BWS is actually an Australian liquor store brand. Beer-Wine-Spirits. Memorable enough once you get used to it as well.

I mean, it's literally the replacement population. 2 parents die, 2 children remain.

Technically you need a little more than 2 because people die without having children occasionally.

Umm, have you lived in any non-car dominated city/country? Multimodal public transport is a thing.

Have you tried running the Vscode + Linux Subsystem + Docker on Windows stack? It's been pretty good so far (a good writeup on this is at https://nickjanetakis.com/blog/setting-up-docker-for-windows...)

Thanks for sharing that link, author here.

Yeah I don't know why but on Windows the volume performance generally seems to be a lot better than Mac.

I have nothing but good things to say even on 5 year old hardware. Massive web apps (including using webpack) are very very speedy with volumes with a number of different stacks (flask, rails, phoenix, webpack, node).

I still use that set up years later and it's really solid.

It's already a video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qJT2h5uGAC0

Great video. One of the few infographic videos I've ever managed to watch in entirety

Then don't call yourselves anti-GMO?

I didn't say we were anti-gmo rather we are labeled as anti-gmo despite our reservations being about the patenting systems rather than the science.

Melbourne isn't just the CBD, though.

> They are free

In the free tram zone, sure, which is an area of less than 2 by 3 km. The longest tram route is 23 km long.

Is that Burwood highway one?

But yeah, I feel like they do their best work in the CBD.

There are some examples that come to mind of trams I don't like. The tram that goes down Toorak rd is a huge nuisance, mostly due to how the council has mismanaged that road.

There are two lanes. That tram shares the right lane with cars and cars are allowed to park on the left lane. It completely bottlenecks the road - probably its intended purpose so people pay for Citylink bypass.

Why is tech infested with know-it-all libertarians? Honestly, do you think we'd all be better off in a lawless anarchy?

Same reason "Let's just throw it away and rewrite it the right way this time!" is such a common failure mode of engineering projects.

While it nearly assures the death of the project, it's so enticing due to its simplicity.

The point isn’t to throw it away - law has meaning. It has less meaning when it defines everything.

I think the parent meant less laws, not lawless. Anarchy? No.

Correct. Typical knee-jerk reaction of our zeitgeist.

Sad, downvoted? Ok - what a way to inspire conversation. Thanks HN. Stay bright.

Cognitive artifacts exacerbate the fundamental attribution error in proportion to their social effect.

I can't speak for the rest of "tech", but this know-it-all libertarian prefers lawful anarchy to the lawless variety. :-)

(Not sure I'm really a libertarian either, but almost certainly a know-it-all)

yes.

That's horseshit. Granted, peak hour trains from Flinders are packed and using a laptop is a bit difficult since your elbows keep bumping into the next person sitting, but not being able to use a phone? People are always on their phones, reading, or knitting.

Yeah, I read the above comment with a four block to myself coming out of Flinders on the Blackburn line. Never? Come on.

Not in my experience of peak hours, no, never. Certainly not within the CBD, where I'm based.

Outside of peak hours is an entirely different story.
