I was in Germany. This means the landscape was pedestrian friendly, bicycle friendly and I wasn't going terribly far.

When I was six months pregnant, I took my two year old to the ER via bike because his dad had our only vehicle. The kid needed stitches, having done a bit of climbing of the furniture and busted his chin open on the wood floor -- a rather all too common injury for children that age. I was told that the stitches he needed were really rather mild for such an injury. They had absolutely seen far worse.

The most dangerous place my toddler spent time was our home, where he persistently climbed the door frames and yelled for me to come catch him before he fell. He never did learn to climb down. He just counted on his young, energetic and very attentive mother to always safely catch him. (And I always did, so he was never cured of this expectation.)

I desperately wished I could find some way to remove our door frames. It would have brought my stress levels down about a thousand percent.

I am not sure I understand what you mean? You can even run 8k screens, though gaming at that resolution is quite demanding on your GPU. What is the problem with 5k?

Creating theories helps guide us towards collecting the right data. For example nobody would have checked Mercury's precession unless Einstein had suggested the theory of general relativity. That is what good science is, first you predict and then verify, not first get data and then make models to fit said data.
I personally think it depends on how we define components. ELM does not have components like Vue or ReactJs. ELM's components are just functions.

For the example described in the below article, I think channelPanel and chatPanel can be looked as components.

I also have my own experience with rejection: You used/included word Contacts in name of the app; this is a trademark of Apple. My app used word Contacts before apple renamed their AddressBook to Contacts.app on macOS. I used appeal with link to their list of trademarks.

Interesting how the author seems to think that cycling advocates have only a marginal impact on our built environment because they "ask for twigs".

I would have assumed that the lack of cycling infrastructure in cities is more influenced by the people who have power over our town councils and planners -- wealthy developers and transport lobbyists. How likely are these people to use bicycles over cars themselves?

> I appear to have kicked off a frenzy of folks eurosplaining

Ah, come on. You asked for it, didn't you? You wrote "I'm guessing it's a special magic planet with startlingly good weather year-round, without disabled people, where everyone gets to age into spry Euro-oldsters". Of course, such an extreme statement will trigger a reaction from people who actually experience every day what you claim to be impossible. It's not possible in every city and it's not possible for everybody, but it's possible in more places than we think once we accept the idea. One quarter of the Dutch population cycles every day and the number of cycling people (obviously lower than the average) over 65 is actually increasing thanks to better a infrastructure and, of course, e-bikes.

And talking about hot climates: You remember the pictures from South China in the 1970s or 1980s where everybody was cycling because cars were too expensive and public transport was bad? Now everybody has a car and nobody with a sane mind would cycle in China.
I believe that Microsoft’s interest in Google’s business predates the launch of Bing. You can replace the brand name “Bing” with “some kind of search/advertising/internet gateway” business.

Remember Microsoft used to be a very competitive outfit with a history of using their dominance of desktop OSs to enter new markets.

It’s easy to forget that Microsoft of old were able to keep bankrolling loss leaders to “cut off the oxygen”[1] of any market that they saw as threatening Windows.

I haven't read much L.A. based crime, tbh, but it's nice to see noir / pulp draw its fans in. I'm one, 100%.

My man for urban street crime is George Pelecanos. I think I've read damn near all his stuff. His prose hits all the notes to convey an era, a mood. And the plots are excellent and I like his protagonists. Most settings are Baltimore/D.C., from where he hails. Good stuff.

You can claim the MS Store is an outlier because "nobody uses it" (maybe? got numbers? it's obviously not #1, though) but other stores offer lower cuts as well. Epic made a big deal out of their lower cut (~12%) compared to the other stores and developers seem to be paying attention.

I don't get this. There were large, steadily growing cracks in supporting elements, observed and documented over multiple days. Why on earth wasn't the street closed down?

The bridge slowly and visibly announced its impending collapse, which - as I understand it - is exactly what engineers want. The thing nobody wants is a bridge like the Morandi bridge in Genua, where the signs of impending collapse were hidden under thick layers of concrete, until the structure suddenly and unexpectedly gave way.
Cyclists are already largely subsidizing drivers, because a) it's more than gas taxes and registration fees that go to roads, it's also general income taxes and local/state taxes, and b) bike infrastructure is radically cheaper than car infrastructure.

You're looking at at least an order of magnitude difference in cost, which overwhelms the difference in taxes paid. That cyclists may only be paying 50% or even 25% as much as drivers doesn't matter if the cost of bike lanes and paths is 10% of the cost of roads for cars.

Thus, it's actually drivers who are freeloading compared to cyclists.
I don't have any china-positive news per se and I don't follow them closely enough. Just pointed some feelings I have about China being all over the news these days. I do care more about stuff like Turkish offensive into Syria or continuous Yemen massacre orchestrated by Saudis.

Don't know about any Chinese external meddling like this, I guess we can call it a positive story considering these days.
But why? It takes a long time to get kids helmeted up and they don’t ride very fast. Not everyone has the leisure to ride bikes everywhere. My kids schools are 10 miles from home and 5 miles from each other. Even with a dedicated bike lane, it would still take dramatically more work to drive. Then, if it rains.. I have to worry about it rain gear for everyone. Then if one kid gets sick at school, I’m supposed to ride my bike from Cupertino to Palo Alto, pick him or her up and then ride to the doctor in Mountain View or wherever?

Or little league practice in one part of town while another kid has gymnastics in another part of town?

It’s silly that a country as huge as the United States is being compared with the tiny, flat, Netherlands. Some American neighborhoods are larger than entire Dutch towns. The Netherlands doesn’t have Texas hot and humid summers, or California terrain, or Michigan winters. And a 3-4 year old riding to day care? Just how long does it take a kid to ride a bike 5 miles vs. me driving 5 miles? It’s absurd.

I get it “let’s hate cars,” but cars are freedom. If I have to run to a CVS at 2am, a bike is the last thing I want to ride. In the event of a natural disaster or an evacuation, are people supposed to ride their bikes to escape a wildfire or a hurricane?Or wait on the city bus? People literally die if they can’t evacuate quickly — and anyone expecting public transportation to be working or effective at evacuations is delusional or living in a perfect dream world where nothing bad ever happens.

How would you sell access to the iOS market? If you're just saying 'they have full control so they can set the price', well yeah, but that doesn't automatically make it reasonable to give up most of your control and hand out 30% of your revenue in order to pick up additional customers. It seems like today in 2019 more people are deciding the customers aren't as profitable as they look.
So I don't own an ebike but I've rented an MTB ebike a short while ago and was able to comfortably do 70km while still having over 1/4 battery left. That being said, I did not have it set to the max the whole way. Mostly spent in eco mode which is more than enough
You misread my post. I agree with you completely (excepting the snide Wobegone effect comment, which I had to look up but at least I learnt something today).
It's certainly a management choice. I don't think Apple would be better served by just going out and hiring more engineers.

Brave also depends on Google as their overlord, it's just that the contribution is made in code instead of dollars. There's no evidence Brave could survive if Google changed that deal, whereas Firefox has already spent years independent from them.

I live in a 750 year old European city. The medieval center is 1 kilometer in diameter. They wanted to make the center accessible only for cars of residents and suppliers of stores (up to 11am for suppliers). There are four underground parking garages directly surrounding the center and the walking distance from a garage to any location is never more than 450 meter. Free wheelchairs are provided from the garages. This change would make the center much more liveable for residents, guests and visitors.

I have never seen a collective group of people lose their shit during the town hall meeting that much. It was like the end of the world. Apparently during the 750 years history it has become mandatory to have visitors parking right on the monumental cobblestones. Walking 450 meter, even with the free provided wheelchairs, became impossible. I wonder how people survived back in 1438 without the ability to park their car right in front of the shops.
Excellent analysis of the topic. Thank you.

California’s lettuce production alone is a 3 billion dollar industry.

Entire Ag income in Netherlands is around 3 billion dollars.

California lettuce farms have a year round growing season and we move from Salinas to Yuma in winter. We grow organic lettuce with cover cropping and crop rotation.

Glass houses are NOT more efficient than how we grow in CA. We have water shortage and a labour problem. The main problem is labour.

We need robotics to solve our problem. Not data oriented Agtech. Most of the Agtech startups are creating a new sector that didn’t exist before. They are not addressing our throbbing pain point.

Labour. Labour. Labour.

Even automation solutions needs engineers who need to draw 6 figures to work and live in the Bay Area. It’s still cheaper to hire minimum wage labour and make human beings do repetitive manual labour.

There is nothing cheaper than FREE. Sunlight is free. We don’t need energy hungry indoor automation in CA. In east coast maybe..in the frozen northlands of Canada maybe..but CA is an Ag state. We do upwards of 45 billion in Ag income every year. We need real solutions. Every Agtech company wants a piece of the 45 billion dollar pie. They are not working to make it bigger. CA farms are consumers of new tech. Without ROI.

Agtech startups need to Keep It Simple.

I like the App Store because it handles automatic updates pretty well. Then again these days with sparkle, the apps I use do update, so it's not a big advantage for Apple.

And how do I know sparkle works so well? Well whenever a dev has an app both in the store and directly downloadable from their site I choose the latter. The price is the same, the functionality is the same (or sometimes more) but the dev gets 30% more. I've never heard one suggest that I download instead of using the store so I assume Apple somehow contractually bars that.

I never use the store for discovery; duckduckgo works perfectly well.

All in all I thought the App Store would be a good idea for me as a user but in the end it didn't add much. At least I think it got rid of some of those crufty download sites.
"Agile" is only about software and it doesn't always work even for tiny projects. Apple's products are so much more than this. Distribution, marketing, manufacturing, support etc.

Frankly speaking, I'd prefer to use macOS to do software development generally these days and since I don't really need to do alot of configuring my environment thanks to its consistent user interface and it fits my development mental model. Windows + WSL2 might suffice but only for Windows development but I rarely needed to boot-up and directly use a Linux desktop these days; just only for specific open-source needs or reproducibility scenarios via SSH.

As much as setting up a dev environment on a Linux desktop sounds "superior" in the authors opinion which to some extent I agree with in some use-cases, I'm afraid, I'd pretty much side with consistency over customization as I find it very difficult to reproduce bugs found in Linux distros / environments that are heavily customized, especially GUI applications. I'd simply just want to get on with the work I have to do rather than messing around with sane defaults and then having to end up reseting or googling issues over my setup.

> Whenever I read about new features for the Windows Subsystem for Linux, I wonder why people settle for anything less than the real thing.

Perhaps Windows developers enjoy having a consistent Unix-like environment without having to install + configure everything. Plus they can enjoy running all those Windows apps anyway without doing a full blown migration to another OS.

This was a really inspiring speech. The entire speech is very valuable to read, but to give a TLDR: the new aristocracy is defined as the elite that gains their wealth through their labour rather than their assets. It's new because 50 years ago, the elite was more based on capital than their own work. It points out that you can exploit your capital without damage to yourself, but you can't exploit your own capacity to work as then you use yourself up, but that's precisely the trend as work amount expectations for elite lawyers have doubled in recent decades. The consequence of this situation is pointed out this way:

> To live in this way is, quite literally, to use oneself up. Such a life proceeds under a pervasive shadow: at its worst, it squanders the capacity to set and pursue authentically embraced, intrinsically valued, goals; even at its best, this life invites deep alienation.

With alienation they probably mean something like not seeing your parents, friends, family, etc for years. The proposed solution to this dilemma is then presented in the key paragraph:

> The new aristocracy promotes human flourishing for no one: certainly not for the excluded rest; nor even for the ensnared rich. We are trained to think of economic inequality as presenting a zero sum game: to suppose that redistribution to benefit the bottom must burden the top. But this is not such a case: reforms that democratize training and talent would benefit everybody. Such democratic reforms would restore the bulk of Americans to full participation in an economic and social order from which they have been, for several decades now, increasingly excluded. And democratic reforms invite the elite—you all—to accept an almost costless diminution in wealth and status in exchange for a massive, precious increase in leisure and liberty, a reclaiming of your authentic selves.
