A follow-me tandem (which couples a kids bike to your bike) is a much better solution than giving a 9yo a poorly controlled motor.

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 on

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.

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

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

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 inc

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

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

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.
