Roads, built for wheels, sidewalks built for feet. It's quite simple really. Certainly I'm not going to try riding up the flight of six steps built into the sidewalk around the corner here.
TN state law: If you are travelling slower than 10mph under the speed limit and you have three or more vehicles behind you, you are required to pull over or off the road to let those vehicles pass. Who's breaking the law now.
Some jurisdictions have exceptions to no-passing to allow for overtaking slow or stationary obstacles in any case.
But many of those costs are because the road has to support those heavier vehicles. For cyclists, you could mostly just get away with a 3" thick concrete path
As a motorcyclist, I hate when people wave me in front of their two-ton death machine when they have right-of-way when if they just went, I'd be able to go legally and safely behind them.
Therefore, the law should say that all bicycles must be replaced with racing motorcycles and all launches must be at the limits of traction... In order to keep people safe, of course.
You are absolutely correct. The American obsession with stop signs is just crazy. They're everywhere and they impede traffic flow, waste fuel and cause unnecessary wear and tear on vehicles.
I used to live in the UK and I only knew of one stop sign *anywhere*. Even if you account for roundabouts taking the place of stop signs for particular types of junctions (a far superior solution IMO), the US still way overdoes stop signs.
There was something weird about mplab X which made me download the previous version. I can't remember what it was now but I seem to recall it was a "hell no" moment during installation.
I got to play with the ICE. It didn't offer a huge benefit over the development model we were using and it had timing issues that messed with our very timing sensitive application. Nice idea though.
Absolutely. I'm certainly not dissing the Arduino and I'm starting to play with some Raspberry Pi stuff myself.
As you say, programming PICs can be done on the cheap but even their ICD stuff was not that expensive (I'm currently using the rip-off Inchworm at home though).
Meh, if the speed is fast enough (sometimes it's more about the timing) and I'm hitting assembly anyway and I'm not religious about the toolchain I use, who cares?
I'll have to look into that. We've been having an issue with an apache reverse proxy we've been using internally locking up and just spinning. Haven't been able to find any cause or explanation
If you sign up with Microchip as a dev, they'll send you small numbers of their chips for free. These can be set up to work with next to zero external components. You will need some kind of programmer though.

Logically false but I suspect there's a lot of truth to it in fact.

You have my vote.

Wait, aren't we constantly told that weather is not climate?
Less wishful thinking perhaps and more based on the fact that we don't swing wildly from one temperature to another.
You beg the question though. If CO2 is having no effect, it is not pollution, if it does, it is.
The "Wichhunter General" would probably have found himself out of a job if he turned around and said "Nope, there ain't no witches"
No, if they didn't balance, they would go one way or the other. If they did balance, they would stay the same.
That;s a very static and, frankly, short-sighted way to view a dynamic system though. The same mindset that made a fool of Malthus.
And whether they balance or not, the statement that human sources dwarf natural sources is still patently false.

Did I say that? (I may have)

I think he was dissing MPLab and similar, not GCC.
I've used GCC a fair bit and they get quite a lot of kudos from me. I'm not religious about it though.

Why does there have to be a best? Does a carpenter have a "best" tool or pick the most appropriate one for the job?

The economics also tend to be affected by legislation.
We don't. It's just inertia.
I would have gone with a Monty Python reference.
