Or automatic shifting for the untapped market of people who wouldn't figure it out but also wouldn't ride a fixie. I can see the concept getting more popular as the price of electric bicycles decreases.

Assuming you know how to work them, and are comfortable enough riding to reach down and fiddle with them.

> Back I come, for that reason, to hwæt. It’s been translated many ways. “Listen.” “Hark.” “Lo.” Seamus Heaney translated it as “So,” an attention-getting intonation, taken from the memory of his Irish uncle telling tales at the table. I

And even if people do know how to use gears, the gears are often in need of some adjustment, so people just stick to the ratios that happen to work.

Giving science points to anyone for every replication they do is one idea. Another way to encourage replication without detracting from original research might be to encourage doing one replication. Maybe something like getting masters stud

Every safety analysis has a system boundary and a definition of "loss". In your example, the topmost system would also include you as a subsystem, and the loss you're trying to prevent is injury to yourself. Getting stranded

That's a screenshot of an animation where the grid is moving. The lines don't capture the object. They just nudge it a bit. Kind of like a ball rolling across a treadmill. Also that image doesn't show the slight twist in the

Seems like that would fall under the "Programming" category: > Your time is valuable, so something easier to program may save you time/money even if its a little more expensive.

What is he wrong about? He's upfront about limiting the scope to single-threaded arena allocators, but still mentions mmap and threads in passing. For talks that are mostly sales pitches, I think it's a pretty informative introduc

I also really like John Lakos' talks on allocators. He does a great job of systematically decomposing the problem space.

A good modern university program probably would have made you take "remedial" math courses first, where they don't assume that you already know general concepts like what a derivative is. Some classes (like proofs) introduce

> Serif fonts usually have more legibility at the cost of aesthetic. Is that true? Aesthetic is subjective. And for legibility, I always heard that serif is better for print, while sans serif is better for screens.

They started PRA of Shuttle after Challenger [1]. I got that number from the SLS PRA and Reliability people, and might have read it in a report too, but I don't remember many more details about it. There's a lot that goes into PRA

Shuttle was canceled because its bay wasn't needed, it was overly expensive, and its service record was pretty accurately tracking the projected 1 shuttle loss for every ~50 flights. There wasn't a strong commitment to the mission

Thank you for elaborating on that point. From some of the other comments, it seems that it's maybe a contentious issue. There's a lot of pressure to include hand-wavy references to "heritage hardware" in the risk assessm

It made sense as an institutional flywheel. The Constellation Program [1] that preceded SLS had two vehicles - Ares I for ISS crew and supplies after Shuttle was retired, and Ares V for occupying the moon. The missions gave some justificati

It seems obvious that the real question that was being asked was "How hard can it be to type some computer words to make a program [given the current state of the software industry and technology in general]?" and the answer to th

The logistics are obviously challenging too. But their process is a trade secret, so of course the video glosses over it. Having thousands of block types also means solving the challenges I listed thousands of times.

Certain types of automation and testing are often built on top of accessibility features. Accessibility doesn't just mean accessible to the disabled. It also means accessible to your code.
