Partially. My local trail bans e-bikes and off-leash dogs, but I still run into both on a regular basis.

Occasionally there will be someone waiting at the trailhead writing tickets to people who come off the trail with an e-bike or an off-leash dog. This seems to work as word spreads through Facebook groups and people stay away. Also generates some decent revenue when someone can write tickets for an hour and hand out a couple thousand dollars in fines for blatant violations (they stand right next to the very clear signage at the trailhead)
What about something like

while inotifywait --event modify,move_self,delete_self script.awk; do awk -f script.awk input.txt; done

in a tmux pane on the right with vim/emacs/whatever on the left?

Note: You need to watch the move_self and delete_self events, since editors might use some file move/deletion dance instead of a direct modify to help prevent data loss in the event of a crash.
I think you are describing a different phenomenon: Large sedans getting replaced by other vehicle types leaving smaller sedans. The case of the caprice seems to be a totally different vehicle if I am understanding the years you have in mind correctly. Certainly the newer models of caprice are targeting a very different audience than the old ones did.
You are right about this.

This article does a much better job of exploring friction drives on bikes.

I hadn't used Word/Excel for many years, and was f*cking appalled to discover that they have TWO levels of menus now.

This comes from generations of PMs and engineers who need to add features to justify their existence. No one has any incentive to keep things simple.
A MVP is just something that disproves the weakest assumption on your list.

If you're trying to prove a value proposition, I find that a survey works better than a landing page. PowerPoint decks work too. You can do something similar without being deceptive. Or you can just go to a subreddit of your target market and see what's popular or what people are complaining about.

This makes me wonder, why don't they produce semiconductors themselves instead of selling the machines to produce them?
Guilt isn't necessary. After all, there's no better time to give it a try than the present!

I find it productive even if I don't have a specific problem in mind. I find something almost indulgent about letting my mind wander over whatever work/personal/curiosity topics pop up.

Subjective, of course. To some, "hacker" means someone with deep knowledge, almost on instinctive level, of computing things, a native for processes, data and signals. Not negative.
I'm not sure how one could end up trusting such organizations besides "just taking their word for it".. also this system sounds more flawed than what you could do with cryptocurrencies?
The biggest time sink of dev time is scrum.

Next is bullshit political meetings that engineers are forced to have to remove people blockers. I have no idea what managers are useful for if they can't handle people issues.

Next is nonsense nitpicks on PRs and design docs. If manager has a peculiar OCD about something, don't waste dev time on that. Work on your own OCD.

Yes, and two possibilities came to mind for doing the battery differently.

A TSA-compatible 99 Wh power brick or two, suitable for checked and carry on, providing limited duration and assistance, but being at hand.

And a COTS "portable power station"[1], which can be ground shipped to meet you at your destination, from home, or from a store.

The ideas are to optimize the bike for shipping by removing any trace of the battery from it. And to optimize the battery for shipping and availability by going generic.

EDIT: Another comment[2] observes the battery in the post is available from Home Depot, so that might suffice for COTS generic availability. So an airline story might reduce to: leave the battery at home; attach the conversion with velcro instead of zip ties (or bring snips and a bag of ties); unbolt and remove the conversion before check in, and bag it separately from the bike; get a new battery at the destination, by visiting or shipping from Home Depot; and put the conversion back together.

Yeah, it's a very fuzzy definitions. By HN/Reddit well to do urbanite standards I've probably "almost" been hit dozens of times. By 1970s construction site standards I've probably never had a truly close call.

Nearly 100% of my close calls have been the result of miscommunicated intentions between me and drivers and none of them have been very close. I generally prefer drivers treat me as invisible and do their thing and I time my moves to not interfere with any of that so inattentive drivers don't increase the threat much for me.

Wouldn't the ideal be if the school system stayed largely apolitical.

Public schools having to avoid topics such as this. Private being free to teach what ever they want?

The problem I see is that this puts parents at odds with their children. If the parents are conservative should the schools challenge that? Or if the parents are liberal should the schools challenge that?

It becomes difficult becomes some academic topics can't be separated from politics.

I have two dozen patents to my name and know dozens of others who hold as many or more than I do. I also know just as many successful entrepreneurs.

Not one had ever said "I would commercialize <x>, but for the patents", nor have any said "I would stop doing innovation if patents ceased to exist".

I concede that there are some field where it might make sense (eg pharmacology), but most of the time, patents are a tax -- hugely expensive for small innovators and weaponized by mega-corps.

Further, in times of crisis (eg COVID or war with radar), patents are suspended for certain topics to promote speed of execution. We are at that point for climate change & energy efficiency.

Below $600 to an individual, the IRS does not care. I have a small sites running Google ads that got me something like $200 last year.

My first job out of college was in an office with a cubicle space floor. After a few weeks, I'd often pace around in a small space outside the main entrance when I'm thinking about a problem at work. People would ask if I'm ok. After ~3 months, I couldn't do any work in that office, so I quit.

I don't know if I have ADHD or not, but whenever I'm stuck at a coding problem or any sort of a creative problem (I do product design work as well), I have to walk. Otherwise I feel claustrophobic or about to have a panic attack. At the very least, I feel very agitated and have shortness of breath.

I'm coming to accept this about myself and after reading this article, I'll embrace walking as a mode for thinking and clearing my head more.
Road damage follows a power-log rule based on vehicle mass/volume. The vast majority of road damage is caused by the largest of vehicles. A Nissan Leaf driven daily as a commuter car and an occasionally-driven F-150 both cause relatively little wear-and-tear on the road.

But, the few times the F-150 is driven, its mass is substantially more likely to cause road damage than the Leaf. [1]

Connecticut. To be fair the most common issues I have are where the bottom of driveways meets the road, and also going over manhole covers during road milling. In the latter case you can obviously also just go around them, but it's much safer if you can just drive over them rather than swerving erratically between lanes.

You can ask your doctor to simply be vague and affirm that you have a clinically significant problem which requires accommodation. There is no reason to get into the details, except with respect to the ways you're asking to be accommodated.

Similarly, if you were attending a public institution, it makes sense that if you're seeking special accommodation then you'd at least have to disclose how you want to be accommodated. It does not mean you have to disclose you have IBS.

What we might debate is whether 2 months is a reasonable timeframe to ask for a doctor to write a note, or whether 6 bathroom trips a day should be the threshold that a warehouse should care about.

I currently drive a pickup - my first truck in the 25 years I’ve been driving.

The OP compares Sweden to its closest neighbours

As do +83% +85% and +88% of the three closest neighbours OP compared Sweden.

In what way does that comparison not make sense?
it doesn't need to be invasive or expensive. in my state I need to get an emissions test every few years, which simply consists of plugging into the ODB jack and reading some values. just take an odometer reading while you're checking the emissions data and charge based on the difference since the last reading.

I suppose you could argue that some people do significant driving off of public roads, but that's probably rare enough that special exemptions would be feasible.

all of this sidesteps the real issue, which is that personal vehicles do negligible damage to the road. road wear from commuter traffic is almost negligible compared to large trucks.
Totally agree. My dad bought an airstream and an F150 big enough to tow it. Driving that thing scared me. The thing was huge, visibility was poor, and consequences of error were magnified.

Democracy, freedom, individual rights.
In my country (and most of East Asian countries I have been, like China, Japan, etc.) residential ACs are mostly in individual rooms (like this: https://moderndiplomacy.eu/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/air-co... ) . You would have one for the living room, one for each bedroom, etc.

Central HVAC exists, but 90%+ homes don't have them.

It's not as convenient and comfortable (one common problem older houses have is that there is no AC in kitchen) but the energy cost difference compared to the norm in the North America is night and day (the houses are significantly smaller here too).
But the problem in both those cases is that one group are dismissing the data. The Democrats might not being doing anything about climate change, but half of the Republicans are flat out saying the science is a hoax.

I'm really trying not to make this about be a one-sided "left vs right" argument (god knows, there are enough dumb ideas on the liberal side around "alternative medicine"), but the two most pressing issues right now (climate change and covid) are markedly worse on one side of the aisle.

That's not "politicising the science", that's acknowledging reality.
You can use qemu user mode even on the same architecture to support newer processor features e.g., wrap your executable with qemu-x86_64-static, even on an amd_64 system. This was my fix to using chromium after an update made it no longer work with processors that didn't support SSE2 (like my netbook's AMD C-50). I didn't really notice any difference in speed, but I didn't use chromium often either.
> The capitalist answer is that the entire Greek population should move to Germany because that is where the jobs are.

No, the capitalist answer would be to lower wages and costs by devaluing the currency and thus bringing in investment and jobs but that is impossible because Greece joined the EU and Euro. Greece's elite benefits from the EU slush fund and their money's value protected by the Euro but it's not so good for the country as a whole.
Probably some fraction of "trucks/SUVs" are professional drivers who usually have a much lower crash rate than private drivers. But the SUV looks twice as deadly in the direct comparison of collisions, while there isn't much reason to expect the type of car has a causal effect on the chance of a collision, ceteris paribus. So we expect a truck/SUV would be twice as deadly in the same hands as a car.
Yep that’s the way to do it. Teaching LL/LR and it’s variations is a complete waste of time.
In addition to walking, I've noticed that walking in a fasted state (usually early in the morning) really gets the mind turning.

It does take a little while to get that perfect pace sometimes.

Also: hounds (in my case, a beagle) are excellent long walk buddies.

One more, going off the deep end: long thinking walks along trails in the woods (ideally a path that you know well so you don't have to think about it) can be a low-key spiritual experience.

Except I'd imagine that most people won't feel the terrorist attack quite so quickly, giving folks likely enough time to recover. If they got bombed up, all the foundries would be fine and can continue production of chips as usual. Of course, the machinery need sophisticated maintenance and replacement parts, but most of those can be produced by non specialist equipment (like normal mills and lathes and stuff for all the mechanical structures). Zeiss plays a big part with the optics and stuff so that would mostly be covered as well.
Getting an appointment with a gastroenterologist can also take a long time. I don't think I've ever been able to schedule an appointment with one less than three months out.

1) I don't want anyone to get into the habit of turning off safety features. Ever.

2) If the material can be cut on that saw without the SawStop, it should be able to be cut with the SawStop. If it can't, the fault is with SawStop, not the user.

I'm happy to pay the extra money for the extra safety. However, I will NOT allow you to blame the user for the fact that SawStop has not uncommon failure modes.

I own a Dodge Ram 2500 and I can say that it's much harder to see things in front of you simply because the vehicle is so large. It's tough to park, tough to take through a small town, and hard to see out of in short-sight conditions. But it hauls a trailer, so it has a purpose.
Depending on the legislators is what most people have to do since not everyone has the time to focus on their privacy - The price of giving up privacy isn't so much that they should focus on it instead of leisure in the few daily hours of free time afforded by the other parts of their life (and sometimes they're directly compensated, eg. ad-supported hulu costing less than ad-free).

Yes, you can fight for your privacy, but good luck fighting for other people's privacy (what they mean by 'protecting privacy').

If I'm riding a bicycle, I am unlikely to hit a person coming up on my right no matter how focused I am on the traffic from the left. The bigger the vehicle, though, the easier it gets because there's less and less visibility of the pedestrian to pull my attention back.
The issue here is that you're a well-poisoner, putting out code that can't be used, as a joke, while also making a popular blog post and making the software easy to use as a library. Now that it's being used, it's also hard for folks to remove your library and implement something similar without it being considered a derivative.

Sure, it's funny, but it's a joke at the expense of everyone else. This is like going to a party and walking up to every person and making a joke at their expense. Were the jokes funny? Maybe. Does everything think you're an asshole? Almost certainly.

> It sounds like you've never worked with people who intentionally "use the bathroom" to not work. If you step out of your white collar tech bubble for a moment you'd realize giving _two months_ to give a doctor's note before reprimanding this woman is perfectly reasonable.

If it's perfectly reasonable, perhaps there's no need for a court case? Or maybe you could concede that there's more details to the story and it remains to be seen if Amazon was being perfectly reasonable. I think it's more the latter, and despite my biases due to the obvious negative press Amazon gets, it may not be the case. Let's be perfectly reasonable ourselves, I made assumptions that the manager was just trying to fire the lady because Amazon be Amazon. You are making assumptions that the worker is a freeloading grifter, and also this:

> If you step out of your white collar tech bubble for a moment you'd realize giving _two months_ to give a doctor's note before reprimanding this woman is perfectly reasonable.

I don't think it's productive to throw assumptions about my work history. I think it's laughable you are using this "you are privileged" argument I've seen time and time again used against to people supportive of Amazon's employment practices here, and swap the worker for the employer. I actually had to double take your stance, because I really had trouble with you assuming my personal work history, but I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you are addressing the general audience having that viewpoint instead. I think you are bringing up a great point by the way, but I am no means in that "white collar tech bubble".

And hey, consider this, the fact you are typing on this forum right at this moment shows we both have a bubble of sorts, where we can type comments and yell at our monitors on a lazy sunday. Some people have to work, and I am pretty sure I'll still get deliveries by Amazon on Sunday.
