There seem to be a "vector <-> raster" switch hidden in the map view of the ... product demo or whatever that is.

Alas, I couldn't find what this has to do with OSM anywhere, so I don't get why it's mentioned in the submission title.
Looks like every other product page, though. They all look the same.
I'm a big fan of this sort of everyday practical data visualization! To anyone who hasn't already seen this feature: when you select walking or biking directions on Google Maps, it renders a line in the sidebar to show you elevation change over the route. You can mouse over positions on that line, (or over the route line on the map) and it will render an indicator on the other line.

In this example, the elevation trace reveals a very steep section on Gregory Canyon Rd, between Baseline Rd and Flagstaff Rd:

> I have the impression that basic German is quite technical.

What does this mean?

> English has about 3 times the vocabulary compared to German.

This may be technically true, but as a user of a language, you are limited by your active vocabulary which is much smaller than the absolute vocabulary in either language. In other words, unless you are deliberately googling for synonyms to insert into your text, the larger vocabulary in English does not affect your ability to express yourself.
What do you mean by "import deflation"?
If we imagine both governments are controlled by special interests, specifically the producers of the goods whose foreign competition is to be tariffed, then it's prisoner's dilemma for those that are making decisions. (The domestic buyers of the tariffed goods suffer, but I guess we don't care about them.) I'm not entirely sure if this is what the others in this thread mean, though.

This quote

"We're feeding it to the public in bite-sized chunks."

from a non-paywalled article

makes it clear that this story is part of a carefully managed PR campaign. Not that that makes it false. But it means we should treat it with extra skepticism.
The solution I prefer is to run all hooks as part of CI as well. So whenever somebody doesn't have them installed locally his builds will just fail if he did something the hooks would've caught.

The next he time he'll think twice if he should wait for the failed CI build or just install the hooks locally.
Since you rarely encounter FMCG products in unpacked form - for reasons including health&safety, when it comes to food - I don't see how a trademark for the chocolate bar itself is warranted. The packaging is clear enough for me not to confuse it.
Interesting... i740 drivers was very broken. I remember having a lot of issue with many games.
Here's the thing. A lot of the games being saved here are games that the original publishers/developers no longer care about - that or the original creators don't even exist anymore. That throws a large portion of Flash games into the gray area of abandonware, although that's a different discussion entirely.

This is actually a place where I differ with BlueMaxima (BlueMaxima is Flashpoint's creator and the writer of the article linked here.) Personally, if I were running the project I would remove a game if the original creator asked, simply out of respect for them.

However, I think that most of the staff involved with Flashpoint would disagree with me here. It is more of a "for now, just go go go and we'll worry about organizing everything and dealing with the repercussions later." There's a lot of Flash games out there to say the least and Flash being discontinued in 2020 leaves us limited time if we hope to save as much as possible.
That is untrue. They had the Commodore PC-10 and -20 series, at least in Europe. I still remember the start up beep of my PC-20 —— it sported a 8088 Intel cpu at 4.75MHz.
The mistake is viewing AI as somehow on the same curve as human intelligence. As if AI gets better and better and edges closer on the curve to human intelligence.

It’s more a different kind of intelligence which happens to be able to do some of the same tasks. It already far exceeds human ability, at the tasks that particular flavor of intelligence is good at. We don’t need to be looking at things people do and asking how deep neural nets can do those as well, we need to be looking at deep neural nets and asking which tasks they’re uniquely capable of doing.
The funny-shaped chocolate thing? Sure, the same. Trademarking a shape is still ridiculous.
It's not insane, the point of trademarking shapes is so that customers can't look at something in a glance and confuse it for something else. In the case of kitkat, they simply couldn't prove in court that customers would recognise the shape so it didn't get a trademark.
How could they - without private key? - By not revoking and having certificate transparency we rather can see if somebody else tries to take over the domain with a new cert.
That we print money, expanding the monetary base, and at the same time China stockpiles USD and other western currencies, effectively decreasing the same monetary base.
> were the Nazis and the Soviets to unite they would have canned the Americans a few times over

Something about that analogy is off. In case we forgot, in the 1800s, the British were the guys advocating and initiating ethnic cleansing of "inferior races" via engineered famines. Various parts of British occupied East India lost a third or more of their population. It was only that regions good fortune of having virulent tropical diseases that kept the British out. The indigenous people in Australia, New Zealand, and other places were not so lucky. The world might have been a better place if the Marathas and the Tipus of the world had united to prevent the subsequent genocides and massive loss and waste of human potential in South Asia.
They do need to come up with a new design.

Intel hired Jim Keller that developed AMD's HyperTransport and the Zen's interconnection fabric and was intrumental in the Zen project a few months ago.
That has nothing to do with Javascript. If you use canonical, cacheable URIs for your requests, my method above works fine.

In my day job, I'm working on a CRM and sales system that is 100% web based and does work offline and is even offline-first (I love you Germany, but your mobile network sucks).

There may be many other problems with it but offline is mostly a solved problem in the web world.
We’re still learning how to apply it. In many cases, ML is something that can solve a problem, but it’s often not the obvious/best solution appropriate for the public sector use case vs a pre-existing rules engine, for example.
In Belgium, the shape is associated much more with the Leo than with the KitKat. Either the shape has already been generified long ago or KitKat should loose this trademark for Leo in this country.
Dutch guy living in New York here. Americans are way, way louder than us. Not only do they talk and laugh louder, they also interrupt each other a lot. It took me a long time to get used to when I first moved here, and I still walk into restaurants and immediately leave again because of the noise level. I want to have a nice dinner, not spend the next two hours shouting at people.

My girlfriend is American and I don't think she realized the difference until I called her attention to it. It's just a cultural issue.
Perhaps that white nationalists with guns are intimidating civil rights protestors?

It might be more accurate to specify “unbounded” gun rights, since your having a handgun in your home doesn’t affect anyone’s speech, but wearing a rifle to a political event may.
The English bias in phone keyboards and autocorrect systems is awful. There are lots of issues with verbal forms and diacritics. And if you dare to write in more than one language at a time, all bets are off.

I think this is one of the places where some public funds could make for good, useful research. Microsoft, Apple, and Google aren't interested in creating the perfect keyboard and autocorrect system for non-English languages, they will do the bare minimum and won't improve until someone shows them there's a better way (and it starts hurting sales).
You actually kind of proved that trademarking shapes is important, by recognising "the funny-shaped chocolate". In your mind, you can identify what toblerone is based on shape alone. if another confectioner made an identically-shaped chocolate, you could buy it thinking it was toblerone and more than likely it would be worse than toblerone and ruin their reputation.
TIGHAR are a bunch of swindlers. They've been milking this for years.

> perfect prediction is in principle impossible. “You can’t include everything in the universe in your calculation,”

The issue is even worse. Even if you just include the Earth, Moon and sun, the actual orbit is impossible to calculate. That is, we do not have an exact solution, and approximate solutions diverge quickly, and require a lot more computation to remain accurate for a bit longer. This is all related to the fact that it is very hard to establish whether a 3 body system of bodies is even 'stable'. That is, whether one of the bodies reaches escape velocity and just shoots off.
I guess you are in your late teens or early twenties? People tend to gain more appreciation for a good conversation and high-quality food as they grow older.
> However flash added a ton of apis in their latest versions.

Excuse my ignorance: I never used Flash (I was already against abusing the browser for things like that so I only built desktop apps with Delphi etc) but I do use Haxe(with OpenFL) now; is that not supposed to implement those APIs?
You would think a libertarian would support the mothers right to do whatever the fuck she wanted with her body and her health. When did libertarians begin to support restricting individual rights?
Intel needs to pull a Microsoft.

Basically the new Microsoft CEO has reinvigorated Microsoft by challenging the old preconceptions and doing what is right in the current environment. I wonder if Intel could find a CEO like that.

I still can not believe that my favorite code editor on Linux is an open source code text-oriented editor from Microsoft (VS Code.)
Agreed. As a french, I wish english were a mandatory official second language everywhere : forms, menus, schools, movies and signals.

I get the emotional attachment to ones own language but making it easy for the entire humanity to communicate is a much more important goal. It trumps culture and history. It trumps nationalism.

And why english ? Well i don't care. It could be anything really.

But the only thing that is used by most people than english is chinese, and it's only use way more locally or contextually as english, while being more complex.

English has very simple tenses, few symbols, not required accents and the industry and culture already use it massively all around the world.

It's full of useless complexity and artifacts like all language, but it's there.

Let's all add it to our toolbelt and be done with it.
> I would be on Amazon's side if their terms of service clearly stated "do not use this tool for law enforcement". Do the terms of service state that?

Why on Earth would they put something like that in their ToS? If anything, the place for that is in documentation ("this product may not be suitable for use in law enforcement"), but then again, since when Amazon does have a clue about the specific requirements of government services, to issue blanket statements like that?

> It's as reckless as Uber turning off the Lidar and as reckless as Tesla using the road markings as a dominant steering method.

Yes, you don't blame the Lidar company for equipping their products with an off switch, nor do you blame whoever designed the road marking detection for Tesla's decision to base their self-driving tech on it.
FX8370 or FX93xx but the last gets very hot.
I think this generalizes as well. People believe what they're told, even if it's coming from people with a poor history of speaking the truth, whether it be misunderstanding or lies. Further, when they realize they've been lied to, they're often bad at going back and invalidating their cache and fixing assumptions based on that bad data.

It's really hard - you are told or assume, you internalize it, build on top of it, and then when you realize that you've built on falsehood it's easy to remove that piece without understanding what load it was bearing in your tower of thought. I've found myself doing this all the time when doing designs - I've had to train myself to go back frequently and retrace the logic I followed, being careful not to fall into the same pitfalls and re-introduce the same flaws -that the tower still holds up to inspection when those components were never introduced.
That's a little more elaborate but, as you note, wrong. Just send email to the address.
I'm probably alone in this... but I would like to see the registration of a new TLD that has restrictions on it where you cannot run ads on sites that use that TLD, or domain park, or re-sell at profit. It could become a nice little corner of the internet where people like us can run stuff for each other, and the unwashed masses never visit.

Our own little club under one TLD as it were...
Another example is when discussion forum “comments” have a link to an article, but actually the “commenter” links to an advertising company’s rehosting of the article.
I wonder how many of millenials’ problems are due to baby boomers reaching their peak wealth/earning capabilities, likely continuing for another ~15 years. Certainly this would be a huge impediment to career advancement in industries outside of tech, as well as making buying a house very difficult

I’m also tired of all of this inexact labeling of “generations” rather than explicitly identifying these groups by age. I think creating a split between “millenials” and “Gen X” and “Boomers” fosters an us vs them mentality that does more harm than good. My parents are “boomers” and I’ve started hearing them talking about how Millenials are X Y and Z (mostly bad things). I doubt they would be as willing to say the same of “young people” or “young adults”. Most age-related issues aren’t due to intrinsic cultural differences but the combination of economics and demographics
I've always thought of the term changelog as being the full list of every single change for the purposes of developers. Back before we had git and used CVS or patches it was necessary to track all changes and this was often in a file named ChangeLog. User relevant changes go in release notes or (a NEWS file if you follow GNU conventions).
With a new cert indeed. One would have to proactively look at transparency logs instead of retroactively, which afaik only the biggest companies on the planet (like Google) do, or maybe not even them.
Hacker news readers may not realize that joint liability exists in many states. Under this doctrine, the plaintiff can collect all awarded damages from even very peripherally involved people. A person with deep pockets can end up paying for others mistakes.

For example, a plaintif’s attorney might drag everyone into a lawsuit they can over a disappointing surgical result. The jury could be persuaded that an operating room nurse is 1% liable for a failed operation and the surgeon 99% responsible. If the surgeon can’t pay their part of a two million dollar judgement (brand new doctor perhaps) the nurse may end up paying the two million (maybe the nurse is married to a software engineer).

While i disagree with OP, I fail to see any mention of race or inferiority/superiority of any culture in his or her comment.

Stating that social integration will fail is definitly not racism. It's forecast, and it has in the past.

It's important to take into account integration if you want the new comers to be happy as well.
I didn't realise open street map had made so much progress, the demo page looks really nice. The satellite view is not very detailed where I was checking but other than that I'm very impressed with the offering.

I think I eat the "American way" here in Brazil. I eat rice and beans almost every lunch and I just have to use the fork as a spoon..

-edit-

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fypq2qhRZnI Also worth noting that both ways are considered good etiquette in this video, but considered childish by most people commenting.

The european way seems to a piece of meat in the end of the fork to "hold" the vegetables/rice - but this would depend on always having meat available until you finish the plate? Its complex...

Changelog is a bit ambiguous, indeed. Release notes would be a more fitting name, but also not ideal IMHO. If you want to know what was changed and when, you need the commit history anyway. Also for bisecting.

I'd argue these days changelog and release notes are more interchangeable than changelog and commit history. The 'NEWS' GNU-ism never really caught on, maybe because news does not imply log/history.
I didnt think about that, but there's not always a reputable alternative checksum source.

I was thinking about all the times I had to download a windows ISO. And how microsoft had openly published what the checksum values were so I could verify this after downloading from a 3rd party

I don't understand. I'm not trying to troll here.
I would say the other way around, disputing what I wrote shows a fundamental lack of understanding the time period in which these personal computers came: it was a personal computer at home which the average person could finally afford. A computer that did not cost one million dollars but could run the same types of computations. In that sense, home computers of the day were personal computers, and they were designed to be generic enough to also be able to generate audio, perform desktop publishing and play games as well. The big machines like the General Electric and the PDP-1 and later on PDP-9 and PDP-11 were the breeding ground for the nascent game industry, since the very first games were programmed on them, so in that sense, playing on one's home computer doesn't make it any less of a personal computer. Personal computing is a usage paradigm, and we sure used our home computers for personal computing. And usually only one person used the machine back in the day.

Multiple people using the same system didn't come around until the advent of the average Joe going onto the InterNet.

French here. It's true and it's a huge problem. People confuse accepting another language in your life and abandoning yours.

They are very attached to their language, it's part of their identity. Some part of france even still have a few people trying to protect a local dialect like the nissart or the breton.

All in all, the ability to speak english is pretty low in france, and I think it hurts the country more than it helps it.

We have our own world for computer... So what ?

It's time for europe to make english an official second language for all countries.

People can speak theit own language as much as they want, but they should all be able to communicate together. Vote together, build together, fill the same forms and share cooking receipes in an easy way.

Having a democracy in 25 languages is too much of a challenge.

The problem with calling them “young people” or “young adults” is that the members of these groups change all the time while the boomers or Millennials will always be the same people. This makes it difficult to read or write about differences between “young people” and "old people" because the situation might be different 10 years later. But naming the generations will mean that the writing stays accurate.
