I actually recently bought these yellow looking blue light filtering glasses and they help a lot against headlight glare. I can now drive at night again without being filled with rage. The downside is that everything is less visible. So it's not really a perfect solution.
It's all in this book: https://www.renehersecycles.com/shop/print/books/the-all-road-bike-revolution/
Go for something with wide tires so you're comfy on the dirt roads. Gravel bikes usually make you bend down pretty far, so they mostly make sense for bikers who put a lot of pressure on the pedals eg. go fast. They often don't come with lights, fenders, stand or rack to save weight. On the plus side, they have very comfortable handlebars (if you put enough pressure on your pedals to counteract your weight). In the end it all depends on your fitness and level of comfort you whish. I use a gravel with 47mm wide tires for a regular 20min commute. I go fast and put a rack on my bike so it's pretty much perfect for me. I can also do light mountainbiking or go on long rides with it. I like that I can use it for all kind of rides.
I agree on the saddle height. It's important to have it high enough so you can push efficiently.
About the tires, I don't agree 100%. Higher pressure might give you slightly better rolling resistance but will give you way more vibrations and shocks which makes you tired in the long run. I can poste a page of a book explaining this better if you like. In general it's important to have smooth tires (usually high thread cound and good quality rubber) for a low rolling resistance.

CLP/FD is definitely not bruteforce. It's Constraint Logic Programming of a finite domain (the variables have a finite amount of possible states). You write a very long text without even understanding a basic premise.
The federal government says its "best friends" are Europeans amid a drift with the United States, as Luxembourg opens an Ottawa embassy aimed at boosting a knowledge-based economy.

It's a bad idea to release insects from unknown origin even if it's a species that's native. They can have significant genetic differences to the local populations to cause all sorts of problems.
Try attracting them instead by having flower meadows, etc.
Does fusion power eventually end up being radiated away as heat? Would gigantic power generation through fusion not eventually end up heating our planet?
Emacs will always be abe to do things you can't do with other editors. It's a text based interface toolkit that happens to also have a good text editor and IDE capability. Buuut, you need to spend a lot of time to set things up. I use it since probably more than 20 years and I still often need to look up and learn stuff. If you want a tool and not a workshop, get a simpler editor.
I guess there is quite some truth to your hypothesis. Organisations who want to switch probably need help in Identifying the less desirable service providers and then in understanding how to substitute or upgrade to equivalent or better services. Imagine proposing an alternative to MS Teams and showing off a combination of services that could achieve the same or better things than Teams. also: your logo looks promising but could be improved quite a lot with minor adjustments.
Just came here to say that the guy looks like a creep!
You could upload content to make it better !
No, I rarely read the code of software I use, especially crypto code since thant's not my thing. But good to know that you did. Thanks for your opinion.
A gap in the pdf or actually a gap because you took years to figure it out? Both interpretations are funny.
Call me surprised if this was actually about AI replacing programmers vs signalling to the shareholders that the company got more efficient.
Is that security update thing an issue for GrapheneOS though? It is supposed to replace the Fairphone Android, no? Then again, I'm not familiar with the weirdness of the Android an embedded ecosystem.
So every time I drive my little car at night I'm filled with ungealthy rage afterwards and every time I think about what possible actions to take. This time I swore that I'd share some of my thoughts in order to help the movement gain more momentum. What comes is a collection of more or less well thought out ideas, don't take them too seriously.
- This is not really a political fight, it's about making the world better for everyone. We don't want to take away anything from you. We should try to not get the majority of people into a defensive position but rather educate about the problems and changes in lighting.
- Words are powerful. We need a word or wordmark that is easily understandable and that has a negative connotation without being too confrontational (like fuckyourheadlights).
- We should be cleverly about our strategy and take into account mass psychology. A big proportion of people have annoying headlights but either don't know it or maybe don't know how to make them less annoying. Make it so that the don't feel like they are the enemy but rather part of the solution.
- We should use official petitions or similar direct democracy tools if you have them in your country. Be clever and don't blindly start one. First gather a group of people willing to support it and have a good plan. Don't be confrontational, maybe ask for official investigation instead of bans.
- We should try to have science investigate the issue from a psychovisual point of view. This is all about people and not dry measurements and badly done specs. Try to include drivers eye-level and cars headlight height into the studies. Include spectral issues. White light can have a very different effect than more yellow or reddish light. Petitions could urge for scientific studies instead of bans or direct changes in policy.
- Include bike headlights, they are often as annoying as car lights. This issue highlights the alignment and height offset as parameters to the annoyingness and allows die hard car users to be included in the fight.
- The headlights issue is an issue for people in all groups of society. Be inclusive and use all kinds of platforms or media channels to spread the word. Be sure to consider 2. and use a common branding or word mark so small communities find their ways together into a big movement.
- Create songs, images and jokes to raise awareness of the topic. Don't point fingers but maybe make fun of people who have too bright beams without excluding them.
- Create material to help people to better align their lights or maybe dim them. Experiment with applying transparent foil to slightly reduce strength or change tint.
- Create a common signal to show other drivers that their lights are blinding. This could be for example: two short flashes and one long. Include this signal into your propaganda material. On bikes, remove your light and point into the eyes of the other biker until you have their attention, then point on their light. They will mostly understand the issue (unless they are dumb :/).
I hope to have brought up some interesting points for further discussion. What do you think?
The crusade against bright headlights has picked up speed in recent years, in large part due to a couple of Reddit nerds. Could they know what’s best for the auto industry better than the auto industry itself?
If you dislike being blinded by extremely aggressive headlights or other LEDs, this is the place to vent or organise!
A new community where people can just vent about or actually do coordinate action against the pest of ultra bright LEDs.
Someone made this nice protest song!

EDIT: I didn't mention the most important part. The device switches on a ventilator when the absolute moisture content outside is lower than inside a a certain room. This results in drying of the room that you ventilate like a basement with moisture issues. The dew-point acts as a proxy for measuring absolute moisture content.

Who can suggest an ethical SMTP provider for low volume transactional mail? I'm willing to pay up to 2€/month for a few hundred mails per month.
I need a beautiful electric kettle that will last a lifetime. Any recommendations? I'm willing to pay quite a bit.
