So this is our western version of free society expected to become a norm. Sign consent to be fucked over and over or else. And of course it was your "free" choice (never mind loosing a job if you do not sign) so all is nice and dandy.

Do you mean this site?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tell_Abu_Hureyra

It's a unique site of possible early long-term hunter-gatherer settlement right in the middle of one of the regions in which agriculture was first developed. It also happens to be one of the first agricultural sites! The pre-agricultural populations we're talking about are a few hundred people, which feels a little short of a city.
Not arguing your point, because I believe its really valid.

However, the issue is, any moderately complex application will soon develop its own in-house Framework. Its the natural progression, very soon the head Dev will say "lets create a library to handle all our form validation requirements....lets create library separate UI from business logic...etc"

That's the real "slippery slope" from a management perspective.

Do we wind up developing our own in-house Framework which our current developers are very productive in (but new hires don't understand)? Or do we bite the bullet and opt for an already existing Framework that already has a dev community? I'm not suggesting its an easy answer as there are pros/cons to each. In the end for 90% of cases I think starting with an existing Framework (or at least "Framework-lite") is best approach.

Yeah, right. I'm well aware of the turpentine stink problem - for others' sake not mine as its smell doesn't worry me, nor do most coaltar chemicals (as a kid at the end of the steam era I used to open train windows going though tunnels to smell the smoke to my mother's horror/disgust, we also had coal fires at home). I've also been in much trouble for cooking smelly brews in the microwave (destroying old data CD/DVDs in the microwave will stink the kitchen out if one's not careful).

BTW, I only use mineral turpentine and not the low odor or wood-based turpentines. It seems the odorless one has some volatiles missing that make it less effective as a solvent (it acts more like kerosene in that it has less softening effect on plastics than the mineral type).

I see no need to use wood-based turpentine for two reasons (a) it's considerably more expensive (where I am anyway), and (b), as my chemistry training has taught me, it contains variable quantities of terpenes many of which are toxic - even carcinogenic. (I know diehards will disagree but I've not found an instance where it has a distinct advantage over the mineral type.)
I remember this issue. I used to read Byte magazine cover-to-cover, multiple times per issue. I also built many of the circuits they published and learned a tremendous amount from both hardware and coding articles. It's hard for people today to imagine a monthly publication with over 500 pages, yet that's what Byte became. It was fantastic. I still have a box full of articles I clipped before discarding my collection (at some point you have to let go).

The other thing that's amazing to me --unrelated to Byte-- is how much of current AI/machine-learning is stuff that was being done as far back as thirty years ago. I have a four volume set on AI dating back to that era. Most of the neural network stuff we see as magical tools today exists in those books. The difference is that we now have machines with massive storage, working memory and speed. In some ways we haven't really gone very far at all, a perspective lost to those who don't have the benefit of history.
One of the trends I have been seeing, especially in devtool space is there products built by agencies and there are products built by companies where it is their flagship product. When you have a situation like this, then it dilutes the value proposition of your product. Even though, agency driven product might be serious or might not be seriously pursued, it definitely make the space red ocean.

I wonder how people generally combat this kind of scenarios.
The momentum point is very valid. But the slower speeds provide more time for drivers and others to react. That in turn gives you much more time to break and scrub off that extra momentum.

At 50kph your reaction distance is about 15 meters, at 25kph it’s half that at 7.5meters. (Assuming reaction time of 1 second, which seems to be a realist value).

7.5 meters is quite a bit of distance, and in a busy city will make a lot of difference.

One of the benefits of Wordpress is that it runs on PHP. It's very easy to find a cheap web host and just copy the files over. Many web hosts even have a simple button that sets it up for you.

A viable alternative would need to be just as simple, and currently that implies it should probably be implemented in PHP, which will exclude developers who want experience with "blog-friendly" languages.
I mean, it would be astonishing if all the details matched after hundreds to thousands of years of oral tradition.

> Building codes serve to lock property owners out of the means to actually live on their own property.

Building codes, or zoning requirements? Building codes typically cover things like fire protection, means of egress, ventilation, sanitary plumbing requirements, etc. While the requirement for indoor plumbing adds a small amount of cost to a dwelling, the zoning requirements (min, max square footage, setbacks, parking requirements, etc) are a substantially larger impact I think.

I'm pretty far on the personal liberty scale, but I don't think it's reasonable to allow outhouses or permanent portajohns in a high population density area.

In fact the 25kph is so they are legally bicycles across europe, no questions asked.

Countries can allow faster or more powerful devices, but the european baseline is that a pedelec is a bicycle period.

Python added a GOTO a few years ago, by mistake, with asyncio.ensure_future(): https://vorpus.org/blog/notes-on-structured-concurrency-or-g...

We are still paying this mistake as of today: most devs don't scope their async tasks lifecyle leading to a huge spaghetti code.

GOTOs are too easy to misuse.

We used to have only GOTOs, no loop, no if... But specialized keyword are better: they enforce a cleaner code, leverage conventions, play batter with tooling and make the whole experience easier to read and debug.

Yeah, in more and more places I think they're sending everything above 25 km/h to the road. At the same time, we see "bicycle streets" emerging more and more, which are just as wide as regular streets (and which can be used by cars), but where the bicycle is the primary vehicle. I think they mostly rose in popularity in response to congestion on regular bike paths, but I feel like they also help with the width and speed issues - although above 25km/h is still quite fast. As I get more used to them though, the ones with a limit of 25 feel less problematic to me.
Sorry if I was unclear: I don't agree. I feel pretty mixed about "pedal-assist vehicles" in cycle lanes and oppose scooters and everything else.
For the last couple of days I’ve been contemplating the idea of converting a grand piano into a road-legal tricycle, with either no motor (which would mean it’d need some extremely low gearing) or no more than 250W (the limit in Australia). It’s more an amusing idea than anything else, but who knows, if the velomobile and trailer I’m planning (with my 11.5kg Yamaha P-45 digital piano built into the trailer as well as a small fridge and other such stuff for indefinite touring as I cycle round the country) goes well, maybe eventually I will convert a grand piano just for fun. It occurred to me today while cycling and mulling over the legal requirements of bicycles in Victoria that if the piano was playable while in motion, it might not even need a bell… (Road Safety Road Rules 2017, 258(b): “a bell, horn, or similar warning device, in working order.”)

I’ve also been amusing myself imagining ways this grand piano tricycle could be prepared for certification as a self-contained vehicle in New Zealand (typically the domain of RVs and some vans). If you didn’t care about complying, the basics of camping would actually be fairly simple—sling a hammock underneath it!

To expand on that, CSR doesn't automagically save you from round-trips. It enables you to be agnostic where your data structure is built, but there are a lot of cases where you need to do that on the server anyway.

Then there is caching, if your stack is well-integrated and aware of mutations you can respond with 304, or you can intercept requests with serviceWorkers, or edge/cloud workers/functions etc. AKA speed of light or practically instant responses.

Well, that's a little tough. Is it "drivers hate seatbelts" or "drivers feel so much time pressure that extra few seconds eats into their tiny wage"?
This is very interesting.

In some cases there are books that some user recommended and then the book listed is not that one.

Same happens for the book "Calculus: Early Transcendentals".

As an example (for GP) many London boroughs (city councils/districts) now enforce a global 20mph (32kph) speed limit on all their roads. With recent legislation making it trivially easy for boroughs to do this (I think it used to require consultations etc, but now they can be unilaterally applied with consultation with the public).

Additionally TfL have had the entire of central London (within the congestion zone) 20mph.
I think the relativism is killing all sides' arguments. Everybody starts from a probably sensible argument, but then takes it to extremes with slippery slopes and strawmen until the start gets diluted or even lost, so that's how we get both neonazis and cancel culture and many other denominations at the same time which all claim being right. Was the initial statement right? Possibly, but that one is long gone and all the reaction and measures are a consequence of the later additions (aka slippery slopes and strawmen).
Haha, seeing huge tricycles and cargo ebikes all the time I've been wondering the same.

Legally they must be propelled by pedaling... However these ebikes really stretch that definition, the pedals do not directly drive anything, they just work as a throttle.

So, if the battery is discharged, the pedals are useless.

I've actually been thinking of a similar system, except the pedals drive a generator that charges the battery.

This way the bike is motor propelled, you can have a longer battery life by charging it as you ride and it's technically more of a cycle since you could cycle to provide power to the motor.

My main thought is that it would reduce/even the load on your knees since you wouldn't need to start/accelerate as often.

Honestly, if the internet isn't required for the device to function, I think it shouldn't even be IoT in the first place.

I think automatic updates should be part of the device's default lifecycle because nobody will download a ZIP and stick it onto a flash drive to update their fridge. If an automatic update bricks a device, it should be exchanged for free by either the point of sale or the manufacturer because it broke during normal operation. IoT vendors have been given far too much leeway and it's time they're held responsible for the crap they put on the internet.
I'm in the US, where I think the limit is 25mph /750w for ebikes.

> 25kmph is about the max speed for a street cyclist but vehicles that sustain this speed for long periods

I'd agree with you if that was 25mph. On my road bike I sustain 20 mph for most of the ride. 25mph would be sprinting.

Also, I'd bring up a different point about ebikes. It takes a while to get steering and quick reaction time skills for going that fast, ex. having your inside knee up and being comfortable banking a turn.

Also the market for ebikes : older/entry cyclists might not have the reaction time needed at those speeds.
And a lot of ebikes have upright geometry not aggressive road bike geometry.

I built an ebike to commute around on, bafang conversion kit on a mtb. Ebikes have their place, and I'm excited to commute with it in the snow. I think the main issue is we need larger paths for bikes. Not these single track lanes that exist in cities. A lot of time the time in my area it makes sense to just ride on the road than deal with a bike lane when riding my road bike (pedal power).

And the product in the article is insane in a bike lane. I think it really highlights my point about the size of lanes. They need to be bigger if bikes are going to become a more viable form of commuting for everyone.
