New comment by aendruk in "US DOT deleting bike lane references"

Just last week in Texas:

The driver, identified as 31-year-old Charles Medina, then sped past the couple from behind. Rapp’s boyfriend responded to the maneuver by raising his hands and yelling, at which point Medina slammed his brakes, skidded to a stop and accelerated in reverse. Medina ultimately hit Rapp so forcefully that his “rear windshield was shattered completely”. He also allegedly left skidmarks from having “rapidly accelerated backwards” as well as apparently “steering towards something while backing up”. Emergency responders found Rapp unresponsive and lying face down in the roadway. She was pronounced dead after being taken to a hospital.

So far I’ve only encountered one site that blocked automated access to its web feed. I assume that was just an oversight.

New comment by aendruk in ".gitignore Isn't the only way to ignore files in Git"

My computer doesn’t make .DS_Store files. If yours does, it’s your responsibility to not litter the codebase with them.

Corollary: My computer does make other kinds of files, and you’d never know it.
