In this case I would suggest trying out grocery delivery services like Ocado in the UK.

Both of the examples that you provided are generally way less dangerous. Distracted driving is a common cause of deadly accidents. So I’d argue your examples are hardy equivalent. Using your phone in a stationary queue likely correlates with use while moving, which is significantly harder to capture.

It might feel dangerous but actual fatalities are very rare. So keep your eyes on the cars!

My reading is that diverse teams are seen as more productive and innovative. Another angle could be that given how impactful technology is, women need the seat at the table to take part in shaping it.

I think in many cases ebike can easily replace a second car in a family.

I find that one of the hardest things is to know what sounds natural. I found this website useful for checking specific phrases https://ludwig.guru.

I think red is generally used for long distance trails and other colours are used for auxiliary routes. Because of that, colour clashes are rare. Because all major intersections have arrows you just really need to remember your destination. Often you even have the information about public transport at the destination.

This is clearly due to lack of user testing.

I've been using ctypes for the exact same purposes and it has been pretty painless. Why have you decided to use FFI?

Clang static analyzer can be run as part of oclint run. It contains slower and more complex memory related checks.

Clang tidy has more style related checks. Where oclint is better at diagnosing complexity.

Saying that, I've recently felt like the development of clang tidy has been much more active and it will become the do-it-all tool very soon.

Today I was looking into using the VS Code debugger for embedded C and I was surprised that the c/c++ extension is not open source. Does anyone know the reason?

I’ve noticed the same thing. Do you by any chance have a catch-all address? That was the major source of spam in the inbox for me.
