I've actually spent many hours trying to make them work. You should at least invest a little research time before making proclamations about how you imagine they work.
Oddly enough, it tends to not be the idealist libertarians in Silicon Valley and San Francisco who oppose housing.
Even in the Model S, I use my phone's directions. Tesla's map app is great, and the UI is _really_ good (even better in the latest update!), but their source for navigation is garbage (and also their routing algorithm).

I hear it's cause whatever they use works offline, but also because Google wants them to send back real time data, but Tesla doesn't want to (forgot where I heard this though).

I would much much prefer to use the Tesla UI for nav, but the directions are really that bad.

Okay, so go find a lawyer willing to make it a class-action and start the suit. Find a list of damages and try to justify the large cost, then file.

Or is angrily commenting on Hacker News easier?

I remember when we open sourced Wraith, we came up with the name about an hour before we made it public. It's nice to know people are still using it, the space is a lot more crowded now than it was 3 years ago.
Yahoo Groups has some useful groups of which I've been a member for many years. I'd prefer that they'd just move to Majordomo-ish mailing lists but short of that they're preferable to Facebook Gruops.

There is a mail icon in the top-right of my Yahoo Groups screen which I've never clicked. Hovering over it says 'we're unable to preview your mail'. I'm half-scared of why that is.
I think display placement is much more important than size. Using a phone for nav that's sitting in your cupholder is terribly dangerous, but using one clipped to your dash inside your field of view seems okay.

You're talking website 101 stuff. That doesn't pertain to the client-side validation issue, as you should be doing it in every case, anyway.

I really wish Netflix had the YouTube-esque ability for users to make and share playlists.

All the Star Trek series and films are on Netflix. Wouldn't it be great to have a playlist of every episode by original air date? (So you don't get confused when Deep Space 9 refers to an event in First Contact?) Wouldn't it be awesome to have a playlist of only the top 20 Voyager episodes, so you don't have to suffer through the awful ones?

It surprises me they haven't implemented this. If they did, any user could solve your problem of putting a movie series in order.

Of course I also wish they had a "back 30 seconds" button for when you miss a line of dialog, and that's never been done either. Sigh. It seems like all their revenue is going into making Marvel shows and zero into software development.
Then don't make the assertion.
This is off topic, but I recently watched Hornblower, a late 90s British series based on Forester's novels. It was surprisingly good, and it has basically the exact same setting as the Aubrey/Maturin novels. I'd definitely recommend it if you're in the mood for that kind of thing.

(And, relatedly, it's not available for streaming anywhere that I can see. I had to buy the DVDs.)
To contest your point of a 1:1 mapping, there are hentaigana which are older than the obsolete characters in both hiragana and katakana. Interestingly enough, these are not supported in Unicode.

Additionally, depending on context, hiragana might not have a phonological reading. See the object marker 'wo'. Katakana is usually phonological, except for the same usage of object marker.

In summary, someone who says "Hiragana can form pictures but Katakana can only form sounds" is either a philosopher who practices calligraphy or misinformed.
it's r^2 in the denominator. one idea is to think of the geometry: the surface area of a sphere is proportional to r^2. therefore if you think of a constant "influence" at a given distance, you might divide it by the surface area (to get r^2 in the denominator)
This is the correct pricing. One caveat: Even the free tier requires you to enter a credit card.

For higher volumes, there is also the OCR.space api. It offers 25,000 free conversions per month. It is not as good as Google, but works fine on screenshots.
I see what you mean. However in a situation where you might be running the command many times (like in a script that goes through data or something) then it might make sense to precompile it. The compile time would add up fast if it was being run hundreds/thousands of times.
I'm absolutely not qualified to address this definitively, but my understanding is that Hiragana is typically used for verb conjugations, adjective inflections, particles (like "の" for indication of possession for example), some natively Japanese words where no one really uses the Kanji for whatever reason, and some other stuff that's similar in nature. Katakana is typically used for writing foreign words so that they use the pronunciation rules of Japanese (like "コカ・コーラ" for Coca-Cola for example) and onomatopoeias.
Be sure to use a common window size, though. If you pick a nice size with your mouse (as I always do), your window size is almost certainly unique when paired with just a few more bits of info.
> over 70% -- were living in San Francisco at the time they became homeless

People should be very, very careful with this number. The criterion used to measure it consider someone who has spent 30+ years in SF to be identical to someone who got off a bus from Nevada, spent a month in a subsidized SRO, and is now in a tent.

Which is to say 48hills is playing a little fast and loose with the truth, but you probably already knew they tend to do that.
Text size is still relevant due to bandwidth and reliability of transmission. Not everyone has a gigabit internet connection--large portions of the world are still operating on 2G wireless, or even dialup.
Only something like 2% of posts have geolocation enabled, though services like Geofeedia also try to discern your location through other means (eg. mentioning you're at a particular area/place).
Tried it and... imagine my disappointment to find out it's ONLY connecting to youporn.

"very NSFW" and "serverS" were overstatements.

My car needed the nav feature in order to get the backup camera, which is essential in cars with a poor rear view.
Nerdnit, I don't think DECstatations were (or were ever called) VAX. They were MIPS-based machines and I don't think they ever ran VMS. There was VAXStations, though, which did.
Thanks for mentioning the issue with the tickets. It's now fixed.

There's currently early birds tickets available for $100. Regular price will be $150.
I'm curious whether any physicists here have read this book and found its claims justified. I'm just a layman who enjoys reading about physics from time to time, but it seems to me that there are actually a large number of unsolved problems in physics that are experimentally accessible to us right now, and there's plenty of space for new theories to yield testable predictions. People were making claims similar to the ones in this book 100 years ago; they were unjustified then, and I expect them to turn out to be unjustified now.

This is so damning. Will the USA ever fix the disastrous health care system?
Even though my car stereo has pandora on it.. I usually just use bluetooth playback with pandora or skype from my phone as the google maps ux is much better and the directions work while listening.

Honestly, the car ux for entertainment, etc in general feels like something that should have been state of the art half a decade ago... it's too slow, unresponsive and irritation imho, depite positive reviews.

For references it's the fullscreen uconnect interface on a 2016 dodge challenger. Also, the fact that it's 3g instead of lte on the antenna makes the mobile hotspot option worthless and not even a consideration.
People don't have a coherent idea of what they think of the encampments.

Propose a measure like this and the most empathic of the privileged people point out how insensitive it is.

Embrace reality and call San Francisco the peninsula's biggest camp ground, and the same people call it insensitive.

Both statements ignore the security issues and circumstances that many campers endure so not mutually exclusive of insensitivity, but at a certain point you are just turning a blind eye in your own special way.

If living in a tent actually is a viable option, then we should stop treating it like it is the most sensitive topic to even talk about casually.

People should be taking as much censorship pity for all the people that live in old walkups or luxury apt in liquification zones of SF. A tent would most likely fair better during an earthquake.
Learning and prototyping are key uses. Both scenarios are not about end products, but can lead to great outcomes in the future. Especially if the users are young people that end up building things like satellites that can warn you about upcoming hurricane or pinpoint your location on the GPS smartphone map and other great inventions of humanity.

The software world metaphor: It is like your first programming manual that has examples and maybe even projects - they are not to be 'used' but 'learnt' from.
Copyright Law Shouldn't Punish Research and Repair
The maximum number of characters in Unicode is 1111998 (this excludes non-characters and surrogates). UTF-16 can encode 1112064 code points (this includes non-characters). This is quite a bit smaller than the 21 bits quoted: you really get the 16-bit BMP plus the 20-bit astral planes, minus the surrogates (2048 of them). The "non-characters" number 66.
Yep. A better approach these days would be to have the car dash component simply be a display/remote control surface for the phone rather than have all the software in the car.

I appreciate that approach has certain disadvantages for device and car makers, but really, the only additional value they could add from my perspective is a more convenient display location and larger, car-centric controls. The apps, the configs, accounts, audio, etc. I only ever use my phone anymore anyway.

And, yes, I have built in nav and never use it in favor of the phone. I also have a Bluetooth-to-FM relay device for the audio.
The Data of the Chicago Marathon – Running with Data
you should design your website to still be functional even if Javascript is disabled

True, but irrelevant to the issue of "can you do X on the client side without Javascript?". I can imagine a Javascript form validator that somehow makes the form unusable with Javascript turned off, but I've sure never seen one.

And server-side validation is website 101 stuff that you should always be doing regardless of the front-end technology, not a counter to the many good uses of front-end validation.
> UTF-16 was only made into a standard in 2000

It only got its own IETF RFC in 2000, but the surrogate pair mechanism was first specified in 1996's Unicode 2.0.
That's nice for you but the whole point of my comment was that I tried OP's commands.
Those are very good arguments for long distance travel, what about in city distribution?
Who needs USB keys?

If you have Python (and preferably a handy virtualenv so you can throw it away afterward), do `pip install rickroll`.

It will do exactly what it sounds like it should do.
There is no way Google has UX designers. I simply do not believe it.

(Probably not Amazon, either.)
For those itching to try, simh is capable of emulating a VAX and running OpenVMS (or NetBSD/vax) on them. One can also get a hobbyist license and media from HPE https://www.hpe.com/h41268/live/index_e.aspx?qid=24548, http://www.openvmshobbyist.com) and play around with it.

It is really quite a fascinating OS (I've had it running under a MicroVAX 4000/60 for fun -- and yes, I can truly say fun!) and feels quite modern even today.
Even then, the AC and other integrated controls could easily be ios/android apps and integrated into the device's connection... Yes, a given app for a/c might suck, but the rest of the ux doesn't have to.
Does this mean we could get way better versions of char-rnn?
Credit Score and Relationships – Bad Credit Score = Troubled Relationships
Something like "We do not have any programs or agreements whatsoever with law enforcement to share any user data or metadata or summaries or analysis of said information. We screen our employees for infiltration from intelligence community members, putting them only in positions where they can not influence our systems without significant risk of discovery and where they can not influence our systems without involving a large number of other people who we empower to contact the public and the media if they see anything suspicious. Furthermore, we have no shareholders or executives with business, security or personal relationships with federal police / national security personnel. Finally, we've designed our product such that the very most minimal set of information and meta information is ever available to us, even if we try, and so the amount of abuse that we could perpetrate is at the very most X, where X can be understood by someone who carefully looks at our design. In addition to this, I and significant parts of our company leadership will step down from our roles if any information contradicting any of this ever comes out."

Though I wouldn't hold my breath.

The wiggle room in "request like this", for example, is huge. That's not something that I'm being particularly pedantic about - it's something we've seen repeated evidence for.

Basically, I've lost trust in the public relations portions of these businesses - which are not empowered to know the truth about what goes on at their organizations to begin with. The only technologies I feel confident placing trust in are ones that don't require placing a trust (forever) in one of these corporations (as well as all future employees and shareholders).

(Twitter is a good example of a company that has held out for a very long time, but has eventually given way to pressure.)
Harry Clarke’s Looking Glass
And the UI on the apps seem to be better. I have an old Land Rover, and whoever wrote the software didn't consider that you need to be showing the current location of the car when displaying a junction. It's no use to me seeing a junction, which can be very complex in the UK, and then not giving an indication of how close I am to it. Am I a mile away? 100m? Oh, I missed it.

Seems to have traffic info though, even though it's quite old. Around London it basically displays a huge jumble of arrows, to the point where you can't see the Thames.

Seems to me what they need to do is just let the phone use the touchscreen in the car. You want to show movies to the kids anyway, and your media will all fit on the phone.
Why does it generally annoy you?
But if UBI is the new norm, sooner or later all of the debt is paid off. Then what? Similarly with savings - after a few years of savings, people feel comfortable and want to live a little, and start spending. It might take a while, but I don't believe that the supply and demand effect will not occur.

Acura wants me to spend something like $179 to update the maps for my in-car navigation system. For that money I can buy a windshield phone mount and a nice cable with cash leftover to take the wife out to dinner.
Show HN: Test Go code against elastic search, postgres and others with docker
Yeah, from the responses, I'm definitely seeing a gulf between "people who've read some random stuff on HN about web design" and "people who actually do web design".
Yes, I was a speaker at DataLayer.

There are two answers to your first question.

1. Dynomite pairs well with Cassandra. At scale, Cassandra is not a speed deamon when it comes to reads. Dynomite helps to improve Cassandra's read performance.

2. The use case for Dynomite as the primary database is for workloads that require high throughput and low latency. In other words, Dynomite delivers consistently lower latency at any scale.

That's not really a flaw of netflix, is it? If you believe it is, I'd love to understand your reasoning.
I've done a bunch of little freelance stuff. Money is always great, and I'd follow the advice already given if that's what you're looking for.

On the other hand, it might be worth considering a trade for labor for whatever it is they sell. When I go this route, I usually end up getting way more in trade than I would have in cash. But again, this is only if they're selling something that you may want.
Google Project to Combat Disease-Carrying Mosquitoes
it seems that it wasn't forwarding that caused an issue, but rather its interaction with another new feature. For sure, Yahoo deserves more trust than what this article is giving it.
Housing assistance is not the same thing as cash. Also, assisting poor families so they can raise their kids with more stability is not the same thing as just handing out money.

The US needs to be doing a lot more for families than it currently does. We also need to actively work to solve the extreme lack of affordable housing generally.

I don't understand how you are confusing housing assistance for poor families with minor children with just giving people money. These are very different things.

Edit: I will add that we need to be doing more for families simply because they have minor children, completely unrelated to their income level. One of the problems in the US is that so much assistance is tied to being poor. This creates the nightmare situation we have where you have to continue to fail so you can continue to qualify for assistance. Assistsnce should be based on having human needs -- like a medical crisis or a dependent child or a handicap -- not on your income or lack thereof. This approach is generally more common in Europe and it is a more effective social safety net than one defined mostly by income level.
When I first read that it was making these requests here in the comments, my reaction was similar. But then upon reflection, I don't think there's a problem for the author here. Why? Because all I did was click the link. Meaning if I was behind a corporate firewall or the like, this sort of thing could be happening all the time and unless I was always tracing requests in my browser or via MITM or logging DNS, I'd have no way of knowing.

Personally I view this as a browser and/or protocol issue (the kind that has trickled down from the origins of the web) and really can't fault the author for it. In fact I think it's appropriate the author left these requests in as it reflects an actual attack scenario better perhaps.
Btrees in postgres have no visibility information, MVCC is implemented on the heap level.
Math is about given the definition and understand the results through consistency. For example, given the set of Maxwell's equation and a set of boundary condition, figuring out or understanding the solution -- that is mathematics. So as a mathematician, you would like to have the definition (assumption) and equation, which provides the clear (mathematical) picture.

But physics is different. Physics is about the question whether those assumption (including many hidden assumption) can be wrong and how to interpret the mathematical equation even when the equation gives confirmed results. So Maxwell's equations is not a clear picture on what the light is. Maxwell's equation just describes one aspect of how light behave under one set of assumptions. There are other aspects of light and there are different set of maths that physicists tried to describe them. There are physics intuition on what light is, but that is subjectively dependent on which physicist you are asking. In physics, there is simply no mathematically equivalent of "clear picture" where you simply just accept what is given and go from there. In physics, it is "what is given" in question.
SCSU and BOCU-1 can both help a lot with that last point. They're two standard methods of compressing unicode strings that are primarily in a single language—obviously it's not as good as lz4 or gzip or other general-purpose compression algorithms, but it also doesn't increase the size so is ideal for up to ~a few kb.
Maybe the errors in the article are more a statement of how complicated and improperly communicated Unicode was... and mostly still is! While I think I understand most of how UTF-8 works, I still have to read and re-read how codepoints and planes and encodings and decodings work together. It's a pretty complicated beast that could very easily be misunderstood when it was less popular than it is now.

It's still widely misunderstood today.
My issue isn't so much the pain of entry — although it is a pain — as the fact that Google Maps provides better directions, taking into account current traffic conditions, than my car's system.

OTOH, my car's system knows about highway amenities like food & gas, and has a neat feature where it displays a preview of what certain turns look like.

I would love to integrate them somehow.

It's the full Redis API and protocol. See https://github.com/Netflix/dynomite/blob/dev/notes/redis.md for a list of all supported Redis features.

The benefit of Dynomite's support for the Redis API + protocol is a.) you can use any Redis client and b.) the same code can be used for standalone Redis on your laptop and on a distributed Dynomite cluster.
Not only that but you will find some people in the US go though ridiculous mental gymnastics to claim that money makes no difference to education. While at the same to they put huge effort into moving into a neighbor with high spending on schools.

It is not enough to defend privileged with taxation, institutions and laws but they must use astounding double-think to convince themselves that the result is somehow fair. Part of that self-indoctrination is putting huge effort into convincing everyone around them of these absurd views.

The PDR article doesn't mention any link between them, but Clarke's illustrations look very influenced by Aubrey Beardsley to me. I find both interesting as examples of the kind of thing that minimalist/modernist aesthetics both destroyed and grew out of (in the sense that Beardsley and Clarke both display the Victorian horror vacui and love of ornamentation, but also experiment with huge swathes of empty space):
