Hah, this actually works - bookmark payed off! There is one large grocery store near me as well as two higher-end ones. The higher-end ones banned in-store bicycles last year. The large chain store banned them just recently. The area has a lot of car/bicycle thefts and unfortunately the only bike rack near the large one is 30 feet over the property line. Now I no longer have to play a river-crossing puzzle to bag my groceries. As a matter of protest I will be leaving the locked cart near the bicycle rack (but also because an unattended bicycle full of yummy food is begging disaster).

You have to be about 6 inches away for it two work. There are two locks that operate in tandem but sometimes you have to play the tone for both. Also the property line is in the middle of a lane, so a mild safety hazard.

Yeah, [autocomplete: I totally agree]

it's so [great to have auto-complete]

annoying to constantly [have to type]

have tons of text dumped into your text area. Sometimes it looks plausibly right, but with subtle little issues. And you have to carefully analyze whatever it output for correctness (like constant code review).

Taxes aren't theft. But there's an enormous difference between paying for things like law enforcement and public sanitation versus subsidizing housing in desirable areas for politically favored groups. And if we want certain people to be able to live in certain places then it would be more efficient to both give them cash handouts and remove restrictions on new construction instead of artificially distorting the housing market.

Of course it is. Phone makers could make so that you have to jump through several hoops to get to the "side loading" portion as a compromise. Instead Android is going down the Samsung and iPhone route to cripple the device into making it nearly impossible to root by a mere mortal curious person. Allowing a hard to get to side load switch fixes 99.9% of the issue and still allows for freedom. Google is actively choosing here to do the walled garden like Apple iPhone for profit

Nobody from C++ reached out to me for the modules.

Herb Sutter, Andrei Alexandrescu and myself once submitted an official proposal for "static if" for C++, based on the huge success it has had in D. We received a vehement rejection. It demotivated me from submitting further proposals. ("static if" replaces the C preprocessor #if/#ifdef/#ifndef constructions.)

C++ has gone on to adopt many features of D, but usually with modifications that make them less useful.
