> You were ten minutes late this morning. I was annoyed at having to wait for you and lose productivity. Could you explain why you were late?

Honestly, this sounds even worse to me than just the observation. IMO a good test is "Would I say this to my boss? If not, then probably I shouldn't say it at all.". I would not say this to my boss. Not even close.

How about instead:

"Hey, I noticed you were a little bit late, which is unusual for you. Is everything OK?"

And if the pattern continues:

"Hey, I noticed you were a bit late in the last couple of meetings. I think it is somewhat important to be on time. Is there anything I can do to help you avoid being late next time?"
It's not -NaN vs NaN. There are a bunch of NaN types, which are not related like that. It could (according to the spec) change "NaN: Attempt to arcsin value greater than 1" to "NaN: Zero divided by Zero operation"
PowerShell is just so much nicer to use than anything where text munging is the only way to do things, and it’s just as “pluggable” as Unix shell commands. And it can output text (or JSON or XML or YAML) or whatever you want easily by piping into relevant commands (or just not piping anywhere if you wanted text). I don’t imagine those are going anywhere anytime soon but I think it is wrong to say the system cannot be improved upon.
EPAC or Pedelec is a term used for bikes that meet the EU regulations, assist should cut off beyond 25kph (15.5mph) and you only get power when you cycle. I think there's a motor wattage maximum too so that might help your search.

Really? It was one of the first things I learned as I was studying towards the PPL (I haven't finished it yet because flying is expensive :-( but I'm done studying the theory).

I'm in Australia BTW, not in USA - maybe things are different
Billions would need to be invested to replace and expand fossil fuel infrastructure too. More billions would be needed for hydrogen.

It's just a matter of who gets the government subsidies/favorable tax treatment, cynically.

When batteries get cheap enough and PV arrays have been sufficiently tropicalized, there will be some switching in the rest of the world. It'd happen faster without fossil fuel interests being able to get the subsidies, though.
While I initially would prefer the idea of more street trees the nagging voice in the back of my head continues to worry about unintended consequences.

A big one regarding more trees is more maintenance, you've already pointed out how terrible maintenance can be, and lawns alone are an incredible example of just how inefficient we handle plants in the name of some arbitrary aesthetic, tons of water wasted, many hours spent trimming things to some ideal size that turns out to be terrible for the plant itself, etc.

Of course my paranoia doesn't ignore cool pavements either; the reflectivity does bring some mild worries: some skyscrapers are known to cause large amounts of concentrated reflective heat, but those are due to the more mirror-like reflective properties of glass rather than the diffusive matte grey/whites of these pavements. I also worry about visibility, could we end up having a "snow blindness" effect? Would driving be affected as the harsh unnatural dark contrast of a typical road is very easy to spot compared to...everything else. I'm ofcourse aware not all roads are this black but you can't deny bright yellows and whites of road markers on a deep black road would be easier to pick up on than on a greyish road.
A few highlights from a conversation with a friend who works for Zeiss and regularly deals with ASML (take this with a grain of salt, I may have misunderstood some of it and he also may not be an expert in all of these areas):

- The lenses (actually mirrors for EUV) only demagnify by a factor of 4. So your wafer template is already extremely small and costs millions to produce.

- 13.5nm is pretty much the smallest wavelength you can reasonably handle. If you want to go smaller, you have to build a particle accelerator. (He heard that from a colleague, wasn't sure how much of that was actually true.)

- The prices in this Twitter thread are pretty spot on. The EU wants to invest into chip making to become more independent in this area. But the sums they're talking about wouldn't even pay for one such machine. Politicians don't seem to be aware of the dimensions we're talking about here.

- Also in the thread, ASML has a monopoly on this tech. Others have not invested into EUV and by now, it's pretty much impossible for anybody to catch up.

- Everyone's hiring like crazy atm. He started home office during Covid and now Zeiss says he can't even go back to the office because they don't have enough office space anymore. He doesn't mind. Everyone's distributed all over the place anyway so whether he does conference calls at the office or at home makes no difference.

- He said they're not very affected by the chip shortage.
I think it’s also just an activity that preoccupies a portion of your consciousness so that the subconscious can chime in. I get the same effect from mowing grass.
You're getting downvoted but that's a valid point. If you spend any time around older vehicles you notice how "chunky" modern cars are, how little passenger volume they have compared to their outer dimensions. I'm not saying those measures aren't worth it, but they are making cars bigger.

Now that I think about it, I believe I also had this effect that when I disconnect after a longer work period, I'll have a sort of re-processing flashback when I finally have time to relax.

Also, it's quite visible with my son. At the end of the day, before going to sleep, he will usually recount his most interesting experience again. Yesterday it was "cows are loud".

I can imagine that it'll help the learning, just like how replaying history with updated state scoring is such an important part of AI reinforcement learning. So maybe the body is post-processing work stress akin to "we successfully escaped from the hungry lion, now let's review how to avoid that in the future".
Little known, the airbags already have the last 15s of driving before accidents. They act as a recording box. This was setup pretendedly because NGOs were worried about airbags triggering at the wrong time, so they have to save the last 15s of the CAN bus (brakes, speed, radio usage, wheel position, turn indicators, faults…).
Sweden not only had many more Covid-19 deaths than other Scandinavian countries they also have considerably higher unemployment:

So they traded more deaths for a WORSE economy (though, as far as I know, the part about self reported mental health is true).

Then what? That isn't hard to figure out.

If China invades Taiwan before enough TSMC plants are built in America to meet American, and by extension - Western - demand for electronics, then it's war. Period, end of story.

There is no fucking way in any timeline in any alternate universe that Western electronics companies can allow China to put their businesses on hold, because it isn't just a bunch of AMD and Qualcomm CPUs... it's every automotive company in the Western world. It's every appliance manufacturer in the Western world PLUS South Korea.

China will go right back to 1820. Damn near dead fucking last on the world stage.

The Communist party leadership would probably kill Xi Jinping before allowing him to make such a monumental mistake. And nuclear war isn't an option either, because all of China will end up completely uninhabitable if even a single major American city gets targeted.

And it won't just be "America vs. China" either, it'll be "Every Western nation vs. China". And China will lose. Badly.
Context. The faint wear marks that tires make on the road over years, the seam between lanes, the car in front of them, the distance away from the guardrail or ditch, or there are no marked lanes at all and you just have to share the road with oncoming traffic. Furthermore, it's not uncommon for three lane roads to turn into two lanes during heavy snow, and in those case, the lanes are wherever everyone decided they were, collectively.
Unrelated to this thread, but I always found 'optiver' such a weird name for a Dutch company. Sounds to me like "optiefer". "Optiefen" is a Dutch way of saying "fuck off".
I'm claiming we don't know what would have happened under different policies (lockdown vs no lockdown) - and those who pretend otherwise don't have scientific evidence to back up their claims. Regardless, I'm claiming they've done quite well under all possible objective metrics compared to other European countries.

It's amazing that someone could write an essay titled "The Peril of Politicizing Science" and not once mention the actual civilizational peril we are in due to the political polarization over climate change and the coronavirus.
Misdemeanors can keep people from getting a job. There can be pretrial restrictions, including custody. They also tend to be the ones having preliminary hearings and can issue warrants, even for felonies.

These are not just traffic violations and minor issues. And even if they were, that doesn't mean that people's rights stop mattering, nor is that a valid excuse for gross incompetence.
Non-native is not necessarily invasive. The latter is a subset of the former. The ivy is invasive, the ducks are just non-native.

Bit twiddling integers doesn't require unsafe type punning like this. It's also largely safe to assume a nominal two's complement machine is all your code will ever run on. If not, you'll know to be careful. You can't make such blanket assumptions with floating point representations.

The key part being "under the presidents account." The president using twitter does not change twitter. The president is held to standards of the government, which is not allowed to block people. But the rules that affect the government don't affect twitter, they only apply to government officials using twitter.

Twitter is still allowed to block people who reply to the president, or, as they did, ban the president.
Github’s dev assistant thing tries to fill in the code based on what you’ve written, by regurgitating prior knowledge almost blindly — but as a human I can process that regurgitation, and maybe extract a relevant subset of it for my actual use.

I’ve recently realized I do the exact same thing with speech — I’ll talk without thinking, forming sentences out of heuristic systems, and process them after the fact. Then tune the sentence slightly, and continue.

In this fashion, I produce sentences without really knowing what I’ve said, until I think about it later. In much the same way that I drive long distances on auto-pilot, and can’t even remember anything of the route by the end of it.

And those sentences often have ideas that I’ve never actually put together intentionally, but I completely agree with, and upon review, are correct to the best of my knowledge.

I don’t know what speech is, but it’s definitely more than vocalization of my thoughts.

Unless you're claim here is that Psaki is threatening Facebook, there's nothing remotely illegal happening here. Facebook is like "hey, tell us about misinformation" and the government is like "hey we think this is misinformation". And then Facebook reviews the posts they flagged and removes some of them.

The argument you're making is akin to "Its illegal for Psaki or a white house staffer to ask for airtime on CNN, because that violates CNN's first amendment rights" (or perhaps more subtly "because then CNN is acting as an arm of the government", but that's still wrong).
Your perception of a country doesn't make a scientific evidence on why Norway of Finland could be taken as reference point to assess Sweden strategy regarding Covid.
I kind of think that the difference between electric bike and motorcycle is that electric bike ideally should be used on bike lanes within speed limit. So if the intention behind making an e-bike is to use it like a motorcycle then yes, motorcycle will be safer. But if the intention is to use it as a bicycle, using bicycle infrastructure (which arguably is very limited in America unlike how things are in Europe) at bicycle speeds but just without coming to your job covered with sweat then bicycles are safe.

FreeBSD has jails, which are equivalent to containers. Using docker in a vm isn't the best solution due to performance of things like file system access.
The logical conclusion of this train of thought is ... not to make policy based on science. Just make the science available, and let people do what they like.

If the plan is to create policies based on "the science", then people will lie about what the science is in order to get their policies into play.

It is hard to convince people with that opener, but the evidence is that it works quite well. One of the interesting tricks about Western democracies is that it channels the fleeting madness of crowds in the most productive direction without trying too hard to suppress it.

> many teslas are on their third drive unit now

Define "many" and give a citation.

Tesla warranty for the drive unit is 8 years/120,000 miles. I doubt they'd set it that high if the expectation was that these drive units are going to fail all over the place.

Compare that to both ford and toyota which have a 5 years/60,000 miles powertrain warranty

> And batteries do also fail

They can due to manufacturing faults. However, both batteries and engines follow more of a washtub curve.

> Not sure why you would say otherwise.

You are overstating the failures of both.

Boomerang is colocated with the target. Multipath is less likely to be an issue because there is likely to be line of sight to the source. Selecting the right impulses is easier because the spacing of the microphones provides some tight timing constraints. You’re not likely to see inconsistencies in timing the impulses lead to location error because any effects of the environment are likely to be consistent across the pulses. Finally, the location accuracy requirements are far different. ShotSpotter needs to put a dot on a map accurate enough to find shell casings or a victim in a wide geographic area. Boomerang just needs to give a good bearing from the receivers to return fire. The range doesn’t have to be all that precise, and the mathematics suggests it isn’t.

These are two very different approaches to solve different problems.
It continues to astonish me how far the telegraph (and conservatism generally) has left people like Oborne behind. Really quite something to behold, and pretty deeply alarming.
The 1450 per million figure the article cites as the cost of covid to Sweden actually makes them look worse than your own data.

It's not an article about the cost of covid though, its about the benefits of not fighting it as hard as other countries. It's very light on that, not much of an attempt to quantify and compare to the cost, but still props to it for even acknowledging that those benefits exist and count for something.

The best write up I've seen so far on the topic is this [0] which concludes:

> So every 52 months of stricter lockdown in counterfactual Sweden would have saved one month of healthy life. You will have to decide whether you think this is worth it, but it seems pretty harsh to me.

> Might this be because these numbers are off, and the lockdown would have saved more lives than the model allows? I don’t think that could change things very much. Remember, our confidence interval included the scenario where strict lockdown has 100% efficacy and prevents every single COVID case. Even if this is true, that just means it’s 21 months of stricter lockdown to save one month of healthy life. Again, seems pretty harsh.

I think you might find an answer for that question in the GCC 4.7 step. They target that version because all GCC versions afterwards include a C++ compiler in addition to the C one. Each successive step is a greater level of complexity. By starting small in the beginning, they have a codebase that is easier to audit than a full blown "modern" GCC or LLVM. That's the idea, at least.
"rigged with explosives" is likely a bit of an exaggeration.

It would not be difficult to conduct a campus-wide evacuation then have the Taiwanese Air Force destroy the facility with targeted weapons. It might also be the case that the facility's precise coordinates are well-known to Taiwanese military's artillery units and the entire place could be reduced to rubble in minutes.
Might as well just go full on psychopath and make homelessness a crime, already number one in prisoners per capita, with the highest prison population in the world, what's a few more hundred thousand people behind bars.

My point wasn't that no hardcore gamers own a Switch. It's that hardcore gamers isn't the Switch's target demographic nor it's biggest audience. But you're looking at things too black and white in thinking that logically means I'm saying it's not something anything hardcore gamers would like; which isn't the case.

Like with any product that sells millions, there will be people that fall outside of the target demographic. That doesn't mean there isn't a target demographic or that the company are targeting the wrong group. It just means that either the person is an edge case or the product is versatile enough to be enjoyed by more than just the target audience. In the Switch's case, it's the latter.

In fact that's the point I've been making all along about the genius of the device. Nintendo have not only built a console that captures the imagination of a largely forgotten market, but they've done so in a way that has appeal beyond that market too.

But to be clear, this wasn't an accident on Nintendo's part. They've always marketed their machines as family systems (ie accessible gaming to be shared). That's why their 3rd generation console was called the Famicom in Japan (short for Family Computer). It's why the NES was styled the way it was (a grey box like a VCR so it looked at home in the families TV cabinet rather than looking like a kids toy). It's why the N64 was the first console to have 4 ports built in (ie without needing additional hardware). Why the Wii went down the gimmicky route when everyone else was making consoles for older kids and adults. And why Nintendo's IP is almost always cute and cartoony.
Here's a great explanation using a model:

The amazing thing about them is that they have no parts that need friction to work like belts, CVT axles or even the clutch. Nor do they have any moving parts like a regular transmission which shift into place.

It's 2 electric motors connected via a planetary gearset to the ICE. Nothing can get out of alignment or get loose.
I don't think that's responsive. Regulations are forcing up the size of the smallest vehicles. The median vehicle in the US is a SUV with almost twice the curb weight of those "larger" compacts.

The change in median vehicle weight is absolutely not being caused by safety regulations.
RetroArch 1.9.8 Released
Tree limbs die all the time. Normally when disease or damage kill a tree branch, it isn't a big deal because the tree is in a forest and probably won't fall on anybody or damage any property under it. In a city, you can't ignore a widowmaker. The risk of it damaging property or flat out killing somebody is too high, you have to pay to get it safely removed. Often this becomes "end-of-life removal" because it's deemed safer or cheaper in the long run to remove the tree entirely. So now you have a green mostly alive tree being chopped down because one of the limbs died, and everybody in the neighborhood thinks you're a tree butcher but nobody else wants to chip in to have it maintained.
