Additional reminder that Google not only records your location minute by minute, they also record your motion activity through your phone’s gyroscope and know exactly what you’re doing (walking, running, biking, driving, playing sports, etc). You can view all of this in your history. It’s genuinely infuriating that they can get away with this.

You can turn it off in your settings, but as with any proprietary software you can never be sure that they’re not still doing it (why wouldn’t they? that’s just leaving profit on the table)

Also in this thread: Identifying the need to restructure the current standard before car usage can be realistically reduced by large amounts.

The best way to reduce car use is to create an environment where driving isn’t the default (or only) way to get around. Induced demand works in reverse too.

The price gouging will continue until morale improves

Honestly it wouldn’t even be that hard to release full translated versions of existing programming languages. Like Python in Punjabi or Kotlin in Chinese or something (both of which already support unicode variable/class/function names). Just have a lookup table to redefine each keyword and standard library name to one in that language, it can literally just be an additional translation layer above the compiler/interpreter that converts the code to the original English version.

It’s honestly really surprising that non-English speakers have developed entirely new programming languages in their own language (unfortunately none of which are getting very widespread use even among speakers of that language), but the practice of simply translating a widely used and industry standard English programming language doesn’t seem to be much of a thing.

If I ever make my own programming language, I’m probably going to bake multi-language support into the compiler. Just supply it with a lookup table of translated terms and the code in that language.

Move to the country if you want to drive everywhere then. Leave cities for people who actually value the density they’re supposed to provide.

It’s not about if it’s successful or not, it’s about the US having dug in to this and wanting to keep up the tough facade they so desperately want other countries to fear.

Not everyone who can’t really walk much qualify for handicapped status. The majority don’t. The elderly as just one example.

Additionally, on-street parking gets you even closer to where you want to go. In fact, if more people who can walk did walk, it would make it even easier for people who can’t who won’t have as much competition for good parking spots.

Annecdotal, but I definitely enjoy the simplest foods specifically for their simplicity. Things like a fresh loaf of bread with no sauces, a plain bowl of rice straight out of the rice cooker (I’m Asian), or plain roasted sunflower seeds.

NiMH is perfect for an application like this, where the power draw is high but you don’t need the batteries to retain charge while in standby for that long, so the high self-discharge rate is irrelevant.

It’s something that literally every dev has done at some point before they knew better.

If you’re working for a multinational tech company handling sensitive user data and still make this mistake, then you are being malicious in your incompetence. This is something that would cause you to lose a significant amount of marks on a first year college programming project, let alone a production system used by literally billions of people.
