I don't want to celebrate UK roads too much. The majority of roundabout users in the UK are not indicating properly. Too many people are stopping at them when they have priority. Lanes are just a suggestion and using the correct lane is an invitation for someone to drive into the left of you.
In other areas: enough people don't know how to use a slip road that it becomes a problem to those who do. Likewise the flashing ambers of a pelican crossing. Lane discipline is much worse than on the continent, to the point you can see it creating traffic jams. Lots of people are driving big cars without the confidence needed to remain in their own lane.
There are millions of drivers who've never passed a theory test. We could do with more ruthlessness.
Oh, well there's the problem. Apple isn't catering to millennial jeans fits any more. Only half-joking.
True, that's the other side of it: my daily work has lost the fun reward loop and I'm being alienated from my colleagues. But I still have colleagues!
High productivity is generally good for the employee, unless you're productive enough you run out of work to do. So how much code is needed?
(IDK if there's a more accessible alternative to imgur now)

A nice reminder to keep passwords offline.
Yeah, you might. I assume you're a principled person.
In my experience, the less principled simply leave their shit all over the place for us to deal with.
But I also think this is an example of a slight disingenuity in RISC-V being referred to as open-source. It's borrowing the clout of open-source software projects where the end user has the freedom to compile them at home. I can't fabricate a CPU at home, I'm still beholden to whatever patents the manufacturer chooses to license. SiFive have a >billion dollar valuation, for a business based on selling licences.
There's no anything. Getting to Wales is easier than getting to Devon for most of England. You can do it accidentally.
1) I rarely get any feedback, particularly not feedback as detailed as this, with a single reason for failure 2) Employers habitually bend the truth around interviews: interviewing for jobs that don't exist, that are already filled, reneging offers 3) Not being hired after an interview doesn't mean you failed it. They're more like dates than exams.
So do car alarms.
I'm not convinced this is a business model I want to exist. We had an internet before it, and Google, and Facebook. I'm increasingly sad we can't return to it.
Cheap enough for humans and too expensive for bots have a big overlap.
But what I find increasingly common is that I run into these kinds of frictions even when I do behave as a normie. So even if I do install the official Reddit app, I'll end up going through the broken flow you've described. Or I'll make an account and be immediately given a shadowban for being a 'bot'. Or I'll see cookie prompts interfere with login prompts interfering with app prompts.
Devs aren't even making things work outside their own setup now.
Seriously, try it out. I wonder if the person who created a ticket for implementing the progress bar ever wondered if it was symptom of a greater problem?
It's also very discoverable if you see it in the wild. You may be surprised that `--` doesn't work, but you won't be surprised `--end-of-options` represents the end of options.
What problem does this actually cause you? What additional complexity has adding this feature added to your development cycle?
Because you're trying to 'copy' it?
This feels baby-duck-y. No given mental model is more right than another. There's already not even a consistent model, because:
>Cut is copy and delete
So copy and delete! Or, in Vim and Emacs, just delete!
