Never underestimate the power of spite! :)

Is there a reason reader mode doesn’t work on mobile Safari? (Pinch zooming and horizontal scrolling is painful.)


Mobile Safari's reader mode works for me on posts. It doesn't work on home pages but I don't expect it to; home pages aren't wrapped in <article> elements, it's not semantically appropriate, but posts are.


Hmm. No idea why. I'll take a look, this should work.


> cyclists simply cannot keep up with posted speed limits

Do you not understand what the word "limit" means?


Speed limits + cars set an implicit speed minimum that is required for both safety and to not cause mad cars who are trying to go the speed limit. There's a reason you'll get pulled over for going 20mph on a US highway, and it's a legal oversight to have high speed streets that don't have minimums, or worse are designed to share with bikes even though the average bike won't hit a safe speed minimum.


So the legal maximum is ignored, the absent legal minimum is demanded. Doesn't this seem inherently dysfunctional?

The maximum is there precisely so drivers can respond to slower traffic, not so all traffic will conform to that maximum.


> Doesn't this seem inherently dysfunctional?

The whole point of the thread is that bikes and cars sharing the road with these sharrows is dysfunctional so yes, that's the point...

> The maximum is there precisely so drivers can respond to slower traffic, not so all traffic will conform to that maximum.

I don't know of a single place in the US where the maximum isn't treated as something to conform to. I've driven in the Northeast, South, and California. You'll get honked at for going noticeably under the maximum in all three places. What you describe just simply isn't the practicality of the US roads.


I absolutely understand what the speed limit is. And understand that in most jurisdictions it is perfectly legal to go under the speed limit, however that makes it no less annoying. When you are following someone in a car going incredibly slow are you not annoyed? You want to pass them, but you don't want to do so unsafely, so you have to wait for a safe opportunity the whole time just wishing they would go the posted speed limit. Then someone behind you gets even more impatient and passes both of you creating an unsafe environment for everyone.


Try driving 15mph in a 45mph zone and see how long it takes you to get pulled over.

Driving significantly slower than the speed limit is unsafe, too.


In many jurisdictions there is also a legal minimum speed stated within the statutes, often based on some value below the posted limit. They are often unknown to most drivers (and cyclists) because the minimum speeds are almost always not placed on signage on the roadway. But legally, there is often a minimum speed as well as the more well known and visible maximum speed.


Years ago, Apple banned Camera+ for allowing to take a photo with the volume switch (instead of using an onscreen button). It was "too confusing" and against their Human Interface Guidelines. Then they added that exact feature to the default iOS camera app.


24 was perhaps a bad number to choose, since I read that as 24 hours - which seemed a bit hasty. They could have written "November 9, 2022" or "two years" which seems further into the future.


Maybe i had low expectations, but i was impressed with homepod siri's understanding and how much it could do. I don't know why Apple doesn't just publish a list of all the commands. I documented what i found if anyone is interested:

https://xinsight.ca/homepod/


Apple does have this page: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT208336


Or it backfires when people realize their newly purchased, expensive car doesn't do what they thought it could do. Tesla is not managing expectations well.


That's what the 7 day return period is for.


Not all log levels are persisted to disk (info and debug, i think?) so yes, there is info that you cannot get from `tail -f`


However, you can get all this information with the `log stream` command.


Maybe people are only just now starting to see Apple's intentions of locking down their system. I remember it being a bad omen a few releases back when i found i could no longer (easily) delete the Chess.app.


This was the one of the wonderful bit of insights from the suprisingly deep and insightful show "Bojack Horseman". Basically, there is is no such thing as "deep down inside i'm a good person". You are your actions.
