Perhaps it’s a dev vs ops problem. Only ops see the journal, understand it, access it. If the dev want a journal they end up building their own.
but I think it's at least worth exploring why some debates that are popular in the US right now likely wouldn't rise up to the level of national discourse in countries like china/russia/colombia/guatemala/etc anytime soon (dubious political regimes aside).

That's a completely different sentiment from (roughly) "Hey, brother, the truth is that folks in privileged countries simply can't comprehend the lived experience of those from poor countries where corruption is the norm."

I would say that you need a certain amount of cultural capital and baseline material wealth to have the resources to spare for certain things that might be deemed luxuries or trivial details when you are really struggling to simply survive. That doesn't mean they actually are trivial.

There is also the complicating detail that sometimes people argue about trivialities because it is vastly less threatening than wrestling with the real problems.

We can discuss such further if you like. But I'm not interested in being perceived as arguing it in the sense of fighting about it or being confrontational.
Indeed, Newspapers - printing in general - were definitely driving the condensation of language.

The most telling example I once started to read in German and sooner or later gave up on was this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simplicius_Simplicissimus

Written 1668, it's written in a style that put a lot of long words after each other in a way that makes it hard to decipher to day. I had to follow a few obscure rules to understand things, one being not to start to try make sense of a sentence before reading up to the period. Towards the end, the wording was often upended completely by whatever additional constructs with which the author closed sentences. It isn't really because the individual words have become much different, but our use of language really shifted.
I've recently made the switch from Django/Flask to Rails. And I have a feeling that those frameworks surpassed rails in terms of maturity. Rails feels a bit hacky in comparison (ORM, migration management, validation and data management, etc)

This might be a personal opinion, and just a disagreement on philosophical cornerstones. However, if asked, I would point to Django as a starting point to whoever asks me "What should I use to start project X"

I'm a long time OSMer, and I'm a little confused by this, because OSM is a wiki. There are no data controls. When a user makes a contribution, it's saved into the global OSM database straight away.

Can you explain more about what you've experienced?

If you grab any academic paper (particularly two columns) there is a good chance getting the text out will be hard, and any part of the paper with maths or tables will be unusable. Sorry. I'm away from a computer now, to make a smaller example.
I am using Braintree for years and never had any issues, Support is really great as well.
I'm envious of that. I went through a master's program and I sorely miss that unstructured time to research and genuinely explore a topic. All of the learning I do these days is by force of business. I'm OK with that but it would be cool to get back to learning sometimes.

Could you talk about what life is like as a professor? I looked at your research interests and they lean heavily on the applicable-to-industry side - is that by purpose?

BTW - I think it's so cool that a professor is posting on HN. I think back to my professors and I couldn't imagine anyone of them being nearly as hip.
As a self taught programmer who has mostly utilized project based learning, the most challenging parts for me have been:

* Knowing my own knowledge gaps. I know there's a lot I don't know, but it can be difficult to pinpoint _what that is_ exactly because if I don't encounter it in a project I may not even see the gap until I _do_ encounter it one day. Supplementing with short structured courses like Pluralsight, Safari Books Online, etc has helped in this regard.

* Being confident that you're solving things in a good way. "This approach works, but is this really the best approach or is there some existing pattern or data structure I should be using for this that I just don't know about yet?"

Both of these things have become easier to address with time and practice.
I personally think the deployment story heavily conflicts with container management. I’m going to give edeliver on real hardware a go at some point and things should work very well and be very simple.

As much as I love Kansai, it’s prudent not to include it in this list, imho. At least not on the first go-around...

The potential scope and scale of what can happen in Tokyo, especially regarding startups, is much larger than anything Kansai can currently deliver.

Any of the creative business/economic activity that Kansai is famous for will probably find its way to Tokyo if it wants to scale to maximum potential... at least for the time being.

I have a feeling that Tokyo-level scale will be what VCs are looking for. Maybe once the Tokyo market is more established, Kansai will get a serious look, but I don’t think the VC-level Japanese startup scene is developed well enough to warrant that at this time.

That’s just my 2 cents...
There might be 3rd party apps that do it, but OpenStreetMap doesn't store or support traffic data flow.

This is a very interesting article and to be fair while I agree with the author's conclusions that it would be great to have a standard Linux distro to refer to, I thought we had already hit that point with Ubuntu.

Nowadays, I have seen quite a few download software pages that simply list Ubuntu rather than Linux.

Anyways, for those complaining about how difficult it is to get anything to work with linux those days were 10 years ago, I invite you to spin up a Ubuntu VM and give it a test drive :)

(Happy linux user since 13 years)
My personal problem with CL libraries is not that, but rather the lack of documentation. More often than not, there is no documentation at all, not even a readme file.. It feels like some library authors simply don't care. I'd say this attitude has a negative impact on how people perceive viability of those libraries -- and by extension, of the language.

We took a punt on somebody who was technically very good, but a total culture misfit recently. In his first two months, one person demanded transfer from his team, and another quit. He’s not a bad guy, just painfully socially awkward. He’s the comic store guy from the simpsons, on steroids.

It was a good lesson for us, because it confirmed what we always kinda knew. Doesn’t matter if you’re good at writing code, we need to get along to do good work, and hiring somebody people can’t stand being around is a terrible idea.
You missed my point. This is not about the quality of software development. It's about users bitching about everything publically (by posting to the platform's forum) because we changed something on a platform they basically use free of charge (if you can call it that, because it was financed by advertising). They act like they own everything - including me. In the real world this would probably be called antisocial behaviour, but on the Internet people renownedly lose all their good manners.

Regarding bugs: We were a very small team of just 2-3 engineers. One could argue that the business model was just wrong, but if we wanted to hire another 5+ engineers we'd have to dial up the ads like crazy (of course leading to even more user outrage). And back in those days (we're talking 1999-2012 here) our foremost problem wasn't bugs, but keeping up with the ever-rising traffic on a highly dynamic system.

I had a change denied because I didn’t attach open source evidence, so it was my fault, but because it got contested I couldn’t just redo the change.

An account vetting system would solve this. Being an official municipality it’s kind of silly that we can change the actual direction of a street, but not use our internal maps as evidence for it. ;)
> That you can’t concat two word files

Of course you can!

# cat word1.doc word2.doc > word3.doc

Sounds ludicrous? So does your statement.

Setting aside the hyperbole, I believe it would be a conceptual nightmare to start defining concat of two docs. For simple cases, feel free to make copy pasta :-)
In absolute terms perhaps. But $20 per week extra would be significant in relative terms to many workers.
Well, between Pandoc's markdown flavor and how it has its own way of letting you insert latex code anywhere, you're not going to be able to process your document using anything that's not trying to be compatible with pandoc documents.

If a church has its own Wikipedia lemma you can tag it. Most cathedrals have those. An image can be linked to, and of course the church website can be tagged as well.

For example:

But in areas with fewer mappers tagging will be limited:

It all depends on the local mappers adding and validating data.
OSM is a very flexible data model. It's possible to add a lot of detail to things. Just because there isn't the data there for everywhere, doesn't mean it can't be added.

The set of interviewees for a software engineering position is not really a representative sample of workers in the industry. Particularly at a company that doesn't have big name recognition, you're going to end up disproportionately getting job applications from the bottom sections of tech talent.

C# is slowly getting there thanks to Unity efforts with HPC# and Microsoft's improvements on SIMD support, stack allocation and slices.

Then on the browser you are stuck with GLSL 3.0 shaders, or any JS library that generates them on the fly.

But yeah for the layer that actually talks to the metal, it is still going to be C++ for many years, specially thanks to the ongoing language improvements since C++11 revision.

Metal and DirectX shaders are C++ dialects, and Google is driving the effort of making HLSL having first class support on Vulkan as well.

Oh, and NVidia has designed they latest GPGPUs specifically to run C++ code optimally.
I left it out, because I'm not convinced it works. For example it doesn't respond well to shocks. The whole market goes down. Your portfolio shrinks. (Sure, probably it can be structured as a semi-passive fund, that buys when the market is low, and moves back to more doomsday assets when it starts to fall.)
To me, this is whether you have good people around or not. PhD usually comes with good advisers who help you think in different ways than you have done before. However, such good advisers can be also at a company + you work on practical an modern problems (usually). For that you don't need PhD. In any case, once you ask whether you should do PhD or not it feels like you don't want to be left out. In that case, just do it.

We ask people to implement a relatively simple algorithm, that’s particularly practical, in the language of their choice. Then we change the parameters and ask them to make it more efficient.

It’s centered around solving a reasonably common place problem, and doesn’t require anything fancy to solve. It’s more of a test in how they programmatically solve problems over anything else. If somebody struggles with it, then they haven’t been bamboozled by some acedemic algorithm problem, they’ve just shown that they’re not going to be able to write clean code unsupervised.

That shouldn't be a problem as long as you provide sources for a contested change. E.g., a photograph of the road signs, or simply explaining who you are in a comment on the changeset that reverted your edit and providing a screenshot of your internal maps.

Most local mappers will gladly work with you in resolving such issues. Try the country-specific subforum on https://forum.openstreetmap.org/ if you get stuck.

You never had to install 2 different version of php with IIS. My worst internship by far, it took us almost 3 week to get my workstation to work, and my coworkers were windows powerusers. I'd rather spend multiple times 10 minutes to resolve dependency hell than spend again 3*40 hours doing the same thing, just with no understnding of what i'm doing.
I was once told by a professor who I respected very much how he gives advice to prospective PhDs. When someone asks "should I get my PhD?" the answer is always "no". Because the only people who will enjoy grad school are the ones who will do it anyways.

I have found this to be good advice for people who are thinking of starting companies too.

Learning the structure of generative models without labeled data
> Physiological values are complex in paediatrics. They are more than complicated because although there are published ‘normal values’ which will guide the clinician in knowing whether a child is tachycardic or tachypnoeic, these are in fact reference ranges that were initially based on expert opinion. Although meta-analysis shows these reference ranges to be at least somewhat valid, it is probably safest not to think of them as ‘normal ranges’ at all since much of the data includes children in abnormal circumstances. Indeed, the clinician who relies on these values will by definition be unlikely to have a ‘normal’ child in front of them.

Relatedly, I'd imagine that (akin to the story about choosing what parts of a fighter plane to armour) the worst health emergencies, esp. in children, are the ones where the child does not make it to the ER alive or is either unresuscitable (word?) or deteriorates rapidly and uncontrollably before a diagnosis can be made.
I'm not so sure. How strong of a moat is the data, really?

Waymo leads right now with 7 million miles driven.

If you wanted to drive that many miles in the next year, how much would it cost?

I estimate it would cost maybe $60M or so:

-$30M on cars (assuming a fleet of 200 cars driving 100 miles a day, costing $150K each)

-$5M on safety drivers (assuming $20/hr, 30 mph)

-$1M on fuel (assuming 30 mpg, $4/gal)

-$5M on insurance (no idea)

-$5M for a garage

-$5M for a couple dozen techs/engineers working in the garage

-$10M overhead, supplies, other costs?

And this total of ~$60M is with a bunch of upfront fixed costs (mostly cars, but also the garage). Year two the cost would drop in half to ~$30M.

By my math, if you had a working system and were bottlenecked only by data, you could catch up to Waymo's 7M miles for just $60M. Maybe my estimates are way off and actually it's $100M. Or even $200M. That's expensive, but I'm not so sure it's a moat when we're talking about companies with 10s of billions of cash on hand chasing a market that could eventually be a trillion dollars.

At this stage, I think if you have a working system, then by my math the cost per training mile is well under $10 per mile.

I wouldn't call that a moat, but maybe you do.
