They’ve added a bunch of green areas, but there is hardly any notation of trails. Neither Google or Apple is great for trail maps in their default form, but at least Google has higher contrast trail markings with names that are occasionally readable. Apple maps are a miserable failure in this regard.
WordPress should include a cache switched on by default then you have to turn it OFF as an advanced setting. That'd be good for performance and the environment :-)

But using Wordpress is no more overengineering than buying a car. (Versus building your own 2 stroke engine because it's simpler).
Interesting, useful research. I didn't know that GPS is unreliable under a forest canopy. Hmm, I wonder if hikers could aid searches for lost drones?

ActiveSphere | Bangalore, India | ONSITE | Full Time | Software Engineer, Full Stack

We're a boutique software development/consulting company.

Apart from client work, we spend time exploring diverse topics. Sometimes these explorations lead to writings like compound interest[1], creating a visual primer on elixir streams[2] or diving into FoundationDB's high contention allocator algorithm[3]. Some other times, it leads to discussions in ML or distributed systems[4], or readings like Understanding Comics, or Art of multiprocessor programming. We care about having colleagues with whom we can grow in our perspectives.

We pick up language and technology based on client work or personal interests. Most of our current work is in Elixir, Go, JavaScript, Python.

The interview process usually involves a programming problem[5] followed by a few rounds of telephonic/in-person conversations. If interested, please have a go at the problem and send us your solution at career[at]activesphere.com.

That doesn't mean they can't get business eats right. Your experience is probably a win for them, it means they're getting a lot of drivers of varying quality. Also if you complained about it, that helps them to deactivate drivers that steal food and improve their process (they can probably keep ones that make the food cold, some don't mind (like me, at least for most types of foods and if I'm eating by myself) and some will just use a microwave). If they only had high quality drivers, they wouldn't be the growth company that they are. For businesses they can change it up, maybe even hire W2 employees. And they can even have a good experience in places that get press like SF and a mediocre experience for places outside of it. Only a handful of decision makers will judge their business service based on their consumer performance or performance in other markets. They also have name recognition - nobody got fired for buying Microsoft.

> but we are talking about maps that don't show road names here

That presumes that road names are an intrinsic part of a map. While they certainly were in the past, I think there's a paradigm shift happening that's become so common we don't notice it anymore. We don't tell people to meet us at "The intersection of Street X and Y" as much anymore, we tell them to meet us near a prominent landmark like a park, train station, or restaurant. We barely even need street names for navigation anymore; instead, our software tells us how many blocks to walk and when to turn (even automobile GPS tells us to expect turns in the next X miles). I feel this will be part of a larger revolution where we might start using alternative easy-to-shate GPS coordinates [0], and even completely new map styles like isochrone maps. [1]

SiFive Introduces 7 Series RISC-V Cores with E7, S7 and the U7 Series
> But every now and then, you get studies that don't do any of that. And then a funny thing happens: correlation disappears, regardless of who commissioned the study. Both sides vehemently object to these findings, which to me is a good sign that they are closer to the truth than anything else.

Neutrality bias is actually still bias. A lot of honest people do this by mistake, thinking that there should be balance and then seeking out things that create it and disregarding things that don't.

But when A says +5 and B says -5 and the truth is +3, the truth is still +3, not zero.

Sometimes things really do balance out exactly, but it's not very common. Round numbers are inherently suspicious.
SmugMug is built on intermittent, but devoted users. Always a great reminder, though. Thanks for the feedback, I really appreciate it.

Man Walks in Police Station, Asks for Application “Since Y'all Hire Clowns Here”
No, I didn’t miss that part, I just don’t understand what that has to do with which societies have marginally more violence.

And I didn’t discount Croatia at all, if you read my comment you’ll notice that I explicitly mention Croatia has lower per capita homicides. You’d then notice that I speculate as to why some people may have a mistaken impression of them, based on their history. You’re trying to argue against claims that I explicitly introduced contradictory evidence against, as if I support them.

As for Turkey, I’m saying that a higher per capita homicide rate is indicative that more people commit homicide on a per capita basis. People who look at a country with a higher Per Capita homicide rate may come to the conclusion that there are more people there who may commit a homicide - that is what I mean by logically follows.

I don’t know how the US, or it’s wars, factors into this discussion at all, but I think the per capita homicide rate of a country is a heuristic to the countries relative acceptance of violence. I think American culture is very violent, but that’s irrelevant to the question at hand.
That was quite a story. Younger people like me just don't know/appreciate how history actually developed and why things are the way they are.
We don't assume. There will be frequent, and increasing, notifications. No-one wants to fail to notify people less than I do.
Hm, 12ms for the IR is longer than I would expect for such a translation step. Do you know whwre this time is being spent?
7 minutes is disingenuous when you consider the time spent getting into your car at one end, finding a park at the other, walking between the car park and the shop, navigating the (large) shop and waiting at a checkout. All these things are simpler and quicker if you can pop out, walk a few blocks to a (much smaller) corner store and grab the things you need.

For me walking a 2.5km round trip to my nearest local store vs driving the 8km return to my supermarket both take about half an hour if I'm grabbing a couple of things.

In terms of space - no one is suggesting these grocery stores should be the same size as a supermarket - if they are less centralised they need to hold less stock and can be smaller. If you can walk there, you don't need enormous car parks.

It may not be as ~efficient~ but it sure makes for a nicer existence.
Sounds like the expression rubs you the wrong way.

How about this instead: a manager is a representative of a team, and vice-versa. Not every senior leader in a company has time to get to know and evaluate every individual member of every team; instead, they evaluate a manager as a proxy for the whole team. You, as a team member, will be evaluated through your manager. It's up to you whether that evaluation is positive.

"Make your boss a hero" isn't a very endearing way to phrase it, but it's a concise way to say that in a traditional corporate hierarchy, your fate is aligned with your boss's fate.
Nice, thanks for the link. I'm only familiar with it in the context of music analysis (ISMIR etc), though it's obvious that many of the core algorithms were developed originally for speech analysis.
Due process would certainly be nice when it comes to letting people go, but introducing it makes it much more difficult for a company to move quickly and adjust to market conditions. If a company faces lawsuits every time it makes any decison, it’ll be far more difficult to make any decison and will make that company far less dynamic. Sometimes that’s worth it, but there are cons to introducing due process too.
15 Design Collaboration Tools Your Team Must Try
SEEKING FREELANCER | Remote

Hello,

I'm part of young European startup. We have an easy-to-use app that allows our users to mine some crypto, with little to none technical knowledge required.

As part of our app we are distributing few opensource miners (for example https://github.com/xmrig/xmrig) and antivirus vendors are giving us a hard time because the same miners are often distributed with malware. We are looking for someone who could solve this issue. This could be done by modifying those opensource projects, by working directly with AV companies, or perhaps by some binary obfuscation. It's open for discussion, end goal is to make sure that our users won't have to deal with false positives.

This could be anything from few hours of consultation to few weeks of work.

Please send me an email at hiciu (at) hiciu.org if this looks interesting.
I honestly haven't tried Jupyter (is that the only "notebook"?), but I'm glad that I'm not missing out.

I really don't get the problem that it's trying to solve. Wikis work great, git repos work great and issue trackers work great; I really don't see much of a need for anything more.

Does someone have a positive pitch for this concept? I'd really like to see an opinionated alternative perspective.

Then why does the plate have to be slowly rotated within the oven? I used to believe that it was for the waves peaks (distant from one another by a pair of centimeters) to be able to reach every point of the inside.

But if the inside is heated by conduction, which propagates evenly in all directions, then why care rotating the plate?

Anything moving on a screen will call attention to itself. A bunch of road labels "flowing" around at once turns into a huge mess.

The real problem here is with label conflicts. Say you have an important point of interest in the center of the screen already. If a road label happens to be placed underneath the point of interest label, it will look like the road is unlabeled.

There are clever ways of moving labels around, but: 1. it has to run in realtime on the client, and 2. it has to look good in motion and in all possible situations you can think of (since you have no control over what the data will end up being). This is why older raster maps often have better labeling than newer vector maps -- you can do a lot of precomputation on the server to make sure the labels look nice.
I tried to do the same thing too. Here's what I learned.

The people who are "managers" are also splitting their time. They only need to spend maybe 20% of their time in actual supervisory work. The rest of their time is spent on tasks that are delegated to them by their higher-ups. These tasks are largely forms of information processing: Gathering, analyzing, and communicating. Excel and PowerPoint. But they are typically one-time tasks that are not worth automating.

I was happy with the 20% supervision, no problem. But the 80% information processing tasks just weren't interesting to me.

When they finally posted an opening for my old job, I went to the boss and asked: "What do you want me to be, a mediocre manager or a great engineer?" Oddly enough, moving me back to engineering resulted in a second promotion on top of the first. Meanwhile, I did enjoy receiving a fair amount of management training and insider understanding about how the business works.

I'm curious what's HashiCorp's flagship product? Is it really a combination of all their various projects?

Great feedback, thanks. I personally use this exact search (my photos on a map) on SmugMug, so clearly something we should re-introduce to Flickr (or maybe just make easier to find?). I'll investigate.

> Cell phone aren't rare and cancer isn't rare. It means we have a very good statistical model. Cell phones have been widespread for 20 years now

Uh-huh, and cancer rates are absolutely skyrocketing, soon to be 50% of the population.

Why is that?

> fundamental physics go against the idea that cell phones cause cancer. We have more or less proved that cell phones don't cause enough cancer to matter.

You're missing my point. You should have said "fundamental physics, as we understand it today, can't explain how or why cell phones cause cancer, but there could be stuff we don't understand"

Have a good look at history and look at all the times we didn't understand stuff that we were doing, but we were pretty damn sure we did.
This is very true, but it is fairly easy (in that you have to figure out the DSL bits) to abstract it out (into a module) so that your resource (not provisioner) is just calling a script to setup the box specific to the cloud provider.

I started with Ansible and quickly realized it was the Apache Ant of devops. I was programming in yaml, which is really convoluted... =(

I moved onto Terraform and in less than a page of fairly simple DSL, I can spin any number of instances up in the cloud across availability zones, attach storage, setup the box, add the IP -> DNS mapping in cloudflare. Part of what makes this work really well is they have the concept of storing state between runs as part of the core framework, which is something Ansible is missing, without using an external service.

It isn't perfect, but I'm super impressed with what Hashicorp has done.
> This is no more true in my technique than in session tokens.

Which is to say that it's equally true, but you're advocating for a more ephemeral storage.

> People also put session tokens in memory, and your concern about caching and consistency applies equally in that context. The blacklist is in some ways easier to manage because it is not sensitive like a session token. It's more difficult in other ways, but IMO harder to get wrong.

If you're leaking session tokens your entire authN/authZ system collapses I guess that's not wrong, but it's not clear that your invalidation session is as insensitive as you suggest. For example, if your token generator's RNG has flaws, you're essentially enabling that discovery via a public stoplist store.

Ultimately, it's weird to imagine using something like JWT and having a request-to-authZ scheme. You have all the equipment to do short-lived renewable tokens, and then you get invalidation (to the resolution of your timing) for free and better scaling properties and a whole host of other security benefits.

I personally strongly discourage people to use JWTs at all, but if you are at least take advantage of them!
Some people are hungry.

I don't understand where everywhere does not have an option to call you back.

If it's a toll-free number, they're paying for the call either way. It wouldn't require extra staff or even extra time per call (start the callback slightly before the agent is actually free). It would, however, be vastly nicer for the customer.
I suspect the one people pay money for is either consul or vault.
So you’re saying that more people committing violent crimes doesn’t indicate that more people there commit violent crime? I don’t think your example really helps your point at all - more people probably die in Baltimore as a victim of a random act of violence than similar people in marginally less violent places.
Terraform, Nomad, Consul, and Vault are all pretty big. Look up the HashiCorp stack.

you choose the easiest case, large city blocks in a grid. Try a European or Asian city with lots of twisty roads and alleys and it gets much harder. The maps here are already covered with the names of buildings, stations, parks, hospitals etc...

I often want road names in Tokyo but they are also competing for space of transit lines as well as places with double or triple decker differently named things like there's a freeway named A over aroad named B which is over a Subway line named C

Road names are usually not as important in Japan as they are not used in addresses but they come in handy when explaining to a cab driver how to get somewhere
