Depends a little. Usually you are passing through lots of populated places regularly and so generally I would stop at bakeries (local/different ones if I find them) and supermarkets to get the bulk of the food I would eat in the day, as well as the odd restaurant in the evening. I also tour with camping and simple cooking gear so would mix in some cooking depending on time/budget/availability of other options. On my last tour, for various reasons, I ended up doing more wild camping which this time meant cooking less (more evening time spent in towns before finding somewhere to camp) but in say Scotland, would probably be carrying more food and cooking more when wild camping. Always useful to be carrying at least a little food with you just in case you conk-out and need the energy.

An example of a breakfast I was having on my last trip was: 2 croissants, yoghurt with chocolate coated peanuts mixed in, a banana and some fruit smoothie (which seemed on offer a lot this trip) and I might stop for second breakfast/early lunch and get a couple of pasties at the next town with a bakery (handy because you can eat these while cycling). In Italy you might instead be eating things like focaccia from local bakeries (perfect size for my handlebar bag), the landscape of what you eat changes with region, season and mood. You might be surprised though just how good very simple food (bread/cheese) can taste when you are doing exercise all day.

One thing I would advise is that it is a lot kinder on the body to attach the bags to the bike if possible rather than carry on your back. I tour relatively heavy and I think my bike/bags together weigh about 40-45kg, just about liftable at a push if I need to, for example, get a small boat for pedestrians (though usually I'd take a couple bags off to make it easier). It's very possible to travel a lot lighter than this though, particularly if not camping, some people just take a change of clothes and a credit card.
I think a lot of mods use it, and that's why they don't get rid of it - since reddit mods basically work for Reddit for free.
Such a basic feature? If the OS dedups a file, by putting in a symlink behind the scenes, no one need know a symlink (or something else) exist. That makes for a better user experience. There are less concepts to absorb and less errors to be made, as the file-system won't have any cycles.

Symlinks are a premature optimization in my book, or worse, bad design. On the user level, shortcuts are often the better solution, because they allow arguments to be passed in on the command-line.

This story is really about the arrogance that is as abundant as it is inappropriate in linux world. Never have I heard of dependency hell or broken systems on Android, yet geriatric linux always needs the help of an administrator.

The only place where linux still has some merit is on the server, where its classical but aging mainframe concepts still have some life left in them.
Sure, I specifically use these POSIX orientated emulation layers for the process of porting "UNIX" apps. I would consider windows an acceptable replacement for UNIX as long as one isn't working with people who use its native interfaces by default.
> You've got a right to use the lane just as much as I do, but be a good citizen and actually let me pass you safely. If you hear me coming up behind you or notice my flashing high beams, please dip to the right a bit so that I can continue past you and leave you safely.

Do you take the same approach to cars? Or do you reserve such aggressive tactics only for vulnerable road users?

As you say, bike user have just as much right to the lane as car users. That means they can use the entire thing, just like car users do. If their rights are equal, why do you expect bikes to squeeze over and force them to share the lane side-by-side with you?
Wow, I never knew of dial.uber.com!! m.uber.com was built by an engineering team in India, but for global usage.
Why the fuck not
If failure really was a foundation for success, we reimplement all these technologies we software emulate now and where the patent has expired so we could implement them in hardware, including the firmware by hardbaking it as an ASIC (certainly ASIC memory is more dense than flash and obviously more so than SRAM).

For example, putting a pre-Y2K pentium on a chip with soundblaster, using diodes for power, and using wireless communication. It'd make the RISC-V ESP32 look wimpy.

The state of modern technology is shameful.
For me, determinism is a fundamental property to be aimed for, to build testable and repeatable systems, whether they are simulation engines or real-world systems.

For example, one of the projects I have worked on is one of the largest trading engines in the world, with high concurrency. To make it testable and fault-tolerant, all incoming messages are timestamped and handled in time-serial order. The same timestamp helps with idempotence.

When testing the engine core and downstream systems, a previous day's test data can be input in timestamp order (instead of concurrently), so that we know the behaviour of the system in the face of a fix.

Dataflow systems (which is most software) should be idempotent and deterministic. If random() is called, then fixing the seed should make it deterministic.
Just because they ought to doesn't mean they actually do. The GP is basically advocating the bicycle version of defensive driving, why do you find this "abusive"?
Web too good and too free. So we get crap like Reddit harrassing mobile web users to use their app and purposely sabotaging their own web interface to further that.
You just want to exploit people.
Well over 1B people remains unbanked, either excluded from banking or due to non intentional accessibility issues. That alone means crypto may be a solution to a signicant issue so many are having.
Would that be enough?

Even among the banked, and in the very developed world, the traditional system has caused the loss of people' life long savings, loss of the ability to even continue business operations, that day someone in a centralised office decided it was OK to unilateraly freeze their accounts without notice (the many reporting their anecdotes but somehow rarely making mainstream news), or even the sudden withdrawal of the funds for dubious or faulty reasons (Greece, and other countries which faced economical turmoils and saw even democratically elected administrations basically steal people's money to recover from their own mismanagement flaws).

If you aren't impacted by any of the freedom and justice proven serious freedom and justice infringements listed above, which sometimes put people in life threatening positions, at least of financial tremendous distress, then Good for you! If you don't see any benefit in adopting blockchain technologies in your day to day life, fine! It will come around. And for now, billions would disagree with your perspective.

On PostgresQL, amazing solution,my favorite RDBS I think. Worth pointing out the main original author of this software was/is a hero in the fight against system oppression, he would probably have to say that PostgressQL is a beautiful solution for what it solves, and that blockchain is a revolution pending to solve many other issues, if only he could have access to this thread and not be inhumainly restrained in jail for many years with very questionable treatment, decided by the same clique of tyrants who sold us the banking system we still have today.
You’d think there would be a plausible hormesis explanation for the benefits of moderate alcohol intake.

Lots of systems in the body work this way. Eg we grow our muscles by literally damaging them and having them grow back stronger.
Right now the units are moving in tile-sized increments. I'll be implementing floating point movement soon. I move the map around while the units are moving and you'll see its not at 4 FPS.

I think with any quasi-infinite growth game, you are going to run into a problem of it slowing down, eventually. That's what inspired me to create this algorithm. I wanted a game that could scale, and traditionally path finding is a CPU intensive task.

The video I linked is out of date, I'll be making a new one soon.

Now: building the path finding graph is now stored in a vector (i.e. array) instead of an unordered_map (and still has constant time access/find). This cut CPU cycles by 66% since a vector doesnt use linked list/pointers/store a hash, and reduced RAM requirements by 75%. Then I parallelized that part of the code base.

So for my 6 core machine, I can find all the all-pairs, all-possible shortest paths in a 50 x 50 grid of roads in 10 seconds. This is about 13 square miles of city if each block is the size of a Manhattan block. I'll be working around this time by implementing a planning mode so it only updates as needed.
The issue for me with her videos is that she mixes two very different kinds of criticism.

The first is criticism of things that are clearly wrong, such as the aforementioned science journalism. This is a good public service, I agree.

The second is criticism of other physicists’ ideas. i.e. her personal opinions and professional disagreements with other physicists.

She doesn’t delineate the two clearly enough to her audience, so some of her viewers may come away thinking that views that are held by physicists who are her peers, are in the same bucket as junk pop science articles. Just read the comments on her videos, they are full of “physics is a scam” type people who feel vindicated.
This reminds me of Girard's idea that Christianity (and others I'm sure) was effective because it showed things from the victim's point of view. I'm not making the claim that it fixed everything, but it's an interesting idea nonetheless.
Did Uber exit the market in the region completely?
I don't even know how you have survived this far by being so ignorant.
I don’t know the statistics but there are people posting on Reddit’s /r/bicycletouring about going to or through Mexico with pictures of their trip, and people respond with similar fears to what you listed (which is my immediate thought as well.)

>What is not good, though, is if you, the maintainer, are burned out, or overworked, but stubbornly insist on being a bottleneck in the project under your inept stewardship nevertheless, and just whine and moan about your burnout to get internet points and worldwide pity.

The problem is when there are no other maintainers to the project, and you quite firmly believe the project itself has a future, just that nobody else is able to do so. Yes, you can quit, but if people truly do rely on your project (but nobody is actually willing to take the reigns) then it can become an issue of pride for some. To be clear, I'm not suggesting that people burn themselves out (I myself have gone down that road before), just that "Walk away" isn't always such an easy option for some people.
My safety tip based on decades of cycling: think of safety as a game of percentages, like baseball. Stopping in the blind spot of a car is a low percentage maneuver—do it enough times and you’ll get hit. I try to ride in a way that reduces the risk over the long term: picking bike friendly routes, mimimizing travel at night, wearing visible clothing, and generally not surprising motorists.
Nobody competes. This is stupid.
Right, but that's very abstract.
So what value do you manage to add? Should I assume you develop custom/bespoke Software where two slightly distrustful parties have to share write/read access and use DLT to make it easier for parties to agree?
A cyclist must be courteous for you not to kill them? The instigator on an unsafe pass is the person passing, not the person getting passed.
That sounds like a terrible design. Or rather, a reasonable design implemented poorly. I don’t have a problem with double bike lanes, but they have to be signed properly for the reasons you mention. And they should be continuous - forcing one direction to periodically divert onto sidewalks is bonkers.

After seeing some of the designs of bike lanes, sidewalks, etc in my area, I’m convinced the traffic engineers are either 100% incompetent or they’re all anti-bike/pro-car. State funding requires bike infrastructure when major roadworks are planned, but it doesn’t appear to require bike infrastructure that makes any sense.
How a Jet Airliner Works
Were you aware of this effect before reading about it here? I wasn't.

Could that have maybe been a reason for posting it?
There is Product Category A, Product Category B, and Product Category C. In each of those categories there is a "best" product.

But a company may not have the bandwidth to release in all three categories. So it may choose to focus on Product Category B, and the best implementation for B, and leave A and C (for now). Even though there are "best" implementations/ideas available for A and C.

Sometimes it is not possible for a company to walk and chew gum at the same time.
Just so you know, Codespaces doesn’t work well on an iPad
I do almost all of my dev work in GitHub codespaces, and I thought I’d be able to use it just fine on an iPad Pro, which would be a convenient laptop replacement for vacationing. But it doesn’t really work that well.

1) The connection with the server is closed every time you switch to a different app, so you have to wait like 10 seconds for the site to reconnect when you switch back.

2) Unlike VSCode, even if you use a non-standard keyboard layout, all the keyboard shortcuts assume QWERTY. So when pressing cmd-shift-p, you have to actually press where p would be on a qwerty keyboard, which totally messes up my muscle memory.

3) The iPad has this really useful feature where a password bar appears at the bottom of the screen when you’re in a password field, which you can use to quickly open your password manager. Unfortunately, this bar is permanently visible whenever you’re in a text field in Codespaces, and it covers up the whole bottom 5% of the screen even if that’s where you’re typing. When you have the integrated terminal open, you’re almost always typing at the bottom of the screen, so it’s impossible to see the command you’re typing.

I’m kind of disappointed, but these three things make codespaces next to unusable for me on my iPad.
Intel's only hope in the short to medium term is to manufacture at TSMC, like everyone else.
Why do you care about this?
Some (relatively successful) attempts were made to run it in an emulated PDP: https://github.com/PDP-10/its/issues/147
Yeah - I should get my grannie and her grandkids to come make the 200 mile round trip by bike!

I hear what you are saying - if you love bikes long journeys are wonderful. I imagine motorcyclists or long distance runners could get the same buzz.

> It may not be for everyone but I want to live in a world where that experience feels accessible to as many as possible.

But let's not kid ourselves that this is a viable option for most people. And if you mean that we should get rid of even more roads for bike lanes, you are actually going to restrict people engaging with distant relations and friends.
The voyager probes had 450 watt of total electrical power at launch, supplied by 3 RTGs. The plutonium alone in one of those RTG units (4.5kg) would easily cost $10M.

And it's the type of thing that is only used by government programs, very dangerous to handle, and which requires a whole specialized industry to produce. The accounting gets complicated. I wouldn't be surprised by a $100M cost per RTG unit.
Why would I be nervous? I don’t hold bitcoin and don’t have anything on exchanges. Are you projecting some of your nervous energy?

Gemini doesn’t have withdrawal issues. Misinformation only makes your position look weak.

Your claim Binance is going under is laughable as well. You have zero understanding of this market.

Currently I can close edges (i.e. an individual road between two intersections), but right now I would have to rebuild the path finding graph each time the graph changes. I was thinking of this problem too, cause it would be really cool to temporarily close a road down for repairs/construction. I think there is a way to make it work without needing to rebuild! Just havent had time to look into it.
It doesn't change the risk profile enough to mean that many more people are getting loans, at least historically.

Just because businesses can afford more debt, doesn't mean banks are going to give it to them. This is flawed logic.

That's great to hear, but your enjoyment of the game doesn't nullify the sheer volume of issues the game had at and years after launch, nor the tons of players who were shit upon by activistion/blizzard.
Light years are huge distances. One light-year is 63 thousand times larger than the distance between the Earth and the Sun. Even a mighty supernova would not fry you from a distance of a light-year or more.

Here's a quotation with the effects of a supernova by distance [1]

An Earth like planet would be reduced to a cinder and thrown into interstellar space, even if it were thousands of times further from its star than Earth is from the Sun. Further out…

At 2 to 5 light years: A bright blue point of light appears in the sky, growing to sun-like brightness over 14 to 30 days. Effects include increased surface temperatures, wildfires, extreme weather, melting of ice caps, lethal radiation levels, total ozone layer loss, and chemical changes to the atmosphere.

At 20 to 50 light years: The blue light outshines a full moon a thousand times. Radiation levels cause cancers, sterility, birth defects, massive ozone layer loss ( 50% +) , high altitude nitrous oxide smog, increased cloud cover, loss of satellite networks, and lethal radiation dose to astronauts. Other possible effects include an worldwide lightning storms and dementia in humans and animals.

At 100 to 250 light years: The blue light is comparable to full moon, and radiation causes a measurable spike in cancer and birth defect rates. Other effects include satellite disruption similar to the worst solar storms, increased frequency of lightning strikes, erratic behaviour and memory loss in mammals, and disruption to circadian rhythms.

A world within 20 light years of the supernova may be engulfed in the expanding cloud of radioactive debris. This will cause more long term effects, including global cooling and an increase in background radiation levels.

I'd just have installed the app and got on with my life. But I admire the effort.
You drive high ad revenue with their mobile app, with all the data mining. The old reddit experience was destroyed to drive ad revenue, they don’t care about UX.

Go to Project Gutenberg. Find a 100+ year old book that you're not going to get preemptively sentimentally attached to. Practice accelerating your reading with that.

That is exactly how I broke myself of the extremely self-limiting habit of having to subvocalize every single word like I'm still in kindergarten.
I really don't think just b/c tesla "did it first" we should give a crap. We should only give a crap that companies are bringing cheap EVs to consumers. tesla is not doing that.

Literally a conspiracy theory.
“Romani ite domum”
You start with not subsidizing the meat industry massively (via direct handouts, subsidized feed and so on) and making them pay for exterrnalities.

That way they'll have vastly less money for advertising and lobbying.

Then you take the trillions you've saved and use it to bring healthy, convenient, tasty options to put in front of them.

It's actually pretty easy to get people to make different choices, you just make the good choice slightly more convenient and stop subjecting them to 24/7 manipulation to make the terrible choice.
That seemed like a lifetime count of wipeouts (including as a kid and while learning). I don’t know my lifetime count, but I could believe it’s around 100.

"Terrible" reportage can indeed mean getting quotes wrong and basic established facts incorrect.

But it also covers simplifying things for a (somewhat educated) lay audience, making decisions about what to include and exclude, and including perspectives that some experts may take issue with.

Certainly, it would be nice if many journalists had a better background in what they're writing about. But it's also a case that experts can have unreasonable expectations about the depth and nuance of something written for the more or less general public.
bold of you to assume that the average user knows how to disable anything on their phone
> If they want you to just have any app installed they'd win even if you install Apollo.

Sorry but this just isn't true. They want the app for the tracking, push notifications, etc. Apollo doesn't have the tracking and does it's own push notifications (so you don't get Reddit's marketing-type notifications). Also it's much harder, if not impossible, to block ads in an app vs the web. Apollo has zero ads, they absolutely don't want you using it, even the web is better for Reddit. It's only a matter of time before they "Twitter" up their API even more than they already do. There are multiple things (stats, polls, certain profile features) that they don't expose through their API.
>Weather news are alright, traffic news are alright

I'd venture to say weather news is also alarmist and therefore bad, particularly during severe weather events and hyping up hurricane news.
If you were not paid to write this comment I feel really bad for you.

Crypto has benefits. It's entertaining and some projects are kind of clubs which is fun for the participants. Also the technology is interesting at least to me. I learned a lot playing around with smart contracts and writing bots.

Some people get hurt and you could think the scammer portion outweighs the benefits. But saying there are no benefits is wrong
Overtake a cyclist like you would overtake a car. Move to the next lane. If you can't safely do that, you shouldn't be driving.
