I do like the idea of having an intent level character. And once we have that, we don’t need AltGr7 etc (curly braces) to denote which level we’re at either, the whitespace has all the information we need.
But ultimately I just use whatever is default for the language formatter these days. My own personal preferences on that isn’t actually that important, and I find that’s a common feeling once someone just works with the default for a while.
Yeah. I think the first one was a GSM phone; the NMT ones were too expensive to be handed to kids. But it was before Nokia became dominant.
To be a bit more generic here, when you’re at government scale you’re generally deep in trade-off territory. Time and space are frequently opposed values and you have to choose which one is most important, and consider the expenses of both.
E.g. caching is duplicating data to save time. Without it we’d have lower storage costs, but longer wait times and more network traffic.
Yes, I agree. It appears to have worked on the leftpondians though, and thus we get headlines like this.
That’s my opinion as well (I think of “ebike” as “EU-conformant pedelec”), but that opinion doesn’t seem to be universal.
I get the impression a lot of leftpondians use “bike” to mean MC, so to them saying “ebike” when they mean “electric motorcycle” is pretty natural.
It’s been widely studied in other cities already. Studying it more is ok, but at some point you gotta wonder whether we need all that many studies about whether water is wet, or if the resources and manpower could be better spent elsewhere.
Yeah, that’s how we do it in Oslo. The road tolls mostly go towards funding transit and investments in bike and foot infra.
This is kinda three different problems, or three effects from one problem:
The solutions, of course, are a mix of negative incentives to drive like congestion and parking pricing, and positive incentives to not drive, like investing in transit, cycling, mixed use and at least a certain level of urban density to be able to support transit, services and not have biking and walking be unfeasible or undesirable because of long distances.
Nearly done with Trails in the Sky. Apparently it’s getting a remake in 2025, which I guess might make it more attractive to Kids These Days, but really I suspect is money and effort that could have been better spent elsewhere—the remastered version is pretty good IMO
I think my usecase of curl is entirely covered by hyper (I just use it for http/s with a small handful of flags); but I also have absolutely no idea what goes on inside curl or how my distro chooses to build it.
Rebuilding curl to use Rust here and there (it still supports rustls and quiche) seems like an interesting undertaking, but yeah, I suspect most curl users don’t build it themselves and have no idea what experimental features it could be built with. Guessing the curl survey has data for that.
Stenberg seems like a cool dude and this seems like an amicable split.
I generally agree, but
In addition to the other comment about the exit code, you might be interested in the exitcode crate, which offers up a BSD convention for those exit codes.
They are, essentially, just numbers on unixes and don’t really have as much standardization as e.g. HTTP codes afaik. Various programs may have their own local conventions as to what an exit code means.
The induced demand part involves a cycle of expanding roadways and then building detached housing to use that roadway.
This would happen with buses, trams and bikes as well but for them the matching housing is a high-density urban fabric, and this is much more frequently blocked by zoning than detached houses. So we get essentially housing crises with incredible prices for quality urban areas as the demand is pretty huge, and some absolutely jam-packed bus and train routes, but following up on that is politically much harder than destroying some farmland or nature area to build suburbs.
