That's the nature of having existing players with significant market share but no standardized spec. OTel was/is in the same boat where in order to be a successful project, first you have to integrate with the products orgs are already using.

Why?

Interviewing as a process sucks enough as it is. It should just be a culture fit filter that takes you all of 15 minutes to say yes or no to.

Technical interviews are lame and filter for people that are good at technical interviews, not people that are good at the job.

The cities would have been responsible for building sidewalks to the bridge. If you look around where the bridge is on modern maps you'll see that a lot of the residential area on the North side of the bridge (Richfield) just doesn't have sidewalks.

Whoa, you expect someone to drop an inflammatory opinion AND offer a reasonable alternative?

What's next, real world data to back up their claims? Research papers offering corroborating evidence?

This is the internet, we don't do that here.

The Christian parable only applies if the puritans are in the minority. Judging by the comments in this HN thread alone, more people are in favor of whitewashing language than against.

I, for one, do not look forward to an internet where the only allowable form of humor is some combination of popsicle stick jokes and regurgitated memes.

There are those that would say HN is no different.

Because even if they are guilty, there's no way they'd make a fake graph.

I've been a redditor from the beginning, and have always agreed with the sentiment that communities should reflect their userbase.

The issue comes when in the case of /r/politics moderators do something outside what the majority sentiment is. Change comes slow, it's far easier to get a mod removed than it is to get 3 million subscribers to move to a new subreddit with a "better" moderator team.

That would be a bummer.

You could still find a place close by where you could rinse off and clean up quick before heading into the office.

There are an innumerable number of ways you could make it work if you actually wanted to.

I can respect that it's far more inconvenient for you than it is others, and that may be enough of a hurdle to just never make it worthwhile.

As far as the humidity and high 90s, the Land of 10,000 Lakes gets our share of shitty weather. It takes a real commitment to continue through it.

There's so much misinformation about cycling going on in this thread.

There really needs to be better education regarding commuting via bike.

"I sweat too much" = you're likely out of shape. "The weather is too inclimate" = wear appropriate clothing. "I live too far away" = 15 miles in an hour is very reasonable.

Minnesota has heat indexes in the summer similar to the Middle East, in the winter we can get windchills <= -20F, yet Minneapolis is one of the best cities for cycling in the United States.

Basic car maintenance falls under responsible ownership.

I'm a cyclist, but I know how to fix the common things on my vehicle.

I'm sure there are people that own bikes that are clueless in fixing them, much the same as there are people that own cars that haven't a clue. That doesn't mean there aren't people out there that could strip and rebuild either on their own.
