A lot of these comes down to structuring law and bureaucracy to be digitizable. In Denmark every cadastre is throughly mapped and logged, and have been for a long long time. As a result we have a national addressregistry with a public API. This way your digital solutions will never really get an address wrong.

I think you could build something similar with OpenStreetMaps if your bureaucracy sucks, but it’s a massive undertaking of course.

What surprises me the most is how countries that don’t do this, keeps track of all the other GIS related things. Like how much electricity or plumbing a cadastre will need. Or perhaps more important, taxes and property taxes.
There is still an opportunity from the lessons learned. You can regulate your hospital systems as you regulate financial institutions and certificate them. I was also thinking a network setup on a sub-pub system separating trusted and untrusted networks using computer vision via optical sensors or camera&monitor in an old fashion using ocr,classification or even barkod /optimized qr code that client picks task id and id from queue and shows on a device and server reads via sensor or camera. Maybe problem is not the we are lack of solution but the systems just old.
Hacked up a simple CLI tool to create and organize notes using Markdown files and publish that as a static website. The idea is very much inspired from Neuron - but a few differences:

- In zettel we have a concept of Connections and not uplinks/backlinks. This lets us have circular links across notes.

- For visualisation we use Graph structure instead a of a Tree. For reasons mentioned above.

zettel is a simple CLI written in Go, so very easy to just grab the binary and get started.

The project is in a nascent stage, feature requests or any relevant ideas are more than welcome!

At least with iTunes, you can keep a copy in cold storage. Although Amazon lets you download content, I believe you can’t store it long term without constantly being connected to the internet.
There was an article on HN recently about how Google does something like that, internally. It claimed employees CC in house lawyers to tag attorney client priviledge on emails they wouldn't want, e.g. antitrust investigators, to obtain too easily. Even if it just delays discovery or adds friction, mission accomplished.

You could use sub-population averages if your sample size is large enough.
Very nice! I got 141 on another test I did as well, but I didn't take a pic, so it didn't happen. Another day, another day haha.
So Google should ship a potentially inferior tool, slower, because some people run on inappropriate or highly outdated hardware?

Hmm.

Even a book purchaser only gets a "limited license" on the book's contents. The property rights only extend to the physical item, not what's printed in it.

That's the whole issue with online consumption. The physical medium has disappeared and so only the license remains. The legal framework has not caught up yet.

Amazon T&Cs' wording is wishy-washy ("on-demand viewing over an indefinite period of time") and that wording may cause them problems especially where consumers protection is extensive. My limited knowledge on contract law is that this sort of unspecified duration may not be permitted because the parties (especially the consumer) cannot know what he is signing up to when entering into the contract.
Have you read all the laws in your country? Are you aware that there are probably thousands of examples where they've been arbitrarily enforced and put innocent people in prison (or even executed them)? Many of them are just a matter of common sense and yet there's an entire apparatus around them. Does that mean they're silly and useless?

I've never organised a conference, but people who have told me that there's a level of craziness that most attendees or speakers aren't exposed to. I don't know if a code of conduct makes their job easier or not, but your glib dismissal fails to take into account that conference organisers don't enjoy judicial immunity and enforcement of anything -- be it written in a code of conduct or just common sense -- can make them liable for damages. One way to protect yourself is with a system of due process, and some lawyers think that a written code is helpful in establishing due process while others disagree.
Yes. A retired professor emeritus of anesthesiology in my department, in his 80s, bedridden, and on dialysis, told our department chair that his life had become too unpleasant and boring to continue with the round the clock routine of treatments and tests that would be his lot until he died. He directed that the dialysis machine be disconnected and died comfortably shortly thereafter.

Probably it's just org-mode's useful built-in shortcuts for moving the headers around and folding them that made me think it was better in that regard.

Presumably there are markdown editors with similar behaviour.
To me, the hardest part of writing is getting the first draft done. I'm a good enough self critic to do a reasonable job of editing, but the writer's block is real and awful.

The standard advice is to silence the internal critic and write. Of course, it's easier said than done.

I'm supposed to be writing a paper. I'm commenting on HN instead.

Wave-depth and period are related, waves of 15s or even 26 are much too shallow to be affected by the seabed at those depths.

EDIT: Some back of the envelope physics to see how plausible your hypothesis is:

For deep water waves:
wave_speed = gravity * wave_period / 2pi

wave_speed (26 sec period) = 40.56 m/s

wave_speed = wavelength / period => wavelength = 1054 m = 3458 ft.

The effect of the seabed (i.e. shallow water wave physics) is usually taken into account at depths of the order 1/20 the wavelength. That is, when the depth is smaller than 1/20 the wavelength we have to start taking into account the effect of the seabed which makes the dispersion relation of waves non-linear and brings entirely new physics. Of course that 1/20 is not a magic number just a rough figure when the effects of the seabed start to be noticeable.

Unfortunately, we are still off by several orders of magnitude so I would think the effect you describe is unlikely.
Hang about. The metaphor is more like this:

I was surprised too that he didn't see the danger of "cancel culture" after his experience. The ominous idea of "facing consequences" sounds exactly like the implication of a Mafioso saying "Nice business you have there, it would be a shame if something were to happen to it."

Another example is this classic joke about the Soviet Union:

Q: What is the difference between the Constitutions of the US and USSR? Both of them guarantee freedom of speech.

A: Yes, but the Constitution of the USA also guarantees freedom after the speech.
Peter Coad did write a number of books, which are pretty old and likely out of print. How to actually model a complex system into an object oriented domain model, is something I have long thought to teach. However, sadly there seems little appetite in a world currently dominated by procedural code acting on data, modeled using functional decomposition or through a relational data model. Of course our industry will eventually relearn the forgotten lessons and methods of the past, rename them as something new, and adopt them as the new silver bullet for software development.

Because like other commenters that chimed in, I can notice most SPAs, and all SPAs I've used had annoying performance problems. By problems I don't mean a sudden request that takes half a second, but that every UI interaction feels subtly slow.

I don't know where people get these performance targets of "below 100ms and users won't notice". I notice. I notice if UI responses take longer than two-three animation frames, the same way I notice when a game is running at 20 FPS and not 60 FPS.
> [CoC are] a way to assure newcomers that your project wasn't going to allow racist trolling on the mailing list.

Hmm, still not sure I agree. Reducing emissions to close to 0 is definitely very important but it seems probable that we'll reach a steady state where some niche sources of carbon still persist, and are accompanied by corresponding capture. Some niche sources are just unbelievably hard to decarbonise

If in 20 years 1% of our emissions remain but they are accompanied by capture (with a multiplier to account for inefficiencies in capture) then that would be ok by me.

(You'd still want the extra carbon removal to reverse the warming caused by past emissions ofc)
> if you are simply willing to let go on a dance floor as a male, you were likely to be termed a good dancer in my youth

Can confirm. My strategy for single dancing was quite literally "do arbitrarily chosen motions in rhythm to the music with a straight face", and even when I chose motions I thought were silly (like pantomiming scooping ingredients into a bowl and stirring them), I never got the impression that anyone thought it was silly, and I started getting lots of people telling me that I'm a good or even a really good dancer.

My experience is that, if you move a lot, do it with an approximately correct rhythm, and do it with energy and enthusiasm, and you don't actually bump into people or fall over, then people will be pleased. It is possible that I've developed actual skill, but I think the above is most of it.

It does not translate into being good at dancing with a partner, except by implying basic proficiency with movement and rhythm.

Whether it works or not depends on how many samples are used to downscale. Amusingly, this attack was used for bait-and-switch and “click here to [x]” gimmicks on some websites, especially 4chan, and you can find examples tuned primarily for typical thumbnail generators (which, probably for performance reasons, tend to only sample a small number of pixels.)

Or we can take what the author writes the way he writes it: CoCs are not bad, not following your own process for enforcement of CoC (which also has problems in this specific case) is bad.
The answer to "this type of enforcement is bad" is not "no enforcement".

Steam allows you to 'buy' a game. On your Profile page it even shows the number you 'own'.

Yet you 'own' none. All you 'buy' is a licence which can be revoked at any time should Steam, the Publisher or some other entity decide to do so.

I would imagine that if Amazon and Steam changed 'buy' to 'licence' their income would fall off a cliff.
Imagine that your civil rules are so f*ckt that you think you need a CoC and then just listen to one side, Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union had such CoC'ses too.
> Your premise is that, rather than free association, every group of people owes a kind of due process to everyone else

They very well might. When you exercise your judgment in any way, you are liable for damages. Due process might protect you from that.
The only good thing from this is that hospitals are waking up to the dangers of having weak digital security. Sadly this is the only way of having people invest more in security...

When buying a book, the only right that you don't get is the right to copy all or part of the book. Otherwise, you can keep it forever, sell it, lend it to others, sell it overseas (subject to any import/export laws, of course).

This is not the same with a CD for a video-game, for example. I still remember that my copy of Starcraft had a note that I should notify Blizzard if I indended to lend the CD to any of my friends!
China has the jurisdiction over the Chinese resident, their ISP and other local infrastructure. It doesn't have jurisdiction over foreign companies and foreign companies don't have to comply with anything. (Unless they want to do business with Chinese residents or operate in China) Same applies to the EU situation.

You may want to be nice to the foreign visitors otherwise and comply with the foreign laws, but that's it.
> If you are a shop with mostly backend-devs and don't want to invest in a F.E dev, you definitely should look into a js-framework.

That matches in my experience.

I worked in a shop with only backend developers and the frontend was an absolute buggy mess of jQuery on top of bootstrap. After migrating most of it to Vue I taught it to the team and all the experienced-but-frontend-shy developers started producing great frontend code by themselves.
It's interesting that you have this takeaway when one of the reasons the author gives for making such a post is to reaffirm the value of a CoC.

Would you elaborate on why you think a CoC and corresponding enforcement in the way the author describes is either undesirable or impossible?
An ex member of parliament and the secret lover of a premier(governor) of a major state in Australia was texting the premier that he got a commission of 5K AUD from some shady deal.

Maybe they should apply this same logic to make mainstream media require neutrality when reporting the news. (all are bad, not saying they aren't, but let's start with Fox News). If Fox news can't be forced to let equal number of progressives on as conservatives, then why should Twitter be forced to modify their algorithm at all?
I wish there were more examples how to use feature flags. How would you test a feature flag e.g. Halloween discount. As this probably involves both front-end and back-end code. The only way I can think off how this can be tested is by making a special new user with this feature flag.

But do you now need to test all possible permutations of the flags combinations? If so, how to determine these permutations? Can imagine you test all possibilities every time??
Feature flags are used for gradual rollout and testing of features. Including, but not limited by, A/B tests, region-locking features, rolling to features to internal users only and so on.

For example, you're developing a new version of the checkout page for your company from scratch (it can be a store selling physical goods, or a subscription service, or anything that requires payment). It means that for a while it will not have feature parity with your existing checkout page.

So first you implement feature parity with, say, German payment options (credit cards and Sofort). Then you set up a feature flag saying "for 5% of German customers display the new checkout", and monitor it. Then you bump it up to 10%, then to 50%.

Meanwhile you're working on accepting payments via Swish in the new checkout in Sweden. Once it's ready, you add a feature flag saying "for 5% Swedish customers display the new checkout" (and in parallel, you're probably already displaying the new checkout to 50% German customers).

And so on.

In their core feature flags are not really more than a glorified if statement, but:

- you want to view them, and handle them in a single place so that you can adjust the various parameters or quickly shut down a feature if it misbehaves

- this single place has to be scalable enough that it survives an influx of customers potentially triggering dozens of feature flags across your software
In addition, in order to work out new ideas and create the right business plan, you can read various articles and take a lot of useful information from there. For example, recently, I came across a very good article on this topic: https://www.eleken.co/blog-posts/saas-business-model-learn-h...

"Offense by proxy" is the way it works these days. If anybody is offended by anything you say or do, you are by definition guilty of causing offense, regardless of whether your remark was intended as offensive or even directed at that person.

Actual case from a Silicon Valley company: person X admiringly notes that a transgender fashion model (shown in a picture in a news article, not employed at the company or otherwise involved in any way) passes so well that she looks like a "real woman". Person Y, who is not transgender, takes this to imply that transgender women are not "real women" and reports the remark to HR, and X is very nearly fired as a result.

Games aren't low-code. Even with UE4, people end up learning C++ because there's only so much you can do with the Blueprint flowcharts before it becomes an unmaintainable mess that grinds your development speed to the ground. It's also pretty much a law of nature that every nontrivial game eventually develops a scripting language (unless it's already written in one, e.g. Python).

But it's absolutely true that you can teach artists to code - within the limited domain - much easier than you can teach programmers to draw or write stories.

A personal opinion: I'm not entirely sure that being entirely art-driven is necessarily a good direction for games either. You can build a pretty game out of default UE4/Unity/Godot building blocks, but it'll be rather quickly recognized as a cookie-cutter game with custom art. If you want to innovate on, or even carefully tune, the gameplay itself, you need to code your way out of engine defaults.

Unfortunately, so many of the effected hospitals and health practitioners don't really understand the implications of a ransomware attack, the correct public disclosure process, or how to improve their security afterwards. Many hospitals hire a "cyber security expert" to upgrade their system and end up paying a small fortune. There's a budding hospital cyber sales industry more than happy to fleece these institutions.
There is no such thing as "intrinsic value".

There is only the law of supply and demand. Econ 101.

Even the argument that something has intrinsic value because you have a use for it is flawed: how much is a gallon of breathable air worth?

A gallon of air is tremendously useful. How much does it cost ?
