Sorry, but yes. In my state, crosswalks are legally defined to exist at every street corner whether or not they are painted lines. Furthermore, the obligation of drivers to yield to pedestrians in crosswalks starts when they step into the s

Seattle? Place yourself in the bike lane stopped at Eastlake and Fuhrman southbound. Very common commute route. No way to not be in the bike lane there given you just crossed the U bridge. (Unless you like riding on steel grating while driv

A baseline rate of wildcards among cyclists encourages greater attentiveness in drivers that interact with me, whether or not I am a wildcard in that moment. It's a herd immunity sort of thing. The practices called "defensive driv

In WA where I am, and I believe in CA, standing on the curb facing the crosswalk != using a crosswalk. Standing around looking like you might use the crosswalk someday doesn't mean anything; using the crosswalk (and having right of way

Matlab is not a JVM language, it just has some ability to call Java built in, and some of the IDE is in Java implementation. Launch Matlab without booting a JVM: matlab -nojvm

They're both designed around completely in-memory arrays, which are passed around by-value with a copy-on-write scheme. For R there is the bigmem package for mmapped arrays. And the "compiler" JIT packace is included since R 2.13. I've seen

I've used Matlab for about 15 years and R for about 3. Matlab burned me pretty badly during my graduate career; two weeks after deciding to learn R, I'd recreated a data analysis/modeling/graphing problem I'd previously done in MATLAB, usin

I can see that from this distance -- I should have been more specific about is being a downside of the way MATLAB is only half-assedly array-oriented, not necessarily a feature of all array oriented languages.

The idea appears to be that array languages have builtin functions for operations that would require map/reduce/etc in the applicative programming paradigm. I agree that is convenient, but the downside is that only array operations that are
