Depends on the domain. We develop SDKs based on hundreds of specs for thousands of customers in almost as many different domains, and we have to be compatible with third party implementations that aren't spec compliant. I'm still learning stuff every day after six years. There's so much I've forgotten even from the decade preceeding that at other companies in related fields, and then had to relearn to teach the current developers who never had any exposure to specific issues. Sometimes I toy with the idea of changing to a more focused job... and then you get to the crux of this story.
You could extend your argument to any law enforcement agency, and this would really expose the fallacy of your argument. This wasnâ(TM)t just any law enforcement agency though, but Parliament itself, and Parliament is supreme. The comments in the article about the San Mateo court are utterly farcical and hypocritical. The fact of the matter is that FB and CA have lied to Parliament, obstructed justice and if I were Mark Z. Iâ(TM)d now be careful about things like which Caribbean Island to holiday on.
New York's metro fares cover less than half (47%) of costs. It's a fair question to ask why that is? Material too old?
That wiki page says London is at a 107%, and itâ(TM)s older.
It also says:
flat rate fare structures have lower farebox recovery ratios, placing more pressure to the transit agencies to increase taxes, pursue higher fare hikes, or to cut services to maintain the transit system.
Maybe time to change the fare structure on the MTA?
Thatâ(TM)s fair point, and I hadnâ(TM)t really consider spreading the cost. I was thinking more along the lines of penalising lower density forms of transportation further, and to your point, that becomes a double whammy (which isnâ(TM)t necessarily bad)
Ok, come to London then. The first, and the oldest (1863), and it works well. Yes, the Tube's a bit cramped by modern standards and they haven't been able to fit things like A/C on some of the lines, but visiting NYC and riding the subway there feels like a step back to the 1970s. Not quite as old, but go to Moscow and see another older system that works even better than London does. I think it's a fallacy claiming that the age of the system is the problem. But it is like software engineering, where if you don't take care of the technical debt in managable chunks as you go along, you end up drowning in broken unmaintainable shit and buggy hard to use product that users hate.
I think you need to factor in transportation density. A bus will carry far more people than the cars that require the same amount of space. Don't like publc transport? Then cycle. I see large numbers of cyclists filling the gaps between the cars (better density) here in London, and they're faster than surface and underground transportation.
Taxes or pollution/congestion charges targetting less desirable road users could also help fund the transit system and encourage people on to more desirable forms of transportation.
Remember, you don't sit in a jam or suffic traffic problems if you're in a car, because you are traffic, you are the problem. Take lane of traffic away and give it to cyclists or trams and people will switch rather than suffer. They'll probably protest and vote the other way, so you have to find a way to build up to it.
I have very old Apple laptops that still work perfectly well.
With no updates, ever, unlike Linux.
Well that's not true. My MBP bought in Feb 2008 (MacBookPro3,1) is still running great and in the last few months received both Security Update 2018-004 and the Safari 11.1.2 patch from Apple, and lots of application vendor updates.
I heard comments at the time that Kim Briggs walked out in to the road without looking because she was looking at her phone, although I can't find anything to cite online now. This is a serious problem in London and one of my biggest fears as a cyclist here. All the anti-cyclist politics that have spewed from this don't seem to be addressing this issue.
Charlie Alliston was a complete idiot and his comments on social media were rightly used against him. This article in the Guardian though brings up some interesting points about stopping distances in this case and the bias against cyclists in general: https://www.theguardian.com/en...
If a pedestrian can walk suddenly in to the road then you need to slow down. The Highway Code rules 205-210 (especially 207) make this clear: https://www.gov.uk/guidance/th...
There's been recent talk of changing the law to give pedestrians and cyclists even more, and more explicit protection.
Perhaps the biggest point though: rules and general expectations of behaviour differ from country to country. You better get the software in your self-driving car right.
P.S. As you can from this section of the code, we don't have any jaywalking laws, unless you count the motorway pedestrian ban or instruction not to climb barriers as such.
The ability to remove these apps doesn't really mean much in terms of disk space or convenience
It means a lot in terms of clutter. That translates to a convenience issue.
Microsoft now seem to be copying Apple in terms of apps and integrating with a mobile phone (Android) based ecosystem. They seem insistent on pushing those apps in your face as tiles on the start menu, etc, which is highly irritating.
I remember my first PC came with a fairly big manual. It had pages with diagrams explaining how a window is a view on to a larger sheet and scrolling moves that view around. Weâ(TM)ve come a long way since then and we all have at least a basic understanding of the fundamentals. Explaining the 3.5â floppy disk icon as the save action to kids these days is amusing though.
A lot of things just donâ(TM)t require much in the way of a manual these days. Paper isnâ(TM)t always the best choice, and seems downright wasteful given how many times it will probably be used. I am happy to get a decent PDF manual though, for instance with my DSLR camera, it _occasionally_ comes in useful when I want to experiment with a new feature. In this case I have it on Dropbox and handy on my phone.
Google search popping up AMP pages convinced me to ditch Google search and switch to DuckDuckGo.
Recently Iâ(TM)ve noticed website links in the Google maps app using a pop-up window with AMP content (and thus broken web browser functionality). AMP annoys me more than the shitness of Apple maps annoys me. It looks like Google is trying to convince me to ditch their maps product now and use Apple maps. What a result Google, well done!
How many people heard that DLSRs take better pictures, so they went out and bought the cheapest entry level model with a kit lens? It's the glass stupid. If you want good photos, you have to put good glass on that SLR. I think my first lens cost 50% more than the camera body, and it was worth every penny. I don't mind carry it around either, but that's a personal preference.
Nonsense. That's just you not wanting to carry around a separate camera. They do some amazing things in software in these phones, but looking at mobile phone photos on a real screen and working with them in Lightroom is just fucking depressing, especially when they're seen alongside photos from my six year old P&S and 8 and 2 year old DSLRs. I'm certainly no "professional photographer", but that doesn't mean I'm part of the take-a-million-shit-photos-and-post-them-all-online-and-never-look-at-them-again brigade.
I donâ(TM)t believe you. Maybe you only shoot static objects? People move though and with an in-focus depth of less than 1 cm, itâ(TM)s easy for example to get the tip of sonebodyâ(TM)s nose in focus and their eyes out of focus, which is essentially a useless photo. And yes, I also have an 80D and a 50mm f/1.4.
I have an iPhone and an APS-C DSLR (not a high end full frame one), and the iPhone doesnâ(TM)t even come close. Even comparing the photos on the small phone screen that hides the more obvious sensor noise, differences in clarity, etc. Apple do some amazing things in software, but they do not come close to the DSLR in any measure but convenience.
You donâ(TM)t have to go rural for that: I live in one of the biggest cities in Europe and this is a frequent obstacle for me. Something to do with ridiculously rich people and all that ceremonial calvary the tourists seem to live and their centrally located barracks.
How about multiple people watching 4K60 video on multiple devices concurrently? Meanwhile somebody starts uploading hundreds of MB or even GBs of photos and videos and because most ISPs are cheap on upload bandwidth, everybody else's video stream stalls or drops to a lower bandwidth rendition. Families sitting around one TV are a dying breed.
Your point would be relevant if the diagram refers to the ancient square mile of the City of London. Or did they measure the 600-700 sq. miles of the modern city?
All good points, but ummm, why would you want that in the license plate? Put this inside the vehicle where itâ(TM)s secure, isnâ(TM)t exposed to the elements and wonâ(TM)t have accidental knocks. A digital screen is great if you need to change the contents, but s license plate never changes, so whatâ(TM)s the point?
