Sorry, but yes. In my state, crosswalks are legally defined to exist at every street corner whether or not they are painted lines. Furthermore, the obligation of drivers to yield t…

Seattle? Place yourself in the bike lane stopped at Eastlake and Fuhrman southbound. Very common commute route. No way to not be in the bike lane there given you just crossed the U…

A baseline rate of wildcards among cyclists encourages greater attentiveness in drivers that interact with me, whether or not I am a wildcard in that moment. It's a herd immunity s…

Somewhat fittingly, though.

I've used Matlab for about 15 years and R for about 3. Matlab burned me pretty badly during my graduate career; two weeks after deciding to learn R, I'd recreated a data analysis/m…

I can see that from this distance -- I should have been more specific about is being a downside of the way MATLAB is only half-assedly array-oriented, not necessarily a feature of …

The idea appears to be that array languages have builtin functions for operations that would require map/reduce/etc in the applicative programming paradigm. I agree that is conveni…

It also allows the file to be widely disseminated and mirrored before revealing what it contains, as an anti-DDOS measure.
