Have you tried reporting it? My parents recently moved into a new house built one year prior and I reported it a few days after they moved in. It took about 9 months, but they finally added the road in and populated ALL the addresses on the street, not just the one I reported.
Google maps still does not have the roads or street numbers listed. Just wanted to throw that out there.

Edit: Also want to add that it has been two years since my parents moved in. Went in to Waze Map Editor and added the road myself, so their turnaround time was instant. Apple Maps took 9 months, like I said, but Google Maps still has no info on the street despite having all the houses in clear satellite view.
> No sense in wiping out every single city.

This was pretty much the strategy towards the end of the war. More than 60 Japanese cities were firebombed, civilian casualties probably exceeded those killed in Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
I was not accusing the OP or anyone here of such evangelism; rather, because the OP was talking about writing/rewriting a kernel in Rust, I was stating that we weren't looking to "rewrite it in Rust" or similar. We've seen a lot of people suggesting that the work on putting Rust in Linux was trying to "rewrite the kernel", and it seemed appropriate to provide such a disclaimer.
Correct

Meanwhile Bing maps manages to be the most frustrating experience of any current online maps.
"In the wild" one hardly ever has to write unsafe Rust data structures and algorithms.

> If the motivation to bring a new tool is pronounced as "let's make it safe", why should we allow the argument to fallback into the "unsafe Rust" territory?

Because going from 0% of code proven safe by the compiler to 99% is very valuable. Verifying the remaining code is desirable but not as valuable as what Rust already provides.

Having said that, it would indeed be great to have a proof system for verifying properties of unsafe Rust code. Much work has been done in that area: https://alastairreid.github.io/rust-verification-tools/ Something to look forward to.

Doing things like making sure medical staff arent forced to work while sleep deprived would go a long way to avoiding errors in the first place. Policy changes that walk the walk and substantively prioritize safety over profit can help create safety culture from the top down. Having more staff available in general can also make redundancy checks more feasible.
I really frigging hate it, but one of the best things I ever did was to put a custom version of the standard buttons with free spaces on both sides: now I can rest my hands on the keyboard without continuously activating the sh*tbar.
How to stop losing customers in your sales funnel to your competitors
To be fair, any language (and database) moves faster than distributions. I use language package managers or docker for Ruby, Python, PHP, Node, Elixir, PostgreSQL and MySQL. I recommend asdf to support multiple languages and databases in the same project.
I absolutely love cwm. Best floating window manager, hands down.
Google needs the competition. Search it's getting more and more laden with ads, and I have found the kind of specific technical searches it used to excel at are increasingly on page 2 after articles and videos and product listings.
Amazing response, very much enjoyed reading it.
Nope. You can report it's missing if you own an Apple device. I have done that (many times). I have also talked with Apple support on Twitter many times, and they even assigned a dedicated support person who called me several times. I facetimed with him and showed him how my complex, plus several of the nearby complexes, are not in Apple Maps but are in Google Maps. That was ... over a year ago. They still haven't fixed it. I finally gave up.

Whenever someone needs to come to my house I need to ask them to use Google Maps. The challenge from that comes from less techy people who don't know the difference. Many people just know their phone has a "maps app". I will admit, experiencing that more closely (how less technical people interact with their phones that is) was interesting fwiw.
Its afraid.
"With connected devices and the Internet of Things poised to become a multi-trillion dollar enterprise by the mid-2020s, this new type of inductor could be exactly the kind of revolution the burgeoning industry has been hoping for."

The "trillion dollar" comment was referring to the potential size of the connected device and IoT market - you seem to have misread it.
Yup, Google Maps has better data.

But, on my no-longer-bleeding-edge iPhone, the turn-by-turn directions suck. It's constantly telling me to turn onto a street I just passed, or rerouting to find a way to get me back to the street that I'm already on. The worst part is that I can't trust it even when it's right. If it says "in 300 feet turn left," I have to desperately look at the street names because it's quite possible that I actually have to turn in 30 feet.

It was such a relief when I realized that it's not my GPS hardware, Apple Maps gives directions perfectly. And the map data is way better than it used to be. Not as good as Google Maps, but good enough.
I can't believe this hasn't happened yet honestly. Apple Maps has been out for 7 years now. Also a bit troubling if it gains traction, considering Apple has been a lot more heavy handed in keeping content they don't approve of out from their ecosystem.
If robots instructions don't mention Applebot but do mention Googlebot, the Apple robot will follow Googlebot instructions.

CentOS 8 and the latest Fedora doesn't even come with Python 2 installed.
What I find funny about this reaction is that most Australians are actually either quite blase about this situation, or actually are quietly enjoying the fact that massive multinationals who will do anything to avoid paying taxes in Australia have finally discovered that their power is quite limited in Australia.

Most Australians have seen what Facebook was up to during the 2016 election. They have seen the rise of Trumpism and, despite the incredibly conservative government, don't want that sort of crazy in their nation.

I have made similar observations. I'm not really sure how to describe it, but it is like one needs to frame a different mindset to face the new reality, and then despite the reality, that new mindset brings a certain peace with it. In accepting the uncertainty and your powerlessness, you cease to plan too much ahead and just take things for what they are. That frees you from the stress of predicting the future, which then gives you more energy to embrace the immediate. And that, among other things, slows down the perception of time.

This is probably the most trite argument on any software forum, but based on my admittedly limited experience working in a hospital research environment, Windows is a serious limiting factor for medical practitioners.

Not because it's a bad operating system, but because hospitals are constantly out of money and computer upgrades are never a high priority. Microsoft does a decent job of backwards compatibility with software, but the hardware requirements keep piling up. Windows has no equivalent of LXDE; the computer in the hallway takes 15 minutes to boot on Windows 7. It's a situation I run into over and over: the damn thing is slow.

It doesn't help that, as others mention, medical software is rarely built with the quality of software engineering we're accustomed to seeing. But it can't help that the software tries to display all of the information graphically and show as much as possible at once -- pictures I have to wait to load even if I don't need to see them. This comes back, probably, to how it's sold: look at this impressive flashy window with all these bells and whistles. Never mind the system resources, and don't get me started on wasting screen real estate. My workflow begins: turn on the computer, wait, log in, wait, open SNC Patient, wait some more...

I don't know how many billable hours are spent waiting for computers to load, but it can't be trivial.
no technical reason why none of the other add-ons are allowed any more, it being merely a policy decision. I already verified that my add-ons can still run on Firefox for Android but aren’t allowed to

That makes me almost incoherently furious. I understand if you rebuild the foundation of a browser for better performance and that breaks all the extensions until the developers can rewrite them for the new model. I get it if one of my favorite extensions is no longer under active development and will never have a version released for the new model. But how fucking dare you gatekeep what I install on my own browser? Freedom from this walled-garden bullshit is the only reason I run Firefox instead of Chrome. Google's twice as good at UI as you. They're faster, look better, and miraculously I never have to swipe five times trying to dismiss a Chrome tab.

I get that Mozilla is drowning, flailing around trying to create a future where they aren't irrelevant. This is just ugly, though.

It did take Google a few months to add my complex. I'm not sure what an appropriate turn around time would be on something like this. But I do think it's less than "years".
> they're sufficiently general and easiest to maintain by releasing back upstream (where Apple, Google, and Microsoft will pay a small army of compiler engineers to keep them working).

...keep them working for their use-cases.
In the future, it's considered bad form to complain if your posts are flagged. That said, I agree that it certainly wasn't bad faith to argue that in some cases the downsides of protests are worth how vital it is, and it was a very cheap shot.

FWIW, my city had 35% of its population, over half a million people, entirely fill almost every street downtown, and there were no catastrophic events. Worse comes to worst, alternative routes will need to be planned. I think the most catastrophic thing that happened is that the cellular systems crashed, but for the most part GSM still held out so it was okay, and the stores had landlines that were used when worse came to worst.

Same during the Hong Kong protests, I never saw anyone complain about such things, and indeed I don't believe it had catastrophic effects.
Now you're really dreaming (on both of those).

> Hungarian Notation is the tactical nuclear weapon of source code obfuscation techniques; use it!

As a young programmer I worked in a very serious enterprise codebase that used the systems variant of Hungarian notation: prefixing variables with str, int, bl, fl, etc. They also sometimes prefixed for scope, like g[lobal], m[odule], etc. To this day I don’t know if anyone on that team of people 20 years older than me understood why I had such a tough time not cracking up in meetings discussing ‘gstrNotFoundErrorMsg’.
Cheap land and big house is a huge draw for sprawl.

The problem is this is a fundamentally unsustainable proposition. The US is hitting those problems now and it's not pretty. It's not just gridlock but problem that once things stabilize, maintaining sprawl costs more than maintaining a compact city[1]. The roads and the schools in the suburbs are often good only when they're new - once they age, the problem become visible (California is harbinger for the rest of sprawl land, this state has the older sprawl, remember). Poor services can cause an area of sprawl to become undesirable and then it's hard to recover - public transit is hard to add when distances are large but you can still wind-up poor people lacking vehicles in the hinterlands.

This is one of the most exciting developments in the history of the internet.

Apple has always sided with privacy and while DDG toots it, they’re too small to build an independent service.

I am thrilled, excited and perhaps surprised why it took so long for the most used website for large majority of the people in the world to see some competition.

Please don’t fuck this up, Apple.
I know this might sound blasphemous (useds uber alles seems to be today's accepted philosophy)… but one can have all the addons one wants, one just has to run `./mach build`…

Only grim for those who chose not to (for whatever reason short of missing hands or bashed in cranium), or cannot be bothered…
My comment was made in jest.

But.

If Apple wants to embrace the openness of the web that they benefit from, I feel they should not cripple it on their mobile devices.
There is no consensus because the authors of the negative reviews are the authors of works heavily criticized in the book.

What you consider as a consensus forms, in fact, a debate.

This is not "some researchers publish, are criticized by the book, then the scientific community condemns the book, forming a consensus".

Nope.

It is in fact "some researchers publish, are criticized by the book, then the criticized researchers try to debunk the book, then the authors of the book answer to them".

One of the critics is Monty Charles. His own work, done for the UNSCEAR (a pro-nuke UN agency) in 2006, is heavily criticized in the book. He then criticized this book.

Proof: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/245759797_United_Na...

Another critic was published by Mona Dreicer, who worked for the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) (another UN pro-nuke agency) and the book criticized her work.

Proof:
https://www.iaea.org/bulletin/38-3

Another one is M. Balonov, long-time contributor of reports published by UN-agencies, and the book criticizes his work.

Proof:
https://www.who.int/mediacentre/news/releases/2005/pr38/en/

S. Jargin, another author of a negative review, sees flaws in each and every publication criticizing a powerful industry. For example asbestos is in his opinion not a concern and its use unduly prohibited.

Proof:

Here is another sample of his research (is it necessary to further comment?) :

Totally. In apple's own back yard, SF, business hours are too often totally out of whack, that you have to confirm in Google Maps each time.

And I am biased towards Apple Maps for privacy and usability reasons

Sure... but needing to purge sensitive data also reflects the reality of modern computing.

What's the point of reporting anything to the Apple Maps team? I've reported stuff for a few years, and it hasn't changed nor have they had the basic courtesy to acknowledge the report.

It's not like it's some street address thing, they are missing a whole town.
Speaking as an Australian who has been following this closely, the Stratechery post is the best analysis I have seen of the situation, and cuts through the spin that F and G have put on it.
It checks out with the ongoing relationship Murdoch has with the LNP who are in government.

Also have wanted this. Operating on data locally means it can be fast and low latency (on device, not between devices).

I think the secret lies in using CRDTs to sync data in a way that allows it to be processed into another system. E.g. Postgres on a server and SQLite on a phone.
It’s not an assumption at all. We measure desire in dollars per square foot. People are willing to pay - to bid - more dollars per square foot to live in higher density.
That makes me sad as well, but I also think it was largely self-inflicted. GCC took much too long to realize that people needed a common code-generation framework, and be willing to support that and work towards it. LLVM was designed from the start to be such a framework.
Yeah, this is an iTouchless 13 gallon trash can.
You’re totally right, and I love those charts. But let’s be clear about what they’re telling us: what we are buying for our employees. It provides no information about how those costs will increase or any “gotcha” features of the plan. While it provides information about a copay and percentage an employee pays and a deductible, I have no clue if plan 1 has negotiated 25% lower prices from the local hospital system vs its competitor. Likely, all the major plans have more or less the same negotiated rates with providers, but that opacity makes it even harder for anyone to drive efficiency.

Kaiser is a very interesting example actually. Because they own both sides of the business (provider AND payer) they have a big incentive to be efficient. They do pretty well! There’s a few issues: 1.) they are still part of a larger market, so they have to pay for doctors, which means they can’t be TOO far below market salaries. Many doctors are paid on both salary and based on how many and what procedures they do i.e. how much revenue they bring to the hospital. Your doctor in many cases is paid on commission. Kaiser doesn’t do this, which some docs like, but others don’t. 2.) they are regionally limited. You can’t get Kaiser in a lot of places in the US. I’m not sure why it hasn’t scaled nationally, I’d really love to know.

Oddly, I’m told by a friend who works there that Kaiser is run internally as two halves, the insurer and the provider, they then negotiate somewhat independently and keep each other accountable.

Anyway, my pet project is something like what you suggest, decoupling insurance for employment. As an employer (and by extension an employee) I pay no taxes on a health plan I buy. I pay with pre-tax $$. As an individual if I buy insurance I pay with post tax $$ unless it makes up a certain percentage of my income and that falls above some threshold and... I lost track it’s too complicated. It shouldn’t be, there should be a way to properly decouple employment and healthcare.
> Take canada. Every canadian individual including children is paying, at a minimum, ~$600 a month for healthcare in taxes.

I’d like to point out that US public health care expenditure per capita is higher than Canada’s public expenditure per capita.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_total_h...

> They [Canadians] don't think of it that way because it is lumped in to the tax bill. Many people in the US pay much less than this.

There’s a good chance that most Americans are paying less toward gov health expenditures than the average Canadian due to income inequality. But in aggregate, it is more per person.

It really does feel like Murdoch has reached Bond villain status with this one.

He's has made the Australian government write a law that specifically and only targets two multi-billion dollar global companies (Facebook and Google) and forces them to give him more money.

It specifically isn't going after other online companies that don't have a huge net worth, and it specifically isn't even attempting to hide the intent by also giving money to the not-for-profit news outlets in Australia (ABC, SBS).

Because he controls the very vast majority of media in Australia he can obviously force the government to do his bidding - one by ensuring all his government buddies stay rich, and two by promising not to publish anything that would result in them getting voted out.

A fiction writer couldn't come up with such an outrageous idea.

As an Aussie, I can confidently say Australia has utterly lost the plot, and I applaud Facebook for standing up to them. I sincerely hope Google follow suit, and they both refuse to come back even if the legislation is scrapped. I hope News Corp. dies a rapid death without the 2.3B clicks

> I think a modern parallel is darklang.com. It might be great, but it faces the same resistance for the same reasons.

They work similarly on the surface level, but the tradeoffs are quite far apart. The deployless nature of Dark on the backend is the central big benefit, and it's a distinction that doesn't exist when you are developing local GUI apps. Also, in Dark there isn't a peristent VM image that everything is entangled with, not to mention the lack of entanglement inherent in the FP language.

Brave has this. You can toggle JavaScript in the Brave menu. You can even go into preferences and change it to disable JavaScript by default and use the Brave button as a whitelist. I ran this way for years. It was great!

Unclear why the downvotes - the system dynamics the parent is describing are valid. Insurers win over time if total costs go up in a predictable way. (Note: Not true for self-insured companies, such which includes essentially all large employers.)
Google Maps's heuristics for displaying POIs are nothing short of bizarre. I've seen it decide that weed dispensaries are the most important thing to display in an entire city. It's also really aggressive about displaying home businesses on the map, even if they aren't open to the public.
