But check your local laws first. There are often specific rules for bicycles in the traffic. Here, for example, is Washington state's law on lane position:

RCW 46.61.770

Riding on roadways and bicycle paths.

(1) Every person operating a bicycle upon a roadway at a rate of speed less than the normal flow of traffic at the particular time and place shall ride as near to the right side of the right through lane as is safe except:

__(a) While preparing to make or while making turning movements at an intersection or into a private road or driveway;

__(b) When approaching an intersection where right turns are permitted and there is a dedicated right turn lane, in which case a person may operate a bicycle in this lane even if the operator does not intend to turn right;

__(c) While overtaking and passing another bicycle or vehicle proceeding in the same direction; and

__(d) When reasonably necessary to avoid unsafe conditions including, but not limited to, fixed or moving objects, parked or moving vehicles, bicyclists, pedestrians, animals, and surface hazards.

(2) A person operating a bicycle upon a roadway or highway other than a limited access highway, which roadway or highway carries traffic in one direction only and has two or more marked traffic lanes, may ride as near to the left side of the left through lane as is safe.

(3) A person operating a bicycle upon a roadway may use the shoulder of the roadway or any specially designated bicycle lane.

(4) When the operator of a bicycle is using the travel lane of a roadway with only one lane for traffic moving in the direction of travel and it is wide enough for a bicyclist and a vehicle to travel safely side-by-side within it, the bicycle operator shall operate far enough to the right to facilitate the movement of an overtaking vehicle unless other conditions make it unsafe to do so or unless the bicyclist is preparing to make a turning movement or while making a turning movement.

(5) Persons riding bicycles upon a roadway shall not ride more than two abreast except on paths or parts of roadways set aside for the exclusive use of bicycles
In 1998, a 'standard' PC was around a 200MHz Pentium (single core) with a PCI graphics card. Having owned such a machine I can only say it will NOT render Unreal on 1280x1024 at 'full frame rate'. You needed something like a Voodoo card (which didn't do half of the job a full 'GPU' does today) and even then performance tanked at higher resolutions than 640x480 VGA...
It pretty much is, and it's also illegal at least where I live -- cyclists are required to use bike ways/lanes if present, and cyclist's opinion about its serviceability doesn't matter if the bike way isn't officially closed.

It's also stretching luck, because whoever designed the intersections could have assumed there are no bikes on the road, since they all are required to ride bike way and therefore might be less visible on the road.

If you can describe exactly what Bruno's heresy was and the effect it had, I'm happy to continue this conversation.

If you can't, then it's just a waste of my time.
I have tried not to subvocalize but haven’t been successful in doing so. I feel that I enjoy internal monologue as it allows me to be more involved with the author.

I also read a lot of poetry, and internal monologue is a thing of beauty when reading that as I change intonation, or read out loud, and all.

Lately, even prose or novels that I read tend to be beautifully written, lyrical, or are more enjoyable with internal monologue.
The 25x number already includes this effect. Methane is much much more potent than CO2, but since it breaks down rapidly then over the course of a 100 years the average effect is 25x.

So: if you first say "25x" then you cannot say "break down" afterwards because that is included in the 25x, you are then mentally including the breakdown twice.

There are also higher numbers in use than 25x that is used for the effect over shorter horizons. But 100 years seems like a good horizon for the humanity getting through the crisis or not.
No, Rust can be still slow (slower than well-optimized garbage-collected languages) if you perform memory allocations on the heap all over the place, ignore cache coherency, use #[derive(Clone, Copy)] everywhere, and use Rc<T> and Arc<T> to solve all your typical ownership issues (plus making the wrong algorithmic/data structure decisions). Language is only a tool, you don't automatically write fast software by using a "better" language.

That said, I think the design decisions of the Rust borrow checker leads most developers either to write borrow-checker-agnostic code by using indices and Vec<T> instead (see https://kyren.github.io/2018/09/14/rustconf-talk.html), or go ham with Rc<T> and Arc<T> until the language basically becomes similar to (but slower than) garbage-collected languages like Go. The former leads to performant code but makes you question why you are using Rust in the first place, and the latter leads to slow unwieldy code and also makes you question why you are using Rust in the first place.
>Novice riders are trained to stick to an invisible (or painted) bike lake which ends up with them being far less visible than they need to be.

I don't think it necessarily has to do with being a novice, sometimes it's just the law. I bike mostly in Oregon and as far as I am aware you have stay in the bike lane if there is one, unless you are passing it the lane is blocked. ORS 814.420
why is rust 'faster' then c++? I can understand it might be safer, but I think c++ never had a bad reputation for execution speed.
”While undergoing functional MRI, participants completed an aggression task against both an ingroup and an outgroup opponent in which their opponents repeatedly provoked them at varying levels and then participants could retaliate. Participants were then socially included and then excluded by two outgroup members and then completed the same aggression task against the same two opponents.”

I am not an expert but this seems like a dumpster fire in terms of experimental control.
1. Practice reading without subvocalizing the words in your head

2. Read sections, lines, or blocks of text at a time instead of word by word.

3. Use your hand/fingers/ruler/index card/etc as a guide to help focus on each line at a time, until you can do the above without them.

4. Read more, practice the above

Is that something that's just cultural in the community or is it something explicitly taught by university orientation/course work?
I don't think Schadenfreude is dependant on whether or not the person is in the ingroup/outgroup.
The company you work for doesn't want to use the "technology and ideology" for anything other than own profit. It's why they are a company. If you don't like working for them but you like the tech, find a job in another field and just experiment with the tech on your own time. Or launch a startup that you feel it's game changing with that technology.
This is strong point that is conveniently overlooked. That the language is alpha and 0.2.4, should be clue enough that it is a WIP by default (at this point), by those that have actually tried it.

Valid criticisms of the language should arguably be more directed towards its issues on GitHub (https://github.com/vlang/v/issues), in addition to any blog or article, where the contributors and developers can address them.

When approached correctly, and not in an adversarial and combative way, I've seen the V community be very friendly and helpful.

> By that standard, over 99% of Bitcoin mining is waste because because most of the power goes into solving artificial difficulty.

This is circular reasoning. The difficulty adjustment is part of the protocol, and the purpose of the protocol is to secure the network from attacks. You might think that’s useless, I don’t.
Agreed. Wallet security needs to improve.

That said, my company was recently scammed with a phishing attack where we were sent an invoice from one of our vendors. Someone had hacked the vendors accounting firm and we paid it to an different account number, get this… in the same bank. So, scammers were able to create an account, with kyc in the same bank. Crazy.

We are struggling to get the money back now.

It's not really something you can "link" to tho? But the basic loop of development in most cases (in compiled languages) is making a code change, then building the software (or tests), and then running the software (or tests) to check that your change did what it was supposed to do.

Building the software is divided into two steps; compiling your source files into object files, then linking those object files together into an executable. As a project grows, the time taken by the compile step in this development loop stays roughly constant; if you only change a single source file, only that source file has to be recompiled. However, the link step has to link together all your object files, from scratch, every time, so the time taken by the link step grows roughly linearly as the project size grows.

Since mainstream linkers are fairly slows, an incremental build of huge projects is generally dominated by the link step. I've personally experienced the pain of making a small change to Chromium, waiting a second or so for the source file I changed to be recompiled, then waiting a minute or two for the linker to go through every single object file and produce the final executable. Mold would have reduced the build time in the development loop from minutes to seconds.

I hope that helped.
Environmental cost is a BS argument because nobody talks about the environmental cost of the already existing technologies that they are using. Everything we plug into power in our houses comes from the same power sources which the crypto miners also use. They dont come from elsewhere. So there is no difference in between using an electric car and crypto in that regard - you are still using carbon-producing energy. All energy needs to be green. Crypto, EV, gaming, this or that technology or application of technology cannot be targeted specifically.
When I started riding motorcycle, I remember having this amazing feeling of being connected to my environment. Even though I was on the same roads and going the same speed as when I was in a car, it was wonderful and quite inexplicable.

You stop at a sign or light, and you put your foot down. You have the wind at your face, the sun on your back. No radio, no cell phone beeping at you. You wave to motorcyclists coming from the opposite direction.

Not that riding is without its dangers or downsides, to be sure, but it can be wonderful.
They are, but they're also aware of the effort vs return on dealing with a "small percentage of the population" as you admit. Sometimes its worth it, often it isn't.
I've seen this frequently in large companies as well. That's why you see legacy systems with random tech.
If you start with "baseline, one-process performance", you're likely to mislead yourself, since no modern server has fewer than eight, and a single-thread benchmark can omit important locks. A modern baseline is probably two to four cores, even if you're running multiple services on one machine.

Anecdotally we have about 1/3 of our roof with a vaulted ceiling and the other 2/3 with an attic. The side with an attic is the side that would be suitable for solar panels (more sun at the right angle) or adjacent to the vaulted ceilings. The leaks that came up were all on the insulated vaulted ceiling side; starting about 25 years old, and we had another every couple years for about five years until replacing the roof. The attic parts never had any problems.
Judging by a previous thread about Citybound, the author is aware of Erlang and was used as an inspiration (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19587634):

> A much simpler, but faster version of some of Erlang yes. It was a huge inspiration. If I hadn't done some stuff in Erlang before, I would never have invented this architecture, and probably would never get the idea to do multiplayer.
I think the operative trope is more Sturgeon's Law than Gell-Mann Amnesia. I had a period where I was reading obsessively about Covid, including reading papers and listing to TWiV (which is very informative but requires a massive time commitment). What I found is that the best of the science journalists (Helen Branswell, Jon Cohen, Kai Kupferschmidt, Amy Maxmen, Ed Jong) were excellent, writing with a deep understanding of the subject material and providing useful context. The median news story was just awful, and the WSJ and NYT opinion pages were for the most part a dumpster fire ("There Isn't a Coronavirus 'Second Wave'" is a masterpiece, chef's kiss).

I've generally found the same thing is true in other domains. Seek out writers who know their stuff. They exist, they're just not consistently the most popular.
I was referring to college sports programs, which are a huge deal in the United States (where this study took place).

Pick 35 random male college students and you will get a lot of college sports fans.
N of 1, but many of the school teachers I know are learning tech and joining tech professions.

Passion for teaching only takes you so far when you can't afford anything.
The attrition is not imaginary. From https://www.nea.org/advocating-for-change/new-from-nea/surve...:

According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), there were approximately 10.6 million educators working in public education in January 2020; today there are just 10.0 million, a net loss of around 600,000.

The BLS Job Openings and Labor Turnover survey found that the ratio of hires to job openings in the education sector reached new lows as the 2021-22 school year started. It currently stands at 0.59 hires for every open position, a large decrease from 1.54 in 2010 and 1.06 in 2016.

> Doug and I were counseled to know our “opponent” (Go) inside and out

> Rust Evangelism Strike Force

I know these are in quotes or meant as a joke, but it still is very off-putting to me. It's a team of 40 engineers and they have different subgroups of people coordinating essentially political efforts to advocate for programming languages. I would not like to work at a company like that.

What is with Rust and this uniquely fanatical evangelism? For me the biggest reason for not using it is the rabidness of its advocates. While they state technical reasons it seems the reasons are not technical in nature, which leads to my gut reaction of not taking them seriously.
It's not universal among U.S. college students either. I went to a Div3 top-tier (academically) liberal arts college, and most people were oblivious to how our sports teams did, unless you were on the team or close friends with someone who was. Probably because we lost a large percentage of the time.

The sports culture is much more relevant at Div1 schools. These get a disproportionate amount of air time (at least as far as sports go), but that's largely because those are the schools where sporting matches are worth watching.

I think that’s true, but also it’s not clear what tools a startup should use. Even if they stick to a single VM, managing that VM in a way that is reasonably safe and reproducible is somewhat important—the more often you have people manually SSHing onto the VM the more likely you will need to recover functionality from scratch while also making it almost impossible to do so in any timely manner (because the functioning state of the VM is the result of many thousands of manual changes, many of which are undocumented, incompletely documented, or incorrectly documented). So then you can start learning about automating changes on a machine, but now you’re into territory that is about as complex as Kubernetes (or perhaps not “complex” as much as “you have to figure out what combination of tools and practices will work”, while a cloud-provider’s managed Kubernetes makes a lot of these kinds of choices for you out of the box and many others are obvious).

Similarly, you might reasonably try to use a PaaS, and it might work at first, but then you need to do something as common as a background task and find that your PaaS doesn’t support things like that (you can try running it in a process in your PaaS’s container and just accept that the background tasks are likely to be interrupted periodically?).

I don’t think Kubernetes is the
answer for a startup, but it’s not obvious what “the answer” is, and much of the discussion ignores the complexity in the alternatives. It’s not helpful to say “Kubernetes is too complex” without articulating a simpler alternative (unless you are hinting at a market opportunity).
You could probably find a local caching library to do the same thing in-process (via mmap) and partially reduce workload that way. Hopefully, using a local library needs less managerial involvement than installing/using a service.
I’m willing to bet you make much more than a teacher.

Regardless, IMO it’s less likely a teacher stays because of wanting a summer break, and more that there aren’t alternative jobs for them.

Personally I know a lot of teachers who hate it, but are stuck.
Most people around here eat (or wish to) at the Silicon Valley VC money manger. They are ultra-fiat people. It's understandable that a decentralized form of money that removes money mangers (other notable ones are the military and medical industrial complexes) makes them unhappy.
Something that should be noted here is that our brains won't work properly without adequate nutrition. Our neurons require plenty of potassium to operate and other minerals such as magnesium and zinc. On top of that essential fatty acids and amino acids are super important for making neurotransmitters

All of this gets ignored because the poors deserve it or some stupid nonsense thrown around by the people with money and power
Everyone breaks laws. Cars and cyclists just break different laws. For example it is also illegal to drive so close to the car in front of you that you can't brake, and yet we have lots of rear-end accidents.

No, this does not match history. Speaking for Indic scripts, which I know best: the first Devanagari books were printed in the 1700s. While this is a few centuries later than Gutenberg's printing press c. 1450, by the time Unicode (or even computers) came into existence, there were already several centuries of "much printing press and typewriter use" (ok, maybe only a century or so of typewriters).

Do you really think "those Arabs and what-not" did not have printing before Unicode condescended to "accommodate them" in 1988? Traditional printing could very well do Indic scripts, and so could typewriters. And so could computers: in fact, Unicode for Indic scripts takes inspiration from ISCII, an Indian standard extending ASCII for encoding scripts on computers, that dates back to 1983.
Something things you might want to consider. as this article points out human brains evolved to push the individual to identify with a group and be hostile to other groups because it improved fitness. Through most of human existence this group survival pressure outweighed objective rational perception of reality . Political parties often tap into this in group out group emotional connection. While I agree that Republican Party logic is often weak and often emotional, I would argue that the Democratic Party is as well, just on different issues.
Not insane. Malicious. It's intent to intimidate or injure or kill. It absolutely should be an arrestable offense, but without witnesses or video, the police will not take it seriously.

Those in aggressive driver areas should consider "bikecam" video an insurance policy. If you're injured, you'll need the money, and they should have to pay. A lot. And get a lawyer. I suppose it's a small deterrent but also a cheap one.
Can anybody help explain when organizations should use Talos instead of cloud-vendor-managed Kubernetes offerings (EKS/AKS/GKE)? Especially considering that the managed offerings now fit most regulatory requirements (e.g. EKS is FedRAMP-High Authorized)? Or does Talos see most of its use in on-prem environments?

From the interview:
“Steven Pinker talks about a language instinct—I think we may actually have a moral instinct. We come into the world, and we ask our parents to tell us right from wrong. We may kick against it because children do that, but to have that framework of right and wrong is important to us as human beings. As we get older, those ideas became more sophisticated. And that’s where I think the whole humanist idea comes in: that we work out for ourselves what is right and wrong. We don’t have it handed down to us.”
