If only. Boundary locations are dependent on unicode version. If your terminal uses one and your compiler another—boom.

* * *

In my c compiler I distinguish 'acol' and 'vcol'. The former stands for 'actual column', and the latter for 'visual column'. The actual column is a byte offset, which can be used to identify the offending location in source, while the visual column represents a physical offset in glyph-widths.

The issue given in TLA of tab widths being different can be resolved by making the compiler expand the tabs itself. This does nothing for e.g. emoji, if there is disagreement about the version of unicode in use.

Vim seems to do something similar. Given 'set ruler', if I type a tab followed by an em dash, I am told that I am in column '5-10'. 5 is 3 bytes from the em dash (in utf8) and 1 byte from the tab, plus 1. 10 is 8 glyph-widths from the tab and 1 glyph-width from the em dash, plus 1.

* * *

However, my approach to error-handling should perhaps not be taken as representative. E.G.

> But nobody looks at an error message and manually navigates to the location using the column information!

I do. And I also dislike rustc's error messages, which apparently receive universal acclaim.
This may or may not be true, and it doesn't matter because single use zoning in most American cities makes it illegal to build walkable cities. It's pretty hard to establish what Americans prefer when the alternative what they have isn't allowed.

This is an absurd position.

Vaccination isn't just a good idea in the abstract, it is a good idea (for public health) in the real world.

Natural immunity is not better just because it correlates to a lower breakthrough infection rate than vaccination immunity. If you choose the natural immunity path, you're subjecting yourself (and others) to higher risk of death and health problems.

That's like saying the Roman and Carthaginian empires both fell around the same time, and thus were part of the same event. Pre-industrial populations naturally fluctuate over time, and some regions may have been in a slight decline prior to European contact, but nothing at all comparable to after contact, when population decreased by about 90% in 50 years.

To me a place like hidden glen north is odd. It's a tract surrounded by soundwalls and has few exits from the development, whereas in normal developments you have intersections with all streets. This kind of development follows the thoroughfare model where smaller streets feed larger streets which feed boulevards/expressways which feed freeways. They are built in such a way the actual city neighborhood is disconnected from its surroundings and makes transit by anything other than car difficult -buses don't go in, and biking is fraught -all relatively close to the downtown area. Suburbs are better designed than that.
Perhaps, but I'm just trying to post-hoc explain why Tesla seems to be outselling the competition.

Also, have you considered that Autopilot is less about the quality and more about the permissiveness? Volvo sells lane keeping software that works just as well if not better, but it requires me to look at the road and keep my hands on the wheel. Tesla has no such scruples -- arguably a bad thing, but drivers seem to like it. Maybe it's the "Uber model" of self-driving: ship it early, break all the rules, but satisfy your customers.
I think some of the walls like that might even be for "traffic dampening" ie- so people don't cut through the neighborhoods to get somewhere else.

I think 'input contains control sequences' can be filed away along with 'input contains vertical tab' as 'you're on your own, kid'.

Just handling newlines and tabs is relatively trivial. I think it's even a k&r exercise.

ncurses filters out escape sequences. You can, too (which is probably a nicer approach than attempting to model them).

The computer is supposed to make our lives better, we should not be required to make the computer’s (or programmers’) life better. Your attitude reminds me of the people in the 60s who included punch cards in the utility bills, marking them “DO NOT FOLD, SPLINDLE, OR MUTILATE” (it became a meme). Or the people in Spain who changed their alphabet to make it easier for computers to sort.

Christopher Alexander had developed this idea of pattern languages and living architecture. Although the idea of pattern languages turned into cookie-cutter design elements selected by the developer and enforced by the HOA, they were originally meant to allow residents to have functional, aesthetic, and cohesive architecture. That is, in all the possible pattern languages, there are pattern languages that, no matter what combination is chosen, you have functional and cohesive architecture.

Residents and communities then, can then choose something that work for their family and for their communities. Architecture comes alive, and lives and grows with the residents.
False comparison. Holding a gun to my head and threatening my life is not a social consequence, it’s assault with the use of deadly force. The fact you gloss over that fact and so glibly make this comparison is rather disturbing.

There isn't one. Unless you're using a fixed-width font character placement doesn't equal the human placement (length); and if you're limited by technical means you usually care about the raw encoding (byte/octets?) length of the underlying encoding.

In both cases, for anyone that cares about the limit, the starting byte / octet for the next character is probably sufficient knowledge and offset, and update that accordingly with some movement iterations jumping multiple units if the traversed element is wide.
yeah, it's broken for every search I tried
I think we've over-corrected on that front. Indeed, one place in which I lived (a modern build) had (on paper) five bedrooms and four bathrooms (three en suite). But there were four of us, so two of those 'bedrooms' weren't used as such; leaving too many bathrooms. Mad really, I agree. Downstairs WC in addition to those.

(And it's not like there were a plethora of reception rooms to go with them - surely a family that was going to actually use five bedrooms as five bedrooms would want space to spread out a bit, even if a couple of them had to share a bathroom as a result?!)

(Before that a three-bedroom Victorian build - one nice large bathroom and a small WC+shower room, I suspect the latter was a later division. Neither en suite. Point is it is (was?) a modern fetish, and I think (hope?) it's waning slightly.)

Maybe we can dump several thousand tons of nuclear waste into a fault:

"In June 2012 S. David Freeman, the former head of the Southern California Public Power Authority and "a longtime anti-nuclear voice",[30] described San Onofre and Diablo Canyon as "disasters waiting to happen: aging, unreliable reactors sitting near earthquake fault zones on the fragile Pacific Coast, with millions of Californians living nearby".

The San Onofre plant used seawater for cooling, like some other seaside facilities in Southern California, lacking the large cooling towers typically associated with nuclear generating stations. Limited available land next to SONGS would likely have required towers to be built on the opposite side of Interstate 5.[32]

More than 4,000 tons of radioactive waste are stored at San Onofre."

> 2. The dirty secret of car dependency is that most people (in the US) like being car dependent. In all but the densest largest cities, private vehicles are so much more convenient. Even in Manhattan there are a nontrivial number of people who cling to their cars.

We recently moved from city center to a blue-collar suburb and it is notable to me how much of a car aficionado culture there is here! A lot of my neighbors are into repairing and working on old (and new!) cars. They LOVE their cars and go to car meetups.

It amuses me sometimes on here when people talk about how every car on the road is going to be self-driving soon and I think of my neighbors... they will ride around in a self-driving car when hell freezes over. One of my more redneck neighbors actually told me he enjoys brake-checking and cutting off the self-driving test vehicles he sees on the road. Which... I was kind of horrified but maybe that's good for the car's AI to learn. :-/

Nope.

States vary somewhat in their laws, but in my home state of California, the laws state only:

California Vehicle Code (CVC) Section 21452(a): "A driver facing a steady circular yellow or yellow arrow signal is, by that signal, warned that the related green movement is ending or that a red indication will be shown immediately thereafter."

CVC Section 21454: "When lane use control signals are placed over individual lanes, those signals shall indicate and apply to drivers of vehicles as follows:
(a) Green indication: A driver may travel in any lane over which a green signal is shown.
(b) Steady yellow indication: A driver is thereby warned that a lane control change is being made.
(c) Steady red indication: A driver shall not enter or travel in any lane over which a red signal is shown.
(d) Flashing yellow indication: A driver may use the lane only for the purpose of making a left turn to or from the highway."

A yellow light on a traffic control signal in the state of California only indicates an upcoming transition to a red light, which a driver must stop for. There is no requirement that a driver must stop for a yellow.

It's the sort of warmed-over end of history liberalism you see in Ivy League schools, NGOs, corporate HR departments, the UN, etc. It includes wokism but it extends much further than that. It is not becoming more relativist, it is supremely confident about what is good and what is bad, what is sacred, profane, taboo, etc. In fact, its conception of the sacred just seems to be getting larger each year. It has most of the elements of a religion at this point, and will probably have more in the future. I think Yang's "Successor ideology" is a good term for it because it also lacks a lot of the features of historical liberalism.

In any case, we are hardly ruled by libertines.

> should make all of these things irrelevant except nutrition

That certainly looks like an improvement, but I would imagine that things like poverty and the student's home situation would still play a similar role to nutrition. That is: given two children of equivalent raw "intelligence", if one has a stable home situation with loving parents who stress focus and discipline and the other bounces between homes in the foster care system with no good role models, I would expect the former to score higher on just about any test you could give them.

> the tasks involved are things nobody really studies for

Perhaps that is true today, but I see no reason Goodhart's law would not apply -- if you start basing a student's educational opportunities on how well they score on an RPM test, then a cottage industry of RPM test prep will emerge. There are some tests that are exceedingly hard to train for (e.g. dual n-back comes to mind) but looking at RPM it doesn't seem like something that would take much practice to pick up some reasonable strategies.

Again, I still think testing is very useful, especially for spotting outliers in a similar-enough population and ensuring they get additional resources necessary to excel. I'm just skeptical about social scientists' claims that intelligence can be objectively measured by a multiple-choice test in a way that cannot be gamed by people with enough resources.

FWIW the study focuses on the coding region of the human genome, i.e., the other 2%.

It is also important to point out that the fraction of non-coding DNA in a genome depends on the organism and is not correlated to complexity. There are multicellular organisms with less than 5% of it as well as unicellular organisms with amounts of DNA orders of magnitude higher than humans.
