I have the opposite experience. With the HP docking station, we were unable to drive a 4k monitor using windows. On linux thisnjust worked.

Going outside for lunch is a great idea.

Here's an article from 2002 talking about how we could just have data-based sizing:

I am cleaning up some pointer arithmetic stuff for multi-dimensional C style arrays. I managed to replace the code with a std::inner_product minus a std::accumulate (to accomodate for the fact that the upper array bound is exclusive, ie one-past-the-end).

What is the bioinformatic application? Could you point me towards some programs that use this?

Because they have so many car chases on the news. So people get the idea that car chases are a solution that people use to get out of trouble.

Seems like a vicious cycle, fed by the terrible news media.

That is really more of a switch from CUDA to HIP; for most HPC applications, cpu speed isn't the question any more.

I write code and also cycle. I built a bike shed in my back yard. It has become quite difficult to search for advice on how to actually build a bike shed.

Or just not have pardons at all.

For those complaining about the news sites being sensationalist, why not just read Reuters? You will miss out on local news, but it's pretty reliable for international news.

Speed enforcement has been extensively studied, and there are a lot of publicly available articles on the subject. The results are basically universally in favour of speed enforcement reducing motor vehicle collisions, reducing injury and cost.

I am not familiar with poaching issues in the USA, but in Canada, one isn't allowed to hunt too close to roads; doing otherwise is poaching. It seems reasonable to not discharge firearms next to public roads, so stopping poachers who do so is a great use case here.

Differences in speed matter, but so does absolute speed.

"Inappropriate speed is responsible for 20 to 30% of all fatal road crashes." from https://www.itf-oecd.org/speed-crash-risk

Also, due to kinetic energy increasing with speed, collisions are worse, in addition to being more likely.

Here is the support list:

In terms of sheer game-theoretic value, sure, perfect knowledge will reduce value gaps. However, the thing with having your house insured is that you will have somewhere to live if you have a house fire. The +/- for the insurer might be close, but going from having a house to having no house is a bigger deal than going from one house to a twice-as-expensive house.

It seems that one or two European countries ban fluoridation; however few practice it. But "Europe banned this" is simply false. Moreover, it seems that there is fluoridation of salt instead (eg in Switzerland).

Does it work with android auto?

Thankfully, I have been able to keept the car in the garage and ride at -30. Passed a lot of cars needing a boost though.

I used the 3m filter mask biking in the wildfire smoke a while ago. There is a blowout hole, which makes it much easier to get stale air out. The sport-specifc one from MEC made it hard to get fresh air when biking up hill.

I used the air warmer mask during this last cold snap. It made it so much more comfortable! Last year I was fine biking in the cold snap, except for one time biking up a hill. Actually breathing hard, I got a lot more cold air in my lungs, and ended up with a cough for a week. Wanted to avoid that this year.

Modern life on the other hand often starts the day with an utterly toxic commute.

Yet another reason to bicycle (and to have good bike infrastructure!)

Could you explain how you use a shmoo plot for optimization? Do you just have a performance metric at each point in parameter space?

This is definitely arm-chair quarter-backing, but wouldn't ground effect allow for a lower stall-speed?

Sometimes pointer arithmetic is the best implementation; are you implying that C++ would be better off without access to this feature?

It seems like it would mess up traffic more? I have heard that Waze sends drivers through residential areas as shortcuts, which, you know, kills kids.

The summers are when research happens - this is not a holiday. Sabbaticals are also for research. "Pet projects" is actually just research. Did I mention research? There's also grant proposals.

ClimateTown has a video about this today! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OUNXFHpUhu8

Right of passage laws are not part of the code civile, which is the legal system in France. Quebec follows this as well - a hiking/climbing had access removed because someone was thinking of building something. In common law countries areas, the fact that there is a well-used trail that has existed for some time means that people get to pass, regardless of whether it's private property or not. In code-civile jurisdictions, the government steps in and buys part of the land to allow for access.

Sounds like the author is slowly discovering micro economics?

Speed difference is also an issue. Speed certainly kills.

Increased speed limits in BC increased fatalities: https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/fatal-crashe...

Road Safety Impact of Increased Rural Highway Speed Limits in British Columbia, Canada https://www.mdpi.com/2071-1050/10/10/3555/htm sustainability-10-03555-v2.pdf

https://icsw.nhtsa.gov/nhtsa/fars/speeding_data_visualizatio... 27% of fatalities were speeding-related

“There is a great deal of evidence that if you drive just two percent faster, your risk of being killed increases by 10 percent,” https://www.autoblog.com/2010/06/23/speeding-health-hazards/

Moreover, traffic flow is worse at higher speeds, and there's more pollution, and it's louder. And we have to spend more money on roads.

If one were to want to drive fast, the best place would be a race track.

Side streets really shouldn't be used as major thoroughfares. That's sort of an anti-feature for me - I don't like ruining a neighbourhood by using it as a shortcut all the time.
