C but with the following changes:

- Guarantee 8-bit byte and twos complement

- No undefined behavior. All behavior is defined even if the ramifications of that behavior are not. Use after free? The data in the memory location is written-to or read-from, not omitted by compiler, and programmer is responsible for the second- and third-order effects thereof. Signed integer overflow? You get the assembly ADD instruction for your platform/data width and see what happens.

- Fixed width integers. int8_t == short short int. int16_t == short int. int32_t == int. int64_t == long int. int128_t == long long int.

- char is by default always unsigned.

- byte type similar to unsigned char but requires explicit cast.

- Anonymous functions well-supported.

- A method keyword inside a struct defines a function pointer to an anonymous function with the signature and definition that follows.

- New operator --> such that x-->y(...) is equivalent to y(x, ...) (perhaps with additional error checks)

- Arrays no longer degrade to pointers but to fat pointers with an aligned prefix sds-style. Argument syntax for an array/fat pointer is arg[..]

- char type used alone is deprecated

- string type is an array/fat pointer of type char[..]

- str* functions deprecated; now that unique identifiers can use more than the first six characters, use string* functions instead

- "C" locale defined as using UTF-8 normalized to NFC

- Conforming change: allowable main() signatures include int main(string argv[..])
Having a prompt that says "Do you want X to do this scary sounding thing? Or not, and have 0 impact on you?" is worst possible way to do any kind of informed choice.
Fair, but infrastructure is notoriously hard to build in the US.

The US disabled status works different here too.

You're only given disability privileges while in a car with your own handicap placard in the window (it's assigned to a person)

I actually like this a lot better than a plate because it's trivial to know if someone in the car actually needs a spot or not, and discourages use of the car by friends/family that don't qualify for using the (often limited) access to handicap spots.

Also allows you to drive any car and still get the same privileges.

I wish there were a lot more good biking infra. in the US. But the fact of the matter is that a lot of these "bikes can take over the future" are total pipe dreams if you just try to ignore the fact that they are bad modes of transportation for a lot of people a lot of the time.

Austin TX has made huge strides in the past few years making bikes a better option - a ton more bike lanes, more and more of those are protected, and related options like tons of electric scooters and MetroBike bike share. Still, the city is fundamentally laid out for car transportation, and so far this year it has hit 100F on 68 days.

Bikes may be a good addition, but the idea they can totally replace cars in a lot of American cities is ludicrous.

> All it might take to adjust to this is starting to do it…

Nailed it. For a long time, I was an avid user of public transport and I couldn't imagine myself on a bike (nor in a car.) Then life forced me onto the bike and it became the most natural thing in the world.

I also had a period where I couldn't imagine taking the car anywhere, but life has forced me to take a car more often now than in the past, and I'm starting to get used to it. So now I use the bike for shorter distances and the car for longer ones, generally.

That said, I haven't taken public transport in ages, and I can't picture myself doing it now. (Much to my wife's annoyance.)

Interesting. The thing that catches my attention most in the callout is 'print to canvas'. Rather than providing compute resources for the user to generate images, you could instead allow them to upload a pre-generated image and handle printing it to a canvas for them.

I think these institutions believe that more diversity ----> more inclusivity and less racism. How would a racist indian national deeply entrenched in caste culture help my company be less racist? How would an asian supremacist laotian increase the workplace's acceptance?

If you want a place of tolerance then it should be populated by tolerant people. Throwing together males and females with a random sample of skin colors and passports is not going to make your university a more inclusive place by default.
The USA PATRIOT Act requires every financial institution and money service business have an AML department.

We are already living the surveillance state.
I wouldn't bike in Austin regardless based on the infrastructure, but a lot of people bike here in NYC in the winter. People do the same in Berlin and many other cold cities.

Whatever the two of you are comfortable with? I'm not here to tell you how to live.

I disagree. I'm not trying to impose anything, except some bike lanes in urban cores at the expense of a little on street parking. I grew up on a farm and have live in a few different kinds of places in the US and I get it people have different lifestyle preferences. I'm not trying to make anyone bike if they don't want to, I'm in support of making it easier in already dense places.

You do you my guy, I'm not trying to tell you otherwise.

I think people are confusing corporations vs people.

People want diversity and care about diversity, who optionally wants to exclude someone that has merit to participate in the work/activity. Of course bigots exist, but largely people try to respect people.

Corporations, care as much as it is profitable that is the purpose of the organization is to generate wealth for stakeholders.

The issue in my opinion is how subjective 'merit' is, where studies show two resumes with equal qualifications a name implying a race or gender alone is enough to change the results of which resume was chosen subconsciously.

People see this problem as how do you measure someone without bias? How do you measure the cultural impact one can bring? How do you measure <something we suck a measuring currently>

Corporations see this problem as, how do we stay diverse enough to not look evil? How do we make measure our diversity to prove that? THEN they approach the people's point of view on the issue, because above everything is shareholders earnings and therefore the optics. It's not even intentional to a degree, stop gap solutions to make corporation happy and people tolerant of the corporation

Calling it Orwellian is crazy though, it's just capitalism and governments trying to find a way to keep it fair for non-capital owners.
> Personally I'd like to see SetField.jl or Accessors.jl in Base. I'd also like to see improvements in the ergonomics of using immutable structs. In Julia, users should want to use immutable structs all the time, and ONLY if they need reference semantics they should want to reach for mutable structs. I think the naming and the sematics here is REALLLYY confusing when trying to get a team to write performant code. I can't tell you how many times I've had this kind of conversation with various members in my team.

I agree that one of these should be standardized to be a Base functionality. But that won't need a v2.0 for that to happen: it can happen in a v1.x.

> it would be nice to have a bigger focus on teaching how to write performant Julia code. Currently, most if not all the material is geared toward someone who already knows how to write performance code (in C++ for example) and showing them the "Julian" way to do it.

The issue is that many of these tricks are actively being addressed, for example with escape analysis to reduce allocations. So what really needs to be taught is how to profile and understand what the code is doing, and how to effect it to do what one wants for performance. That then increases the barrier to entry. I think we shouldn't be teaching people "how to write performant Julia code" much more than is already out there though: since most of the tricks are really just workarounds for missing optimizations, those compiler optimizations should just get added (and there's some work showing it is possible).
A lot of people do, though.

And even with more traditional art, a lot of people trace something and claim they made it themselves.

However, I do think it's art. Coming up with an idea and then a prompt to express that idea, and then curating the results... That's artistry. It's not traditional, of course.

And with img2img and in-painting, there's a lot more to creating a really good work than just a prompt and curation.

I have no problem calling this art. I'm still struggling with the ethics, though. I'm not sure how I really feel about it yet.
Somehow we can imagine a world with low-pressure hyperloops and self-driving electric car swarms, but our creativity with bikes ends with 2 wheels and a rod ? Bikes are about space and ease first. At its very core, a bike is a small & slow people mover on wheels. That's it.

Disabled -> Electric wheelchairs are basically bike already [1]

Have things -> Delivery bikes [2]

Old people -> Yep, the ones that absolutely should not be driving? Old people use electrified bikes just fine in walmarts around the country. Same applies for obese people. [3]

Electric bikes of different shapes and sizes are completely redefining the usability of a bike. Most importantly, bikes are the last piece of a public transportation puzzle. They solve many of the last mile problems and force urban planning to be dense and walkable. This provides many additional benefits for accessibility. Walkable/ transit-based areas allow vision impaired people to independent. Bikes lead to many more smooth ramps that naturally accommodate movement impaired folks on wheels.

> Society is not a blank slate, and we don't get to start over from scratch

Given that America literally destroyed cities and moved mountains to make the car-centric cities that we have today, your statement is demonstrably untrue. Le Corbusier's Paris almost happened and

America's biggest problems today are aging & crumbling infrastructure (owing to unsustainable building [4]) and low supply of housing. The nation is overdue for new economically-sustainable infrastructure and needs more space for housing. Guess what the most natural solution is ? -> Densification. (infrastructure costs shared over more people, allows for more housing when space is at a premium) Biking comes out as a natural side-effect of dense spaces.

It is also a little ironic that you name lack of accessibility, safety & obesity as big problems, without realizing how cars have been at the center of facilitating that very problem.

> aren't going to rebuild our cities around bikes

No one is asking for this straw man. The goal is to integrate into the existing fabric of cities. Building bike infrastructure has shown to reduce traffic and make it easier for those who NEED cars to continue using them. Bike infrastructure is the cheapest of all major forms of transportation infrastructure.

The fact that cities as dense as NYC have pathetic biking infrastructure is a testament to just how far behind America is on accommodating humans within its cities. We aren't talking about rebuilding Phoenix. This is about making biking a viable option for the densest of American cities.

15A vs 20A is a factor of the gauge of the wires as well. You can’t just swap the breaker for a bigger one. You’ll get heat and depending where that could burn the house down.

I have a relative whose house burnt down due to stapled wiring in the attic. Thermal cycling eventually created a short. When your attic catches on fire the smoke alarms go off in time to save the people, but the moment the ceiling starts to cave in the entire house is involved and you’re mostly trying to keep the neighboring houses from burning.

> the futures market should never determine if a factory is operating

But what about washing machine futures?

Or more realistically, how much is shutting down the factory going to cost the washing machine manufacturer in terms of employee compensation, lost employees (more hiring and training), washing machine brand losses in the market, failure to deliver on existing contracts, and similar? They can't claim force majeure when they shut down the factory merely because they see a way to make slightly more profit than normal.

> most Japanese people drive cars

Citation needed.

People who drive cars usually have a need for them. Cargo hauling for example.

> Two train stations in the entire city.

Probably wasn't a large city. I've been to some really small cities that had two train stations. You could walk between stations.

> A car or two in every driveway

For the most part, Japan doesn't have driveways. Even in less populated centers, they might have a parking space, or a garage, but not a driveway. It's a waste of space. Even street parking is limited. Some people may have two cars for whatever reason but I doubt that is the norm.

I'm wonder what region you were at that saw this many cars.

Interestingly, the number of cars in Japan is roughly the same as the number of bikes in circulation.

I've read a little bit about prompt engineering. The author said the stuff he needed to learn to be good at using stable diffusion, is about art history - knowing many art styles and their parts.

So basically, you read over a book(with amazing art) over, know your terms(or maybe know how to use a neat visual dictionary), and now you can paint in many art styles.

Of course there will be some more learning while playing with stable diffusion and getting a feel how to talk to it.

But it's very far from the old skill of neing an artist, not much knowledge will transfer.

Imho his latest book isn't the best starting point. He justifies his basic thesis more in earlier books, but in the latest he just reviews it and moves on to new material. The argument is not just a reaction to Trump; he lays it out first in The Accidental Superpower, published in 2014. (This book is fascinating in its own right, covering a broad sweep of history starting from ancient Egypt.)

Zeihan's predictions don't extend much past the next decade. Governments can enact policies to encourage childbearing but it will still take 20 years to make a 20-year-old. Immigration is another matter of course, but for many countries, cultural issues make that difficult. The US does a pretty good job of assimilating immigrants and giving them a fairly equal place in society. Many other countries do not, and that makes them less attractive to immigrants.

Internationally, the US has definitely stepped up more this year. But during and shortly after the Cold War, the US fought serious wars to defend the borders of other countries, maintaining our credibility as global security guarantor. I don't think we're near so dedicated to that these days. We'll sanction, and share weapons and intel, but that's relatively cheap.
I lived in minnesota, five mile commute. Cold is very very doable. Ice does suck, but that's more of a tire issue. Cold and snow? Eh, bundle up and biking in winter is actually kind of fun. The cold really isn't any different than getting into a cold car in winter. The car warms up when you drive it, you warm up when you ride a bike.

Rain really sucks though. I don't have a good solution for rain.

What is the best for bike commuting is the lack of aggravation from driving, and knowing that basically no matter what you'll get from X to Y in a known amount of time. There's no traffic jams in bikes, at least not in the US.

Oh, aside from security risk, the ability to basically ride directly to where you're going and park RIGHT THERE is the #2 best thing about biking places (#1 being the reduced stress).

E-bikes should be even more amazing. I was a triathlete so I was a fit biker and wind/hills didn't bother me, but e-bikes eliminate that for the whole population.

What sucks:

- securing bikes, they are simply far too easy to steal. I guess in europe and big US cities there are real problems with this: tracker chips don't work, U-locks get shattered with liquid nitrogen, etc. What's nice about e-bikes is that you can get a heavier bike with a bit more security, but still, easy to drive up with van, shatter lock, take bike.

- rain, already mentioned

- flats are still far too common

- bikes aren't really that much of a money saver if you already have a car. They help with stress, fun, exercise, but between bike tuneups and flat tires and other stuff, they aren't really that cheap. Especially once you get into panniers and racks and that type of thing.

- drivers and danger in general. Bikes aren't a safe mode of transportation in the US unless you have good dedicated bike paths (Minneapolis is really really amazing for this, I never appreciated it until I moved somewhere else).

If anyone's interested in learning more about human intelligence I'd highly recommend the bell curve by Richard Herrnstein and Charles Murray.

With mitigation infrastructure you either make it impossible for the bad thing to happen, or you greatly reduce their impact. Infrastructure doesn't have to rely on humans not screwing up, if anything it expects it.
