I find the e-bike that the article talks about (S-pedelec) to be the peak of unsafeness for two wheeled vehicles. A colleague had one and let me try it - I quickly noped out. He's doing 40mph in traffic with his bike shorts and a flims

Honest question - if it was just one guy, why didn't he get banned instead of changing the rules for everyone?

Your notebooks are very useful, thank you! May I suggest making their background white, or the color text less saturated? The keywords, function names etc. are very difficult to read, I have to paste the code in another editor.

I'm guessing what they are referring to is the IPCC working group 3 report, set to come out next year but leaked a month ago [0] by concerned members of the group. At the time the website was derided due to its anti-corporate/gove

Does anybody have a real case study about the benefits of using constexpr? Everyone is raving about it but their examples of where to use it are absolutely trivial (e.g. return 1+2) and I can't really think of any real-world programs t

How does this compare to boost::spirit? I tried some years ago to make something similar but gave up due to the huge compile times for even simple grammar parsing.

It mostly revolves around storing waste (in other people's back yards), and the mess the government and companies made of it - storing it improperly in mines, and the barrels rusting after some years / leaking waste. Unfortunately

Even the VC++ team at Microsoft only targets clean /W4 compilation [0]. If one enables /Wall there's hundreds of warnings in the standard library files [1]. Not to mention any dependency one might have (looking at you, Boost)

I remember watching a documentary on Discovery in the early 90s where they showed a motorcade of 10 Audis closely following each other using radar and some magnetic markers embedded in the road surface. They could maneuver within inches of

Would be great to see a similar talk about hiring software engineers. Do the studies shown even map to the hiring process?

I often use this quote by George Monbiot in my course as a caveat for my hard-working students: "If wealth was the inevitable result of hard work and enterprise, every woman in Africa would be a millionaire."

Quite a lot of these lawsuits happening in Germany against local businesses. But can a German court really order a company located in Switzerland to comply? I thought that was the main selling point of Swiss-based companies.

By this logic we should not use radar for driving in adverse conditions just because it sees more clear than a human driver.

Would very much like to try this for myself, but I would rather look for a more sustainable diet. Do you think it was a matter of missing nutrients, or rather intolerance of some sort to the carbohydrate sources?

This could be a target for one of those vertical farms that were in the news recently. Would be a game changer if we can get a good protein source for human/animal consumption. I wonder if this can be done similarly to raising poultry

Maybe one needs to dig deeper - all problems stem from our hunt for resources. This seems to be hard wired into life - man and single-celled organism alike. Is this all there is? A never-ending search for resources, and the dopamine reward
