I think some of the stuff you worry about as a kid will just arise naturally. Ideas like not stepping on cracks, or imagining monsters in dark places are likely produced spontaneously and naturally by an underdeveloped ape brain.

But it'd be nice if we didn't tell kids about old superstitions, yeah. Wait until they're old enough to react with dismissal about the stupid stuff people used to believe.

The translation here actually makes it come off as more normal than the orange slime-eel currently in office

Yep. The colour theory stuff in there makes MBTI and horoscopes look detailed and well-documented in comparison

Yeah, road wear scales with mass⁴ afaik, so if the average bike with biker weighed 100kg (it doesn't) and the average car weighed 1000kg (it doesn't) you'd need 10000 bikes to make as much impact as that one car. Since cyclists are generally lighter and cars heavier, the ratio is much higher.

I would also imagine that the lower speeds and acceleration a cycle is involved in contributes—the tyre just isn't subjected to as much force.

I've been using neovim for years (and the vim family for decades), and I guess with LSP it's pretty much an IDE these days.

I mean, we eat a lot of open-topped sandwiches in general. Having them warm is fine for variation!

You'll likely also want to check out ruff for linting and formatting, by the same company that makes uv. It doesn't enable a lot of lints by default, but there's a long list of checks to enable.

They also have a typechecker, ty, which is still in early alpha. If it's as good as their other tools I expect it to become the standard for typechecking Python. Currently you'll likely want to go with pyright for that.

I think it's far more likely that the article that doesn't know what "sweep under the rug" means also got other stuff wrong.

There's nothing probable about the combination of a Nordic country and a 9-hour workday.

Yeah, would suck if it wound up failing now because of clown signatures. A buffer of real signatures is very good!

How does a 36-hour workweek work out to a four-day workweek?

Here in Norway everyone in sneezing distance of a union deal has a five-day workweek at 7.5 hours a day, for 37.5 hours in total. (The law says six days at 8 hours; the half-hour difference is in practice lunch, which is your own time with a union deal and the boss' time without. I think we could go down to 7h a day and get an hour of lunch like our neighbours.)
