For someone who has done his faire share of bicycle touring using Google Maps, I can't count the number of times it has taken me to barren fields in the countryside pushing my bike through mud. It even got me almost arrested once in France, taking me riding on the shoulder of a 110km/h highway with no exit in sight.

For anyone getting into touring, Komoot is much better for cyclists.

I work for a fortune 100 company and GHE has been a nightmare. Not only do you need a team to maintain it, but then that team needs to be equipped enough to help support any other internal services (CI/CD pipelines) that integrate with it. Github.com is just an infinitely more enjoyable experience.
Wow. Watch this ad.

The article suggests that it works because it fits in with Thai culture. That's not it. I'm not Thai, and it had an impact on me.

I think most cyclists tend to ride closer to home, where they know all the routes so wouldn't need Waze Vs going on long trips in a car where you don't know the route and the road is more likely to be blocked of by an accident/traffic (when did you last see a traffic jam of bike's?)

Because as “technology”* becomes infrastructure it’s better off that it transition (via growth) into public hands. And OSM (and Wikipedia and..) demonstrate that “public hands” doesn’t automatically mean “government ownership” especially with transnational resources.

* in the general sense, not just today’s sense, like roads, bridges, power, water etc.
> There's no working definition of "essential".

There is, it's whatever your government says it is. They're consulting with experts and people on the ground to make and update those determinations.

> Water plant, etc.

Yeah there are tons of cases like this. All to be handled by your government in consultation with experts and people on the ground. When the water treatment plant needs X, they'll figure out how to get it (after figuring out if it's worth the risk).

> You say it's a strawman argument, but that would mean I was putting words in people's mouths.

No a strawman is mischaracterizing someone's position to make it radical, and thus easy to discredit. Here's what you've said about others:

> I don't understand people who hear "the economy" and appear to think of going on holidays?

> it looks like a lot of people couldn't care less about the lives of others

This is mischaracterizing someone's position to make it callous and naive, and then calling it callous and naive. No one's saying these things. You also did it again when you said "they seem to perceive the economy as this optional nice-to-have thing which governments can neatly and instant partition into "needed" and 'frippery which shouldn't matter if anyone is sick'." No one is trivializing the economic impact, in fact many (including me) are deeply worried about it. But coronavirus is worse, and we have other tools to deal with the economic fallout. The only thing we can do to fight coronavirus is to shelter until we have testing.

> Finally, please don't engage in childish condescension like your last statement.

I wasn't condescending, I was admonishing. When I said "please do more research" I meant "research what your government is doing and the dangers of breaking shelter too early." By "be more responsible" I meant don't engage in strawman after strawman to try and persuade people that breaking shelter is a good idea, because you haven't done adequate research. By "the stakes are very high" I meant lots of people might die and it doesn't seem like you know, because you haven't referenced it. Your posts have been one-sided in favor of breaking shelter.

Not to be pedantic, but OSM is just data, you're asking whether there exists software that can do this. (You might for example ask in the OsmAnd Telegram chat whether this can be done with OsmAnd.) I don't know if there is any that sticks to only cycle paths, but there is definitely software that'll avoid car-only roads like highways, try to avoid big roads where reasonable, and prefers cycle paths where available, such as OsmAnd (you can also configure routing preferences like shortest way, prefer byways, configuring your cycling speed, using elevation data...). For turn by turn instructions, that seems to be pretty standard and OsmAnd can do this too. Have you tried any software that uses OSM data?

Google Maps, from my experience, is unusable for cyclists - I don't know where they're getting their data, but one instance that stands up to me till this day is when it tried to get me on an express way, on a lane with opposite traffic. Or, when it tries to get me to go through pathways that are looooong overgrown. That's in London.

It seems like the author's main complaints are avoided if one follows the Google C++ style guide, which says:

- Don't use C++ exceptions

- Don't do work in constructors (prefer "Init" or factory functions instead)

https://google.github.io/styleguide/cppguide.html

There may be other reasons to prefer C over C++, but if you don't like exceptions, you don't have to use them.

What's Predictive Modeling?
When I did C++ I always ended up using a very small subset of it. No exceptions, no inheritance besides a few interfaces. But in general I agree with his point. There are a few things C could improve though.

One would be a way to automatically clean up resources. Maybe something like “defer” in Go.

I wonder if templates would fit into C. STL is super useful.

A real string type would be good too.
That's sort of the point, everyone just wants to create a model to further their own personal career instead of actually working on the fucking problem. I guess they just assume everything in the world will automagically fix itself once we have enough qubits?

It's either magical thinking or pure marketing department fiction, I cannot tell which.
An interview with the founders of Google from 1999 offers a more nuanced view on this. https://www.kalemm.com/words/googles-first-steps/

Google's aim was to replace other sources of information with Google:

> People make decisions based on information they find on the Web. So companies that are in-between people and their information are in a very powerful position

Profit was on their minds from the very beginning:

> There are a lot of benefits for us, aside from potential financial success.

Revenue, however, was not urgent back then, to them or to their VCs:

> Right now, we’re thinking about generating some revenue. We have a number of ways to doing that. One thing is we can put up some advertising.

So over the past two decades, they executed a two-pronged approach: Become indispensable and Become profitable. But now they're trying to pivot from "at web search" to "at assisting human beings", and that's a much more difficult problem when their approach to "Become profitable" was to use algorithms rather than human beings.

Here's a useful litmus test for whether Google has succeeded at that pivot:

If you were in a foreign city and you suddenly wanted to propose marriage to your partner, would you trust Google Assistant to help you find a ring, make a dinner reservation, and ensure that the staff support the mood you want (Quiet or Loud, Private or Public)?

If so, then Google's pivot has been successful.
Thanks for your continued discussion!

Totally! All too often cars have a direct route from point A to point B while cyclists have to wind through complicated, low-speed side roads with little or no signage to help.

That said, I think Portland has done a great job with the signage part of this problem. Signs like [1] are present at just about every intersection of bike routes, giving directions to neighborhoods and landmarks. And when a bike route dog-legs, directional "sharrow" symbols [2] are clearly visible on the road surface.

It's covered explicitly in the "goals and principles" section. They're aiming for a reusable environment for older games, not a single-purpose one.
“prefer "Init" or factory functions instead“

I vote for factory functions. They bring you pretty close to how C would do it.
I copy and paste lots of stuff into Roam, which got tedious after a while, so I created a tiny extension for Roam. It basically grabs the text you highlight, formats it with markdown, and appends the source (title and URL of the page where the snippet came from).

You then click escape and paste the snippet in a new block in Roam. It's available on the Chrome Store and I also submitted it to Firefox so should be live soon. It's nothing complicated but it makes my life much easier!

There are a number of technical implementation challenges in the compiler.

It is a large project, and Rust's got a really intense stability policy.

The compiler was bootstrapped very early, when the rate of change of the language itself was still "multiple things per day." This introduced significant architectural debt.

There have been multiple projects that have re-written massive parts of the compiler, and more ongoing. For example, non-lexical lifetimes required inventing an entire additional intermediate language, re-writing the compiler to use it, and making sure that everything kept working while doing so.

More recently, the compiler has been being re-done from a classic, multiple-pass architecture to a more Roslyn, "query-based" one. Again, this is being done entirely "in-flight", while keeping a project that's used by a lot of folks stable. The rust-analyzer has made this project even more interesting; a "librarification" strategy is being undergone to make the compiler more modular.

> The ones who benefit from stock buyback programs are board members and executives

This is incorrect. Every single owner of the company benefits in direct proportion to their share of ownership. I think stock buybacks can be a pretty great use of cash. If you like a company that you own, then there's a pretty good chance that you're better off using cash to double down on that bet by concentrating your ownership rather than using cash to acquire another company that you may not be interested in owning.

Using cash for acquisitions is the real evil that is being avoided, in my opinion. Acquisitions are where the interests of management most diverge from the interests of the owners. Managers want to be in charge of a larger pie, since it helps them make the case that they should be paid more. Having cash sitting around idle is a continuous temptation to management to give themselves a promotion by using it to buy another company.
> You seem to be finding justifications for your [ ... ] but my experience think there is some other real reason. What is it?

People _can_ have multiple deal-breakers, multiple reasons for not liking something, when you try to ask why, they usually give you _one_ of those reasons, instead of writing an essay with multiple bullet-points on why they don't like it. This is most likely just in the interest of saving time, and not to hide or avoid the _real_ reason. Also, sometimes, people take position by an intuitive feeling, hard to put into words, an understanding built by absorbing evidence and confirming hypotheses in the background over a long period of time. This, probably, is especially prone to confirmation bias if one's not careful.

> I would note that working closely with co-workers can be achieved with text, voice, video, and shared whiteboards/screens. It is probably less efficient, but are you going in to work because you truly can't afford that loss of efficiency?

For many people, this is about maintaining a healthy psychological state, for which, social interactions _are_ essential. It is _not_ about measuring efficiency. Productivity is hard to quantitatively measure in a lot of contexts, but it is easy to notice when your mental state is deteriorating in loneliness. Also, in general, worse mental state will likely mean lower performance.

Communication using video and audio and text can get you far, but for some reason it is not a substitute for the subtleties of face-to-face interaction. The communication bandwidth is just not there, a real life office is just much more immersive. Not to mention that online interactions tend to be more limited in duration. You'd be around people for an hour, and alone for seven. While in an office, you're around people _the whole time_.

> you just have a preference

Yes this is true. People are different, and prefer different environments. People vary in background, temperament, responsibilities. Some are more extroverted, some prefer longer periods of alone time. Some are mentally stable and resilient, some tend to easily spiral into depression. And some jobs just lend themselves better to remote work. Between an active extroverted salesman, and an easy-going introverted software developer, you know who's more likely to prefer working remotely.

What usually happens with CircleCI after a GitHub outage is that they're hit with a flood of GitHub webhooks when GitHub comes back online. Then Circle starts to slow down under the load of all of the new jobs that have been queued.

One usually causes the other, so we shouldn't infer anything larger from that datapoint.
I use C++ for decades, but I used it always for the projects that were supposed to last long. With that limitation, I've constantly avoided two things:

1) dependence on external C++ libraries, especially boost.

2) trying to always have the code using the latest changes in the standard proposals or the standards.

With these two limitations, and a lot of additional internal "practices" it's possible to maintain a long-running C++ project without doing what I consider "wrong" stuff.

Note: I grew up on assembly, so I was always biased by considering what the optimal code should be as presented to the CPU, after the compilation.

The smaller the project and the environment around the project is, these my preferences could be relaxed. There are surely use cases where "anything could go." But then, the question is always, why not something "more convenient" than both C and C++?

But now I also almost think that if I would be forced to reduce these my "hard projects" "rules and practices" to a minimum number of words, I would probably state it "only C allowed."

The "anti-Statfordian" theory say that William Shakespeare (who we know existed) didn't actually write any of the plays, but acted as a front for some other author. If this mysterious real author wrote all of the texts attributed to Shakespeare, there is really no way to prove or disprove this through any form of textual analysis.

But as noted, this is not the question the article at hand is concerned about. No legitimate scholars are taking that theory seriously anyway.
