Thanks for linking Remeda! I also dislike the docs for fp-ts and that's killed adoption.

It's not about the format of the data, but the content. Personal Information (PI) can only be shared with consent, and only for clearly specified purposes. That's the Bad Thing they're reporting on, albeit somewhat poorly.

And there's strong(er) privacy laws is California USA, the EU, Switzerland, and the UK. That's just off the top of my head. So not just EU law being broken here.

London could just require they be left in designated bike parking. The plus side being that London would have to build far more bike parking, which is sorely needed in any case.

Go one step further and require the companies to ensure their bikes/scooters are returned to the corretc spots.

I can't speak for Paris specifically but we have infrastructure for e-scooters; It's bike lanes. If you have a bike lane available, you must use it. If not, the city has decided that mixing bikes/scooters/et. al. with cars is reasonable to do so at that location.

Failing, inadequate bike infrastructure is the real problem in most cases.

I know that many smaller therapists use Zoom for exactly the reasons you mentioned above - ease of use. They often don't have the technical know-how to assess the technology they're using.

The UK, for example, has hundreds of private mental health practitioners (therapists, psychologists, etc.) that provice their services directly to clients. They almost universally use off-the-shelf technology for video calling, messaging, and reporting.

I've had similar experiences with UK recruiters, and heard the same from colleagues and friends in the industry. Recruiters there seem to gather a lot of applicants for a role, promise the world, then drop most of them.

I have had good recruiters in the UK but they're few and far between.

Best to treat them like company contacts. Let them apply for a role or two for you, and contact somebody else for another role. I used a dozen recruiters at any one time when I was last applying in the UK.

It would be terrible loss to convert those business spaces into residential. One or two could be changed, as retail needs change over time, but removing possible retail and third space from near people's homes means less walkable neighborhoods.

Where I live, we have short term reuse laws that allow retail spaces to be used for residential, social, or other uses on a fixed basis. Typically a few years. The idea being to review the reassignment when the local needs change.

We get a lot of kindergartens that use these spaces, but also pharmacies, social clubs, and offices. Easy to move in and out.

Out of all five you've shared here (the three built in and these two), Trip is my favorite. The visualization seems fuller, maybe because it uses the whole width/height. It grabs my attention more than the others.

Cool project.

Exactly same here. I gave him too much food while I searched and returned to a dead paul :(

There's no issue with a non-free API, the issue is the pricing they've decided on and the timescale they've given to adopt it. 30 days notice isn't long enough to adopt a new pricing strategy, especially one so unreasonably priced.

Inside the casing, it did use a 2.5" drive.

Later in the linked article Gwin is quoted as saying he's sorry for what he did and it ws the result of a harsh reaction in the heat of the moment. He seems genuinely apologetic.

That doesn't justify his behavior of course, but it goes a long way to understanding the situation better; he tried to help and lashed out in frustration when it didn't work.

The real focus should be on the total failure of the city (and the US in general) to deal with the rise in homelessness.

Nah, 7'300 is a good bonus. I've never heard of a five-figure bonus outside of FAANG or long-standing senior positions in old companies such as law firm or banking.

I use this and love it! It's in my "must have" list of apps I install straight away.

You can install it with brew too: `brew install --cask rectangle`
