I call bullshit.

If you were coding in the 80's i have hard time beliving you did not use math in Pascal or COBOL. And i remember needing lots of math with anything 3d in 2000

Also you cant state all mathematicians make horrible programmers because they often lack the "real programming side". Its not a boolean. They might be bad coders because they are bad at coding, not because they are mathematics. Its like saying all painters are bad writers. Both coding and math have a lot of overlapping qualitities and people who understand other have easier time learning other, but it does not mean they are inherently good or bad in the other one.

I personally have never understood that attitude. Dont get me wrong im not judging you. In my mind i just rather do something productive than idle on my phone, more so if there is even small change it will lead in to something better in the future and so far it has been paying off.

And from the employer side, if the shit hits the fan and there is layoffs, they will rather keep the dude that is effective and knows how to do things outside their job description, than the dude whose job has lots of downtime and they show bo enthuastism to doing other things.

As a warning for people who live in countries that have poor worker rights:

Depending of your local laws, contract and field, personal projects done during work hours and/or on work hardware might be seen as companys property.

Yeah and donkeys kill more people per year than sharks and more people die at their home every year than at volcano eruptions and earthquakes put together.

If you want to quantify danger of something you need to account the number of encounters.

And you did not answer the question.

Only thing i agree with you is that this is dumb.

Getting fine from public intoxication is just so weird concept for me. Especially when thinking some assbackwards places where its legal to carry a gun in public, but carrying open beer bottle is punishable.

Also drunk cyclist can be dangerous. If they collide with pedestarian or another cyclist there is good change for a hospital trip, or in extreme cases morgue. Especially now when e-bikes are more common.

Few years back some drunkard who was biking at the side of large road suddenly and without any signal crossed the road and allmost got hit by my car. I needed to pull over after that and wait for some time to get my hands stop shaking. If i would had bad brakes he would be dead and i would be traumatised, or if there would have been another car following me there would have been a crash.

Reason why i think its dumb is that if the punishment for driving a car and driving a bike is more or less the same, more people are going to choose the car.

That is not how economics work.

If you wanna see extreme case search hyper inflation in Hungary after ww2. There was basically a time when every 15 hours price of everything doubled because the goverment just kept printing more money.
