Why must we accomodate the needs of drivers? Why do they hold a special place? Can we instead invest in bike infrastructure? So, here's my personal opinion. For the record, i live in a bike-friendly mid-sized central-european city, do

rust doesn't guarantee anything if you opt out of the guarantees. two examples that come to mind: unsafe and maybe bounds checks in release mode. fastmath is probably different anyway, as the "breaking" is on a floating point

as far as i understood (though i have to admit i didn't understand much) you can use different schedulers. i haven't had a closer look at rust in general, async and tokio, but i suspect you can use the different schedulers in the

then why not run faster or further? regarding the ligament strain - this contraption adds 5kg to your weight, so i'd say there's some (tiny) additional ligament strain. i.e. the suit would just be a runners back pack weighting 5kg

i remember about a call for volunteers for an experiment treating hearing loss with some proteins and/or adenoviruses (not a specialist). this was a couple of years ago and it sounded pretty much exactly like what this article describe

vienna is definitely not a nightmare with kids and no car. even disregarding the subway and public transport, i see plenty of people riding around with bike trailers (fits two) if the weather permits.

you'd have to know the (physical) reading mechanism (plus encoding) to read the README.txt itself.

depends on the RAM and extras. pure pi with 1gb and no power adapter/cable/case is still ~35€. the more expensive options are with either 4gb ram and/or bundles.

i started lifting at the age of 30. starting age is not that much of a factor (i.e. now, at 37, my lifting numbers partially exceed those of OP at 10kg less bodyweight). it does limit the performance ceiling you'll be able to reach, bu

that's not soley because of the epigenetic muscle memory: 1. you also already have the basics of lifting technique down - it takes some time to learn to squat properly. 2. you are comfortable with going to the gym and getting into the

i can confirm this from my own experience. didn't use a bike to get around the city for years, but once i started, my (car) driving style changed noticeably. for example, i do a lot more shoulder checks to the right. i'm a very fa

evolving agents like those are very good at finding bugs to abuse. so, if they'd find a zero day to break out of the quake-sandbox, what would they do? i guess, for the longest time they'd just use the DMA into the sandbox to incr

in my personal opinion: baldness used to be unsexier, but that changed in the last 1-2 decades. nowadays it's another hairstyle people might adopt even if they're not bald - fashionable, especially combined with a beard. being par

that's hindsight, though. enforcing the law is, i guess, rarely cost effective in the short run.

you seem to be a very unlucky edge case, falling through the cracks like that, and in a car-reduced city your case definitely would have to be reconsidered. that said, having a city that is designed for cars is exclusionary to a lot more pe

few problems are easily parallelizable. that said, that's not even the issue here. specialized instruction may be emulated by movs, but the speed loss could never be recouped even by massive parallelization.
