If the accident had happened with the autonomous vehicle of ANY company, we would still be talking about this and estimating the number of deaths per 100 million miles. Therefore, I think it would be more fair to consider all miles run by a

Dishes are much easier to wash right after they're used. We got into this habit in my household and it's a real time saver. Also, I enjoy not having that feeling that there's something left to do.

It seems you're talking about the IO monad specifically, not about monads in general. Other monads, like Maybe and List, absolutely occur in programs written by "most developers in other languages", whether they perceive them

Actually, the world (the part of it you're interested in, i.e. the license plate) does move that fast, relative to the camera, in terms of pixels/s. You need 10fps for patrol car ALPR to work well. Source: I've worked with AL

Not related to habit formation, but may I say what worked for me when learning Japanese in Japan? Take the Nihongo Nouryoku Shiken. Bookstores sell material to study for it. It's great having a study milestone. Start reading, if you ha
