I can give directions without picturing things and actually can't "picture" things at all. Although I can metaphorically "picture" things where I think about the thing and what I know of it.

To direct you to forks, I'd say "stand in the kitchen facing the bar, forks are in the right most drawer." I don't need to picture anything because I've committed directions like these to memory so that I can find forks and things myself. I don't mean that I've memorized phrases like that and I'm constantly chanting them to myself, but it's more like I have a memory of that fact and can serialize my memory into those words.

I couldn't tell you things that I didn't memorize - e.g. is the silverware drawer wider than other drawers? How many drawers are in my kitchen? Is there a handle on the drawer? What does it look like?
You can walk everywhere and live without a car in most big European cities. You cannot in US. That changes road design, urban planning, law interpretation, driving culture.

Quantum gold rush: private funding pouring into quantum startups
For most of my life I thought of myself as smart. In my 30s now I’ve realized I just have an unreasonably good memory, both long term and short term recall. In other areas of intelligence I’m average.

I would bet that many of those identifying with this study are excelling in other dimensions of intelligence.
Google cloud free tier gives everyone (not just students) one 'always' free vps instance. It works great for me.

Prius sales have dropped off a cliff. Sales are down six years in a row. Peak sales were 236,000 in 2012, and just 87,000 last year.

Part of that is that there's a lot more hybrid competition for the Prius than there used to be.
I would say almost on par. They are certainly not the same.
Yes. For all of you posting that you lack this capability, what are your dreams like? Do they not have a visual component? When I dream, I see the things that are happening ; recalling memories or daydreaming has a similar visual component.
Haskell's internals are actually pretty easy to inspect!

- Haddock hyperlinked source makes it easy to understand libraries if you need to dig into internals

- ghci makes it easy to interactively learn the language - and a new codebase!

- Haskell can dump the stages of its codegen pipeline (Core, STG, Cmm)

- Profiling and Event logging exist and are easy to use

- You can even write an inspection test to assert certain behavior holds. For instance, that no allocations occur or that some abstraction (e.g. Generic) is truly erased by GHC's optimizations
TOR exit nodes can modify some data to clearnet sites, including blocking

Try looking at Manhattan to Paris for a better comparison

Manhattan - 33.58 mi2 (87km2)
- 72,918/mi2 (28,154/km2)

Paris - 40.7 mi2 (105.4km2)

Meanwhile the five boroughs are 468.484 mi2 (1213.7km2), so literally an order of magnitude larger than Paris as a whole.
This is disappointing from a privacy oriented company. Windows had mac address randomization for a few years now. It even supports randomizing on a per-network basis and automatic daily rotations.

Not really a viable replacement if you rely on X11 or any GUI stuff. If you're content in a command shell you can do a lot though and it integrates nicely with the environment.
Shared ip address most likely. With which someone else is triggering the captcha. Or even a range of ips which are or have been allocated to someone else.

I imagine the solution should come about as follows.

Customers complain about captchas and seek alternative isps.

Someone else provides better connections without tainted ip addresses (without sketchy customers)

OR, the current isp decides to crack down on customers who are being labeled as abusive. Problem solved.

Someone is likely providing cheap internet to sketchy people, who taint the experience for other users. It is on them to crack down and stop selling to sketchy users. Ban their payment methods/identities, so cloudflare doesn't have to ban ips.
Whether they talk about it or not, monads did inform their design. rxjs literally has methods named `flatmap`
Maybe we have a difference in terminology? By central heating, I mean a boiler for the building, not district heating. Are those 'Haussmanns' running electric heaters, (maybe mini-split systems nowadays), or fitting a ?gaz? ?oil? burner in a closet for heat?

My experience was that the radiators could maintain a temperature (with some prayer), but don't pump out a lot of heat. I still disdain the mechanical thermostats: you have to turn them up and down as the outside temperatures/sun/winds change.

It didn't help that my hosts put things in front of the radiators, preventing them from radiating.

> Then when we did open them the music, wine, and cigarettes came out

That didn't stop my hosts!

I've been wondering why my chromium installation has been feeling slower recently, thanks for the heads up.

Any insight into why LastPass slows everything down so much? It seems like it has a relatively simple job to do.
No, the problem is these people only held public jobs. They are what you get when bureaucrat breeds with a PR guy ... no creative work, no-problem solving, no personal stakes on their resumes.

When they then decide it's time to be productive the lack of competence and disparity between ideas and skills show up. You'll get the case of industrious idiot.

For such people a creative task is like a school activity with no personal risk other than bad grade ... but in reality the risk exists they play for other people's money and livelihoods. I've personally observed such tendencies and attitudes among eurocrats.
Yeah, selection bias probably does overwhelm most other factors in education, which makes it kinda hard to see what actually works.
Yes! Better to derive all knowledge from first principles, the true HN way. That way there’s no bias.
Yeah, presumably the same way they solve it everywhere, which is that police, ambulance, fire, and city all have the same keys to the same bollards. And when they don't, they just use their bolt cutters or drive up over the sidewalk. No biggie.
This does look like a change on more recent hardware. I just tried the script that the parent linked from Stack Overflow[0] on my 2017 MacBook 12" running the latest Catalina public beta and it does work. I can change my MAC and my laptop gets a new IPv4 address from DHCP.

Edited to add: I also just tried this on my 2018 Mac Mini (also running latest Catalina public beta) and it also worked... Different wireless adapter from the MacBook Pro line maybe?

SingletonFactory is an oxymoron.

Edit: oh wow, it actually exists
Something like the GL.iNet (sic) AR750 does the trick.
I do this with a raspberry pi and a Ubiquiti Unifi Lite access point. You could also swap the Unifi with a second wireless adapter in the Pi to be more compact (I only do it that way because that's what I had laying around in my office closet.)
In fact, they explicitly recommend using Mojave on that page:

Why are you on site called "hacker news"?
I have a suspicion that as electric cars become more common, free chargers will become less so. Providing free chargers (i.e. subsidizing people's driving expenses) may be great PR for businesses, municipalities, etc., as long as there are relatively few people using them, but will not be sustainable as demand increases.

And as more people shift from ICE-powered vehicles to electric ones, it seems likely that some of the taxes currently imposed on gasoline may end up applying to electric charging as well, as governments will need to maintain the revenue somehow.
YC Strong Preference for B2B Companies
Looking at the stats from the summer 19 batch, the highest category, over 1/3, was B2B.

Looking historically:

2019- https://blog.ycombinator.com/yc-summer-2019-batch-stats/

2018 - https://blog.ycombinator.com/yc-winter-2018-stats/

2017- https://blog.ycombinator.com/yc-summer-2017-stats/

There is definite trend in B2B (for those seeking entry, hint drop there). Is there a particular reason behind this?

- More exciting companies?

- Less risky companies?

- B2B has better valuations?
Subway stations in many systems around the world are accessible. It doesn't take much for a minimum viable product - drop a 5m diameter tube for a single elevator from street level down to platform level, put separate ticket gates on it. Impact on surface infrastructure is much less than that 5m. Retrofit it in a few stations a year over the next couple decades.

Your take seems rather shallow. Accessible infrastructure includes curb cuts (originally designed for wheelchairs, also make sidewalks useable by the elderly, strollers, etc who have issues with a 6" step), audible crossing signals (meant for visually impaired, also alert those who are looking at their phones), bike lanes (meant for cyclists, improve the conditions for pedestrians and residents too), .... The list goes on and on where minor improvements in infrastructure design create massive improvements in public spaces.
Article doesn't include directions on how to make such a pancake. The closest it gets is referring to the paywalled study.
no she did not greened paris. she removed lanes around the seine river and now the traffic rerouted in the inner paris which made everywhere inside paris jammed like never before. that is not greening.

planting trees in paris is not a new mayor thing... it has been a permanent task of every city hall as paris has many trees.

she is at best a crook at worst an incompetent. she bought buildings to turn them into projects and said she made money out of it, writing into the yearly city financials money that she made in a 10-year deal that the estate company had to pay upfront without mentionning that and got caught by the press.

she permanently pays for useless overly expensive modern art piece that at best interest herself and a few people on twitter,

she doesn't do anything to help migrants that live like dogs in the city and at best she encourage them to live like dogs.

she is destroying the landscape of paris allowing highrise and revamping of an historical building through glass windows everywhere that will look like shit in 5 years. everything is made to last a few years of mandate.

most of the neighborhoods with mass immigration are worse than ever, dirtier , more crime, more violence than in the previous decade while people never been richer in france.
> People should never forget how the car industry lobbied so that cars own most of the street.

Please stop with the conspiracy stories. I hate cars more than anyone, but all this "Big Auto" stuff just discredits the entire thing as a bunch of fanatics.
Why this feels Medium just all over again?
You're right, that wasn't a good comparison. Still, you have 21.5 vs 26 in Manhattan, saying "Paris' density isn't high, just build more skyscrapers" isn't really reasonable IMO.

Also Paris is small but it's not like it's rolling fields as soon as you cross the Périphérique. Many of the suburbs have densities as high, and sometimes higher, than the capital itself. I wish I could compare the densities of NYC and Paris+suburbs but I can't find the numbers for that. All I could find was a density of ~1k/km2 for the entire région but that's 12000km2 so it's not a very good "apples to apples" comparison.
Can confirm, have moved king-sized mattresses, large dressers and cabinets, etc via a trailer on an ordinary bicycle. It’s really easy!

Where I’m from there’s a tradition in the bike community called a “bike move”. When you’re moving, you invite everybody to show up on a certain day with their trailers and cargo bikes. Everybody packs and moves you in a distributed manner! All you have to do is provide coffee and donuts in the morning and pizza and beer for after. Fun, community-building way to move.
I had another look at `age` a week or two ago to see what progress had been made, and I couldn’t find any code. I would be delighted to be able to ditch gpg...
> SingletonFactory is an oxymoron.

It's not, you still need to create the one instance when it is first needed. It's possibly excessive abstraction, but it's not an oxymoron.
> now you have smelly pissed over boxes in the highest foot traffic areas and people openly pissing there.

I bet all the residents who used to have pissed filled building corners consider it a net good. I caught one guy pissing in the stairwell RdC of our building. Now, there is just no excuse for that, pissoirs are plentiful.

Never. Literally never. I live in a European city though.

In the City I live in there are literally no cases where I can't walk if I have time and inclination. Norway has taken a different approach to city planning to the US.
I started my blog thinking "at most 10 people will actually keep up with this".

It's a little frustrating to have low traffic levels -- everyone wants to be famous and loved by millions -- but as it turns out I know my handful of readers on Twitter and it's a fruitful interaction. OTOH I'd be constantly trying to tune my writing to please a mass undifferentiated audience. I'd sound like kdnuggets or some such. Life is too short for that.
Just get a Hetzner. Costs very little, good exercise to set it up with a usable config. I even have one that I barely ever use.

In Norway, I generally count about 0.2 NOK (€0.02) pr km for my model X and about 0.15 NOK/km for my Vw e-up.

The same prices for dino juice in my quite efficient toyota avensis and current fuel prices was about 0.7-0.8 NOK/km. That car is now sold and will never be missed.

The savings are huge, especially if you drive a lot.
This seems like a strange reaction. Why would it make a difference if the bed is empty?

There is a documented history of this kind of thing. See https://www.vox.com/2015/1/15/7551873/jaywalking-history
Because they worsen traffic, as they create high density traffic zones which then need to have bigger highways around it, then you have got the fact that Paris's low city profile is a monument on itself, so city administrators don't want to disturb that too much, then there's the issue of physical construction of em as paris is a river bank city, quite sandy ground iirc

Paris does have areas which have high rise office buildings tho, it is just not the zones people know much about because they are not the touristic areas
Yep, Xcode is pretty much the only reason for me to have a Mac these days.

Mapping frameworks need to support map APIs to render stuff, and some APIs such as Open Geospatial Consortium's WMS (OGC WMS) requires clients to specify coordinate systems.

You can do pure functions, pattern matching, and sum and product languages in plenty of other languages that have much more user-friendly syntax, community, and documentation. Also doesn't hurt that they have impure IO so you don't have to jury-rig impure IO using a monad.
I agree that their system avoids a lot of the ethical problems that would come from leaking all the user data to ad networks.

Having said that-- ads are an unethical distracting nuisance. From the evidence of every use case outside of esoteric journals they will increase their aggression even to the point of threatening to destroy the value in the medium to which they are attached. Try listening to a Youtube version of "Tristan und Isolde" that has ads turned on. It becomes a broken video file at that point.

Worse-- web site owners have already shown that they lack the expertise needed to asses the ethics of the ad delivery systems they use. I can't tell you how many otherwise ethical open source devs used to have a fake download button from ad malware right above the real download button for their software. Never mind that the previous incarnation of Sourceforge just decided to turn evil one day and bundle malware. I don't think Github would do the same thing today, but most open source devs have no plan of what to do if they did. So we're not any better off today in terms of awareness of these problems.

Plus, adding cryptocurrency tokens to that same confusion in no way makes it easier for those same devs to suss out the ethics.

Edit: just to be clear-- the fake download button came from the ad network domain. The site owners almost certainly just leveraged ads to pay the bills under the logic, "How bad could it possibly be for the UX?" They'll ask the same question of Brave's system, or any system, and have the same lack of expertise with which to understand the given answer.
So who gets decide whether the free market works? If you’re okay with Disney not being allowed to sale their own content on their own website, how is that different from a band, author, or software developer selling their own content.

Between alcohol, pharmaceuticals, weapons, and copyright, one of those four categories is not like the other. Three of those can actively harm people. If you can’t see the latest Disney movie how you want it won’t do too much lasting harm.

Would you also be okay if the government mandated that open source software authors must allow their software on iOS even though some people claim that iOS distribution violates the GPL?
Bonus: wordpress.com has some (limited, but nonzero) "discoverability". Blogs can be "followed" so you can have an idea of which are the 15-50 people who look at your stuff week in, week out.
Is it a low bar? Chrome has the best JS and rendering engine in existence. Brave has all that, being a fork, and also the best privacy, except maybe the Duck browser. It's only missing the configurability and extensibility of Firefox, but that's arguably a privacy liability.
Sounds like they just created a new aristocratic class that was even more brutal. Still hard to see an improvement.
The air gapped power plant networks I work on have unused Ethernet ports shut off and the ones in use only accept traffic from the MAC address of the device that is meant to be there. So you can’t just show up and plug in.
It depends on the country. I'm assuming you're from the US, but (law) education in Europe is generally much more affordable.
Documentation encourages hacking, not the other way around. People are usually substituting previously-learned docs when there isn’t any.
Especially for a language, though, understanding the intended use and the direction the language is growing helps prevent undocumented or unintended usage, and early obsolescence.

Edit: seems like some basic syntax docs could be generated from their source, actually. https://github.com/mun-lang/mun/tree/master/crates/mun_synta...
The mobile radio in the Apple Watch, at least according to Apple, does not work when you are outside of the region where the Watch was purchased. 4G works fine on the iPhone handset but the Watch won't independently connect to a local mobile network sans the iPhone.

(For example: I bought my Watch in the U.S. While on vacation to Ireland, my iPhone connected to Vodafone IE without a problem. But my Watch showed "no cellular service" if it was out of range of my iPhone and a wifi network.)
Great article! One thing that wasn’t mentioned was Geocoding — Converting between addresses and coordinates. This is also a very common need for geospatial web applications.

Here’s a couple of options:

geocode.earth -> Worldwide coverage

geocod.io -> US/Canada only, but supports spreadsheets, data appends and batch geocoding

smartystreets.com -> Ideal for USPS address verification

For anyone who is looking for good 3D geospatial tools I recommend Cesium JS. It works great for pretty much any amount of data.

cesiumjs.com

Interesting. I'd love to know close or far it is from what you are looking for.

Currently it can input XLS/XLSX (on Windows) and delimited text (e.g. CSV) and can output delimited text. I am looking to support other inputs and outputs, e.g. JSON / ODBC / SQLite, depending on feedback.
>True, but a lot of those marginal benefits (over say electric bikes) exist because our society ended up being designed around everyone having a car.

I could say the most important benefit is fundamental: none of your propositions change the fact that a bike will not shelter its rider from the weather, which around here, by some standards, is at best lousy for approximately half of the year (cold, damp or both to various degree). When I look at homes, or offices, I see a pattern. Do you not?
