That’s surprisingly enlightened and humanist. Not all pieces of equipment needed in rough environments should be allowed in non rough environments just because “I needed it out there!”, which is the small minded US logic we seem to be okay living with.

I had to scroll way too far down for this one, but it was the first one I thought of.

Another one would be Gary Indiana

Yes. That’s part of the math. That’s how Ford handled the Pinto. It was decided how much the lawsuits and fines would cost for the exploding cars and since they’d make more selling exploding cars than they’d lose to civil suits or government fines they went with more money and let people burn to death.

I can easily envision execs at for profit hospitals running the numbers on whether a new more percussive strategy would pencil out to raise profits. They’re not in the business of providing healthcare, so it’s just about net profits, your well being be damned.

You do realize that the US alt right propaganda channels like Fox News would salivate over this title, right? They’ll gladly use it to imply that Azov is in the United States for some crazy conspiracy theory reason.

If you’re a professor with a doctorate in Germany, the official way to refer to you is Professor Doctor [last name]. If you hold two doctorates it’s Professor Doctor Doctor.

Professor is also a serious and registered title in Germany. You can’t just start a school and start handing out professorships without oversight and approval.

For a loose definition of “me” and more “my parents when I was young” was a mid-70’s Fiat. I have lots of memories where we waited in some parking lot or by the freeway for a tow truck or some other help to arrive.

There’s tiny bits of real city around the US. It’s usually leftover fragments that managed to survive through the carpocalypse of the 30’ to today.

There are very few real city places larger than a 1/4 sq mile here.

Nothing. Build it if you want, but parking minimums are anti-people and city decaying laws.

It was quite early for me. I shouldn’t post when delirious.

That doesn’t make them correct. The strength of the belief has no bearing on reality unless it’s combined with evidence to warrant that belief.

The statements about how much people just have to have their cars parked everywhere because there’s not enough space for their cars so they need to take over everything for the cars is scary. Didn’t the city exist before cars were invented? Maybe there’s ways to live without the car at all times?

With varying degrees of regret. Some cities named to keep the right of ways, so rebuilding is more reasonable, others gave/sold it off and now they’re double plus fucked.

Most of the pre-1950’s trams were private, and not city run. The cities that took them over and kept them running are looking really smart at this point.

My city is about as smart as a box of rocks.

Your perspective might be why I enjoy microcontroller work. I love getting to know everything about the system, reading hardware documentation, and getting the low level parts to work in a highly deterministic way.

I use ATTiny85 cores when a ESP32 costs almost the same, but the 85 only has 256 bytes of SRAM and five I/O pins so I can track it all and ensure it will do exactly what I want.

The same meme with “wiring and lights” at the top. Then you descend to motors, transformers delta-y phases, RC and RL circuits, op amps, BJT circuits, reverse bias what?, differential equations, and eventually signals and systems.

The summary that I liked from the last post was “python is the second best language for everything”. There’s always something specialized and better for every given job. But, if you want one tool that’ll do a solid job everywhere, python is your go to.

As per all too often, the functional programming world invented them. Haskell (and its ilk) usually has all the future cool stuff already. Then python picks it up, then it moves over to C#/Java, then C++ says “mee too”!

Und dann das nächste Feld für mehr Parkplätze!

I’m often impressed with Finland. The attitudes and decision making the nation expresses are often very grounded and data driven.

The trams in Helsinki were also phenomenal. I loved getting around town so easily.
