I already purchase my hives as pieces of wood that I have to assemble, glue/nail together, paint, etc and I know that the measurements for things like the bee space are correct so the bees won't gum it up. Always neat to see these DIY projects, but I feel like pre-cut is about as much as I trust my ability to measure and construct precisely.
I think the general thinking is that in the c/c++ world dependency management is the role of the build tool

This is currently really easy to do cleanly though CMake by using Hunter and toolchain files (don't use submodules or addexternalproject)

External tools like Conan are also unnecessary bc they introduce redundancy and extra maintenance

There was no bitcoin bubble. Bitcoin is currently 50% down from the high mark. That is not a bubble. After actual bubbles, the low mark is may be 90% or more below peak.
You have to watch out for first and last one in JavaScript but not on TypeScript as it isn't possible to make that mistake because you have to type it as a promise or in the last one as void.

You can even avoid the problem in the second one by using NonNullable TypeScript types, but I admit that's not common so its still likely to arise.

What I remember seeing at the time is that it was programed specifically to ignore them since it is unable to detect if an object on the side of the road is just a stationary postbox or a person about to jump out.

To be able to safely handle pedestrians the self driving car would have to limit itself to much slower speeds or place fences around every road. I guess we will find out in a few years which option was preferable.
The problems with diagnostics are not Xcode’s fault but rather limitations of the Swift compiler diagnostics engine. The original design dating back to Swift 1.0 has the constraint solver basically produce a success or failure result; in the failure case the type checker would then go and re-type check different subexpressions and try to piece together the types to figure out what went wrong.

This was complex and somewhat tricky to get right, which is why sometimes you see errors that seemingly have nothing to do with the original problem. Closures and generics were especially problematic for the old design to deal with.

Since Swift 4.2 there has been an ongoing effort to rewrite diagnostics so that the solver keeps enough breadcrumbs from failed constraints to piece together an accurate error message. On the master branch the type checker’s test suite has lots of examples where diagnostics have improved significantly.

That's a of an odd reading of an article that is going out of it's way to point out that the "marketplace of ideas" idea was (1) not the justification for the 1st Amendment and (2) that Ben doesn't view it as the justification for Facebook's move either.

> In fact, I would go further: Facebook’s stance is an essential expression of what makes American tech unique. Don Valentine, the legendary founder of Sequoia Capital who passed away last week, once said:

>> The world of technology thrives best when individuals are left alone to be different, creative, and disobedient.

> This is not a statement about participating in the marketplace of ideas, winning others over by the power of your argument. It is, rather, an affirmation of the absence of tyranny. Only when individuals are able to think for themselves can something truly new to the world be created, and the proof will be the success in the market for tech products and services.

Not guilt - but the presumption is that drivers should be able to stop, rather than that the person should not be trying to cross the road. People can cross roads wherever they please in the UK, except motorways. They should ensure it is safe, but they can cross.

The car is the guest in the pedestrian’s space.
> Could I use Rottweiler as a trademarked brand?

You can’t have exclusive use of the name
Rottweiler for selling Rottweilers. However, you could register Rottweiler as a trademark for other goods or services. Where the mark isn’t the generic name for the goods, it’s usually an arbitrary or suggestive mark. Or if it’s a made-up word, it’s called fanciful. Your example DogHead would be a fanciful mark.

In short, the mark is always considered in connection with the goods and services with which it is used.

No. The key point is that Uber engineers under the orders of management disengaged automatic breaking systems to make the car provide a smoother ride. If these had remained on then the pedestrian would be alive whether the driver was distracted or not.

My observation about cigarettes is exactly a counterexample showing that, despite the criminal operation expenses, in practice the black market is able to undercut a heavily taxed legal market - not for everyone, probably not even for the majority of the market, but for a substantially large portion of population to have a meaningful consequences in corruption and organized crime.

It's getting better now, but mostly because cigarettes as such are being undercut by vaping that's cheaper.

SwiftUI relies on implicit return statements, property wrappers, keypath member lookup and function builders. All but the last have gone through the evolution process and are implemented completely in Swift 5.1. The function builders feature has been pitched and is going through the process; the current implementation uses an underscored attribute. The implementation might change but it will not affect client code, only the declarations of the relevant types in SwiftUI. This means you can’t define your own function builders today without a future compiler possibly breaking source compatibility with your implementation — but other than that there’s no magic in the SwiftUI API beyond the language itself.

It's pre-printed with a hexagonal pattern to try to control the size of the cells the bees will make. Basically, the bee will grow to roughly the size of the cell it's grown in, and the size of the cell also controls if the queen lays a worker or a drone.

Pre-printed wax cells tend to be larger than those that bees would make on their own, on the theory that larger bees can collect more honey. They are also printed small enough that the queen will lay workers instead of drones in those cells, increasing the worker population, and reducing the drone population.

Both of those practices have been called into question recently, as it appears that the larger cells provide more room for varoa mites, and that allowing your bees to regress to their natural size may increase mite resistance. Note: small cell beekeeping does not replace monitoring your mite levels and treating for mites!

Similarly, it's starting to appear that drones have a more complex role in the hive than previously thought, and that artificially reducing their population might not by ideal.

Is it? The driver was the one who decided to make the situation dangerous. A walker on their own would find it impossible to harm someone by walking. If you are driving in a place where people are walking (Anywhere not a highway) you must be driving at a speed where you could stop very quickly (30-40km/h).

If you were driving at 30km/h it would be almost impossible to seriously hurt someone even if they stepped out in front of you.
Personally I just don’t block the result of my hot dev server on the type checking.

Your second sentence goes right along the lines of the above post; outsourcing, globalism, corporate farms, the recession -- all caused job losses in America, and for the most part (at least up to 2016) the new service, sales, and technology jobs moved to more urban locations.

Fun Fact; post 2008 recession was the first time since the depression that many food banks saw more need in suburban and rural areas than inner city.

This is negligent homicide. Same as would be charged to a person who kills someone while under the influence of drugs or alcohol. In this case, Uber is under the influence of greed.

They should at minimum lose their license to drive as would a human being who committed the same crime. They should also be "imprisoned" by way of losing their right to exist in society for a period of 3-15 years like a human being.

This is what happens when we let criminally minded sociopathic corporations flaunt the law. They flaunt more and more laws until someone dies.

It's wrong and I am not shocked in the least that Uber would let something like this happen.

This should be an existential crime. How many laws must they break until we stop them?

The system should have detected and braked and if was incapable of this it shouldn't be on public roads. This is a very simple case of the car failing to detect an object in the road and should be the most basic functionality of a driverless vehicle. I have sympathy for the driver who Uber's PR team has thrown under the bus (excuse the turn of phrase) when it was obviously was a basic engineering and management failure.
That’s how I feel about nil messaging, autorelease pools and proxy objects :-)
Nice write up, truly after my own heart! Part of my research had to do with using Lagrange's method of multipliers to design B-spline geometry via solution of constrained nonlinear optimization problems, where we had these bending energy measures included to smooth the resulting curves and surfaces. I realized in the course of things that the functional I was minimizing had this parallel with Physics. The answer to so much is at the minimum! Nice to see somebody with the same train of thought put it to print!

Annd... From the perspective a freshly minted PhD, who was always in a terrible fright before giving a talk, I look at the critiques in the following way: It's hard to put yourself out there about such a topic, knowing at the same time such awe at the beautiful, towering edifice of mathematical theory, experiment, and geometry that makes up physics. But the critiques help refine one's thinking, and are always to be welcomed. Good on them for pointing out the places where things need to be sharpened a bit. At the same time, I love the big picture. That's what keeps me coming back.
That's the viewpoint where there are such similar structures and relationships between the way we solve problems in far flung fields. One can leverage what one has learned in one field to get a head start, (or at least a toe-hold!) learning another. Cheers.
Given the questionable behavior of Uber on the ground, I would definitely not want an Uber taxi flying anywhere near my house.

> They also have kinda crappy, dirty stores many times, but again, look at their clientele.

The shopping experience at Walmart is really only unpleasant in areas where the "Walmart is gross" meme has pervaded the local psyche enough to make it a self-fulfilling prophecy. It probably doesn't help that local governments in such areas do everything they can to deny Walmart's permits and keep them relegated to "not in my backyard".

In most places, Walmart isn't any worse than any other major department store, and shopping there is near-universal. You're more likely to have an incident with another shopper at a place like Target simply because the shopper base that actively selects against Walmart in non-Walmart-hostile areas is much snootier.
What’s crazy, is that I would have no problem subsidizing rural America by providing access to transportation, broadband, healthy food options, etc and even farm subsidies for small farms.

Thanks for your comment. I didn't know that jaywalking doesn't exist as an offense in the UK. Goes to show how commercial interests can get something ingrained in society to the point where you actually think of it as "the natural state of being". Apparently jaywalking as a negative term was promoted by auto interests in the US in the early 20th century, according to Wikipedia.
That doesn't stop the fact that you first have to identify that the car will not make an action automatically and by that time it is too late for a human to take manual controls back. That also doesn't stop people who are looking out the window but not really focused on what is going on since they likely spend hundreds of hours looking and nothing ever happens.

Human brains were not designed for this kind of task. Everything about the task prompts a resting mindset but the task requires 100% full concentration for hours.

Is there any reason for it to go down because of the block halving? I've heard it might be already priced in, so would the lack of a pump be enough to cause a massive drop? Looking at the performance this year, I haven't seen any real patterns, except maybe the time Tether started printing again.
Agreed. During the 2017 run up, I had tons of non-technical folks asking me to buy Bitcoin for them. A doctor from Europe was ready to spend $100k, which is what he's making per year. A healthcare specialist from New York, with an annual salary about $40k, was ready to spend $10k. An athlete from Brazil was begging to spend his $300k on altcoins. Many people do not realize how strong FOMO can be.
I may have heard of such a thing happening at another company. Certain personalities just can't seem to help themselves.
Like most accidents, there were multiple factors:

1. Uber tests immature self-driving software on public roads.
2. Uber reduced number of safety drivers from 2 to 1.
3. Uber hired a convicted felon (attempted armed robbery) to do this job.
4. Single, convicted felon safety driver is watching Hulu instead of looking out the window.

Sure, being a safety driver is a boring job, but there are lots of boring jobs that require careful attention, and people manage to do them.

It's not reasonable to expect the general public to reliably monitor their self driving car, but it is very reasonable to expect a professional safety driver in a prototype car to not watch Hulu.
Well, our differences in value judgements and expectations of likely outcomes seem so different that it's probably not productive to debate, so I'll just note that I disagree with almost every assertion and assumption made in this comment.

> Most trafficking is not forced or exploitive. It's some poor person seeing a quick payday and going for it.

I'unno - after watching TV shows like _UK Border Force_ (which won't be unbiased, and undoubtably uses contrived selective editing to trigger some strong emotion from the viewer - either sympathy for people in crappy situations and the human-interest sob-stories, to reinforce xenophobic and anti-immigrant views about foreigners by focusing on the people the border officers refuse entry, and so on) but there's seemingly a lot of people shown who clearly were in very, very shitty situations where being a drug-mule was the least-worst option - like needing to find $20,000 quickly to pay for medical care of a loved one in a country without universal healthcare (INB4 jokes about the US).

In any event, ideally no-one should be in a position where they need to compromise their criminal record - or moral principles - to achieve at least a minimally comfortable standard of living.
Yes, it is possible. If you get an explosion, many fragments will be in an elliptical orbit where they can stay longer than on LEO. But there is a trade-off here, the time during what a fragment is dangerous is exactly the same time it is in a high drag region, so if it's not feasible to wait for it to fall down, it is also not really dangerous either.

Those things aren't necessarily mutually exclusive. Yes in the US you can be ticketed for jaywalking, but at least in my experience it's more used on busy highways, where you are also endangering drivers who may have to swerve to avoid you. At least within cities I haven't seen it used when crossing a small street when no cars are coming, but it may be different in different places.

Not sure about drivers being at fault, but fault in an accident is a weird concept anyway. For the most part, if you get hit by a car the driver isn't going to suffer serious consequences (they probably won't be convicted of manslaughter, for instance).

But, this whole car centered system we have is pretty screwed up there's no denying that. Something like 50,000 people die in car accidents every year in the US and it's just business as usual.
