This is a disingenuous argument - cars are "full members of the public traffic" and are regularly involved in minor and major collisions with each other. Drivers are rarely killed or seriously injured in these collisions, whereas it's almost impossible for a cyclist to escape these collisions without an injury. "Some people are terrified" because injury and death is a very real possibility in traffic.

The primary issue with road safety is not the speed of cycling but the presence of motor vehicles. The only adequate mitigation is to make them go very slowly to reduce the energy of collision (on side streets) or eliminate them (on well-designed, segregated bike paths). The fact that Germany is not very good at segregation does not invalidate the concept - just look at the Netherlands for an example of what can be achieved.
Wow, I never knew about "$@" that's a super handy tip. Now I just need an excuse to write a shell script :)
The 6 Plus will be 3 years old in a month. The fact that its still a powerful phone, and will receive OS updates for another couple years speaks volumes about iPhone longevity vs. Android.
My old Manager's last name is Blank. The sad thing, given blank isnt a reserved word at all, is he has the same problem. I think its EventBright or Ticketmaster, i forget, but one of those sites wont accept "Blank" as his last name, literally with the message of "Last name can not be blank" ...
That's good to know, actually. Thanks! Sorry about my tone before. Are there any other platforms that actually benefit from autotools, that you're aware of?
Someone might exploit a loophole but it's not based on where the rows in the database are legally claimed to reside. The tax dodging has two main flavours afact: refusing to domesticate profits so it's stuck in limbo (this is what apple is doing in Ireland) and moving money into structures where people pretend they don't own it (owning offshore companies who own London property (UK MPs do this) or having a subsidiary 'pay' for use of a corporate brand so it's marked as an expense in a high tax jurisdiction and the tax is paid (maybe) in a low tax jurisdiction (Starbucks does this)).

The fund being in the Cayman islands in it's own isn't a tax loophole.

5,000+ pedestrians killed by vehicles in 2015. But let's start worrying about e-bikes!
I'm not generally in a rush; if they can get it here in a week or two that's fine as long as they tell me what day it'll be here.

I'm not saying it's a great deal for the company, but what can you expect consumers to do if Amazon has the cheapest price AND prime shipping you already paid for?

That said some companies at least raise their prices on purpose when posting to Amazon in order to meet their standards for things like returns and Prime shipping.
Why is it established there then?
I don't think the binary AST proposal changes the accessibility status quo. In my mind, the best analogy is to gzip, Brotli, etc.

If you had to have a complicated toolchain to produce gzipped output to get the performance boost, that would create a performance gap between beginners and more experienced developers.

But today, almost every CDN worth its salt will automatically gzip your content because it's a stateless, static transformation that can be done on-demand and is easily cached. I don't see how going from JavaScript -> binary AST is any different.
I don't think this makes sense in the context of a U2F or TOTP device.
A reasonably fit 6' - 6'4" person with average proportions will fit comfortably in a "Plus" seat. I'd imagine 6'6" wouldn't be too different.

Make sure it's a "Plus" seat though. I guarantee a regular seat will be an exercise in pure misery for the duration of the flight.

Replying to matt, not sure why his post was flagged (aside from veering off my topic):

>People protesting against Nazis aren't... >That means...

You theorise a lot about the opposing side on this one occasion, that is contrary to what we've seen for a year from american political clashes.

>But anyway... The definition of terrorism is politically motivated violence. Not calling this terrorism, when it's using literally the same method as ISIS has been using in the last years, is starting to make it really hard to believe that all these free speech advocates aren't just trying to hide their sympathies for the skinheads they're defending.

Drunk drivers "use the same method" to kill people. What's really depressing is the fact that lights a bulb in people's head that says terrorism. It means they don't have actual definitions of words in their heads. I'm not a nazi sympathiser at all, thank you. And believe any of those at Charlottesville truly concerned with white heritage and statues failed themselves by association (nevermind carrying torches..).

The main problem I've seen is that they have a different acceleration curve than a road bike -- they take off from a dead stop faster than a road bike, but for some reason most top out a few mph lower than a slow road bike (15-18mph?).

The result is that they rudely pass all the bikes at each stop light, repeatedly forcing the bikes to pass them in car lanes once everyone gets back up to speed.
Listen to yourself.

Edit: Nobody is suggesting that cars be made illegal. But pretending (yes, pretending) that bicycles, even e-bikes, are a threat to the safety of pedestrians is not supported by any facts or statistics. It seems disingenuous to ignore the elephant in the room: Drunk driving accounts for approximately half of all pedestrian fatalities in the US. When talking about pedestrian safety, it's ridiculous to devote resources to activities that don't comprise any significant portion of pedestrian deaths. Talking about bicycles as a real problem for pedestrian safety is nothing but an emotional circle-jerk.
The value proposition has always been that if it can succeed success being defined as being one of the major crypto currencies to see adoption, then just taking 1% of the global gold market, black market transactions, and remittances; its worth around 5k-ish already.

I would consider it a gamble and not an investment. Some call it a new asset class that isn't correlated to other assets, which is valued by portfolio managers. Its high risk high reward, if you understand why it has value and want exposure to the risk, put in enough that you are fine losing. This is still a grand social experiment and still could plummet in price at ANY time.The government regulatory clarification we have seen over the past few years has lessened the risk of a government crackdown at least.

This is not financial advice.

My shepherd is by no means special yet he asks 'Why?'.

He plans, hopes, and most definitely has and could express wishes. And while his intelligence is limited and very material in a pragmatic way he does possess a language (that I'm still learning) and he could reason.

He is not into abstractions, but, perhaps, could master one or two with a sufficiently tasty motivation. But he understands generalisations, conditionals and iterations.
Reminds me of the time we ordered our high school football jerseys. We filled out a form listing the requested size and spelling of our last name to be printed on the back of our jersey. A couple of weeks later, all the jerseys were delivered and we excitedly opened up the packing boxes to hand them out. Imaging the surprise and ensuing hilarity when our good friend, Marshall Blank's jersey came out of the box with no name printed on it whatsoever.
I'm plenty capable of going dangerously fast on a regular bike but if I'm in a congested bike lane or passing pedestrians on a multi-use trail I slow down. I don't see how having a motor would suddenly cause common sense to fly out the window.

And of course, when riding in traffic, keeping pace with the cars is better and not everyone has the fitness to pull it off.
You're welcome. The most important thing to remember is that this was a huge conflict with over 100 years of build up.
There's a lot of complicated history that makes things ugly all around.

It's fascinating to read about though.

What I've found is the easiest way to find where there are holes that need to be explored is just by asking "Why?" anytime you hear of an event. If you're given history and just told, "this happened, then this happened..." the quickest way to get an answer to something is to simply ask "Why did they do that?"

That simple question will point you in the right direction more often than not. When you start answering enough of those questions, everything that happened makes a lot more sense.

I think they're really good to be aware of, but think it's overreaching to advise "Use slots when defining a Python class."

I'm surprised there's no mention of exceptions. Constructing, throwing, catching, and discarding an exception can be relatively slow (especially in a tight loop). My usual advice is "exceptions should be the exceptional case."

In general, get familiar with inspection tools so your code is easy to measure so you can clean up hotspots. Trying to optimize code without inspecting it often makes code harder to read and may not address the slower-performing parts. Maybe everyone needs to spend hours trying to speed things up just to realize the slow parts were in a different part of the code and now it's harder for the next guy to reason what's going on.

My local train service runs two types of trains: double-decker (with 2/2 seats) and single-decker (with 3/2 seats). The single-level trains cannot comfortably hold three average-size adults, so they effectively have half the capacity.

I don't have 7 years of practice, but a few, and it is similar for me. It's not even close. For me that's absolute intuitive: Of course one types faster when having haptical feedback. Very intelligent auto-completion and typing by swipe gestures maybe could come close some day, but doing that blindly will take an enormous amount of practice time. I'm not even sure humans can learn that at all, despite what parent said.
Interesting, I recently saw a quote from a prison psychologist that suggested the root cause of most violence was shame.

I thought that was profound, but I struggle to fit overuse of the word Nazi online into the same framework, indeed I find it much easier to fit the kind of opinions and behavior that people might refer to as 'Nazi'-like into this framework:

https://lakesideconnect.com/anger-and-violence/the-link-betw...

"Gilligan notes literally dozens of synonyms for shame: feelings of being slighted, insulted, disrespected, dishonored, disgraced, disdained, slandered, treated with contempt, ridiculed, teased, taunted, mocked, rejected, defeated, subjected to indignity; or, experiencing feelings of being weak, ugly, inadequate, incompetent, a failure, losing face; and being treated as if one were insignificant or worthless.

Based on his research and other expert opinions, Gilligan concludes that “the most potent stimulus of aggression and violence, and the one that is most reliable in eliciting this response is not the frustration per se, but rather, insult and humiliation (page 32).” In other words, the most effective, and often the only way, to provoke someone to become violent is to insult them."

Wouldn't they just look at the nearest star first? On the scale of light years, it's so close to us it's extremely obvious where it came from, and will be for many thousands of years. Just backtracking it's course should be enough for a much longer time after that. Sure, millions of years from now it might be harder to figure out, but we'll be long gone by then. They can come bother our descendents, whatever form they might take. For the period of time our civilization is likely to survive if aliens stumble upon it, they will be able to find us rather quickly.
The exact same argument is used by republicans when they want to do away with capital gains tax xor corporate tax. Or one of income, property, and sales taxes.

The tax is gonna get collected, but whoever is the primary check writer can have market effects on the system. If Netflix had to write some of the check, we may see more investment in compression technologies and towards-the-edges network distribution.
In my admittedly anecdotal experience, e-bike riders tend to actually be as safe if not safer on trails and paths.

Plenty of traditional bikers are folks who are using bike shares and do things like not wear helmets, ignore road signs, ride two abreast, and swerve without warning. Also a problem are the "pro" bikers (you know, the ones on a racing bike, fully decked out in gear) that tend to ride ~10 mph faster than everyone else and pass aggressively.

E-bikers on the other hand, go in a straight line, usually single file, without swerving and seem to follow traffic signs because they have an easier time accelerating and decelerating.

Again, just my anecdotal experience -- I ride ~5 miles to/from work in New York.
If they can learn a technique on one problem and then use that technique on a completely different problem based on some observation, then sure. Why not?

Monkeys, crows, ravens, octopuses and other animals have been shown to be able to do stuff like this.

> but that is no reason to imply all animals can

I don't think anyone was making the claim that all animals can. (In case you're not a native english speaker, GP said "all sorts of animals", which means "many different kinds of animals" and not "all animals")

Same problem with scooters in cities where they cut the lane to go up to the traffic light and then they accelerate up to 30mph and the cars soon have to pass them.
Just for information, it's also possible to use NVIDIA GPUs inside Docker containers without using `nvidia-docker`:

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/25185405/using-gpu-from-...

In a nutshell, you can give the container access to the NVIDIA device file via the `--device` flag, so all you need is a container with the NVIDIA drivers. The added benefit of this is that you can use different versions of the drivers side-by-side (in my understanding).

I thought this might be relevant as some people might not want to use the `docker-nvidia` CLI to run containers (I'm not sure how you would use this via the Docker API for example).

>From the perspective of taxpayers, having nations compete for the lowest taxes and most friendly regulatory environment is beneficial.

If the gains in lower taxes are done by playing states off each other (see Google in Ireland) or the regulatory gains are done by allowing dirtier production of the same goods elsewhere (usual China vs the West discussion) then for the vast majority of tax payers it is a loss. The taxes and regulations that apply to them individually don't change while their states have less tax revenue to provide services and the environment they live in is worse off.

>If there were a global territorial monopoly on the production of security and rule of law, you would likely find yourself with a lower quality of life.

I'd bet the opposite would be true. All those lawyers and accountants that Google employs to shift their tax burden between countries could be reallocated to doing something productive. The pressure to lower taxes is already high enough within a single state that the loss in pressure from lack of competition between states would probably be irrelevant.
Investors into the fund are definitely benefiting from the US social structure and hence the fund is also benefiting.

Fine. When will you start paying taxes to Greece and Italy for essentially inventing the core civilizational structure the West is based on?
Afaik, improving parse time is the big goal here. Parsing is a significant stage of the compile pipeline, perf-wise. Some engines (Chakara at least), defer part of the parsing of the body of a function until the function itself is called, just to save precious milliseconds and not block the first render.
I have never used one-click but I have relatives that compusively purchase off Amazon with one-click all of the time. It is almost a drug to them because they click a button and then stuff shows up at their door. For some users, removing all barriers except for a click is sufficient to get them to buy.
I also find much of the article dense, but here's my attempt at a summary.

Logicians like the idea that words and phrases have "meanings" or "references."

Like, "my computer" should be interpreted, when I say it, as referencing a particular gadget that I own.

If you sit around and speculate about such references, you might wonder, for example, what the reference of "the unit sphere" is. Your Platonist friends will tell you that the reference is to an actually existing abstract object, or something like that.

The question of truth values seems to revolve around the question of the reference of a claim such as "Socrates is mortal." And the proposed answer is that this claim is a kind of name referring either to "the Truth" or "the False."

Note that this is how you tend to think of such claims when you work in predicate logic: the term Mortal(Socrates) is assumed to have the value True or False.

A quote cited by the article, by Jan Łukasiewicz (incidentally the inventor of "Polish notation"):

"All true propositions denote one and the same object, namely truth, and all false propositions denote one and the same object, namely falsehood. I consider truth and falsehood to be singular objects in the same sense as the number 2 or 4 is. … Ontologically, truth has its analogue in being, and falsehood, in non-being. The objects denoted by propositions are called logical values. Truth is the positive, and falsehood is the negative logical value. … Logic is the science of objects of a special kind, namely a science of logical values."

These thoughts about meaning were fundamental to the development of mathematical logic. Frege's notion of truth values was a prerequisite for his development of formal first-order logic and second-order logic, and algebraic logic in general (Boole's algebraic logic is an early version).
Patents are required to be both "novel" (no one has done it before) and "non-obvious" (a typical software engineer wouldn't have thought of it). These seem to cover it pretty well to me, except that novelty is trivial to find in the software world and the bar for obviousness seems to be completely ignored; I've never heard of a software patent so obvious it was rejected.
Now we're getting somewhere. Given that these factors are multiplied with automobiles, shouldn't all vehicle speeds be limited so? I am a firm believer that everything should be limited to 30km/h in urban and residential environments where pedestrian and vehicle traffic coexist.

To be mediately responsive you simply abandon the operation -- that is, stop waiting and ignore any result. No need to cancel anything.

In case you're talking about rolling back an operation (you probably weren't, but just in case), canceling doesn't help there either -- not generally -- since you don't know how far the operation got before canceling, how long the cancel will take to propagate (or if it can at all), etc.
Ask HN: Any resources for workplace politics and advancing your career?
I have 10+ years of software dev experience. I no longer feel motivated to even show up at the job. It's the money why I HAVE to go each day. I get paid 140k or so, but everyone here makes that much after college graduation within 2 yrs now-a-days.
I am working on hot technologies at the moment. I don't think learning new stuff such as stats, ML, AI is going to help my career again. It's the leadership roles that I am interested in.

I get a feeling that I am bad at workplace politics. I do all the work, come up with all bright ideas but someone else ends up taking credit. I am bad at influencing people. I feel like people hate my face for whatever reason. More often than not, I end up alone while everyone else ends up making friends or forming a group against me.

Any resources to learn about workplace politics? Any books, videos,papers and personal anecdotes?

Right, but that operator is implicitly casting the null object to a string type – it has to, in a strict sense... some other languages would raise an error (and many would do the same as Java).

Skin deep diversity is a little dangerous maybe if it's the only kind of diversity.
