I think there are a lot of suggestions already given like lower the pace, ebikes, bring a fresh shirt, there are rain clothes you can put over your clothes.

But it's also about your destination and what is expected. Most of my destinations are people I like to meet or places I like to be at. A fancy restaurant or business meeting doesn't happen that often. Have you seen people at museums ;)

The Netherlands and Denmark are generally not that hot. I also think Dutch working culture has been influenced by people cycling to work. Clothes that fit the weather are more accepted. There might also be some bias to what kind of work you do opposed to what type of work is actually happening. A lot of people do work that will make you sweat more over the day than a short bike ride.

I agree that option is in the possibility space. However, I don't think it is likely that a wide majority of drivers oppose it, given the support from so many legislators & the lack of that opposition being voiced in local news articles. Given this evidence and the lack of any opposing evidence (but feel free to present some!), I feel comfortable saying the ordinance is at least not wildly unpopular among drivers.
Happy inhouse developer does wonders for marketing your developer tool
At first, some of the developer marketing things aren't so obvious until you unlock them. Especially if you don't have any real prior developer experience.
And I don't need to tell you that devs hate marketers now, do I? :)

However, devs ldo like to experiment, and if you give them access to what you are building in places they trust, it can go really good. The obvious lesson from what I'm about to tell you is probably - to use your in-house devs to gain insights and knowledge (provided you have good ones and they have the time).

As a marketer, I know that VS Code exists, but I was unaware of a whole marketplace that exists for VS Code Extensions.

One of our devs uses VS Code a lot, and he suggested building an extension for one of Treblle's products (API Insights). He did it, we researched, figured out the best way to present it on the VS Code marketplace, and we ended up in the marketplace's trending area for 10 days or so - gaining over 600 downloads of the product.

If you have the opportunity to build an extension for your own product, I definitely recommend it - it's great exposure the one of the world's biggest dev communities.

According to the 2022 StackOverflow survey, VS Code is the most popular IDE used by developers. That is one of the reasons we wanted to make API Insights even more accessible to developers who use it to work on APIs.

I know this might seem super obvious to devs here, but for non-devs it's not. It's easy to say "just tap into your devs habits", meaning, how do they find things, what do they use on a daily, weekly or monthly basis? But often, people don't see their normal day-to-day work habits as something that can help marketers out - in reality, it's a goldmine of ideas.

So, making a very friendly working environment where a creative dev can suggest and execute their own ideas (this came directly from a dev that uses VS Code as I said), might be the best thing you do for your tool/platform or whatever it is you are building for developers/engineers.

It can, in this case our body can swap the "dangly bits" of cholesterol to something different like vitamin D. Aside from this, it also depends on the receptor in question.

> As long as the called functions are fully async-signal-safe/reentrant.

That is not accurate. If I have a single-threaded program sitting around a ppoll(2) loop and a signal can arrive only inside my main loop ppoll(), then I know a priori that my signal handler can't be interrupting non-reentrant code and so I can call whatever I want inside it.

> It used to be even more sensitive, in that not all register state was correctly saved/restored on Linux.

Don't confuse architectural flaws with implementation bugs. I'm reminded of an argument on emacs-devel in which someone argued that we couldn't call malloc(3) in a multi-threaded program because one beta version of glibc once had a thread safety bug in the malloc implementation.

> SIGBUS is a POSIX-way to deal with mmap truncation, but sealed memfds can be used to avoid the issue altogether.

Sealing a file descriptor doesn't physically seal a USB key into a USB port. :-) You also get SIGBUS on IO failures on mmaped files, and surprise removal is an IO failure. There's really no alternative to a synchronous signal here --- a regular file being mmap()ed isn't a userfaultfd.

IMHO, I think it's crying shame that Hotspot (last time I checked --- maybe it's fixed?) doesn't watch for SIGBUS on access to MappedByteBuffer and translate surprise USB device file removal into a nice clear VM-level exception.

Even for cases for which userfaultfd can work, a synchronous signal can be more efficient because it involves just one entry into the kernel. (sigreturn is optional.) I'd really hate to give up the conventional signal mechanism entirely, although of course I approve of things like signalfd and userfault that reduce the need for signal handling.
It's quite cold a lot of the time in Northern Europe, and people who are cycling to commute there often really aren't going very fast so won't sweat much.

You can also get "moisture wicking" clothes, that might help with a certain amount of sweat.

There is quite a lot of e-bike use in Amsterdam and Copenhagen. Google "bakfiets" - it's a whole "suburban parents with a family size e-bike" cliche (but a good one!).
What point am I missing? What jobs will these drivers work now that they can't drive for Uber or Lyft?

Whatever your response is, they had the opportunity to work that job before and made the deliberate decision to drive for Uber and Lyft instead. My point, that you're missing, is that there was no coercion in this decision between driving for ride share versus the alternative. And you're somehow trying to argue that depriving these drivers of the choice to work for Uber and Lyft and forcing them into the alternative that they previously judged an inferior opportunity is somehow a good thing.

Your point about people working to avoid starvation applies just as much to whatever job these ex-drivers are going to be working instead. These drivers judged that these jobs were worse than driving for ride share, but apparently you think you know better than them despite having zero knowledge about their priorities and life situation.

You edited your comment after my response:

> Uber and Lyft were exploiting that for their own gain, and ran away from the corrective action because they think they have the power to bully it away to maintain their gain at the level of which they've become accustomed.

How were Uber and Lyft bullying drivers? Again, you seem to be claiming that drivers were somehow coerced into driving for ride share apps instead of seeking alternative employment. But you've yet to explain how this bullying was perpetrated. What was Lyft and Uber doing to keep drivers from working at Starbucks or some other job?

I doubt a company would be willing to deliberately risk losing sales by testing a worse version. AB tests are great in theory, but in practice, to test the current slow system against a faster one, you have to do the optimization work which the test is supposed to justify. That’s why AB testing is often used for quick wins, pricing points or purchase flows, but rarely the big costly questions.

Surveys could be used to explain the bounce rate, but getting feedback from people who leave is one of the hardest the recruit well for. Usability tests could help with that though.

If you want to truly have an aneurism (wow, I can't believe I spelled that correctly on the first try! I was sure the computer would have to correct me.), read The Cuckoo's Egg, by Cliff Stoll. It might be the first book about hacking; it was published in the 80s. You might recognize the name of a well-known Unix engineer at a government agency as they try to track the hacker's origin.

Anyway, as you alluded, everything was wide open. The author ponders the amount of trust that was accepted at the time. Nothing surprising, but it still made me say, "wtf" to myself as I read it. Very low skill was needed at the time, relative to modern systems. I guess this is why social engineering is such an effective pathway today.
MacOS is the worst OS on planet.

And unlike any other laptop, where you can just remove hard drive and save your data, this is not possible on Apple devices, because HDD cannot be removed... Also since 14.x in on my laptop, it restarts EVERY SINGLE DAY. I also have a lot of other issues, but I will not write a book here. This was the last time I bought something from Apple.

> especially for pedestrians as cyclists are less annoying than drivers

As an American pedestrian I find cyclists far worse on average than drivers. They far more often ignore traffic signs and I have seen multiple collisions including one that looked quite serious, though luckily no fatalities.

On a per person basis my personal annoyance scale goes subway riders have least impact, followed by busses, normal pedestrians, cars, joggers, then cyclists at the top. Obviously cars are quite dangerous but they are more predictable. Bikes and joggers seem to spend a lot of time looking at traffic not who they are going to run into.

Edit: To be clear I think this would improve as more average people start cycling.

> That's great, but kind of obvious that if you build out dedicated bike lanes, cyclists are more likely to prefer them to alternate routes.

Not really, here in Poland there are new bike lanes, but they go far from the city, so if you need to commute you end up going around the city to finish in a bottleneck when you are approaching the center. So, want it or not, you end up using the alternate routes.
Lots of money has been successfully spent on convincing Americans that car ownership directly makes them more free. Car == freedom

This is sorta true in part (in some places) because other options like walk/bike/bus/train have been so disinvested that in many places you really do need to own a car to get around with any level of dignity.

It does seem to be changing on larger US cities though, so I’m hopeful.

Again, from the perspective of users, the experience got worse only after websites decided for themselves to add annoying cookie banners. Not after the regulation.

That is a request between you and them (the websites), unless you're talking about legislating a banner-less opt-out, or maybe just willing to file a complaint against the website with a data protection authority, if the banner is already illegally annoying.

Websites have the right to annoy their users with cookie popups, with or without the GDPR (ironically , the GDPR actually has some protections here, websites simply break the law). Unfortunately, it seems many are choosing to exercise that right because they make money doing so.

> I just don't get it and I don't think I can get along with people who wants to put us all on bicycles and I don't think people who want to get us all on bicycles could get along with me. And I'm fine with that.

You are creating a strawman though, people like me want urbanites/city dwellers to become cyclists because it's better for everyone living in a city.

If you live in a rural area where you need to go 10-20km to find a grocery store, yeah, it's not that practical to only rely on a bike. If you live in a dense-ish city where you can bike some 15 minutes to get to almost all of your daily needs, and with a 30 min ride you can get to 80% of your needs in a year then yeah, I will try to convince you that a bike is more practical for your day-to-day than driving the odd 3-4 km to get somewhere (and paying for parking, fuel, polluting the city, etc.), it's just stupid to drive this short if you don't really need it (e.g.: carrying big/heavy loads, being disabled, etc.).

It's odd to see this kind of overreaction to something that simply is better for your health, for the other residents of the city. It's odd to see how defensive car-centric people get by the suggestion that maybe more people cycling, and governments taking action to create infrastructure for it, will be overall better for a city. Even if you prefer to drive it'll be better for you.

Just don't create a strawman to distill your reactionary take, it always sounds like a whining child feeling their toy will be taken away... That's not the point.

The law may be a one-liner that just wants to protect the users privacy. But this vagueness makes this law so extremely bad. Companys don't know anymore what's allowed and what not, so in order not to risk getting sued by some greedy shenanigans they just put up some cookie consent wall up. Can i use tools like Microsoft Clarity or Google Pages without getting sued by not having some cookie banner? Who knows anymore without getting an expensive lawyer and then i have to deal with the expensive technical changes required to implement these regulation wich especially hurts small or one-person software shops while big co doesn't care anyway.

Fun fact. My uncle is a professor of geosciences and goes on expeditions to drill these cores in Antarctica, analyzing their gas contents back at the university. When we'd visit my uncle and his family. My Dad and uncle would commonly head to the university and collect cores which were set to be disposed of and make martinis with 40,000+ yr old ice. The gases have been compressed over time and the weight of the ice, so it would crackle as it melted.

Then once it’s no longer new and intriguing it becomes another tool in the toolbox - and IMO the real mastery of that tool begins to show.
