I think it's a due to a combination of things. First MTBs went from flat bars to riser bars as front and then rear suspension appeared. Then the bars got wider.

I have memories of the bike magazines (Mountain Bike Action) declaring the bar end on a riser bar a style no-no. MTB takes style direction from motorcross and you don't see bar ends on motors.

I've hooked my new 760mm bars on far more trees than my old narrow ones. While the idea of catching a bar end sounds frightening, think about what would happen without a bar end: the same thing. You'd hit the bars or your knuckles and get the same result.

I do miss the extra hand position sometimes. I installed a pair of Togs (https://togs.com) to help with "thumbs resting over the bar".

I think this is the more interesting stuff. We know how the trajectory looks from the A-series chips that have rolled out over the last decade. What's currently a concern is if this sort of design can compete with Xeons or Threadrippers, or if it can power multiple displays or have a multitude of USB4 ports. The M1 is great but it's really only great for these entry level devices they've put them in so far.

Honestly, the Arc<Mutex<T>> approach is the right one here. We need to hand out shared references, and that’s what that is. Otherwise there’s a ton of bookkeeping, and throwing exceptions in code that could otherwise reasonably work.

This approach assumes of course that there are no reference cycles in the graph. If there are, you’ll need some way to clean them up if Weak isn’t sufficient.

Alternatively, is there a way to ask Python to allocate memory for you, which is then subject to Python’s GC? If so, you could make a smart pointer type for this and use that everywhere. Though you’ll still need to figure out how thread safety works. So this really would only be for handling reference cycles.
Do try to keep up.

their IDE is clunky and will be wiped out if a top of the range product, such as Jetbrains, adds support for R

I strongly disagree. I've used both and don't find RStudio clunky. And Jetbrains would need to do more than simply add support for another language to compete. RStudio is more than just and IDE. For one, there's Shiny, which makes it trivial to deploy slick web-based data products to end users. Then there's the fact that RStudio has multiple methods of compiling code and analysis into formal document formats suitable for publishing or presentation.

RStudio isn't just an IDE, it's an entire ecosystem for coding, analysis, app development, and publication. It's not like Jetbrains couldn't make something like that, but it would essentially be a completely different product, not just one more supported language.
If I understand correctly, they are referring to Windows Phone 7/8/10 which had a store and some apps, but things like Gmail and YouTube were actively blocked but Google to make life difficult for Microsoft and the consumers choosing Windows Phone. Simular things happened with Snapchat and Instagram. No first party support, and third party apps for blocked from their APIs.

Windows Mobile was kind of before the time of Google / Android apps. Neither WM or WP could run Win32 apps though, so ultimately the software ecosystem was very limited.
They had an entire chapter on general statistical knowledge! I wouldn't mind an abridged version that assumed all prerequisite general math knowledge and covered only the topic material.
We should be able to opt out of similar tracking with stock Apple apps if Apple is not disclosing they are tracking for advertising purposes that is a huge issue that needs to be exposed.

This is the most fantastic addition Ive seen to KDE in years!

Wow!

Is it a bit like AutoCAD?
It does, but at the same time as chainrings dropped from 3 to 2 to 1, the wheels grew from 26 to 27.5 to 29 inches (for the most sold bikes), so I imagine in the end perhaps the difference is not so big?
Someone coming from C also would certainly know about the difference between the stack and the heap too, so it's a little strange to me that GP called that out

“Social media platforms have morphed into the town square” - sounds like they want government-run social media instead of privately-operated social media.

Maybe Ron DeSantis should start his own social media platform instead of attempting to force private businesses to give up their freedoms.

Disclaimer Edit: I’m not a lawyer, Supreme Court predictions and cases are just a hobby of mine.

Well, there’s a lot of interesting things to unpack here. First amendment questions, the Commerce Clause, and the 10th amendment all come to mind. Sec. 230 is being directly challenged, but I don’t think this was the way to do it. This will probably fail in circuit court, be denied an appeal, and fail to be granted certiorari. I can see Thomas, Alito, and Kavanaugh voting to hear it, but nobody else. But ultimately this is going to waste a lot of the Florida AG’s time on a very lengthy legal procedure.
It is unfortunately the case that when a bicyclist gets killed by a car, the driver does not suffer the same consequences as if the driver shot, poisoned, or bludgeoned the bicyclist.

Bicyclists can and do behave more unsafely, can and do break traffic laws. When I bike, if I’m doing something not in full compliance with the laws, I do not expect the full sympathy of the legal system. I don’t roll a stop sign if there are cars at it, because I don’t want to get hit. Bicyclists acting like dicks or acting unsafely, may have themselves to blame. That’s not what this article is about, though.

You could "just" crop by subtracting shapes manually every time, too. Rectangle crops are extremely common so it makes sense to have a tool for that even if it just generates the underlying concept(as with shape-to-path).

If I were approaching the problem fresh, though, I would look into the presentation of the modal functions as the root of the issue. The source of a lot of complexity in image editing software is confusion over layers, masks, groups, and selections - they have some conceptual overlap and can be applied modally(e.g. shape as rendering element OR mask OR selection). If the UI buries the difference it just adds to the confusion.
It didn't actually sound so bad until this part:

> Big Tech is prohibited from de-platforming Floridian political candidates.

What nonsense. Why are politicians some special class of people?
> I doubt it performs better than a multi-column index

Is that true? I am curious because in general there are specific algorithms and data structures used for range ops so it is odd if postgresql would not use them and fall back to equivalent of a multicolumn index.
I still haven't found a better way than sending yourself a message. It can be email or it can be IM; all platforms have working email/XMPP/Matrix clients where this can work. Email is probably a bit harder to self-host but still doable; the other two are easy in comparison. For Matrix the standard client is Element, for XMPP that would probably be Conversations. For emails I highly recommend using deltachat (https://delta.chat/en/), which gives a more IM-like interface along with automagic e2e encryption. All of those are applications, so they have the share modal.

Well that's a most uncharitable characterisation of Ryanair. They are indeed profit-driven but they are unashamedly upfront and, frankly, honest about this. Their ruthless efficiency enables cheap flights across Europe, which was largely out of reach to previous generations. I'm not sure how they really differ from other successful profit-driven businesses, other than perhaps their marketing approach. You can choose not to fly with them of course, but many do, and wouldn't consider themselves immoral for doing so.
> That may be the case in road bikes, but mountain bikes have gone through a huge transformation in the past decade. The new mountain bikes are night and day different than mountain bikes from a decade ago.

You can still ride track on an old mountain bike. The specific technologies listed have all been part of the changes for road bikes as well (disc brakes, better derailleurs, tubeless tires, suspension (mountain) and frame materials (carbon for road bikes)). And in both cases the outcome is the same - better performance at the cost of more expensive purchase and maintenance.

And the snobbery from "elites" who think they own the road or trail are damn similar, and the same across other sports I've done (skiing, snowboarding, surfing, sailing...) too. All I'm saying is that the peak performance isn't really relevant to having a good time, and other considerations may be different for different users.

Edit: in good faith I'd guess your argument may come more from a competitive view of mountain biking? Even if competing with friends via strava segments etc?

But how would you handle hash collisions if the value is just a Weak<String> rather than some kind of nested container type?

I started thinking along the lines of an arena allocator, that would allow a shorter lifetime than static so you could remove unused references by dropping the arena and moving over still live references to a new arena. I guess arenas the wrong term with that behaviour, maybe generational mark and sweep garbage collector is closer to describing this approach.

It a avoids the double reference though of the Rc<> model.
It doesn’t really matter though since whatever is useful will be co-opted and used by the technocratic and atomizing system we live amongst.

For example the creators of the first rockets wanted to go to the moon, that was their goal - which eventually happened. But not until well after it was co-opted to create ICBM’s.

Right? If someone runs for some local position with no requirements to get on the ballot, can they start posting incitements to violence against DeSantis or whoever? Writing "go shoot this guy" might run afoul of other laws, but if you just post about how a lot of people are saying so-and-so has a child sex dungeon and somebody ought to do something about it, that's still free speech right? Or can you still get kicked off for, say, posting objectively false information or roundabout encouragements of violence? That was basically where the "deplatforming" controversy started in the first place.
I did a ton of mountain biking in the late 90s and early 2000s, after years of BMX racing, and one reason myself (and at least a few friends) stopped using bar-ends is because we kept injuring ourselves on them - they had to be constantly tightened or they would come loose while climbing or going downhill. I know more than one person that wrecked a wrist after a bar-end popped off and exposed the sharp metal edge of a handlebar.

I also biked with crazy people, so that was probably issue #1.
One is reminded of javascript and jquery, a few years back.
> Yes. That. Exactly that.

When I said implementation-defined, I meant implementation-defined. This is because the applicability of UB-based optimization to implementation-defined behavior - namely, the lack thereof - is wholly uncontroversial. Thus, the diversion into the quality of documentation-defined behavior is not directly relevant here; the mere act of changing something from undefined behavior to implementation-defined behavior neatly renders irrelevant any argument about whether any particular UB-based optimization is valid.

> Compilers cannot assume that, because (in the general case) it is not true.

This is not necessarily true. For example, consider the semantics of the restrict keyword. The guarantees promised by a restrict-qualified pointer aren't true in the general case, but preventing optimizations because of that rather defeats the entire purpose of restricting a pointer in the first place.

More generally, the entire discussion about UB-based optimizations exists precisely because the Standard permits a reading such that compilers can make optimizations that don't hold true in the general case, precisely because the Standard imposes no requirements on programs that violate those assumptions.
>If two people make the same amount of money selling vacuum cleaners, but one kicks an orphan every time they make a sale, I don't think many would say they're equally virtuous.

You can judge each action a person takes, and the intent behind it (I do think intent matters) and and apply the virtuous label to those on a case by case basis. If you do that, it may well be that in aggregate one person could be more virtuous than the other - but in either case there could be some mistakes that a person makes. I think black-and-whiting the issue makes it needlessly polarized.

So that being said, 'contributing to society' is a very complicated topic. Everything is so inter-linked that you can make anything look good/bad depending on the framing.

I don't necessarily agree that by simply accepting a job as a nurse you are contributing more than a millionaire trading crypto. After all most people have their 401k invested in stocks and such. So it may very well be that someone who is day-trading may be growing the nurses 401k - (for example). Again, its just a thought - and like I said the framing can make anyone look good/bad. Wouldn't you agree?

I totally agree - we use our ipad as the entertainment device. I do not sync email on it.

That said, my parents use the ipad for email and don't care about it being shared - they keep it on kitchen counter. My friends parents use one as well in that way and actually use a shared email address as well for all their email. Different generations.

I do think multi-profile should show up eventually. But apple has optimized for other things first (a very personal device).

The private business are using public right-of-ways and spectrum to carry their data, so they ought to be held to the same standard that makes cable television provide public access channels.

Maybe it's not the person per se, more like the position/institution.
croc maintainer here: like mentioned from the throwaway account above - yes, this is true that there was a recent major vulnerability. [1] It was fixed within a week [2], so I guess it is also true that croc has a history of fixing vulnerabilities, rather quickly. I should hope this means that security is taken seriously.

Anyways, croc is pretty similar to wormhole except that it allows resuming files (which wormhole does not yet [3]) and has some peer discovery for local network transfers. I've been using croc everyday for over three years and I'm still very happy with it. But, you should totally use magic-wormhole if that floats your boat - its a great tool, along with psanford's Go version. That may help me actually as I think croc has too many users on the public relay and the cost of bandwidth is becoming too high to keep the public relay available after this year.

Because everyone is special and deserves their own special protections above the general population.

Sadly this is a huge trend to score political points right now. For example, I think there was a bill providing extra protections to Asian Americans, and a referendum in PA to add race based protection to the state constitution. The protections already exist, so it's just political theater.

A public option for social media is exactly what I want. Townsquare.us, run by the government, where all speech except that which is literally illegal is allowed. Supreme Court for challenges. No ads or tracking allowed. Post illegal content? Feds come knocking.

I meant to point out that apple's vision of a very personal device to most people (locked down, photos, music etc etc) was different than the blackberry / utility model from before.

This isn't poor vision, it's a different vision, and has made them a lot of money.
