  • The unfairness problem imo is a problem because many places don’t have exclusions for bikes. I’m not Canadian so idk if that’s true there.

    Both cars and bikes have to obey the rules, even in situations where it is obvious that not obeying them would be better (for example running a red light in the middle of nowhere where you have clear visibility that there are no humans around).

    And there are some rules that are obviously thought only for cars, so the bikes think that they can break them.

    As a car this is seems as unfair because they can’t break the rules even if they think there’s no danger.

    If the rule just says “this rule doesn’t apply to bikes” imho it would be seen as fair-er by cars.


  • The point is that it’s the same for literally every mode of transportation. Including walking. In fact it is more energy expensive for cars, since the accelerate faster, accelerate to a faster speed, and weigh a lot more.

    Saying that the energy is spent by the person instead of the machine might not be the best argument, since on rich countries people actually want to spend more energy from themselves, and less energy from their car.

    There are many other reason why bikes should be treated differently. But energy efficiency is BS.

    For example another commenter said how it physically hurts stopping so much on a bike. Which is actually a good argument. I don’t mind wearing out my car as I do wearing out my joints.










  • Police, as a concept, involves violence. You cannot have police without violence.

    Cool, you like the concept of upholding lawful order. How do you expect to implement that concept without violence?

    Person A murders person B. It is illegal to murder. So you call the not-police to uphold that law. What is the not-police going to do? Ask A to voluntarily get into the cell and stay in there and learn their lesson?



  • Installing dependencies via the OS’ package manager is one of the worst experiences there is. I understand it for C, because the language is ancient and doesn’t have its own dependency manager.

    But when developing, there are many dependencies you need that aren’t in the package manager. And when they are, they are often years old versions.

    And in the case of python, it installs dependencies in the global scope, which means that you sometimes import that version instead of the pip one.

    And in the case of python there’s the extra:

    python main.py

    python command not found

    Ah. It must be python3 then. Now all the bash scripts are broken. Since it’s python3, I’m going to install packages with pip3:

    pip3 install matplotlib

    pip3 command not found

    What?? So for python you need to put the 3, but for pip they removed it?

    Ngl, python development is much less stressful on windows.

    No it is not. It is the same as saying you can’t have coal energy production without production of CO2. At most, you can capture that CO2 and do something with it instead of releasing to the atmosphere.

    You can have energy production without CO2. Like solar or wind, but that is not coal energy production. It’s something else. In order to remove CO2 from coal energy production, we had to switch to different technologies.

    In the same way, if you want to not have hallucinations, you should move away from LLMs.






  • Maybe some people don’t delete the fork after their PR is done.

    In my case, I found another explanation.

    Sometimes, a random person comes and forks one of my repos. I check their profile, and it’s a techbro student with hundreds of forked repos without any commits. With their bio referencing AI or some shit.

    I’m pretty sure these people fork a lot of repos just to pad their CV or something. Make it look like you have a lot of repos. Because when you go to someone’s profile, it is not clear that a repo is a fork instead of their own creation.
