If you're moving fast, jumping off will not help much. Maybe not getting buried under the bike but not falling full speed

Maybe we software developers should use the trick of LLMs, always respond ‘you're absolutely right’, but never do what this would imply.

Nah, only a tin can can get away with acting this stupid

This phenomenon is particularly strong in people who do not use such words on a regular basis

But you have to keep it for the bad day

Now that their comment is deleted, it looks twice as █████

I don't quite get what sense does ‘the flinch’ in the title have beyond being a reference to The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. It reads as if it was something bad, but the post is just a list of thanks

No True Scotsman, ey?

You mean things like this?

It seems flying the English flag is now as transgressive as posting you're not a big fan of mass immigration on Facebook. And given that the latter is already likely to land you in trouble with the increasingly authoritarian state, it seems likely that the former might soon too.

I'm not exactly using Xitter, and his blog looks like a lot of reading only to find out who DHH is

Edit: oh, it seems like not much reading was needed, I'm starting to see your point after reading how good it feels to be in the Reagan's era again:

[L]et me tell you about the 80s. They were amazing. America was firing on all cylinders, Reagan had brought the morning back, and the Soviet Union provided a clear black-and-white adversarial image. But it was the popular culture of the era that still fills me with hiraeth.

It feels like we're finally emerging from this constant 90s Seattle drizzle to sunny 80s LA vibes in America. The constant pessimism, the cancellation militias, and the walking-on-eggshells atmosphere have given way to something far brighter, bolder, and, yes, better. An optimism, a levity, a confidence.

Thanks

Not gonna visit barcelona any time soon with this toxic attitude.

There was a comment here along the lines of ‘make tourists not want to come and your problem is solved’, maybe they want to be toxic to scare everyone off. If that's the case, I hope they will find out if it worked the way they wanted

Was there tourism in Victoria and what happened to it after the ban? I'm not clever enough to predict what exactly the consequences might be, but I was always interested in what could happen from banning all short-term rental (although maybe that's not the case?)

Can you link to the news you refer to? I also seem to haven't read it

Oh, I'm sure the plan is to not need senior engineers by that time, and just replace them with AI, too

Only if the crate she comes from has her properly exposed
