It seems that the problem is that the Onewheel is a fundamentally flawed design that should perhaps not even be legal to sell.

Basically the issue is that the only control available is turning the wheel, but an unstable scooter actually needs two controls: one to balance the board and one to control the speed.

Having a single control means that they are tied and thus that, discounting air resistance, if the user continuously leans forward, then the board has to continuously accelerate up to arbitrary speeds since turning the wheel to balance also results in acceleration.

Furthermore, it seems that they don't even have a motor powerful enough to always be able to balance the user along with air resistance, so if the rider continuously leans forward eventually the motor is no longer powerful enough, the board loses balance and the rider probably falls down and dies.

Not sure how they could even think of selling a design like that or how they are surviving the lawsuits.

The simplest fix seems to be using four wheels instead of one, which also removes the need of active balancing and is a normal proper design. If "leaning to accelerate" is desired instead of a more normal handle with a throttle control, then it should be achievable by adding suspension springs and detecting their extension.

Not sure if it's possible to have a proper design with one wheel; a thing that comes to mind is having a sort of "landing gear" that can come down and make the board stable on demand. An alternative could perhaps be an internal reaction flywheel, but not sure if that works and is feasible.
No, formal verification knows nothing about the hardware, which is required for the system to function correctly. This is "not even wrong"
This would be really useful for the homeless. Nice job!
seems like -Werror isn’t the problem as much as not having a codified/reproducible build toolchain is.

there’s so many ways to skin that cat.
Not sure that is true. Claiming the overall use of fossil fuels was net negative for humans needs some strong citations, I'd say. Would it be better if the industrial revolution never happened?
The trouble is that reduced forest leads to reduced rain, and irrigation often reduces ground water which is replenished even slower than before. It accelerates water losses a lot faster than anyone expected.
Physics is philosophy

You might not like it and prefer to focus only on the models and the math

But fundamentally, all of our knowledge, including physics only really exists in our consciousness

You might also not find it useful, but that’s your own personal subjective opinion, not a universal objective truth (same goes for anything I’ve said)
While it is impressive that an ai can generate all this, the code is anything but significant. Using triggers for history is one sure way to bring a scalable system down fast and one of the first lessons a junior will learn.
So, how have linux distros worked for the past 25 years? Many independent projects write commonly used libraries and/or tools in C, and then each distro takes those and builds them with a slightly (or significantly!) different toolchain ... obviously it has worked pretty well. The pressure to work for all reasonable toolchains is good for software quality, instead of depending on quirks of a very particular toolchain to mask some bugs or nonstandard behavior dependency.
Yes! I love it. Have you given it a shot?
> but hobbyists are the core of open source.

Is this actually true?

Is it true when looking only at core projects like the Linux kernel?
After reading the article... It had lots of charging... wonder how dangerous it is to charge a battery that size and how well the battery holds up over time.
That 2012 article is obsolete, as GDP and energy usage has now been decoupled in advanced economies (e.g. https://ourworldindata.org/energy-gdp-decoupling) as nowadays improved consumer goods tend to require less physical resources than the earlier devices they replace, and various physical services get replaced with software.

I feel like you're replying to the title and not the article. The article starts with a huge disclaimer saying that the author has no tolerance for warnings getting merged in to their projects, but they have the warnings check in the CI pipeline. Doing that would totally prevent the kind of lax never-fixed errors you're talking about, while allowing more flexibility while the PR is still in progress.
-Werror is the least of your problems if you are compiling older C code in a newer GCC-based toolchain. Seemingly as a matter of policy, GCC has started playing very fast and loose with undefined behavior, treating it as a license to emit any code it wants or none at all, regardless of what most people would say the programmer "obviously" intended.

There's a good chance your old code will compile if you don't use -Werror, or even if you do, but whether it runs the way it used to is a different question entirely.
I have 4x16GB of 3200MT/s DDR4, but can't get the clock above 1055 MHz (which would be 2110MT/s). There's a chance that the cheaper/consumer grade G.skill memory isn't compatible with those speeds, but it hasn't been a blocker lately.

I built the machine to be more basic for now but be able to upgrade over time into a powerful computer to run electromagnetic simulations.
First preference is to ask my network of people I've enjoyed working with before.

Second is to find growing companies I find interesting and contact then directly.
Doesn't uh your build chain introduce a build chain dependency? Like each compiler compiles differently anyway, so if you care enough about warnings to have a zero warning policy, then don't you also care about it on every platform/build chain? I don't get this.

Interview question (from the job seeker): can I see your application logs?

I once worked at a place that could flood the error/warning logs in two seconds (Ruby). Unless it was causing an issue, all warnings etc were ignored.

I was just going through this today. Surely there has to be a better way of managing python libraries with CUDA kernels than what we currently have.

The worst part is, after spending a couple hours building 5 separate libraries from scratch and making sure all the versions match, there’s no easy way to reproduce your environment on another machine.
In the immediate term it would be the same as using a single mode except with higher proportional rewards. However depending on the architecture that is the only motivation needed and depriving others of rewards; in the long term this could result in centralization of routing nodes (by control) and finally censorship.

It also seems unclear how consistent routing work is determined; how does the entire network agree on the minimal routing when there are many routes with the same 'depth' ; it also seems to conflict with minimal amount of routing work is required by the difficulty.

The goal of Sybil mitigation is to prevent any actor from gaining any undue control and this doesn't sufficiently show that to me.

Tom and Jerry were invented in the 1940s, but eg the 1960s episodes used the same format. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tom_and_Jerry for a timeline.

See https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/MimeAndMusicOnly... for many more examples, though far from exhaustive.

Though the series has since picked up dialog, translation has worked well enough and the series remains mostly silent.

Hah, imagine having a standard open OS for IoT gadgets, which seems to be a part of this project.. then we wouldn't be in the current dystopia..
That’s a big if. The vast majority of animals raised in North America aren’t grazed sustainably, especially if you exclude Canada. It’s kind of like saying you can drive without emissions when 99% of the world is driving gas cars, only in this case, there’s no trend towards grazing sustainably and no reason to believe it will start happening (whereas vehicles likely will continue trending towards electric motors). I just can’t think of a better analogy at the moment, but hopefully it makes sense. Proper grazing seems unlikely to ever be adopted on a broad scale, so it’s unlikely to matter that it can be done better.

If your tool moves comments forward to newer changesets (ideally with some sort of code ensuring it's in the right place) then that's done automatically for you.

I think I would agree that you can probably have a much worse incident on bike vs a One Wheel. A bike allows you reach effectively unlimited speeds (provided you can find a big enough hill and tail wind), which brings with it uncapped risk.

But I think for most average bike riders, people who just ride a bike to get from A to B, rather than for sport (more speed always means more risk, at certain point I agree a bike becomes inherently more dangerous just due to the higher speeds). The odds of them having a bad incident on a bike is much lower than on a One Wheel. It’s quite hard to have an incident on a bike that results in a guaranteed head injury (please wear a helmet, it only takes a single bad head injury to ruin your life), whereas it’s quite hard to avoid a head injury from a One Wheel incident. Most bike related incidents (where someone isn’t just riding into a stationary object, in which case I don’t think the mode of transport matters much) result in the bikes wheel slipping out from under you, the consequence is moderately slowed, but quite painful fall sideways. The time it takes the bike to fall out from under you gives you a bit of time to prepare for the impact. All this assumes reasonable low speeds (not much faster than a run), due to non-sport based riding.

On a One Wheel or similar, dismounts tend to result in full bodied face plants. If you’re not able to come of the device, and catch yourself by running, then you tend to go face first to the pavement, and there’s nothing slowing you down. No bike frame or similar sliding across the ground and buying you time, just a whole load of empty air between your head and the ground.
Not currently but it's on my mind and I'm using utf8 for text with utf-32 for rendering. Good links for screen reader info are welcome!

Custom drawn, and yep it's a pain! Actually emoji's seem the hardest (e.g. smiley face + skin tone).

The windowing library I'm building upon uses the OS'es input method editors (IME). For example MacOS'es functions for composing letters like `é` already works. Hopefully Asian input methods will work via the OS'es IME. Luckily I know a bit of (modern) Hebrew, so I'll can add basic RTL languages soon.
Medical advances too - drugs and procedures that didn't exist 10 or 20 years ago are commonplace along elderly populations now, a trend that will no doubt continue. Attitudes and regulations around euthanasia will inevitably change too.

I might not be so sure of that if I lived in a country like South Korea or Italy, mind you.

For what it’s worth, there are other studies indicating this as well. There isn’t good data suggesting we can graze animals on a large scale and increase biomass in a meaningful way compared to other options. The trouble is that other options inevitably include “stop eating meat”, and people don’t like to hear this.
It's not (just) the actual carrying of the children that people are rejecting. It's parenthood. It's the idea of committing to someone unconditionally for at least 18 years, but really for their whole life.

Artificial wombs don't change this. Embryo selection doesn't change this. Vaccines will increase the chances that whatever children are produced survive to adulthood, but childhood mortality from vaccine-preventable illness isn't high enough to compensate for a worldview that doesn't want to have children.

If you believe you're part of something much more significant than yourself, dedicating your life to moving it forward by producing other people who will outlive you and do the same makes sense. But if you're all that matters? If your scorecard is measures in dollars or followers or something else that dies with you? You don't have kids even if you do have access to artificial wombs.

In open source you don't get that option. Where you have a known set of build tools it is easy to use -werror, and if a new toolchain is added someone gets assigned to clean it up.
Depends. For mixing it barely matters. For performance, if you're playing a MIDI controller live, then perhaps not (though browser latency is not that bad these days). But if you're working with clips & samples, it isn't likely to matter much.
I trust and respect the people I work with. I also prefer to have code reviews, even (especially) of my own code. Code reviews can point out code that

- Doesn't consider an edge case (NPEs being the most common)

- Doesn't match up well with the "standard" way we do things (and, all things being equal, using the same approach in every place improves maintainability)

- Has a simpler approach

- Doesn't have a comment where it's not clear _why_ the code is doing something (that the author of the code sees as obvious, because they wrote it)

- Has misleading method/class/field names

These are all things that I've seen from both myself and others on my team. Having one other team member take a look at my code before it goes to QA can save a lot of time later.
> We can invert this and ask, if physicality is not ideal, then how do we come to know it?

Why would we ask that? Not ideal for what? It just is.

> The third option is that physics is unable to interrogate itself.

This is likely true. We are the product of physics and we can only delve so deep. It might be that we cannot see to the most fundamental level(s). That's not a third option though, that's just the state of any scientific investigation at any point of time. However, given all we have learnt so far, what we don't need to do is invent new gods for the levels we cannot see or the things we cannot yet understand. I mean, people will, evidently, but that's all just wishful thinking.

Meanwhile there is slow progress to piece together how the brain works. My opinion is that we will figure it out but the answers about consciousness will be unsatisfactory. Just like right now, given the current understanding of physical processes even taking into account quantum systems having probabilistic outcomes, we have no free will. It's an answer, I find it a compelling one, but most folks don't like that answer.

That’s fair, I’m responding more to the general aversion to using -Werror at all than the specific case of the OP. If I were writing open source software expected to be used by a wide variety of compilers and platforms I’d probably also not want to make -Werror the default.
