Working on a sheet of lead with a big plumbing soldering iron doesn't sound like a terribly good idea - couldn't it result in you breathing in lead-containing fumes?

You are putting words in my mouth. Of course I am against hitting cyclists, and I have never done so.
But, isn’t the key distinction that this is an unregulated space, which is heavily manipulated. Crypto investors cannot make proper informed decisions, because they are being mislead or outright lied to, and cheated, at a near constant rate. It’s optional for them to be sure, but they are being tricked.
> some cars will pass you then slow down to walking speed in front of you.

I have never heard of this happening to anybody.
I have ADHD, so reading is painstakingly slow. I still want to and enjoy reading, though, so I have also looked for ways to improve my reading speed.

I’ve tried for years, and ultimately it has come at the detriment of reading comprehension and my enjoyment.

I am actively in the process of reading books lovingly. I am trying not to care how long it takes me to get through a book, and to just enjoy what I’m reading. It’s tough, but has improved the experience for me.
You’re missing the major point that bikes go much slower than cars, so it makes sense for traffic flow to let cars pass safely.
Even in a rural environment you will be hard pressed to get from A to B as a cyclist without being required to have lights and a bell.

In general service roads that run through a forest tend to be private roads where you don't have to follow that rule, everything else tends to be a public road. On anything that's just a flat place but isn't road like you're also scot-free.

But as you say, lights really aren't the bulky things they used to be.
Or cyclists can be incentivised to move to small motorcycles (pedelec if they want to stay fit) and we avoid the whole issue of converting car lanes to bicycle lanes and then reverting that decision because a traffic jam occurred and residents were not impressed, wasting money in the process ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Not just that, where you are even in your local area. In the city, it is kind of surprising and kind of not, I have found that you feel safer. Cars seem to know how to navigate around bikes. In the country, that is not true. You have trucks blow by you doing 10 over the limit and they get close to you, really close. It wouldn't surprise me to learn that many do not even see you - these lifted trucks don't have much visibility.
Many cyclists die every year, typically in collisions involving motor vehicles. It goes without saying that very few drivers are killed in those collisions. The risks are widely asymmetric. So if we want to talk about the worst of a group, I'd encourage you to spend five minutes on r/idiotsincars. Compare anything in that subreddit with your example here: you have drive more slowly than you'd like in a situation where you acknowledge the other person has equal rights?

Also, wow at this:

> I don't see your side of the story, and probably never will unless I kill one of you.
Nothing new here, this has been a steadily increasingly problem: media outlets generally don't hire people with even a basic scientific eduction to do science journalism. A lot of this has to do with the 'expert propaganda' phenomenon - corporations and government have a list of so-called experts that they want the journalists to act as stenographers for, and the media corporations oblige by hiring ignorant journalists who will just repeat whatever they're told. This suits the interests of pharmaceutical corporations ('buy our wonderful new Vioxx drug! don't ask us about flaws in clinical trial design!), financial fraudsters ('our expert economists say get an adjustable rate loan! it's the way of the future!), and similar types.

Here's a similar discussion from a decade ago, a rather defensive piece from a journalist:

https://www.forbes.com/sites/daviddisalvo/2011/08/08/why-sci...

Corporate media is, more often than not, just a mouthpiece for state and corporate propaganda, and the types of journalists who succeed in that environment are just pliable weathervanes who do what their editors tell them to do, and the editors do what the owners tell them to do, and hey, meet the Washington Post owned by Jeff Bezos whose AWS got a $600 million CIA contract for web services, so no more investigative journalism like Top Secret America, please!

As far as the main points Hossenfelder raises, i.e. basic concepts like original sources, range of uncertainties, margins of error, unquestioning reliance on press releases, alternative hypothesis, understanding of how mathematical models of physical phenomena are tested against observational data - well, that might force the public to think about what they're reading. That's not the job of the corporate media, they're not there to encourage critical thinking - they're there to take complex topics, simplify them to the point where a small child could understand them, and then repeat, repeat, repeat. That's the essence of propaganda tactics.

It wouldn't. Not to mention you'd have to bring all the x86 arch crap with it.

You'd be surprised how much give car door hinges have. I've managed to almost rip doors off their hinges before when people door me. They are also very surprised when they call the cops as a result of this and receive a ticket for breaking the law.

If somebody opens their car door into the bike lane and after slamming on my brakes, and I can see that I'm not going to stop in time:

1. Try to skid sideways. Your body will impact the door predictably and you will stop. (Same advice when a car pulls a sudden illegal U-Turn.) Having your front wheel impact the door first could result in any number of bad outcomes.

2. Always opt for the door collision instead of swerving out into traffic to avoid the door. The cars behind you are far more deadly than the door is.

No matter the type of collision ALWAYS call 911 and get the driver's information. The police report is key to getting the driver's insurance to pay for your injuries and damage to your bike. You also should always say yes if the 911 operator asks if you need medical attention. You are running on adrenaline and may be in shock after a collision with a car. You will not start hurting until after some time passes.

Tech news / "journalism" is even worse.
I am cycling for 25 years (nearly daily commutes, in big central european cities) and the total number of times I was forced off my bike/crashed dueing that time is probably roughly once every two years. Most of them when I break so hard that I have to unmount the bicycle sideways and run the rest of the momentum off. Basically the bicycle equivalent of an emergency break in your car.

If you know how to do this safely at speed it can really protect you, because good breaks are all nice and sound, but if you are not leaning backwards you will do a frontflip immediately. And even if you lean back hard (behind the saddle) there still will be a point where your bike goes into front-wheelie/front flip. It is really good, if by that point you are not on the bike anymore, but running alongside.
The only reason your system needs to be deterministic is because your company is afraid. If it wasn't afraid and instead just interested in making an accurate model of reality, it wouldn't be interested in determinism.

Basing the behavior of your simulator on yesterdays data is a neat trick, but it has no relationship to the actual world. Not in a million years would the exact same market behavior of yesterday happen again.

Instead of building it deterministic, you could simply run your system a hundred times, and maybe purposefully mess with the timings to make execution more non-deterministic. And instead of a precise number "yesterday we would have made X amount of money with our trading engine", you would come up with a distribution that is much more predictive of the future "with market circumstances similar to yesterday we would have made between X and Y amount of money with our trading engine".

Anyway, I don't work on trading systems so I probably shouldn't tell you how to do your job. This is just how I see simulation systems.
that's the obvious issue. another less intuitive one is that modern cpus and compilers are essentially optimized for iterative algorithms. state variables can be kept in registers, simd can be used for data that appears in contiguous arrays, caching is built on locality assumptions and data locality is preserved.

non-flattened recursive algorithms spread their state across linear memory with a full stack frame for every iteration. at the least this defeats gains from caches, at worst it defeats them entirely by filling them with junk.

but, if the problem is small enough it can be worth it for the correctness guarantees and increased simplicity.

trivial iterative algorithms are simpler, sure, but when things get more complicated, recursion can replace very hard to understand, test and debug iterative code with simple recursive definitions where guarantees of correctness and termination come for free.
In, cough, 1991, my wife and I did a bike tour in Europe for our honeymoon. We spent a total of 4 weeks in Holland, England, and Germany. We took trains and of course ferries to cover larger differences. We did less than 50 miles in a typical day, iirc.

The thing is, back then, no GPS, no Internet, just maps and asking people for help. The trip was not particularly challenging and was very rewarding. It seems like such a trip would be even more easy and fun today with all of the extra context and information that you have with a smart phone.
I've found cycling in winter (with snow or ice) much easier with studded winter tyres (and some care ... can't go 25 km/h over ice with those, either).

Also this is assuming that the system isn't rigged which most likely is.
Sounds like the problem is that you basically cheated your way into boredom by reading all the tutorials and player guides first. The most fun I ever had with DF was just going in blind and thrashing about trying to discover how everything works which generally resulted in spectacular failure. The fun of a complex system is in learning how all that complexity works. Once you know everything about it it loses its appeal.
I don't know the specific situation in Austin (which this article is about), but in a lot of countries the cycle path infrastructure is patchy at best, and when the choice is between "busy road with cars going 50 or even 80 km/h" and "cycle on the sidewalk" then it's an easy choice IMHO.

Even in slower traffic things can be dodgy; in the UK they're quite fond of their roundabouts and that's all great for cars, but these two-lane roundabouts can be quite dodgy for cyclists with people changing lanes and such and it's very easy to end up in someone's blind spot, so I would take the sidewalk.
I (in the US, driving and riding on the right) go for where the passenger seat would be - far enough left to take up enough of the lane that cars can't pass me by just squeezing between the yellow line and my bike, but that I'm not inconsiderately taking up more of the road than necessary.

There are way too many jerks who put their passenger rearview mirror 12" from my head or literally into my elbow at 55 mph, or who slow down to 25 and try to pass me at a crawl while treating the yellow line as a brick wall if I ride where the outside tire goes or if I ride on the white line. The law here states that cars must give 5 feet of space when passing, but it's not widely respected... Given the choice between squeezing through at an illegally close distance, or waiting for a chance to pass in the opposite lane, too many choose to squeeze past - so don't give them that choice.

Do you drive much in the States? The amount of insane hostility that I see on the road in general, not even directed toward cyclists, is mind boggling. For instance, I would never respond to anything with any sort of escalation of anger, because people literally get shot and killed over it in my state on a regular basis.

Here are a few recent incidents, just in my city alone:

All of those are just in the last few months. The last one in particular is just absolutely over the top batshit insane Mad Max level behavior.
Ok. Elaborate. Why is this important?
The overwhelmingly most common one I see is cyclists not stopping at STOP signs (or worse, red lights), and the real crazy ones appear to not even slow down.

It is illegal to run a stop sign, and it is certainly possible a car (crossways or turning) will arrive first and have right of way. So a car is turning, why should it expect a cyclist to come plowing through on a whim?

Again: it is ILLEGAL for cyclists to run stop signs. You have to stop, just like a car. (And in case you think it’s no big deal, I see plenty of cars that aren’t too good at stopping either. You want to hit them?)
I find it really strange where some privacy debates have gone wrong, and this is a perfect example. It's basically a form of "don't trust them, better trust us, also we're in a country with better privacy laws". Which is an imperfect solution at best, and given that I have no idea who bunny.net is it's a questionable one at best.

If you embed a font hosted somewhere else you expose some of your user data to them. Now with fonts there's a really simple solution: Just don't. As an added bonus, hosting fonts on your own server is faster as it goes through the same HTTP connection.

There are situations where you can't completely avoid privacy issues, and then you can try to do better than others. But if you can completely get rid of a privacy issue then obviously that's what you should do.
Won’t that cause the fonts to download again if they were loaded by Google fonts? I thought the reason to use something like Google fonts was to have the fonts download only once.

Yeah. The graveyards have plenty of drivers/riders who had right-of-way.
Nothing against letting cars pass safely. Just think that demanding bikes let you invade their safety buffer isn’t how you perform a safe pass.

Each individual person is liable to become a "them" once one asserts one's individuality from the group identity. Group coalitions that do not respect individuality often fall prey to base emotions as they collectively punish individual identities. Individual creators are largely responsible for the actual work, new ideas, innovations, things...

The feedback loop described in the OP creates groupthink, politically correct culture, an abundance of blind spots, & a narrow path of evolution specifically tailored to the group's worldview. Group "whips" are given positions of power to mete out punishment against those who cross lines defined by group & interpreted by the "whip".

If one sees all models as being false, the teleological fate of the OP's group feedback loop unchecked is group delusion, irrelevance, harming a perennial ever changing subgroup of outlier individuals, & eventual collapse. The perennial ever changing subgroup of outliers individuals is necessary to feed the base emotional reward circuitry of the "in group", a necessary sacrifice to cohere the "in group", feeding the group's evolutionary descent...

Perceived morality is important for the "whip". There's always a statement of alibi & justification while the "whip" is punishing others. "For the greater good" is often an alibi to justify the emotional reward circuitry "hit" of those afflicted with these addictions

It does though. Especially.
Setting up a virtual K8s cluster inside a container for integration testing
I had a car actively swerve into me to try to run me off the road after I took the lane to get around a stopped bus. Car drivers can definitely get crazy aggressive if they think you’re not riding “in your place.”

Edit: I still agree that taking the lane when appropriate is the safest option, but it’s hard to deny that some people are insane.
> Browsers don't use cross-site cache anymore

Correct. The last major browser stopped in early 2021.

> I think browsers still cache content from request to request for a domain.

Definitely! A cache still provides substantial speedup. Modern browsers fragment the cache on a per-site basis: www.example.com and www.example.org don't share, but www.example.com and forums.example.com do share.
No, it's been that way since Eternal September
I think part of the reason is because there’s a disconnect between science and the rest of society. Science doesn’t work in 2 week sprints or fiscal quarters or election cycles. It’s not something that can be scheduled or forecasted. It’s slow and error-prone and there may just not be anything newsworthy for several years at a time.
While this is right, I'm not sure why you mentioned pausing requests. If you can run v1 and v2 at the same time, you could switch where the new requests are going without affecting the old ones. There's many ways to do that, but what I do is point nginx upstream at a path which is a symlink to a Unix socket of a specific version. So it's more like: start the new version, check, update symlink, wait until old connections drop, kill old version.
I had no idea Queens did that too. I guess it's more common than I suspected.
Can you give some examples? Custom web fonts have been well supported since the late aughts.
> there is no reason for the rich businessman to be driving his Porsche at 120 km/h down a back road near where everyone cycles.

I think this analog is close to the dynamic vs static debate. However, there are probably more factors to consider, such as competence of the driver (will the driver even care to slow down?), location of the intersection (an intersection just around a shallow corner) and value of the driver's car (does the driver care about a little damage?).

In my experience similar arguments hold for software developers. Especially caring can be a big factor; i.e. the "move fast, break things" mentality.

I've been back and forth between typed and untyped languages (somewhere in the range of haskell and tcl) and personally prefer less typing when hacking things together and more typing for high quality software. I'm currently working an infra job where we use both ansible and terraform. They're not direct competitors, but I tend to prefer terraform over ansible when possible, as terraform gives me more "static" guarantees, which translates to more confidence when we apply our code.
A lot of people I know will simply not use a service if the only way to do so is through an app, due to the dumpster fire that is security and privacy in apps. I understand that such people are a small percentage of the population, but I really do sometimes wonder if companies are even aware that they have a pool of potential customers that they've excluded from even trying their product out.
It actually depends on the state laws in the US. More states are starting to adopt the Idaho stop. Though I agree that cyclists who abandon all situational awareness when arriving at intersections are just future organ donors.
