Imagine a beach of infinite length with one lemonade stand on it.

Where do you open a second lemonade stand to maximize sales if people will buy from the closet stand?

The answer: next to the first stand. Everyone to the left of your stand will find you are the best option and everyone to the right will choose the other.

This model explains why two political parties along a spectrum can end up not too different from each other in an attempt to capture the most votes.

All the hand positions!

To categorically prevent that, every computer would need to centrally controlled and managed, which might have been the case here, and the system configuration has to prevent all software that’s not pre-approved from running.

That’s possible too, but could be a pain to tightly manage. It was a privileged user that was spear phished though… the kind of trusted user who might be able to install software on their machine without additional approval.

It’s a Roman numeral…

IIRC, The first ambulance for Reid Hospital was donated by a cycling club, the League of American Wheelman. This was around 1905.

Why cyclists? They had been the ones advocating for better road conditions at the time.

A number of hospitals still run as non-profits and accept donations.

I agree, seems like some overzealous algorithm.

But a human could have responded to the appeal, taken a look and at least replied.

Yes.

I got shadowbanned by Reddit after nearly 20 years on the platform. No justification given. No response to appeal.

Because less than 1% of users would use it and your trusting the security of not one bit partner but thousands of ever-changing small partners.

Also, email is already federated.

Make the road by walking.

Though maybe the bike could detect the slow charging case and put a message on the screen.

I expect if more bikes charged via USB-C more people would be trying to charge them via phone chargers and wondering why they or slow.

And would these e-bike chargers be able to safely charge a phone which needs less power? Because people would try that, too.

Yes. I used CVS when it was the best option. If I recall, CVS made it easy to check out a different version of only one fail, making it easy to put a system in an inconsistent state.

For modern VCS that’s pleasant to learn and use but won’t scale to the Linux kernel, I recommend Darcs.

A single binary, interactive commands and online help.

CVS does not even support atomic commits across four files.

You used CVS and it wasn’t a drugstore.

But you haven’t even heard the theories!

Xh is my favorite— a rewrite of httpie with some fixes.

None of the Mac web devs I know are talking about it. I’m not sure they have even heard of it.

7” is a tablet.

Garmin has sold smartwatches with replaceable batteries for years. I tested and documented replacing the battery myself.

Open the back with a tool, unhook the old battery, swap in the new, re-assemble— and it’s waterproof!
