Hi! I work on the Mapzen Search team. Glad to hear you like most of what you've seen so far. Your feedback is super useful and I think at least some of it we'll be able to address relatively soon.

1.) We do have a focus point option for autocomplete, with either a soft (will sometimes show you results far away if we think they're really relevant) or a hard (only stuff nearby) radius that can be set. Look at the boundary.circle and focus.point parameters in our /v1/search endpoint docs (https://github.com/pelias/pelias-doc/blob/master/search.md). As you probably realized tuning this for general use is actually quite difficult, but if you're running pelias yourself there's nothing stopping you from tuning to your particular use case. But if you're running your own instance you can also just add a filter by state, since we already have a state field in all our documents.

2.) That's right, even for our datasets that have polygon data (only OSM and Quattroshapes), we just take the center point. This is something we want to add in the future, but it may take a few months at least, since we don't currently have much infrastructure for handling polygon data. We also have another awesome team at Mapzen that is working on a gazetteer project called Who's On First(http://whosonfirst.mapzen.com) that should really help by offering concordance between datasets.

3.) This one's interesting, we should be able to fix it right away because NYC data is generally quite good. Can you check if your building is in OpenStreetMap(http://openstreetmap.org) or OpenAddresses (http://openaddresses.io has a download for the USA, then find the file for NYC)?
MacGyver – The Real Origin Story (2012)
The UXPA conducts a robust study of this every three years. Here's the report from 2014: https://uxpa.org/system/files/public/UXPASalarySurvey2014_Fi...
> No need for handling errno EAGAIN/EINTR yay!

Yay for EINTR, but you're still handling EAGAIN; it's just called TLS_POLLIN/TLS_POLLOUT now. (Not that this is a bad thing: this is exactly what I'd expect from such an API, as it needs to integrate with the local event loop.)

The "What's wrong with the OpenSSL API" is excellent: a coworker ran into this just recently. A client was failing to connect, and had SSL23_XXX in the stack trace, and he wondered why it was using an outdated version of SSL; since we've long since disabled support for SSLv3 server-side, he figured — reasonably — that the client was failing to connect for that reason.

For those wondering, from the Python docs, which have the best explanation I know of:

> ssl.PROTOCOL_SSLv23

> Selects the highest protocol version that both the client and server support. Despite the name, this option can select “TLS” protocols as well as “SSL”.

Yeah that's an interesting way to describe racism, fascism and the general douchebaggery he seems to exhibit.
Whilst on the bus earlier this week I was waiting for it to depart when I heard a loud thud on the roof. Shortly afterwards I heard another thud. It turned out that a crow had a large seed in its mouth, seemed to be a plum seed, and was dive-bombing the roof of the bus in an attempt to crack it. It succeeded on the third attempt.

They really are wonderful.
As an employee of Patreon, we totally respect this decision. If other companies can learn from our mistakes (and, hopefully, our successes in encryption, disclosure, etc.), than that seems like the best thing that can come out of this.

While we were very aware of the dangers of the debugger, we ran with it anyway on our development servers because we were confident our development instances were behind our VPN, and the debugger is quite useful for... you know, debugging :D This server slipped through the cracks, and we were not fast enough to pull it back in.

What's definitely most upsetting is articles like this http://arstechnica.com/security/2015/10/patreon-was-warned-o... that were posted in response to your write-up which state that it was our production server which was compromised, and other inaccurate data.
When sitting all day in front of a computer, I like to take breaks and use a jump rope. It helps get the blood flowing, and I'm able to think better and concentrate more easily afterwards.

Also, many people have said it before, but squats are absolutely amazing at getting in shape. Yes, if you do them incorrectly, you will hurt your knees. Starting Strength by Rippetoe tells you how to do them correctly.
Well, I shrug to think about how people would create a program that runs for an indeterminate time (that's most useful ones) in a coinductive total language. Yes, in practice it must be possible.

Then, total languages are just a subset of the non TC languages, and those are as prone to accumulating technical debit as TC languages. For avoiding technical debit, one needs something much less expressive.
Actually back strengthening and, in general, rear chain exercises are pretty much just the kind of strength training you ought to do to reverse (some of) the effects of prolonged sitting.

Of course I can defend the Nazi swastika - it looked badass and it was easily recognized. When you go to war having a badass easily identified symbol on your flags is efficient and boost morale.

Also they didn't appropriate it because it was fucking Germanic to begin with.

You're of course free to choose whatever license you believe is appropriate for your project, but I can almost guarantee that your project will not see widespread adoption if GPL or copyleft licensing is the only available implementation.

Game development projects, in particular, will avoid it, as will almost anything that wants to publish an application to the Apple App Store or Google Play.

You may wish to consider whether adoption of a standard implementation is more important than other goals you may have considered in choosing a license.
That's incredibly frustrating.

One piece of advice is to make FTC/FCC complaints instead of BBB complaints. Those agencies are actually pretty effective at suing companies into better business practices.

My experience with Google Fiber would point to customer service antithetical to that which is typically found in ISP's like Comcast. Not sure if that speaks to honesty per se, but it is definitely a welcome change.
Keeping Lessig out is serving the interests of the political elite though and (again) is a reflection on the interests of the DNC, part of what Lessig's entire spiel is. The issue isn't that he can't raise enough money to start a campaign, or that he probably wouldn't win in the end, it's that he's not given equal consideration by being kept out of the debates and given only token speaking time at the convention.

I can certainly understand the rational self-interest for them in doing so (i.e. controlling the image of the democratic party, giving Hillary a better chance in the general election through more speaking time now, less chance of his hurting another runner's campaign by doing well in a debate), but that doesn't mean it's good for the democratic process - it's just another way of controlling it so that people are only allowed to vote on a couple of pre-approved candidates who barely differ in any meaningful way.
What? Do you think push-ups work your back?
One of the big things they did was cut out enormous amounts of legacy code. Code that someone somewhere might be using. Since they were basically just making LibreSSL for themselves they didn't have to care about that and could be much more free with the changes.

The OpenSSL developers would have a much tougher time dropping MSDOS and VMS and OS/360 support because there are still a couple of people who need it.
This is the way - create a scenario to which there is no possibility of continuing Comcast service. I claimed I was going to be living off the grid and had no need for whatever the internet provided. Was cancelled in under 5 minutes.
"Technical default" may be a better name for it.
Of course. Appeal to authority was never a fallacy; the fallacy is "appeal to false authority". "Terry Tao knows much more about math in general and this in particular than I do, so I'll trust what he says here" is completely valid.
We have a public API in development. ping david at patreon dot com for more info if you'd like.

I would advance that there isn't much respect, period. Part of the American mentality of everyone for themselves I guess.

It's frustrating. You can lose something expensive in Japan like a watch and be relatively assured that no one will touch it for hours/days unless it is to safe keep whereas if the same thing were to happen in the US, it's pretty much a goner. =(
I worked at a company that had a room with a couple of cots for people to grab a quick power nap.

> Yay for EINTR, but you're still handling EAGAIN; it's just called TLS_POLLIN/TLS_POLLOUT now.

I think their point is that you just have to check the return value to know how to proceed, you don't have to check the return value and errno.
T-Mobile Lost My Social Security Number
Read the article and you'll see it's more about the legal aspects of a situation where 177 people were indiscriminately sent to jail on rubber stamped charges.

Imagine being in an IRC channel with a 200 people and 10 of them got into a fight, presumably hacked each other, and than everyone in the channel is arrested on felony charges, and sent to jail with $100,000 bonds. Allegedly there may have been provocation and excessive weapons use by the police posing as members of rival groups.
Reading this article, I can forsee comments about how American kids are being messed up since they can't go and do things freely, pointing to this story about Japan as an example.

While I myself would wish to live in a community where this kind of behavior is OK or encouraged (I'd like for my son to be able to walk to the grocery store a quarter mile away at age 6 or 7 without fear of societal repercussions), I also reject some of the narrative that this article seems to be putting forth (and I predict the comments here will also put forth) that if we let our kids be independent, they'll turn out better. They might, they might not. They'll definitely have a different set of problems, just like every generation before them.
now that's how you do it. Did you charge them an early cancelation fee?
> "Japan has a very low crime rate, which is surely a key reason parents feel confident about sending their kids out alone. But small-scaled urban spaces and a culture of walking and transit use also foster safety and, perhaps just as important, the perception of safety."

Honestly, this perception – that they try to place secondary – is KEY. Living in Japan, it's a stark contrast to walking around the States in any major city. Japan feels – and is – significantly safer.
That's amazing!

Ugh. There was a time AdBlock made pleas for donations for this mom and pop operation that won't sell out, and I donated.
How is something like this scalable with a large amount of users? Will couriers be spending hours buying tickets at convenience stores?
I keep an ideas.txt on my computer (synced to my phone in Dropbox). When you're out and something strikes you (something frustrating? interesting? could be made better?) just jot it down. Capture it in the moment, don't wait until the end of the day (you'll forget).

Over time you'll see recurring themes (you get annoyed by the same issues, the same idea gets written down over several weeks) and it'll be somewhat self-motivating to pursue a solution. Your energy ebbs and flows but if an issue bothers you several times it's likely something you care about.
There was also a shooting at a Twin Peaks in Webster a few months later. Maybe 'Bike Night' doesn't promote a family friendly crowd. If breasteraunts want to gather these gangs up and feed them alcohol, they should be held partially responsible.
I hope that more companies come to understand that a problem analysis like this one inspires customer confidence instead of bringing failure to light, reducing confidence.

I have since learned the comparative uselessness of BBB complaints and the effectiveness of FTC complaints. This is the one instance where a BBB complaint worked for me. I've not had cause to make an FCC complaint since this happened, but I agree, the FTC has been very helpful.

Web developer - FREELANCE and REMOTE

Recently funded startup looking for developer to help relieve pressure from our main dev. The team is living as digital nomads throughout the US, so you can be remote or join us on the journey. Preference for freelancers on a project/hourly basis. Communication is key. You will not be the only developer on the team, so our expectations and tasks will be reasonable and informed.

Our stack:
* is a small webapp running on AWS services (EC2+RDS+S3) that consists of nginx + postgresql + php + cakephp + javascript (jquery and angularjs).

We are looking for a developer to:

* help in finishing the implementation of a completed UI/UX design using the above tech (already 85% complete).

* implement new features in the product pipeline

* bug fixes

Contact yosyp@coral.life
Absolutely. I'm actually embarrassed we forgot to set this up before launching.

We should have it set up by Monday. Thanks for reminding us.

PowerShell is miles ahead of bash, sh, ksh, zsh etc when it comes to consistency. For instance:

* All of the cmdlets follow the same verb-noun pattern.

* There are only 40 or so standardized verbs, with guidelines for what they should be used for and how to choose the nouns.

* Parameter names are also standardized

* Parameters are parsed by the shell - not individual commands, which means that all cmdlets take parameters the same way, no strange differences like between dd, ls, find etc.

* There's a set of standard parameters supplied by the shell that is common to all cmdlets, and which has the same function on all cmdlets (-ErrorAction, -WarningAction, etc).

* Cmdlets are more single-purpose than typical unix commands. Take for instance unix "find". Why can a find command delete files and why can it execute other commands??

* PowerShell supplies scripting and expressions. Meaning that there no need for tools such as jq, awk, find, xargs etc, each with their own expression syntax.

Mobile in general seems very unlikely to have reduced demand.
As wearables increase in popularity there is likely to be an increase.

If there was reduced demand for Android, then iOS would presumably have increased demand.
IMHO, there is a time an place for everything. Sometimes forking is a good idea sometimes not.

When you want to make idealogcal changes to an existing codebase that does not mesh with the idealologies of the maintainer(s), forking is a great way to make your changes happen. Time will tell if your ideas were good ones. That and how well your maintain and promote your fork. :-)

In the case of OpenSSL vs LibreSSL, it appears the OpenBSD team made a great call and they are making it work really well. As for if anyone else agrees and adopts it, only time will tell.
How does it compare to slightly lossy jpegs?
This sounds normal where I'm from (Norway). The cities are slightly smaller here though.
A lot of this is because of assumptions made by other people & law enforcement. A couple friends of mine had DSS called on them for letting their two daughters, ages 10 & 5, walk to a park a block away, with a cell phone, within shouting distance, while their mother was at home. The charges were eventually dropped, but it's not really a hassle that any parent wants to go through.

The assumption in many parts of the U.S. is that if kids don't have a parent standing next to them, they aren't safe. In many cases, they're not safe because that's the assumption.

This is funny because 2 of my kids get off the bus exactly 1 block from our house. I believe we are the only parents who let them walk home from there.
>portion sizes are enormous

Portion sizes at restaurants are enormous. Tourists eat out way more than locals.
There are other electric buses. Volvo, for example, has a concept bus going through tests on line 55 in Gothenburg, Sweden. Here's an article, alas in Swedish, about the bus - http://www.goteborgelectricity.se/node/19499/om-elbussen .

Some highlights: electric motor using lithium-ion batteries and regenerative braking; charged from the power grid at the terminal stations; charging take about 6 minutes, which is more than enough for the entire route; and wi-fi and power outlets onboard.

Do note that it's only a 10 km route. The spec page at http://www.goteborgelectricity.se/sites/default/files/conten... says that the charge time is 6 min/10km. The bus mentioned at fastcoexist appears to be designed for a full-day charge for the entire route, rather than more frequent quick charges during the day.

Such evidence is rarely obvious. Police are refusing to provide what evidence they do have (videos etc), judges have offered "we'll drop charges if you don't counter-charge", sweeping million-dollar bonds imposed on 177 people present are being seriously reduced or dropped, and other highly suspect actions are raising red flags.

What we do have is narratives from bikers present, and some photographic evidence that raises doubts about who started it. There's a lot to discuss/research, so I'll just give you a couple links as major starting points. I'm not saying whether I agree/accept the theories or not, just that we don't have enough definitive evidence to support or deny the conspiracy theory.

Short version: police snipers were already positioned, an undercover agent either started something or was "made", a fight was provoked and police were strangely quick to start firing.

Yes, but a press up does very little for the posterior chain. The focus is on pec major, anterior deltoids and triceps[1]. Throw in some body weight squats, some body rows, (off the desk) and a pinch of planking and you'd have a more suitable list of movements to counteract sitting.

Many good points there, but I think a lot of people could be misled by the advice about timeouts and retries. In my experience, which is a lot more than the author's two years, having each component retry and eventually fail on its own schedule is a terrible way to produce an available and debuggable system. Simple retries are fine and even necessary, but there should only be one part of the system making the often-complex decisions about when to declare something dead and give up. That way you don't end up with things that are half-dead or half-connected, which is a real pain in the butt.
No shit. We took their land, killed their families and friends, and quarantined them to "reserves". Then introduced them to alcohol. What did you think would happen? It isn't genetics, it is escape-ism.
