https://www.ventusky.com seems to do the best job as it relates to wind. It gives you both wind speed and wind gusts. (For future visitors, I'm currently tracking Hurricane Irma)

Both https://earth.nullschool.net and https://www.windy.com don't appear to have options for wind gusts. So the wind speeds appear much lower than what all the news agencies are reporting right now (180-185mph peak). I get a high of about 75mph in the eye.

windy.com also forces you to register in order to save settings. A bit odd since their Android app doesn't request this AND it's also free of ads and Google Frameworks requirements.

Nullschool doesn't appear to have a settings section at all except for changing language. So metric only...

My fav right now is VentuSky. Sadly... no Android app. I'm not aware of any other similar ones.
It's rare that a company has spikes of that sort that can't be handled in far more mundane ways. Most companies do not operate at a scale that merits this sort of solution.

Look at the engineering blogs on LinkedIn for the reasoning behind creating it. It's over-kill for most use cases.
Great. Thanks. I was not aware of this.
Ask HN: How can pick reliable sources of climate change advice?
I am slowly coming round to the realisation that the most important thing to work on might be reducing the effect of climate change, or helping others do that.

To work out what to work on, I need to know more about the problems. My background is software developer.

How do I find sources that are reliable?

How do I pick books to read? Are there known, agreed, books that are important?

Are there existing projects that I should look into contributing to?
How do you define "proper IPv6 support"? AWS certainly has considerable support for IPv6 today:

In all fairness, only one of the (here) spoken applications are actually open, and able to even remotely be referred to as a competing standard.

That comic would be more applicable if we were all debating XMPP vs Matrix.
Taxes are too high in Quebec. Also, not sure people in Montreal want to be dominated by Amazon and have it turn into some new Amazon-centric tech hub. It is doing relatively well without a megacorp there.
I suppose that is fair enough, and I don't think there is anything wrong with it being one of the ways in which companies assess potential candidates.

From my recent experience (and anecdotal evidence) it seemed it was becoming a deal breaker for companies but maybe I reached that conclusion too quickly.
:) On a serious note, every other kind of shrimp I have tasted besides "northern prawn" (Pandalus Borealis) is just meh in comparison. To clarify: the rest of the culinary world use non-tasteful shrimp as taste carriers. Meanwhile, north sea shrimp are.. the primary source of taste, here.

I think you will be surprised when you eventually taste it!

That surströmming thing is mainly a bravado thing our northern people do. It's good for headlines and machoism both, which is why it has survived, I guess.
iOS is not a toxic ecosystem, I love the OS they also have far superior hardware. Sure, lacking a headphone jack is annoying, but I can live with that. I can't live with Android phones using inferior CPU's and GPU's. I also wouldn't want to use Google's horribly over-engineered OS.
I still can't find the actual book. Too bad.

You can definitely do microservices that way but in reality they tend to be more granular both functionality wise and density-wise.

With old skool SOA you'd typically have a monolith app with a bunch of endpoints. With microservices, especially in a containerized environment they tend to be more lightweight.
Music is one of the most logical things out there. It either sounds good (to you), or it doesn't. If it doesn't sound good to you, you change it until it does.

In your research, you might want to look into people who only play physical instruments, versus people who record and use DAWs to compose and put songs together on their computers. The latter is even closer to programming than just thinking about music theory, and a lot of people might be interested in learning how to do it.
#2 really isn't bogus, at least in the way you described it. In the video, he mentions that he broke the screen two or three times in trying to get everything to fit. Now that everything fits, what happens if he drops it? Could Apple engineer up a way to prevent a high failure rate on the LCD display? Maybe, but there's no way to know.

On top of this, the author had to remove the "barometric vent". I don't find a lot of use in having an altimeter or barometer in my smartphone, but I do know that some apps take advantage of it (Dark Sky). Apple probably wants it to push some activity tracking feature, like the number of steps you've taken.
I read this as "It's ridiculous, I just bought a Tesla and i can't even fill it with Diesel anymore."

in other words, innovation = having to dump old "features".

You're correct that there's a lot more overlap with the gamer space, but that's not limiting them right now or in the future. They'd be wise to court other communication needs.

It doesn't take a master of etiquette not to send a recruiter a 4-paragraph explanation of the finer points of POSIX v. UNIX. "I'm right and I'm going to explain to you exactly why whether it's relevant or not" is not generally a good attitude to have in the business world, even if you're working for Facebook.

I thought it was because there's a lot about http that's overhead and/or tough to get right, which can then be delegated to the server.

Also, websockets actually map pretty badly to http, conceptually, and fit zeromq much better IMO.

Looks like their page on "security" completely misunderstands what computer security means. They write long-winded paragraphs only about data integrity and backup issues, and completely ignore any issues around actual attackers trying to compromise their system.
Is this cheaper than growing wood and turning it into charcoal? That doesn't take energy (in fact you get some out), it only takes time and land.
Highland Clearances were complex but get retold as: "rich people stole land from poor people" often.

This is where I think we need to treat history differently from current events, because concepts like ownership, title, rights and such are ultimately subjective outside an agreed legal context. Obviously, there is disagreement here.

I don't know much about that period, but there are countless examples of similar things.

The system of land ownership was at one point, tribal (clannish). tribes controled lands and chiefs control tribes, rights to the land negotiated custom and familial means. Chiefs became lords. Tribesmen, tenants. Titles, privelages and customs changed.

Eventually, the lords became modern peope, industrial era capitalists. Economies became monetary. Clans ceased to exist. Titles became wealth. Tenants became squatters.

I think it's hard to follow the history, while maintaining a modern sense of property.

I can certainly see how people view the scottish peasant class as having a moral claim to the property.

My own take on the subtle influence techniques is that if you are aware of them they don't work.

I sat at a car dealership the other day listening to the conversations between sales people and customers and found the subtle forms of influence very interesting. A lot of car salesman tropes, too, of course.
I sense a lot of dismissive response, mostly it seems from people who didn't read the article. For what it's worth, of my friends who did psychedelics, they were much more likely (even the fairly strong-minded ones) to come out of the experience trying to articulate the following ideas:

- Everything is connected
- I'm a piece of the larger system
- Inanimate objects have feelings / matter

Of course I reject all of these notions as clumsy to absurd.
I am biased, but call me underwhelmed. It seems that with every "new" feature, nginx is copying Apache httpd, even now claiming to be the "swiss army knife" of web-servers. Embedded languages. Dynamic modules. Support of uWSGI. gracefull restarts. Thread pools... and yet people eat it up. Just goes to show what having corporate-backed marketing and PR can do.

I'd have given Apple the benefit of the doubt if they opened up the W1 chip to other Bluetooth headphone vendors. So far... nothing. Just the AirPods and Beats, along with proprietary Lightning garbage. This was very clearly a user-hostile power grab, and yet people like Gruber keep rolling their eyes at the notion that the headphone jack might still be useful to many people. And what about the things you can no longer do with any dongle, such as headphone use with simultaneous data transfer? My Apogee JAM sits gathering dust because I simply can't use it with my iPhone 7.

I'm not exactly mad at Apple, but I'm starting to think that maybe Android will be the way to go for my next upgrade cycle. It's been a while since I played around with a new OS!
Machine Learning for Humans, Part 5: Reinforcement Learning
It's very nice to hear progress on the C++ all the time. On the other hand, I cannot find any news on the C2x progress, as if C did not evolve.
We run grpc-web with a big single-page VueJS app on the frontend. That way, Go is just the Api server, and the frontend handles all the routing and stuff.
Most of the top questions I've asked on Stack Overflow are related to missed optimizations in C (or C++, but I'll skip those here):

- https://stackoverflow.com/questions/23055704/why-cant-gcc-op...

- https://stackoverflow.com/questions/26052640/why-does-gcc-im...

- https://stackoverflow.com/questions/18951520/gcc-optimizatio...

But my favorite is this one:

- https://stackoverflow.com/questions/26053934/is-it-feasible-...

That one is now optimized in GCC and Clang: (isnan(x) || isnan(y)) becomes a single instruction on x86.

Some of these are very tricky, but the isnan pairing one is simple, and quite useful for some math routines whose first order of business is finding NaNs.
My money would be on D.C. Lots of access to government agencies that could add a lot of AWS business, a major concentration of highly-skilled tech workers and colleges, close to the Washington Post, and a lot of up and coming neighborhoods in the southwest/southeast quadrants of the city. Also wouldn't hurt that it's on the opposite side of the country to add some geographic diversity.

XRA is using SDF's in his game, Memory of a Broken Dimension, for a few different effects.

It's definitely getting easier, but I still wouldn't even consider C++ without valgrind or similar watching over my back; and I've been writing C++ since 1995. Accessing a variant value as the wrong type, dereferencing empty smart pointers and accessing non-existing elements in collections and many many more cases will still segfault; and I don't expect that to change since it lacks that level of security by design. That being said, it's still the most pragmatic language around; the only language that allows me to choose my own level of crazy.
I agree. I also read somewhere that talking about past behaviors (e.g. how you solved a complex issue) is the best indicator for competency (I can't back that up with sources sorry).

On a side note I also worked with RFID readers, they were yesteryear's Internet of Things :).

I agree with what you say about language evolution, but this proposal isn't just about the language—it’s also about APIs, tools, and implementation-specific features (e.g., JITs and GCs), which can evolve more flexibly than the language itself.
Few years back, had a knock on the door. Dude was there, said that he built our staircase, and could he take a couple pictures. It was a massive open log staircase, it was pretty cool. Filled us in on where the wood was from (local).

Look back a few posts. We're discussing using UTF-8 in str and avoiding the unicode type in Python 2.

I'n my use case I validate the string as UTF-8 from the internet. To and from the database is UTF-8 so no validation is required there. Output back to the internet requires no additional steps.

Nowhere in this method is encode or decode required or desired.
You can't undo all the damage. For example coral reefs are gone for a long time once they're dead. It's also unclear whether we haven't set off, or will set off, any feedback mechanisms that make it much harder to revert the climate to preindustrial times, for example because millenia old permafrost released massive amounts of Methane.
I'll say it, and provide a source[0].

In that video, both phones are subjected to ever-increasing water depths until the S7 dies (very respectably) after five minutes at 35 feet, while the iPhone 7 continues to operate.

That suggests to me that both phones probably should have been rated IP68.

Yeah, I miss the epic length articles that used to beat the heart of WiReD Magazine too.
I agree, this is often an issue. In my company a lot of people only make specs, and the "development" for a lot of components is outsourced. But these specs are basically developed already, so in the end, we're only making the expensive developers write a spec that's so detailed that it's more work to write the detailed spec, than if you programmed it directly from a non-detailed spec.
"When shown one photo each of a gay and straight man, both chosen at random, the model distinguished between them correctly 81% of the time. When shown five photos of each man, it attributed sexuality correctly 91% of the time. The model performed worse with women, telling gay and straight apart with 71% accuracy after looking at one photo, and 83% accuracy after five. In both cases the level of performance far outstrips human ability to make this distinction. Using the same images, people could tell gay from straight 61% of the time for men, and 54% of the time for women. This aligns with research which suggests humans can determine sexuality from faces at only just better than chance."

All that really needs to happen is federal legalization. Once that's done, it doesn't matter whether pharma is behind it or not. I bet though they would quickly release all sorts of cannabinoid products. (Not everyone wants to be high/timed release doses etc)

I just checked if Trillian was working on something like this, similar to their IM/IRC/Email/FB/etc. bridging tool. Instead, they are offering more competition in this space, Trillian for Business: www.trillian.im

It doesn't help that emoji and giphy are listed as prime features in this new offering.

You're right that the applications can be used productively. I find that my work Slack is a lot less focused on being productive than the dev channels that I follow in Discord for open source projects.

The other big issue is the discussion of asynchronous versus realtime communication: https://blog.doist.com/why-were-betting-against-real-time-te...

I do find that in some Discord servers we accidentally exclude people living in different time zones, which is not as much the case with an async medium like Google Groups or other mailing lists.

> Really bad construction workers are [...] obsessed with trivial bullshit that makes no difference to anything

That describes bad employees in general. And if we bring this back around to programming, I'd absolutely expect a back end developer to know a bit about the front end, and the design, and the architecture (and help out if needed).

Here's the key difference: "[A carpenter would] never touch an electrical box or plumb out a system." Software companies, in contrast, routinely expect front end developers to design (because it's all just CSS rules), to write backends (it's the same language), and to deploy in an easily scalable fashion (because "serverless"). That is where the expectations differ.

I didn't realize the modulo operator for bytes was added. most information I've run across said it didn't work.

Unfortunately most libraries for 3 will be using str so using bytes with UTF-8 inside will become more and more difficult.

You would be able to merge your services under a single server and have them talk to each other internally sans latency overhead. It also allows you to easily scale up and down and segment things on demand.

Not sure what it is though, the overall idea doesn't sit well with me. I have very little social media presence (doesn't find me) and idk how niche profiles will be classified. (i might play around with it after my class). I'd like to know what are the pros of using stuff like this outside of research and academia.

Ok.
