Is this expected or an issue?
Readit NewsMountain bikers becoming injured isn't a question of IF, but WHEN.
If you have a coworker in their 30s or 40s who is just starting to get into mountain biking (a common midlife crisis hobby), expect them to have a MTB related injury within the next year.
Damn I hit 30 this year and planned to buy one.
Almost everyone I know that mountain bikes, had broken their collarbone.
I plan to purchase one in the spring. This thread is giving me second thoughts lmao.

And, walking in dense city, some of the "micro" spike traction aids are amazing for walking over the slipperiest surprise slick ice spots, like they're nothing.
Occasionally, I feel like I have to warn people coming the other way on the sidewalk, since I'll stomp right over, say, some ice that has has filled a porous sidewalk, and left a slightly wet layer atop that smooth surface -- basically, you'd have a lot of trouble simply standing on it without falling down, much less moving on it -- but the person coming the other way probably doesn't realize I've got gear making all the difference.
Can you share an example of what you're referring to?
I love it, but as someone who lives in Queens I think it’s underestimating by maybe 20% or 30%, particularly when a transfer or significant walking is involved (and I walk quite fast)
Yeah, I wish I could get from Astoria to Forest Hills in only 40 minutes.
Consent or starve
We can choose what jobs we work and find new ones unlike these pigeons.

Imo LLMs are dumb and our field is far from away from having LLMs smart enough to automate it. Even at a junior level. I feel like the gap is so big personally that I'm not worried at all for the next 10 years.
Are you serious? Look up SSJ-100 production numbers.
Compared to other airliners those production number are small.

The software that runs convenience stores is good. See. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42087100
Games. Sony, Nintendo, are we really saying the country that makes PlayStation and Nintendo's is 'bad' at software?
And, Didn't someone in Japan make the Ruby language?
I didn't quite find it. How are they categorizing Japanese software as 'bad' compared to any other country? Was it just because US Silicon Valley has had a few bigger startups in general? Is that really a good benchmark?
I just booked a trip to Japan. Every single website was pretty bad, from airliners to bullet trains and hotels. They all look like something out of 2005 and have confusing flows.
