Coming from a cyclists perspective, I always assumed that eBike riders were laypeople who just wanted to pay for the convenience to make the daunting task of pedaling seem like less of a deal.

It's truly tragic that bikes as a form of transport has been regulated to the domains of college kids, hipsters, fitness buffs, and enthusiasts.

< 15 miles is manageable for most people if they don't give up the first day they're sore.
even in 2015 i can only think of D, go and haskell that would work as viable alternatives.
The biggest issue with lettings warnings go is that they pile up and you start missing the important ones that point to real bugs. I have seen that happen many many times.
Comcast, the largest isp in the US, already claims to have ipv6 support in all markets since 2014. AT&T the next largest also claims full support. I would guess the majority of US residential internet users have ipv6 support from their ISP but they are just not using it because they have old modems or routers that dont support ipv6

>On 4chan, you're literally a janitor. On reddit, you're a janitor and you're also responsible for community building and everything that comes along with that. It's your community and if you don't build it, nobody will come.

That's a fair point. I was mostly addressing the comment about "barrier to entry," since the barrier to entry on 4chan is essentially nil. Without anything resembling an account history, there's a huge amount of impersonation, which makes for a challenging social dynamic.

> If you do something unpopular, you will get witch-hunted by reddit's masses

Interestingly, my janitor handle was leaked at one point, and despite it being just a few hops away from my real identity, I never experienced any harassment. I can only assume it's because I wasn't much of a target; 4chan doesn't tell you who was responsible for your ban, so only moot and a few of the more outspoken mods attracted the attention of the mob.
Tons of real credible information in peer-reviewed publications if you care to look. Plenty of in vivo studies as well. Presumably you know how much of any anthocyanin is needed to catalyze a putative reaction in the body? No, you don't. On the article itself I won't comment.
Isn't Node more of an Application server though? I don't see Node replacing Nginx in the roles it's normally used for (serving static resources, reverse-proxy). I can't think of a single upside

And at the same time, while the development team is having fun with the blame game, somebody is waiting for a build that never comes!

At least do it the right way round: developer machines build with -Werror, and build PC should build without. (Selective "promotion" to errors is a good idea on top of that.) That way, it's not the end of the world if people check something in that doesn't build cleanly, because they disabled -Werror on their local copy in order to get some debugging done without having to play whack-a-mole as they did so.

(Obviously, they're not supposed to do that. But ideally they wouldn't be doing any debugging in the first place, either. These things happen, and processes should be designed around that.)

Not all warnings are equal, and -Werror doesn't give you any discretion. You probably want to be kept abreast of unused functions, unused variables, unused parameters, int-to-bool casts, truncation of double literals, and so on - but they're poor justifications for stopping the build. You don't need to hold the build to ransom to get it to compile without warnings. All you need to do is take the warnings out.
Yep, google Chrysler Lean Burn (which made sense back when they did it, allowed to avoid catalyst for a few more years) and more egregious GM Lean Cruise (which is now not permitted in US models).
I wonder if this has anything to do with the call for a new maintainer for LuaJIT recently
It doesn't take long before you naturally write warning free code. (Which ends up making you a better coder, as well. Such a simple thing..)
Again, what Copenhagen seems to have realized – what you haven’t, yet – is that neither type of transportation solves all cases.

That’s why we need a healthy mix of cars, bikes, transit, etc. And which is why none of the mentioned European cities actually wants to ban cars – but instead use cars as supplement to a transportation system based on walking, biking and transit.

> 5-7 day battery life and always-on, e-paper-like color screen. This enables you to use Pebble as an actual watch

I'm not sure why the "always-on" aspect is an advantage. The Apple Watch display turns on when I raise my wrist to look at it. Always-on seems more like a vanity feature than actually useful. If you aren't looking at it, it serves no purpose to be on.

The battery life has never been a problem for me. I put the watch on it's charger when I get in bed, and take it off when I wake up. I don't think I've ever hit < 40% battery at the end of the day.

> Apple's strategy of building an expensive toy.

I don't believe that is the intention at all. I think Apple is trying to create a truly useful device, with a much broader scope than Pebble. Personally, the Apple Watch has been very useful for me. I would be very unhappy if I had to give it up. My Apple Watch watch feels significantly more utilitarian than my phone.

I also think you're underselling the fitness aspect. I've been much more active since I got my Apple Watch. The importance of physical activity is hard to understate.

Also, I visited my doctor recently and she was a bit worried that my pulse was high. I showed her the graph of my pulse over the last week, and she was no longer worried. In the future, when we can measure thinks like blood pressure and blood glucose, it will significantly improve people's health. That's clearly where Apple is headed.

I love Pebble as a company and I think they make a really great product. However, it's wrong to say the Apple Watch is nothing more than a toy. It's already had a decent impact on my life, and I think that impact will be exponentially larger in a few short years.

That's why they benchmarked this workload on a 4x SSD RAID configuration :). Given that i/o bandwidth and throughput continues to increase, processor frequency isn't, and core counts are going up, it's prudent to design a system that can take advantage of this.

Hmmm. That's strange because I remember from one of the books I found that Beethoven regarded requiem as an amateurish work and even Mozart's worst ever, in fact without knowing the whole story behind it. A bit extreme of course, but he was right to an extent.
Most people think 4chan is /b/, because that's where all the worst stuff happens. Imagine if reddit had an "anything legal goes" subreddit - it would be pretty messed up. Other boards can be pretty tame.

>but making biking a viable alternative

I think the (well-founded) concern is that this expenditure of political capital means mass transit may not get the attention it deserves. Public transit can be ridden by anyone; bicycles are only useful to the able-bodied.
At a rate of $1B per year, they'll be out of cash in... 300 years.
AdBlue is also used in the latest Audi ultra TDI engines. It is supposed to be refilled during normal service (every 30000 km), unfortunately it does not last that long and you have to schedule an appointment much earlier. Refilling it yourself is apparently not possible since a software reset is necessary as well.
what. the. fuck. I'm without words. I used to have tinnitus when I was a kids, but as far as I know, don't now. But my mom has Meniere's disease and that causes hearing loss and tinnitus so I was curious. I tried it myself and it is absolutely crazy. AFAICT, I've had a very low hum in my ears (usually thought of tinnitus as being high pitched) for a long , long time because after I do this, I can hear silence. it is fucking crazy.

eager to tell my mom. thank you!
Also, the idea is not to switch ALL driving to biking. That would be silly. The idea is to support and encourage biking where it makes sense. If you're doing short or medium-distance trips where you have limited cargo, biking can work very well, better than cars, both for the individual and for society at large. But only if we build our transportation infrastructure such that biking isn't dangerous.

I've never had big blocking problems like that with -Werror on all the time. You get one? Fix it and move on. When you have a large enough organization or enough different compiler versions at play, disable the specific warnings that seem to get you in trouble between compiler versions.
Thank Comcast for that
It's more than the infrastructure, especially when it comes to schools. North America has a culture of selecting a child's schools from amongst many in a wide area. Not everyone sends their kids to a school a mile down the road, nor do all of their kids attend the same school at once.

The getting hit is a problem. I don't know of any long-term riders in my city who haven't had violent confrontations with cars. There is even a movement towards fitbits not for fitness but to use as evidence after the inevitable accident, evidence of how long it takes to recover.
... like the gas used for farm equipment? Or the fossil fuels used in some fertilizers? Sure. It's a common talking point to mention "cow farts" and "cow burps" because they emit greenhouse gasses. But generally the greenhouse gasses emitted by cows are from the organic matter that they were fed.

Excluding the farm equipment and fossil-fuel-based fertilizer, cow burps form a natural closed loop. Meaning, grow corn or grass and it takes in greenhouse gasses from the soil and the air. Feed it to a cow and it releases those same greenhouse gasses.

Cows and plants by themselves are not actually contributing greenhouse gasses into the atmosphere in a manner that contributes to global warming. Meaning, if you're worried about cow burps or humans breathing... stop worrying about it. And if you're pointing out that animals emit greenhouse gasses... cool, but that is irrelevant to a rational discussion of emissions that lead to climate change.

For agriculture, the system becomes imbalanced when you add in the emissions of the industrial farm equipment and the shipping infrastructure to getting food from the farm to the the table. But that imbalance is what we're trying to address when we talk about transitioning to more fuel efficient vehicles or more sustainable farming practices (like not using fossil fuels in fertilizer).

So, mentioning agriculture as a polluter is typically a red herring. At first blush it seems reasonable because there are a lot of farm animals that emit greenhouse gasses. However, including agriculture in a discussion of emissions is usually disingenuous or misinformed.

Does that mean we should blame the finance industry for also not cleaning up the indigent? Because I'm on board with that.

I've seen what happens to people who advocate for things like more housing in SF. Do I need to be personally crucified in the media in order to be allowed suggest that there are major problems? Is it the Bystander Effect to note that a lot of people are trying all the things that are supposed to work and they're collectively accomplishing fuck-all? And that maybe throwing more time and effort and money into what's not working may not be wise?

But nevermind that. What do you think I should do? If you answer is to get involved in (local politics|my neighborhood group|planning board|whatever), then at what point am I allowed to give up in frustration at no problems being solved?

Right now I'd love for there to be some course of action that doesn't have a lot of precedent as a monstrous waste of time. I'll settle for being allowed to say that something isn't working.
There is, however, a long article about Marx, and articles about other Marxists. So I don't think your complaint about "embarrassing" subjects is accurate.
I haven't had the opportunity to ride one myself, but my understanding is that they're steadily getting better on that front. Mid-drive improves balance, for example: https://www.electricbike.com/mid-drive-kits/

And if the infrastructure is good enough, a lot of people will deal with some clumsiness. Lots of people in Denmark and the Netherlands use bike trailers or cargo bikes, and having had a chance to use them, believe me, those are DEFINITELY clumsy.

He's just saying that he prefers to configure his reverse proxy in Javascript, or some other mainstream language than in the Nginx configuration language.

I can see where he's coming from. But I still slightly disagree with the feeling.
Could it just be the increased prices publishers forced on Amazon/ebooks? If a hardcover books costs the same as the ebook, I am also tempted to buy the hardcover.

The thinking is that I can sell it once i have read it, but I tend to forget about the hassles associated with physical stuff. The ebook would still be the better choice for me, but human psyche is too easily fooled.

Anyway, I expect that to be just a temporary "victory" for hardcover books.

I also seem to remember William Gibson tweet that the losses in ebook sales are mainly in young readers who can't afford the pricier versions, but I have no source for that.

So maybe both ebook and hardcover will simply lose out to YouTube.

Here's the tail end, I think it's relevant:

The Internet is a perfect reflection of the world at large. It
has everything in it except homeless people and that's only
because they can't afford the monthly hookup charge.

The Internet is scary to people because it TRULY makes everyone
equal.

All the people who are invisible in the normal world (the world
run by the rich and powerful), all those people you can dismiss
on the street as powerless and harmless -- ALL THOSE PEOPLE are
now in your face.

You can feel their hot breath on the Internet.

It's called "humanity."

America was invented to empower those people. It's just taken
this long to find out how to do it.

After all, the Net is just telephone lines, computer screens and
satellite hook-ups. It's purely technical.

Its only purpose is to bring the real world into focus. Anyone
who opposes that should go back and read the Declaration of
Independence.

I don't visit 4chan but I believe there's definitely value to seeing people anonymously post their thoughts. Whether they're saying something true or whether they're just trying to get a reaction, to get a look at what people will say when they're totally unhindered by any social norms or repercussions is very interesting. The thoughts that people are normally afraid to share are usually wrong, but sometimes people are afraid to share ideas that are right, as well.

Is it really that complicated to claim a couple hundred dollars in miscellaneous income on your taxes? (At least here in Canada it would be a non-issue.) I'm sure applicants are welcome to turn down the pay if they feel it will be an issue for whatever reason (including current employment contract), but I can't see how that part is a negative. Certainly calling it ridiculous doesn't seem productive. I do agree that the potential of blowing your weekend is an issue that should be addressed.

What law would they be breaking? Criminal law? Contract law? Even if it were technically a crime to tell something to the federal government, I can't imagine the government would actually prosecute you for doing it (why would they act against their own interests?) And, if a term of a contract prevents you from providing the government with evidence of a crime, surely that contract term is void as contrary to public policy. And any state or local law which purports to prohibit revealing information to the federal government is surely to that extent unconstitutional.

It does beat it. Those walls are full of people. Those people shop. That means there's more demand for nearby destinations. Walking in places where there's stuff nearby is better: it's more interesting, and you'll have a shorter walk to your destination since it's more likely to be close. Spreading people out—even with parks—is a negative. Parks belong in the middle of people, not surrounding them.

I used to worry about the dad thing (well handing books to my son, to be more precise). However - I don't read that many books from my own dad, so maybe my son won't be bothered that much. Also, many books will be in the public domain by the time he might want to read them. Or there will be subscription models where he can just read them for free. Or, I would just have to buy it for him a second time, again, realistically speaking it won't be that many books anyway.

How many books do you own, and how often have you moved? Both numbers tend to increase with age, and usually don't increase the love for paper books.
