Other countries mange this with proper clothing and a variety of alternative public transit options.

Rain Capes are a popular solution for rainy weather when cycling.

Or you chose to avoid the bike that day and take the bus/streetcar/metro/etc.

I live in NYC and by far my favorite aspect is being able to decide between a variety for transit options that best suit the specific trip I’m making. For example, I typically commute by bike, but if it’s raining I can easily switch that trip to be on the subway.

America has one of the worst run freight rail networks in the world. Plighted by decades of deferred maintenance and destruction of existing infrastructure in service of the all mighty operating ratio.

Amtrak would be far more reliable without the American freight rail industry clogging up the lines with massive super trains and refusal to make capital improvements to the network.

The lengths Americans will go to to not build trains is astounding.

No. Reddit had turned into doomscrolling for me instead of a place I enjoyed spending time. I would find myself feeling worse after having browsed reddit, not better.

Switching to KBin has totally changed that, it's more like a forum I go to see stuff and chat with people instead of a hellscape of depressing news and vitriol. I do not miss reddit in the slightest and I can live without the one or two communities there I actually participated in.

This waste is also present in traditional injection molding in the form of sprues, runners, and gates (probably less, though it depends on the site specifics).

They just have no idea what value the site brings to their actual users.

Essentially, pushing a Reddit as a recommendation engine for “organic brand evangelists” instead of organic community communication.

I’m gonna swing by their booth tomorrow and report back.

I’m at Cannes Lions rn. There’s a ton of of the Reddit marketing team here overhearing their conversations with advertisers.

Lemme tell you, that place was doomed to start with.

Are there other maintainers charged with reviewing and merging code or just @ernest?

To clarify, by "admin" I mean the owner of the instance server, not necessarily people being granted admin privileges.

Point is they are not private.

Admins almost certainty have database access.

This is the solution. With enough small instances, not only do we provide a wide range of options to users, but we also distribute the hosting costs across the community.

The real benefit as I see it for using rust for backends is memory safety.
