Designing for public transit and cycling benefits far more people than designing exclusively for single passenger cars. Who do you think are on bikes and in buses?

The pathfinding section reminded me that there's a YouTube steamer, Marcel Vos, who goes into a deep dive of how the pathfinding works. https://youtu.be/twU1SsFP-bE He has lots of …

Such a great game! I got as far as implementing all the CPU instructions and can't wait to get back into it!

You can use a garbage email address, you don't have to verify it

Bike licensing has never and will never work. Plenty of cities have tried it and it doesn't make a difference. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2016-11-29/why-bicyc...

Your stats are backwards. Motorists do not follow the law 95% of the time, it's more like 34% of the time. It's cyclists who follow the law 95% of the time. > A new study from the …

So if you have Neuralink (or anything similar that gets released in the future) you can be convicted of thoughtcrimes and that's a-ok? What exactly is "on you" in this scenario? In…

I've been in the exact same scenario twice and what I've learned is that internal tools (especially in big companies) only get "deprecated" but it's hard to abandon them completely…

California and Washington are amongst two of the most regressive tax systems in the United States. They punish the poor more than the rich in both those states. That's why they flo…

It's hasn't been a conspiracy theory since the Panama papers came out. Everyone is now aware of the extent rich people go to use tax havens and are rightfully upset. They make reco…

TempleOS feels a little different because Terry was fairly well-known in the community and didn't try to hide his identity. I'm pretty sure he went to conferences and has met with …

Probably no data. China will not make data publically available if it makes them look bad.

That sounds easy to solve - tell them to go pound salt. If it's a private mailing list where you're judge, jury, and executioner why would you cater to people who are looking to ca…

> Can't tab cycle through minimized windows This drives me absolutely NUTS and I thought it was a me problem. Where the hell do things go when they're minimized on macos!!? There's…

Does Apple have a rule that says beta apps aren't allowed on the app store? As far as I'm concerned Microsoft cloud gaming is like a 1.0 version and works fine on Windows and Andro…

> Whether he is in the right or not is decided in a court of law. Legally, sure. Disney is an awful company and anything people do that hurts their bottom line is morally right tho…

It's also hard to explain this difference in life to somebody who doesn't want to live that life. When I tell people I hate driving so much that I'd rather sit on public transit (o…

I think maybe the games are a bit different and it wasn't viable? I was pretty into the original WC3 Dota and starting with tangos for healing was a pretty popular strategy for sup…

Why are we working in human timescales? It's like saying the sun will never burn out because humans won't be around to see it happen. To me, that's a pretty bold and naive claim.

I want to see the proof of: bots, Russian trolls, and bad actors that supposedly crawl all over Reddit. Everyone who disagrees with the hivemind of a subreddit gets accused of bein…

You can't choose NOT to expose it because you can't stop Amazon from exposing it. Amazon says it's not secret, so it's not secret. They make no attempts or guarantees to keep it se…

You can't keep it secret because Amazon doesn't keep it secret. So if Amazon doesn't keep the account ID a secret how can you as a user of Amazon be expected to keep your account I…

It's not even sensitive or confidential though, Amazon says that themselves in their docs.
