Most of the article talks about walking, and making cities more walkable. This isn’t about public transport.

The housing problems and transport problems in many cities are both symptoms of the same urban planning decisions; in a nutshell it’s about zoning regulations.

The actual site link is buried at the very bottom of the long post, so here it is, in case you are looking to see just the site (like I was)

https://contentsnare.com

I had the same exact problem this site solves. Built a website for my Boxing Trainer (for free) with content placeholder and a landing page video. He never gave me the content like Services, Testimonials, Certifications etc... for months at end, despite a lot of pestering from my end and despite servicing a lot of happy clients who were only too glad to provide testimonials.

Then he TXT-ed me one day and said that a Gym that was looking to hire him told him that his website looks "empty" and he was mad at me.
He does a fair bit of down climbing too, he has described it as the most important skill for free soloing before
> companies may discriminate against those candidates because they lack that industry specific skills (that otherwise could easily be picked up).

What does "otherwise" mean, here? The context we were discussing is that they asked you to quickly pick it up in a take-home assignment, and you couldn't pick it up that quickly. I don't see how this is them being shortsighted; it sounds like you just not delivering on the promise of your "fundamentals".

> the tooling or frameworks change but the core theory does not.

I 100% agree: someone who learnt MVC with Smalltalk in 1979 won't have any trouble picking up Rails' or Django's or whatever's version today. The concepts are timeless.

edit: to boil it down:

> these people should be able to pick up whatever tooling or frameworks on the job.

Yes, and if they can, they won't have trouble picking it up in the process of writing a take-home assignment. If they can't do that, then they just failed a litmus test.
I will share the suggestion shared by "Jack ma", the founder of alibaba group.

He said, To become an entrepreneur "One should work for small companies, generally in big companies, you are part of the big machine, but in small companies, you do most of the work your self and learn it".

So, it depends on what you want to be, if you plan to put your self in stable career without much of risk involved - go ahead with big companies.

If you want to be part of next future companies, where you can learn much more about the process of how company works and other information, start with smaller high growth company.

The only thing that will differ be efforts to sustain and keep rolling upwards for self and the company both in small company, while in big company, you will have primary focus on your self to keep up with the company.
agreed, I appreciate the link.
The "Neon" demo displayed the horribly limiting nature of the device. The AR aspect is great, but to have to see it through the lens of the device and to have to occupy both hands to interact whilst full-bodily moving around the space makes it seem quite "cacky" (I can't explain what I mean by cacky, but it sounds like what I mean).

It's like playing a shooter game in the real world, but having to have the device pointing in the right direction in order to see what's actually there. Like using a torch in pitch blackness (Doom 3). This is where a Google Glass / VR-style headgear kind of interface would be perfect.

But since this is all just in "tech demo" stage, I'm probably being too critical. It is "cool".

Tertiary worry: AR advertising.

There's a video where an experienced pianist's eyes were tracked and compared to a less experienced player's. The experienced person had much less eye movement and displayed what might also be called a quiet eye. Both players were already familiar with the piano piece, so there's a difference here when compared to sports where there is an element of randomness (ex. tennis - is the serve going to go left right?).

I'd be interested to see if there's a difference between the "ultimate" quiet eye in procedural tasks (piano, free throw) vs tasks that have randomness (returning a serve, saving a goal).

Perhaps one difference is in the accept-respond loop you mentioned, with the procedural tasks being able to be reduced far greater than the random tasks. Say if a random task was reduced too far, you might get something like goalkeepers jumping in the wrong direction.

To expand on your point, the most interesting library I’ve seen for desktop GUIs in Rust is “relm”. It’s as the name implies an FRP-like and Elm-inspired library for Rust.

Yes, but is it worth the trouble?

Also, you may be able to build robots to dispense pills. But have you seen a European automated pharmacy supplier? Everything is automated. They dispense all the blister packs into a small cart that gets delivered to the pharmacy. In the end it does not matter if you supply a pharmacy with 2-20 medicines or a consumer with 1-10.

> It's more like the other way around: the idea is to make public transport cheap and efficient enough that it's a reasonable alternative to driving everywhere.

That would be nice, but that's not the general opinion of urbanists in the US. They (generalizing) really do believe as the parent describes, to "make driving too expensive and/or too inconvenient, to force people to use public transit", and they truly believe this will magically fix public transit across the nation.

It's the urbanist version of "the beatings will continue until morale improves".

They'll often lie about it, saying "we don't hate them, we just want them to pay their fair share", or "to remove subsidies". But mostly, they just really hate cars. Especially electric ones (since they largely solve most of the problems of cars, while still being cars). Just browse the top 20 posts of /r/urbanplanning on any given day to see this in action

When you walk out and get in the way of a vehicle, it's easy to get out of the way or be told to move. There's a direct interaction.

When someone flies a drone over a wildfire, they often don't even think they're doing anything wrong, and firefighting aircraft have to be all suspended until they can find the pilot and get them to stop flying, or otherwise prevent it from being in the area anymore. It's a threat that's a lot more difficult to mitigate.

I am an independent researcher, entirely self-funded. And not rich.

The real barrier to independent research is the huge paywall to get at published papers. I paid $40 for a 4 page paper. That kind of expense really adds up. If you're doing "research" and not looking at published papers, you're likely to be covering ground other people already know, in which case, you're just self-educating. At least, according to my definition of research.

Research is doing something nobody in the world knows how to do.

In my opinion, paywalling research papers is the biggest drag on science ever invented.
If a commercial developer saw a license like that... they could pay for a commercial licence. Presumably a commercial developer thinks software is worth paying for.
My girlfriend experiences the same thing which is why she refuses to take public transportation without me. It is a huge problem that nobody here has claimed a solution for nor really talked about (not too surprising since HN is composed of 94.6% males according to [0]).

As someone who tries to position oneself as someone with all the wisdom in the world, you sure are acting immature, closing your statement with "okthxbye" type comment.

Also, "You're wrong" is not such a mature way to engage in a conversation, and yet that's exactly how you start every comment you posted here. Could have been a productive conversation if you acted maturely.

And even though I said no offense and clearly meant it in a generic manner (and not attacking YOU), you actually sound very offended. Why are you so offended by some random guy on the Internet?

But I guess I'll never get an answer, since you're probably a man of your words and keep your promise to keep that last comment your last post :)
Just as with a bird strike, a drone can cause harm to any low flying firefighting aircraft. Sighting any drone in the airspace of a wildfire causes all air operations to be suspended until it is gone.
The reason they have is when the spam filter is run against anonymous-video.com it returns positive.

You're assigning far too much agency to the decision as if someone at FB reviewed anonymous-video.com specifically and decided to block it or not.

GDPR is not a prohibition on selling personal data. It’s a prohibition on having and using personal data, unless the specific data and usage can be justified under one of the lawful bases. An army of lawyers is required to assess whether each code path and business process is truly covered under one of those bases, given how specific regulators are likely to interpret the subjective judgement calls embedded in the definitions of those bases (necessary, legitimate, reasonable, balanced, etc).
The problem is they quite frankly suck.

The official ones are incredibly dry and not approachable by someone wanting to get started and do anything meaningful. I've helped people learn Django and the official docs/guides are the last on the list of recommendations. there are so many better resources to look at first. I've told people to skip the polls app and go through Django girls tutorial. The polls app is a waste of time.

You just can't do that in any individual countries in Europe, as they are all smaller than most US states, with far less varied environments.

If your marketing strategy requires depends entirely upon your market not knowing they're being marketed to, or your competitors not knowing who you're marketing to, there's something wrong with the strategy.

This is already standard procedure, wildfires with air operations put temporary flight restrictions in place as a matter of course, which apply to drones as well. People still fly drones and shut down operations regularly.

I'm curious about this aspect. If you run and operate a website outside of Europe, if a European then uses that site, you aren't breaking local laws.

What does the GDPR mean for these people? The europeans will still believe you have broken their laws and try to use whatever international agreements they have to go after you? Or if you enter europe they will hold you to account?

Google / Facebook have operations in Europe, so I can understand why they are concerned, but what does it mean if you don't operate in Europe but have Europeans using your site?
I don’t believe it’s kosher to provide a subscriber link to everyone on HN. I believe it is intended to be used to communicate with a few colleagues, not to be posted on a news aggregator site.

Per LWN.net:

“The "subscriber link" mechanism allows an LWN.net subscriber to generate a special URL for a subscription-only article. That URL can then be given to others, who will be able to access the article regardless of whether they are subscribed. This feature is made available as a service to LWN subscribers, and in the hope that they will use it to spread the word about their favorite LWN articles.

If this feature is abused, it will hurt LWN's subscription revenues and defeat the whole point. Subscriber links may go away if that comes about.”

> The housing market lives and dies by fanniemae/freddiemac federal subsidies, mortgage insurance, and lending policies.

Which contributed to the subprime mortgage bubble and subsequent financial crisis.

What makes you think healthcare would go into "freefall" without Medicare? Medicare is primarily funded by payroll taxes and premiums paid by enrollees. Where did you think this money came from? Thin air?

The U.S. spends a fortune per student relative to other OECD countries, yet has mediocre outcomes. I have no idea why you think education would "shrivel and die" without this wasteful spending, inefficiency, and corruption.

Between 1970 and 2012, the full amount spent by all levels of government on the K–12 education of an individual public school student graduating in any given year, adjusted for inflation, increased by 185%. The average funding by state governments increased by 120% per student. However, scores in mathematics, science and language arts over that same period remained almost unchanged. Multi-year periods in which a state's funding per student declined substantially also appear to have had little effect.

Housing size. A 2 bedroom house in The New World is nothing like a 2 bedroom place in Europe. I bet the Berlin housing is a LOT smaller than a US place.

It's an empirical claim. I'm not seeing the articles!

I spend a lot of time giving feedback to people about how to appeal to HN's audience. Authors tend to be founders only for very-early-stage startups, such as the ones you see in Launch HNs. The authors from larger companies tend not to be founders or even execs. My sample is biased, of course, but if founders and execs of successful startups were writing informative articles about how they run their startups, readers here would be interested and we'd surely see them posted.
Flying a drone legally should require a license, much like operating a ham radio does.

This would ensure that all drone operators have basic knowledge of what is expected of them (such as “don’t fly a drone over a wildfire”), and make it straightforward to fine/prosecute operators who are flying without a license.

If the majority of operators are responsible, educated, and respect the rules, it could even help relax some of the rules around drone operation in the long run.

Why hexagons?

* Neighbor traversal

simplicity of neighbors; triangles 3 classes of neighbors, squares 2 classes of neighbors, hexagons only one class of neighbor!

* Subdivisions

Squares obviously do this pretty well but by alternating cw, cww rotations and allowing not quite perfect coverage they get to shard with different resolutions/hex sizes.

* Distortion

"most important" Basically the use case here is visualizations that maintain basic unit appearance. They even pick the location of their vertices to be over water minimizing land distortions.

source: https://youtu.be/ay2uwtRO3QE?t=11m53s

p.s. as `contravariant` said you can't tessellate a sphere with hexagons so they project onto a icosohedron with pentagons at each of the twelve vertices (positioned over water) https://youtu.be/ay2uwtRO3QE?t=23m00s
A smaller company (especially high growth) would be my choice any day. I currently work for a smaller, high growth startup, and I prefer it a thousand fold to the experiences in industry giant companies like MS or Google. The bad would outweigh the good, to me. No doubt there is good - the name recognition on your resume, the experience on big products with big-name hitters - but no, even that wouldn't outweigh the burdens of the bigger corporate employment, at least not for me.

A smaller startup / company can get things done faster, give you more experience in potentially more areas and more types of projects. If it's a high growth company it probably will make a fairly good resume item anyway.

The only caveat is that you have said: "who wants a corporate career" -- if by "corporate" you mean larger mega-companies, than of course, your choice should be Google.
Proxies aren’t actually that slow, the problem is the committee refusal to acknowledge indexed properties as being something that actually exists.

The result is that all property names passed to the interceptor get converting to a string.

That means if for example you were intending to proxy an array, your performance is destroyed.

First a numeric index gets converted to a string, then when to pass that on to your target array it has to be parsed back into a number.

In a trivial case (literally just forwarding the access) it might be possible to fake the stringing of the property name, but if you actually end up doing real work it becomes increasingly hard to avoid the property name escaping and so having to be reified.
