It should just return a precision estimate along with the data. Here's what the ancient (from january 1996) standard for "location" records in the DNS specifies, which in my view is very sensible: https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc1876

SIZE The diameter of a sphere enclosing the described entity, in
centimeters, expressed as a pair of four-bit unsigned integers,
each ranging from zero to nine, with the most significant four bits
representing the base and the second number representing the power of
ten by which to multiply the base. This allows sizes from 0e0 (<1cm) to
9e9 (90,000km) to be expressed. This representation was chosen such that
the hexadecimal representation can be read by eye; 0x15 = 1e5. Four-bit
values greater than 9 are undefined, as are values with a base of zero
and a non-zero exponent.

HORIZ PRE The horizontal precision of the data, in centimeters,
expressed using the same representation as SIZE. This is
the diameter of the horizontal "circle of error", rather
than a "plus or minus" value. (This was chosen to match
the interpretation of SIZE; to get a "plus or minus" value,
divide by 2.)

...so, for a point "somewhere" in the united states, I'd reckon that SIZE=1·10⁰m (1 times 10^0=1m) and HORIZ (and VERT) PRE set to 5·10⁶m (5 times 10^6=5000km) would be a sane choice.

(measuring on google maps, the united states seem to measure about 4500km from east- to west-coast)
If you only have 10k€ in the bank and not a second "survival" account with around 10k€ then this should be your backup fund. Make the money as easily assessible as possible. It should be at least 3 months of expenses, and I personally spend less than 10k in 3 months but still have that goal.
Just buy index funds. They have low fees, and beat most (if not all) managed funds long term anyway. Find a fond tracking S&P 500, one global and maybe some other markets, and you should be set.
My hope is it will get a lot simpler, even trivial work seems far more complex that it needs to be. I'm pretty sure I was more productive writing VB apps twenty years ago than I am with current web development.
Isn't this ultimately something Facebook cannot win? It seems to me that updating the 'ad detection' in a Chrome plugin is significantly easier than updating the Facebook codebase, so much so that it offsets the potential difficulty of writing the code to detect these ads in relation to code that obfuscates the fact that something is an ad.

Or am I missing something?

I hated this kind of advice when I was new, I followed it and my hatred has not subsided at all. Just pick a language and learn this stuff as you go, it will make zero difference and will save you a ton of time.

I think you are conflating purple with (spectral) violet here. All purples are created from the mixing of high and low wavelength and are not present in the rainbow.

Violet, which is present in the rainbow, is not available for addition in the links provided since it can't be represented on computers using blue as their lowest wavelength primary.

What do you mean by that. Because doing parallelism wrong is easy : do it. Parrallelism mean doing the same thing at the same time. The only way to not do it wrong is to not do it.
It isn't good or bad. It's an optional feature. No one is forced to use it unless they specifically want it.

Your bosses aren't forced to use it. This means that if they don't want to use them and they don't believe the official style guide has to impose them, you don't have to use them.

If your bosses decide to impose them and change teh official style guide to require type annotation then your personal taste doesn't have any say in the subject either way, and you only need to act like a professional and be a team player.

But the key issue is that no one is forced to use optional features unless they really want to.
We have lived with (and sometimes even liked) curated ads in paper publications for decades.

In the 1970s, my grandfather mailed his local newspaper and asked them to remove the ads when they made his copy of the paper. "I never read them" he wrote.

My mother had to explain to him how mass production worked.
I wish there could some discussion about an intrusiveness score of an ad. I'd be glad to block ads that are not too intrusive.

As long as ads are hosted on the same server of the website, there is no problem. Until that's done, I'll keep blocking. Google ads were a fine example of unintrusive ads.
And there's the rub. It's total chance, and there's no guide. You have to understand psychology and psychaitry to have a chance of navigating the system. And when you're struggling, that's the last thing you can do

Meta-heuristics as conceptualized by many (most?) does not include selection among algorithms. Hyper-heuristics does. It's fine if some of the algorithms selected among are meta-heuristics. Yes, this is very confusing, and yes, better terminology is needed. In particular, we should probably stop using the term meta-heuristics, because it has too many incompatible meanings.
Are you 'the' Justin Frankel? If so, I feel vindicated in my decision :) (which was admittedly controversial among my colleagues at the time because NSIS is so much more 'natural' to use than MSI).

I think the backend will remain pretty much the same as it always has been. decentralized networks will have their role however they will be too complicated to be cost efficient to develop for small-to-medium businesses, due to their increased complexity. the trend towards high-level development platforms that take care of a lot of things will continue. the trend towards generic backends that require little programming at all (think CMS) will also continue.

This is kind of like "SWATting", in that we hold anyone and everyone except police responsible for horrible things done by police. One would have expected some sort of procedure to have developed, between the second and four-hundred-thirty-second time the sheriff's department drove out to hassle these people. Apparently one would be expecting too much.

I like how they 'fixed' it by moving the default to the centre of a lake. So you still have the waste of police (or whoever) driving out to some location before they figure out what's going on.
I notice you often ask that question on MySQL threads.[1][2]

Here's the recurring pattern: if it's a single-instance database, either PostgreSQL or MySQL will work. However, if it is sharded database with multi-master replication, the overwhelming industry preference is MySQL instead of PostgreSQL.

When it's just a single-instance db, a compelling case can be made for PostgreSQL because of features such as stricter type checking and stronger stored procedure language.

However for sharded databases, there have been several high-profile case studies of migrations from PostgreSQL to MySQL including Etsy and Uber. I can't think of any major company doing the reverse of migrating a multi-master db from MySQL to PostgreSQL.[3] From an operational standpoint, the replication of Postgre dbs is fragile compared to MySQL. Instagram is a famous example of a large website using PostgreSQL but keep in mind that they did(do) master-slave instead of master-master. Reddit on Postgre is another example configured as master-slave. As for this particular thread about Pinterest, they use master-master and I've seen no evidence that Postgres+3rd party tools is superior for that scenario.

If you disagree with the above assessment, it would be helpful if you explain how PostreSQL is equivalent or better than MySQL for multi-master db replication architectures. If you just repeatedly ask, "is Postgres good for this?", the replies don't seem to give you the answers you're looking for. If you have a strong position, you should state it so it guides further discussion.

[3] when Uber migrated from MySQL to PostgreSQL in 2013, it was still a single-instance to single-instance migration. They did it to take advantage of PostGIS features. The subsequent 2016 operational difficulties of multi db replication pushed them back to MySQL.
Does anyone know how does the efficiency of an entire tree compare (i.e a single leaf reflects some light, which then is absorbed by another leaf)?

Yeah, it works for what it is—it's not wholly dysfunctional, obviously, but I was responding to a discussion bringing up several imperfect parts from both a creator and user perspective. I think they're common challenges in open source, and the problems are real, and shouldn't be ignored but rather improved.

Every system has flaws. Some systems are better than others despite their flaws. Yet, I have never met a system that couldn't be improved in some way with careful understanding of its structure, states and flows, and leverage points.
I would like to take this opportunity to say that wikipedia is truly awesome. I've searched for Niku and I found wikipedia's article on it here:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2011_KT19

What makes wikipedia awesome is the article's edit history -- the article was created about 21 hour ago. Yet, it's more informative and straight to the point than the article posted in sciencealert.com.

Kudos for the wikipedians who made this happen.
Yeah, European keyboard layouts are annoying like that. Too bad that it seems unlikely that they would ever change even if there is some talk in France that they want to reform their keyboard: http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2016/01/france-says-azert...

There was a project in Finland to reform keyboard layout ("Kotoistus"), only thing they managed to do is to add more dead-key accents and make the keyboard even more annoying to technical users. In all their great wisdom they decided to add non-breaking space character to altgr-spacebar key combination. In isolation that might seem like a good idea, but when also | character required the use of altgr-modifier it was a mess: working with the command line, you tend to have stuff like ... | grep foo. Soon enough there were plenty of users wondering why bash complains that grep is not found: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/218637

Personally, I have abandoned national keyboard layout and adapted US layout instead. Makes both programming and general use much more comfortable. Its amazing how much less I need to use modifier keys now, especially the painful altgr.

Firstly what has happened with the quality of journalism in Esquire, you can not call this serious journalism when the author writes:

"You can't make this shit up ...",

"The story's goes ..."

"The Mexican authorities had a line on the little bastard."

This is like listening to a person in a bar recounting a story.

Second, the increasing legalization marijuana in the US and the current flow of heroin into the US are orthogonal. Legalization of marijuana is not the cause of an influx of heroin. Mexican marijuana has always been considered cheap and inferior quality. The fact is that US has developed a taste for highly cultivated quality weed, the same as the US has with coffee and craft beer. Its "conspicuous consumption", quality weed, is a status symbol - a sign of discerning taste. The people that were hurt by the legalization of marijuana were the small time neighborhood dealers not the Mexican cartels. Mexican cartels most significant revenues have always been Cocaine which needs to transit Mexico to get to the US. While Cocaine production is still centered in South American the trafficking and logistics were taken over from the Colombian Cartels by the Mexican Cartels after the demise of the Medellín Cartel in Colombia.

The real reason the US is seeing an uptick in Mexican heroin is because there has been a market created for it by those who have become hooked on prescription opioids. When they run out or can no longer obtain their Oxycodone or Hydrocodone they satisfy their withdrawal with street dope.
> The hard part is financial independence without lifestyle compromises.

My point exactly.

But I also think you don't need to live in one of the most expensive cities of this planet. A few lifestyle changes should be acceptable, though. I would say if you spend more than $50k/year it should be possible to have quite a good life with some modifications.
I don't think WebAssembly is going to revolutionize front end development.

What you can do with WebAssembly regarding front-end development is running your Qt/GTK+ type of programs on web.

But noone is interested in that. As a matter of fact, current trend seems to be ditching that sort of program on desktops and using HTML/JS/CSS stack for desktops as well (atom, slack, etc) because its much easier to create a top-notch UX using HTML stack.

HTML stack is very resilient. It evolves at a fast pace. Don't underestimate it.

WebAssembly will definitely have its own use case in the future (games, apps with specific performance requirements) but its not replacing frontend development.

Regarding backend, its not going away. Serverless doesn't mean backend-less. It means backend deployed in a very distributed fashion.

I personally think backends will be thinner and thinner as databases gain more responsibility an functionality.

Sometimes they don't. Sometimes they go up. Lots of people think they're priced in, and the point at which they go ex-dividend is a convenient point to decide that it's now worth a bit less. Was it "priced in" before? No idea. Going ex-dividend is a single, identifiable point at which people can say it surely must be worth less now.

I personally value dividend paying stocks more highly than non-dividend paying stocks. A history of dividends makes the stock appear more valuable to me (given that the majority of companies are rubbish at investing in themselves, giving me the money and letting me reinvest it myself is preferable). If they just went ex-dividend, that's a excellent very fresh data point that makes the stock look more valuable to me.
Regarding the video:
The contraproductive and unnecessary use of pretty loud 'background-music' is pretty distracting and ruining this for me. It's a disregard for music and i view it also as a disregard me as a viewer, like it's assumed i wouldn't be able to listen to someone speak without the elevator soundsystem blaring around. They also do this on the radio when they tell you the weather forecast: of course only with loud music playing. And i then have to separate and throw away most of that audio info to get the information i want. Like everything wants to be a horrible rap song. I don't get it. This needs to stop.

The more people try to build simple and "elegant" front ends, the more us backend developers have to do to support them.

I seem to be doing a lot more "mashup" work than ever before, joining up disparate back end systems in order to hide it all behind a simple modern front end. In the past if I was developing an order processing system I would work on the view/UI side of things as well, now I expose the functionality via an API and let the front end guys develop a nice interface for it all.

Also lets not forget you don't actually want any mission critical, confidential or security stuff happening on the front end no matter how WebAssembly gets.

There will always be a backend.

That's certainly a difference from much of the open source world, with half the mobile phone market based on Android, for example. The market for certified compilers in the grand scheme is very small in comparison, so it could be argued that in general languages and programming is an area where open source has been wildly successful.

And that makes sense—the tools that developers use being metatools that they can work on and improve, targeted directly at the audience that can work on them—I'd expect nothing less than near complete adoption of such a thing.
I've never read that one - I'll add it to my list!
It's the classic "Can't you just add another checkbox here?" situation. Yes, I can add a checkbox there. But I have to add the code to include that setting in the API that the front-end calls, to give you a way to retrieve it and change it. Then I have to add code to the data access layer for this new setting. Then I have to write the SQL scripts to add columns/tables for this new setting, as well as change scripts to change the schema. Then I have to test all the pieces involved, test that upgrading the database from N-3 recent releases to the new schema works correctly.

And this is for a dead simple little setting.

Living extremely cheaply isn't always that great.. you can be frugal, but at a certain point, people take it too far.

I.e., if you spend hours (or days!) comparing prices when purchasing lower value items, you value your time at exactly zero, and it might actually be easier to make (!) money vs spending less. Maybe your girlfriend actually prefers living a little?

I'm not saying to throw your money away on useless stuff (I don't), but at a certain point, it gets tiresome. I've known a guy who, when he was thirsty, refused to purchase a small bottle of water for like €1.5 because he considered it a ripoff, after which he promptly asked a friend if he could drink from his bottle. Honest to god, I hope you don't mean living cheaply in that way.

In the end, it's about finding a balance. Too much spending, and you won't have enough to invest. Too little, and life won't be much fun, 'cause frankly a lot of fun things cost money. I spend about the same (probably a bit more) as some of my friends in terms of monthly burn, yet I make 10x their salary. I consider that frugal, but I live well.

Also, there's no point living cheaply if you don't know what to do with the extra money. Know where you're headed, i.e. financial independence, buying a house, etc
