Ontario has now passed two different bills banning cell phones in school. It’s a great distraction from actual problems. I fully expect we’ll pass a third in a few years if our provincial government is re-elected

Teachers don’t need a sheet of paper at a legislature somewhere to take away cellphones. They can do that already, and if the kids disobey a legislature won’t help. I assume no one is expecting kids to go to prison for having a cellphone

The London thing does not apply to pedestrians

IBM owns Red Hat

Instead of dealing with proprietary rest APIs to manage every third party service you use, you can use a declarative, idempotent format to define infrastructure that’s compatible with all of them

That wouldn’t be an inaccurate description of Cities in Motion 2, which was the messy in-between stage between Cities in Motion (trains) and Cities Skylines (city builder)

13 years since Cities in Motion 1 is not multiple decades, and Cities in Motion 1 is in no way the same game as Cities Skylines

“Mommy, they are going to take my thumbs. Please pay the ransom. It’s $10k in Amazon giftcards. Mommy, please!”
