The author makes it look like only pro racers are fast enough to benefit from carbon bikes. I guess he's never met good amateur racers, they are very fast, the big difference between an amateur racer and a pro is in how long they can s

It's actually a common problem in lots of computing related research communities. Papers older than 10 years ago, sometimes even 5 years ago, are ignored. Because the results do not compare in terms of computing power, and because reim

Heavy exercise should be avoided in the evening, it's best to do it early in the morning or during your lunch break if you can.

Firefox has a "saved credit cards" feature. I'm not using it, so maybe I'm unaware of its limitations?

I'm using KDE Plasma with multiple desktops and monitors using only keyboard shortcuts, it works pretty well. I can switch the focus to other monitors, send a window to another monitor, using keyboard shortcuts. There's an importa

It looks like you can use the GPLv3 license for this use case.

I've considered doing that, was it hard to set up?

Due to the possibility to fuse multiple operations in C++ (whereas you often have intermediate arrays in numpy), I routinely get 20x speedups when porting from numpy to C++. Good libraries like eigen help a lot.

Really depends on the laptop. On my work laptop, the microphone is located next to the fans (instead of for instance next to the webcam). You can imagine the audio quality.

60km/h is sprint speed for elite cyclists on road bikes, I guess recumbent bikes can go way faster than that.

I think the blame can be put on the closed ecosystems of phones. On laptops and desktops, with the possibility to install any OS, it's more often possible to meet the requirements of up-to-date frameworks using the same hardware. My la

The threat model that's addressed by deletion of message is the seizing of one's device by a hostile party (eg dictatorship). One cannot be incriminated by messages that have been deleted. As you pointed out this will not help if

I found it easier to understand your example by comparing to openstreetmap, which seems up to date at that location: https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=18/54.64443/25.05401

In my opinion a very good point about Rust is that it is built by people who know these functional programming concepts and why they are yseful, but are pragmatic enough to give them names that are easier to grasp for folks who don't k

In pro cycling it's actually forbidden to have aero fairings on your bike. During the Armstrong years there has been a controversy about the placement of his radio on his back during time trials that would incur fairing.

You make it sound unfair, but from the point of view of EDF getting the power you generate in the grid is probably never profitable. If you're in excess it's probable other sources of renewable are peaking simultaneously, but the

But they are nx1 matrices in Eigen, you can call the rows() and cols() methods to check that. However, the nice part is that, since Eigen knows the number of columns at compile time, it enables vector methods such as size() in addition, whi

This feature is available for the linux/android combination using kdeconnect. Unfortunately I don't think there's an iOS app for that.

That sounds very interesting. Does that mean I should be able to load a VM containing my windows partition fron linux, even without a dedicated GPU? Do you have a pointer to a tutorial explaining the setup ?

Unfortunately yes, airplanes have less infrastructure costs than trains. Once you airport is built, you are potentially connected to any other airport. For trains you still need to build thousands of miles of rails, with complex infrastruct

Zig requires the allocator to be specified for each allocation: https://ziglang.org/documentation/0.5.0/#Memory This has a huge impact on the API design, so I don't think this can be retrofit in standard libr

You're right, since I'm frequently using templated functions I encounter this issue quite often, but here when I wanted to give an example I forgot I needed to be in a dependent context. I guess I'd better test my example nex

Indeed, months are 1 based, but it's never been a problem to eg compute which month it will be, say 9 months later: just sum and subtract 12, no need for a real modulo computation. It's probable I've never found it annoying b
