From the section "Casts have a side-effect":

> But in this case, the operation in question is (uintptr_t)x, which has no side-effect – right? Wrong. This is exactly the key lesson that this example teaches us: casting a pointer to an integer has a side-effect, and that side-effect has to be preserved even if we don’t care about the result of the cast. ... We have to lose some optimization, as the example shows. However, the crucial difference to the previous section is that only code which casts pointers to integers is affected.

So even if we never even use the result, casting a pointer to an integer is problematic.

But in the explanation he only talks about the problems of int2ptr cast, which I do undestand.
How many pedestrians are killed by bicycles in the US every year?

That's it. Tons of homeowners are letting at a loss in the superstar cities. They're banking on appreciation, or see inherent value to stake a foothold in their city, possibly for generations.

The cost of renting in the most expensive markets is much lower than the cost of home-ownership in those same markets. It's not because of supposed rent-extraction of landlords that housing is expensive.

Renters will be in for a cold shower if they think that the cost of rent is just because of parasitic extraction from landlords right now. It's because of a zoning structure and tax-code which punishes capital investment in land, and favors speculative landholding. Without meaningful change to either, there won't be downward pressure on rents.
Well, I would rather say there are probably way too many people, who would totally trust such a place with their whole health, just because of the name and some other esoteric buzzwords like indigenous, ancient wisdom.

I do have great respect for "real" shamans. But I met way too many fake ones, handing out horrible and dangerous advice, while glowing in their self declared illuminative state of higher consciousness.
I came here to see this. I used to hack scsh scripts in grad school, back when I was entirely too obsessed with functional languages. It's weird shell, but fun to use if you like that kind of thing.

> you don't even need a car. Just Uber everywhere,

So you need a car, just paying for one as a service instead of direct ownership.
Neovim is such a weird derivative utility to me. Derivative/forked software usually isn't very successful to begin with, but then Neovim makes attempts to be modern and it's so not appealing at all. Here are some 5 second examples.

Example 1:

nvim .

Still uses Netrw, which is fine, but doesn't even attempt to do things like:

let g:netrw_preview=1
let g:netrw_banner=0
let g:netrw_browse_split=4
let g:netrw_liststyle= 3
let g:netrw_altv=1
let g:netrw_winsize=8

So that you get something that remotely resembles a modern text editor's tree view.

Example 2:

set number

Line numbers are off by default. Why? Why are all of these other configurations on by default? Every editor shows line numbers by default and Neovim doesn't make this 1 line configuration effort to look like everyone else.

Example 3:

set mouse

Mouse is off by default. Again, why? I get that it's a terminal editor, but if the technology is there to allow me to select text with my mouse, why do we need act like luddites?

After setting up my .vimrc file with sane defaults and a bit of an attempt to use the editor in earnest, my conclusion is that Vim/Neovim is just a bad editor.

I want more from my editors.

Here's a .vimrc file that attempts to make Vim and compatible editors more like Visual Studio Code, Atom, and Sublime Text:

https://github.com/andrewmcwatters/dotfiles/blob/main/.vimrc

And it's still bad.
Have you played around with an equalizer (hardware or software, doesn't matter) that offers rather extreme adjustments like +15dB or more, to see if you can approximate a flat source+ear system? Or is your loss more like a brickwall filter than a 12dB/octave slope for example?

I'm an audio engineer, not an audiologist, so I'm just shooting from the hip here as it's something I've been curious about in case I develop a similar issue as I age.
What's the point? Linux has surpassed Solaris in every way. The only possible explanation for this I can think of is: There may be some companies stuck with some software that only runs on solaris, and they need to keep onboarding new engineers to deal with it, and they want those engineers to go through solaris training, and this makes the training go more smoothly, since the trainees don't have to sync with a license server. But, it's a stretch.

It's a merit for the fewest number of people. Not to get all socialism on this. Cutthroat certainly moved advancement forward by leaps and bounds (industrialization, Dot Com, etc.) but it comes with an awful lot of drawbacks at the same time (Pollution, Taking disproportionate advantage of the workforce, making evil decisions because 'it's cheaper to pay the family of the deceased than it is to fix the problem')
Well, I guess you’re a data point. Is said to be the best time to look and companies are desperate for talent. So folks >30-35 will be the test… If they find work “like younger people”, we’ll believe the hype. If, however, they get the same song and dance about lack of current experience, companies are just looking for cheap newbies and frustrated they can’t get them easily.

I would think there are lots of niche and non faang stuff out there but nobody is bothering to look. Or, they’re all in it for the $$ alone.
I have news for you: drivers don't think laws apply to them either. I've nearly been killed several times because of it, and I know people who have been killed.

RIP Dan Spira, one of the faster guys in Denver at the time of his death: https://www.bicyclecolorado.org/join-us/donate/remembering-d...

Thanks to Bicycle Colorado's advocacy, perhaps I won't have drivers intentionally trying to side swipe me next time I ride through stop signs in a safe (and legal!) manner.
The article and provided information answers all of your questions. The point is to get the cyclist out of a danger zone as fast as possible.

Why make this legal statewide?

Intersections are by far the most dangerous locations for bicyclists, in Colorado and elsewhere. The most recent data we have from the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT), which is comprehensive for the state from 2017-2019, indicates that in that time frame 72.2% of reported crashes between bicyclists and drivers took place at intersections or were "intersection related." When bicyclists are able to get out of the intersection and away from that conflict zone before a potential crash can even occur their safety improves.

The Safety Stop is safer for bicyclists and motorists alike. Research shows that the Safety Stop:

● Reduces interactions between motorists and bicyclists in intersections.

● Reduces crashes in intersections.

● Increases the visibility of bicyclists in the intersection.

● Reduces the number of bicyclist-only injuries associated with starting and stopping on a
bicycle.

"I'm not sure I see the point." "Is bicycling so hard..." ... "bicycle activists seem to think everybody is responsible for the safety of cyclists except the cyclists."

You see how you brought a level of animosity towards this relatively benign measure to increase cyclist safety? Yeah, that's why stuff like this is important. People with a "cars first" mentality have no appreciation for the vulnerability of cyclists and often go out of their way to ridicule them.
That doesn't work because Wikipedia doesn't store your IP forever if you have an account. If they allowed what you described, then you could make a bunch of accounts with your real IP, wait 90 days for the IP you made it from to be forgotten, then vandalize with them all over VPNs, and they couldn't do anything about it other than reactively blocking each account individually.
> If you're a lifelong programmer the time it'll take to be proficient in Vim is a drop in the bucket in the grand scheme of thing

I just don't see it? I spent a good 6 months only using vim to see if I could get it to stick. Then I took a year break. After the break I forgot nearly every shortcut I was using minus a select few. I never got to the point of even matching my efficiency in other editors, let alone surpassing them.

6 months alone is already more than what I would consider worth in regards to time spent learning a tool for the little gain I see it bringing over just using intuitive, albeit less efficient, alternatives.
I miss being able to hear every little note with full range. A combination of construction noise and some loud music did it for me and I can’t even “imagine” music with full range in my head like I use to before my hearing damage and tinnitus.
I came from coc.nvim and switched to the native LSP when it was released on nightly. For a while I was using VSCode and came back to nvim and switched back to coc.nvim.

I found that the native LSP's community to be too quickly changing. Plugins that were necessary earlier weren't, while new necessary plugins came into play. But, coc.nvim was steady chugging along and my old settings file worked out of the box.

I'm also not a huge fan of just the sheer amount of plugins that use the LSP. It seems like every plugin has go-to functionality.
That shows exactly the point, 10% for maintenance isn't enough, doesn't cover taxes, insurance, and other costs, and netting $200/month on a (assumed) $450k+ house isn't great, that's less than the interest earned on a deposit of the same amount.

Even if you only count the downpayment, $2400 a year on $90k is a 2.6% return; you therefore are getting the majority of your return from appreciation.

To actually make a profit on the rental portion, you need to discount the appreciation. You can do this if you're paying into a mortgage from 20 years ago and renting at todays prices, but that's just ignoring the fact that you could sell the property.

The biggest risk that most small landlords don't account for is a bad tenant - they exist and they will quickly eat through your $200/net a month.

The final proof is no company anywhere is building single-family rentals. If there was money to be made there, they would; but you need to get to apartments and the cost-savings inherent in them before it makes sense.
The issue is about the # of new developers joining the development if you look at the Linux kernel development as an organization, not about # of non-merge changesets merged.
I do like having an in office job, but with the flexibility of working from home as needed.

I don't even mind the commute as much. What I absolutely hate is open offices. I want my own office where I can have some privacy to think and have space.
The article is correct. The effect is statistical not psychological. It emerges even from artificial data and occurs independently of the supposed psychological justifications even for data where those justifications are clearly removed.

If you adjust the experiment design to avoid introducing the auto-correlation you get data that doesn't show the DK effect at all. Some might take issue with the adjusted experiment as using seniority related categories like "sophomore" and "junior" as skill levels has its own issues. To show the DK effect is real you need to come up with a better adjusted experiment that avoids the autocorrelation while still generating data that generates the effect. It's unclear if that's possible.
Yeah I'm gonna go ahead and stay stopped on my bike at stop lights and stop signs. I'm not in such a rush that I would risk getting creamed by some drunk, tired, or impatient driver. I don't care what the law says, I don't trust people in cars. (and I find it annoying when I stop for a car, and then they tell me to go.... no dude, I want you to go, because I don't want to be in front of your car)
I am in the same boat. In my case, I think Covid affected the microcirculation in my ear. I've been having success in addressing it through therapies to promote blood flow and endothelial repair.
And most likely all of those vendors haven't upstreamed any of that.
... which is the point I'm making. If you measure something, then create a policy to change the thing you measure, then measure it again. At that point measurement and policy are designed to be dependent on each other. If the measurement had given a different outcome the policy would have never seen the light of day. You can't get much more dependent than that. Stating these are independent is like saying your parents had nothing to do with your birth.

And if you will allow me a different statistical fallacy: this is 99.9% of what we do with statistics. You can measure once, then change things. Then you can never measure the same thing again. Stating "we saw 5% unemployment, then did policy X, now we see 4% unemployment. Success!" ... that's mathematically wrong and a statistical fallacy.

The issue is: this is how government is run.

I think the difference between your and the other opinion is what does "learn vim" mean?

Is it enough to know how to enter insert mode, make an edit, then save and quit? That's easy enough to learn in a weekend.

Or is it learn how to edit efficiently using the various vim commands? That will indeed take much longer than a weekend.

(Even getting it configured just the way you want to will probably take more than a weekend...)
That one is fine, but most of the rest of them seem inappropriate to me.
Have they coupled this new law with the money and resources necessary for cyclist and motorist education?

Without a public education campaign, drivers will not know this has changed and will interact dangerously with cyclists at intersections.
The person who is leading this project and making it happen, Miguel Ojeda, is a long-term kernel developer. Whatever your experience might be of other RIIR evangelism, this project initiative is coming from an insider rather than an outsider.
What is _computing_? What is _math_?

I am genuinely interested in your response.

From what I have gathered, computing is actually ill-defined, almost as hand-wavy as "the consciousness problem."

Mathematics is a set of mental models and or formal languages to reason about quantities or at least "things." Is one way I look at it, would you agree, have an additional perspective?

Computation is.... ?

I've come to some simple definitions of computation trying to find an axiomatic root, I'll share if interested.
> Monitors are now starting to go smart.

This an understatement!

I recently watched a review for one of Samsung's new monitors and it turns out you don't even need to connect it to any source.

I don't just mean media sources like Netflix, Amazon, TV, etc... You can literally connect to MS Office and perform trivial desktop activities on it once you connect a mouse and keyboard.

All of this at a pretty compelling price even if you take all of this bloat out of the equation.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3pVapqSSccc

> The only way they won't all be smart eventually is if there is a market for dumb monitors that outweighs what the manufacturers make from putting remote agents into them.

And really, if one of the manufactures is doing this, they all have to... There will be no way to compete with those that are able to lower the cost of their product by subsidizing it through these agents. The average consumer isn't savvy enough to understand this difference and chose the "better" product.
Mine's older than yours and I don't know what you mean, the DNC targeted reddit? Dramatic shift? Reddit started far left (being focused on science and tech) even horse-shoeing to the point where it attracted a big Ron Paul fan base. There was an r/obama before users could make subreddits.

It's been heading right or center-right ever since the_donald (2015), r/conservative, etc have gotten so huge, if there's been any political shift.

Do you really think you'd regularly see white supremacist content on reddit in 2006 as often as you do now?
I once saw a cyclist scream at another cyclist "you have to stop" when the other cyclist didn't stop at a residential four-way stop sign intersection. IMO there wasn't any kind of safety threat.

Just an anecdote but it was pretty disturbing tbh, because the guy seemed absolutely enraged that another cyclist wasn't car-ing hard enough.
> So to me, the whole thread is like "running social platforms and making a lot of money is tricky, because a lot of people will rightfully hate you, but you still need to make the money, so... poor Elon?" I don't think so.

That is an open question. Tinnitus is NOT well understood. It does have fairly high correlation with SNHL, which IS pretty well understood as a matter of cochlear hair cell destruction. So there is a lot of optimism that if we can treat the latter, the former will go away, but there may be other components to it in the central nervous system. It certainly would only help to fix SNHL in trying to treat tinnitus.
> As it is bicycle activists seem to think everybody is responsible for the safety of cyclists except the cyclists.

As it is, car activists seem to think that everybody is responsible for the hazard their chosen mode of operation imposes on the safety of less dangerous road users except for car drivers.
So why are the Russians using the very specific small and flat turret-mounted type 'Javelin' cages? The article says they're not-designed for that and would be ineffective anyway and of course RPG has no top-attack (unless you're firing from a building, which as we've seen is tricky to get it to arm in time)... so why are they doing it?

You don't have to see the full logic of it! There's data collected and analyzed by people who have studied the problem!
You can connect it to the network and have it download whatever latest updates might be there and if your router is an Asus you could install wrt Merlin and use skynet and diversion to pretty much block everything from Roku and the light never blinks and you could still use your phone as a remote for the TV.
They can thank abusers for that.

But note that requiring authentication to edit doesn’t necessarily change anything about abuse, yet this thread seems to suggest
that people think it does.

Just means you need to farm a POST /register. You can attach a one time use account to every abusive edit and it’s no big deal.
Not all vehicles are equal. Bicycles pollute less, are quieter, safer for pedestrians, cause less road wear. They should be given preferential treatment over cars in places where people live and gather.

In places where bikes are common, cars should yield to bikes.
Actually: if your premise is that you're an open access facility, then having arbitrary treatment of different users is a really excellent way of undermining that premise.

For example, as was pointed out elsewhere on this discussion, having blocking controls that tend to create a higher bar for people without home internet access means you're discriminating against groups that can only afford a personal mobile device, or only have internet access at a library, or come from a particular national origin, etc.

If you care about anonymous editing, creating underclasses that cannot have it seems an unlikely way to further your mission. It's effectively a form of red-lining.

I don't understand what your email analogy is getting at, so I'm going to leave that alone.
The reason why cars hit cyclists is not for lack of understanding laws.

It's for lack of giving a damn.

Rolling-coal dude is not even going to tap the brakes running over you because there's zero penalty for killing you.

Until people start going to prison for coming within 3 feet of cyclists, let alone hitting and killing them, nothing is going to change.

I'm a big believer in letting different conveyances enjoy their superpowers. Cars can transport you at 80mph with a cage and climate control, motorcycles can lane split and filter, and bicycles have better environmental awareness (importantly because they are slow and can hear) and are less likely to cause serious injury or property damage so they can ride where cars and motorcycles cannot.

They're not the same and we don't have to give them exactly the same rules. In fact, we never have.
It would be weirder to pass a law in Colorado called the Idaho Stop Law

"The land tax should be set so that the price of the house becomes just the price of the house - the cost of the materials and labor."

How is that even possible? The root cause of property values being high in specific areas is because demand is high. Without changing demand, I don't see how it can just be labor and materials, especially since the buyer will be paying land value tax as well (since it's not a condo, high rise apartments, etc).
I don’t see the point because it my experience this is how bicyclists behave and always have. I’ve rarely ever seen one stop at a stop sign, they always coast through. As a rider myself I’ve done this but I can control my speed leading up so as to time it with the other traffic and cause minimal disruption. I’m also usually very clearly waving someone by and indicate given right of way as most drivers freeze at an intersection with a bike. It’s like the pedestrian rules apply and they have right of way by default with not other rules but that just cogs everything up. Anyways, I’m for a unified approach. Educating and changing people’s behaviors is going to be the most difficult part of this. Signing in a new law is the starting line and they seem to thing they reached the finish line.
> lose momentum in stopping that must be spent getting back up to speed - as to the significance of that last point, it affects the speed at which you arrive and the exertion you expend doing so

Actually this is significant for a different reason. Starting up again slowly means you're slowly crawling through an intersection, and intersections are the most dangerous places to be.
Despite the predominantly helpful info in your comment, you are also making assumptions about the parent commenter having an animosity and "cars first" mentality that may not be accurate or justified. See their comment elsewhere in the thread:

> I've been riding bikes in the city since I was 6 years old.
Stop signs are located based on traffic studies of automobiles. They aren't necessarily appropriate for bikes.

Of course bikes coexist with those automobiles but other comments parallel to mine talk about some of the factors that differ from cars (e.g. open sight lines).
