> People lost their damn minds when Netflix increased prices a year or two ago and I'm like "erm, I get way more value out of this than cable and it's a tenth the price, shut up".

For your analogy to work you would need to say you are content with Netflix raising their prices >10x (no longer a 10th of cable) because that is what Google just did with their pricing.

Most people I know who stream (ok all people I know) get way more value out of streaming than cable. What is your line on fair pricing for streaming compared to cable, as the service has obvious value to the user?

I don't think anyone, here of all places, would suggest a product requiring engineers and infrastructure be free for commercial use and that the company shouldn't recoup costs.

The good news is, like streaming services, there is competition and pricing will work itself out in the market (assuming no collusion :P)

It says in the article:

Under pressure from Irish politicians and activists, including the non-partisan Transparent Referendum Institute, Google banned all referendum-linked advertising on its sites.

Did this only happen part way through? Or were people still advertising, Google just claimed they weren't?

> Most walkable urban areas will have 24 hour convenience stores every few blocks.

This is only true in very large cities (NYC, LA, Paris, etc.) In smaller cities my experience is quite the opposite, shops close early and they are far and few between. I'm talking between 200-500k population (my sample size is small, but one city is in the US the other in France, neither had pharmacies within walking distance that were open past 9pm.)

> Try getting antibiotics for strep throat at 2am for less than $250 cash in less than ninety minutes in a suburb

Never been a problem here with a local 24/7 pharmacy that takes insurance so I'm not sure where you're getting your $250 figure from.

Nothing that stops them from putting in a small turbine to generate electricity. If memory serves me right, this is what some modern tanks do, like the Abraham. Add in a somewhat small (compared to battery powered only) battery pack and you can use that to power the vehicle when idling.
Actually, it's chloramine alone that is the culprit for both the smell and the red eyes according to the actual report. Which isn't reporting any new finding, as far as I know this has been well known since many years.

The short version is; A pool that smells strongly of 'clorine' ( chloramine(s) ) is a pool with a high load of contaminants, and whether or not the chlorine concentration is kept at levels enough to cope with the load can't afaik easily be determined, but it's reasonable to a assume a higher load implies a higher risk for insufficient levels.

Or as the report states:
>What you smell are actually chemicals
that form when chlorine mixes with pee, poop, sweat, and dirt from swimmers’ bodies. Yuck!
>These chemicals—not chlorine—can cause your eyes to get red and sting, make your nose run, and make you cough.
>Healthy pools, waterparks, hot tubs,
splash pads, and spray parks
don’t have a strong chemical smell.
Valuable News – 2018/07/20
Hi.

I create a weekly summary of interesting links and news I call Valuable News.

Latest are available here:

Valuable News - 2018/07/20
https://vermaden.wordpress.com/2018/07/20/valuable-news-2018-07-20

While HACKER NEWS is a great link aggregation service the problem is that most the links/news I gather are - I think - too small to be published here as a separate 'story'.

Do you think that it would be valuable if I would add new once per week such Valuable News link to HACKER NEWS?

These links/news are mostly FreeBSD/OpenBSD/Illumos/UNIX related for the record.

I ask because I do not intend to SPAM. If you think is worthless/pointless then take it down and I will not post future 'releases' of the Valuable News here.

For the record links for the older entries are at the - https://vermaden.wordpress.com/ - main page

Thanks for input.

Regards,

Has everyone been using google maps on 'internal only' projects? Their TOS has (AFAIK) never allowed free usage for intranet-style systems, only those which would be free and open to the public.

Trying to look at pricing for internal use, it was always insane (starting at $10k/year, IIRC). The price change may make it more cost effective for small internal use cases, at the expense of open/free/public use.
Curly brackets fulfill the exact same function as indenting a code block in Python - it defines scope and ties code together.
Sonic boom is a joke of a criterion. US is surely a big market, but nowhere as important as it was 40 years ago. US will have a choice: to deny SSTs when the rest of the world flies them, or do not do so.

But, cost above everything. You can't get economies of scale for an SST with even less than double the cost of regular business class.
Funny I consider myself agnostic but I'm usually seen as a "young developer" despite having been doing programming as a hobby for at least 10 years now. I guess professional experience is worth more to be fair.

I'm in the camp that uses Windows, Linux and Mac. Whatever laptop is nearest to me and gets whatever task done the quickest is the one I'll use, and these days it's my Surface Book 2 which has replaced even my iPad from being my media consumption device.

Right. But where Tesla is today, the rest of the industry is heading. That sort of range and charge speed should be typical for mid-range electrics by the early 2020s or so.
I think the concept is that if they had added it a long time ago, is that would be good or average. Adding it very late is not worthy of praise, and lacking it for years is still worthy of condemnation. While the change may be part of a broader positive trend, it does not absolve them of the past.
I agree with your first paragraph, but I didn't claim RMS thinks Emacs security is faulty. In fact, RMS doesn't seem to be aware of the problems of Emacs' network security. That RMS quote is there to point out the irony that RMS cares enough about security and privacy to prefix all of his emails with that preamble, but not enough to alarm emacs-devs about it. It's well-known that RMS has not been active in Emacs' development for many years now, the responsibility is not on him anymore.
It's not [only (in some people's view)?] to avoid liability, it's to give the reader a warning that whilst the writer is convinced of the situation they don't have legal training, the writer recognises the complexity of the law and that due to that complexity their assessment may be flawed.

It's like giving a restaurant recommendation second-hand, "but I've never eaten there". Or with tech, "but I've never done it".

With people I know I disclaim _social_ liability with "this is not legal advice" -- it's not for legal reasons, it's to say please ask a lawyer before you rely on this for something serious, don't blame me you need to check for yourself.

You could call it manners.

"Anecdotal evidence" is now part of my vocabulary.

From the article:

"The chips that produce an electric field for the Solar Probe Cup are made from tungsten, a metal with the highest known melting point of 6,192 F (3,422 C). Normally lasers are used to etch the gridlines in these chips—however due to the high melting point acid had to be used instead."

I had no idea tungsten was used to make ICs. What kind of density is achieved by laser etching (on tungsten or otherwise)?
Thank you very much, may I ask two questions:

* what is the workflow to update the OSM data?
* what is your recommendation for a good geocoder?

Archive.org has a copy from the 2013 terms of service: https://web.archive.org/web/20131017050205/https://robertssp...

It has an arbitration clause.

Also, are these statements legal in America?

* "YOU UNDERSTAND AND HEREBY AGREE THAT YOU HEREBY WAIVE THE RIGHT TO SUE IN COURT AND HAVE A JURY TRIAL."

* "To the fullest extent permitted by law, (1) no arbitration shall be joined with any other; (2) there is no right or authority for any Dispute to be arbitrated on a class-action basis or to utilize class action procedures"

* "Any arbitration shall be initiated in the County of Los Angeles, State of California, United States of America. Any Dispute not subject to arbitration, or where no election to arbitrate has been made, shall be decided by a court of competent jurisdiction within the County of Los Angeles, State of California, United States of America, and you and RSI agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of that court."

So waiving your right to the judicial system, waiving your right to enter into a class action suit, and enforcing a particular jurisdiction location? Seems very anti-consumer and not fair at all.

> VS Code. Yeah, I am not at all interested in an electron based code editor. And yet again, there is nothing new or novel here. There are dozens of other code editors that are free, cross platform, and very powerful.

Again with the lack of understanding, Microsoft produced a new standard for editors called Language Server Protocol[0] that once implemented in an editor and for a language can be used across editors and IDEs. They are doing more contributions through VS Code than you realize.

As for Open Sourcing VS I would love that but VS Code is snappy and awesome as it is so it doesn't bother me. VS Code with the right plugins (same can be said of Emacs, Vi etc) is amazing. For Dlang / Rust the best support I've seen for either language is for VS Code which is the youngest mainstream editor out there atm. Don't simply dismiss VS Code it's fame / usage speaks for it's own quality as a tool for editors. You even see in Sublime Text and Atom discussions that a number of people have just simply switched to VS Code.

I'd be curious to see the original IBM PC/XT/AT tested too. I guess it would be near the low end of the list too.

Also, the last entry in the list provides another reason why Lisp machines never became popular --- 300ms of input lag! That's definitely in unusable territory, especially when other machines of the time were almost an order of magnitude faster.
Requesting permissions for everything your app can possibly do at install time makes apps look scary. Here's an example.

Imaging a messaging app. It needs permission to read and write to your text messages - not so bad.

Maybe there's a feature where you can quick-reply from the message notification. Now it needs permission to draw over other apps.

Maybe it's smart enough to not DING! during a phone call. Now it needs permission to "make and manage phone calls".

Maybe there's a feature where it suggests a "here's my location" response when somebody texts you "where are you?". Now it needs permission to access your location.

Contact integration? Camera integration? Access storage? These are all things that a messaging app might reasonably want to do. But seeing a big list of permissions, including things like "draw over other apps" and "make and manage phone calls" is scary to an end user. Especially for an app that's only supposed to be handling SMS.
Now I'm curious. Can you elaborate?
Definitely try riding your bike to the light rail station, 1-2 miles is a very comfortable riding distance.
If you use vector tiles, and render them client side you could do this. For raster tiles, where you're storing images, there are too many images to do this practically.

And then you need to think of how to do data updates. OSM updates minutely.
Not really, the MT6580 is so old it's practically dinosaur aged. 1GB of RAM is bad, and 8 GB of storage is also pretty bad, give that it's split into 4 GB for /system and 4 GB for /data. You could port a ROM for it, but there are no kernel sources usually, and it's incredibly difficult to find any documentation on the chipset and ROMs are practically non-existent. Even some cheaper Qualcomm chipset phones don't have ROMs available, like Alcatel phones, Nokia, etc., so if you manage to find a ROM, flash it and try it, but beware of spyware if you didn't compile everything yourself.
Plus, I also imagine it's a self selecting process as only those with vitriol are the ones bothering to comment, while most people simply view it for what it is.

If I’m not mistaken, you can even have the best of both worlds in languages with proper macro support (I’m sure you know which lang I‘m talking about): The Macro call can take the string input and „desugar“ it into bitmasks / function calls / whatever you need at compile time. Then you have:

1) easily readable, string-like input;
2) built-in-your-code verification and
3) compile-time check;
4) zero-overhead execution.

Just reading Ted‘s blog post gave me an idea how lang-specific libraries / (thin-layer) abstractions (or simply additional magic helper functionality) can improve upon legacy API designs (e.g. the GLX example) by using lang-specific functionality I never knew I‘d need or even cared about. Sometimes one can learn when you‘d never expect it. :D

Unless I‘m mistaken and misunderstood the whole thing, please correct me in that case.

That's the idea behind the Language Server Protocol, and it seems they will later based on a sibling comment. I love that Microsoft helped to pioneer LSP (not Lumpy Space Princess) because there's too much of a duplicated effort done for other editors. I hope in the future they can team up with JetBrains and make the protocol even more awesome.
Either tests must be poorly written or
the bug must be very subtle.

The easiest way to make a web service work in testing but fail in production is a problem with the settings that are necessarily different between environments.

For example, you must have different database credentials between test and production, and you must limit who can read the production credentials. If the production credentials are malformed, a service that worked in test will fail in production.

And the same applies to your SSL certificates, your settings for enabled/disabled features, your flashy markers that stop people mistaking production for test....
If you're familiar with your neighbours, and tell them beforehand, it's fine (at least in northern Sweden).

Thanks for your infos, a few questions please:

* is the proxy cache an accepted use case also for commercial projects? Where can I find details about that?

* what is your recommendation for a geocoder?

Also I would like to ask you about your procedure for updating the OSM data and tiles - I found this to be a tedious process. Not at all is this a one-time set-and-forget thing, it is quite a bit of things to understand and maintain.

I use vim to write Markdown documents and task lists since two years or so.

For a while, I had some trouble with the tooling as most stuff is npm based and authors releasing on npm do not embrace system package managers (install locally vs. globally etc.). Recently, Okular (the KDE document viewer) got Markdown support, but I don't really like the default style and the font is the only thing you can change.

Nevertheless, yesterday I wrote a script and a css file to convert my Markdown files to PDF files from the command line easily (and with a style I like). The conversion to PDF is important for me as some of the humans around me do not seem to appreciate my markdown files ;-)

For synchronization across devices I use my Nextcloud.

”Boom Supersonic are planning a 55 passenger plane. That is laughable as a commercial proposition.”

Do you feel that is too big, or too small? The market for supersonic travel is likely to align with the very high-end, private jet market. Those who want to get somewhere fast and don’t care what it costs.

It may be easier to overcome noise issues with a smaller design, too.

I know Boeing proposed Methane turbofans, and they were estimated to have 60% less carbon emissions and cheaper than jet fuel - after eating the large development and infrastructure costs. You could take this even further, producing Hydrogen from clean electric energy is about three times more expensive than methane for the same energy content, leading to a moderate increase in the cost of even a low cost ticket.

But as with all radically new technology, there needs to be a strong industry, government and consumer push. The program that produced the Methane turbofan concept (SUGAR Freeze) has lost any political appeal.

Please ignore the parent you replied to. The changes you've put into the console are so fundamentally important - and brilliant. Being able to snap a window and have the code flow properly and fill the window completely is great.

In the same way that the Linux desktop has fast caught up with the Windows desktop, the Windows terminal is fast catching up with the Linux terminal.

The stuff your changing most people will never notice, but you've done more for the console in 3 years than was done in the previous 20 as far as I can tell.

It sounds great! I've recently found out that Python's rating increased. This language is loved by many developers as it has less code lines. Also many global companies have already appreciated the technology. In general, the demand for Python programmers increased and led to the growth of their wages.

* How is the workflow for updating OSM data with this project?

* What is the recommended procedure for backup + restore?

I find a lot of projects in this space make you go through an manual copy-paste setup process like if it was a one-time thing - it is not - updating OSM data is a crucial part in this process and should be part of it.
