On this bridge you're always going to have someone occupying open space, but you can still maintain 5 seconds of visible leading distance. Alas, a lot of drivers on this stretch of freeway are insane.

Torque clockwise to lean more toward the left. Torque counter-clockwise to lean more toward the right. The bike follows a radius proportional to its lean angle.

If you're a 10X slacker you can default to 6%.

In my own case, having a single toddler is about a 20% increase in expenses, and that's not even accounting for saving for college, or how much it would cost if we wanted more space. It's easy to imagine being relatively comfortab

$15K/month of income only goes so far, that's the point of the article. The math without a child isn't so bad. Take out $5K for taxes, $3K for rent, $3K for food/utilities/car/etc. If they're lucky to not

This is no longer the case. Now you instantiate a go module wherever you want by running “go mod init” (which just produces a trivial text file). Each module’s dependencies are now well encapsulated. There’s no longer a need for a messy glo

In my codebase at work there are a few cases where code is (poorly duplicated) that would benefit from a proper generic solution. But I don’t expect go2 to significantly reduce our codebase size, even if we replaced the aforementioned compo

Go makes arbitrarily large codebases feasible. I find Python to be exponentially more painful as codebase size increases. For personal projects this is fine, but for industrial use cases Go has a significant competitive advantage.

Optimization is only premature if the tradeoff between complication and outcome isn't worth it.

I don't know about you, but I push to main far more often than I refer to my degree.

It's not about erasing history. It's about the ongoing impact of blatantly referencing the notion of enslaving people.

I'm not sure you're arguing in good faith. I suggested no such thing about pedophilia, and numerous articles about research into the cycle of poverty and crime are trivial to look up (e.g. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov&#

Much of crime is driven by poverty. If the consequence of poverty-driven crime is more poverty, then this negative feedback loop turns society into an incarceral state. This is the US in a nutshell.

Their point was that the presence of wealth outside of the US is not an indicator of more "correct" economic policy.

by intortus 6y ago
The most significant reason why (manufacturing) jobs no longer exist in the US is our exorbitant privilege of being the global reserve currency. It has nothing to do with labor laws or taxes.

I think you are saying that they are right, but also very, very wrong?

There are mainstream languages with decidable static type systems. They compile quickly and give obvious short error messages.

by intortus 6y ago
Sure, you don't have to go out of your way to challenge your type system, but it still means that you're a single typo away from sending your compiler and yourself on a wild goose chase.

Probably $27k of income per month with $29k of expenses, implying a $1.2M loan due in a few years? Just speculating.

If you're poor and you live in the South (and certain other states), you can NOT get Medicaid. Unfortunately this decision was left up to each state. And even in states where you might be eligible, it's not going to help you (or t

And for basic station keeping in relatively predictable stop and go traffic. It relieves you of some unnecessary micromanagement but it's not autonomous.

No, the NHTSA found no such thing. They did, however, determine that Tesla was not participating in their investigations in good faith.

Their "freedom of speech" impinges upon the rights and freedoms of others. Their position forces a choice of one side or the other. I choose to "oppress" nazis.

Hate speech excludes other people's freedom of speech (and physical welfare).

by intortus 9y ago
Freedom of speech doesn't override the immediate harm of hate speech. If all you care about is the utterance of words, great, but we can't (and don't) decide policy based on one dimension.
