Basically if you need the same logic in two places instead of copying it to the second place you make it into a function and use that function in both places.

That way if you need that logic to change you only need to make that edit once regardless of whether you use it one time or one thousand times.

As a Swiss person I would like to apologize for that woman’s “English”.

Busses have their uses. Lots of commentor have mentioned the flexibility in setting up / changing routes. But there’s also the flexibility in sizes. You can start a line with a large van or small mini bus and your only overhead is the driver. From there you can scale that up according to demand up to frequently run articulated busses. Meanwhile your minimum investment for tram includes at the very least a not inexpensive track installation.

Don’t get me wrong. If you have the passenger volume that investment definitely pays off. But I don’t like this unnecessary competition between two modes of transport that can be very complimentary to each other and are both better than individual cars.

Humanity has a long tradition of lightening the mood in dark situations with (sometimes inappropriate) humor. Internet memes are simply one of the newer iterations…

It’s SinnERman - he’s not a spice, Maze!

They had Emma Watson!

Republicans are probably fully on board with these new charges. I hear they have quite the obsession with former white house residents deleting stuff that pertains to the government from private systems…

For his post is dark and full of errors.

Uhm. GoT isn’t exactly the first to use this expression…

We made delicious Jambalaya Tuesday evening. Such a great dish! Tasty and you’re basically just throwing ingredients in a pot and make sure they don’t burn…

Remove? No. Overcome? We’re already doing it.

Our society is far more accomodating than it has ever been. Different sexes, ethnicities, skin colors, religions, sexual orientations, gender identities and whatnot enjoy more acceptance and equality now than ever before. Something like the EU - a voluntary alliance of this size - would have been unthinkable probably just 100-200 years ago. And for all its flaws the participating nations have grown closer through it.

We still got ways to go particularly internationally and we must be ever vigilat against those that want to drag us backward but the progress is undeniable.

The Lemmy Project has been activated. You are our first and last line of defense!

It’s Europe, not a fairy tale. We do in fact renovate and change our streets occasionally. A clear indicator are the fancy cut grey slabs and the metal disc. I can guarantee you those are not there since the time of horse and carriage. Also the red bricks would be waaay more worn down by now if they were that old.

Biggest thing for me would be an indicator whether this is a recipe, question/discussion or just an “I ate a thing” post. Those deliniate different use cases and are not necessarily easy to differentiate based on the title.

There are multiple additional parking spaced behind the car. Replacing one spot with bike parking still allows both modes to visit the shop but provides an increased number of visitor spaces.

It’s not an old video game. They’re not immovable parts of the level design. You can likely move or bump them out of the way enough to pass through.

Meanwhile right next to them is a huge metal box that stole 4 times as much sidewalk, transported half as many people and is literally un-moveable if you’re not in a heavy motorized vehicle.

When I learned to drive there was a pretty big emphasis put on paying attention to cyclists in round abouts. Nowadays the official rule for how a bicycle should go through a round about is: in the middle of the road. Even as a car driver I love the boldness of this approach.

I find this post hilarious in a really sad and aggravating way.

Everyone complains how the bikes block the path for pedestrians, strollers, wheelchairs. But pictured on this very same image is how the entire sidewalk is narrowed to make room for cars. That one car takes up twice as much space as those two bikes and likely transported half an many people. And if you’re on foot, in a wheelchair or pushing a stroller you can push the bicycles out of the way. You can’t push the car out of your way.

I am really excited about these applications. There’s a significant pushback in my country - Switzerland - against renewables under the argument of “where are we gonna put all this energy generation?”. If we can hold up “over agricultural land” as an answer that not only offers huge swaths of land but is also beneficial for the agriculture that’ll be a huge win. If you can show a farmer here, that he’ll get better yields for less water AND can sell the electricity on top of it, he’ll do it no matter how much his party is ranting against renewables.

Obviously we’ll need to figure out which plants benefit from the shade and which don’t. So I’m glad this has already started.
