cestvrai,

As a frequent train passenger, I’m not overly concerned.

Seems a bit too weak to derail, probably only delay.

“We believed that the new owners would carry our vision forward and continue to build great bikes, employ great people, and deliver on the promise of quality, fun and a little weirdness that had defined Kona for so long,” co-founders Jake Heilbron and Dan Gerhard wrote

I’m sure that’s always how it goes when you sell out to private equity…

Not familiar with the brand but glad they’re back in good (better?) hands.

cestvrai,

Or focus on the non-invasive form of this technology.

cestvrai,

Dog on the table, wtf!?

Nice painting though.

cestvrai,

Seems over-complicated…

I could imagine an autonomous, on-demand rural train service. Due to the low expected traffic, it seems like you could just build some additional sidings and use a more conventional design.

cestvrai,

Agreed. I really tried to like Libre/OpenOffice over the years but it never felt right. OnlyOffice really hits the spot for me.

I don’t use Windows much any more but I was happy with the discounted student version of Office 2016, afaik the last perpetual license.

cestvrai,

If I’m doing anything substantial, calculation-wise, I use openpyxl.

cestvrai,

You might also find the Python library pandas useful. Its “DataFrames” can mirror your excel data 1:1 and you have convenience methods like to_excel(). Easy to combine with numpy for performant matrix math.

XLSX just becomes a container for storing/sharing your data, and while Python is used for analysis. I would use matplotlib for plotting rather than embedding in the sheet.

cestvrai,

That’s just the price we have to pay for this wonderful capitalist system. Worth it!

cestvrai,

It’s not that I look forward to rain-pants days, but it’s really not so tragic…

cestvrai,

I like the design but ultimately prefer a backpack.

cestvrai,

I share a couple cars with a few hundred neighbours. Saves a bunch of parking spaces.

cestvrai,

Don’t get me wrong, the primary cars that I share ride on steel wheels :)

cestvrai,

I find Lemmy is better with fewer users just like Reddit used to be.

I kinda miss a few subs but they’ve been replaced by new things I discovered here.

The websites can coexist and users can do as we please.

cestvrai,

It’s been years since they ditched that officially.

Japan's Streets are Better... (www.youtube.com)

The land of the rising sun is know for many things. Mount Fuji, Samurai, Anime, Sushi and wacky game shows. But what it isn’t widely known for is its incredibly safe streets. Not just for drivers, but for people on bikes or just simply walking. I hope I can convey the simple safety of Japanese streets and the importance of...

cestvrai,

Only managed to travel to Japan once but really loved walking around. Metros and trains were quite approachable even without a smartphone.

Definitely the most mobile I’d felt without a car at that point in my life!

UK flooded with forged stamps despite using barcodes — to prevent just that (www.bleepingcomputer.com)

If a stamp have a barcode, why not just let people who have printers at home to print it on the envelope directly? This eliminates the need to buy physical stamp, thus the probability of buying counterfeit stamps.

cestvrai,

Here in NL, you can get a 9 letter/digit code from the app or website to write (or print) on the envelope. For example:

A 8 F

2 C D

5 P V

cestvrai,

Can you explain the u-turn scenario?

cestvrai,

I think a ban would cause more travel by car which is a worse outcome IMO.

However, as a 🦵-biker, I’m not sad about 25 kph speed limiters. At least in the Dutch context.

cestvrai,

Damn man, that’s rough.

U-turns are quite a dangerous manoeuvre and really need to be executed properly to ensure safety.

I remember taking my Colorado drivers licence and it wasn’t covered at all in the written/practical exam. I practiced a couple times at traffic lights with a turn arrow with my parents but that was it.

For my Dutch lesson license (we rent a car a few times a year) u-turns and 3-pt turns were covered extensively. How fast you are going and which mirrors you’re checking in which order. They also test these “special manoeuvres” in the practical exam in a very healthy way. The roads also have a lot more medians which helps blunt driver stupidity.

Cars are the worst…

cestvrai,

Also a dev.

cestvrai,

The apartment we bought came with an old 18” dishwasher.

We run it daily with two adults and it works great. Even though you need to run it more often, it’s takes less time to empty than a full size.

For our current layout it makes a lot of sense but would want a full size if the family grows.

If I was single I would prefer the smaller format. I find it kinda nasty to have my dirty dishes standing for many days.

cestvrai, (edited )

Did a bit of 8-axis multitool with my previous job (mostly work on a proprietary slicer), and one main takeaway was to not be afraid of editing gcode.

I would probably start with a script to merge the files and then build a basic plugin for my slicer to do the job.

I’m sure more user friendly options are around the corner!

cestvrai,

I remember how excited I was when I finally got an invite code. Now happily gmail-free for 2 years.

Google Maps and YouTube I can’t avoid but otherwise ungoogling successfully.

cestvrai,

I use proton mail but otherwise I would probably stick with the default iOS.

I self-host caldav with radicale and use native Debian/ios calendar apps. Immich to replace Google photos was especially satisfying.
