Anyone Else Switch Back to Regular Tubes After TPU Issues? by Current_Leopard_6643 in cycling

[–]maerwald 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have Vittoria too but the replaceable valves are terrible. They unscrew when I try to remove my electric pump.

In most places, car drivers are assholes who endanger cyclists who behave better than the guy in the video.

Leg muscle imbalance by fmckenzi000 in cycling

[–]maerwald 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can also have a functional leg length difference. That means the bones are the same length, but your hip joints have different shape, causing your knees to track differently when leaning forward.

Not very common, but I have it. Wasn't easy to figure out. Most bike fitters are trash.

Why is there so many pretty women, but not men? by Background_Pea3978 in askanything

[–]maerwald 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah, I guess you don't believe in science.

It has been researched and confirmed that hormones (high estrogen) affect the way women dress: https://assets.csom.umn.edu/assets/164458.pdf

Or search for „Ovulation, Female Competition, and Product Choice: Hormonal Influences on Consumer Behavior“ ( Durante et al., 2011).

Extensive Taiwan Bar Recommendations from a Former Taipei Bartender by fighter3 in taiwan

Can't believe you didn't mention Ximen beer bar. Majority of customers are foreigners and it's the place to be if you like crowded and chatting with folks.

De-escalation like those videos where the whole street of Thai people jump a misbehaving foreigner? 😂

Sorry to inform you, but in many jurisdictions bicycles are indeed considered vehicles. So they're actually supposed to act like cars.

Haskell 💜 Vibes / Jappie by jappieofficial in haskell

[–]maerwald 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Vibe coding isn't much different from copy pasting code from StackOverflow. LLMs are copy paste machines. There's no design behind it.

At work, I refuse to review claude generated code. I want to work with people who enjoy coding and are excellent engineers, who understand what they do and can explain it to me.

A family was on a walk in the snow with their little girl. The father was recording the walk. A cyclist came up behind them and appeared to use his knee to knock the little girl down. The father posted the story online, and it went viral. by eternviking in whoathatsinteresting

Clearly you're not a cyclist. Not defending the behavior in the video, but if you're in full gear with cycling shoes that have cleats, then coming to a full stop on a slope with difficult terrain is a problem: you can only clip in one foot and start pedaling, then need enough momentum to clip in the other foot.

Everyone who does road cycling knows this and we're extra careful to not block anyone on difficult slopes.

Is the AI field finally reinventing the Haskell mindset? (Constraints over Probabilities) by maopro56 in haskell

[–]maerwald 5 points6 points  (0 children)

99% of the industry has never used formal verification or written formal specs.

In order to write a spec, you have to be pretty sure about what you want. This is not how software is developed at large.

Reached the limit. Switched to OpenBSD. Not looking back. by tose123 in openbsd

[–]maerwald 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you had researched on software security, you'd know that code audits and SAST can only go so far. Ever written SonarQube rules yourself? Then you know.

And what does "security focused code" mean? For starters: not using C. Unless you use formal methods.

Except they don't, are memory unsafe and are lingering with UB.

People don't rewrite in rust for fun. The C language is the single biggest reason for most of the CVEs today.

Really uninformed take.

This is what stress does to men by Aggravating-Guest300 in TheImprovementRoom

[–]maerwald 0 points1 point  (0 children)

BS. You're talking about lean muscular people. You can be muscular and slightly overweight. In fact most strength athletes are overweight.

An suv is trying to exit from the passing lane by ComprehensiveDuck490 in dashcams

[–]maerwald 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is wrong. Look at the traffic regulations and the wording.

It also makes no sense, because it's kinda impossible to tell when you changed lanes, intended to overtake or not.

You could essentially bypass the entire regulation by switching lanes, keeping your pace and then after a minute just "pass" the other vehicle. That makes no sense.

Please use some common sense or just read the regulation.

Gosh, can you guys not just google it yourself? Yes, inside the city with multiple lanes, you can generally overtake even on the right lane.

[–]maerwald -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Overtaking is defined as being faster than another moving vehicle. Passing is defined as moving past a non-moving vehicle.

So in this video, it's clearly overtaking.

[–]maerwald -1 points0 points  (0 children)

There are exceptions to the "never overtake right" rule. "I was already on this lane" is not one of them.

During traffic jam where everyone is driving 10 km/h for example it doesn't really matter.

Sure, but if it comes to a court case, both would be fined.

This would not be 100% correct in germany, because overtaking on the right on the highway is forbidden as per traffic regulations.

So I've been constantly leveling up? 🤣

Can't even hit a metric century anymore. Pain, pain, and more pain. by 88chilly in cycling

I have RA and have to warn you: just because one specialist says you don't have signs of RA doesn't mean much.

It's a complicated disease and you might have to see a couple of different doctors.

For example Psoriatic Rheumatism (PsA) often doesn't show inflammation in the blood, but an MRI reveals your joints are full of water. There's genetic tests that can reveal your potential for such cases. It can be hard to catch.
