It's pretty simple and fun to compute these for your own use cases. Openstreetmap data is really useful here. One implementation: http://notes.secretsauce.net/notes/2015/05/06_poles-of-inacc...

Clearly I did not understand this :) Is there any reason to not make this the default? I've never used this feature, but if you think it's generically useful, you can email the debian-science list with the suggestion. The maintain

Where are the sources? If you're releasing modified binaries, you're violating the gnuplot license.

Not an "institutional coding standard" by any means. Maybe some groups conform to this, but I haven't come across any.

Linux now has a number of tools that can do this just fine. strace was the only tool LOONG ago. For the issue described in the article sysdig would be the tool I'd use, but that's just one option.

Not only that, but the references on that wikipedia page about bicycling are extremely poor: neither contains any sort of justification for the claim. I was hoping for a link to a paper, or something.

Thanks for the link! I'm still going to claim that 1 micromort/10 miles is nowhere near "super lethal", but we can all decide that for ourselves, I suppose.

by dima55 8y ago
It can. The people complaining are generally those that chose to live far away from transit. There are plenty of us that barely drive; we just don't complain.

"Super lethal"? Let's keep things in perspective.

Depends on what you want to see; the city is incredibly diverse. The denser, more urban areas are the ones developed before the car was the dominant form of transportation. Downtown, Macarthur park, koreatown, hollywood, etc are very dense.

Your interpretation is based on a slice that's 80 miles long, so I'm going to go out on a limb and say that you don't have a good sense of even that slice. LA is fantastic. There's plenty of suburbia to be sure, but livi

I don't know who these "distros" people are. Humans care. But no humans cared-enough to update this earlier. If you want to contribute to the Debian project specifically, talk to me.

You can do this on Linux using perf, if you want less overhead and less impact on the application-under-test: $ perf record -e syscalls:sys_enter_read -g -- application arg1 arg2 ... [ application runs while perf writes out a log, re

No idea if they're serious about recyclability, but keeping an old thing is 100% better than getting a new thing while recycling the old one, environmentally speaking. And Apple's "innovations" make that difficult.

Apple practically invented the concept of "planned obsolescence". They are also the people who pioneered the idea of non-removable batteries in laptops and phones, and they are so antagonistic to people repairing their hardware th

Sigils have been standard in shells for decades. And sigils allow string interpolation to work; again, just like in normal unix shells. The python people decided that sigils are a bad idea, so instead of being able to say "I have $n ap

On some broad level, this is similar to csvkit, but a core design principle is that the toolkit is very light, and mosly wraps standard, exising tools. Powerful tools with a very friendly learning curve result.

There's also this: https://github.com/dkogan/vnlog This is effectively a set of wrappers around awk, sort, join, etc that knows about field names, and lets you use the vanilla shell tools in a much nicer way.

If you're the sort of person that C++ is a good language then yes. Otherwise, no. It has exactly the issues you think it has.

It looks like you get 18.7 miles for the Thorofare area if you look at the boundaries of the wilderness area, not roads. For OSM data, specifically, the area is bigger than that: 21.7 miles. If yall want to play yourselves: http:/&#x2
