But still "king of belgium giving a speech to an audience, but the audience members are cucumbers" is very specific.

And I don't see the king of Belgium anywhere, two pictures have absolutely nothing to do with the prompt (no king, no speech, no audience, no cucumber), one has the speech and audience but no king or cucumber. Graphically, they are deep into the uncanny valley. Only the third image is kind of right, if you really stretch your imagination.

Let's keep in mind that the article is from 2010 and the blog post is still up.
Think folks are missing the point here.

The idea of this thread isn’t that bicycles are uniquely singled out for ridicule.

These article snippets all come from a time when the bicycle was just invented and usage was growing fast (eg like any new tech). In fact, I think they were taken from a defunct Twitter account called pessimists archive.

The point is that mass media will always court controversy and bemoan any new change in behavior regardless of what it is.

Those headlines look silly now, but they are the Industrial Revolution’s version of “AI/smartphones/social media/video games/ridesharing/etc are ruining everything” articles.
> In fact, a car coming too close and knocking you off your bike is not a common cause of injury

Interesting question. I just googled for statistics and found some for German cities. In Berlin (2021), the majority (~50%) of accidents involving bicyclists in which the bicyclist was not at fault were caused by cars turning. But "insufficient distance" was still at 5%.
+1, I have been looking for this as well. I'm keeping FB because I'm member of a few groups that really post interesting content.

> car squeezes past you at high speed

many cyclist don't understand this because they are bad drivers

the point of passing a bike on the road is to avoid the danger you as a driver pose for the bike in the case of an unexpected event.

like if the biker falls.

clearing up the way as fast as possible is safer for both.

Doesn't matter who's faster in the end, if that was the purpose, it would suffice for drivers to not respect traffic laws, like many bikers do, for the exact purpose of arriving to the destination sooner.

Of course you are faster if your parking technique involves blocking the road for pedestrian, especially hadicapped people, like this

or this

(real pictures in Milan one of the cities where bikes are more popular in Italy and they have become a problem for everyone else)

the point is also that bikers should be in charge of their own safety, if a road is very narrow they are voluntarily endangering themselves for no reason, no other road user should be responsible for your safety more than you!

that also apply to motorbikes, mopeds, scooters etc

which are harder to drive because they rely on the gyroscope effect and only.have two wheels, they do not stand in case of sudden stop, the user can only fall or be shoot forward with grave consequences.

so they should care for their life more than a driver that is protected by the car case.

I wish I could show you the suicidal moves tourists make in my city (Rome) while riding electric scooters, two people, while the regulation says only one person can ride them, in the middle of high speed roads, with no knowledge of how the traffic works in a city they do not know, like it's OK to be idiots trying to die (and possibly ruin the life of someone else who happens to cross their path on a motor vehicle)

Not saying people shouldn't use alternatives means of transport, I do.not drive often anymore, I walk

As a pedestrian bikes are much more disruptive than cars for me, even though I'd like to ban cars from every city center in Italy.

> 40% of non-cyclists in London say the danger of cycling is a significant factor in their decision not to cycle.

people make a lot of excuses when confronted with something that they do not want to do.

if they asked them why they do not exercise they would say that they have no time due to work or that the water of the pool is too cold, but the real reason is that they prefer the couch with Netflix.

we should never take those polls too seriously.
As someone previously said as soon as you get de-platformed: "Be nice" [0] to your Big Tech overlords.

They know it is not 'your' account anyway. Given how they are going down the path of a tech dystopia, its probably for the best that your account was permanently suspended as they can choose who to give a platform to or do business with.

Now that they have de-plaformed you, they have made it much easier for you to stop using their service as this can happen to anyone.

So you should "Be nice" and once you have been de-platformed, you should still be very happy that they did.

Tech Roles
This was true for me, but now days it almost never happen. What changed was that my route got a serious upgrade, with lower speed intersections, better yield signs for everyone. All it took was a well thought out plan for all the streets with bicycle traffic.

But yeah when I am not on my daily commute you still get that kind of behaviour.
This is very interesting (and impressive work). I've been thinking for quite some time that it would be very useful to have a local map server for offline use.

A lot of applications need to show data related to location (e.g.: a photo app might want to show a map of where a photo was taken). Having a local service to resolve these would be superb.

I know this product has a different goal, but I wonder if the backend side of it could actually fill in this role. Essentially exposing location/mapping services to local applications.
What specifically about that statement implies that I have an attitude that tends towards being dangerous on the road?

I'm not saying that I'll be driving at inappropriate speeds or trying to tail-gate other cars or god-forbid cyclists on mountain roads. I prefer to keep my distance, especially around cyclists. All I'm saying is that it'd be nice if the slower traffic in front would actively let the faster traffic pass, using the turnouts or whatever they're called to stop and let others pass.
createAction #1 #2

This is a disaster part of typescript that will doom you all. Through years and languages I made an observation, and it is:

If you give a way for smart people to create a horrible mess, they will internalize it eventually.

Sendmail.cf, template meatprogramming, #define hell, etc. Typescript “type manipulation” is one of these ways. It may seem very cool that you can define base types and then extend and reshape them in derivatives all you want. But types are not about solving puzzles in one go declaratively, they are about helping developers to understand which code may be incorrect. There is nothing wrong with declaring all the derivatives by copying type code and modifying it, because if there’s inconsistency, it will be caught later in tests, in interfaces, in your own code. Yes you create a dynamic structure of types, but it goes beyond human limits to understand or debug it.

One way to fix that is “type assertions”, based on the same principle. E.g. instead of declaring type B as a programmatic derivative of type A (and/or/with dozen of type metaprogramming routines), you just write B as it is and then assert that B maps to A as designed. Or make an IDE do this for you automatically. These assertions will still be hard to read, but the resulting type B will remain both understandable and correct.

Also, separately, please stop making polymorphic interfaces like “if you pass an object with key X after an object with key Y, that means mode of operation A, otherwise it’s mode B unless there is an array of numbers before the argument of type T, then it’s mode C”. They may look cool in readme.md, but are hard to remember and work with on both sides of an interface.
I was thinking what proportion of red-light-running (by cyclists) is because they don't want to lose momentum, and whether that will be improved with e-bikes.
Cultural Intuition
Is that really in-line with reality though?

Cycling was becoming quite common in the UK and it was actively suppressed by urban planning because the stance was that "it was for the poors" and car travel (a newer mode of transport) was much preferred because it was luxurious.

Honestly, having tried Lufthansa, Ryanair and Swissair within the last 9 months, I expect either bailouts or bankruptcies for non-low cost carriers in Europe. IMO the "medium" flying experience has completely evaporated, you either settle for bad quality for cheap(i.e just get me there) or pay insane amounts to fly private/first class. Problem is that a lot of the flights that are now lowcost quality are still being priced like it is a medium quality flight, and at least from personal conversations flyers are no longer willing to bite.
That said I did hear only positive things about Eastern European carriers(LOT especially), so maybe they will take over.
I really hope they don't follow the rustc 'OO' style of defining passes as traits. Pattern matching gives incredible tools for compiler pass writing, and the ideology of Rust compilers is ripe for being brought into the fold of OCAML-style compiler patterns.
Regulation of CCTV generally takes the approach that there's a substantial difference between you standing there with a camera and CCTV because you standing there with a camera produces a substantially different level of signal that people are being observed.

Your right to take the footage is in competition with peoples right to a reasonable level of privacy even in public spaces, as there is a huge difference between being seen by someone, being filmed by someone when they happen to be there, and being constantly filmed by automated systems that may or may not be appropriately controlled to ensure images are not spread.

The approach taken tends to vary between outlawing it or allowing it with restrictions, including making you subject to retention and subject access policies.

E.g. in the UK, which is notorious for the amounts of CCTV, you can cover public areas if necessary, but you then need to be prepared to delete footage of people on request, respond to subject access requests, ensure the footage is kept securely, ensuring the footage is deleted regularly, and restrict access to the footage. You also need to be able to provide - in writing if requested - legitimate reasons for doing so. Here's the ICO's advice page on the subject[1]

> Visual scripting is a dead end.

Tell that to the Blender team and their "everything nodes" project... When done right it allows artists and non programmers to write programs.

https://docs.blender.org/manual/en/latest/modeling/geometry_...

Another popular project is animation nodes

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UB8R_xPpaSc

These are alternatives to Python in Blender.

So no, it's not a dead end, it depends on how it is implemented. Node based programming is essentially functional programming. But for it to be useful one needs both low level nodes along side higher level nodes that are immediately useful for artists.

>not fitting in either of the two historically present transport modes.

Bicycles were invented first, cars came later. It's the cars that don't fit. They're too big and too dangerous.

Next time you go outside, take a look around you and count all the gizmos and contrivances that litter the streets, all of which are for cars or because of cars or to protect from cars. Traffic lights, painted crossings, bollards, metal protective barriers, pedestrian islands, bike lanes, parking spaces, speed cameras, on and on it goes.

We only need all this ugly junk because of cars. We've trained ourselves not to see it, like a hoarder who doesn't properly see his piles of clutter.

When it's just pedestrians, bikes, and maybe a tram or two, it's amazing how tidy and calm a street can be.

Threats of Blackouts Drive Japan to Embrace Nuclear Again
A number of reasons:

- bikes aren't registered, very few are marked and second hand buyers never ask for papers and proof of purchase
- Locks that can defeat battery power tools for more than a few seconds weight like boat anchors and you wouldn't want them on your bike.
- market is such that you can steal a bike and swap it bike for money the same day
- it is easy to steal 10-15 bikes, load them into a van and sell them in a city 500km away.

I wish people would stop buying bikes without asking for a proof of purchase. It should be mandatory that any purchase of a bicycle should include a paper with a copy of ID/Passeport and addresses of buyer/seller and the serial number of the frame.

That's what I did. I set to do it in two phases.

phase 1: use smartphone along with dumb phone. Smartphone was without SIM card and comms, it still had all the offline capable applications like camera, gps, navigation, etc. Instant messaging was now on laptop.

phase 2: Ditch smartphone. And use dumb phone only. Learn to navigate like old times with paper maps ( for use in other countries ) and reading road signs.
The sad thing is that at least some part of the growth of vehicles on the road is because few people can afford to own (and park) multiple cars or other vehicles larger than a bike.

I have to move 3 kids and 2 adults regularly over longer distances, so I am pretty much constrained to a van (say a VW T7). But unfortunately, I cannot afford to accompany this expensive car with a smaller, preferrably electric, vehicle. So whenever I have to switch off the bike and move something or someone by car, I switch to the van directly. Car sharing is pretty much uneconomical at that point and a motorcycle or even a cargo bike is problematic due to space constraints.
Well... I'm both a pedestrian and biker (and I generally use a car when outside my city) and honestly, I find it normal for pedestrians to give priority to bikes.

It's just a lot more energy expensive to stop and start again for a bike, while it is essentially free for a pedestrian.

As a pedestrian I always try to avoid making bikes stop unnecessarily, and most people seem to do the same here, even if pedestrians technically have priority. Most people here are also bikers at times, so I suppose they understand this better than pedestrians in places where bikes are seen as something special/annoying/for other people.

And if a pedestrian has no sidewalk?
Yeah, I never try to time lights like that anymore, I’ve seen so many cars blow red lights. I always proceed slowly and look both ways for one coming at a fresh green, whether on bike or in car.

I’ve had a similar experience walking, I was in the middle of a crosswalk on a four lane road by the time a dozen teenagers blew through their red light, popping wheelies on gold plated BMXs, cars screeching in the middle of the intersection to avoid hitting them. I almost yelled at the first one that went by me thinking they were the only one, but was very glad I didn’t when all the others passed around me. One of the wildest things I’ve seen in a city.

With the right algebra (PGA2D which adds an additional dimension whose unit vector squares to 0), rigid body physics simulation with collision detection/response can be implemented in < 50 lines of Javascript: https://bivector.net/PGADYN.html

Basically in PGA2D, rotations, angular velocity/acceleration, torque etc automatically get handled by geometric product of multivectors. The additional dimension makes all rotations centered at origin, which makes them compose much more nicely.
I lived in rural towns most of my life, never owned a car. I wasn't the only one, and i still have friends there whose most used transportation system is bike (either that or tractor).

Also buses are great there if you can organize yourself.

I'd wager it has more to do with portability than anything else.

Stealing a car is an order of magnitude more difficult than stealing a bike. A bike can be stolen in seconds (even with the best locks). Stealing a locked car with modern anti-theft protection will likely take minutes for even the most skilled thief.
Electric vehicles are terrible for racing. All your arguments are things that don't even exist yet. I'm not a motorhead, I'm trying to be unbiased.

The Tesla is absolutely not ready for Nurburgring laps. It did a quick time but that's just marketing. Tesla's are not race ready. Again, the brakes suck, they are terrible, dangerously so. The battery will overheat and you can't do more than one lap.

Again, currently, EV is still far behind to be competitive to ICE for racing.

"6. Drivers must not drive at such a low speed that they constitute an obstruction or danger to the normal flow of traffic." [machine translated]

https://www.aci.it/i-servizi/normative/codice-della-strada/t...
Precisely. See this same trend with online shopping, social media, and app-based food delivery. If they sucked, they wouldn't be so ubiquitous. But they are.
Like many things in society it's not entirely objective. It depends on the situations of the parties involved.

Take two hypothetical tenants. One is a young software developer earning $15k/mo, the other a retired widow on a fixed pension of $3k/mo. The social reaction to either party's rent being raised from $1k/mo to $2.5k/mo is going to be very different.

> your choices are to maximize its net present value or to price the lease under the market in order to benefit someone else

This leaves out the fact that in the majority of cases the lessor is benefiting either way. It's purely the extent to which they benefit that changes.

> Greed is an easy label to assign until until you have to get concrete about it.

All sorts of labels are difficult to assign objectively. What matters is personal opinion and societal consensus. Both of those are fluid and have changed throughout history.

The problem of dangerous interactions between drivers and cyclists is much smaller here in the Netherlands, mainly due to two reasons.

The first reason is the infrastructure, both visible and invisible. Separated bicycle lanes are commonplace and in the few places where they intersect with car traffic, care is taken to make crossing safe and comfortable. This visible infrastructure is complemented by the concept of "Hoofdnetten", where the default routes to some place for different modes of transportation coincide for the least amount of time/space. For example, going somewhere by bike might take you through a residential neighborhood with barely any traffic, which is also slowed by speed bumps and narrowed streets, whereas buses will use a bus lane taking a slightly longer route, and car traffic has to go all the way around.

The second reason is that here, everyone is a cyclist. Going for groceries? Five minute bike ride, much easier and quicker than going by car. Kids cycle to school alone from a young age. Going out for drinks? Bike.
Because everyone is a cyclist and there are cyclists everywhere, cyclists are equal participants in traffic and are treated with care and respect.
No - as someone who has cycled extensively in London, it is very obviously not the case that drivers are squeezing past cyclists out of a desire to keep them safe. It’s a pretty laughable idea.

The vast majority of drivers are actually totally fine and courteous on the road. But when a moderate cycle can take you past literally hundreds of cars, even a tiny percentage of discourteous drivers can make the whole experience of cycling extremely unpleasant.
> Is the VR a compelling upgrade over the 2D experience?

It's honestly hard to go back? When I tried it in DCS for the first time, it was pretty blown away. You can actually see that cockpit dials are recessed into the cockpit, you can see exactly how big the space is (smaller than it feels in 2D!) and just looking around you makes for much much more immersive experience.

There are downsides though - clicking stuff is harder. The resolution is lower. The fps usually suffers. The whole setup is finnicky with a lot of cables. It costs a lot of money.

But for flight sim enthusiasts? It's a massive experience upgrade for a still reasonable cost (considering that HP G2 headset costs about the same as quality Virpil HOTAS set).
Why would they use forEach? Is that criteria that your code is more modern? Or by forEach you mean: "for (const entity of entities) {...}"?
The popularity of the bicycle predates the rise of the automobile by a few decades.

None of the article snippets in the linked thread even mention the existence of automobiles.

But don’t worry, I’m certain these same type of articles were written about automobiles as well during their rise in the early 1900s.
