I have to admit, I'm not familiar with that¹. Do you have a link to a paper or something; I could ask our layout team.

But probably the answer will be that few customers asked so far and/or it might be fairly easy to accomplish with customizing one of the existing layout algorithms. We did something similar with our example BPMN implementation where a pre-processing step applied constraints for the hierarchic layout based on the node/edge types in the diagram. The vast majority of things customers ask of us are actually fairly easy to implement without necessarily having them in the library. So we have very few layout algorithms that are applicable to exactly one kind of diagram (family trees are an exception, but even that is just a wrapper around a more general-purpose algorithm).

The advantage is that there are very many knobs and configuration options to fiddle with to get the layout you want. The disadvantage is that there are very many knobs and configuration options to fiddle with, where having special layouts for certain types of graphs might be easier but not as flexible.

In the end, it's a library and the users (from our perspective) are developers and those shouldn't shy away from writing some code. It would be nice to also appeal to people who just want some data laid out nicely. To some extent that works already², but such wishes have to be balanced with what people are willing to pay for :-)

¹ Happens often with very domain-specific graphs; last thing mentioned I didn't know was some kind of diagram to describe pipes, valves, and water flows in buildings.

Does anyone know of other cities / areas using this type of pricing? It sounds like this is pretty new, and I'd be interested in seeing any research / studies on the long term impact of this kind of pricing.

I could see how it is both useful and could have a disproportionate, negative impact on lower social-economic classes.
Does there exist any input method that doesn't require sight other than physical keys? If so, I'm not aware of any.

I think "always async" is the main advantage of node.

My general (perhaps wrong) impression is that other languages commonly used in backends are moving toward async io, usually through maturing libraries.
This kind of broken reasoning is common in certain communities. Example: this programming language is broken, it can't be used to write drivers for the Linux kernel!
> I think its significantly better than Java and has received much better support form Microsoft than the Java eco system and the JVM has from Oracle.

Several of these papers that you are giving as evidence for Microsoft's better investment are actually about research done into the JVM, by Oracle.

I would guess, but can't really prove, that Oracle invests more money into VM research than anyone else in the world.
Something that is in the process of happening, iirc.

Linux is turning into something of a hybrid kernel, or perhaps will emerge a micro-kernel given time.
Given today's plentiful tech resources, it only makes sense to record video and audio of every surgery. These would be useful for accountability as well as refinement of technique and protocol. The added cost would be negligible.
How long does a DPF last? Replacing a catalytic converter is a rare maintenance item on a car. Most of the time they last the lifetime of the vehicle. In fact the only person I know who had to replace one had it stolen from under his car while he was parked on a city street.

JSON.parse() is one issue we faced regularly. Any large amount of data fetching could block the event loop and the whole server slows down. It's very unforgiving.

We go great length to figure out which attributes to fetch and add limits to all our sql queries. These are best practices but with node they are must.
This is hardly a free market. The government has a monopoly on building roads and they unilaterally set the prices.
The language doesn't matter, but the ecosystem does. It is when it comes to "non-CRUD apps" that an ecosystem will really start to matter. One is probably not better than the other but getting started is hard.

Take the case of Node and JavaScript itself. The ecosystem is huge. The tooling is complex. A newbie starting out will not even be able to get many examples to run without a mesh of transpilers and build tools. There are roadblocks everywhere; what's the type annotation there? What's with the strange JSX syntax? What's a transpiler? Add to that, EcmaScript itself is a moving target, more so than any other language.

Similar issues exist in other languages. C# is a simple language to master, .Net is a huge ecosystem. There's not going to be a lot of resistance moving from C# to F#. But for the newbie, the challenges are daunting. Should you use Microsoft's preferred ORM which ships with .Net or write your own SQL? Which UI tooling should I use? There is plenty of advice on the web, yet it needs an experienced developer to make those decisions.

Consider this. if you chose SilverLight a few years back, your product is soup today.

Picking an ecosystem is not easy. Has never been.

From what you say, it seems to me you don't use opera, but the chrome skin they decided to keep the name of the actual browser for marketing reasons.

I use opera since version 8.5 and I had to pin the v12.16 package to keep using it, which I still do today because there is no alternative to the features it had. And I have no idea what you are talking about, the whole opera supporters who supported it through the years pretty much agree the blink based opera sucks really hard and are happy to have vivaldi as an attempt to get back the awesomeness opera lost when it switched to making profit first.

I have personally made two prototypes for people using the Edison plus a the amazing add-ons from sparkfun. The integrated wifi and bluetooth are great, and once you are done setting it up, you end up with a battery stacked on an Edison, so a full blown computer with wifi and bluetooth you can switch on and stick anywhere you can fit two thumbs.
It's going to be one of the last jobs to be automated because it has a massive amount of client facing/relationship work and despite your disdain for it, the fact is that it is more complex and demanding than the vast majority of white collar jobs out there. It also is an extremely small industry in terms of actual headcount, probably 150K worldwide

We've had plenty of stuff like NLP for 10-Ks and management calls but the job has been relatively unchanged overtime save for the introduction of CapIQ, Bloomberg and Excel. Which isn't to say that it can't change, but that it probably won't happen anytime soon.

It wasn't working 100%, at least. The dynamic pricing is supposed to keep traffic moving at a speed of at least 45MPH. I was going southbound past them at Tysons Corner and they were nearly at a standstill. Which means these high prices were too low!
Yes. $30 seems like a lot to me for this and it's kind of shocking, but we're not talking about price gouging for food, water, or some basic necessity. We're raising the price of toll lanes specifically built as express lanes and funded through these tolls. They just get people home faster than the regular lanes.

Additionally, I suspect that in these conditions if they charged the regular prices, so many people would take the express lanes that they would slow to a crawl like the rest of the road, frustrating their purpose.
Very easy... finish paramedic school. EMS is the perfect antidote for a lifetime of sedentary computer programming. Plus, you get to work with people - or at least you'd better learn how to work with people.
Prices are set dynamically based on usage, and there is competition from the free lanes that run parallel and serve the same locations.

I've been using it for a number of year and love it. Very rarely do i have any complications with it. My biggest complaint is the number of other apps that don't integrate the password manager into their logins so i have to go into 1p separately to get the password—its a minor hassle, but annoying when all you want to do is log into some rarely-used app.

The principle of supply and demand can exist outside of the context of a free market. As long as there's some mechanism to set the price based on a balance of the two variables.
1. Why would planets be required at all, if the universe was uniformly warm?

2. My microwave oven also heats things to the melting point of water, but I would not call it hospitable to life.
They built those roads specifically to be express lanes, and fund them via these tolls. Similar to the Triboro Bridge in New York, built to help commuters get to Manhattan faster/MUCH easier and infeasible to build without charging tolls.

It also doesn't seem like they tried to fix the real issue. From all accounts, their platform is easier to create content on but was that really the pain point?

There are lots of people who enjoy creating content but would like there to be some ability to have the chance to grow into their full time gig. Additionally, there is so much content out there that discovery is a real problem. But they took a direct approach and just put ads on the page but you need huge scale to get big money. I wonder if people would pay for a Medium "subscription" if what their site did was recommend three articles each day that you are likely interested in. (Obviously using some kind of ML to slowly learn your areas of interest and writers you prefer). The content creators get a cut based on views and ratings (maybe?), which circles back to better content. Once you have tons of awesome content, people will always pay.

The above is not fully baked, just thinking aloud....
Probably the only informed answer would come from the mods. They can be reached using the |contact| link below.
Wonder if there will be any exemptions for high occupancy or EVs or whatever. Not necessarily saying there should be, but wouldn't be the first time a 'special' lane has exemptions.
Yup. The inheritors of wealth and other rich people get to ride fast on nearly-empty roads, and the rest of the population has to be crammed onto fewer, slower roads, causing a positive feedback loop.

Works just as intended, provided you're one of the ones who can afford it.

Snark aside, "supply and demand" fails to fairly set price when the demand is inelastic -- e.g. when people need to drive home in the snow after work, and there are limited other options. As for the toll road being built "for that purpose," remember when the government was supposed to build roads for all it citizens, not just those who could afford it?

A couple names that come to mind as successful new publishing type entities examples could include FiveThirtyEight and GrantLand. Case studies more than full business models in my opinion.
Even so, I like to keep the imports local so I only have to change one reference to a custom-wrapped version if/when the need arises. I have a lib file to act as a manifest of components, and while most are mine, there are also some "export {Grid} from 'react-bootstrap'" type things in there.
It wasn't due to demand though. It was due to price being calculated by sensors that detect lane speed. The lane was ridiculously slowed by two snow trucks, so it computed a high price.

That said, it's probably reasonable snow trucks get extremely high priority.
supply and demand can also dictate a 5c/hr wage. or 10k for a black market kidney. doesn't mean it's the end all truth or that it's the best way to go

The alternative is trusting ME with all those passwords, which is far more dangerous. Because I'm neither going to do a good job of creating passwords, nor of remembering them, so I'm going to end up using the same shitty password on every site I care about.
Almost before anyone cites supply/demand:

> the company (said) two salt and plow trucks were working on the southbound Express Lanes on I-495 and I-95, causing traffic to slow and increasing the toll on those lanes.

So no one was going anywhere because of salting and plowing yet the tolls were unaffected and they increased the premium - which would have changed... nothing.

Personally, I've been working lately on building an ESP8266/VS1053 based webradio into my nice old wooden 1960s radio. I'm using the variable plate capacitor for the AM tuner as input for channel selection, so for all the world it will look like a still-working FM tuner. Total BOM cost will be <$30.

Right, traffic density increased without a corresponding increase in throughput.

These toll lanes were built and are managed by an Australian company, Transurban. In the linked article it mentions that sensors in the toll lanes adjust prices relative to demand.
I'd love to get more information on this. Is it largely a lack of willing pilots? What are the political obstacles you've encountered?
Some of the highways in and out of Minneapolis, MN have HOV lanes with this kind of pricing model. It currently maxes out at $8.

You did not do much web development then, did you?
It was not "reference implementation", most of the nice things were not implemented at all and many that were there were buggy.
And even if the box model makes more sense it was still a bug because it did not behave as the spec say. Or rather did not behave under some conditions. Lucky are the people who forgot or never new the joys of standards/quirks/whatever-in-between modes.
> As node.js is not multi-threaded, we spin up 4 instances of node.js per server, 1 instance per CPU core. Thus, we cache in-memory 4 times per server.

And why not use a shared memory server?

> Operations started adding rules with 100,000s of domains, which caused a single set of rules to be about 10mb large ... If we weren’t using node.js, we could cut this bandwidth by 4 as there would only be one connection to the Redis cluster retrieving rule sets.

Maybe a 10mb json string isn't the best design decision.....

Or you know, you could have one node process connect to the Redis server, and have the local processes read from a shared memory server.. Or you could not store your rules as a 10mb friggin JSON string..

> When rule sets were 10mb JSON strings, each node.js process would need to JSON.parse() the string every 30 seconds. We found that this actually blocked the event loop quite drastically

Well then do it in another thread and save it to shared memory. Maybe, just maybe, JSON strings aren't the tool for the job here.
There's a lot of variety in electronic music. Lots of the popular stuff isn't great in my opinion but I find it hard to believe that you wouldn't like any of it.
I think for a SaaS, the most important aspect of validating demand is if anyone is willing to pay for your product. I didn't use Mashape (I tried, but they kept churning their product which turned me off), but that might be a good way to validate.

I ended up giving the service away for free, but officially stated that the $10/mo tier was free during beta, and if you wanted more to subscribe at $50/mo. I got enough actual revenue out of that to justify continuing.
I was just thinking yesterday that I wish there was some way to "call in" with a time to have the toll removed when car pooling.
FM works, and doesn't need any addition when you increase the number of listeners. I don't get it. Why throw away millions of perfectly fine radios?
So stupid, I am completely against this.
Everyone needs the EZ Pass to use, but drivers in cars with three or more people in them do ride for free, incentivizing carpooling.
It depends on many things, like car type, usage, maintenance (or lack of it) and for sure on what is the lifetime of a car? How many km/mi? For you it might be eg. 300k but have you checked the manufacturer's specs?
Well, you _can_ do screen mirroring with Cast, at least on Android. In my experience though it has fairly high latency and will occasionally freeze for a few seconds at a time.

I find this question kind of hard to answer, because there are so many things I'd love to try. Though I'm an introvert, I'd love to try bar tending or waiting tables for the social aspect of it. I'd love to try out really small scale farming or herding goats to get away from tech entirely. Law (tax or business law, not something like criminal) is fascinating to me too.

If I was really forced to choose, though, it would be art or writing. The idea of capturing ideas and feelings, or creating worlds, characters and stories in visual or word form has a lot of appeal to me. That's probably why I make video games as a hobby.

The crazy thing is, AFAIK, it's based on real-time demand on the expressway itself and makes it more expensive when that is more crowded. So you get to pay more, just to drive behind other people. You'd think it would be slightly different, where if it's clearer than the road it's bypassing and traffic on that road is really slow, then raise the price.
I would be a modern day philosopher/thinker (like Taleb, Dawkins, Harris). I would start with the classics and read everything, learn ancient Greek, Aramaic, as well as Italian, French and German (maybe Russian also, who knows)

I would study the first proof in mathematics all the way up through modern probability theory.

I would throw away my cell phone and do all of this work from a nice modern loft in the Trastevere neighborhood of Rome - starting every morning with an espresso, and ending it with good food and two bottles of Red French or Italian wine.

Did you read the entire article? He makes a point to discuss expectation values as the metric to judge the seriousness of addressing a nuclear event, not the statistical probability value

> Perry wishes more people were familiar with the concept of “expected value.” That is a statistical way of understanding events of very large magnitude that have a low probability. The large magnitude event could be something good, like winning a lottery ticket. Or it could be something bad, like a nuclear bomb exploding. Because the odds of winning the lottery are so low, the rational thing is to save your money and not buy the ticket. As for a nuclear explosion, by Perry’s lights, the consequences are so grave that the rational thing would be for people in the United States and everywhere to be in a state of peak alarm about their vulnerability, and for political debate to be dominated by discussion of how to reduce the risk.
