I can understand why the tech giants are getting involved in mapping. There are some really cool things being built with OSM and other data, like OpenRouteService [1] (Google Maps navigation for OSM), OpenTopoMap [2] (space shuttle topological data overlaid as contours on OSM), ORBIS [3] (Google Maps navigation for the Roman road network), and loads of detailed maps using OSM data directly but with a particular purpose like OpenRailwayMap [4] and OpenInfrastructureMap [5].

I'd go beyond what the article says about OSM being the atlas to Wikipedia's encyclopedia: I'd say it's becoming the spatial knowledge base equivalent to nothing seen before in history. This truly is an awesome, revolutionary tool that has shown its true potential. I look forward to the awesome things we've not even thought of being built with OSM data, and, I hope, all continuing to be free.

You can already send money to friends, though being confused about that is understandable. Originally, you could send payments from Google Pay, then they moved that functionality to a separate app called Google Wallet. Then they changed the name of Google Wallet to Google Pay Send and then they moved it back into Google Pay.

You know, a normal Google product history.
Thank you very much for mentioning protectli out loud - that was all the clue I needed to look at their products, and wow. Their stuff looks absolutely fantastic.
I've been using tailwind for a chess game (https://github.com/JMS55/chessmatch) and so far it's been really good, and the first time CSS has clicked for me. My only complaint is that the html templates can get kind of messy, but that can probably be solved with @apply or splitting the template into pieces.
YSK: "In fact" is 2 words, not one.
Yeah honestly someone should try to make an AI clone of dang :) I think that would go along way toward solving the problems of the Internet...

I'm sorta joking but also serious because there is a big corpus to train from :)
The VA sort-of does this, at least when I worked for them. The issue they had when I was there was depending on where you went, you may or may not have access to the record, because the VA didn't use a central system, it used many systems across the country, each with their own records(basically their own mainframe). We once added a hospital to our system, and had to have dual workstations because the systems couldn't be easily merged, and they had to look up patients in both systems.

Also, with Veterans Choice, I don't know how much there was an effort to bring this data back. Same thing with the DoD, for a while there was an agreement to send medical records for active duty to the VA, but then that got pulled for a time.

I believe there was a huge undertaking to consolidate these to fewer systems in the last few years, but Vista[0] (the VA's EMR) is pretty scary. I wouldn't wish it on anyone.

As a non-physicist, I've always been hung up on a much simpler paradox: how does radiation escape from a black hole? I thought even light could not escape? Is there an explanation to that?
Especially when IT is not your strategic differentiator.
Yeah I forgot that ICBMs could have multiple warheads, so yes, NYC could probably be taken out in one fell swoop.
A union can't help workers whose company is currently in the process of outsourcing them. However, it is often the case that a company isn't ready to completely shut down local operations.
Well, yes, that's explained in the post. I'm not asking where the number comes from, I'm asking if the longer list of "magic numbers" can be found anywhere.
Take a look at the links I posted. The deciding factor isn't whether or not both parties benefit, but who is the _primary_ beneficiary of the internship. The line is more of a large grey area in the middle, and the consequences for misinterpreting the specifics of an arrangement can mean pretty large financial penalties for a company (wage theft can mean treble damages in some jurisdictions. At a minimum, that's 3x the local minimum wage, but I think I remember reading about a case where a judge determined the fair wage for an employee based on the fair market rate, so damages could have been 3x what's normally paid for somebody in a given position).
OpenEMR collaboration happens on GitHub: https://github.com/openemr/openemr

Yeah it started in CVS in 1998ish :-p
Sure, but I think there's a difference between "if we conjecture this additional effect that has never been observed but is not inconsistent with observation, then we see this thing" vs. "actually this is sort of resolved by a straightforward application of solutions to models we already had of effects we have already observed"
I used it for my site here: https://www.listenaddict.com/

I've also used it for other various sites in the past.

Makes it trivial to add / change / design things quickly, which for me as a non-designer, is great. Also, works well to make things look good on mobile/tablet/desktop sizes, light and dark mode.

I’ve been keeping an eye on Tailwind. Over the last few years we’ve switched from old school single css file to css in js, and while that helps with the class spread issues, by lots of other measures it’s inferior. This was solidified for me last week when we rebranded our app and I needed to hack in both new and old code. Editing is js controlled css in the browser is just too painful.

Anyway, couple of weeks back I needed to make a website for a mate and decided I’d give tailwind a spin. My god does it make css fun again. I’m not sure how you look after sprawling styles in a bigger app (though I’m sure I’ll figure something out) but having the right combination of safe css, everything right there and responsive styling locally is a dream. I’m totally sold.
Ctrl-Enter is the shortcut for inserting a soft newline for content-editables on Safari btw. You might want to consider supporting command-enter for this reason alone.
You still want ha, failover, and disaster recovery. Then you need to set up stuff like bgp, dns, security rules, etc, etc etc. Complexity mounts pretty quickly.
I am in my late 30s. Our generation had very little access to computers growing up but we used what we had to tinker and experiment with them. I mean sure many people just played games but there was enough to do for those of us who were interested.

The current generation is basically digitally connected from the day they are born and yet the 'general purpose computing devices' they have access to are walled gardens like phones and tablets. And with the way Apple is going about it, even Macbooks will soon join the ranks.
The way I see it, if the company wants you to do something you would not do if not for their asking (i.e. moving) it makes sense to ask for compensation, and the compensation should be commensurate to how onerous what they want is. I would expect a relocation bonus even if moving from a high cost of living area to a low cost of living area, if moving was requested by the company.

On the other hand, if I want to do something because it is convenient for me but does not affect my work in any way (i.e. change where I work from) I would not expect my compensation to change.
I have a Windows 7 machine around that used to run IE 11, but one day it silently updated that to "Edgium", which is great.
One of the hurdles of EMR systems is that there is a pretty significant minimum viable product due to various standards that can't be ignored. Thankfully, this space is far more open now than it used to be; HL7 for example used to require payment just to see the standards. Pretty much everything you would need access to (HL7, CCDA, SNOMED, LOINC, ICD-10, etc) is freely available now!

Generally just having an EMR system is not enough; you also need practice management, scheduling, billing, insurance claims, etc. Interoperability between separate software for these things is... tenuous at best, though some practices do manage to handle it, it can be very fragile. Hence integrated solutions are pretty much the best way to go, and also prevent disruption from competitors which may be better in one space but not another, since it's so hard to get them to talk to each other well.
Wait, so are they using the GPUs or the "neural engine"? because the gpu approach should also work on any other machine right?
> Why were they able to take 30% and continue to take 15% commission off of all sales? Because the value of the app store is only created via continued practices of anti-competitive behaviour.

Also, because Apple created the most valuable mobile software market in the world, by creating the iPhone, continuing to release top-notch phones year after year, and by creating the App Store itself.

It remains true that iPhone users buy software at a rate that totally dwarfs Android. This could be traced to a number of reasons, but I wouldn't dismiss the App Store monopoly as one of them.

You can describe this as anti-competitive, just keep in mind that you're assuming your own conclusion. You could make the same argument for Apple's refusal to license their OSes for hardware they don't manufacture, I would be similarly unimpressed.

As a user, I would like a stress-free way to sideload apps which don't meet Apple's standards for inclusion on the App Store. Don't see why Apple would want to give away their competitive advantage by letting other stores sell software for their phones, but I could imagine them making side-loading less onerous, that would be nice.
I'm not an economist but it has always seemed to me that Veblen goods are actually selling status and prestige. Flooding the market with product devalues the associated status which is what causes the price to drop.

Yes, I think there is such a thing as 'Engineering Speak' - organizing thoughts in structured and coherent way - it requires thinking a little bit differently though. I'm not impressed by most API documentation, it's just so terrible it makes me wonder about the people in tech.

Find a niche or make one. There's no algorithm so it can be hard, but it is a strategy.
I don’t understand your point? The GP was implying that as soon as a SF engineer moves somewhere else, there are other engineers locally who could equally do their job.
using @apply adds all of those properties and values into a new css class right? you're adding extra lines to your bundle
Pretty nice, thanks!
>While some managers or teammates will give you feedback with good intentions in mind, others will critique you out of frustration and negative emotions.

[...]

> The path forward is to embrace the fact that you can't please everyone. Instead, have a deep understanding of what your goals and values are. And, act accordingly. How others react or judge your actions are only important insofar as they help you achieve your goals or align your actions with your values.

I think the "feedback is a gift" perspective works regardless of "manager genuinely trying to help you improve" or "manager who will just want to get rid of you in a HR-approved way if they don't like what you're doing." And similarly, regardless if your goals are "genuine self-improvement" or even just "don't get fired."

If you get negative feedback from someone who is viewing you negatively you're in a better position than not getting negative feedback from someone who views you negatively.

It might only be valuable as a warning, if you are working in a fairly inhumane bureaucracy, but it's still better than not knowing where you stand.

(It's important here to be able to tell "feedback" from "frustration," though. For instance, if you've got a manager who's grumpy towards everyone or about everything, you need to calibrate for that...)
I love this! This isn't about some ratio of good to bad. It's about engaging with the individual and encouraging more of what you want to see. Telling someone something is bad is helpful-ish. Telling someone the parts that are great -- that you want to see replicated again or extended in the future -- that's useful. And rewarding to everyone involved.

It's really only useful to give negative feedback if it's something that SHOULD NOT happen. Otherwise, learning to accept people where they are in life goes a long way.
You know, technology doesn't just materialize spontaneously, it is made with a human purpose and that purpose (with all the subjectivity of everyone that participates in creating and fostering the technology) is imbued in those inanimate objects. When you use technology it guides you in its intended use according to its purpose, when you open a door by its handle, when you put your headphones on.

Phones and youtube specifically are made to make money by gaining and keeping one's attention. They achieve it with tactics that trigger addiction. Some people become addicts, some not so much, but if you have a human brain you will feel the pull to abuse them.

In the case of phones and youtube the "mythical they" are the ones who profit from them and don't care about the effects of their tactics on the users. Maybe it is not warfare but it sure is asymmetric.

> 75 million dollar price tag is also huge.

Is it? Over the two years they saved, this is about the salary for 100 engineers. Can you replace and maintain all the cloud aspects that AWS provides you with (I mean the ones you actually use) with 100 engineers? Maybe, if they are good engineers (which is kinda implied by the 300k salary tag in the calculation). If it's worth it, remains to be seen. Definitely nothing for any medium sized company.

Dropbox is huge and has a relatively simple, highly optimized use-case, for which cloud perhaps doesn't offer too much. This is NOT the norm. For most companies, no matter the size, building their own cloud is a no go.

> those features are killed off and vanish from the face of the earth?

Don't use Google Cloud then ;).

> but if we consider the absurd premium charged by cloud providers for their services...

Do you have any data on backing this up? This "absurd premium" includes the salaries of engineers to develop it, maintain it, do DevOps, keep the hardware/data centers, do marketing, etc. etc. There is of course a margin, these companies aren't doing it as a social service... That margin is highly variable from service to service and also between cloud providers. Some may not have a margin at all, others may run at a loss. There is not easy "uh everything is overpriced". Most companies will have a VERY hard time providing the offering at the price of large cloud providers. And the simple "back of the envelope" calculations often miss all the work & cost that needs to be done, but you don't know about...

> Well, those "others" doing the work can be employed by your company and you still save money.

Yeah, if your company is really big, then yes. If your revenue is below 100 million, there isn't even room for any discussion on this: Don't run your own cloud, it's not gonna work. Most of the "cons" I see are about misunderstandings of the offerings and failure to navigate the pricing models and picking the cheapest offerings that do the job. If you fail to do even that, how on earth are you going to run your own cloud?
And if it doesn't?

No idea. I imagine it would depend on the kind of expertise you need and how many lawyers are involved. As I understand it the attorneys hire independent experts to make sure any technology and IP is what the parties think it is.

That plug-in certainly won’t cover all cases of infinite loops, or they just solved the halting problem :)
> which both charge 30%

Well, not anymore they don't.

Kind of undermines your cartel argument, if you think about it. Clever on Apple's part...
That's true. You will also need a computer, a chair, a desk and food to learn and develop apps.

AppStore Developer subscription is not a social security program, you will need some capital to run business on it.

It is like the need to spent money to buy the flour and the chocolate before making money from your first donuts. Standart business stuff.
> A datacenter that’s available 90% of the time is worth vastly, vastly less than 90% as much as one that 99.95% of the time.

That depends on your workload and the nature of the loss of availability. Is the completed work still there but just unreachable for an hour every few months? That might be okay for some folks.

Is your data center always available mon-fri but constantly has scheduled downtime on weekends? Might still be okay.
Google Search - I wonder if it's suffering from SEO issues too (i.e., losing the arms race). Often feels like I'm reading through constant content farms.
I'm interested in this as well. I've seen other people's anecdotal evidence, with screenshotted examples, and I've noticed it myself, but I'd love a real study.

If Twitter prioritizes "engagement" then it seems natural that they'd put a response that is more likely to garner a response from you first. You're more engaged if you're writing back an angry refutation of how wrong the first person is, than if you're just hitting "like" on the first person that agrees with you.

But this kind of engagement feels negative to me in the long run. I have certainly gotten myself addicted to political Twitter, and at the same time never feel happy with myself for engaging.

That said, it's also a powerful force: I have two Twitter accounts, one that engages in political discussions, which often leaves me annoyed at the world, and one that just follows makers and artists and things that make me happy. But guess which one I check more often...
I think the chip for pro devices is likely to be the rk3588.
I've done this and it works surprisingly well. I made a timesliced js scripting system this way.. it looked imperative with tight loops but it was all asynchronous. It felt like a threaded app.
I think generalizing to the “government” as a whole is wrong. There’s a clearly define part of the government that is unwilling to do anything. Every effort has died in the senate.
I guess I'm arguing that there is a dynamic you're not considering with respect to whether or not to initiate a nuclear strike. I agree with you that an aggressor is more likely to initiate a strike if they believe they have a very high chance of a successful strike (where "success" is defined as destroying the target) and a very low chance of retaliation. However, the scenario we're debating is one in which Russia has its own interceptors so the risk of a successful first strike (US striking Russia) is about the same as the likelihood Russia succeeds in retaliating.

If both nations have lots and lots of interceptors relative to the ICMB cap (assuming for the moment that both countries adhere to the ICMB cap), then the odds of any country initiating a successful strike (first or second) becomes relatively and equally low. At that point, it's more effective to pursue conventional (i.e. non-nuclear) warfare, and even if a country does initiate a desperate nuclear strike, it's less concerning because the odds of a catastrophic loss of life are significantly reduced.

Would you argue that we would be better off if we fought conventional wars without body armor of any kind? Or would you argue that this is somehow different than the interceptor question? If so, how is it different (degree vs kind and why)?

(By the way, I don't see a US president--barring perhaps the current one who doesn't seem concerned with his own best interest much less that of his country--accepting a 75% chance of the destruction of US cities in order to stop a Russian advance)
Well, it is, but it’s not in the productivity pr0n sense. It’s not about compiling lists of tasks and planning everything out, so you can churn through them like a machine. The point isn’t to maximize how many things you do. The hyperbole gives me an opportunity to address that misconception.

When I first met my wife, she commented on how I would capture everything. To her, it seemed like I had to plan everything out, so how could I be spontaneous? It’s actually the opposite. By knowing my landscape, I knew what I had to hand off at work while I was away visiting her, and what I could let wait until I got back.

I barely engaged with my system while I was visiting her, but that’s okay. It was still there keeping all my responsibilities safe while I was away, so I could focus on my time with her instead.

And to be fair, sometimes people want a method that tells them what to do or how to make decisions. GTD isn’t that method, but it can help you manage your next actions once you figure what they are.

Just the weekend I had the "weird error message" situation. DDG gave me 1 page with no relevant results while Google had no problem finding proper matches.

Would be nice if they could do better on queries like that... though funny thing is if they didn't respect privacy they probably could. Log any searches where a user looked for something and then tried the same thing prefixed with !g. Use those for figuring out where to focus efforts and what to test with.
> It lets you move all of those excessive class attributes into your CSS, where it realistically belongs

No. Adam said multiple times that he basically added the feature to make onboarding people smoother.

The right way to use Tailwind is to extract components, for example in Vue.

That way you have the markup, behavior, and styling in self-contained in a single file, that can be used anywhere, without leaking any internal implementation details.
Windows updates are replacing that with Edge on Chromium, even on "unsupported" systems like Windows 7, so here's that.
Hi. I didn't read this. I don't go on medium.com. please consider another content distribution method.
I completely agree. I've learned more through books than any other medium.

They take time and, for me, it took a while to realise how I best learnt. I don't like reading technical books cover to cover, not on the first read at least. I try to look through the index for concepts that catch my interest, either because I realise I know nothing except the term (so that makes me feel a bit ignorant and curious to check it out) or it's a concept I can visualise being applied more easily.

Usually from there I will read something I don't know what means and go look for that. When I've scanned through a bit to catch my interest then I start reading from the first chapter.

It took me years to realise I didn't have to force myself to sit down and open a book from page 1. It's a bit obvious and stupid but I believe I'm not alone in having to learn myself how do I like to learn.
