Using all that asphalt doesn't increase throughput at the chokepoint, right? If the queue is long enough that people who want to exit before the chokepoint are needlessly prevented from accessing the exit, then using all the lanes could help, but it won't get anybody through the chokepoint any faster that I can tell.

My naive understanding is that forceless spacetime distortion predicts somewhat different things than the old model. That's how general relativity finally explained the procession of Mercury's orbit for example.

Ssh can do TUN/TAP tunneling. There might be some cool lightweight VPN features you could enable using that. I do serveo.net by the way!

I run another alternative serveo.net. As far as I can tell, it was the first or second to use SSH for the client/transport. It was down for a couple years but is running again since March.

Are you satisfied with your friendships? I daresay it's more important to have abundant friendship than any romance, besides the fact that friendship leads to love.

My resume is an XML document and a stylesheet I feed to Prince (https://www.princexml.com/), which is an amazing piece of software. I also used it once to generate a book I had printed by some on-demand printing company. I got great output out of it.

Because a few hundred people upvoted it over the last few hours. That I know for sure, though I can't speak to their reasons for visiting HN in the first place.

Security and simplicity. Such a low-maintenance system. When I sign in to any Chromebook, my wallpaper, shortcuts, and settings are just as I left them. For example, I may never have to find the setting to maps caps lock to escape ever again if I stick to ChromeOS.

Certain placebos only work when administered by a doctor in a clinic (heard it on some podcast once). Seems like ketamine could have different effects in different environments.

Could do something like this:

    async function test() {
        const promise = Math.random() < 0.5 ?
                        Promise.resolve('wow') :
                        Promise.reject('oops');
        try {
            await promise;
        } catch (e) {
            console.log('caught');
            return;
        }
        const result = await promise;
        console.log('result', result);
    }
    test();

> Programming in a foreign language is a pretty significant barrier.

There are only a handful of English words you have to memorize. Music students have to memorize a handful of Italian words to follow written music. It hasn't been a problem.
