Nominally about rock climbing, but really a study of the ego, why we invest so much effort in protecting it, and how little we get for that investment.

An issue is how to enter the symbols. The way I do it is I created some input methods for Mac and Windows which use at-signs followed by the APL community name for the symbol:
@times ×
@grade ⍋
@reverse ⌽
@domino ⌹
https://github.com/clarkgrubb/latex-input/tree/master/aplI've embraced type hints. Although they have no run-time effect, there is a command line tool called mypy which enforces correctness. It has caught more than a few errors for me. Declaring the types of arguments and return values is a help when reading the code imo.
Buses can already use the HOV lanes. One of the expansion lanes (the northbound one) was an HOV lane, so now there are HOV lanes in both directions. Who cares, given how few riders buses attract.
Vehicle capacity on the northbound 405 has increased from 10,000
vehicles per hour to 11,700 vehicles per hour at peak times.
http://thesource.metro.net/2015/05/28/study-finds-traffic-on...So capacity increased maybe 10k a day, or 750M over a 20 year period. Makes the $1B investment seem reasonable.
Not if your significance level is the customary 5%:

The astronauts carried dosimeters, and all got rad doses below what some DOE employees get, so maybe there is better population for an observational study.The basic constructs are "filter expressions". Pipes (|) can be used to direct the output of one filter expression to another, and commas (,) can be used to concatenate the output of two filter expressions.

with the 1973 oil crisis, in which Venezuela's income
exploded as oil prices soared; oil industries were
nationalized in 1976. This led to massive increases in
public spending, but also increases in external debts,
which continued into the 1980s when the collapse of oil
prices during the 1980s crippled the Venezuelan economy.
As the government started to devalue the currency in
February 1983 to face its financial obligations,
Venezuelans' real standards of living fell dramatically.
A number of failed economic policies and increasing
corruption in government led to rising poverty and crime,
worsening social indicators, and increased political
instability.I'm not sure "encoding" tells us that the output is bytes. Surely information can be encoded in other ways. Names like .to_bytes() and .from_bytes() might have saved a lot of trips to the documentation.

However, as another commented, the downtown empties out at night; at least that was the case 20 years ago. Houston is very hot in the summer, so a walking city is probably not a reasonable thing to ask for.
One of the absurdities was the Transco tower, called today the Williams tower. It used to be the tallest building in Houston, and it is outside the 610 loop and 4 miles from the downtown. Everything around it is quite small and it is difficult to understand what economics motivated building it.
Update: I'm trying to think why I like the city. I guess it is the vegetation. Houston is perhaps a bit like how Mayan cities must have been.

has some stats for a 5k race. The average time for men was 28min, and only 10% of the women were faster than 26min.Slower speeds might skew towards women, who naturally live longer.
Another thought is that people who run fast do so over shorter distances, and their volume isn't sufficient to see a health bump.
