The author says his average mileage is 184Wh/km. I've seen similar numbers in other sources: about 200Wh/km. I am an avid cyclist. When I output 200W for an hour I can go 20-30km depending on the terrain. Maybe 15 if it'

I love Strava. It's a shitty app. It's missing many simple features. It doesn't even do GPS reading right (segments are often cut out extended at the end/beginning of the activity). It does segment matching incorrectly (

Many here are pointing out that Coinbase is build on top of scams and doomed to fail once those collapse. I think IPO'ing it was a great dump on the public enriching the founders and investors at the cost of vulnerable and misinformed.

Freeing stuff allocated in the same scope is both easy to do and easy to catch when debugging. If you have multiple returns just use goto FINALLY instead of returns and put the deallocations before the return there.

I know maybe 4 Vim commands I use to write git commit messages as I was too lazy to change the default editor. :x is one of them. It's funny how different people learn tools differently. I've learnt by googling "Vim basic com

Upvotes/downvotes are too easily gamed as the weights are are the same no matter who you are (thus a bot farm can promote any post/opinion).

I agree. I think we need reputation mechanism. From restaurant and Amazon reviews through travel recommendations to written content. I want to read what reputable people have to say or people similar to me or people without history of spamm

Berkshire doesn't have a chance to outperform because it's too big. It can do a little bit better (either in EV or in some risk adjusted EV measure) but it's able to capitalize on opportunities smaller traders have.

Idk about that. I think it's code with everything declared at the beginning of the scope is easier to read and understand. Every time I see code written in this style (Git, Linux) it's easier to build a mental model of what is hap

It won't be hell in some places but it will be in many. Your argument is akin to: "my neighbours are well behaved so clearly polluting/noisy neighbours are not a problem". It is a problem and if you don't have mecha

You can complain but they won't do anything about it more often than not. You need small local government to care about those things. I live in a country without HOAs and it's a nightmare. Everyone does how they pleases: noise, po

You probably have a very sensitive/better developed sense of taste. I knew a girl like that: every artificial sweetener got bitter aftertaste according to her. Glycerin didn't but that kinda defeats the point. I think most people

So many ways to have fun with speed: downhill mountain biking, kite surfing, skiing, snowboarding, car or motorcycle racing on a closed circuit. If that's not enough speed you can get into aviation and learn to pilot small aircrafts. I

It's not absurd because even presenting facts like: driving fast is more dangerous, induce fear in many other drivers, cause more pollution including noise pollution, is wasteful (less efficient fuel/component wear wise) meets res

There is a solution which EU is actually implementing: automatic speed limiters in every car. Unfortunately the auto industry lobbies successfully to delay it and cripple it so instead of having it obligatory in every car 10 years ago we wi

It might be a lesser rate but they still burn them (and the tires). I am not claiming EVs cause more of it. I am claiming is a problem and reckless driving only magnifies it.

Emissions are not taxed anywhere close to the cost of damage they cause. Electric cars still pollute (tires and brake pads). In general cars and car infrastructure is very heavily subsidized and the least we should expect for it is drivers

No idea about canker sores but cold sores outbreaks (caused by the herpes virus) are linked to almonds consumption because they are heavy in arginine and don't have much lysine.

It seems most comments in this thread are about microplastics. What about the poison we breath every day that comes from exhaust pipes of diesel engines as well as tires/brake pads? It's already proven it's terrible for us in

It isn't because those microcontrollers are not that smart about branch prediction and instruction ordering so the penalty is often bigger. Same with reordering - might not matter that much on a big modern CPU but may matter way more o

A lot of people don't care about security but they do care about performance. Some examples: game engines, various solvers, simulations. This stuff runs 24h/day to produce results. A few percent here and there is a huge cost and t

There isn't. Fast code is pretty important though to a lot of people while security isn't (games, renderers, various solvers, simulations etc.). It's great C is available for that. If you're ok with slow use Java or what

If you don't want the compiler to optimize that much then turn down the optimization level.

Nice way to put down the amazing work of compiler authors. It's not malware you just don't understand how to use it. If you don't want the compilers to do crazy optimisations turn down the optimisation level. If you want then

That's the whole point of UB though: the programmer helping the compiler do deduce things. It's too much to expect the compiler to understand your whole program to know a+b doesn't overflow. The programmer might understand it

by bluecalm 4y ago
It's not insidious at all. C compiler offers you a deal: "Hey, my dear programmer, we are trying to make an efficient program here. Sadly, I am not sophisticated enough to deduct a lot of things but you can help me! Here are some
