Republicans specifically want to use the debt ceiling as a way to extract concessions when they don't have both houses of Congress.

In the real world, people in cities are healthier because physical activity is integrated into their daily routine.

"get certified" meaning hospitals can bill for this, which is what will actually get them to adopt something new.

Corners have ramps for wheelchair accessibility. I'm not sure where you live, but we don't have any separate infrastructure here. It's all car infrastructure, and cars suck at sharing. Let them share with road users they can&

That's the wonderful thing. Stuff like this happens to me when I'm in foot and there's no way a human drivers would be held accountable. AVs on the other hand have enough scrutiny the behavior will be fixed.

Anecdotally, I feel much safer around AVs as a pedestrian or cyclist than human driven vehicles. Way more predictable, especially post pandemic when it seems like half of drivers have some behavioral issue.

Human driven cars have been "sharing" space with pedestrians and cyclists with gory results. AVs mildly annoy human drivers, but are much better behaved. In fact they annoy drivers BECAUSE they are much better behaved.

I think only Java and JavaScript use UTF-16? Every C/C++ system I've worked on uses UTF-8, and that's where you'd have access to these intrinsics.

Lots of people simply don't get care due to the cost.

That's just what Tesla calls it.

The technique is called "request hedging".

Roads are similarly unpoliced -- but the lack of enforcement mostly harms vulnerable road users like pedestrians and cyclists rather than the people driving. This creates a cycle where driving is increasingly the only safe option.

Great comparison! Let's stop maintaining the bay bridge or servicing the bonds. Then rebuild it in 100 years. That way everyone can use BART :)

Faster, but still 15-25% slower than Highway's vqsort according to my somewhat amateur tests: ------------------------------------------------------------ Benchmark Time Bytes Items ---------------

The correct analogy: avoid surgery with preventative healthcare and lifestyle changes.

The private school charges you the same amount for one student that the public school has to spend -- but doesn't need to support expensive or difficult cases. How can you then claim that public schools are somehow massively inefficien

I find that mock-heavy tests I've interacted with are low ROI: they don't find or predict bugs, require significant work to write, and often have to be updated when the code under test has changed even when the actual feature&#x2F

Air source heat pumps apparently work pretty well and are much more practical to retrofit.

Sounds like a joy to test

Spot checking a few other comments, they are similarly copied verbatim from elsewhere.

Just a matter of business deals -- but Su "played a prominent role" in those deals, at least according to Wikipedia. Those deals kept AMD alive.

I really prefer icecream to distcc: it handles toolchain distribution, scheduling, and discovery.

Databricks built a proprietary vectorized accelerator for Spark they call Photon. It's not just that they've tuned OSS Spark especially well.

Could these provide connectivity across SF Bay using mostly existing infrastructure? Enabling a 15 minute SF-San Jose connection would be pretty impressive.

I think it's mostly useful if you want to do your own fine tuning, or the data you are working with can't be sent to a third party for contractual, legal, or paranoid reasons.

Yeah, a building just sold at a >60% discount vs 2020. What of it?

Which libc were you using? That would be my guess for the culprit on the C side.

Autonomous vehicles will not make cycling or walking next to much faster multi-ton vehicles more pleasant, even if those vehicles are less likely to kill you. I mean, have you walked along even a 35mph road with significant traffic? It&#x27

Most roads off rush hour are sparsely populated; seems inefficient, let's pedestrianize them.
