> If people respond to a combination of law and roadway design (perhaps leaning more heavily on the latter), and we want behavior in line with law, what should we do? Ease the law or change the roadway design?

Or change the context in some third way (e.g., enforcement)? The thing with roadway design is that the roadway designs which enourage higher speed are generally the same ones that are safer at any given speed, so changing the design to reduce the incentive for high speed may not improve safety as much as the reduced "natural speed" would seem to suggest -- and may retain the high delta beteween fast drivers and slow drivers that you note is a major factor in accidents, just reducing the median.

But what if through technology we could get enforcement of existing limits to a place where the probability of penalty for violations was higher (even if the penalty range had a lower bottom end)? One problem with law as an factor in behavior right now is that the probability of any given violation (or even a pattern of consistent violations) being punished is so low that the law serves more as a very weak social signal and the source of an inverted lottery of punishment than as a rational utility factor in regular behavior calculations.

With more consistent enforcement, we may be able to reduce the delta between high and low speed drivers (as the high speed end is usually significantly above the legal limit) without changing the law (at least, the speed limits in the law) or the road design significantly.
I found it quite weak in the opening, well, just about as bad as any chess engine without an opening book to go on. 1. e2e4 g8f6 2. e4e5 f6d5 3. c2c4 d5f4 (weird), 4. d2d4 f4d6. This is probably some opening like the Snake, or the Vulture or something. but beat it quite solidly opening up the f-file and hitting f7 with the queen and rook.

Second game I decided to avoid opening theory and head into a King's Indian Attack. Black's opening moves were sensible, knight and bishops to the right squares, pawns on e5 and d5, but it really wasn't taking my queenside pawn expansion seriously enough, giving up a knight for a pawn. But it's quite resourceful, it's managed to win an exchange, although it's in a desperate position. Currently it's hanging on this position.. oh. No, it's finally crashed. This is the position it died on:

r . . . r . . .
. . . . . . k p
. b q . . . p .
. R p . p . . .
P . Q p P . . .
B N . P . . P B
. . . . . P . P
. . . . . . K .

White's last move: f5h3. Took about 10 minutes and made the move h8g7, and then crashed with

Software Updates – Do's and Don'ts for software creators
I don't see how "developing nation" implies that these people have inferior qualities. It implies that these people are progressing faster than "developed nations", though they are for the moment still poor. You could call it classism, because it recognizes a wealth disparity, but I don't see how you can distribute resources more "fairly" without recognizing wealth disparity.
I really don't know what you mean. This is an area I have studied, both formally and informally. How it is framed matters. The history of what went wrong with the American welfare system is deeply rooted in the fact that it was designed to "help poor, single moms" in an era when having a child out of wedlock was scandalous and just not done. It changed the social contract to frame it that way and made it far more acceptable to have children out of wedlock. That framing occurred at a time when most poor, single moms were widows -- ie "the deserving poor" -- not women who had given birth outside of wedlock.

It was done in an unthinking manner and we are still living with the consequences decades later.
Another fish story:

There used to be a couple of koi carps in a pond at my mother's place, one red, one white.

One day, the water pump stopped working, and, as the oxygen level in the water was dropping the fishes started to suffocate.

When we realized the problem, the white one was already almost belly up. Barely breathing, and unable to move. The red one could still swim, but he was tilting.

We brought out the water hose to agitate the water and oxygenate it. It created a current that sent the white fish drifting down and away in while the red one could stay afloat in the safe zone. We tried to alternate the spraying between both, but the white one kept drifting away from the fresh water.

To our surprise the red koi started to bring back the white one from the bottom to the surface. He the kept lifting the other in a corner. He probably saved his pal's life.

Both recovered, even though the white one kept a 15 degrees tilt for the rest of his life.

Both the wireless range and speeds are completely acceptable (run it at 100% power, no manual tweaks to the antenna power) even on the floor above, certainly better than the "free" N WiFi router that the ISP gave us (Actiontec Q1000) which is just utterly terrible.
"raising speed limits does not raise driving speeds on roads"

I suspect that's a temporary effect. The speed people are comfortable at is mostly a learned phenomenon. The more they drive fast safely, the more comfortable they feel.

Remember when you first started riding your bicycle? 10 mph was super fast and was super scary. And it is; that's faster than the speeds that the human body was evolved to support.

Risk compensating behaviour[0] is a real thing; the question is whether that effect is significant in any particular case. Making the roads look less safe will make people drive more carefully, but it has to be shown whether this will cause a net decrease of actual crash rate.

I'm a little confused. Which category in that report represents figuring out what drugs will be needed in the future and whether they're worth developing?

I don't think marketing is either fraudulent nor worthless, but it is a tragedy of the commons these days. People have more than enough tools at their disposal to discover the products they want and need to buy on their own. Marketing by an individual entity is useful and necessary, but the whole field is just pointlessly rearranging the chairs. We'd all be better off if we could somehow all agree to quit it, at least the fluffy parts that convey only emotion and not information.

I've caught a lot of flak for saying this, but I'm convinced that all ORMs are ultimately tech debt. Sure, they get you up and running quickly, but once you're there, you'll invariably find yourself wanting to do things that require you to work against and around your ORM to accomplish. By pretty much any definition I've ever encountered, that's "tech debt"

Yes. I have switched back and forth between them before. The main advantage of Cassandra for me is that it is multi master. This makes it perfect for the cloud where you can trivially scale horizontally whether in the same AZ, across multiple or even across entire DCs with just a config change. It really is a dream to deploy and manage.

MongoDB is a document store and so if you data is structured that way it is unrivalled. But if isn't (more than likely) than it will suffer greatly as you start to increase the number of joins.
IIRC, Sweden has had a "zero pedestrian deaths" goal for the last 10 years or so. Part of that policy was road design, but another pillar was the reduction of urban speed limits to 18 mph, and vigorous enforcement of such.

The number of accidents did not drop substantially, but what did drop was the severity of the accidents. An accident that would have been a fatality in the past is now a broken leg or two.
Looking for a Job? How's Your COBOL?
Thanks, one of the problems of blogging alone is the lack of cognitive diversity that you can enjoy through conversation as a group!

I agree that a "When" requesting an HTML colour code followed by a "Then" also referring to an "HTML colour code" is rather tautological.

Given the name of a colour
When I request the HTML colour code
Then I should receive the distinct 6-character hexademical string representing the colour provided

That seems closer to the correct behavioural description than what's on the blog.

I don't intend to suggest that examples should not be discussed or included, but that sticking rigidly to the syntax expected by Cucumber results in scenarios that aren't as accessible as they could be.

Prior to automated testing, in situations such as this where examples would aid understanding, I would encourage documenting a high level scenario as above, and then subsequent scenarios describing potential examples, before I'd suggest moving to the scenario outline syntax.

For example:

Scenario: Retrieving a colour code by name
Given the name of a colour
When I request the HTML colour code
Then I should receive the distinct 6-character hexademical string representing the colour provided

Scenario: Retrieving a colour code for 'Red'
Given the colour name 'Red'
When I request the HTML colour code
Then I should receive 'FF0000'

What do you reckon?
Parrot ARDrone 2 is cheap and cheerful, and hackable - it has a ROS driver is is well used in research labs. It's so lightweight that it's very safe and survives crashes. Streams live video to your mobile device.

3 or 4 times the price is the DJI Phantom 2 range, which are great, easy to use. Carries a GoPro or its own camera. A little more dangerous but still not too scary. Not so hackable, as far as I know.

It's very easy to build your own, very powerful machine from parts using e.g the Pixhawk controller. Also you can buy ready to fly machines from e.g. 3D Robotics. Great fun. As dangerous as you want to make it. Take care!

> Let's not forget that the speed limit was never about safety. It was about saving fuel in an oil crisis.

The establishment of the national maximum highway speed limit of 55mph was about that. Speed limits more generally (which predate that by quite a long time), not so much.

EDIT: As it has been accurately pointed out that the above response is US-centric, more generally: the establishment of reduced speed limits in many jurisdictions in the early-mid 1970s (including the US national maximum highway speed limit of 55mph) were due to the concerns of saving fuel in an oil crisis, but that is not true of speed limits more generally (either before -- stretching back to more than a century before automobiles existed -- or after the 1970s.)
FWIW, I've found use for Yo when making recipes with IFTTT. It replaced email as a trigger.

That doesn't make it "stupid genius", but for any given tool, someone will find a use for it.
Because Facebook built a whole new Messages feature that was supposed to be email and internal messaging. Because Cassandra is designed to be eventually consistent it really wasn't suited for this use case.
This is fun research, but it's basically just a microphone (which works by turning these vibrations into magnetic pulses that generate electric pulses) using a much, much more complex signal processing mechanism (observing photons bouncing off the vibrating surface, translating the digital representation of those photons into a digital simulation of the electric pulses a microphone would generate, and turning that digital simulation into real electric pulses).
Nice article.

I bet fewer men than women get asked "are you here with your boyfriend?" at hackathons, or hear statements like "oh wow, you code??"
Fine, throw out the word 'asshole' and replace it with 'unlikeable'. The point is that men can be unlikable and still command respect. Women are much less likely to be met with that reaction.
I, too own a MINI Cooper wave.

Interesting. It looks like its actually parsing the Java to produce the results as a search for "bing" shows the number of imports and complexity of the code. This would be similar to sourcegraph.

I wonder what parser is used and if it can be applied to other languages.

>We need to start emphasizing the success of women CEOs

Why? I don't want to emphasize anything. Can these people leave us alone and stop telling everyone what they should be doing. Who do they think they are, I am so sick of this.
then why didn't you just say you're a CEO?

you are the problem.
Sorry, could you describe what the colors and pieces are? I'm unclear as to what you are illustrating.

Edit: Thanks for the clarifications. lowercase = one color, uppercase = other color. K = king, R = rook

The question is... does the rook R still provide attack/check even though it is pinned by rook r to King K?

The answer is yes.

Correct. Ripple adds another layer on top of the traditional banking system.

Well, Bitcoin can be credit as well, and can be interchanged with national currencies via Ripple. The two protocols complement each other, they don't compete. Just as the USD does not compete with Ripple (because it is a currency that can be traded on Ripple, just as bitcoins).

'Promiscuity' is a term that is less loaded. Anyway, your observation is in the lede in the article, so it's likely the combination of language and lack of new information that sunk your earlier comment.
perhaps nature/evolution/biology has a lot to do with this, not just societal views.

people see an aggressive male and say "oh, that's just his nature" and the opposite for agressive women, "oh, what's wrong with her?". the converse is equally true: men who are overly submissive are considered to have "issues". testosterone makes males more aggressive as a gender, they are designed to fight and compete. i think blaming everything on cultural norms and sexism doesnt give enough credence to this.

i've always wondered why no one from "everyone is 100% equal" camp takes issue with male/female segregation in sports/olympics.
(caveat: I'm a developer but I haven't used ORMs very much.)

Don't most ORMs let you write raw SQL when you really want to? In that case, you could use the ORM for simple things, but revert to raw SQL when you need more power. Or is that not the case?
Read the article and you'll find that this is an interesting observation that has current relevance (the Ebola outbreak).
Sure. Maybe Gecko and WebKit are enough. At least then the foundations are all open and freely accessible to the world.

Even if there weren't fluidity, we can still compound nouns all we want in English:

`tax`, `income tax`, `income tax return`, `income tax return form`, `income tax return form processor`, `income tax return form processor office`, etc.

Not that I think that's what's going on in the article's `woman CEO` examples.
Indeed. However, it's easy to miss the "random-walk" aspect of pagerank if one simply think of it as a recursive relation between inbound and outbound links.

Once you think "random-walk" you can build a whole class of "intentional surfer" model which model surfers seeking particular information.
You didn't. Pointing out common usage isn't dictating a Platonic language ideal.
I have a laravel project for which all of my models are raw SQL statements for this reason. At the very least, it makes the code more portable, and it makes it easier to reason about the statements when you can actually see them.
I think "bitches" can command respect.

I worked for one who most certainly did.
ORM like anything aren't all in the same league. I didn't like them blindly, but SQLAlchemy works very well (because its layered architecture).
Per mile is much better, but also not that good. There are a lot of variables here. How much of driving is at freeway speeds versus how much at lower speeds (where even worse accidents are less likely to cause fatalities)? How good is trauma care in that country (which can turn what would be a fatality in country A into an injury in country B -- and note that part of how "good" trauma care is has to do with how remote from a hospital traffic accidents are)? How modern are vehicles in that country, and what percentage are what kinds of vehicles (air-bag equipped modern cars are much safer than older cars, which are in turn much safer than motorcycles)? What kind of intersection traffic control is there? How good are the roads?
