I blame my dad as he was also left handed and moused left handed. I'm currently trying to figure out how to build my own keyboard and remove space around the arrow keys to solve the keyboard issue.

I'm at the point where hotkeying isn't a huge issue. The only one that really bothers me is copy paste, but I'm slowly learning to use shift + insert, ctrl + insert, and shift + delete
I'm not sure the simplistic model would work that well. In part, because it creates a massively difficult bootstrapping problem. Is also a fairly ugly negative reinforcement mechanism.

Consider, in no way can you fund the creation of a new road with such a toll. Since tolls, by definition, only apply to usage of existing ones.

More, what happens when an unforeseen natural disaster hits? Suddenly toll costs sky rocket because the road was expensive to repair. Of course, at that point, you are back to the bootstrapping problem. If it raises tolls such that it is expensive to repair, how do you fund the removal when people stop using it?

So, yes, I agree pricing the externalities into the system are a good idea. But like most good ideas, it is also very very very easy to get wrong. To disastrous results.

This is one of those scaling vs. switching cost problems. If you have a small town, then cars are a better option than transit. In a large metropolis, transit is better. The problem is that as a city scales up, each individual step results in continually adding infrastructure for cars without ever making the active decision to switch, and redesign the entire city.

When a small town grows into a medium, it makes sense to add car infrastructure rather than rebuild everything. Again when you grow from medium to large it remains cheaper to add that new interchange rather than change the fundamental structure of the city. Growing from large city to metropolis often means incorporating other cities and their car based infrastructure, and making a coordinated move to anything else is extremely difficult/expensive.

Edit: I doubt we could properly identify the "next big metropolis" early enough to put the proper infrastructure in place. Even if we could, the politics surrounding who gets the infrastructure spending would cloud the process. Neither do I think we could simply set up a new metropolis some where and "build it correctly from the start".

The best bet is to find a means of bootstrapping the conversion of existing metropolises to walkable/dense/transit oriented methods. How do we mortgage the immense future benefits to apply pressure to make changes now? Is there an achievable half step toward the goal that provides enough benefit to drive the rest of the conversion? When I'm confronted with a switching cost vs scaling cost problem in operations, I would be putting in dual use infrastructure. Maintain compatibility while removing dependency.
>It's not ableist to allow people who'd prefer not to drive to bike or walk instead, and it's also not ableist to build our cities to allow these different modes of transport in addition to cars.

Well it doesn't have to be but it certainly can be. Like that GP comment up there ^^^ said, making walkable spaces that require foot travel can certainly be ableist to those who can't do that.

I mean I could rephrase your comment in a way to say "it's not ableist to allow people who'd like to use the stairs to use the stairs and it's not ableist to build our cities to allow stairs" - except if what I mean by that is that I want the city to build places where stairs are the only option then yes, it is ableist. And if what I mean by "walkable" is that I want the city to build areas where walking is the only option then it's the same deal.

>Framing it like it's ableist ignores the near century of subsidies and prioitization of the automobile in the US.

No it doesn't. Those subsidies have nothing to do with what is being discussed. It's a completely separate issue.

>The fact is that us able-bodied people need spaces that we can enjoy too.

...

Lol, just reread what you said.

>We need to find a way to inhabit the same space without inhibiting each other.

By which you mean you would rather the able-bodied not be inhibited by having to accommodate the non-able-bodied?

What is not explicit about that statement? The evaluation of the variable is well defined in a Boolean context.

I'm trying DRF now (last project in Golang) and one point I have no idea which way to go is how to deliver updates to the mobile client (avoiding polling every N seconds).

I'm not sure I want to try Django channels, which comes with its own spec (ASGI?) and possibly changes the entire way the Django application is run[1].

Should I go with Django channels or - my alternative idea - deploy a separate Golang server only for "real time updates" ?
Then I can send updates by simply POSTing from Django to Golang, which forwards the update to the mobile client.

@isakkeyten I would look at a 'crossing' between a functional programming language, and a multi-platform OS GUI toolkit.

Because significant portion of your learning/cognitive effort you will be spending on understanding the UI paradigms offered by a given GUI toolkit.

Accesibility is important, but for decades, urban centers were sacrificed to benefit suburban, car-dependent sprawl. Even now, much urban development is burdened by mandated parking requirements. But where space is at a premium and traffic congestion is already a nightmare, why encourage more cars? Private cars don't have to be the only option (here in Boston, the MBTA has services for the disables, and apparently Uber and Lyft are making a little progress in this area).
From the article:

I imagine all of the non-toy ones would support joins for getting raw tabular data or for restricting what single kind of item (e.g. "Customer") you're pulling out.

Where it might get trickier is when you have something like a Customer-Region-Vendor join, and you actually want it to go ahead and create objects for the all of the Customers and Regions and Vendors whose data was pulled out of that one select.
If you can get the able-bodied out of their cars, then there's more room for those that really need a car. I only take my car when it's not practical to walk or ride my bicycle. And probably 80% of the time I'm in my car, I could easily be on my bicycle but there's no safe way to get where I'm going.

It's also a myth that disability automatically equals driving. I have a friend with impaired vision who can't drive but can ride a bicycle. I would like for him to be able to do that as safely as possible.

But that said... writing native SQL queries wastes a month? Um, no. ORMs are convenient, but writing select, insert, update, and delete queries by hand isn't that hard. It's mildly verbose and you end up repeating yourself lots so it's annoying, particularly if you (like me) have the kind of programmer's mind that constantly wants to factor that out. But it's doable without adding a high factor to development time.
The EU court sets binding precedents across the Union, but the law is still enforced at a national level and discrepancies can arise and take time to be cleared up.

It's my understanding that you can use Django's Form classes to replicate any POST/UPDATE/DELETE operations you'd like to use DRF for. I'm not sure what else DRF gets you besides more API-like auth - for example I don't know how well Django would support token-based auth out-of-the-box as compared to DRF.
If you shop at Home Depot or Lowes the only cut you'll find are from flat sawn logs.[1] Even at lumber yards most will be cut this way.

Because I don't have a planer, and don't want to spend megabucks on furniture-grade hardwood for my learner projects, I have to spend a considerable amount of time picking through pieces, whether dimensional construction lumber or squared project pieces, checking the grain to find those pieces cut near the middle, but not directly through the core. And then of course checking that it's not otherwise too warped or twisted. See

https://wortheffort.com/wordpress/archives/142

I think the only places you'll find lumber cut using those other patterns are lumber yards selling high quality lumber for furniture or architectural pieces, often sourcing from boutique mills. Or places selling reclaimed lumber from the days when lumber was harvested from old growth forests and it was cost effective to setup a large mill using different patterns. The trees from modern farms don't get big enough to use the other patterns; at scale the only cost effective method is flat sawn and letting downstream purchasers sort through the mess.

[1] The exception may be the poplar and oak project boards, but they're so expensive at the big box stores I don't even bother looking. I think poplar is pretty stable so they're probably flat sawn, too.
There have certainly been some serious stability bugs lately, but we’re also working on fixing them. Please file bugs!

Versioning/Configuration in industry that has automated some aspect of their build process to include external dependencies leads to label accumulation (I'm intuiting that this is greater than exponential growth - assuming there exist dependencies for a system A that are dependent on other dependencies that system A is dependent on).

The problem is you can't document everything while also trying to automate everything. It's always a balance of figuring out which information is most important, and if 'oneself' were to attempt to construct a model that represents everything, 'oneself' would simply be stuck in a catatonic state of analysis paralysis, in perpetuity and invariably, until the heat death of the universe.

Yes, the onus is on the user, but who is the 'user' in the industry of development? How do you maintain structure in records for information systems that are fundamentally, at core, completely opened%? I believe this problem maps back to the science of collecting and verifying the veracity of information, up to isomorphism (quite literally, this is the definition of the graph isomorphism problem).

% The intrinsic nature of science and discovery is 'we discover new things because we assume there is more to know (~ we don't know everything)'. Therefore, all components of such a system are subject to change. There is nothing that can be said to be permanent in knowledge discovery systems where the premise of discovery rests on 'assertions' that can not be provably demonstrated to be factual AND absolute.
> Do you foresee an enlargement in the total number of speakers? Why?

In total number of speakers, it's possible, and I think it's been the case historically (just by general population growth). In relative numbers (fraction of the population), it's been shrinking and I don't see this changing. Main reasons are that:

a) as mentioned in the BBC article, people move, and it's very difficult to keep the language after one or two generations if you don't live in that region,
b) even if you were to move to a Romansh-speaking area (as a Swiss national or as an immigrant), the incentive to learn is low because almost everyone also speaks (Swiss-)German.

I would say start with Scratch (https://scratch.mit.edu/)

I have tried to teach my kids "programming" but it isn't until they are invested for their own reasons that they really care to learn this stuff. We let my oldest just look around at projects on scratch so he could find things HE was interested in (minecraft, gravity falls, etc) and then he was interested enough to start copying and manipulating projects (we didn't even show him how to do it, he just figured it out). Now he has posted his own first project and had the unique feeling of "shipping" something. I think that "shipping" feeling is the quick feedback kids need to get and stay engaged.

Well it’s like that by accident in 3.6 because cpython36 does it this way and no other implementation exists. In 3.7 it’s officially a part of the spec thus required by all Python 3.7 compatible implementations and not just cpython.
TOP500 doesn't include distributed systems. Essentially, every computer on TOP500 is a single computer than you can log onto. By contrast, Google's data warehouse would qualify as a large cluster of individual systems.

Note that not all supercomputers are on TOP500. Blue Waters is perhaps the most notable one to not bother reporting its performance (it would probably have been #1 had it done so when it came out, and today it would fall around 13th or so).
I imagine a good part of that is because he led a brigade of followers that would go out and harass other users.

> what if doctors, shopping and other places are spread over miles?

The article imagines "building cities for people, not for cars." That implies re-imagining the suburban model of doctors, shops, et cetera being spread across miles. My Manhattan city block, for example, features an allergist, several restaurants, a grocery store, a book store, a daycare, a coffee shop and--in all likelihood--half a dozen other things I have yet to notice.
On the other hand, not depending on cars helps a lot of disabled people. Busses and subways are generally made taking into account wheelchair use, plus visually impaired people can use transit systems where the stops are called out.
Thoughts in no particular order:

2. Find a way to integrate with Stripe! They've already done all the AML/KYC stuff, and they also have plenty of information about my revenue. For that matter, why have money bounce via a bank account -- find a way for me to have the money I receive via Stripe pay off the Brex card first.

3. Seconding the request to support people outside of the USA. My company does its banking via a US bank account but both I and my company are based in Canada.
If we actually billed those that actually caused road damage appropriately, then no it would not cost $5 to drive 30min to work. Semis are incredibly damaging to roads, they cause 1,400x more wear than cars! [1] — The very same semis city dwellers and anybody who buys anything relies on.

Cars currently subsidize other, much more damaging vehicles' road damage, seeing as they're not paying 1,400x more in fuel tax.

Anyway, the problem isn't transportation, it is the absurd zoning laws throughout the U.S. that force people to rely on personal cars to go anywhere.
