There are a bunch of these four-wheel bikes ( https://vokbikes.com/ ) rolling around where I live. They're meant for commercial use and are slow enough for sidewalks and they do have a roof covering the rider. Cost more

Same here. It's absolutely amazing for exploring an urban environment. Floating around in a large open space like a plaza is serene. It's not too fast and it doesn't go very far, but this hasn't been limiting so far. My

As a start you can just go to Thingiverse to search for a model that fills your need and send it to the printer. That would take you all of a couple of minutes. Per try, until it comes out ok. If you want to try your hand at 3d modelling th

The described system is absolutely great for selling your vote, as you can prove within 30 minutes of voting who you voted for. It also allows you to change your mind an unlimited number of times until the voting deadline. It is a very in

Chrome dev tools make testing RESTful backends with curl very easy: right-click on a request in network panel and choose "Copy as curl". Priceless little gem.

Also, the speaker looks pretty much like Jabra Speak 410. And the camera looks like a Logitech fullhd webcam without Logitech logos. Which are all admittedly excellent products for doing video meetings.

The "interpretation of computer programs" part is nice to know, in my opinion. But the book gives a whirlwind tour of a sizeable chunk of computer science on the way, and the examples are concise to the point of being beautiful. Great book.

In my opinion these examples are mere annoyances compared to the evil of the skype plugin. It actively monitors and modifies all of your browsing so it can inject those green skype "call" buttons in unexpected places. Now that I call evil.
