Yeah I actually feel like the behavior on Apple Maps is now quite good, especially compared to Google Maps or the old Apple Maps. It would still be nice to display street names even when relatively zoomed out, but at least it has a predictable way to zoom in to find the street name.
Unfortunately, Hans Rosling's research has dealt with the last few decades, which saw massive socioeconomic improvements that humanity bought on environmental credit. The next few decades are going to be about whether or not we will be able to pay back that debt.

This is definitely not non-obvious. This is incredibly obvious.

I've never met someone who doesn't know that eyes are reflective.

>"Well now it's not."

It never was. Being able to turn corners in a picture was the science fiction part, not the fact that those corners had people in them.

Jesus how am I the only person here who understands this concept. It really isn't rocket science... the solution is solved by technology, not by progressive "methods" of using that technology.
... I'll grant you, the Bret-Victor-esque "scratch demo" stuff was a bit of a non-sequitur.
Once he got back to the limits of human cognition stuff and the "t-ball for human sciences" part, I felt we were on track for a proper lesson from an elder.
It’s a little sad that we ended up with punycode, given that utf8 is so elegant as a forward compatible character set with ascii.

DNS’ concern over backward compatibility is a bit of a pain sometimes. And now we even have two competing standards, where multicast DNS, mDNS, allows utf8, but “standard” DNS does not.

It is pretty cool indeed, however keep in mind that's just standard component in circuits to turn signals on and off. It is just a PNP or NPN transistor. Everyone makes use of it.
I just bookmarked your site in the hope that you will find the energy to continue this for a long time.

The interesting thing is that there is a big gap between our personal life and what we read in the news. While what we read in the news is often terrible, depressing stuff, our personal life is usually good, mostly manageable and not threatening at all. For most of us, life is worth living. And notdepressing.com caters to that reality, even gives the reader hope that everything will turn out well.

No, your website is not a replacement for the news sites we all are used too. But it might become a wonderful addition. Keep it going!
Oh yikes. So the rabbit holes goes quite deep

So the transpose is really ties to the whole idea of inner product operators/function? (I'm not sure what the exact terminology is there)

So thinking out loud a bit about the first interpretation... The inner to me represents an operator that maps vectors to a scalar that denotes the degree of "sameness" between two vectors. And it's a whole family of operators that all share certain properties. It just so happens that to write out this operator in matrix notation (for the standard inner product) we need to transpose/rotate the first vector which is yucky and why we prefer the bracket notation

It's a cool insight but it just makes it seem like a mechanical operator that flips a column into a row to make things work for one family of operators. I'm thinking more like in the case of an orthonormal matrix/basis. We know the transpose is it's inverse. It stems from the standard inner products of the columns being equal to one which is I find kinda interesting b/c the inner products suddenly become part of linear systems and not just a separate measurement of a degree of sameness.. but the headache for me is that I can picture an orthonormal basis, but I can't picture it's inverse! :)

PS: The orthonormal basis case and the transpose by extension further makes me feel that only the standard inner product seems to really map to something directly applicable in linear systems

PPS: The 3rd bullet is a bit beyond me. And the 4th is also very interesting but I'm not sure how to expand on that to build an intuition haha. I'll need to digest it further

I just want a mode where I can see a list of directions without starting turn by turn navigation. I grew up in a time before turn by turn, and I do find it useful the VERY few times I'm driving in completely new locations. But most of the time I just want to see an overview of how to get to a place and then maybe when it is time to get the last 2 or 3 turns read aloud to me. But no, as soon as a choose a route my phone starts making unwanted noises and blathering about turns I need to make to get out of my driveway.
As a "normal" flyer, Southwest was the only airline I flew with in the US which didn't seem to make it its MO to have me be as miserable as possible through the entire experience.

Yes, I'm surprised the mods even allowed something so contrary to respectful dialogue. Calling a well considered position a 'bingo square' is not just trivializing in the extreme, it reads like flamebait.
Sure at a big company. But this advice is targeted to engineers who want to start their own company. Its unlikely they can even afford any of the layers of cruft you are talking about.

If this was advice for starting some new initiative at BigCorp I might agree with you.

This is really neat. I was amused by this, though:

>I tried to add a skew there, but it turned out to be unnecessary.

and then

>It should be noted here, by the way, that the sprite is highly distorted vertically (the shadow sprite original looks like a circle). That’s why its rotation looks like not just a simple rotation but also like a distortion.

…which, if I recall my affine transforms, would also be called a "skew". I think I get the point though. This let them construct the skew in a more intuitive way than trying to make it an explicit parameter.
I've just gotten enough weird looks and expressions of terror that I feel like I have to indicate that I'm originally a broke-ass hillbilly from northern Appalachia before dropping anecdotes. I somehow managed to get into an Ivy League college, and met a lot of people that were fabulously wealthy and looked at me cross-eyed and recoiled in fear if I pulled a jacknife out of my pocket to open my mail. I had the campus police called when I walked from the campus police office gunlocker with my deer rifle in a case to the outdoor activities office that was doing a deer hunting trip.

No clue how to monetize it though.
So is population dropping? Or just ridership? Or did Greyhound suddenly have higher costs? None of that is answered in the article, unless I missed it.

<speculation:>

I assume operating such a bus line is not all that expensive, and costs shouldn't have been rising because fuel is still cheap.

So ridership must have been dropping.

So apparently they didn't need it all that much, otherwise enough people would have continued riding so that it would have stayed profitable.

That's the morale I guess: if you value something use it more often.

How Technical Should a CTO Be?
Namebase | Frontend Engineer | San Francisco | REMOTE | ONSITE
Namebase is a top-level domain registrar and exchange for the Handshake blockchain. Namebase makes it easy for anyone to buy/sell Handshake coins (HNS) and use their HNS to register TLDs.

-- Why should you care?
The internet wasn't built to handle the scale it supports today. The DNS we rely on is supported by ducktape solutions that fail to serve the security and reliability needs of today's internet. For instance, compromised Certificate Authorities threaten SSL (https://www.expressvpn.com/blog/certificate-authority-vulner...), and domains get seized for arbitrary reasons, even for good actors (https://twitter.com/zoho/status/1044249648993525760?s=20).

Handshake fixes these issues by letting anyone register secure, censorship-resistant TLDs on the blockchain. More details can be found in the whitepaper https://handshake.org/files/handshake.txt.

Namebase is driving adoption of Handshake's DNS by making it easier to use and more powerful.

We are looking for an experienced frontend engineer to join our team of 4 including 2 engineers.

We don't require experience with our tech stack, just the motivation and ability to learn. For more details on the role, email me and I'd love to tell you more - Tieshun, tieshun at namebase.io, Namebase CEO

Ask HN: Best way to learn how other industries work?
What's the best place to learn about other industries? (other than the one you're working in). E.g. Work in tech, want to learn about manufacturing or supply chain.

Things I'm thinking:

* High level overview of the industry
* Biggest players
* Problems they solve, problems they face
* Size of the industry (jobs, total value etc.)
Oh yeah! I'll take a look at those!
Sorry man :(
And what's the difference? My phone provides the same things you want from yours. I use it all the time. Obviously if you can get the same thing at 1/8th the cost, it's probably not worth it to spend that extra money.

The phone is not even a junk phone:

https://www.motorola.com/us/products/moto-e-plus-gen-4

It's just not a premium "luxury" phone. I spend $45 per month on service and $170 for the device. My fiancée's phone is a $1000 Pixel, and it offers almost nothing more. Nothing that she actually uses anyway.

You need to come to Florida. Many people are armed. In the small cities and rural areas the places with the most crime are the places with the least amount of legal guns. For example, my home is in the last block of the historic district. On the other side of the street is the not-historic district.

As one might expect of historic homes, with their wood exteriors and cost of maintenance, many home owners have more than one gun. Crime is relatively low. This is especially true given there is no clear geographic demarker like a river or an interstate to stop crime.

As you travel a few blocks west up the common road, you get into burglaries and violence. You also find less licensed to carry individuals there. The unarmed are the prey of the armed.

> But unless you're a highly placed executive no one travels on the company dime often enough to bother with air miles anyway

This isn't really a true statement. Marketing and enterprise sales folks travel a lot on the company dime. I'm on the engineering and consulting staff in my company, and I travel a decent amount, mostly domestic. Most of our engineers do frequent on-sites. One might not be able to get status, but the air miles definitely add up. I've been able to get more than a few free flights and upgrades. I would say it's worth bothering about.
