As a Jakarta resident I can confirm that the bus transit system (TransJakarta) have massively helped mobility amongst the populace. With a flat fare of 2 cents you can get from one end of the city to the other; it's an amazing system.

Doujin works are made with the awareness that they are parodies of the original work. It does not alter the body of the original work in any way and, as the term itself means, self-published. It is made without any direct affilation in regards to the original work.

It's a combination of two existing characters, the rei as in meirei/命令 (order, command) and wa as in heiwa/平和 (peace, harmony). No new characters need to be reserved.

It means both the sender and the receiver of the message, if coerced, can without coordination have a degree plausible deniability for the contents of the message.

For example, I send you the message "CIA" encrypted using this scheme. Theoretically, it should be impossible for any third party to prove that I send "CIA", because I can give up a different decryption key that decodes the ciphertext to, say, "NSA". Similarly, on the receiving end, you can give up a different decryption key that decodes the ciphertext to, say, "FBI".

This scheme also means it is impossible for a third party to discover who is giving up the 'truth' in such scenarios (for example if I told the truth and decrypted the ciphertext into "CIA", while you lied and decrypted the ciphertext into "FBI", the third party has no way to know which one is correct, or if either of them are fake).

For the same reasons as Rust, both are in the middle of their growth phase and mass adoption stages.

Thank God, finally a proper "Getting Started" guide for Go Modules. The official docs and wiki page always felt so obtuse and unhelpful about how to actually use the feature, while dep at least offers the obvious "dep init then dep ensure and you'll be fine" solution.

So just adding that one line automagically sets up all HTTPS-related headaches for you? Amazing.

Doesn't the account in the article run counter to the narrative that cows are massive greenhouse gas producers? Is there an alternative to grazing that would not require cows?

Go makes it really hard to do stupid things, and that makes it a really good language.

Advent of Code is a really fun event in general and an excellent problem-solving exercise, I remember how /g/ won last year's global leaderboard. I'll definitely going participate this year as well.

Hopefully those safety concerns will force cities to accommodate electric scooters as part of their transportation infrastructure, leading to proper lanes, safety inspections and docking stations, instead of banning them nilly-willy.

The current urban infrastructure in America are build for automobiles, specifically cars, with bikes being an afterthought. The mass adoption of electric scooters will eventually cause a wake-up call for city planners, and will hopefully put the brakes on car culture.
