Mit 12 Zügen fuhr ich die letzten Tage. Davon einmal Schienenersatzverkehr und einmal eine unbedeutende Verspätung von ein paar Minuten, sonst alle pünktlich und ohne Probleme.
Star Trek The Next Generation, which first aired 37 years ago on this day 28th September, 1987. STTNG and the crew of the Enterprise D would go on to became a worthy successors to the original series and an integral part of the enduring legacy of Star Trek. #startrek #StarTrekTNG
> Many developers say AI coding assistants make them more productive, but a recent study set forth to measure their output and found no significant gains. Use of GitHub Copilot also introduced 41% more bugs, according to the study from Uplevel, a company providing insights from coding and collaboration data.
Like I've been saying for a while, feeling productive is not the same as being productive
It’s very rarely that I am left shaking after reading something. This article outraged and frightened me, and it’s a striking example of why so many blind people will be outside the HQ of Uber and Lyft in October. We have every right to expect that we can go about our business without fear, and that the law will be enforced. nfb.org//images/nfb/publicatio…
We’re happy to announce that AntennaPod is joining #Hacktoberfest again. We’d love to see contributions from developers of all experience levels. Whether you’re new to open-source or a seasoned pro, Hacktoberfest is a great time to dive in. antennapod.org/blog/2024/10/ha…
„Ja, ja, ja und ja, das braucht es. Die AfD versucht die Demokratie abzuschaffen. Die Demokratie muss wehrhaft sein und eine anti-demokratische Partei muss verboten werden. Das ist im Grundgesetz so vorgesehen. Es ist höchste Zeit und die Zeit ist jetzt.“
What have I been up to, lately? Well ... not a lot of productive things, truth be told. Granted, there's some uni responsibilities I'm proud of having sent in before the deadline, and I have read a fair number of books (especially a lot more of Discworld, and all of Murderbot, which I read at a rate of one book per day). But otherwise I've just been reading countless articles and blog posts, watching videos, scrolling Reddit even when I said I would quit (again), doing a lot of comparing prices among shops for things I may not really need, Why, though? Well, to give the best life to this puppy in the below pictures! Everyone, say hi to Pika! She loves sleeping, food, her family, chewing, swimming, growling fearsomely while actually completely misunderstanding the game of tug (she thinks she's supposed to push the toy towards me and let me do all the tugging on my own), and all the belly, chest, back, neck ... just, all the rubs ever. And though she hasn't met you yet, she loves you, too. Mind you, all these pics are a bit out of date. She's almost 4 months old now and a much bigger girl at 15 kg. I'll be sure to get you a more recent pic sometime, perhaps with her new favourite toy, a plushy carrot that, to my unimaginative hands, looks more like a fish. But until then, enjoy this little journey! I've added additional info in the alt texts where I could, but I can's see the pics myself, so some descriptions are lacking. #pets #dogs #puppies 1/2 because apparently there's a pic limit.
Just boosting this. A blind person was refused an Uber because of her guide dog, then police pulled guns on her and her friends. Uber sided with the police. How is this not a national outrage? nfb.org//images/nfb/publicatio… @pluralistic @jeffjarvis
En X, Adolfo Núñex explica con ejemplos reales por qué la prohibición de VMP en transporte público es absurda, desproporcionada y no pone el foco en la seguridad objetiva.
Si no queréis pasar por X, ya os hago yo el spoiler: «Murcia ha prohibido el acceso de los patinetes eléctricos a autobuses y tranvía, porque se incendian y prima la seguridad»; durante un mes se han incendiado cero patinetes eléctricos y nueve coches de combustión (cero coches eléctricos). No es un mes raro. El 99,99 % de los vehículos que salen ardiendo son turismos convencionales. Y a nadie se le ocurre prohibirlos dentro de gasolineras, garajes o túneles.
Los ataques continuos contra la micromovilidad nacen del lobby cochista, que se ha dado cuenta que cada VMP que se vende reduce las ventas de sus sofás con ruedas. Con toda la educación de que soy capaz: que les jodan. Que les jodan fuerte. Están destrozando el futuro y frenando la sostenibilidad.
I wish the WebKit/Safari team had stubbornly refused to implement Web Components. Now we're stuck with them as part of the huge stack of standards that make up the web platform. Just saw this article which argues that Web Components impose a steep cost for little benefit: dev.to/ryansolid/web-component…
@jscholes Then again, maybe I can point to something concrete. Web Components are one of the things that have contributed to the runaway complexity of the web platform, which affects, among other things, the size of Electron, which I ship in one of my applications. If the Chrome team had encountered more resistance when piling up new features, including Web Components, then maybe that executable wouldn't be so huge now.
A Stanford University study in 2017 said Indonesians walk so much less than the world average.
When suburban roads typically look like this and only 610km of Jakarta’s more than 7,000km of roads have sidewalks, nobody should be surprised that nobody wants to walk in the city.
The strong lobby from motor vehicle companies also means that the city is home to 19 million motorcycles and 4 million cars. That’s almost 2 bikes per person in the city.
The city has 44 thousand buses, 4.5 thousand of which are full sized buses for TransJakarta network, and the bulk of the rest are likely the mini 8-10 person capacity buses (angkots) that have no schedule.
You get excited about sending your robotic submarine to the very bottom of Mariana's Trench anxious at the rare wonders you'll encounter, perhaps for the first time, and this is what you see miles below the ocean surface.

This week’s newsletter from Singapore! There’s not going to be a corruption trial involving a former Cabinet minister after all, and wow, the East-West Line has really gone doooowwwwnnnn…
Denise Prudhomme's bosses at Wells Fargo insisted that the in-person camaraderie of their offices warranted a mandatory return-to-office policy, but when she died at her desk in her Tempe, AZ office, no one noticed for four days.

Ever edit a PDF in MacOS Preview and have it mysteriously go password protected, effectively locking you out?
It's been a bug for at least two years, and the workaround I've found is to edit the PDF in Chrome instead – which you can still do even after the MacOS password has been inflicted on it. Which I have many questions about.
@ben it's caused by "I want to install a package but not reboot". And then the need to unlock because I need to patch live to test the shit I'm working on.
Maybe instead I should have reinstalled Workstation. Would have save me so much trouble.
