It looks like there's a price per kilometer driven when you book a "pack" of hours (going by Google Translate here).

Some drivers indeed use the existence of such lanes as extra fuel for their harassment, which sucks: Very often these lanes are objectively dangerous for cyclists because they are way easier to be "overlooked" at intersections.

While driving culture generally is terrible in Germany, in my opinion, with people driving way to aggressively, the situation may be improving gradually. The idea of having to keep some distance when passing cyclists seems to have reached some drivers. (From court rulings 1.5 meters is the absolute minimum)

This is not true. In Germany bike lanes are only required to be used when there is a sign saying so (and when they usable and safe, which you cannot expect, sadly). By default bike lanes are optional.

My point was that ensembles of deep neural networks are commonly used and yield higher accuracies.

Why shouldn't you employ an ensemble of deep neural networks?

I guess because of this quote FTA:

> And what happens when the company gets a new CEO? What if she decides to break up the company again?

Indeed: Pre-USB "game ports" doubled as MIDI interfaces. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Game_port

> And if you count the EU as one country, which is increasingly true

I guess you read different news than I do.

Neural machine translation (NLP with deep neural networks) has become quite good and is increasingly put into useful products.

(Disclaimer: I work on DeepL translator)

I dislike how this map is presented as almost official. The author does not seem to have any relation to Berlin traffic authorities. This should be framed clearly as a proposal.

State of the art deep learning models are becoming larger and larger and at some point it makes sense to distribute them over multiple GPUs because they would not fit into a single GPU's memory. At the same time training can be sped up dramatically by blowing up the mini batch size in a synchronized training regime, again requiring multiple GPUs. So the trend is towards "model parallelism" and "data parallelism" at the same time. Once you need more GPUs than you can put on a single PCI Express bus, you need a fast interconnect between servers. Infiniband seems to be the best solution at this time. Nvidia GPUs can already communicate ridiculously fast with remote GPUs via RDMA if there is an Infiniband connection. It makes a lot of sense for Nvidia to push into this direction to provide integrated solutions.

Norway's wealth comes from exporting oil and gas. That's not very indirect.

With Lenovo you would get the 3 years onsite warranty with accidental damage protection at the time of purchase. Then a technician will come to your office or home and to replace the broken parts of your Thinkpad. That beats having to go to an Apple store IMO.

I love this screen, too. Sometimes a bit more real estate than its 27 inches could be useful. But my biggest gripe is really that my late 2016 Macbook Pro with a 2GB Radeon Pro 450 often seems to have too little horse power to drive all these pixels smoothly....

Enpass has such a feature too. I just had it check all my passwords in the light of this new breach.

The German Wikipedia is large and sees a lot of activity. Articles about topics relating mostly to Germany, Austria or Switzerland are usually better than the English ones. Other articles are often somewhat biased towards a readership from those country, which is actually helpful if you live there.

Lower English language fluency in the general population, compared to the Netherlands or Scandinavia, supports this of course. But also the fact that German remains a scholarly language to this day (in the humanities but also in some branches of engineering).

> I attemped to create a page about a slightly obscure file format with all the information I had found while developing with it.

One of the core principles of Wikipedia is "No original research". Your proposed article sounds like it was just that. The Wikipedia editors would rather have you share that research in a blog post or similar.

The city has a weird fascination with people called "Otto". Equally revered is Otto I, Holy Roman Emperor, who a 1000+ years ago made Magdeburg his city of residence.

Here’s a few:

- chapters 4 and 5 of SICP

- Fowler: Refactoring, 2nd Edition

- Gehl: Cities for People

- Cohen: The Book of Numbers

- Drnaso: Sabrina

The Czech / Slovak word for "where" seems to be even more significant: https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?date=all&q=Compiz,k...

Does it come with Mac performance improvements?

To reliably triangulate elevation from GPS data you need quite a lot of satellites. Air pressure gives a better signal, but obviously needs to be calibrated for weather etc.

Late 2016 15 inch Macbook Pro, LG 5k screen with the scaling set one tick into the "more space" direction. With Firefox performance is still significantly worse than with Chrome. This is a real bummer, I really miss tree style tabs.

The asynchronous parameter server based approach to distributed training just does not make any sense in a cluster of GPUs. Communication overhead would be massive. Synchronous training with the ring-allreduce method of Horovod etc. is the way to go.

Run Emacs in Evil mode or similar and you get modal editing inside a special editor mode. If anything, Emacs is an extra-modal editor. :)

> Vim is already the best and most customizable modal editor

Weird statement. "Best" is up to debate, but "most customizable" is definitely Emacs.

I cannot really imagine a really good non-modal programmer's editor. Surely it should behave differently when editing Python compared to editing HTML?

> 93% of plastic polluting the world's oceans comes from 10 rivers.

This statements contradicts your article, which states: "A recent study estimates that more than a quarter of all that waste could be pouring in from just 10 rivers, eight of them in Asia." Your 10 listed rivers contribute 93% of the plastic waste brought into the ocean _by rivers_.

Also see this breakdown by country: https://www.statista.com/chart/12211/the-countries-polluting...

Indonesia, the Philippines, and Vietnam each bring more marine plastic waste into the ocean than Egypt, but there is not a single river carrying it like the Nile.

How does KDevelop compare to Qt Creator as a general purpose C++ IDE?

I missed some discussion of how this is built on top of async/await.
