That sounds suspiciously like Rob Pike and Go coders.

> From experience, in aviation nothing is simple or cheap to replace.

Of course it is relative but I would still assume a switch in aviation is easier to replace than a touchscreen.

> Sadly, Google Maps does everything they can to prevent you from doing this, e.g. not showing street names at all unless you zoom in to ridiculous levels

This has been my pet peeve as well. I do use Gmaps to show me the route and then I ride it on my bike without looking at the phone but if it is a route that I don't know yet I would like which street to turn at, all the while Gmaps refusing to be a map and telling me what the name of the street is.

Gmaps seems to be less of a map, more of a directory of locations and instructions how to get to those, so the actual streets on which the locations are is not interesting to GMaps at all and it doesn't put any effort into that usecase.

That's the price for electricity/air conditioning (presumably for Hetzner), not how much their products will rise in price.

Writing `mli` files is pretty much idiomatic or at the very least, not unusual.

Opening space for traffic lanes does not reduce congestion, it induces demand (for more traffic lanes).

Yes, the difference is the "powered" part in the cited document. It's not terribly clear because they don't explicitly exclude acoustic bikes but they also never include acoustic bikes in any category that is to be legislated (article 4).

But if these companies hold patents that are being infringed by AV1 they don't have to join AOM they could also… sue them.

This whole thing seems to be a breeding ground for submarine patents, where in the end nobody has an actual applicable patent to show but the thread of pulling one out of the hat is there to make things worse.

Probably less than you lose in energy from heating the paths all year round.

In Germany there's also sausages without any casing, so not a saucisse at all?

The entire german government is terminally defeatist. They've been dragging their feet on digitalization for so long, they've been dragging their feet on accessible internet for so long they've been dragging their feet on transport infrastructure, they've been dragging their feet basically everything for ages. You go to Eastern Europe and wonder how things seem to be progressing much faster there.

Which is yet again contrasted with how NeoVim runs things and the 824 contributors to the repository at time of writing. I believe that justinmk, one of the principal drivers of the project specifically stated that he doesn't want to be something like a BDFL and I assume that's also pretty much a reaction to Vim.

I always wonder how driving to bars and parties works like, because you have to either not drink or have to take some kind of other means of transport, like a taxi or well... public transport.

But yes, I think your concern is more about that you wouldn't enjoy living in a city to begin with. Which is fair enough, most of these things you enjoy aren't great if you don't have a workshop and/or plenty of space (though I have to note that amount of pottery workshops in my city is quite high which is nice because it makes it more accessible to people who can't own all the equipment).

Cars make cities worse for everyone, whereas public transport makes cities better for everyone, even people using cars because there is less traffic.

I enjoy biking, public transport and the density to support a nice shopping/bar/party street within walking distance, but what do I know, living in the second most livable city.

Because it is a loaded question (check the wording) that also mostly backfired.

USB-C is a connector type, like USB-A (usually known as the classic USB plug) and USB-B (usually the other side of said plug, a square kind of connector). USB-B had other offspring like miniUSB and microUSB (note that in these cases on the other side of the cable you usually have a USB-A plug).

USB-C is the first time cables have the same connector on both sides, so it obsoletes USB-A and USB-B. But what is sent over USB-C? Can be USB 3 with which it is often conflated because they came around the same time, but it can also be USB 2, so it is a bit hard to tell. But USB 3 can use old style USB-A as well (the blue plugs with the same shape as the classic USB plugs) and USB-C (the microUSB plugs with an extension off to the side).

Yes, you have to pay the Rundfunkgebühr also if you don't have a TV but your computer has access to the Internet because public broadcasters also have a presence on the Internet.

> Do they save time? Seriously, add up the time: what is the net gain or loss? Is cash hard to use?

Yes. I get paid on my account like everybody else in this country and then I can immediately use it at any merchant in the country by using a credit card. No need to run to ATMs (where are they even and if it is not my banks I get charged extra), no need to figure out change etc.

I don't even carry a wallet anymore because I can just pay with my phone, so no need for a physical card.

In my experience - yes. I used Keepassdroid and on a new phone decided to try K2A but ended up much preferring the UI of KeepassDX. Its autofill works really well.

As someone who uses a 60% keyboard that is without numpad, F-keys or arrows I can say that it actually isn't really more useful for me. I'm actually looking to switch to a 40%. But I can wholly understand your surprise - I was surprised too and my first mechanical keyboard was a G80-3000 - a warship of a keyboard, only comparable to the Model M in size.

I think this video[0] is a great introduction why people who don't take their laptops around enjoy using tiny keyboards.

Because other payments are monthly (rent, ISP, mobile phone contract, subscriptions - at least in Europe), so having a constant money in <-> money out equilibrium makes sense. Unless these things are also charged every 2 weeks in the US.

From the "You are unique. You are different." in the screenshot which is parodying the style so hard, but also the random clap emoji. It feels like googling "Gen-Z tropes" and then applying every single of them. But also the "Of course you are." which is extremely dismissive.

There is a way to design a more "fun" experience but just slapping the biggest tropes on like your users are 5 year olds is probably not it.

They did design it but in the whole post he was making fun of it. This Gen-Z mode that he designed is not made out of compassion for the users but rather as a parody of Gen-Z aesthetic.

I had fun reading it but I feel it is a bad business move to attack your user base, and I assume that they have more users around the 18yo of the spectrum than 75.

Would he also make fun of a boomer mode, with large buttons everywhere and "get me out of the app and just call person" feature?

At least Maersk ships are included in the ecological balance sheets of Denmark, whereas all the western companies that produce stuff in China just offload their carbon bill to China.

So yes, it is bad but that's how globalized capitalism works.

I think "Photographie" is common when you want to sound stuck-up-your-ass artsy-fartsy. In regular use the word "Foto" is way more common than "Photo", unless you're the publisher of a black and white analog photography publication dating back to 1888.

Herb, whether you pronounce the H depends on whether you speak British or American English.

It is a cost that will probably amortize itself easily over the decades it will be in service.

I really enjoyed reading the cancer sign on the LinkedIn building in SF, I think they should put this warning on the website too.

You might have a point. Mu frustration with the comment I was replying to was that it seems to be mostly about owning cars for owning cars sake (as if being able to park 3 cars was an actually desirable or reasonable thing to do) and promoting car ownership as the only possibility when kids turn 5 for reasons unknown.

Some of the most livable cities in the world have good public transport and low rates of car ownership (a fact that seems more and more correlated to said livability) and are good places to raise families.

A new cargobike (Christianiacycel) costs 1.5k Euro in Denmark, which is certainly not known for being cheap, so unless you buy a crazy luxury cargo bike you can get like 3 of those for < 5k. And probably much cheaper if you go second-hand.

And yes, there's plenty of these on the streets, not only owned by rich people.
