Does the person have children? If so then the law benefits more than just the driver, even if they are the only one on the road.
We already have a precedent of compelling parents to pay child-support.
I don’t know if I’m really advocating for a nanny state, but last month I went to the funeral of a friend that was driving without a seatbelt and was alone on the road. Now his pregnant wife has to raise their child alone.
I guess what I’m trying to say is: Wear a seatbelt.
You may not have any concern for your own safety, but there’s probably somebody who does.
I remembered enjoying the book, so having not read it in a long time, I tried sharing Surely You're Joking with my kids at bedtime.
That chapter wasn’t the only thing I ended up skipping or heavily editing.
* Picking a room at Los Alamos with a window facing the women’s housing, but being disappointed that a tree or something blocked his view. (Wasn’t he also married at this point?)
* Starting a new Uni faculty position and hanging out at student dances, dismayed that girls would stop chatting & dancing with him when they learned he was a prof and not a fellow student.
* Hanging out at strip clubs to practice his drawing skills.
* Considering a textbook sales rep’s offer to help him find “trouble” in Vegas.
So maybe that one chapter turns around some at the end, but it’s not the only cringe-worthy moment in the book, and I can see why some people may have an overall negative opinion.
If I were going to do this with my kids now that they are teens, I wouldn’t filter as much and use the more questionable events as points of discussion.
I was reading this the other day looking for ideas on how to test query retries in our app. I suppose we could go at it from the network side by introducing latency and such.
However, it’d be great if there also was a proxy or something that could inject pg error codes.
Nice! I worked on something similar as an undergrad project years ago, setting up beams with different orbital angular momentum characteristics. Was a lot fun working in the lab. Sadly I didn’t have the focus/grit to finish writing a paper (sorry Dr. Singh). Side note, this was in 2007 and the folks in our optics lab would check the location of beams by grabbing from the stacks of ancient punchcards lying around and waving them next to the apparatus.
This paper has a pretty similar setup, but adds a spatial light modulator (like a DLP projector that can control phase as well as brightness).
What is wild to me is that the researchers here are able to create a beam where the angular moment changes as you move away.
An approach we've done is to use Postgres' "create database foo2 template foo1" syntax to essentially snapshot the db under test at various points and use those to rollback as needed.
If your table setup process starts to get slow like ours, checkout psql TEMPLATE (https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/manage-ag-templatedb...). Do the setup once to a db with known name, then use it as the template when creating the db for each test.
I snagged one of those keyboards at an auction. Haven't been able to get it to work with a modern PC. Hard to find much info on this line of computers.
Right. The article is saying the basic argument stands whether you like Sun or not.
