There's a sizable portion of people believing that spherical coordinates can be directly converted to planar coordinates :-).

There's a proposal to add fibers (akin to Boost.Fiber) to std C++, and of course, don't forget about coroutines :-)

According to https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22865842 #embed proposal is in the review process http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg14/www/docs/n2499.pdf . This similar (same?) proposal is also presented and in the review at WG21 to be included in C++ standard.

The author puts a lot of work towards making this proposal a reality (as far as I as a casual twitter/slack observer can see) and I'm looking forward to it.

This is similar to idx/sub files from DVD which are just images and they are OCRd to text sub/srt file. I assume it's just easier for them to render the image than to mess up with text rendering/code page issues/whatever complication coming from huge diversity of devices they support.

Yeah, the article is somewhat confusing, or wrong? I didn't see much people driving on pavement as well (I can't recall any), but had to move four of these to the side so that the lady with a roller can go through the pavement. The parking is literally - just leave them anywhere. And then they fall on the side, making them unwanted since nobody wants to drive scooter that's on the ground, so they stay there for days.

> She said parking in such a way as to obstruct traffic or pedestrians will mean a 35-euro fine -- but the Paris city council has pledged to build parking spots for 2,500 scooters.

One of the available garbage collector implementations in D (version 1) (and there's a work in progress to port it to D2) is a concurrent garbage collector which performs a mark phase in forked process going over the address space.

Also I've seen a project which persists large amounts of data to disk by forking and using a consistent snapshot of the data structures (which the new process will not mutate, so there's no need for locking).

I have (and I wear them at the moment) a single pair, while my wife has several pairs, so it might be we're biassed, but... here in Berlin, pretty much you can see them everywhere. In public transport, stores, on a street, in summer and in winter. They are _everywhere_, it's incredible.
