Depending on the plane, it's also a digital reading on the radar showing the speed and altitude for surrounding planes relative to yours. You don't have to wait until the collision warning to try and clear things up with ATC.

Not sure if you meant this sarcastically, I guess you do. However, if such a tool would exist, taking away the hassle of due diligence or at least beforehand (before starting due diligence) prove you are a credible investor it could save a ton of work. If you had some way of knowing that your due diligence work and accompanying costs would not go to waste because of the opposing party not checking out, that would be value. Note it doesn't need to give an accurate, to the dollar net worth as long as it flags you as credible investor.

Not saying anything about the complexity of building such a tool.

That screenshot looks like it was designed by me, except I would have used a different color scheme, or given you a color scheme switcher dropdown somewhere.

This is unfortunately not a compliment. I suppose it's great, but something designed by me will always be borderline unusable.

You should add some more description around the problem this is solving. This could be useful to a lot of people that don’t know it could be (like me).

What are your data sources? How often does a notification happen?
Exactly the same thing happened to me. I was reading hours into this topic and nobody was able to explain this topic in a convenient way. I even read the German sourced.

But there was one article standing out: https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/NfdHG6oHBJ8Qxc26s/the-zettel...

It is a wall of text too but the best explanation I've found yet.
How many people speak Greek in Crimea? How many are native Russian speakers?
Actually, if all we factor in is paint then if we would have autonomous vehicles for which 'paint' was critical there would be a higher frequency in the maintenance cycle using automated robot painters. I'm fairly sure if the highways facilitated 100% autonomous operation their maintenance could be automated thus driving down the costs.

But you are right, road maintenance is never cheap.

It would probably be easier to have a swarm like national airtraffic AI, all cars flying, all cargo in blimps than to maintain a complex ground network of "smart roads"
With file system the resulting graph would be too big and too complicated to be useful. You would need heavy filtering to make any sense of it. In best case it would be a decent for determining where most of your files are, but those are probably hidden system directories and .git metadata.

Most tree visualization research is focused on static rendering of whole tree. For file browsing and many other applications it's better to have just section of tree with interactive navigation around trees. This makes visualization an easier with more predictable layout, and the user is not overwhelmed with data. This approach is basically replicating model of our attention/focus and how we make sense of complex structures.

The design of file browsers indeed seems to be stuck in 80s. Online storage services are copying this design as well. Is anyone aware of better design, in form of paper or prototype?
Is it possible to sync notes to mobile and quickly make small changes? Simple Note is the best at this. Currently I am using inkdrop which is a little slower to load due to the web view refresh of react native.

First of all, the distro you use doesn't really matter that much in the end.

Two distros you definitely should not use from the beginning are Arch and Gentoo. Both are great distros, but way to complex for a beginner.

As a beginner be sure to take one of the popular ones, so that you have a large array of packages and help (forums, wikis and such).

Also, consider installing some of the others as virtual machines on your computer. So that you can try the different things on different distros without reinstalling all the time.

Consider having one of the following your daily driver and the others in vms:

- Ubuntu or debian (both debian family)

- Centos or fedora (both redhat family)

- Manjaro (arch family)

You could also add SuSE and Slackware (both their own families)

Use the machine as your daily driver and accept that mastery is a journey and it takes (a long) time.

Getting good at the terminal merely requires two things, first you must decide to use it often, and secondly time where you are using it must pass..

> Less lumpy than a billiard ball.

Well, no: https://ourplnt.com/earth-smooth-billiard-ball/

The myth is springs from the fact that if you had a smooth earth with a radius of center to Mariana Trench, and another smooth earth with a radius of center to Mt. Everest, you could shrink both of them by the same factor and fall within allowed billiard ball specifications. That says nothing about smoothness, only about the allowed size of ball.

If you actually shrunk the earth we're living on, the ball would still be rejected as quite too rough.
The term you are looking for is “key derivation function.”
Yes but most web-based solutions and most other propositions in this thread are not. I don't think you can build a business around plain text.

Tiddlywiki isn't really plain text btw. You'd have to parse JavaScript in order to extract the data. Also, I once lost all my data in tiddlywiki.

STEEM was supposed to be like Facebook, but you get paid. It turned out to be more of a "rich get richer" ecosystem, so I stopped using it.
Facebook's Libra may yet turn out to be a way for people to get paid for using Facebook. I stopped using Facebook entirely following all the negative press. I only recently signed in to strengthen my password and enable 2FA. I don't use it anymore at all. Maybe I would start again if they paid me.
Coronavirus: China reports 17 new cases of SARS-like mystery virus
I meant the latter, but "equally safe as the status quo" might not be sufficient here.

If we built planes that were only as safe as highway driving, people would be outraged.

We aren't exactly rational about this stuff, and we expect a lot more from machines we don't directly control.

But I like your opt in solution. Maybe the UI loudly complains about the risk of current conditions and sticks to <5 MPH, unless the user enables "never tell me the odds" mode.
Show HN: Retrowave Illustration Pack – 80s films inspired illustrations

> saying they will never happen feels probably just as non-sense. History hasn't been on the side of such absolute claims.

I wish there was a collection of stubborn dismissals of things that did come to pass and became bigger and better than originally imagined, so we could point and laugh at those cynical sticks in the muds.

Steve Ballmer's dismissal of the iPhone being a popular relatively recent case.

I still remember that quote I discovered through Civilization, apparently made by some popular leader (Napoleon?) about steam engines: "You would make a ship of iron and without sails move by lighting a bonfire under its deck?? Absurd!"
Hi,HN
I made 80s films inspired illustrarion pack. There are 30 main illustrations and 30 background images in the pack. Changing and overlapping them, you can quickly illustrate any startup idea. This is my first project and I will be grateful to the feedback

Distro doesn’t matter much to be honest. The problem is that this question covers a wide number of fields.

The art of unix programming is a good book to get your bearings: http://catb.org/~esr/writings/taoup/html/

Then learn a shell like bash, zsh, or fish thoroughly. A scripting language like Python can’t hurt. Building a custom kernel and toolchain is a fun process as well.

That’s plenty to get started. Good luck. ;-)
It is a complicated issue and there were number of unintended consequences. But the main one is that long time property owners (NIMBYs) are insulated from (if not down right incentivized to support) anti-development measures. Because their property tax rates were frozen at time of purchase, they do not feel the impact of rising property prices. It also has a chilling effect on housing 'liquidity', because moving out of your existing home to upsize/downsize would mean you loose your preferential tax treatment.

I added a link below that goes into some of the other issues that it created [1]. And in case you think I am trying to blame Republicans for the housing crisis, I am not. Local politics rarely align cleanly with national partisan fault lines. In California, the NIMBYs tend to be more conservative and have aligned themselves with liberal anti-gentrification and anti-development environmentalists. And the liberal leaning millennials (who are heavily impacted by the housing crisis) are aligned with right leaning pro-development groups.

Regarding your RINO comment. I think this link is relevant [2]. The current Republican party would be considered extremely right wing in any other time or in any other first world country. Universal Healthcare receives bipartisan support in every advanced economy in the world other than the US. ObamaCare, the 'radical socialist left wing policy', was originally proposed by the Heritage Foundation[3]. And Universal Basic Income was originally proposed by none other than Milton Friedman, the champion of free market economics[4]. So these 'socialists' that you deride aren't socialist at all, but rather centrist democrats pushing center-right policies.

> imperative languages with poorly defined semantics like C and C++

What does he mean by this? Is this related to the C "undefined behavior" or is the reference here to something which affects imperative languages in general?
One of the ideas for big farms is that you don't have 2 crops, you have a main crop and then you have other plants acting as a support for that main crop. Depending on the crop and climate/soil you pick the types of legumes that will cover the surface and provide nitrogen fixation, as well as reduce evaporation and stop deep-rooted weeds from growing (as they compete with the main crop for nutrients). Then you can plant wild flower plants around the fields in order to bring in the predatory insects who will protect your crops from aphids and other pest. You can also leave the isles of trees and hedges that will attract birds, foxes and weasels that will feed on insects and rodents. Organic farmers have been experimenting with this for decades, it's nothing new.
Hint: I don't mean returning data ;-)
In the UK at least, there has been a huge exodus from academia, but it’s not really visible. Great post docs rarely stay, because either they’re enticed elsewhere by better wages and no nonsense, or they’re pushed out by awful treatment.

But there are plenty of other people willing to take their place, so the only consequence is that research standards drop, which is something most of society will only notice over the very long term.

So I disagree with the idea that individuals leaving will somehow fix the problem. The real solution is to change the terrible culture imposed on academic by the people at the very top. Turning it into a business espousing KPI driven nonsense rather than a vocation. This culture began in the USA and is now widespread in the UK, and it has destroyed goodwill and IMO resulted in dramatic drops in teaching and research standards.

The solution is to scrap REF, restore direct government funding, rebalance funding from grants to departmental funds, reverse the centralisation of administration and the lop-sided admin-academic balance, remove admin workload from academics, provide proper teaching and research career tracks, and cut the number of students attending university.

This is a problem that can only be solved with intelligent thought at the top, not by people acting individually. Market forces are the problem in academia, not the solution.
Thanks for the tip, will check into that!
Kinda my point. If he has this tool it is a potential game changer. If not, why publicize a dumb tool that scavenges my bank account and posts that publicly? Where would I derive value from that? I basically think the product is shit, and degrading and worthless at best, but am trying to provide direction.
I think the problem is that as soon as everyone who has the opportunity to leave the office does so, the training effect for new developers is gone. It might be better for you and your personal performance, but is it better for the company overall?

That might not be so clear cut, and one of the reasons why especially big tech is so hesitant -- as opposed to companies that rely on the perk of remote work to be able to attract talent or pay less.
Looks really cool, however I would be more comfortable if this was a desktop/mobile app rather than a web app. I would like to have some sense of control over my data and prefer if it is not stored on a server somewhere.
Hehe, the underlying chords plays a big role, yes ;)
The concept is about the lack of a governing body that can enforce "rules". By definition "rules" (as in laws) cannot exist without a ruler (as in one who can enforce laws).
I’m not sure what you mean. Veteran players are basically the ones who decide. The system works essentially as a check on the institution of Baseball itself. If you mean to say that owners and administrators don’t have much say then, yeah, I guess you’re right. But I wouldn’t change the system as it exists today.
No, it really isn’t. But cynicism like yours drives most of them out.

>this is not really democracy

Literally every single part of the EU apparatus is democratic. Every single bit.

The European Council consists of the Heads of Government of the EU states. If your Head of Government isn't democratically elected then you're already fucked and the EU isn't making anything worse.

The European Commission is chosen by the European Council, so derives its mandate from that.

The European Parliament is literally elected.

The Council of the European Union is basically 'all the agricultural ministers' or 'all the finance ministers' or 'all the defence ministers' etc. Obviously these people all have democratic mandates in their home countries, thus the body as a whole has a democratic mandate.

By no means in any way is there any possible justification for describing the EU has undemocratic. It's actually much MORE democratic than many of its members.
A disk is rotating its circumference scraping along obstructions such that the growth of ice is steered naturally to a perfect circle. This rotation has a fixed center and axis. A ball however would be scraped towards a cylinder if the same thing happened. To create a ball nature would need the same thing as someone making a wood ball on a belt grinder: vary the rotation axis. However if there are local stability minima, the block of ice would degrade to a preferred rotation configuration. Just thinking aloud here...
I'm sure you'll get lots of conflicting advice. There really is no high road that's better than the others.

Although I've been using variations of Unix since Version 5 running on a PDP-11/45, I use an Ubuntu desktop system for everyday use. Simple because it is easy to keep up to date and works well both as a graphical environment and with the terminal. My setup includes 2 LCDs in landscape mode for graphical apps and a third LCD in portrait mode exclusively as a terminal with lots of open tabs.

As for getting started, have a look at https://www.lifewire.com/beginners-guide-to-linux-4090233. Then you just need to frequently refer to the man pages and the many other guides you will find with Google. https://unix.stackexchange.com/ provides reasonably high quality answers to many common and not so common questions.

I recommend that you learn to use terminal commands well. As a pro tip, if you are using 'vi', CTRL-] is the same as ESC. When you get used to using that your speed will increase significantly. Oh, and remap the CAPS-LOCK key to be a CTRL key. You don't want to get RSI in your left pinkie.
Thanks, sharing this with my fantasy league.
The mere word "denialism" is a scary sign of the times we live in.

Is the idea that anything that goes against the current "consensus" be removed? And is this just regarding climate change or does it apply to how we think about physics, statistics or even software engineering? Are you an "agile denialist"?

This type of reasoning shows a profound lack of understanding of what free speech is and why it's fundamental to our society. That involves catering to people who produce/consume content that is not consensus-based, regardless of whether they are right or wrong.

Did it even occur to these so-called journalists that if Greta wants to do research prep for a debate against a "denialist", then it's a very useful feature to be able to search for all their arguments and get them served to you? Or should she and others just focus on censorship and deplatforming instead?
It's not unusual, it's just that I guess the "old" media expects Google to actively adjust algorithms to control narrative just like they do. For better or for worse.

Plenty can be said about bad social influences of modern quackery and different types of anti- movements.

Thank you, that bit was very interesting. I like the idea for single threaded applications of having argv0 be a global.
Interesting. Would be curious to try it out but wasn’t sure if there was a trial available.

The copywriting is confusing and I think can be improved. For example you’re starting with a question “What Are You?”... do you mean who are you? It isn’t immediately clear who is you here. The reader or your service... reading the next paragraph it seems that you describes your service, but then you are mixing “your brand” which makes you refer to the reader...

EDIT: some of the claims for covering the whole web seem a bit outlandish...

I’ve used mention.io and notify.ly and both were very meh for us... F5bot was better on Reddit and HN and is free.

Might be tempted to try this if there was a limited trial (limited in terms of time or items)

Kansas City already has a mix of great and terrible schools, like every metro area, segregated mostly by the cost of living in that particular district.

They'd probably just move to the wealthier suburbs or send kids to high quality private schools.

Longer term, having a solution for schools that doesn't create such radical disparities between districts mere miles apart would be in everyone's interest, but that's a broader national problem.
I disagree with the critique. Not all software or services need to be businesses - they don't present themselves as one. It's a student project fur fun and maybe recognition.

You could also argue in the other direction that they could release the source and let people self-host it.

For someone with the intention to make a profitable SaaS business (which, as you say, there's nothing at all wrong with) it'd be valid advise, but there are many models under which to release software and not having it figured out yet is totally fine too.
Thank you! You are absolutely right; the start/stop is not working perfectly at the moment. ‘Stop’ ends the music after it finishes the progression, ‘start’ immediately starts a new progression without waiting for the old to actually stop. Guess it’s worth to point out that this in no way is considered a finished product :)
Yes, the premise of this article almost immediately struck me as being quite off base. The economics of pure tech companies at this point are well understood: large up front investment with near-zero (but importantly not actually zero) marginal costs.

This article seems to be written by someone who doesn't understand the engineering side of things. At scale, the extremely low cost of serving an individual request ends up being potentially costly in aggregate, which is why the larger a web service gets, the more important performance becomes.
Traditional media publications like Time magazine are direct competitors of YouTube. Their strategy here is to push this narrative that content platforms should act like active content editors/curators and be held to the same standard. A piece like this is infuriating to read if you take it at face value.
