Individuals may not need it, but companies? The company I work for has multiple products which internally rely on geolocating arbitrary addresses. OSM keeps our costs way down, we only have to pay Google when OSM fails a match and we fall back to the Google Maps API. I doubt we're uncommon in this. OSM had less of a programmatic use when Google's free monthly tiers were large and subsequent costs low, but that hasn't been the case for a good while now.
product explorer should ask what device you came from and set the minimum spec to match. It can probably pushState all the search params into the url so that these beautiful result sets can be shared.
Yea. When buying a used car it is a pain to count out all those $100 bills. $500, at least, would be nice.
You can even customize browser UI using userChrome.css to revert new style of location bar or remove some items from context menus, and even more. This guide should give you some ideas: https://www.userchrome.org/what-is-userchrome-css.html

I did understand, maybe you misunderstood me. I answered your question by saying that the current format (Markdown+Metadata) is the one used by lots of popular Static CMSs. I wrote one to migrate away from Jekyll and it was just a matter of copying the files. There's absolutely nothing more to it, it's just files.

I answered about ATOM/RSS because it might be useful if you want to migrate to something that supports importing using ATOM.

Of course, there's also templates, Wordpress also has zero compatibility or ability to export templates or reuse them somewhere, so I don't think it applies.
who says this is an "issue" its just numbers. If you think its an issue thats your interpretation. For instance I used jira for communicate with my team about 3 projects and it only took me 3 hours.

Maybe this person is writing a fiction story where the protagonist is using Jira and they are detailing how they spend their day.

Its like a John Steinbeck novel
That carboy is pretty hot.
Are these terms really that nefarious or just a way to terminate some customer who decides to load test your system and ends up bringing it down? Legal documents are typically written to be as broad as possible.

Perhaps it should be more narrowly written, but prohibiting certain kinds of testing without permission is reasonable.
> OSM simply has to exist, and the longer it exists, the better the data will become.

Probably, but not necessarily. The world changes with time and if OSM contributions languish, it falls out of date with the world and tangibly becomes a worse product. Certainly not inevitable, but a possibility worth noting.
Ask HN: GCP “Network Egress via Carrier Peering Network”?
What is "Network Egress via Carrier Peering Network" in GCP ?

I had expected it to be possible to run a VM in GCP within the Free Tier up to 1GB of bandwidth (excluding China and Australia) from a North American VM.

After requesting an explanation from GCP Support for "Network Egress via Carrier Peering Network" charges, I was told Carrier Peering is responsible. (No Carrier Peering enabled).

I was then told "is caused by VM-to-VM egress when both VMs are in the same Google Cloud region, regardless of zone, when using the external IP addresses (per GB). " (Only a single VM in the account).

I was then told "VPC Network is not included in the Free Tier program. You are running an external IP addresses that is causing the charges on your account. Regular network pricing still applies to all traffic." - I suspect a little disingenuous as a VPC is zero cost. I expected Egress to be billed but only to certain regions outside of the free tier and only after 1GB of traffic to other regions. Neither of which are the case.

Is any one able to shed any light on this?
Nice to have an industry insider perspective on here ;)

Although recently they started enabling another spy to spy on their users, when they decided to rely on fastly.
I never really budget to be honest. I simply spent as little money as possible. To me, it’s like people that want to lose weight. You can stick to a diet or simply choose to eat less at all times. Every time I spent, I figure out what is on discount and whether it’s a ‘want’ or a ‘need’. I will indulge once in a while on late night food though.

> The reason I mention it is because I've encountered too many people in continental Europe who assume the Troubles were purely due differences in religious beliefs

I agree that it is a complex situation, and that while religion is a major factor, it is not the only factor, and painting it as purely about religion is an oversimplification. On the other hand, I worry that many people oversimplify it in the other direction, and try to present it as if it has nothing to do with religion, which is false.

> which seems absurd given how similar those two branches of catholicism are

I think you mean Christianity, not Catholicism here.

Britain and Ireland have a long history of religious conflict and sectarianism. In recent decades, the intensity of that conflict has dropped down dramatically, in large part due to secularisation. But decades ago, it was much more intense.

That conflict was never primarily about religious doctrine, although religious doctrine still had a big role to play in it. A lot of it was about the fear that Catholicism was a means for foreign Catholic political powers – Spain, France, etc – to take over. It was also about who was the rightful king – Catholic King James VII and II was removed in a coup in 1688 and replaced with his Protestant daughter Mary and son-in-law William of Orange. James had an authoritarian ruling style, which caused a lot of conflicts with Parliament; but he was also an advocate of religious toleration, which was deeply unpopular with the majority of Protestants; those two factors combined led to his removal. James sought to regain the throne, and many Irish Catholics supported him, along with France. His supporters (the Jacobites) fought a war (with French help) to gain control of Ireland (the Williamite War of 1689 to 1691), but lost. (His supporters included some Protestants, especially conservatives who viewed the removal of the king in a coup as a threat to the legitimacy of the monarchy.) Protestant Unionists in Northern Ireland still celebrate their side's victories in that war to this day, particularly on the 12th of July.

>>When autonomous vehicles halve the cost of an Uber/Lyft journey, many more people will weigh up the costs/benefits of private vehicle ownership and decide it’s not for them.

That's kind of my point - this won't happen, because Uber is already at rock bottom prices. For me to take it to work is about £10. That can't cover anything about the journey and is clearly heavily subsidised by Uber. That cost isn't going down to £5, it's just not going to happen. Just like when people predict that since flash memory prices keep falling down, you will be able to buy a 1TB pendrive for 5 cents. That's not going to happen because you do have the minimum costs of production and transport that aren't going anywhere even if the chips themselves are free.

And if people aren't taking Uber instead of their own cars for these frankly ridiculous prices then I don't see why they would simply because the cars drive themselves.

>>Different services will compete based in part on the luxuriousness of the interiors and the frequency at which they are cleaned.

The same principle should apply to taxis and it just doesn't. I live in a medium size UK city and every company, every brand, has crappy cars. Only price matters, nothing else and Uber Lux is not an option because you're waiting 40-50 minutes for one, that's just not acceptable.
Yep, and from a demo of YouTrack (from JetBrains), I got the opposite impression: it’s streamlined just the way a developer would want, keyboard shortcuts and all.
Not sure about these particular charging stations, but the big problem isn't people parking in a spot for 3-5 minutes while they pop into for a side. The problem is people who park in a charging spot and go shopping at the mall or grocery shopping for 45 minutes.

It's no difference from using the only or last pump at the gas station and go spend 15 minutes browsing magazines, you are being an ass.
Dang, there is no other venue to discuss this. There are massive human rights violations currently happening that rival those of Nazi Germany, but most news media and online discussion forums shy away from the topic because China is too economically powerful. We've accepted as a society that certain acts performed by the nazis were an absolute evil. Why then should we not be allowed to discuss similar human rights violations in the present day?
The nice thing about the median is that it's robust against outliers like the ones you've mentioned. It's over $300k, so we're definitely not talking about some hellhole in MS.
Moral Mazes is one of the rare books I return to and read multiple times. Far from being out of date, 40 years later it is more relevant and the research lines up more directly with corporate behavior than really any other research on this topic written since then. It really is a tremendous book.

Just Say No (to clash of clans)
Yeah I was here to say this. OSM doesn't even compete with Google Maps, or rather, Google Maps doesn't even compete with OSM if you want to do any kind of large scale analysis on streets without silly licensing restrictions.
Right. You're depressed, so the best solution must obviously be to consume drugs and take a trip that could potentially render you psychotic for life.

This is not medecine. It is no better than the voodoo doctors of old who made you take the "funny herbs" to cure your "demons". This is garbage and not science.
1 terabyte sounds like an outlier, but typically texture maps are used as inputs to shading calculations. So it's not uncommon for hero assets in large-scale VFX movies to have more than 10 different sets of texture files that represent different portions of a shading model. For large assets, it may take more than fifty 4K-16K images to adequately cover the entire model such that if you were to render it from any angle, you wouldn't see the pixelation. And these textures are often stored as mipmapped 16 bit images so the renderer can choose the most optimal resolution at rendertime.

So that can easily end up being several hundred gigabytes of source image data. At rendertime, only the textures that are needed to render what's visible in the camera are loaded into memory and utilized, which typically ends up being a fraction of the source data.

Large scale terrains and environments typically make more use of procedural textures, and they may be cached temporarily in memory while the rendering process happens to speed up calculations
> Can anyone comment on why Pixar uses standard CPU for processing instead of custom hardware or GPU?

A GPU enabled version of RenderMan is just coming out now. I imagine their farm usage after this could change.

https://gfxspeak.com/2020/09/11/animation-studios-renderman/

I’m purely speculating, but I think the main reason they haven’t been using GPUs until now is that RenderMan is very full featured, extremely scalable on CPUs, has a lot of legacy features, and it takes a metric ton of engineering to port and re-architect well established CPU based software over to the GPU.

Did you open it in a tab that was not immediately made active?

There seems to be some sort of issue with Twitter whereby the javascript to fetch/render the tweet doesn't fire if you open it in a background tab and then visit the tab.

Refreshing the page causes the javascript to correctly fire and the tweet is displayed. This is due to Twitter no longer pre-rendering the page server side, its all done client side.

Also makes it impossible to use Twitter from a browser with javascript disabled.
There are large interpersonal physiological differences due to so many variables that it makes getting high accuracy with machine learning models hard. Only way I see this accuracy improving is by calibrating those models with good reference data for individuals.

A lot of studios use thin client/ PCoiP boxes from teradici etc..

They're pretty great overall and the bandwidth requirements aren't crazy high but it does max out your data usage if you're capped pretty quickly. The faster you can be, the better the experience.

Some studios like Imageworks don't even have the backend data center in the same location. So the thin clients connect to a center in Washington state when the studios are in LA and Vancouver.
You lack good reading in history. If everyone thought like you, science would stagnate. You make the common error: to see all “on-paper,” unproven ideas as equal. Comparing the reaction mechanism of PCR to the equations involved in human-scale fusion. They aren’t the same, no two hypotheses are the same. Real scientists actually read hypotheses and try to understand what’s going on in this hypothetical scenario — reason about it. People that do this are often excited about “wild goose chases” because they aren’t actually wild goose chases. They are hypotheses that contain pieces that work with a lower level of ambiguity than most ideas. And here’s another detail the phonies gloss over: sometimes the pieces are better than other times. Most times there’s some ambiguity but sometimes there’s very little and you can be more sure. That was the case with PCR. That’s how real scientists think. They think with models, trying to understand the world. Most people don’t do it and they are utterly unmoved by convincing ideas. They can’t distinguish between convincing ideas and rubbish. It’s the hallmark of someone who doesn’t get it.

I work in an area where high variance is very expected and unavoidable. Here's what we do:

In your PR, you link to the tool showing the performance diff of your PR. The tool shows the absolute and relative differences of performance from the base version of code. It also tracks the variance of each metric over time, so it can kind of guess which metrics have degraded, though this doesn't work consistently. The tool tries to highlight the likely degraded metrics so the engineer can better understand what went wrong.

If the metrics are better, great! Merge it! If they are worse, the key is to discuss them (quickly in Slack), and decide if they are just from the variance, a necessary performance degradation, or a problem in the code. Typically it's straightforward: the decreased metrics either are unrelated to the change or they are worth looking into.

The key here is not to make the system too rigid. Good code changes cannot be slowed down. Performance issues need to be caught. The approvers need to be fast, and to mostly trust the engineers to care enough to notice and fix the issues themselves.

We also check the performance diffs weekly to catch hidden regressions.

IF YOUR ORGANIZATION DOES NOT VALUE AND REWARD PERFORMANCE IMPROVEMENTS, NONE OF THIS WILL WORK. Your engineers will see the real incentive system, and resist performance improvements. Personally, I don't believe that Atlassian cares at all about performance, otherwise it never would have gotten this bad. Engineers love making things faster, and if they've stopped optimizing performance it's usually because the company discourages it.
>>Browne, who counselled with intimations of Ecclesiastes that “it is a vanity to waste our dayes in the blinde pursuit of knowledge” is an antidote to all this—to doomsayers and optimists and all those who prey on the human need to understand. He knew very little. We should all be so wise.

Hmm...that hit home. Too much reading, not enough doing.
Good idea. You could also access your bank and other sensitive sites with a different profile:

google-chrome --user-data-dir="/path/to/somewhere/else"

I use this switch and a directory from `mktemp -d` for remote debugging (--remote-debugging-port=1234). The debugging does not disturb my normal browsing and the profile is completely disposable.
"My question is "with what money"."

This is a good question, we know that total cost of ownership of the charging network for cars is massively lower than that of petroleum infrastructure. So the problem is not shortage of money, but alighning incentives and investment. I believe this needs to be done through a large-scale national program, where central govermnet provides granta for modernising cities for efficiench: that includes charge points, insulation and enegy efficiency, etc. All those measures result in long-term savings, and we have record low interest rates

How much value does the average user get out of better patch notes? None, since they don’t even read the patch notes. So is that worth the time for each issue to write and edit a user-facing piece of documentation?

Every little task like this is a waste of time and mental energy that slows down useful work. In my opinion, this is just not worth the effort.
> Perhaps there is a market for a defeat device, a plug that simulates an electric car, like those HDMI/VGA simulators used to trick motherboards into thinking they are attached to a screen. It probably wouldn't need much of a resistor to simulate minimal charging rates.

EV parking isn't that premium or common where this would be valuable. Also, this kind of anti-social behavior is a good way to get your car keyed when someone rolls up and needs 10 miles of power to get home and sees a jerk in a non EV in the only charging spot.

I'm just saying I don't think privacy was a motivation for the exemptions. Would policymakers have considered the possibility of FinCEN leaks? That'd be pretty unusual, since usually they assume it's fine for government agencies to collect as much information as possible.

Beneficial ownership is an old legal concept. It traces through entities to natural persons. Until one gets to the controlling humans, the search keeps running. It is a powerful and costly tool.

Higher population, yes, but not higher concentration (density). But both areas have very large populations, so it's not a differentiator.

This is also true in NorCal, after all cost of housing is even higher here.

I mean,yes? :-)

If I'm going to use something, it should be intuitive and usable. It should be fit for its purpose, especially with a myriad of single and multi purpose tools available to all. This doesn't feel like something I should justify too hard :-)

Twitter is not a necessity of life. I don't have to use it. They want me to use it and if so they can/should make it usable.

Its paradigm and user interface don't work for me personally (and particularly when people try to fit an article into something explicitly designed for a single sentence - it feels like a misuse of a tool,like hammering a screw) so I don't use it. And that's ok!

I don't feel they are morally obligated to make it usable by me. It's a private platform and they can do as they please.

But my wife is a store manager and taught me that "feedback is a gift" - if a customer will leave the store and never come back,she'd rather know why, rather then remain ignorant.

She may or may not choose to address it but being aware and informed is better than being ignorant of the reasons.

So at the end of it, rather than down vote, let me ask what is the actual crux of your argument? People shouldn't be discriminate? They should use optional things they dislike? They shouldn't share their preferences and feedback? Twitter is a great tool for long format essays? Or something we all may be missing?
