organization I'm involved with is Dan Lyke / comment 0
An organization I'm involved with is running up against email providers fighting with MailChimp tracking links. It's unclear at what level of payment MailChimp stops adding that stuff.
Suggestions for migrating away, including alternate vendors and procedures, welcomed.
Lots of e-dirt-bikes out there Dan Lyke / comment 0
While nobody knows how many of these illegal electric bicycles are on the road, the percentage might be quite high. Counts of electric two-wheelers parked at a dozen northern California middle and high schools found that almost 90% may not meet the standards for legal electric bicycles. Some of these devices have as much as eight times more power than legal limits.
Pest parser mechanism Dan Lyke / comment 0
While I'm finding cool stuff in Rust: Pest
pest is a general purpose parser written in Rust with a focus on accessibility, correctness, and performance. It uses parsing expression grammars (or PEG) as input, which are similar in spirit to regular expressions, but which offer the enhanced expressivity needed to parse complex languages.
Looking at Rust GUI libraries and I Dan Lyke / comment 0
Looking at Rust GUI libraries, and I guess we just assume that compute is cheap enough that for every tick of the song playback slider/transport, we're willing to re-render all of the text and tables in the window as well now?
(I'm headed towards Relm/gtk4, which also gives me the hives. Sigh.)
Waymo doesn't help safety, hates cyclists Dan Lyke / comment 0
Waymo Is Not In The ‘Vision Zero’ Toolbox: Data
Waymo has told advocates that expecting it to respect bike lanes is “too high a bar” because customers expect to be dropped off in them, said Christopher White, executive director of the San Francisco Bike Coalition.
“People always point out that unlike human driven cars, the AVs stop at lights and obey the speed limit. However, they are really only as good and effective and safe as they are programmed to be,” White said. “Waymos pull over into bike lanes all the time for pickups and drop-offs and that’s neither legal nor safe but the companies say that is a normal practice and that’s what customers expect.”
Last June, a cyclist in San Francisco sued the Google-owned company after she was seriously injured when one of the brand’s driverless taxis stopped in a cycle lane and a passenger opened its back door, striking the cyclist and causing her to smash into another Waymo car that was also illegally blocking the bike path.
Got a Nixle alert to avoid Petaluma Dan Lyke / comment 0
Got a Nixle alert to avoid Petaluma Boulevard South at Mountain View Ave so of course we had to walk down and see. Not sure how this happened, but I think the wheels side is supposed to stay down
