This is NOT a role for the OSM[0]. In many cases it is the best source of map data, but it will never be the sole single authoritative source of truth.

Treating it as one is horrible idea and will end in tears.

Well done. Both Guietta and PySimpleGUI surprised me by implementing an Internal DSL for Python. Both leverage Python's List literals to define a GUI grid layout. PySimpleGUI uses nested Lists to define the grid with a .WidgetType() style method used in each slot.

Guietta starts with a Builder Factory method with List literal varargs (one List arg per grid row). Instead of .WidgetType() wrappers, Guietta infers widget type based on List element type and string formatting rules. The resulting column aligned code has the visual look and feel of a grid/table and makes it very readable. The choice of Qt-only seems reasonable.

There is probably a category of DSLs that try to mimic a grid/table layout rather than a natural language DSL (many Ruby style Internal DSLs). This is definitely the style I use for SQL DDL, using a strict grid-like layout for the column constraints and moving the verbose parts (like CHECK constraints) to the table constraints section at the end.
Amen to that.

I love my boy to death, but there hasn't been anyone, from family members to his teachers that has said he was 'easy'. He is polite and nice, but sucks your energy with all the 'whys?' and curiosity. Is amazing to read deep space science books to your 5 year old, is exhausting to try and find answers for 3 hours for every little question he has (one afternoon, we went from talking about atoms in rocks/minerals and ended up with questions about the Big Bang, it is amazing, but it tiresome as hell)

The main reason that landing strip is where it is is because of noise pollution rules. Schiphol was/is growing very fast as an international hub (faster still now that Heathrow will be out of the EU) and that caused a lot of flights over densely populated areas. There was some talk about moving the airport into the sea but that didn't work out either so in the end they added another strip in a relatively unpopulated area that allowed starts and landings from the direction of Alkmaar / Heemskerk / Beverwijk. Most of those including the line-up turns are over agrarian areas, though in some cases the agrarian strip is only a few 100 meters wide, for instance between Heemskerk and Uitgeest where a lot of planes make their turn into final approach.

I fully agree with your proposal, but I want to highlight that the last sentence is in fact wrong (unfortunately, IMHO).

I suspect that physical stores usually charge the same price to every customer only for practical reasons, namely because they have to display a price. They use as many ways as possible however to override it and apply personalized prices: fidelity cards, coupons, happy hours, student and veteran discounts, partnerships with credit cards or airlines, private sales and so on.
Such explanations are not reassuring. The problem for me isn't whether LinkedIn is actually using the clipboard, it's the very fact that they have access to it and can do that in principle. Why do apps even have unrestricted access to the clipboard? Do we give apps unrestricted access to cookies? No.

I wonder if/how AI personal agents would be able to help in this regard, trained to spot when attention is being manipulated in a certain way and inform you of that. Like the sunk cost fallacy, which is also in that list, it can offer you a warning like: "You are entering a step by step procedure, this can trick your mind into finalizing the purchase even if you are not very committed yet." - or something like: "Prices and quantities in this list seem to be manipulated in a way that tricks your mind into buying more than you actually need." and similar like these.
Note that there are some fusion designs that do not result in radioactive waste. They're not the easiest to build though, so are unlikely to be what we use for first or second generation plants. For example, neutrons hitting lithium shielding produce tritium and helium, which can be fed back into the fusion reaction as fuel.
Like I said, most of it is not true encryption but privacy codes or digital talk group settings. Encryption does happen on amatuer radio even though it's supposed to be illegal.

I wouldn't use "Who is hiring" as a significant representation of "market software for engineers".

Car navigation? Locating shops? Generally no, and overtaking Google Maps is hard in this fields.

Hiking, cycling - Google Maps is not usable, at least in places that I visited, while OSM was great.

Doing anything interesting with data, like making own map, making map-based decorations (I made some laser-cut maps), research involving geodata, data analysis and anything more interesting - it requires access to data.

OpenStreetMap is allowing to do things completely out of scope of Google Maps, so in many cases it is not even competing.

But if you are individual driving car and you are not trying to eliminate Google from your life? Then Google Maps app is often superior.
I'm torn on this, given that I may also want to exercise this right as a creator, but ultimately, I would probably side with those who want to get rid of this right. In a society increasingly divided along party lines, the logical conclusion of this right would be that creators on each side deny businesses on the other side (and, consequently, the people on the other side) to consume their content. Hence there would be no more opportunities for shared cultural experiences. This would expedite the partisan divide even further, which is bad because we rely on some shared culture to keep our institutions functional and legitimised.

(Side note: In retrospect, this reads like I'm talking about the US society, but I'm not from the US. You can see the same rifts opening in other Western countries, although probably slower on most of them.)

If you are halfway competent ISV, you don't have a problem. Sure, there is no polished SDK that contains the entire world, but everything needed is available in respective repos.

You also do not need to support every release of Kali and Slackware. If you focus on the most used distribution(s), you won't have a problem with support. Even Microsoft can do it today.

>> Hiring Based on Side Projects: Unfair, But Good For the World

I don't see how hiring based on side projects is unfair in any way.
Ignoring people's side projects is essentially a punishment for those who do invest a lot of time in them. It's not like the side project built itself. We should not punish people by ignoring their surplus efforts.

There are two ways to go about it:

1. Reward people for building real stuff and improving their skills in an area which is relevant to the position that they're applying for.

2. Reward people for being good at taking whiteboard tests, social scheming, rehearsing job interviews and solving pointless abstract puzzles that have nothing to do with the position that they're applying for.

I can't imagine how anyone could justify #2 as being the better option. It's disturbing that this article even needs to be written. Do people actually think that the second option is even viable?

Now I understand why there are such huge social problems today. There is an army of type 1 people who were badly hurt and who are still struggling and now they're smarter and more determined than ever to make things right.
Interesting, but it doesn't appear to work?
I think you're ignoring the gigantic industry of B2B/enterprise software, where piracy/illegal copies are essentially non-existent.

Curiously, that is the same industry that is well known for pumping out some of the worst/crappiest software in existence, so I seriously doubt your assertion that software piracy is at the core of the problem.

I think the main reason is that most people don't really care about "bulletproof" software, they'd rather have something with more features, or cheaper, or easier to use or more visually attractive as long as the bugs aren't too annoying.
The solution is to put every "entity" in it's own JSON file and use the file system indexing with paths.

(not legal advice but) I am pretty sure that employment contract 'IP clauses' in the UK can only capture provisions within your employee 'duties'. So if for example you work in R&D for a trading algo fin-tech company, the company has no say in any 'Image Processing' IP you produce out-of-office if you wanted to contribute to ffmpeg or similar projects.

I don't see how these two things can be mutually exclusive. One can argue for protecting legal rights around private property, yet express their personal disdain about the way that property is currently being used.

I might not like how, say, Reddit moderates their platform, and openly express it, and even call for action on building better|decentralized|whatever platforms, yet I might also be ultimately in favor of protecting Reddit's legal right to do with their platform as they please. It's a nuance, not a contradiction.
Philosophical question - if you code in private and never release it, do you care? Is this for personal fun, or are you portfolio building? The problem is usually when you want to assert copyright, not that you can't do side projects at all.

Would you care if the company owned the copyright? That's an interesting way around it. I was able to explore some very cool projects at a previous company simply because I enjoyed the job and I had a lot of respect for the business. I would rather they had the IP and could actually do something useful with it.

Other ways around it - STEM and outreach, summer-of-code type things? Most companies are happy for employees to do that kind of work. Lots of technical employees write books as well.

Else you go the legal route and hope that your project is orthogonal enough that you can get it approved. Or you declare it all on your IP declaration prior to starting, and accept you might need to wait until you leave to start working on it.
What is GTM?
I find that if you need more complex mapping features then OpenLayers is really good. It can do an amazing amount straight out of the box, but it does take time to get used to the API. It is more like an actual mapping or GIS program.

But for building functionality outside of the map I tend to use Leaflet instead due to the ease of use. You can treat the map more like a black box and the API is easier to use.
What do you mean by the ecosystem?
ACtually, not really! Coaches and sports scientist are actually pushing back on that as it leads to overtraining, and except for the very top of their field, mistakes that need correcting.

Boxing for example (sport I did and helped coaching), unless you are top of your field, isn't recommended to do a lot of 'at home' training as you develop bad habits without supervision (dropping the defense, telegraphing your punch a bit) as you don't have the feedback. Thes mistakes have to be then 'corrected'

“ I think you are right that HN is not the right venue. A lot of what has kept it functional for over a decade is the focus on tech.”

Exactly this, because tech discussion doesn’t usually split audience 50/50 and audience is usually more scientific.

You're right that fission power plants don't rely on explosions. However, using hydrogen bombs as a heat source is currently the only method we have for a (man-made) fusion power plant. The economics have never made it worthwhile to attempt (H-bombs are expensive!), but from an engineering perspective it would mostly be a construction project.

Hopefully that will change soon, if/when tokamaks, inertial confinement, or some similar technique are able to produce a net gain in power; yet that would require a bunch of basic science problems to be resolved in plasma physics, materials science, etc.
Dirty? This is not at all dirty. Ben (Shapiro), to much of my dislike, has really good content that some people like and others want to promote it. The whole sharing stuff is totally legal, and within the rules.

Also, if FB is allowing such "dirty" techniques, now known to most people, then why aren't they working for others? Michael Bloomberg spent like gazallion dollars for his election, he can sure take down Shapiro if it's indeed bigotry. Even, NYT has plenty of cash to promote it's content. You need content that people like, which Ben Shapiro has, and NYT can't get it's act together.

This is where reddit's meta-culture was at in 2008:

https://old.reddit.com/r/reddit.com/comments/1q0d9/the_bush_...

It turns out that you really can't have both community and scale. The attempts end up aging differently, but inevitably, to something that the core membership doesn't want to be a part of and thus the predicates that enabled its existence stop. Its A people move on and the B people move in. This is true of every human group, subculture, or social phenomena really.

I strongly recommend reading Clay Shirky's commentary on the nascent phenomena of "social software" back in 2003:

https://www.gwern.net/docs/technology/2005-shirky-agroupisit...

Or consider C2's conception of it, particularly the end of it:

http://wiki.c2.com/?CommunityLifeCycle

The Decline, the formation of cliques and factions, incidents of abuse, of intellectual violence and namecalling. The software becomes encrusted with patches and extensions, the unwritten rules are flouted regularly and the meta-rules all but forgotten. It is a time of either shrinking membership, or overwhelming growth.

The Fall, an incident, whether social or technical that makes everybody realize that things aren't like they used to be. It usually leads to a revision or addition to the software as this is the easiest thing to fix.

Ask HN: FB suggests friends after visiting same city, don't use FB phone. How?
Facebook suggested two new friends two days after we hung out together in a city. They are my co-workers.

I moved recently to this city (4 months ago). I don't have the FB app or use FB on my phone, don't have this city set as my location in my FB profile and didn't check-in into a location on FB. I never allowed FB on my laptop's browser location access. I followed a page from a local comdy club, though.

Other than that, I have WhatsApp and the Oculus app on my phone a. I have an iPhone.

Any ideas how they know that we have been geographically close? Is it possible they use WhatsApp's location info to match this? I have given WhatsApp location access while using the app.
Radiation isn't totally black and white. One can apparently exert some measure of control over short-term and long-term radiation effects by picking the right bomb (more fusion and higher neutron efficiency means less fallout) and the right surroundings (water dissipates neutrons without activation, thus preventing activation of the surrounding soil).

ymmv ;)
