I disagree agree with poster, but to play devils advocate bicyclists are a free rider problem on public roads. It's pretty clear based on the design of most roads they were designed for motor vehicles, not bicycles. Fuel taxes are a major way these roads are funded and maintained, and bicyclists don't pay registration / licensing / fuel tax. Especially in heavily urban areas, roads have extremely high land value that bicyclists are unjustly profiting from.

It's not clear to me why there should be any right for bicyclists to be allowed on the road.
>Ottawa police were unable or unwilling to tackle the protest

I have yet to hear a plausible explanation for why this was.

I am very uncomfortable with the idea that the police declining to do their job is sufficient to emergency powers.

There should be proportionate responses to illegal behavior. Not even attempting to regulate illegal behavior with the appropriate government response should not be a justification for more severe government response.
They're not measuring demand. They're measuring usage.

It’s just a zip tie. It only needs to support part of the weight, the moment from the kit is reacted by the frame itself, e.g. the motor pushes the kit against the frame, when it drives the chain.

I don't understand the obsession with constructors.

Placement new exists, but I'm not sure that's what you asked w.r.t. placement initialisation, which doesn't make much sense for non-trivial types anyway.

Fallible placement initialisation into allocated memory is something that I honestly don't know a good use case for. It's certainly not something that's very common and I never encountered it.

It's just one of those things that smell like a design that doesn't suit the problem. Do you by any chance have an example for when this would be useful? I'm curious to learn about this.

Implicit copy constructors can be disabled if need be by simply deleting them (Type(Type const&) = delete). It's up to the programmer since the compiler simply cannot know. As far as auto and copies goes: almost always auto&& and when in doubt, spell it out (i.e. don't use auto).

Again, not knowing the semantics isn't really an argument against the language. It also again boils down to a case of premature optimisation if copies concern you even though there must be a profiling log pointing to that being a problem first.
I assumed the original poster was talking in the context of safety. When it comes to comfort, they all suck. :)
I'm sure it does, but doesn't it also make sense that the best and the brightest doctoral students would get accepted to elite universities, and the best and the brightest doctoral students have the highest odds of going on to teach at elite universities?

This is a fascinating topic and is related to the Kolomogorov complexity [1] and the densest I'm aware of is John Tromp's Binary lambda calculus [2]. I don't see a reason why the implementation would be larger than the Java NanoVM.

However programs in the pure λ-calculus are likely to be slower than necessary and I'd go with one enriched with at least basic integers and integer ops.

ADD: yes I know that Kolomogorov just measures self-replication, but I think it's a good proxy for code entropy. At least, I don't know of a better one.

These are all great points, and certainly highlight some of the challenges in rolling out EVs. But at a time when the climate crisis is as severe as it is today, "it's too hard" can't be an excuse. I'd still argue that this decision doesn't make sense in the context of the global problems we face today, even if they make some sort of tactical sense in the short term.

The rollout doesn't have to be an all-or-nothing thing, and the article acknowledges that some EV's will be purchased.

Humorously enough, the primary reason cited by the USPS for the decision: $$$ (I realize that's not what the GP was implying)
The city literally can't afford to repair all the bridges, and already pays qualified people to go inspect them on a regular schedule. Depending on what sort of usefulness they do show the diagnostic/imaging materials to have, perhaps the city might request scans of specific bridges, but I don't think they'd pay for scans of high rated bridges just because they're available.

One thing I'm seeing here is that Bethesda is trying to migrate everything including Save Files where they can. (Which great for them, that sounds like the right thing to do.) A migration to Steam may be technically easier for some of those things. Save files can be weird in Xbox games/Microsoft Store games. In particular, I think the Xbox Store has a much smaller portion of the "Creation Club" mods than Steam, and that may have been a strong motivator.

More cynically, this seems a "games generation" where Microsoft is trying to "win PC gamers back" by being very Steam friendly/Steam forward in their PC releases and strategy. There's a lot better PR for Microsoft here if Bethesda migrates everything to Steam, and it may just be for those PR reasons.
Note these are seperate issues, caused by the same underlying issues with float precision.

Some game engines solve the jittery rendering issues by moving the world relative to the player/camera, rather than the opposite (though it may be more intuitive). This way all your shaders work in nice accurate low floats relative to the camera at the origin, no matter the player location in the world.

But to implement worldgen with relative coordinates would be much more complex.
Right. C++ to Rust is a big jump. C++ to C# or Java or D might be automatable. At least the object model is roughly compatible.
Just curious, why GPU rendered?
I agree, you can build a movement based on community and doing things for the love of it. Allowing everyone in comes later and is for mainly for growth and profitability and usually is when we see this earlier community fracturing. That's when these websites grow bigger and bigger and start to monetize because people will not cooperate freely for nothing anymore. Commerce replace community but a community comes first and is rewarded. Commerce rewards also, in more obvious material ways.

A lot of people have a soldering iron chosen for working with PCB components and AWG 26 wire, where 30 watts is plenty of power output and a nice small tip is to be prized.

But if you take that perfectly good soldering iron and apply it to AWG 10 wire, you're going to have a bad time - because the wire will conduct heat away almost as fast as you can apply it.
Seriously? https://make.co/
It's not that easy to exhaustively test that the many different 5G systems won't accidentally corrupt radio altimeter signals. It's been in the works for a long time, and aviation and telecom groups have cooperated on this worldwide.

It's why everywhere else, there are either mitigations on 3.8-4.0GHz frequency use near airports, or the spectrum is not allocated to 5G comms.

Then, quite recently in the whole development, FCC decided to allocate 3.8-3.98GHz to telcos, without mitigations near airports

> CSS still makes layouts unreasonably complex imho.

This we can agree on. Though it could be a lot worse, and some of the newer CSS definitely gets rid of some of the warts. A lot of the bad CSS is mostly the backwards-compatible stuff.
There are 5+ million C/C++ programmers out there. Why? Because most of the world runs on C/C++. Even Java/Python/JavaScript etc. runs on C/C++ VM’s running on top of operating systems written in C/C++. Rust is nice but it will take a very very long time for it to have the kind of impact C/C++ has. If it ever happens.
The client part is exactly why people might use ngrok to get a public hostname - the number 1 priority is access to an internal resource from anywhere in the world with minimal setup, and that ngrok/other mediator means nobody needs any inbound ports open besides via loopback on the host.

> Why would anybody continue operating nodes once all the pre-programmed bitcoins are minted?

There are two parts to the reward for mining a block: newly minted bitcoins, which follow a fixed distribution and decrease over time (halving every four years), and transactions fees. The intent is that as the supply of new bitcoins decreases the transaction fees will make up the difference to sustain a reasonable level of competition among miners even with no new bitcoins entering circulation.

> If it loses miners then transactions take longer to complete.

Only in the short term. As long as the loss isn't too sudden, over time the difficulty will adjust until one block is once again being solved every ten minutes on average. (There is some risk from sudden reductions in the hash rate, as the adjustment takes some time—and that time is measured in blocks mined at the higher, unadjusted difficulty.)

The coffee shop video is cringe for me. Conversely, sitting an a virtual cafe with others using their Simula One (like BigScreen and Immersed) is a draw for me. My brief experience with BigScreen (without the movies) was of being in a shard space, similar to a coffee shop vibe. People's avatars, in front of their *visible* monitors, with voice, and of course the avatars motions tied to the HMD made it feel very much like I wasn't alone.

Given that the number of tenure-track professor positions is so low, isn't this to be expected?

What percentage of the top schools is needed to fill all the positions? Top 5%? Top 10%?

I'd be highly surprised if it the top 25% of schools were necessary to fill all spots.
One piece of context that's important is Pornhub only submitted to those changes due to mass public demands for credit card processors to cut them off, largely due to reporting on this exact problem by Nicholas Kristoff[1] in the opinion section of the New York Times.

This rather mixes simpler/more difficult and shorter/longer as equivalent - even interchangeable - aspects of writing. But these are not transitive: shorter is not simpler, nor is simpler (i.e., more understandable) necessarily shorter; similarly, a longer piece isn't more difficult simply by its length.

Writing is hard; writing clearly - more understandably - is harder yet. Writing precisely, which would link some concepts of length/wordiness directly with understandability and clarity, is the hardest of all.

How is this different from saying 80% of engineers went to engineering school?

"The observed placement rates would imply that faculty with doctorates from the top 10 units are inherently 2 to 6 times more productive than faculty with doctorates from the third 10 units." At least looking at top CS conferences the authorship of accepted papers ARE in fact this correlated (it seems to me).
Is this surprising? If you go to an elite school, you make connections with students, faculty, and similar universities, which then lead to job opportunities over other applicants. As a bonus you'll likely be a much better fit as you know the culture around the job already.

That's how it works in every single industry for better or worse.
So, arbitrary enforcement of App Store guidelines?
Did the P85D actually come to a full stop via regen? I thought that was only a feature of newer Tesla models. The newer models are certainly capable of stopping using the motor alone, you can feel the friction brakes engage to hold you at a stop.

I'm not clear that there should be any right for cars to be on the road either. Roads are for people to walk on, historically, and it's adding cars that made them dangerous. They're paid for by people who largely don't need them, too - the folks who live in the inner city
This isn't all that surprising. Although I didn't realize it was this bad.

It's not just professors either. Look at any group where academic credentialing matters (and even groups where it's not supposed to matter).

Most of the YC partners are from elite institutions. Many of the YC founders are too (to YCs credit this has gotten a lot better recently, but a while back it was either Ivy League or Berkeley/Stanford/Washington/CMU for the most part).

And I don't think YC does this intentionally nor many of the other groups where it happens. Academic signalling is just so ingrained that it happens subconsciously.
All of those altimeters are up to spec. It's just that the spec never included "must magically filter out high power leakage from 5G towers that won't exist for 30 years", and making a filter for radar altimeter is much, much harder than for telecommunication equipment.
30% getting away with arguably our worst crime seems like it doesn't bode well for the clearance rate of lesser crimes.

I wonder if a large contributor to the higher London clearance rate is related to socioeconomic factors or surveillance laws/systems.

I still don't understand why the police didn't do their job and the emergency powers were used in the first place

The correct solution to illegal behavior in a healthy democracy is to arrest someone and try them in court. We shouldn't be denying that to to anybody no matter how wrong they are.

There should be proportionate responses to illegal behavior. Not even attempting to address to illegal behavior with the appropriate government response should not be a justification for more severe government response.

Simply not wanting to go through the process of arresting people shouldn't be sufficient cause for emergency powers.
But why, when YouTube has chosen to provide the content ad-free?

If I see content I appreciate and then – for whatever reason – decide I'd like to support the creator, I'll probably just donate to their Patreon where they'll actually see most of the money I send their way.

If I pay for YouTube Premium and then I watch a video that wastes my time, I definitely do not want to send money to that creator but Premium will unavoidably do just that.
NYC to Chicago probably has a decent customer base to support that price point. For amusement, try Miami/Seattle via Amtrak. It's possible, since I looked up the route [1]. One week transit time one way, at $2,000 (I don't recall if the price was round trip or just one way). And trying to work on the train was fun (too "swishy" to use the computer: http://boston.conman.org/2015/08/05.2). Totally not worth it for me. Sadly [2].

Yeah but that's completely avoiding my point. You're claiming constructors aren't supposed to throw, but I'm pointing out the standard explicitly lets vector's constructors fail, and there's no other mechanism to handle that failure than by catching the exception (it's literally designed that way). It's fine if you prefer not to use those constructors in the first place, but that's kind of beside my point about what constructors are "supposed" to do.
No doubt, there is something to be said for prioritizing concerns for your app but apparently they just gave up completely lol

If you are using a proprietary cloud platform there can be no real SBOM, because you're relying on software you can't even get a hash of. The SBOM for the part of the software that you do control when running on such platformas has to be something that the proprietary platform supports, which obviously will have zero overlap with Debian packaging, so in that situation you just need to look at what the platform supports.

For situations where one is using Debian but also software not in Debian, you can create an internal apt repository and make internal .deb packages to put in the internal apt repository.

Short paragraphs are great in an online forum. In anything else they become very difficult. And starting paragraphs with one-sentence points is a gradeschool rule. Often a two-sentence point is more effective (see above). The only universal answer to becoming a better writer is to read more. Read material from people you think are good writers. The more good writing you read the easier it will be for you to create your own. But watch/read too much british stuff, accidentally call an elevator a lift, and everyone thinks you are british spy.
I would love to understand how the motor works out to adjust its component to torque so its assistive and not replacement. I guess a stage=1 is to make the throttle and the smarts are human (and its PBCK if it doesn't pick up right to conditions) and stage=2 is to move some of the smarts down the foodchain a bit.

The high-end E-Bike I rode briefly did a marvellous job of detecting road conditions and maintaining semi-constant speed.
