> Most cyclists think they can ride a bike and it's the cars.

The consequences of riding a bike badly are much lower. 10kg bike vs 1500kg car? ~14mph cyclist vs ~30mph+ car?

> I've never been in an accident that was my fault in my career as a driver, than now spans 3 decades.

That doesn't say _anything_ about whether your driving caused an adverse reaction from other road users. Merely that there was nothing severe enough to legally mark you as 'at fault'.

> people are people, people make mistakes, people who think cars are dangerous for bikes usually aren't aware how shitty as cyclists they are, I'm sure they are bad drivers too.

Cars _are_ dangerous. Cars cut across cyclists path (hence why the UK highway code received clarification/updates this year). Cars pass without enough space and clip cyclists (which you just seem to completely ignore and think it's "safe enough" and "the bloody safe-space demanding cyclists' fault").

> Riding is dangerous, do it at your own risk, but nobody is really trying to kill you, because you are not that important.

Riding, in general, isn't dangerous. For the average cyclist who is using it for commuting, and _maybe_ getting up to ~20kmh? Other than slick road surfaces from spilled oil or deep rain puddles or ice, there's not much that would cause random danger.

> have you noticed that in motor sports at 300km/h nobody dies while every year in professional bike competitions someone dies or injure himself badly? Because bikes are dangerous.

Road racing, where the racers are travelling in bunches of 40 cyclists at average speeds of 30mph, deliberately taking risks to try to win, is _nothing at all_ like typical road use for a commuting cyclist. You seem determined to strawman cyclists, and think that cyclists should just accept dangerous roads. You seem utterly unwilling to accept that car drivers can be a significant danger.

I accept that there can be bad cyclists. I shake my head if I see one jump a traffic light. How much of your perception of cyclists is just because you _expect_ car drivers to be bad, and whatever way they behave is just 'typical' so doesnt stand out to you...but when you see a cyclist it's obviously different, so much more memorable? In the UK there were more than 150,000 road traffic accidents in 2019. In Italy, around 190,000. That suggests to me there is a lot of bad driving.

My general position is that most road users (not just cars) are incredibly entitled and so we should figure out ways (such as the Netherlands' road design) that make everyone's life better, rather than just accepting things are shit and saying "suck it up and find a safe space".
What a load of absolute nonsense.

I have personally coded a system for legal billing, had a variety of direct dealings with the legal system (contracts, etc.), and I live in a household with an attny at a top firm.

I've been surprised by a good number of counter-intuitive things in the law, such that the general rule I've heard repeatedly is that we cannot reason about the law without actually looking at the code in that particular instance — go look it up. This strongly resembles software code - we can assume a bunch of things about how something works, but to really find out, we must read the source code or trace it — go look it up.

Yet I have not found or even heard of a single instance of anything that would remotely qualify as the kind of "dirty tricks" or "exclusivity" you cite.

Every single unexpected or counterintuitive thing I've found, once I dig into it, is actually makes sense in terms of history, e.g., this seemingly odd rule of civil procedure is in place to prevent [bad_stuff] from happening which happened before, and from nearly 250 years of law in the US and 450 in some states, some serious cruft has accumulated, and could use some updating.

This is NOT to say that some laws aren't unreasonable, and to that we need to look to politics, not some "trickery to maintain legal pay".

I should also point out that the legal profession has not artificially limited the supply of lawyers as the medical profession has done by limiting accreditation of professionals. The result is that there are huge numbers of law school graduates, who even pass the bar exam, who literally cannot make a living as lawyers, and being offered $20/hour (literally) to work in some suburban law office with the hiring attny acting like it's a great offer.

And watching from up close and inside it, the idea that 'just because you can read means that you should be able to practice law', is utter nonsense. This has NOTHING to do with any kind of alleged "dirty tricks", and EVERYTHING to do with the inherent complexity that arises from the situation. Just because you can write a "Hello World" app in your favorite language does not mean that you can design and build an ACID-compliant accounting system & database, or even know that concurrency issues exist and what to do about them.

So, the actual facts on the ground are that attnys have not done the kind of exclusivity and dirty tricks that you cite, and in any case, they haven't managed to keep the wages in their profession high.

So just because you have an attitude, does not mean that it is justified.

Stop spouting nonsense.
True, maybe faster, but there are considerations other than speed at play. Responders have to make decisions quickly about the best way to gain entry depending on the situation. Paraphrasing from the NYC Fire Department forcible entry guide, discussed here[0] earlier this week:

- Broken glass creates an additional safety hazard for rescue workers, people being rescued, and people cleaning up afterward.

- Breaking the glass would greatly increase cost of repairs for the building owner/insurance (professionalism)

- A door without the glass is harder to secure afterward ("Who will provide security for the occupancy after you leave?")

The way I would put it is that he's been attempting to erect a reality distortion field to distract from that fact it will take much longer than he predicts to achieve some of his more distant goals. And that RDF basically means promising things that can't be delivered, for some time.

I almost bought a tesla a year ago based on the idea FSD was going to work at some point in the future but after Elon announced some last minute hardware changes to my model's radar (removing it), and I read about all the steps you should perform at pickup, I went and bought a toyota instead.
I think a lot of people need to relax. It's just a little nudge to help remind you to think a little more about the actions you take.
The other theory is that helmet laws reduce casual cycling by adding an impediment to just hoping on and going. And that those short trips to the strore tend to be safer.

Personally my wife can't find a helmet that fits, Asians have rounder heads and north American helmet manufacturers are oblivious. As a result we never cycle.
The hardware is stopping then.

People on HN always complain about this. But the reality is that the one time payment you (maybe) gave for Plex is not enough to make a viable company. So they have to offer complementary products and for that you need an online account.

Normal people also want to have features like remote streaming, subtitles fetching, familly sharing, etc which are hard to do without centralized accounts. Not even mentionning securing your paid features which you have to do to survive. And that customer doesn't care about the login as long as it is up.

I don't anything plex could do to please this particular demand would ever be enough so for me they do well to ignore it since removing that would effectively kill their business.
> its fans are almost uniformly hostile toward any measure that could make it easier to adopt.

Do you have an example exhibiting what you mean here?

I would self-describe as a fan of Rust, but I also think I'm pretty realistic about its limitations and that every language has its niche. I will say that as far as miracles go, being the most-loved language on SO for seven years seems like a bit of a (minor) miracle here, and at about 87% loved vs Python's 67%, it's not exactly eking out a win. It'll take time for it to grow in market share, but it seems likely it's on its way, given that it is, for example, breaking into the Linux codebase - something C++ wasn't able to do.
I'm sure it is, no doubt its easier to pick an existing language than build a whole new one.

For me however, the benefits of an existing language outweigh the costs. If Godot were to use Python for example, you'd gain the full benefit of pip alongside it. If you use C# with Godot, I know you can use Nuget. I'd also personally rather a more performant language than one thats easier to write, but thats personal preference.

I've worked in the cable TV industry in the past. For the most part, the cable companies have little control over the channel bundles, they really wouldn't mind offering a la carte options, but they are forced themselves to get channels in bundles from the content owners. Much of this has changed in recent years with NBC/Comcast and Charter owning more of the source content, but a lot of the other channels are sill provided by outside companies, who do not want to unbundle them.
This doesn't surprise me and matches my own experience. Rust literally makes a codebase nearly void of most bug classes with the exception of logic bugs (Unfortunately, in a huge codebase, there can still be tons and tons of logic bugs).

Still, when I migrated my Python codebase to Rust I got rid of whole classes of bugs and honestly code faster in Rust on a "per debugged line of code" basis. In Python, every line MUST be run or could trigger an exception (and so many do and it is hard to see). This now requires a test harness that tests every single line which is a huge pain. In Rust, the things that can obviously panic are pretty easy to see and are limited (unwrap, expect, indexing, etc.) making it much easier to write robust code, even with a more limited test suite.
> What is the point here? Let them all in in case one of them makes a unicorn?

The point is that if a talented engineer has to go back home because becoming a permanent resident takes over ten years, and the H-1B system is a literal gamble, then the US immigration policy has failed.

> This is rock people thinking on the level of "every aborted baby could have become the next Mozart".

The difference being that we know that visa holders are already talented, and maybe they wouldn't build the next unicorn, but their work provides a net benefit to the economy.

If anything, it would be overall better for the economy to kick out all the underperformers, regardless of their nationality, and let H-1B holders in.
Go to any Facebook business page and so many reviews are clearly from fake profiles—-people who have no friends, no activity, and only have a picture of a dog or sunset for their profile picture. Facebook is really going downhill.
Agreed about the other disparities. But I don't think you'll find one starker than abortion.

The right to bodily autonomy is not absolute. If it were, you could (morally) deliberately drop someone you where holding off the side of a cliff. After all, they don't have a right to your arm. (But they do in this circumstance).

It's incorrect to say PoW miners can censor transactions.

With PoS, the big players control the small players. If the minority doesn't play along, their funds will be slashed by the procotol. If 66% of validators censor you, your transaction will never be finalized.

With PoW, the big players cannot coerce the small players in any way. Everyone independently controls their own blocks. If 66% of miners censor you, your transaction will merely take 3x as long to be confirmed.
I'd say it comes down to how diverse your clients and your media library are. Plex can transcode your content on the server and then stream it to clients, which means the clients don't necessarily have to be powerful. Kodi is more of a file browser, it just opens the content from whatever storage and plays it directly.

I feel compelled to ask, how much time have you spent experiencing the reality of cycling yourself?
I guess the problem with plugins is that you can only ever get a small subset of the community. For example, if I wanted to figure out how to create a new object instance in Unreal, I'd have to look pretty hard for Angelscript specific examples. Whereas if its native, presumably it'd reach a lot more people and the community would be larger for it (not always the case, but a fairly safe assumption)
The goal there is not to provide a precise schedule, but define budget, agree (plan) to what end the time of people in the team (capacity) will be used. By connecting to such systems, you might gain accuracy, but you won't gain useful precision.
I don’t know, in my opinion an advanced IDE is sort of that - I don’t think of IntelliJ’s text as notepad’s - it is more an AST in textual form as per the language’s grammar.

My human brain is very fast at parsing that to a tree based on visual cues, while the program does the same constantly - syntax highlighting is important exactly for this reason, if it is colorful, it parsed correctly, that’s the feedback between machine and human.

Even manipulations are AST-level, I expand the selection based on that, etc. It just has a very fast, “invisible” node-edit mode where you can just type a few characters to change the function node’s name.
I use GitHub to journal ideas in the open, see my profile.

You can create a private GitHub repository and simply create a README.md and have a # 24/08/2022 (markdown heading) for each hour, part of day, day or week or month depending how often you journal.

Then add to the top or the end of the journal. Journalling should be something you go to enjoy and unwind and get your thoughts out. It's similar to pulling a piece of string and letting go, it feels cathartic.

You can also interrogate your thoughts and ask WHO WHAT WHEN WHERE WHY recursively for each thought and get to the bottom of things and undergo introspection.

This is a terrible comparison because no one has to buy all those services and in fact few do. The problem with cable was, regardless if you wanted it you got almost everything, particularly the most expensive package ESPN, whether you watched sports or not.

Also, in Los Angeles, without any premium channels we have always paid more than $80.
Wouldn't those with ownership in a system be best trusted with the self-interest of such a system? That seems to be the best alignment of incentives.
"Despite the improvements listed above, in a 2014 interview, CJ Date said “we didn’t realize how truly awful SQL was or would turn out to be (note that it’s much worse now than it was then, though it was pretty bad right from the outset).” This quote leaves me wondering – if Date himself were to write an updated critique, what would it look like? My best guess is most of his criticism would revolve around further departures of SQL from the relational model, but specific examples escape me."

I am not sure how the author has missed the copious amount of material that Date (& Darwin) wrote on this topic? The obvious one being the Third Manifesto (whole book available here [1] since it's out of print now). But even "Database in Depth" [2] has extensive discussion about this despite being a less "opinionated" and "ranty" book (highly recommended BTW)

Yes, not explicitly updated since 2014, but there's really nothing new to say since then?

Date is definitely concerned about the departures from the relational model in SQL. But it's (EDIT) not just about purism. He's also pretty in general peaved off at SQL for similar concerns that the author presents here about syntax and expressiveness. Third Manifesto's "tutorial D" mandates the addition of a richer type system, including higher level types that match on relation constraints, and "operators" (similar to OO methods) on those types; basically a kind of predicate dispatch.

I imagine he's pretty sick of being ignored.

If that's the case then presumably getting hit by a Nissan Leaf at the same speed is just as bad and the whole premise is bullshit?

I haven't seen one in person for a while but but a Chevy Suburban is practically flat until 4ft off the ground. A Dacia Sandero isn't nearly that tall. I find it hard to believe that it is the same as a Sandero at least at potentially survivable speeds around 30mph.

Summary:
The human face is one of the most visible features of our unique identity as individuals. Interestingly, monozygotic twins share almost identical facial traits and the same DNA sequence but could exhibit differences in other biometrical parameters. The expansion of the world wide web and the possibility to exchange pictures of humans across the planet has increased the number of people identified online as virtual twins or doubles that are not family related. Herein, we have characterized in detail a set of “look-alike” humans, defined by facial recognition algorithms, for their multiomics landscape. We report that these individuals share similar genotypes and differ in their DNA methylation and microbiome landscape. These results not only provide insights about the genetics that determine our face but also might have implications for the establishment of other human anthropometric properties and even personality characteristics.

Apologies if I get this incorrect, I'm an amateur, but I have read about the design - the slashers will likely be few and centralized, but that's not disastrous because the slashers must provide proof of wrong doing to cause someone's ETH to get "slashed". That is, they're likely to be centralized (though they don't have to be! I believe anyone can be one) but they have to prove to everyone that something should be slashed in order to do so, so you don't have to trust the centralized part. Does that make sense?
Well, yes and no.

- I care about injuries other than just fatalities

- Non-fatal injuries due to being hit by cyclists are underreported

- Those statistics are for all of NYC - the pedestrian experience in much of the Bronx, Brooklyn and Queens, and all of Staten Island is similar to the pedestrian experience in suburbs - and I'd agree there my danger is greater from cars.

- Those statistics pre-date the dramatic rise of e-bikes on the streets of Manhattan
