https://www.samsung.com/fi/smartphones/galaxy-z-fold8/buy/ I think that the form factor is pretty much the same?

If the oobjective itself is easy to measure, "Increase purchases through Alexa’s voice interface" for example, then that is the the key result. Objectives need to be abstract complex things, grandiose goals. And key results are measurable good ideas to approximate our movement towards the objective.

Depending what value means... I think that shorts do not bring any value, just mindless filler. In my books that has no value. Some might disagree.

It's really good that some are ready to do what is right instead of just bending over.

Android (14) still supports it, it's in Settings > System > Navigation mode (on Pixel devices, different manufacturers might put it in other menus). I still use it and will keep using it.

I wonder... It's absolutely clear that many hate their long commute. Do they, at some point, start to wonder what went so wrong that many (most?) have such an awfully long commute?

Yes, Mozilla would exist if their deal with Google would end.

Actually, the index went up last year. So 0 consecutive years of downwards trend.

"has been going downwards for 15 consecutive years" that was the claim. It's not been going down for 15 consecutive years as there has been ups and downs during the past 15 years. The overall trend is down, but going downwards for 15 years in a row is not true.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Economist_Democracy_Index shows that average democracy index has not been going downwards for 15 consecutive years.

The very same limitations mentioned in the directive are in effect also in Germany. Bicycles with assistive motors up to 0.25 (nominal) kW and max assistive speed of 25km/h are effectively bicycles from law point of view. If the motor has more power and/or the max assistive speed is >25<45km/h, it's speed pedelec, not an electric bicycle. If the motor works without the rider pedaling at all, then it's a moped. The only difference here is that electric bicycles are in Germany called pedelec when pretty much rest of the world calls them ebikes.

Directive 2002/24/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/HTML/?uri=CEL...) states:

"cycles with pedal assistance which are equipped with an auxiliary electric motor having a maximum continuous rated power of 0,25 kW, of which the output is progressively reduced and finally cut off as the vehicle reaches a speed of 25 km/h, or sooner, if the cyclist stops pedalling"

So, vehicles which do not require user to pedal, are not electric bicycles. Those are something else. Yes, it is legal to drive such vehicles, but those are not ebikes. Typically those vehicles require you to have an insurance, possibly type approval and maybe even drivers license, depending how fast they go and how powerful the motor is.

I use Routa from Suomi Tyres. Those are studded winter tyres. I guess Schwalbe Marathon Winter Plus is a popular choice in the category.

1) In order to get more people on bikes in most of the world, we either need massive policy changes and infrastructure rework (like much of Netherland has been doing since about 1970 or so) or better bikes. Personally I'm always voting for both, but the first option does not seem possible in most parts. Ebikes might just be enough for many to make the switch easier.

2) Roughly speaking anyone without health issues can ride any bike 15mph. Also, the weight of the bike does not matter that much, as it is anyway way lighter than the rider. 25 pound normal bike vs 55 pound ebike does not make much of a difference given a 180 pound rider.

Because in Europe ebikes are bikes with assistive motor, so you need to pedal and the motor just assists. So there is no throttle. And pedaling, even when it is easy, is an activity which consumes calories.

11 months ago I bought myself an ebike and since then that's pretty much the only way I commute. It's 12.5km from home to office, so 25km per day, about 75% of the time (25% remotely). Year round, in Helsinki Finland. So snow, freezing temps many months per year. And rain. I have two kids; one at daycare, one goes to school. Every day I either take younger to daycare of pick her up. Yesterday trip meter crossed 4000km, pretty much only from commuting.

My 12.5km commute takes 33 minutes when there isn't snow on the ground. During winter it takes few minutes longer.

Weather is not an issue. I wear normal office clothes, so typically jeans and shirt. If it's raining, I wear gore-tex jacket and pants on top of office clothes. If it's raining heavily, I put gore-tex mittens and shoe covers. Those hard-shell clothes are always in my pannier bag, because you never know when the forecast is wrong. Also when it's cold, the same shell pants and jacket goes on top of office clothes. If it's really cold, I wear fleece jacket or merino wool hoodie underneath the gore-tex jacket. When temps drop below -10C, I put some long johns underneath jeans and also wear ski goggles.

I'm never wet when arriving no matter how hard it rains. I'm not sweaty, so no need for shower. The only downside is that during the first 6 months, I lost 6kg, so had to buy new clothes.

These are the clothes I wear on top of my office clothes:

  * https://www.vaude.com/en-INT/Men/Accessories/Gaiters/310/Bike-Gaiter-Short?number=012790100360

and all those are year round in my rear pannier https://www.ortlieb.com/en_us/twin-city-urban+F8102 if I'm not wearing those. Rear pannier also carries my laptop and other work related equipment, mostly mobile phones needed for development/testing.

Bike commuting is fun, relaxing, healthy and fast enough for trips roughly under 15km. Weather does not matter. If you live in part of the world where it snows, bike path maintenance might be the dealbreaker. Also, if there isn't a viable bike route at all (pretty typical in many parts of the U.S.), then surely bike commuting is hard.

EDIT: Oh, almost forgot, merino wool buff during winter months is really nice.

Same for me. Last night old.reddit.com/.compact was working just fine, not anymore. Redirects to non-.compact.

Apps don't support older OS versions -> Nobody uses old OS -> No point supporting old OS as nobody uses those -> Apps don't support older OS versions -> ...

Yeah, I know. 9 days ago in this forum I posted this: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34103132

EDIT: I think it is pretty obvious that we are not talking about servers and patient monitors here, but rather desktops and other enduser devices.

SteamDeck is not desktop device, it's pretty much single usecase machine. It is for gaming and that's how most use it. And there is no need to take bad samples and anecdotes on how widely used Linux is. There are multiple longstanding companies tracking the usage numbers of various operating systems. Linux on non-mobile devices is really rare exception.

At least for me "year of Linux on the desktop" is not about "can Linux be used on desktop" because of course it is possible. For me it means Linux being a popular choice on the desktop. That it is not.

Milk production might not start at all, it might start but ends unless used.

I have no idea what victory you are talking about. Linux dominates roughly everything, except desktop. You can go argue about your own things somewhere else.

EDIT: runs -> dominates

iOS is not majority, not even close, Android dominates the smartphone market. Android runs on Linux, not GNU/Linux, but definitely Linux.

Year of the Linux on the desktop might never come, but we do have Linux on everything else. Servers have been mostly Linux since at least -00, smartphones have been mostly Linux since about 2010, various embedded devices have been mostly Linux, if they need a full OS, since about 2000 I guess and now Linux has a serious bid in game consoles also.

How is it based on anything in Excel? There's nothing about test plans in RF. Test plans are about schedules, strategy, deliverables, roles etc. And those are typically garbage. Absolutely nothing related to RF.

Cucumber does not really provide anything RF does not, except for Ruby houses. And Cypress is web automation tool, RF being generic one. One could write Cypress library for RF, but as there already are Selenium and Playwright libraries for RF, I don't think it will happen anytime soon at least.

As RF already outputs jUnit style XML file, for sure you can instruct your CI to utilize that. And at worst `robot` will return relevant exit code so CI can at least get pass/fail information from the whole process. Also, https://pypi.org/project/allure-robotframework/ generates Allure reports from RF, you might be able to utilize that.

Not sure what else one might need. Surely any relevant CI can also store the HTML files RF generates.

EDIT: Just realized who you are. We've met few times at RF events. I'm not sure what other information one might want besides jUnit, console output and exit code, Allure reports, HTML files and RF output.xml.

RIDE is a totally independent RF editor, not written on top of any other IDE. RED is RF editor built on Eclipse. Don't use either of them. https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=robocorp... and https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/16086-robot-framework-l... are the way to go. Personally I use SublimeText with the RF LSP server with this https://github.com/Harri/RobotFrameworkSyntax but that's not "batteries included" like the two other plugins.
