Collision types 5, 6, 7 all seem predicated on the unwritten assumption that you're in an impromptu lane (one lane, two vehicles) with a car. In that case, yeah, it's always a bad idea.

But where the collisions happen, in my experience, is the following setup:

/--------->
|
+---+ | | +-----------------
| | | | | |
|car| | B | Right |
| | | | turn |
| +---+ | | only |
| | |

From left to right, there are three lanes: Leftmost, a straight-travel lane, with a car, in the middle lane, a dedicated bike lane with a biker, and on the far right, a right turn lane for cars.

Here, the car, in the third lane from the right hand side of the road, proceeds to turn right, and clips a biker in the process. I have seen this near-hit so many times, that in my car we have a designated phrasing for it ("right turn from not the rightmost lane"), and it is, to me, the most dangerous thing out there, in turns of commonness (frighteningly common) and severity (very collision prone). (Vs. something like "driving the wrong way", which while highly dangerous, doesn't tend to happen as often, relative to this.) Happens even when the bike lane isn't a thing, in car-on-car scenarios too.

Of the three collisions I've seen cyclists in, two were this setup. (Both cyclists walked away, thankfully; the last collision I've witness was a dooring.)

The nearest-to-death I've ever been on a bike was this setup, except the turning car was in lane 1, on a 5 lane road. I.e., he turned right, from the left turn only lane, across 4 lanes of traffic, and nearly hit me in the process. I was forced to take the right (basically along his side) in order to avoid the collision. His words: "sorry."

On dooring,

> Ride to the left. Ride far enough to the left that you won't run into any door that's opened unexpectedly.

Where I am we have dedicated bike lanes. To ride left enough to avoid a door would require me to abandon the bike lane, as it isn't wide enough for a door and a bike.

> Came here to say this. Bicycling is absolute madness to me in any location that doesn't have dedicated separate bike paths. You are maximizing all possible sources of risk by riding a bicycle on shared roads.

> I've ridden motorcycles since I was 16, and everyone always sees me as the daredevil. Yet, I still think bicycle commuters are the true madmen. Zero protection, can't keep up with traffic, your very presence is a psychological irritant to motorists which causes them to wish you harm, etc.

> But don't take my word for it: https://youtu.be/wM8Xli2KTzI

Whatever one might think about the general premise, but this video is absolute rubbish. All the little example videos he puts in is of people riding on crazy tuned e-bikes or downhill bikes etc.. On the other hand the few instances of motorcycling videos show him just riding along in traffic, a bit disingenuous.

> My only advice to cyclists: put your bike on your car's bike rack, take to a bike path and enjoy. If you want to get on a road on two wheels, buy a motorcycle and wear every piece of protective gear you can afford. You (and your family) can thank me later.

Considering that the article points to bike paths off general roads your post is a bit redundant.

I would still question your premise. You ride a motorbike beside the fact that motorcycle deaths and serious injuries outstrip cycling ones by quite a margin (it's right there in the video you posted). So I guess safety is not your main priority. Moreover, if we consider overall health benefits you will live longer if you commute by bike, so if health is your priority you should absolute bike.

I'm a total layperson in this area but there used to be a concept of 'fine tuning' with language models (may still be). My understanding of those is that you could inject additional training data that overlays(?) the existing model in some way to help direct the output.

In this case it seems that you could fine-tune the generative image model with previous frames to provide that continuity. After all that's what we do when we read the panel, we instantly store the previous one in memory so that we can actually recognize the difference in the next panel.
You’re conflating truth and opinion. “Slavery is morally right” is an opinion (a shitty one), not a “truth”. Lying about objective truth is a much more egregious offense than pushing your shitty opinion, imo

> Why does he recommend people to avoid the language. These people need contributors which help them to improve their language. It is open source.

This is why the "critic" can also be interpreted (or misinterpreted) as another attack. It's one thing if this was a blog evaluating the claims of multiple programming languages, but it being a very specific and dedicated critic of V, looks strange.

To include it uses the term "we" a lot in the summary, as if it was a collaboration effort by a group of programmers directed at V. It is unknown who are the "we" being referred to.

"We’re able to create a null pointer (V reference) with no compiler errors or warnings."

"We weren’t able to shadow local variables."

If the evaluation was in the spirit of improving the language (as it is still alpha) or pointing out things that need to be addressed, then one would expect it to be presented as various issues or bugs on V's GitHub. There would not be any blindsiding or surprise, but an exchange between the evaluator(s) and V's developers and contributors.

Parts of the evaluation and summary are debatably subjective. The categories of purity, sum types, generics, speed, and compiling are among them. So getting direct feedback from the developers and contributors of V would have been much more fair and helpful.

Typically before one gets to the point of really understanding how to prove things a fair amount of brain washing occurs. For instance, few people know why the distributive property holds but they use it all the time. Most people are comfortable with the idea that a negative real number times a positive real number is a negative real number but they can’t prove it. In order to prove these basic facts one needs a fair amount of what is called mathematical maturity.

The most basic subject to understand mathematical proofs is Euclidean geometry. There you will learn the basics of proofs and what it means to prove something.

Let’s look at x/a = b/c. You want to show that this equation has the same exact solution set as xc = ab. In order to prove this rigorously you’ll need to prove things about associativity. You’ll also need to prove that a unit isn’t a zero divisor in the real numbers. What we see is that to prove seemingly simple statements requires some machinery and to understand the necessity of this machinery requires mathematical maturity.

But maybe you don’t want to rigorously prove the above. Maybe you just want to understand why it is plausible that this is true. For that, pick up a beginning algebra book and actually read what it says and try to understand it. This is hard to do on your own.

Here’s a plausible explanation for why x/a = b/c has the same solution set as xc=ab. Note that a and c must be nonzero because we can’t divide by zero (this requires proof!). We note that

(x/a) times a

Is the same thing as x times (1/a times a). This is due to associativity. A nonzero number times it’s reciprocal is 1. And 1 times anything is itself. So x/a times a simplifies to x.

So,starting with

x/a = b/c

I can multiply both sides by a. I can do this since a is invertible and multiplying by an invertible element preserves equality (requires proof!). So what I get, after simplifying, is

x = (b/c) times a

I can rearrange things (by associativity) to write this as

x = (ab)/c

Now multiply both sides by c to get (I skipped a step by multiplying and simplifying at the same time)

xc = ab.

I don't really think it's a conspiracy or ideology (lol). Teachers pay extremely poor in the vast majority of states in the US. I mean a scrum expert makes more than an elementary school teacher.

Wages absolutely have everything to do with it, why deny it and try to make it a political issue (lol)?

Few people do the job because it's an extremely bad deal. You will make more as a bartender than you will as a teacher, with the added bonus of a restaurant manager willing to kick out unruly guests whereas a school admin will likely side with the parents.

Typically the jobs that are most useful to society pay extremely bad (janitors, garbage collection, teachers, nursing assistants, dock workers, delivery people, etc). I'd checkout bullshit jobs manifesto if you haven't"

> I assure you almost all car drivers get annoyed by slow-moving[1] obstacles in their path, whether car, camel or bike.

Oh I’m so sorry. Clearly driver annoyance is far more important than avoiding cycle and pedestrian, death and injury. Please go right ahead, intimidate and mow those slow moving obstacles.

Prehaps driver should take some time to realise that cyclist don’t like holding up traffic either, they don’t do it for finishes, they do it because the lack to cycle infrastructure means they have no other options.

Don’t want bike slowing down car traffic, build dedicated infrastructure for them so they don’t have to share the same space as cars. Everybody wins, cyclists don’t need to worry about being hit by cars, car don’t have to get stuck behind bikes.

Usually, if a graph is rendered server side (dynamically generated);

the client sees/gets just the result (image file of generated graph).

There are plenty of domain specific languages that are dedicated to generating

graphs. aka once genrated, the web page run on client side just uses standard

html line to fetch the image. examples: R, python, perl. The languages can be

used to directly embedded the results in html/css or let the web server wrap the

results in html/css.
I built this as a small utility within a larger project I'm working on these days. (contact me if you're curious or want to support).

The WARC format is extremely simple and yet so powerful. Most importantly though, there are already pebibytes of already crawled archives.

This is a fairly straightforward mapping of a .warc file to a .sqlite database. The goal is to make such archives SQL-able even in smaller pieces.

The schema I've come up with it's tailored around my requirements, but comment if you can spot any obvious pitfalls.

PS: I do believe that at some point .sqlite will become the defacto standard for such initiatives. Sure, it's not text... but it's pretty close.
Just came to say that those of you in this thread who are spitting on teachers, are real pieces of shit!

It seems to me that if a company wants to get out of mining then the first thing they're going to do is to liquidate their hardware. And that hardware is going to get flipped right back on by somebody else. Supporting this view would be what happened after China banned mining. The hashrate collapsed about 50%, but then spiked back to higher than ever in a period of 3 or so months. So if we ever see a "real" decline in hash rate, it would probably take a very long form as hardware fails and isn't replaced/repaired.

As the hash rate gets more and more decentralized price tolerance approaches infinity. Some guy running a small number of ASICs at his house is going to have near zero price sensitivity.
That’s not correct - nuclear power plants only have efficiencies of about 33-37%, so 63 to 67% of the energy that nuclear reaction is producing is dumped into the atmosphere which wouldn’t have otherwise (obviously there would have otherwise still been some radioactive decay of the material in the ground if it wasn’t used as nuclear fuel, but nothing like refining it and bringing it to a critical mass in a reactor).

Meanwhile, 100% of the energy that a solar panel receives (and radiates some back as heat) would have hit the earth anyway.
How does ZipRecruiter get those numbers?

By contrast, the BLS [1] says the median pay is $60k, and the bottom 10% earns at most $45k.

This doesn't seem to square with "most teachers make less than $37k".

Perhaps the BLS data is skewed? I'm Canadian, so don't know how they collect it. But my intuition is that they are likely to have access to much better data than ZipRecruiter. The fact that ZipRecruiter thinks no teacher earns between $55k and $70k is also a little dubious.

Plus many get a summer long vacation every year, freeing them up to take a summer job or just rest. Not to mention all the holidays during the school year. It's a benefit that that should be factored in for comparison.
What kind of sightseeing do you mean? When stopped in a city, we left our bikes in the hotel so we could walk around. But when on the road, it’s a lot of leaning bikes against a building while you go in to get food or whatever. Sometimes, we’d have somebody stay with the bikes while the others went inside. Sometimes, we’d lock up and sometimes we’d get lazy and hope for the best. But I wasn’t riding in a high-theft area.

That by itself would be extremely interesting, but the article text is:

“What happens inside a magnetar is a matter of pure speculation. Physicists think that the surface of a magnetar is covered in a shell of heavy atomic nuclei and free electrons. Because of the intense gravity [em. added], these surfaces are incredibly smooth; the highest "mountains" will only be a couple of centimeters tall. But don't think of them as trivial. If you were to fall off one of those mountains, by the time you reached the bottom, you would already be traveling at half the speed of light”

Such a paragraph doesn’t give me confidence they did the math including magnetism, especially considering the extraordinary claim it would imply… that the magnetic field would have multiple orders of magnitude more strength than gravity. I think it doesn’t pass the sniff test, such immense downward force would instantly turn the neutron star into a black hole.

I used to disable font overrides altogether. Another failure mode of that mode is that the omnipresent Material Icons displays words (the font contains ligatures replacing words with icons) instead of icons.
>Unless you're someone who only had to work on a monolith deployed to a single box somewhere,

I think the point is that 90%+ of websites are fine with a few monoliths behind a load balancer. That set up can handle low thousands of requests per second in Rails/Django/etc. Maybe low 10 thousands with a more performant language.

And it's not just k8s. It's the whole microservice/SOA that comes with it. It ramps up the complexity of everything and is a constant time sink in my experience.
I did Oregon to Idaho and having to take even brief moments on freeways or riding on the shoulder with passing semi trucks was enough to convince me that cross country wasn’t for me. We really need to complete the cross country trail.

> Variables aren’t immutable in any significant way because you can trivially turn an immutable reference into a mutable one.

To be fair, they didn't claim that the values were immutable, only the variables. Isn't the example in the article basically the same as Java's final variables, i.e. immutable references to mutable values?

> No global variables [...] Evaluation: V does not prevent you from creating and mutating globally shared state in any meaningful way.

Although I agree with the evaluation, the claim of "no global variables" might still hold, assuming it refers to mutable global variables. The global constant holds an immutable reference to a mutable value, just like how in Java a singleton object (or a class with mutable static fields) can be used to simulate global variables.

> SVN doesn't work peer-to-peer or over email.

Why not? What is so different about people having their own subversion repositories over file protocol vs people having their git repositories?

Why would you not be able to send a subversion patch in an email?

As someone who uses git for 10 years, I understand it may not be as ergonomic as with git. But why not?

> The point was that Subversion alone is never enough if you want to collaborate.

Why not? Is git enough?
Ah, you think the social aspects confound the in/out group distinctions. But what other grouping would have been better? E.g. People from opposite sides of ethnic conflicts, members of bowling clubs vs non-members?
Why does Oregon have to fire 20% of the teachers? I know a lot of teachers quit due to covid stress, and I have interviewed some wanting to switch to IT. Maybe there's enough natural attrition or retirement they simply just don't need to hire.

Are schools overcrowded and teachers overworked? Here in Georgia they are and I'm not aware of many places that are. Maybe having a lower teacher/student ratio closer to normal can help with the issues that current students are seeing due to 1-2 years of remote learning.

Then also - how are we not sure that there would not be an uptick in population in 2022 and beyond to compensate for those who delayed kids due to covid uncertainty? Is Oregon going to then ramp up hiring, and have an oversupply of inexperienced teachers teaching kids?

At first glance, it seems like simply 1-2 years of lower birthrate, and thus we need to fire 20% of teachers, may be a knee jerk reaction.

I thought heat was a form of kinetic energy? Specifically, it is a measure of the kinetic energy of an object's particles, independent of the kinetic energy of the object as a whole. That not accurate?
In VGA text mode the VGA hardware is doing the character->texture lookup for you, so you're just sending at most a glyph index worth of data to the card per character.

With modern resolutions what they are, and 16-32 bpp color depths, combined with the unaccelerated dumb linear framebuffer you get with the console framebuffer drivers, it's quite slow relative to a classical VGA text mode.

Even if you still had the same number of lines and columns of text as a classical VGA text mode, just the higher dpi and bpp will still be a lot of bytes for the CPU to move around without any DMA or GPU to assist.

On top of that the VGA console driver in Linux used to exploit the hardware scrolling capabilities which basically just updated an offset register in the VGA instead of having to update the entire screen. IIRC you would lose your console scrollback history by switching virtual consoles because of this implementation. It was blazing fast but the VGA-resident contents were clobbered on VC switch.
In the UK it's common to use the postcode for pretty much everything, if you're delivering to 443 Manchester Road Bolton BL4 8RN, you aren't going to 443 Manchester Road Salford, M27 8TD.

Now OK in this particular case you're still screwed as they are literally next door, but normally you'd find it by putting in "M27 8TD" and you'd be set.

While UK postcodes can cover a large area, they usually don't.

My understanding of zip codes like 90210 is they aren't anywhere near as precise as M27 8TD, they're more like just the "M27" part.
43 and 50 lines were not high resolution modes, they were just short-character modes. They still use native VGA 720x400 resolution.

There were tools to program VGA card to higher resolution text mode (svgatextmode), and also s3fb supports higher resolution text mode in kernel.

To add on to this, I have a co-worker from a specific university who would not buy a car because it was a rival universities colour.

The person never competed in sports and was a comp sci major. It runs deep for at many schools.
