I recently started mapping, and scaled the learning curve that surprised me how high it is. I downloaded streetcomplete and Vespucci for my phone, but when I came to a road (on my bike) that didn't exist on the map it wasn't obvious to me how to add it (I still don't know how to do it on either app).

When I finally hopped on my desktop computer and did the iD tutorial, a lot of things became much easier. I learned how to add roads and buildings, and started doing so. Then I noticed that my map software (osmAnd) didn't announce my freeway exits.

To figure out how to mark freeway exits properly was terrible. I found the motorway wiki page and the motorway link page, but from those pages I didn't feel like I could tag an exit properly still. When I finally found the exit_info page things made a little more sense why they are confusing: there are conflicting ways of doing it! I started tagging freeway exits near me.

One thing that would have been helpful for me (although would probably be a bit of work to implement) would be more overview-level tools. Like "I want to..." a) add a missing building, b) tag a freeway exit, c) give addresses to these buildings, etc. Granted, some of this is already done. I suppose it's really the exit tagging that is a new example.

I also have been worrying about my changes being erroneously modified by other people, without a way to "take ownership" of an area and be notified of changes- I will take a good look at that OSMCha change set tool.

"AR" comes from their original manufacturer, Armalite. The "Armalite Rifle 15" was a downsized version of the AR-10, chambered in 7.62.
Your link doesn't disprove my point. Did the LG Prada run Windows Mobile/Phone, Palm webOS or any mainstream OS for smartphones?
The money might ultimately end up in the bank account of the same company that runs veal farms, but it's still sending a trackable signal.

Same with cars, buy a Bolt or a Prius and the money still goes to GM and Toyota. But the signal it sends is pretty clear (and it's clear car companies are seeing consumers voting with their wallets).

This is how it should work. We all want change to happen quickly and we want companies who suddenly (20 years ago, milk wasn't cruel) find themselves on the wrong side of morality to be punished. But it's more reasonable (and probably better) for this to happen gradually.

That some brands are less transparent than Bolt == GM, Prius == Toyota, doesn't seem materially relevant.

(I realize you weren't necessarily passing judgement, just some facts (which I didn't know!), so I'm not saying you're wrong, I'm just injecting my opinion onto your facts).
I think you will enjoy this AI story if you already haven't read it yet. The story starts with a programmer trying to debug a program and failing. It turns out other programmers have independently discovered this bug too...

Yeah, perhaps because people thought I meant I would never use an advice given. What I meant was that I would never buy a book to get advice. Anyway...
In order for instacart to survive, it needs to partner with regional grocery chains by providing them with the 'ecommerce' side while the grocery chains provide delivery. I live in a metro area where a local chain now provides excellent delivery service (and the employed delivery people won't accept tips) and hope they succeed long term. I don't use Amazon for groceries although it might be available, and I never shop at Whole Foods because their stores are way too large. Whole Foods would dominate if they roll out 'whole foods Express' stores which would be much smaller (think 7-11) so that people can get in and out without feeling like they are walking through the Natural History Museum. Families buy the most groceries and are the most time constrained, but I'll never use instacart until they drop the whole gig-economy frontline workers as contractors bullshit.
Indeed. I once saw an ad on a local online news site (~1M daily visitors) that was a full-border (around the news stories) shock pink commercial for a diaper brand. And all the news stories were about a horrible terrorist attackvthat just happened with pretty awful images. It's a juxtaposition I will never forget, and I can't honestly believe they ever sold a single diaper more.
This is everything I wanted from micropayments. Please, take my money rather than forcibly taking my attention and shoving garbage through my brain. Too bad it has to waste electricity, but at least it's not abusing my poor, finite, distractible, distortable brain. It's not precious to anyone else, but it's precious to me.
Thanks! My google skills failed me.
I've attempted to pay for some shows and movies but after a while I've become sick of drm, slow downloads or crappy streaming. It is simply more convenient to just get it from a high quality source.
Four years after this article was written, nobody has a "monopoly on place," no monopoly has take over mapping, and OpenStreetMap is still the least convenient of many options.

At some point, vague appeals to freedom and decentralization need to be backed by evidence.

I've used both and I much prefer Gerrit over Github. I like the multiple patchset workflow, I don't have to deal with fork/opening a PR and I can actually do dependent reviews in Gerrit (if someone knows how to do this in Github, let me know!). I find Github has "too many steps".
For instance, I have a piece of code in a particularly gnarly modules that at this moment is disabled and has been for two sprints due to emergent behavior. First sprint it had adequate unit tests but not enough functional tests to exhibit a problem. Second sprint I fixed the testing deficiency and got the code to work end to end.

Or so I thought. The first time I turned it on it preprod I couldn't turn it back off again because some piece of data that came from five function calls away was being shared, and nobody who participated in the PR recalled that fact.

Most of the code I'm dealing with is in a single module. I have been chipping away at fixing the insane ball of mud as I can. My coworkers often aren't that lucky. They come to me for advice on how to deal with this sort of problem but crossing 2 or three modules.

There's no low-friction way for them to fix any of this. They can't just refactor because of the coordination costs, and also the loss of historical information when you move a block of code across module boundaries or try to change module boundaries. This is the prime argument for monorepos in the literature - not making irreversible decisions on Law of Demeter problems. It's not my biggest reason, but it's sufficient for most people.
While there's little question that the US has extended copyright protections for too long (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copyright_Term_Extension_Act), it truly baffles me that anyone could assert that copyright isn't, in the first instance, done for the sake of the creators. It costs incredible amounts of money/talent to create stories, characters, entire worlds for film or the written word. That some believe creators shouldn't have rights over original stories in order to recoup those costs still makes no sense to me. Let's reward innovation and creators for their contributions to society.

It seems to me that you may be more opposed to a seeming US monopoly on entertainment than you are to the effects of copyright law. You don't argue against the merits or lack thereof of copyrights but rather make distinctions about the US vs Europe. Don't fall victim to mood affiliation.
Very nice writeup. Also the timing couldn't be perfect. As I am also dabbling with an idea for a React Native app which would help me target both ios and Android. Thanks for sharing your experience.
Defining what is toxic besides the most obvious content seems to be an almost impossible task.

Go does have a strong, central group and in my (admittedly little) experience, they're very helpful too. But I'm just curious how the Go team scales with code reviews since this move will certainly bring in an influx of new contributors/PRs.
A comment below makes an important point that I think is worth repeating:

"The power of digital computing is the power of modular expansion of objects. Analog circuits and computers don't have that. And current trained deep learning models don't have combinability and modularity either."

A point I'd like to make: the brain exhibits properties of both digital and analog computers. It also exhibits repeating units in the neocortex which do vary but are uniform enough that neuroscientists are comfortable classifying them as discrete units within the brain.

I believe we must look to how the brain implements effective modularity in the context of analog computation in order to replicate the success of digital computers with deep nets.
I recall we have once discussed this kind of payment for articles, but back-of-the-envelope calculation showed it would take ~170 hrs to mine one cent.
I like how the old school legends prefer analog. Reminds me of Dijkstra's preference for typewriters.
There are plenty of places that want to.

What we need are less lawyers and lobbyists -- and captured markets spending our inflated fees to turn around and defeat us.
Why do I keep seeing this everywhere on the internet? There's no technical reason not to mine bitcoin on CPU.
I'm wondering if a four hour (international) train trip can really compete with air and that the inflexion point lies around the three and a half hour mark. There is a series of nice graphics from JR East (Japan Railway East) factsheet "Railway Business" http://www.jreast.co.jp/investor/factsheet/pdf/factsheet_03.... (linked from http://www.jreast.co.jp/e/investor/factsheet/index.html) that deals with this question directly of introducing a high speed rail service to compete with domestic airlines. Basically if the trip is under 3 hours expect airline market share to drop to 25% or lower. The lone four hour trip Tokyo to Hakodate, still only has 13% market share. Add on border formalities to the planned London-Amsterdam four hours and you'll move past the sweet spot and air will continue to dominate. To succeed the train will need to be even faster and probably do border formalities on the train to get nearer to 210 minutes.
Relevant talk by Google at CppCon last year focused on C++, but really talks about getting rid of versioning in general.

A decent first effort at transparency, but there's one very obvious question missing from the FAQ:

Can't help but think they omitted this on purpose.
Verizon to start locking phones, ignoring FCC restriction against doing so.
Sure, but Plex and Kodi are geared for library and collection organization. They take your files and parse filenames based on common naming patterns used in Usenet and torrent sites. Then create a beautiful collection from them.

The one off video players are more likely used for home videos or one off video files.

They got out of China which is also quite big. I just wonder what would replace it if they withdraw.
Does this allow you to file PRs against the repository you have checked out? Or does this only work for read-only use? What about CI? How do you convince TC or Jenkins or Bamboo to do the same thing?

If this does do all that, I think this functionality needs some SEO love because this pretty much never comes up when I search for the latest ways to grab part of a repo. All I find are conversations where people are trumpeting the wrong tools for the job.

Edit: Also, this doesn't seem to let me check out a subtree the way people mean "check out a subtree". When I check out 'just foo/bar/baz' I expect to have a directory called baz as my project root. Not a directory named foo with a single grandchild named baz.
Former Aetna Exec Admits Denying Care Without Reading Patient’s Records
This largely depends where you are - day-care for our child costs us €200/month, in Finland.

Though we use washable diapers I suspect the cost-savings aren't as large as predicted as washing-machines are pretty hungry when it comes to electricity, and we run ours at least once a day.
I guess the "disturbing content that exploits children" is those "5 supermans racing bikes" type videos. But how is "disturbing" a problem? That means the adults watching are confused or afraid of some unknown. But does it do any harm to children? It sounds way too similar to the old fights against violence in videogames and swear words in music, or even color TV. I think when people become parents they go hunting for things they worry might disturb their child and want to censor the whole world just in case.

Most of the bitcoin network’s mining power is tied up in ASICs right now, and the difficulty has gone up to keep the block rate constant. A CPU just can’t keep up. There was a time when GPUs could, but now they can’t either.

It’s technically possible, I mean nothing is stopping you from running mining code on your machine right now, but you would have little to no return on your electricity investment. Monero makes more sense.

To put this in perspective, a modern desktop CPU will do anywhere from 10 to 20 megahashes per second. A single ASIC will do 4 terahashes and up. The single ASIC is getting so many more bites at the pie that you would literally never mine a single block. Every single simultaneous Salon user could leave their browser open and the ASIC would out-hash their combined compute power in the blink of an eye. The developer time they’re spending on implementing this scheme would be better allocated by buying ASICs themselves!
Postman to html documentation generator, need PR to support nested collection
As an aside to this, I find it astonishing that you even still see packaged games on the shelf. The last couple of games I bought from a retailer were just a carboard box, a dvd sleeve inside and a business card with a download link on it inside that... No need to pay a markup for literally nothing.
Home videos is an edge case use for Kodi and Plex. They have built in integration with services like IMDb for goodness sake. They don't even have good interfaces for namings and cataloging home videos. Getting custom stuff into Plex is basically kind of hacky. Not nearly as easy as dropping in a movie and letting it sync all the info from imdb automatically.
Z Intepreter Source for CoCo Recovered
Agreed. One of my pet peeves are projects that gleefully point out all of the issues that other projects face ('Not ACID compliant! Bound by CAP theorem! Difficult replication!') then present themselves as magical solutions free of all trade-offs.
I want my cut!

I've been pushing this idea for over a year now (as my HN and other social media comment histories can attest), most recently:

I should have patented this when I first had it.

Waiting for streaming music and video to embed mining in their players...

Or websites pooling together to stabilizing income streams and provide bulk access.

The idea to rent computer time to a publisher in exchange for content can be taken further.
Lots of very useful tips there. Especially about Elastic Block Store (EBS) and persistent disks, before reading this article i didn't know much about EBS. Very useful. Thanks for sharing. I learned AWS here, it might useful for community here: https://mindmajix.com/aws-training
Gotta say OSM has been mostly amazing to work with, but there have been a few quirks over the years. A few times the direction on one directional streets have been wrong, and when I corrected it, using our GIS data as evidence, my correction was denied because I had to physically go take a picture of the street.

They have to guard against abuse, and they can't necessarily accept that you're an authority on any particular location. It's easier if they demand the same proof from everyone.

That said, demanding a photo of the location seems pretty stupid. If your goal is to vandalize the OSM database, how hard can it be to Photoshop a few bogus street signs?

Telling people who have already licensed the movie in any territory that they must stop because $newlocale could resolve beautifully at $7 a showing for 5 in 4K VR, or that they need to go fund the footwork of censoring it for DPRK in 2018Q3 is evil.

I keep hearing the tooling argument in discussions about monorepos, and I'm not entirely sure what is missing in this area when compared to projects with multiple repositories.

Tools like Pants[1] or Lerna[2] solve a lot of the issues related to builds and dependency management.

What exactly are you missing _today_ that prevents your organization from adopting a monorepo approach?

Take a look at the dep[1] tool. It allows you to ship your project with all of its dependencies included. This means that only your source is needed to build your application/package.

The Gopkg.toml/Gopkg.lock files in dep are quite similar to Rust's Cargo.toml/Cargo.lock files. I think it's a good move as Rust has probably the best package management story out there.

Also, as the other comment mentioned, github.com is not "special" in any way. Any website with a git repo will work just as well. In fact, some key libraries are served from golang.org/x/<whatever>[2] not github.com.

I am sorry to hear you had a bad experience. I have never encountered that kind of grumpiness from a user in my eight years of OSM editing, so I personally don't feel that it is overpoliced. And no editor is obliged to revert a change if the editor can simply explain how it was a correct one.
Isn't the point of the article that you need less tooling with monorepos, not more (examples given: cross-repo changes, code searching, git bisect, dependency management).

Now, you might be referring to the fact that Facebook and Google have built up lots of tooling to help git/hg scale since their repos are too large and operations take too long. But that is not a problem you're going to have until you have at least a thousand engineers. At that size you need tooling for everything anyways.
Is it really everything you want? Because one thing that I can imagine wanting with micropayments is transparency about how much you are paying...
Proving to advertisers that the targets are real humans must have some value. I imagine fb somewhere shares a stat that's basically "n% of users personal details are verified with a valid ID!". IE, "dear advertisers, your ads are targeting real humans. We promise."
Doesn't history become a mess with Monorepos?
Fair enough. So, why doesn't facebook allow chronological ads?
I was opinionated, not judgemental ;)

>> Of course there are exceptions. So what?

So then we have move to a discussion about each child's circumstances on its own merits, rather trying to make one size fit all. And I would argue that this is what parents are already doing in their millions. If so many parents are deciding that their kids' best option is day-care I believe this must be correct in the majority of cases.
I am guessing the ReactNative choice was for fun/learning since the author didn’t target Android. But is there a toolchain that can convert Torch or TensorFlow models to an Android-compatible ML framework?
They aren't just players. They are way more than that. They are specifically made to organize and display large collections of movies and TV shows. VLC or wmp doesn't have an integration with IMDb to download all the titles, descriptions and cover art for movies based on their Usenet/torrent standard naming conventions.

I'm not saying there aren't plenty of legal uses for Kodi and Plex, I'm just saying that people aren't paying for a Plex pass or spending countless hours on Kodi to catalog their personal home videos.

Neither program is even well suited to that. There isnt even an easy to use interface on either for including custom content.

But drop in a file names the.big.bang.theory.s05e11.720p.brrip.mkv and they both know exactly what to do.
There's a few places that keep track of this data, http://carsalesbase.com/european-car-sales-data/bmw/bmw-i8/ for one. I have seen sales figures for most brands shown publicly, so I don't think it's something they keep to themselves.
Ya, probably so. YouTube is not even an officially supported service for Kodi. You have to install a 3rd party plugin.
Yeah, I sympathize—that's a tough situation.

I think there's two ways you can look at your choice of configuration: ease of debugging, and ease of organization. When Google lays out why they use a monorepo, they are doing so because it simplifies their organization—there are no longer so many versions of so many libraries and apps they need to support; there's only one version of anything to support. Either everything works or everything fails.

But in your case, you're looking at it from the debugging point of view. It's easier to play around with the code in a monorepo. And that's totally fair point of view to have, particularly in your predicament.

That choice of a monorepo doesn't necessarily improve the quality of your code organization and interoperability. It's still going to be a bad bug to fix. It's just a little bit easier to debug.
Yeah are.na is great!
Is that really much worse than what advertisers are paying?

I'm only kind of kidding.
