Pixel-perfect alignment is not a hard rule. It's only for a list of homogenous items would they need to be aligned perfectly.

But when the elements are heterogenous, as the screenshot in your link refers to, the human brain does weird thing to what we see, and alignment has to be adjusted for it to "look right".

This is particularly well-known in font design, with things like variable ascender height, cap height, and kerning.

You're describing the status quo since streets were handed over to cars and prioritized over everything else. Bicycle gutters were always something inattentive or malicious drivers cruise into.

That's not to say those yank tanks aren't crazy dangerous; they absolutely are. But getting rid of them doesn't make bicycling safe. Cars as a whole are the hazard.
The aliens' plans were, if I remember right, posted for display in a nearby star system, with a similar 'it's your own fault if you didn't bother to go look' justification.

The indie book series Dungeon Crawler Carl, which is entirely unlike Adams' work in most ways but clearly takes some inspiration from the malevolent absurdity on display, uses a similar premise where the demolition-causing aliens let the pharaohs know 40,000 years ago and that serves as sufficient legal notice.
Not a fan of all this prefixing even if it works most of the time, it's a kludge IMO.

The issue is in the overhead. It's the same for international/domestic flights.

Long-distance trains are more efficient than local trains, because they can be longer (more cars) and don't have to slow down/accelerate all the time.

True, but later on we find that the aliens pulled the same trick with the notice to demolish earth.

It was hilarious what the city council did to Arthur, it was even funnier when a few pages later we find you that the Vorgons did the same thing.
or is it just too physically demanding so
people literally and figuratively tired of it?

Partly that. Playing something like Zelda with motion controls gets insane pretty fast. Think about playing Zelda for an hour and how many sword slashes you do.

Also, existing control methods (gamepads, keyboards, mice) are really good. If you think about it, they are miracles of efficiency and accuracy. Compared to motion controls, you do an order or two of magnitude less work, and in return you get an order or two of magnitude more precision in many cases.

I feel like modern bicycles seem to be optimized for light weight over ease of maintenance and longevity.

Modern bicycles (except new e-bikes with chain guards and internal hub gears) require degreasing and lubing every two weeks, These are not going to be very attractive to people who use other means of transport, because cars don't need this sort of frequent maintenance.

Is it impossible simply opening WF increased crime as it is a perfect shoplifting target? I saw a youtube video linked (sorry lost it, somebody here maybe point it out) where a guy bike touring SF literally pointed out how it was a perfect spot to shoplift and he constantly saw people doing it there.

It's tough to compare what I got with my time to what I missed out on, though, since I can't live those other lives. :)

Again in the US, I know of no papers that I've ever had from a company that guaranteed anything important. You might end up with something guaranteeing moving expenses or something, but they can still fire you on day 1, if you even make it that far.

While some argue that RabbitMQ was misconfigured, I agree with the argument that reducing tech stack complexity is beneficial if a technology does not offer advantages that cannot be achieved with the basic tech stack.

When programming my side hustle I also had the requirement of a SIMPLE queue. I didn't want to introduce AWS SQS or RabbitMQ, so I wrote a few C# classes which where dequeueing from a MongoDB collection. It works pretty well. It basically leverages the atomic MongoDB operation "findAndModify", so you can ensure that dequeueing will find only messages in status "enqueued" and in the same operation sets the status to "processing" so you can ensure that only one reader processes the message. (https://www.mongodb.com/docs/manual/reference/method/db.coll...)

I created a small NuGet package, which you can find here: https://allquiet.app/open-source/mongo-queueing.
I think that nonprofit would be considerably more controversial that PBS and NPR combined. It would have to deal with the abuse prone nature of Twitter - retweets by accounts with large follower count that even slightly hint at retribution cause a dog pile of abuse that can spill over to real life.

And what about bots and info ops? What nonprofit could deal with subtle problems like that? Neither Dorsey era or Elon era Twitter could deal with bots and info ops.

And then there's "freedom of speech", which we've seen is a very odd thing for Twitter and Parler and Gab. Who gets to define it? If you let Nazis advocate and argue, it drives away everyone else.

There's definitely a lot to improve upon. Not only on features but in documentation as you mention.

> But I was taught Europeans didn't covet Indian spices until way later. Why?

No idea why this was taught, but it was untrue. However it is somewhat true that most Europeans couldn't afford many spices until the 1600s, in this is a case where being supply constrained probably kept a cap on demand too.

The rise of Venice in the medieval era was due in large part to their carefully constructed trade monopoly for spices.

> Medieval high society had an insatiable appetite for spiced sauces, sweets, wine, and ale... In Mairano’s era, Venetian traders in London sold a pound of pepper for a sum equivalent to a week’s work for an unskilled laborer.[1]

Venice had agreements with the Ottoman empire for access to spices coming via the Spice Road as well as the rulers of Egypt (sometimes also Ottoman) for spices coming via the Red Sea.

It's true that Portuguese and Spanish exploration was partially fueled by a desire to avoid the Venetian monopoly on spices though:

> Bad news came in 1501, however, when word reached Venetian merchants that the Portuguese navigator Vasco da Gama had sailed around Africa to India, bypassing the Mediterranean and—so it was feared—diverting the flow of pepper away from Venice.

But the demand was always there - it was supply that was constrained.

I don't understand this either. I can tell you that after a decade of advocacy on ag Right to Repair, not once has a manufacturer reached out to us and asked how they could improve repairability. As a Kubota owner, this disappoints me.

Fortunately in the electronics world, we have Framework and Fairphone. And Nokia making noises around improving repairability. Google and even Samsung launching independent parts programs.

One of the ag manufacturers should break off and take the lead. It's not going to be Deere, or Case, or New Holland.

I guess, on a narrow technical basis? But the article is trying to imply SF is “getting worse,” because right wing media believe SF is perpetually “getting worse”, but everyone who actually lives here already knew this is and has been one of the worst neighborhoods in SF.

So, sure, the Whole Foods opening could mean that some of the neighborhood’s crime was happening in the Whole Foods. But nothing about the neighborhood has changed recently that would have caused that.

Should also point out that DA Brooke Jenkins, who is far to the right of every elected official in the city and ran on giving the cops carte blanche to just throw everyone on the street in this neighborhood in jail, has not done anything to change it. And she’s been the DA since the Whole Foods opened. So, I don’t know what that tells you.
I must be doing something terribly wrong. I've had my bike for 7 years now, use it every second day, in all kinds of weather, and I lube it twice a year at best. It ought to be falling apart!

I have my high maintenance carbon road bike, but I also have a belt drive commuter bike. Belt drive bikes with hydraulic disc brakes and internal gear hubs rarely need maintenance, basically just an annual checkup on brake pads, tires, and maybe a brake bleed.

> Modern bicycles (except new e-bikes with chain guards and internal hub gears) require degreasing and lubing every two weeks

Yes and no. Modern 11/12 speed chains maybe, but my commuter (9-spd) gets lube every 4 months or so. Yes, I have to monitor the chain wear and change it every few years, but that’s not very complicated. It goes to the workshop less often than the car.

They’re more expensive, but you can find non-electric bikes with a belt drive and a gearbox or gear hub which are very low maintenance.

I used to play EvE as well, earlier on, and it all eventually got so boring I couldn't continue.

Some of the game mechanics, like scanning with probes, are interesting, but once you figure them out it's all tedium. If you want to PvE in a nice ship, you need to be wary every time you undock. If you want to PvP, you need a source of isk to replace your ship and implants, since every time you go there's a significant chance that clone isn't coming back alive. There's so much effort involved in everything, and very little payoff other than the occasional shot of adrenaline or lootbox find. Which is exactly what they count on. Variable reinforcement, rather than consistent reinforcement.

I got a carrier, started thinking about supercaps, and gradually lost interest in the whole progression due to the logistical effort keeping such things. I suppose I could have tried getting involved in corporate or alliance politics, or I could have switched to trading. However, like the lootboxes, those human elements too are constrained by game dynamics to be predictably unpredictable, and not in very interesting ways. Few long-term real-life friendships come about due to in-game friendships, since almost everyone quits games within a few years. So, due to all of the above, I left.

The best part of the game was hanging out in occasionally good, fun voice chats, but you have to be in a well-organized corp or alliance that runs good ops. Unlike real military-style organizations, though, scheduling makes good ops very difficult. People's ships are in the wrong systems, most of the op is just getting organized, and then, as GP said, you might get ganked at the first nullsec gate you jump through. Oh well, time to rat or mine or trade more to finance another ship and clone, so you can organize another op, which will probably also not be that great other than some fun voice chat moments.

At the end of it all, the other people you're hanging out with in corporations and alliances are there either because they've gotten hooked on the game's adrenaline or lootbox reinforcement mechanisms, or because they have a Machiavellian desire to pull the strings of a corp or alliance, and you're cannon fodder or logistical support, there to be kept happy. Or they're there to figure out an angle to scam or gank you.

EvE is more fun to read about, or think about doing things in, than it is to play.

Non-persistent games, like any good RTS, are more fun because they're lower-stress, and because you can see that you're making progress solely because your skill is improving. In a MMORPG, you're progressing only partly because you're developing more skill at playing, and more because the game company rewards you, in skill or lootbox upgrades, for spending more time in game (or spending money buying isk which lets you buy pre-skilled characters and in-game stuff).
