[15:24:59] <exec> 08└─I puzzled over taking a bike to work but when the light rail is crowded everybody wants to disembowel all the cyclists. Scooters are much much smaller than bikes. I saw someone on an electric scooter just yesterday. Her ride looked quite 1337. "I gotta get me some of that" I said to her.

[15:25:05] <exec> 08└─Hoarding in particular has become a problem in these crowded markets. Bird and other companies will pay a $20 reward for missing scooters, so some chargers simply keep the scooters in their garage until they're reported missing by riders or the bounty goes up to $20, then claim the finder's fees.

[23:25:19] <exec> 08└─The best innuendo happens when getting shit under the radar. When you take away the "family-friendly" requirement, all that happens is: 1. You can't watch it around kids, 2. Therefore you lose the 25-40 demographic that has kids around, 3. And also the jokes aren't clever anymore. Not that "adult" c...

[23:25:30] <exec> 08└─The article's premise is geared towards current high-performance CPUs for servers and desktops (IA, ARM, Power, etc). All these CPUs are internally completely different from the visual programmer's architectural view. However, if you go to the embedded world, then C maps much better to the architect...

[23:25:53] <exec> 08└─The article is repeating a classic mistake. We have been here before. Lets make the CPU expose really low level details and since the compiler and language knows what it is actually trying to do it can generate better code to utilize all these raw CPU bits. That thinking lead to the wreck known as I...
