Satellite images don't work as maps simply because trees exist. I grew up in a national forest and looking at satellite images you'd never know my road existed, or all the roads that connect into it. The trees make a canopy over the road and it's impossible to tell there's anything under them.

Same problem with rivers... a lot of rivers show up the same color as the forest on satellite images so you'd never know there was a river there even if you can "see" the water.

Depending on the angle of the satellite, this problem exists in large cities as well. Roads are obscured by skyscrapers even at the slightest angle, and roads disappear from the picture without telling you if they went underground into tunnels or just ended.

Now, satellite pictures overlaid with map data, that works. But just satellite pictures by themselves isn't enough to navigate.
Knowledge about how the other side of the fence works doesn't suddenly make a full-stack engineer. I'm sure if we actually came up with a ratio (80/20 vs 50/50) of work it would provide a clearer understanding about when a person is FE, BE, or FE/BE. Alternatively, we could look at the type of work the individual is doing. For example, in your role are you going to be an architect doing solutions for the back-end?
Most of that effort to archive games is not IA. It is from 2 other groups who sometimes work with IA if they all are not fighting. Specifically one group is the one going through all of them and configuring them to work correctly in DOSBox. Another is just going through and just cataloging them. Getting the metadata on that stuff is kind of tough now. Like what was the exact date a game came out on? Does it have artwork still? Is there some odd protection scheme going on? Is there an IMG file for the disks? Or is it just some random pile of files? Can you get a copy from ebay? etc etc etc. IA typically notes who is doing the archive work. IA also respects takedown notices for these games. As many of them sort of came back from the dead and are sold again, or the company just does not want its IP on some random site. A good portion though no one really knows who owns them anymore. Some have clear lineage. Some have been sold over and over to random companies and depending on contracts no one knows.

That 'scene' is also full of drama and very insular. Donate to IA to help them build better infrastructure and better search. But donating because they host old abandoned DOS games I would not call a good reason, and misplaced. Because the people doing the majority of the work are doing it because they like it, not money. IA does have some work around that such as getting dosbox and mame running in a browser. Just be clear on what you are donating to.
Once I was sitting on a bench under a walnut tree and a walnut fell to the pavement near me and got cracked. I thought it fell from the tree and picked it up and ate it. Suddenly a crow appeared and started screaming and flying around me. I suspect the walnut didn't drop from a tree but it was the crow who throw it to crack it open.
I said sorry, but it kept cursing :(, so I quickly left.

So if Intel actually stayed on track for this roadmap, they're saying "we only have 10 years left to advance our fabs". Unless 1.4nm is actually meaningless, they'd be edging up to electron tunneling issues with a contacted gate pitch of ~10 atoms across.

I'm being optimistic with this guesswork. Intel's historical naming is that cpp = 3-5x node name [1]. Silicon lattice spacing is ~0.54nm.

If you do not want to go down the rabbit hole, then Mapbox.com is the best to start, and you can slowly learn the difference between layers, tiles, vectorial, and their JS API is one of the best in the market.

Then once you are comfortable, move to Leaflet, while keeping Mapbox tile service, and then build your own.

I was confused by the title, since I set up a Sonos (Ikea) speaker recently and denied its location services request. Reading the article, it looks like the location access is required if you're on Android.
It's trivial. You just need to earn 4 times your minimum spend and then do it. ;)
If you have such constraints, why not use a proper constraint system? Prolog is in a (sometimes not so) sweet spots in terms of exploring search spaces.

For a problem like you've described, just write a SAT instance and be done with it. And if you don't know how large your solution/search space is (even a bound), then there's no alternative to creating lists and giving recursion hints.
Okay, so once ezposed to the thin atmosphere the ice sublimates fairly quickly. Does it then ger lost to space, as the solar winds rip it away? I am just wondering if ice is a non renewable resource on Mars.

If they're angling for a ruling that they've always had the copyright to the code (or at least core / original parts), then presumably any licenses (FOSS or otherwise) granted by anyone who isn't Rambler would be null and void.
You can change the map style if you want to. Settings, configure map, map style. You even can create your own style xml i think.
It's a vast and complex topic. I once stumbled on the following presentation from ARM:

The first part covers EUV, which is key to advanced nodes. Then it moves on to more futuristic and tentative techniques. But the EUV part is a nice introduction for non specialist, with pointers to dig if one is interested.

Ok.. i want to serve tiles... ok, I go here:

First option (Build a tile server using packages) ... i click on it.. ubuntu packages... i don't have ubuntu here, let's go back.

Second option (Build a tile server from source), takes me here: https://switch2osm.org/?page_id=76 ... where is the documentation? How do i build it from source?

Ok fsck it, let's try the "all in one solution"... https://switch2osm.org/serving-tiles/using-an-all-in-one-sol... ... "Page not found"

So.. either install ubuntu, or figure it out by myself?
Basic competence is just as you stated, basic. If you are BE with basic competence in FE then I would argue you're not a BE/FE. You're a BE who has basic knowledge of how FE work is done.

A few years ago I did make my own tiles for Paris from OSM; it's pretty exciting to be able to design everything.

But it's a lot of work that has to be redone constantly to keep up with map changes... Not realistic for a small organization (or an individual!) unfortunately.

What do you think grandma would've wanted? Would she be mad at the church and felt entitled to be buried through their service despite not having been involved with that church for 2 decades?

Would she have felt it was her children's duty to pay more than necessary to be buried a certain way? I'm not asking this rhetorically. I really am curious. We all want a dignified funeral for our loved ones, but did grandma make her wishes known?

If it isn't considered a disorder, how do you identify it? That is, how do you know if a person is a sociopath or not?

I also expect this being a spectrum, as many other things. Are there way to recognize the traits of a sociopath?
I'd bet it was a normal daycare.

I'd guess it was the "Klemmer Farmhouse Co-op Daycare".

If it was legal to have pet monkeys in 1981 then I'd guess there was monkey or two and it was a pet and might have come and gone at the daycare as that parent volunteered at the co-op.

The flyer and paperwork was about joining the co-op.

If the father was studying or lecturing at the university then this would change my guess. But if that was the case I'd say the author would mention it, which they don't.

The multiple years, the regular days, the rough legs from play, walking in a door, all imply normal daycare with other children. A study that size would be to big to not write up in multiple papers and kids learning with primates makes mainstream news. People publishing in 1981 still are at the university today, it'd be remembered.
Is registration required? That feels like a made up excuse. Same with radio locale. One of the benefits of an internet radio is that it frees you up from physical limitations of OTA radio.

The only hardware that I know of that they've EOL'd are their original (pretty clunky) remotes. I have a ZP100 from 2005 still happily playing music in my home office alongside more modern units elsewhere in my home.

I am annoyed by the occasional aggressive updates for the system/android app and the relatively recent requirement to have a "sonos account", but overall the system continues to work well and they keep adding new services (which I mostly don't use -- streaming music from the NAS is my primary use case).
1) The original NASA article had a more in-depth explanation - maybe we could change the story URL to use that? [1]

2) Yes, we've known for a while now that Mars has water ice. This is new science because they've built up a comprehensive map with the goal of identifying good landing sites for future missions to Mars, in particular missions focused on in-situ resource utilization of Martian water ice. The data is derived from current Mars probes, the Mars Reconnaisance Orbiter and Mars Odyssey Orbiter.

Most people do not understand how much is collected, how it can be connected, or how it is shared with random companies with no accountability. Often they are fairly shocked when specific examples are brought to light.

I would think that's more due to the huge boom in Postgres popularity than any failing of Maria. For the projects that do still use MySQL, all the ones I know of are on Maria or Aurora rather than the Oracle implementation.

> That's what tooltips are for. Harder on mobile, but there's no excuse for web developers who don't include them.

I consider tooltips to be the Norman Doors of software. Users can't figure it out? Slap more words on it!

Are they for teaching, or reminding, or clarifying? There are far better ways to do all of these. The people that need them don't know where they are or how to make them appear. The people that don't need them trigger them by accident and get frustrated they don't go away. When someone does figure out the pattern, they waste a couple minutes moving their mouse very slowly across every square inch of the screen in search of more. Even if there are more tooltips to be found, it's like reading a few sentences from the manual in random order.

I don't think I've ever seen a case where tooltips were the best solution.

You can always count on Intel's marketing team for top notch slide presentations.

However, Intel is closer to 22nm than 7nm let alone anything smaller than that. ( I'm talking about consistent product lines that anyone can buy at a store ), not some Houdini show.

On the commercial side they have a huge footing and large tentacles so they don't need to worry too much about time-frames, let's hope they also don't worry too little..

I've been using it with Flutter (mobile) for side projects and prototypes. I was disappointed that we chose React Native rather than Flutter for cross-platform mobile dev. The reason was Flutter's lack of exposure, maturity/tooling while being recognized as a better architecture not having the surface area of both its own framework and the native platforms' idiosyncracies.
You can't hide land, but how do you determine 'value'?

We have some such system for funding local government, and the values are, in general, an absurd fiction (in both directions) despite the legal theory that property values should be based on some notion of 'market value'.

One trouble is that when the property market declines, local governments don't take that into consideration, and refuse to reduce property valuations, because that would impact their revenue stream in the direction they dislike.

I think they meant an ad in the Sonos app. After an update of the app, it displayed an ad and discount code for a new Sonos product. I have had Sonos since 2017 and have had this ad only once.
Sonos does not introduce ads in playback of music. Music services like Spotify or Soundcloud may play ads if you have a free account with them, just like your average radio station.

The way I see it is that the government wants Greek nationals to use electronic payments for at least 30% of their expenses, to aid tracking.

This does NOT mean the government wants Greek nationals to spend at least 30% of their income.
I see it this way (being a Russian): it's not a copyright claim issue, but rather a hostage situation with bandits involved (a.k.a Russian authorities), and what they want is ransom so that top #1-2 nginx contributors don't go to jail for some 10 years.

Zoho is my goto example for bootstrapping and Mr. Sridhar Vembu's quote about it when it comes to Indian startup ecosystem.

>Go outside your home and see the coconut vendor or the chaiwala(tea seller). They are bootstrapped. - Sridhar Vembu[1]

This is true for a developing startup ecosystem like India, where startups have been treated just like any other Business and Valley philosophies need not necessarily apply.

>Madras-based start-ups

At the same time, I refrain from quoting Zoho as the rule-book for Indian startups as starting AdventNet(Zoho's original name) in California by a Princeton Alumni accelerated it to become what it is now and I don't want misrepresent facts by telling Zoho as 'Slum dog millionaire' story(Not directly relating to your statement).

Zoho has re-established itself as an Indian company after the IT Boom and as an Indian Startup in the ongoing Startup boom.

>unique recruitment strategy: They educate and train small-town teenagers, who typically cannot afford higher education, at Zoho University,

It's truly unique. But it wasn't completely altruistic(it needn't be) because, recruitment in India is done on the basis of degrees and in the early days; those graduated from the Zoho university(not real univ) without proper degree were bound to work there and so extremely low attrition.

To add to that, old speakers have very good dynamic range. New ones have crappy mids and strong bass so you get loudness but overall sound is skinny
Yes, I'm talking about the original controller (CR100), which were great for guests and kids. It's unpleasant and weird to give your phone to your guests so they can choose what music to play (and I will not let my kids use my phone for any reason whatsoever). Why kill it??

Without the controller a Sonos install is much inferior to a normal HiFi setup that anyone can walk to and use.
Power imbalance, income imbalance, responsibility imbalance.

Your boss is more responsible at everything you should also do - communicating, noticing issues, noticing morale issues, being able to understand an issue beyond half-sentences, raising issues with management, trying to fix the issues, etc.

So I say, damn it. If the boss doesn't understand that I'm making my last warning before going over his head, bad luck for him.

Maybe I wasn't clear enough but if I wasn't clear enough, bad luck for him. Should have noticed it anyway, he/she is being payed to do so.
