concam··on Bicyclists Deserve the Right to Free Movement
>What's the point of investing in bike infrastructure if (some) bikers refuse to use it?

The same reason we might invest in traffic lights or stop signs even though cars regularly ignore them.

concam··on Visidata 2.0
My visidata protip is using it as a pager for terminal database clients. I'm using it with mycli/MySQL right now but it should work with any client that lets you use a custom result pager. This setup has entirely replaced gui db clients which I've found to be consistently awful.

Good luck trying to code a few hundred years of common law into a smart contract.

concam··on N.Y. Times Scales Back Free Articles to Get More Subscribers
We desperately need the continued work of serious investigative journalism outfits. Even the existence of organizations able (willing?) to report fact-checked stories held to a high editorial standard seems tenuous. These businesses are not a public service but in my estimation all Americans benefit from an independent fourth estate.

If you read NYT articles with any regularity I strongly urge you to subscribe. For me the cost of a digital subscription is trivial relative to the value I get from it.
