What got me to stop using Here on Android was that when I chose a contact or other address and selected Google Maps to launch it took me to the location. When I chose Here maps it took me to my current location - if I wanted to use that address I'd clicked, I could go copy and paste it.
I have used it all day, every day I that I've worked in the last seven years on Sprint and very rarely have a problem.

One strange thing I've noticed over the years is there's a difference on Android vs Apple -- can't count the times I've gone to the wrong place following the Android tablet in the car only to have to pull up the address on the iPhone to get there. When they first put the tablets in the cars I was using the navigation and it took me into the alley between the houses and "you have arrived"...in their backyard. Not very helpful.

Honestly, though, I rarely use navigation unless I'm feeling really lazy or going somewhere complicated enough that I can't figure out how to get there by just glancing at the map. 100% don't use navigation on the stupid tablet in the car.
The key word there is convince. Most replies to my post seem to think the act of making a promise means you have convinced the voter.

It seems very hypocritical to think that people are responsible enough to choose their elected officials while at the same time argue that they can't be trusted to make an informed decision because of a Facebook ad which promised them what they wanted.

If you microtarget me and your opponent microtargets me, how am I going to be convinced by you? This is an adversarial process.
Advertisement is also a way to buy support in the media. For example, in the aftermath of the oil spill on the Gulf of Mexico, BP showered money on TV and magazines. The real reason they did that was to tone down the coverage, especially in a moment where TV was deeply in need of advertisement money due to the big depression of 2008.
Anyone who returns things from an online retailer, for one. Printing tickets at home for movies and shows is also quite common.
You can definitely make meals out of what they carry, what I listed above is not an exhaustive list.. Selection is somewhat limited, but if supermarkets went away then I'd be willing to bet they would be more than happy to pick up the slack by expanding their offerings.
You've never heard of a freelance programmer purchasing their own flight and getting reimbursed later?
It's not about correct in one scenario or another, it's about having a low resolution view of the world that will be helpful. As the PDF states, https://vgy.me/C7hfiH.png, "cognitive distortions are filters or lenses that influence thinking, shape interpretation of reality, basis for action". Truly convincing yourself that luck isn't relevant is one such cognitive distortion that is a very helpful way of guiding your actions through life.

Once you get into any specific situation and you need a higher resolution view of things then you can look at the situation as it should be looked rather than defaulting to the low resolution view that luck doesn't matter.
Interesting how there's also one of those little islands in the same field. Don't know what they're called but I've seen enough Time Team to know they sometimes hide archaeological treasure. Something either too cumbersome to move or something marked for preservation.

Either way britain feels like a giant trove of discovery when you pay some attention to popular archaeology.

Some of the other comments here have mentioned, but it bears repeating: this is not the "normal" Linus. He doesn't rant 100% of the time, but when he does, you had better pay attention because it must be something very important.

Isn’t this the case everywhere?
I feel like I've used them all. OneNote, Notion.so, NotePlan, Outliner, Mac Notes, Scrivner, Evernote.

I personally seem to gravitate towards OneNote for pure note taking. I personally like Notion.so more for notes that refer to tasks, using Notionas more of a task management and organization app vs pure note taking.

Outliner is a great app for quick note taking in nested format.
Thanks Sensei.
What small businesses make the most millionaires?
So roads are great and all, but the info I really care about is what's on them. I know all of my possible commute routes like the back of my hand, and couldn't care less about which data source is more accurate for them. What I don't know is which one is the fastest to use right now given current traffic conditions. As far as I know, OSM alone doesn't collect or store such ephemeral data.

(Please remember: driving, like all practical and modern travel modes, is the art of getting from point A to point B as quickly as possible. I don't get paid to sit in a goddamn parking lot that calls itself a "highway", nor to sit in the other parking lot that calls itself a "two-lane rural road", nor to superspeed through an overly non-straight two-lane rural road while the other roads are actually performing as advertised.)
Well if you were entrepreneur-material you would have been able to extrapolate off the limited information ;P
Closing/destroying and granting (to another process) are generally applicable to about any resource held by a process. UNIXes, by contrast, expose multiple "close" system calls for non-file things, and have a largely incomplete mishmash of ways to share non-file things.

I was an engineer in the "outer circle" who quit and lived for four months with "untouchables" in a homeless camp.

When I was an engineer I definitely felt the artificial distance between me (a human being) and a large group of other human beings serving me who were treated far worse than me. I did not think of them as lesser people, but the system certainly treated them as such.

When I was homeless I definitely felt the being ignored (or seen as a nuisance) by higher-class people. It's very obvious how people's behavior toward you changes when they see you walk out of a tent camp on the street. Actually, it's not just being ignored when people create artificial complaints about your group to get the police to brutally displace you.

Everything is complex of course, it's not black and white, there are spectrums in many dimensions. IMHO the point is to try looking at things from a new perspective and maybe notice things you didn't notice before, that feel wrong. It helps for people with power to notice things that are wrong, since then they can become impassioned to change things.
Those figures are not in line with my understanding.

I totally support OSM 1000%...

But frankly, it seems it's still a lot of work to build OSM into your own website/app, setting up your own tile server.

I know there are instructions for this [1] [2] -- but to really get popular, it seems like there really ought to be up-to-date, auto-updating, officially recommended and totally secure server images on Digital Ocean, AWS, Google Cloud and Azure where anyone can spin it up for $5/mo without even ever having to SSH in once (except to update the root password), and then embed a live JavaScript map into their web page with two lines of code -- one to load the library, and one to insert a live map of a given size centered on a given location. Where the whole process shouldn't take more than 10 minutes, and most of that is waiting for the image to be copied to your server.

I've Googled but I can't find anything like that -- with the links below, I assume I'd be using at least a day to set things up, especially since setting up servers from online tutorials never goes smoothly, as you have to google error messages that arise since newer versions have changed slightly since the tutorial was written... And most times where I just want to "throw in a map", I don't want to spend a day+ doing it.

From the article
“To determine the age of the tools, the researchers took advantage of the planet’s changing magnetic field.

From time to time, Earth’s magnetic field flips, turning north to south. Magnetic minerals in the soil and ocean are pushed into alignment with the field; when they are trapped in rocks, they still point in the telltale direction.

Geophysicists have precisely determined the timing of these magnetic flips, which have taken place at the same time all around the world. It’s a useful way to date the material found in layers of rock.”
The gist of your link is "luck is real, but delude yourself so you won't give up."

Fuck that. Luck is real. And I won't give up. It's called taking a leap of faith. You don't have to lie to yourself in order to take risks.

Your solution is harmful. If people stop believing in luck, then everyone who fails just didn't try hard enough.

I would expect it's easy to make the case of misappropriation when directing the money to an unauthorized advertising campaign; or to an authorized campaign, but for a different, unauthorized product.

It's a lot harder to make that case here, with campaigns using unexpected copywritting and targeting, both of which were at the liberty of the people running the campaigns. Selecting those was literally their job and given the massive Labour gains, it's hard to argue they failed at it.

It's clearly a case of internal insubordination and disciplinary action - which I'm sure the perpetrators were expecting, but deemed them an acceptable sacrifice to protect the party from what they seen as the bumbling fools running it.
Haha true enough. I imagine everyone is like this to some degree. Otherwise you'd never get anything done. But selecting some language framework over the opposition of your peers and seeing it succeed is way different from removing keyboards from a phone.
Other than a change in 'economic conditions', the rest of those issues can be avoided with adequate business research.

From my perspective, your reply supports the article's point.

Yes, the inner and outer circles are paid well. And yes, nothing is completely black and white, there are spectrums in many dimensions. Everything is complex, but it is sometimes helpful to look at something from a perspective other than your own to maybe notice things you don't normally notice, in this case the mass of people that the author calls the "service class" and the "untouchables", and the way they are perceived and [mis]treated by the "higher" classes.

I'm not accusing you of mistreating people in these groups. But you admit you don't know many people in them, and I think the article is valuable in pointing that out.

There's (3.8million - 54)mi of the United States available yo travel to. We can travel freely throughout our great nation, that alone is a huge advantage over many other places in the world.

There's no such thing as gentrification. This is a misunderstanding of real estate and how it works. If rent goes up, you have to pay. If you can't, nobody OWES you anything, you failed the economic selection for that place and now that you can't cut it, you have to relocate.

I have mixed feelings about this. While I do feel this maps closely with my own observations, this also generally describes the cognitive distortions of young people. I wonder if the hidden correlation here is that SV is mostly led by the young and not the old.
Maybe you shouldn't be in the "Cognitive Distortions of People Who Get Stuff Done" thread if you don't like the idea of deluding yourself of things that might not be entirely true.

Something which is toxic is poisonous. In a social context, it refers to behaviors, words, actions or situations which have a similar effect on the social fabric or body politic that literal toxins do on living tissue, which encourage the spread of collectively negative or harmful behaviors.

It means exactly what it says on the tin.

While I suspect this thread is not going to last long, toxic is just another word that has lost all meaning by being applied by people to any topic they don't want to see discussed.

To answer your question toxic no longer has a real meaning outside of science and medicine.

Another quick hint: always make things work first then profile and optimize it. This happens when my colleagues were building a stream processing engine that scales up. At first, they start with all those fancy fine-grained locks but it turns out the final result just does not scale at all. They have to retreat to the version with some big locks and then figure out what was happening and how to solve it.
What?

The job and housing market constraint is due to poor public policy. Overly-generous tenant rights, anti-chain laws, anti-gentrification measures - all of these are creating problems that you don’t see (dilapidated housing, extreme rents) in other high-density urban areas.

He's coming out with a book so you might want to wait on it. A proper notetaking system is important to me, so it was worth it for me, but I'd wait on the book because he tends to ramble on the podcast.

It's basically an organization system that serves as an adjunct to "getting things done". GTD's system relies on "filing non-actionable items", but it doesn't really explain how to do that. Traditionally, people would rely on filing cabinets or whatever. BASB relies on evernote to keep basically anything information in there that can quickly be retrieved (becuase you're going to forget years later). And when you later need to the information, you can criss-cross the data for more creative output.

If you are a fan of emacs org-mode (as I am), here's an article that shows how to use it with BASB: https://medium.com/@mwfogleman/implementing-a-second-brain-i...

it goes into the process a little bit, so it can help you decide if the course is worth it for you or not.
People are endlessly fascinated with the piece of success that we might have some hope of exercising control over. It gives people something constructive to try to work on. This is generally better than hating your life and buying lottery tickets while not bothering to work towards anything.

There are a great many things beyond our control. But we will never stop trying to figure out that one thing we can do by choice that makes some kind of difference -- the more difference, the better.

Maybe the folks in the tent camp should consider why passers-by wrinkle their noses.

I remember back when no-smoking signs were just getting started. Smokers used to complain about their right to smoke, forgetting about everyone else's right to breathe fresh air. It's like motorcyclists complaining about noise regulations for the type of muffler they need.

There's a difference between social classes, which exist in nearly every country, and a caste system. Castes are hereditary, you are born into a caste.

Very few people are born into tech. Anyone working in San Francisco probably realizes that most people in Bay Area tech weren't even born in the Bay Area. Working in Bay Area tech is a choice, one which requires hard work and quite a lot of luck.

People are born with varying degrees of privilege, which makes it easier for some than others to get a tech job, that isn't a caste system.

I've been on a tech career path since I was a teenager, but with one parent who was a teacher and the other who was a construction worker, it wasn't like I was born into it. I've worked with plenty of people who have made the transition to a tech career later in life. Like one person who said he was tired of digging ditches so he went to tech bootcamp.

The classes in SF are extreme. The pay disparity is too large. It is really hard for a lot of people to get by. But it isn't a caste system.

I've always wondered, how does this compare to a dedicated hardware router (some kind of ASIC maybe. I'm not sure if what routers on the market use), in terms of performance. E.g. if the router is connected to 200 clients and they all experience heavy traffic, what kind of CPU/mem is required to keep up with the traffic?
I understand why one would think that the federal government does these things, but the District of Columbia and other analogs to state governments do generally serve these purposes. There are things like a "Consular Report of Birth Abroad" in some cases for children of military service members. I guess it depends on the spirit of the question and definition of what constitutes "anything that a State government can do that the Federal government can't".

Generally speaking, I get the impression that most people dramatically underestimate the role of state and local government authorities in their daily lives.

There is tremendous survivorship bias in this analysis.

While these traits were found in a substantial portion of people who "Get Stuff Done", how about the people who exhibit these traits, but don't "Get Stuff Done"? We have no idea how large that population is.

Assuming the author's research is perfect, and every successful person who "Gets Stuff Done" exhibits these trait. The author, at best, has shown these traits are necessary, but not sufficient. Since many people potentially have these traits and don't "Get Stuff Done", there must be further special sauce which differentiates them.

One could very plausibly argue that the second point (making the candidate more electable / centrist) has been the entire point of political campaigning since the ancient Greeks. Politicians have been lying to voters (or more charitably, putting their best foot forward) since the very beginning of democracy.

Usually the candidate is in on it. Remarkably, Corbyn isn’t or wasn’t so they had to pull this stunt.
The problem is not that there are not toxic ideas or words, but the term has been so (ab)used that it has lost all meaning.

It is a bit like the word fascist which used to have a specific meaning, but which has been so widely applied that it is now pretty much meaningless except as a term of abuse.
What I miss is actual functionality that makes my life better as a user. I totally agree on all points made, but it is not going get me a better mapping experience in any way. For me to consider OSM, I need most features that are as good and some that are better. I don't like to say it, but OSM does not (yet?) offer this.
If we invoke "OOP" here, why not invoke classes? Or rather "interfaces" in modern OOP-speak, or "traits" in other parts of the landscape.

There's a common trait among many objects: you can read a sequence of bytes from it. Disk files, sockets, various input devices, random number generators, etc. There's another common trait, writing a stream of bytes. Another, even more common pair of traits, is "opening" and then "closing" something.

All of them can be described using interfaces / traits to clearly communicate which sets of operations are applicable to which objects.

This e.g. can be neatly used to describe the "many things are a file" idea:

File passwords_file = Filesystem.make("/etc/passwd");
Readable password_readable = passwords_file.openRead(); // Could be openWrite().
Process zcat_process = Processes.make("zcat /tmp/something.gz");
Readable zcat_stdout = zcat_process.stdout.openRead(); // Can only be openRead().
ClientSocket sock = Network.makeClientSocket(host, port, options); // Unlike a file.
Readable sock_readable = sock.openRead();
for (Readable r in [password_readable, zcat_stdout, sock_redable]) {
byte b = r.read(); // Read one byte from each, no matter what it is.
}

But this would require a very different language, way more powerful than C (but also not C++ please). Unlike in 1969, now we have languages like that, e.g. Rust and ATS-lang. Likely we need another 10-15 years for a viable, somehow widely used OS kernel written in such a language to emerge.
