I wonder what effect this will have on remote comminities. The places that are ghost towns now, and you can buy a house for peanuts because there's nothing there. If the average remote worker can move there, take a huge pay cut and still have a reasonable lifestyle (because no mortgage), then they're going to be irreplaceable.

"yeah, Bob's a bit lazy, and he doesn't do all the hours, but at his rate we can hire two of him for the cost of a decent worker somewhere else"

Of course, eventually this will even out, and arbitraging remote locations won't work any more. But then there will be people living in all the little towns and villages we left 100 years ago. Not a bad thing to happen.
Vingurus
Vingurus.com is a VIN decoder and lookup. Any vehicle has a unique code which is always 17 characters long. By decoding this code you can learn new information about your vehicle or vehicle you want to buy. Just enter the VIN code on our website and you’ll get full information about the car.
First of all, you will get the photos of vehicle damage by VIN code. Also, we will provide you recorded cases in accident reports, set the exact mileage. Moreover, you could check the vehicle's odometer. These are only basic points of our report. Thanks to our company vingurus and VIN code you can find out the whole vehicle history. You will also be pleasantly surprised by our prices too, which are much lower than competitors.
Many still have a question: how to find out history on a reconstructed title? And in this case www.vingurus.com/ will help you.
Yes. The original authors of DikuMUD were all students at DIKU when they wrote it.
Yes thanks,i think i needed that kind of rough answer to stop validating myself on someone else's opinion and understand my inner-self better to improve myself.

I understand your point very well,i have started journalling to understand things better,the reason i asked because i find this community very helpful and they really are and regarding the email i guess it doesn't gets visible unless you explicitly add in about section and not just in email section of your profile,sorry for the trouble and its ok..

Anyway thanks for getting back :)
But that's the point. There are no resources to fund those "nice projects" that don't fall into resource extraction, military industrial complex, or advertising. There is absolutely a need for geo in other applications. Nonprofits, micromobility, real estate, and news organizations are big ones that come to mind. But funding, and the experts required to create those applications, not so much. The air has been sucked out of the room.
I finished two courses on the list. All I feel is: I wish I had watch/read this earlier.

I thinks I had much more fun from these courses after I have done many real projects in these years.

Maybe you get bored because it's little bit easy and basic for you.

A bathroom-cleaning robot/s that can do tile floors, sinks, mirrors, counters, showers, and tubs. Cleaning bathrooms is a really, really sucky chore.

Also, yard trimming/cleaning robots/drones more than just lawnmowers. Bonus points for cleaning-up after olive/plum trees and sculpting topiaries.

A sink/dishwasher robot combination that can clear plates, separate food waste and optionally compost, load a dishwasher, and "hand"-wash what cannot be dishwashed. Bonus points for clearing the table and putting away clean dishes automatically.

A good, automatic gutter cleaner robot and/or an inexpensive, modular, micromesh stainless steel gutter guard that doesn't suck.

A quality full-tower/super-tower case (similar to what CaseLabs produced) that actually holds an EATX or Supermicro server board comfortably, can support water cooling with an optional distro plate, can hold 11 3.5" drives, 4 2.5" drives, 2 5.25" bays, 6 200mm fans, 2 double-wide relocated GPUs, and options for RGB, temp monitoring, and fan controls that work under Linux, FreeBSD, hackintosh, and Windows. Options for color and tempered glass windows.

Harbor Freight-alike that has better quality, is online-only, no coupons/gimmicks, and ships must faster. Between HF and a McMasters. (HF ecomm, customer service, and shipping are a clusterf.)

Smart home integration amongst different brands and complementary products, preferably with open standards or a "Dolby NR"-meets-AWS for smart home APIs. For example, I bought an Awair IAQM only to discover they were dropping all of their integrations, including with their parent company's thermostat, Emerson Sensi. My Filtrete Smart air filters should work with Nest and Emerson. An IAQM should be able to turn on the central air fan if the indoor particle levels are high or if a smart smoke detector detects experiences a false alarm.

Also, turnkey smart home integration modules for Arduino, RPi, ESP32, and general electronics.
Yes.

> Won't work if you're already in a string

This doesn't make sense. How can you search for a string if you're already in a string? I can't think of a realistic situation where that would be useful or even really possible.

> or if there are escaped quotes in the string.

Solvable:

'(\'|\\|[^\'])*'|"(\"|\\|[^\"])*"

> Also won't work if you have two or more double quoted strings that both contain an apostrophe.

The regex in my previous comment already solves that. See: https://repl.it/repls/SolidCapitalProgram

Also note that Apple AArch64 (ie arm64) has a slightly different calling convention than Linux aarch64, which is going to influence pretty much any compiler/jit/runtime here.
Ask HN: Best Video Call Solution for Elderly
Hi HN, I’m looking for a device that I can give to my grandmother that she can use to video call me and other family members from her care home. It needs to either be completely remotely manageable by me, or it needs to not have any real settings that can be changed accidentally (and can be pre-provisioned). Ideally it would be able to connect to the internet over 4g, so it wouldn’t be at the mercy of whether her nursing home has WiFi. Basically what I want is an office phone with a video screen that can connect to a 4g network. Does any such thing exist? If not, does anyone have any suggestions?
"Containerization is now state of the art and therefore the application is delivered in a container."

I wouldn't say it is "state of the art". Solaris had containers in 2004/2005.

Why should we expect anything significantly different than a year iteration on what they already use in the iPad Pro?
Yes, I agree. Just note, that this is assuming however, that no alien civilization has developed any vessels that would bring them closer to use, e.g. in our solar system so we could detect their signals
I don't really understand how a tool that enables configuration changes outside of the version controlled loop can improve an IaaC setup. It gives you a shortcut that you may end up taking, making it easier than modifying by hand some configuration via an SSH connection.

Tablet with Kid/Kiosk mode to only allow one app? E.g. iPad with Facetime?
A laptop (or desktop!) computer has a significantly higher energy budget than the iPad. The SoC Apple uses in those devices could conceivably be clocked higher and/or have more cores than the A12 parts they're currently using in the iPad Pro.
This has been my experience too.

If both parents are working full time (not furloughed) then you often end up working early mornings and evenings to compensate for lost time during the day.

Same is also true if you have younger kids but either / both parents work jobs that require lots of formal meetings. As understanding as employers have been, there’s only so many times one can have a meeting interrupted because a doll fell over or Duplo piece fell off an impossible structure. So parents will often arrange their day where they essentially tag-team their day, meaning lost hours are made up in the early mornings / late evenings.
Given the IPC gains of Zen 2, the single-threaded gap is closing, and even reversed in some workloads.

And I think Xeon L3 cache tops out at about 40MB, whereas Threadripper & Epyc go up to 256MB.
I can fully understand that an additional tool layer can cause additional problems, but static type checking is a large quality win for large projects. There are workarounds to achieve similar results:

(1) Use a faster bundler like esbuild, here vite's similar considerations [1]

(2) Use Flow [2] and just strip it away before distribution like this Babel module [3]

True. I have always wondered why no other species on Earth have evolved in a way Humans have. Every other species maintains the balance in nature but we are the only species actively creating imbalance and destroying the planet. Prometheus might have been true after all.
You're free to believe what you want, but the peer reviewed studies that have been conducted with current climactic models predict significant global cooling that would lead to at least global famine. The crux is not the power of the explosion, but the amount of soot generated by detonating high - yield weapons in huge cities.

And people do not live in Chernobyl at all. However, it's not really relevant to a discussion of nuclear weapons, as nuclear plant meltdowns are a completely different problem. For sure if the Chernobyl core had melted down and exploded nothing would be living in Ukraine at all, and possibly a much larger area. Hopefully though, that is one area though where technological progress has actually significantly reduced the chance that it would ever happen, in a systematic manner.
> so why do all open source licences necessitate that I allow my work to be put to evil uses as well as good?

Most likely because defining good and evil is very, very hard, and you don't want vague language in licences. "Not to be used by evil people" doesn't work, because all it takes is to say "I'm not evil, thanks".

Saying "no military use" etc will also just open up a rabbit hole of what exactly is military use, and you don't want to have a lot of court cases, and you also don't want uncertainty, e.g. somebody building a SaaS product that then has to vet all customers whether they may have military contracts, even if it's only for catering at some event.
As this piece of writing is in the genre of critical reflection on the ones own work and industry, and specifically the geospatial industry, it might be an addition to the conversation to think about the ethical history of maps and mapping.
Geospatial tech today might be about data structures, tile apis, and unit conversions, but it used to be a manual job. Mapping was big part of the colonial world. In NZ extensive surveying work went had in had with land confiscations and disenfranchisement of indigenous people from their land and imposition of European legal systems. Survey pegs have become an icon of colonial oppression in many NZ protests and art works.

"State of the art" doesn't really indicate age. It just means that there's nothing better. I'd be interested in learning about anything that's better than containers.
If you believe women should be able to choose whether to carry a pregnancy to term, or not, you are pro-abortion. Lots of people are pro-abortion. Futhermore, lots of people recognise they are pro-abortion and are perfectly willing, if not encourage, the label. Maybe this is taboo in your upbringing and social circle but to make the claim that "almost no one" is pro-abortion is beyond wrong.

Your local puritanical propaganda is winning, it would seem. I'm european. I see the conversation as explicitly pro-abortion and anti-abortion. Now and then the anti-abortionists try to americanize and call themselves pro-life but few buy it.

I've always wondered why there isn't a general purpose purely functional language that computes a graph of deps and implicitly parallelizes all operations. For some things, like a map over a list, I understand that the overhead of distributing the work is greater than just using one thread, but for things known at compile time (like deps between variables), the cost should be zero to distribute.

I want the home game version, Chefbot 9 million. Serious. I don't feel like cooking all the time and end up eating unhealthily. As long as its bumper doesn't get stuck or battery runs out before cleaning up the kitchen and docking at the home charger.

There are a lot of complex physical jobs people perform that could be automated with enough enginerding and dedication.
Fast for you, slow for everybody else. You are putting the burden of making sense of what you say onto the other side.

If your speech messages are concise and follow a bottom line first approach, this could be okay.
After a certain length and complexity the other side will have to take notes. If you are not a clear speaker they will have to relisten and take notes.

Additionally speech is usearchable which could be very bad for the other side as well — imagine someone who has to listen through 10 speech messages to figure out what you said.

My girlfriend once had a manager who loved speech messages as well (I heard some of them). These messages were 15 minutes long, full of chitchat about her live and the workplace and somewhere around minute 9 the three sentences that should have been communicated to my girlfriend appeared.

My girlfriend told me that she wasn't the only person who would just completely ignore these messages with the sentence if it would be important, she would send us an email.

So if one is in a position where one can offload the burden of decyphering and searching for meaning in the words to others, speech messages are certainly comfortable for the sender. Sometimes they are also totally fine (e.g. to loved ones, friends, people where you know they hate reading).

But in most cases you are creating work for others — work multiplied by the number of receivers and number of times they have to listen through your stuff.

Imagine e.g. if you work in IT support and all you get is speech messages. That would be hell.

I wonder how this would impact developers who primarily use a MacBook for development. A lot of the compile toolchain is optimized for Intel based x86 CPUs. If buying a Mac means that I end up with a slower build every time I compile, I would buy Windows.
state of the art

phrase of state

Definitely useful for IFR procedures and such, but so much of basic skill is VFR, looking outside. Last I tried a sim on screens, it was like watching a movie through a keyhole. I guess VR goggles are finally an option now, but even then, you don't get bodily feedback. Can you really learn turn coordination without having felt it in the seat of your pants?
The article doesn't live up to the title (on Hacker News). Or, really, the actual title. SaaS means nothing to the developer of an iPhone/iPad app. Apple offers distribution, collection, and a limited form of discoverability. In addition - people don't talk about this much, but it's real - if you sell an app direct, no matter how much you protect it, if it's popular sooner or later some hacker will break your protection and offer downloads of your app for free. Apple protects you from your revenue suddenly going to zero because somebody "cracked" your app. That's why it's still possible to make millions from a $1 app. Not a bad deal.
Seems like this technique is not precise enough to resolve the likes of MH370? Otherwise at the rate they're going they could find the wreck soon.
I open new windows constantly. Opening the actual browser though is a whole other story, where the difference is even more striking.

Curious what you said about FF reorganizing the window contents, in my experience Chrome does that and not FF.

It's true JS performance is quite similar. But I've noticed (measured) differences in page load speed as well -- including latency again, the time until it actually responds to the enter key and initiates a network request. (In the network panel this is reported as Stalled.)
Depending on the method used averaging the files would just result in a file with multiple watermarks (think something like a bloom filter). At any rate the worst that could happen is that the watermark doesn't work, which is a shame for the person that added it but doesn't really affect anyone else.

Preventing the attacker from adding arbitrary IDs is as easy as cryptographically signing the ID (requires more bits, but the available space is huge).
I never said basic, you added that to change the meaning to what you want it to be. CNC routers are often described as "the right tool for the job" by machinists, and they can run into the millions.

These magic boxes were always designed to solve specific problems. That's the generally used English meaning of tool. In my experience, people largely object to the word tool because they don't think it sounds important enough. Too bad for those people that it fits so well.
I learned English from Guybrush Trephwood, the mighty pirate.
Wouldn't a fairer comparison be at a higher resolution? At this resolution it's probably not the GPU that is a bottleneck for a system with a 2080Ti in it.
It probably would have been easier to just translate the quote in your head instead of apologizing for it: "What is intoxicating about bad taste is the aristocratic pleasure of displeasing"
Yup. But they still support the feature and sold people on that benefit. So whether the product is still accepting new sign ups is neither here nor there. They are part of the “problem” that they are railing against.
> Mac ARM laptops mean cloud ARM VMs.

If you develop for Mac, chances are you want your CI to use the same target hardware, which means cloud ARM hardware to run Mac VMs.
