Navigation is really a bear... It's easily Google's killer product, and extremely difficult for the open source community to replicate in any meaningful sense just due to the difficulty in acquiring data; we lack the necessary resources. I'm not sure how to solve that properly.
Definitely give it a shot! If it doesn’t work for you as-is, maybe you can hack on it until it does. Let me know if you get stuck, maybe I can give a pointer.

I was expecting something fancy compared to the barn spikes I carry on the ice with a name like ice claws, but nope they are basically the same damn thing.
On iphone, the nicest looking app I found is called MapOut.

Very slick, works well, offline. I guess aimed more at outdoor use than cities, or driving.
Donations and a little assistance in kind (discounted/donated hosting). But OSM is incredibly efficiently run. Turnover in 2017 was just £185,395 and that includes the State of the Map conference. The foundation has just one part-time employee for administrative support. Compare to Wikimedia which has turnover of around $80m and 280 employees.
No, unless you think "they are all the same".
It's kinda useless, though. They give you the most general of the targeting - all mine say stuff like "men in the United States" when they've clearly got additional very specific stuff enabled.
How I Manage Resources in Pure C
My point is that I don't think many people would take that option even if it were available. I know I wouldn't, unless the costs to own and operate a private car went up drastically, and even then, I see it as more of an augmentation than a replacement, i.e. maybe I own a single car instead of two, and use cabs for most trips.

There are some realities I think get overlooked. For example, I have a family of six, plus a dog that can't be left alone. How do I go about getting where I need to go in a fast and convenient way? Let's say I can't afford to live in the dense city center, and like most people, I live in the suburbs. Barring some huge shift in politics, infrastructure, and major advancement in AI, what is my motivation to give up my minivan?

Ask HN: How to protect your dotfiles from being stolen by nefarious scripts?
For example, the recent eslint NPM virus had full access to the local user's dotfiles, and uploaded their .npmrc file to a remote server. The virus could have accessed anything under the user's account, including ~/.aws/credentials, ~/.bashrc (often contains a lot of API keys and access tokens), ~/.ssh, etc.

What are some ways to protect yourself from illicit access by rogue installer scripts (npm, pip, gem, homebrew, etc.)?

>has helped me avoid the "this person is a tourist/not from here" behavior by allowing me to proceed confidently out of the subway exit in the right direction

Because anybody would care how one proceeds? If it's meant to not seem tourist to pickpockets and the like, those can tell anyway...
A business is also impacted when it doesn't have its very own stoplight to help people turn into the lot. Thus some cities wind up putting in stoplights every few hundred feet, in some areas.

Congratulations, you've just created an unsolvable traffic light network, and magicked all-day gridlock out of thin air.

This is a multivariate optimization problem. We need to consider the repercussions of heavily over-provisioning parking.
I just recently spent a few hours working with OSM and Nominatim as part of a project for my university, an event planning page for ActivityPub social media: http://fedevent.herokuapp.com/

OSM maps are quite detailed, perfectly serviceable...but Nominatim is not very good (at least in my experience?) I used https://github.com/perliedman/leaflet-control-geocoder to interact with Nominatim but entering something that can sound relatively common (like a mall or an abbreviation of an institution) will come up with locations in entirely different countries than the user had in mind and at least in the case of that geocoder control (props to the dev for making it, BTW) there isn't a clear way to determine WHERE something is before selecting it.

I noticed this when I searched for "Mall San Pedro" and was returned the right location but it was displayed as something completely different, under the name of the street. It's a little disconnecting.

I appreciate that it might come down the libraries and tools that are querying Nominatim with certain design decisions, but the useful of a database is in the implementation of it into tools.

Dysfunctional is a judgement. Labeling something as bad, wrong, dysfunctional, etc. is a good indicator of getting triggered. The problem rarely resides entirely externally. IMO, it's better for OP to explore their reaction to these conditions first since it probably won't be the last time they encounter them.
Natch.
Ouch, these are pretty bad exploits for the amount of work it would take to exploit them.
I'm fascinated to see the apparently limitless efforts that both the media and his own party went to in order to brand Corbyn as an extreme and dangerous left winger and undermine his progress.

His policies were comparable to, and sometimes to the right of, those of the SDP. The SDP being the right of the Labour party who split in the 1980s and later merged with the Liberals to give today's LibDems.

He was more of the fringe in his youth. So were quite a lot of people, current politicians, even Blairites included. Peter Hain (anti-apartheid and gay rights) and David Blunkett (Socialist Republic of South Yorkshire[0]) spring to mind as having had far more activist and strident roots than Corbyn. Blunkett went on to be a Home Secretary the right of the Tory party would have been proud of.

Edit: Nowhere am I advocating his policies, why the downvotes?

The Great Suspender does a pretty good job of this.

To be fair to the EFF, it isn't like your ACLU example at all. Lawmakers have only been grappling with the internet and it's implications for a relatively short period (historically speaking). And there have been some bad decisions/policies. Sometimes culture plays a part, sometimes it doesn't. So it's fair for the EFF to say: "we feel this has worked for other people, and this hasn't. please take it into consideration, including chilling effects and technical pitfalls", especially for a global resource like the internet. (It's also fair for Japanese lawmakers to ignore them, which is the most likely outcome.)

Great. This is what they’re dicking around with instead of fixing years-old, glaring defects in regular Photoshop and the rest of their products.
Depreciation is a concern if you are intent on selling said asset. If the credit deadline is one year, said friend will only pay 15% more and get to actually drive the car. That doesn't sound much like a terrible mistake, I've seen much worse.
Hm. Downtown Portland is $2/hr. I would not say $4/hr is 'incredibly cheap'.
Thank you for finding the bugs! It shouldn't even be possible feed a 5 to a one-bit connector.

Yes I think I shot myself in the foot by designing the connectors so the labels could only be one or two letters. There is no technical reason they couldn't have descriptive labels like "clock" rather than "c". But it would probably require to turn the design "on the side", so the connectors are left-right rather than top-bottom.

I know I miss tests for a few of the levels.

Thanks for the nice words, it is encouraging!
> If you're running a bank, you would never want to sacrifice consistency.

Banks do sacrifice CAP consistency. As it doesn't mean you don't have consistency at all or anything like that. Just that you don't wait for writes to become visible to all nodes.
If you factor in economics that picture gets worse for the US relative to most countries. The divide between rich and poor is large and growing.

Won't this work become mostly irrelevant in the near future (at least for new hardward)? There is no way all affected software will implement workarounds like this and it this will have to be fixed at the hardware/CPU level in order to fully address it.

It's pretty easy to tell which stairs go up just by looking at them, but it's pretty hard to tell which stairs go north.

So Musk is a closet Tea Party supporting, Trump tooting socialist, ahem liar.

Is that really a surprise, given how he's blamed the press for reporting facts on Tesla's financials, or his proclivity to insert himself in the limelight (like Thailand cave rescue) when he has real work to do.

He's a distractor in Chief, and his rants on climate change are just a showpiece, an means to an end of raising more capital for Tesla.
" but also made it mandatory to give your credit card number even if you do not go over the free limit !"

Only if you are a new user. Google published a transition document for existing users and it says they don't have to add a card, but then of course your maps stop working for the rest of the month if you go over the $200 free quota.

So current users have it easier, but new users have to add a card.

Btw, for all those who like to step in other aritcles about the concerns with social media, to tell us how it's just like TV was a few decades ago, this article shows why it absolutely is not.

The persoinal targeting provided by FB and the like makes it an entirely different beast from past experiences.
Here is a book about something that happened as recently as 1971 — https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Blood_Telegram:_Nixon,_K...
The bus has 50 seats, and standing room for maybe 20-25. This includes having 1-2 people standing unsafely on the swivel plate in the middle of the bus.

One of the issues in general with increasing Seattle-Bellevue throughput is having to bridge the lake. I-90 traded a separate bridge of dedicated express lanes, for HOV lanes combined with other traffic - so the under construction Link light rail can use that separate bridge. 520 is another option, but there's a toll since they just replaced the narrow 2-lane pontoon bridge with 4-lane highway that's suspended higher above the water.
No, you don't have to deceive yourself. The "positive spin" is about the emotional aspects of thought, not bending the truth.
Is there a reasonable way to tell if an old glow in the dark thing uses radium (or some other radioactivity based lighting mechanism) rather than simple phosphorescence, short of finding a Geiger counter?

I've got a Westclox Baby Ben glow in the dark wind-up alarm clock that I've had at least 50 years [1]. I don't think that there is anything I have owned longer. It still works fine, although sometimes it needs to be slapped a little to get it going if it hasn't been used for several years. I still use it as a backup whenever I need an alarm in circumstance where an alarm failure would lead to serious, hard to deal with consequences.

Westclox definitely used radium at one time in their Baby Ben clocks [2], but from what I read they stopped in the early to mid '60s. Mine was bought around the mid '60.

Mine only glows after exposure to bright light, suggesting it is using phosphorescence rather than radioluminescence, and so should be safe, but it would be nice to check.

Is there a paper about proving whether or not an arbitrary system is subject to the CAP theorem?
With OSM you have to host the map tiles yourself if you add maps to your website, because OSM servers only provide limited traffic hosting via the API.
There are a couple of other important changes in basketball:

1. The three-second rule is no longer a significant factor.

2. The offense can only possess the ball for ten seconds on the side of the court they're trying to score on. After that, they either lose the ball, or they have to retreat across half-court and shoot from there.
Basically the theory boils down to 4 groups of people:

1 - Inner Circle - Basically the elites

2 - Outer Circle - People who are paid well to support the elites

3 - Service Class - People who make little money doing tedious work

4 - Untouchables - Homeless, criminals, etc.

It seems like these social categories could be applied to nearly every country I've lived in or visited.
Don't even try to speak rationally about Facebook on HN. The atmosphere around it is hysterical.

Advertising is evil according to HN, so therefor Facebook is evil. Evil mastermind Putin plugged directly into the consciousness of every conservative voter and magically made them vote for Trump. Fox News and friends disseminating constant vitriol and misinformation had no effect. It was evil Facebook and mastermind Putin. Oh and don't forget, Facebook is worse than heroin!

The anti-FB circle jerk around here is comically ridiculous.

I've found it rather slow and temperamental, plus their business model of charging for access to map updates basically means that you have to pay them to use corrections you contribute to OSM.
Swapping to non-volatile storage? In the context of memory exhaustion I think it was reasonably clear gpp was talking about hitting virtual memory. Although these days faster SSDs make that not quite as dramatic a hit as it once was.
Mapbox consumes OSM.
Swapping as in paging.
I wonder if some of it is about the fact that the PC demand due to GPU shortages may be only short term. In any case, the demand was definitely very sudden and there is no way that Apple would have been prepared for it.

I think they raised that limit recently, but again nothing prevents you from creating lots of fake profiles just to get past that limit, then targeting all those profiles + the real user you want to target.

Yes, I'm aware of it. BUT, it's beta, and it's not persisted. For our use case, we wanted a persisted redis store. There are lots of providers, RedisLabs, RedisGreen, Redistogo and probably a half dozen more, but none of them provide service to Google Cloud in EU.

The distance is related to the shopping habit. It’s neat watching people move to New York. At first, they continue their big, irregular shopping trips. Slowly, though, they switch to quick daily or every-other-day trips (+ delivery), and walkig to a store around the corner.

Your anecdote falls into the trap I see often when comparing OSS software vs proprietary. You’ve found a obscure, uncommon use case where OSM works better. However, the opposite needs to be true for adoption. OSM needs to work better for 80% of the use cases, not the other 20.

That's probably true for actual customers using the service, but when people discover your site, they're more likely to be on mobile. You can have a different landing page for mobile that focuses on the "about" without having the huge composer page.
I thought I recognised the name on the main gallery site. Witold Pilecki[0] was an astonishingly brave Polish cavalry officer who volunteered to be incarcerated in Auschwitz[1]. They wanted to get intelligence out and if possible organise resistance in the camp. He escaped after over 2 years, and volunteered to fight during the Warsaw uprising.

Edit: He survived that but was executed after the war by the Poles after a show trial and conviction for espionage. He'd been collecting evidence of Soviet atrocities in Poland.

Where I live (Los Angeles), parts of parking lots are rented out for other things. You often see radio station promotions, paper shredding companies, and things like that renting parts of the parking lots of grocery stores, etc. at off-peak times.

My employer, however, does not rent their parking lot out after hours. They might be able to make some money if they did, though.
Absolutely. There's a difference in scale and intent, however. Probably simplifying here...

I think the hacking thing always had a bit more of a Robin Hood complex coupled with it. The lone renegades taking on powers and organizations much larger than themselves for entertainment, or acquiring status that they weren't otherwise bestowed.

This is powers using it to manipulate other powers, where the price is paid by the people 'Robin Hoods' were never originally out to exploit.
I visited the US (particularly the bay area) for the first time recently, and I was baffled by the sparsity of buildings. Suburbs and shopping areas are so far away that you need a car to go anywhere

When I lived in Cincinnati just north of the University in the cool little Gaslight neighborhood, I would come home from my job in an office park in the suburbs, then walk to the grocery, cool shops, the cafe, the library, the bank, friends houses. That wasn't typical, but it still existed.
Very nice, interestingly it doesn't always come up with quite the same route as openrouteservice does.

There's quite some resistance to adding translations and transcriptions, as they aren't really names as such.

An example would be small towns in the US. They probably don't have a Welsh name, even if there happens to be a direct translation into Welsh.
Composing on email might be a thing. But for me, I can’t even view pricing or terms on my iPhone 8 Plus.
It's the same ideas. That's my point. These are right wing ideas regardless of their labeling.
People often suggest that the Internet is a problem in terms of disinformation, but I'd argue in many cases that the Internet actually helps.

In pre-Internet days, it was difficult to get someone's views in their own words, especially in real-time. All information was filtered through various sources before being passed onto the consumer. Now, it's straightforward to check their website, or their twitter, or their youtube.

This, of course, is not perfect and requires a root-of-trust involving Google and DNS, but I'd certainly take that tradeoff versus Guy On The Street asserting things.
I don't understand this argument. The automobile is much younger than the country. Cars became broadly used about a century ago, the 1910s-20s. How many U.S. cities do you imagine there are that were created after that? Or even that, due to cars, dramatically changed their size relative to the overall population?
Wow, a left-of-center party more worried about change from within than they are about losing the election to the right. What a bizarre and unprecedented thing. Thankfully that could never happen in my home country, the USA.
My guess is most of them work downtown and stop in the restaurant/bar to wait out traffic before driving home. And all the employees seem to drive to work. Plus the multitude of (baseball, basketball, arts & entertainment, convention center) venues around.

At first I just considered the parking hassles a "free-wifi tax" but then they added a second popular sandwich shop/bar next door and it just snowballed from there. Oh, and I lost the free-wifi benefit so now it's all just pure hassle.
Pretty sure this is explicitly not a Meltdown mitigation, since the whole point of Meltdown is that is allows crossing process boundaries.
