It’s a pretty solved problem. In NSW, Australia we have automated systems for heavy vehicle noise fines. (They could of course be used for regular vehicles as well, we just don’t) For all vehicles the police can issue a defect notice to any

That resonates for me. I spend lot of time teaching volunteers. Early on, I encourage them to learn the skill from me, but also take any opportunity to have others explain and demonstrate the same thing to them. I tend to work from first pr

I was completely unaware of view transitions and speculation rules. All of my products are server rendered for speed and simplicity. It’s amazing how snappy the interface is when your pages just load quickly because your software is perform

Floodwater is horrible. Full of sewage overflow, agricultural runoff, etc. Any building contaminated with floodwater will at the least need to have all the furniture, floor covering, drywall etc ripped out and replaced. Even then you’re rol

Parenting isn’t just about defending your kid’s boundaries on their behalf. It’s also helping your kid to grow and expand those boundaries, and giving them the skills to manage them independently. The end goal is to create a happy, fully fu

Right, I see the quick shot in the video now. Looks like it would be inaccessible until the rear seat frames are removed. Also, it appears the only way to get the angle required to penetrate the adhesive disc is to clamber inside the vehicl

It appears to me that the positioning of that port is only useful when the battery pan has been removed from the vehicle. There is no way I’m crawling under an EV that’s already on fire while wearing breathing apparatus and wrestling a char

The people buying your ads want to know how many people saw them. If your ad is embedded in 3D space, when did someone “see” it? If they were standing at a 10 degree angle for 6 seconds does that count? 11 degrees and 5 seconds? With video

If the content of the commit is too small to be meaningful, the commit is too small. Either wait until you’ve done more before committing, or rebase -i before pushing your branch and merge up any piecemeal commits into better sized ones tha

> People seem to get "start a group chat" vs "send a message to each person individually." The WhatsApp groups for my kids school classes, bands and sports teams beg to differ. Communities seems like a legitimately us

Yes, absolutely. I would be shocked to learn of a jurisdiction in which that is not already the case that seems bizarre.

I am very much the target market for this and it looks super interesting. Some feedback on copy: from the website I thought the espresso machine worked like the flair et al where you pour water into a reservoir on top, so I dismissed it sin

Accuracy matters. The Glock 18 is the factory produced fully automatic. It’s intended to be used with a brace to assist recoil management and accuracy. It’s possible to fire full auto with reasonable accuracy and no brace. The amount of tra

In Sydney there’s so much rooftop solar generation that feed-in tariffs for grid connections frequently go negative. Ie: you have to pay the grid to have it take your excess power. From memory South Australia has had multiple occasions of b

Managing runoff is a factor in any vehicle fire, secondary to immediate protection of life, of course. Runoff is contained in binding, by digging ditches, etc. Contaminated runoff may then need to be removed by a specialised hazmat crew, de

If you add your fastmail account to iOS it’ll populate the inbuilt calendar and mail apps. Then you’ve got separate apps for each in addition to the fastmail app. Use whichever ones you please.

Recovering a car from a remote area can be a big job. Not only do you need a vehicle capable of getting into and out of the spot where the first car got stuck, it might need to do so while also carrying the first car. Dragging the first car

Definitions are hard. By that wording, any Land Cruiser outside the 70 series is forbidden because they're a full time 4WD. Nobody will argue that an 80, 100 or 200 series cruiser isn't a very capable 4WD. I don't begrudge th

You correctly interpreted my meaning with "none of the above". An older gen Forester with a good set of tyres fitted can fit the bill, for sure. The Subaru Brumby is an outback legend and you still see plenty of them rolling aroun

Actually independent wheel braking as part of an electronic traction control system is pretty common and _can be_ excellent. The Land Rover Discovery looks to have gotten a bit soft in the latest iteration, but they've used that system

Locking differentials are very useful in particularly challenging terrain. Think step rough rock climbs or soft sand. For punting along an average fire trail or dirt road, though, it’s clearance, strong tyres and suspension travel that’s mo

A server is just a computer. You could run this software on the computer in front of you, or a computer in a datacentre. Either is fine.

True. The context of this thread is discussing the process on iOS, and the hypothesis that it leads to lower adoption of PWAs on Apple's platforms. From the original comment: > > Apple said PWAs had "very low user adoption&q

Only Google and Microsoft app stores. Apple does not allow them. There are some tools which allow you to package up a pwa into an app that is essentially a thin shell around a webview. Whether or not Apple accepts such an app into their App

It’s a pretty clunky call to action, though. The simplest thing for the user would be a button right in the message telling you a PWA is available. “Tap here to install” and it’s done. Instead, you need to tell users “Hey, we have an app! N
