reality is almost every other form of transport is less likely to result in hits to the head. So you then have to balance that against the downsides of

"Less prevalent" seems unlikely, from the large number of accidents I'm aware of among myself and peers, maybe 25% have involved motor vehicles? Sure, they tend to be the more serious ones, but certainly if you do any sort of

But that problem can be addressed in other ways - primarily better infrastructure (though I'd like to see better driver education too, e.g. as per the Netherlands where drivers are encouraged to open doors while parked in a manner th
