I can see this playing into the constraints, to this end, perhaps there is efficiency to making the most out of a single system type and assembly?

Also do you know how many machines it would take to outfit a reasonable demonstration scale facility?

Is that number so large that it constrains the ability to just go that much further?
Author of OP here, I use the tile unpacker as well! I didn't point this out in the OP, but I found the ergonomics of uploading tiles to S3 etc get bad once you're over a couple tens of thousands of tiles, as each upload has some overhead. I've tested PMTiles on S3 successfully with hundreds of millions of tiles.

Deduplication is also important to save space on redundant ocean/earth tiles; MBTiles can deduplicate via views, PMTiles deduplicates by reference, but unpacked Z/X/Y tiles on S3 can't.
No, this is not good think, this leads to discrimination and hate. I am not a furry but I know some IRL and they are nice, good people with private activities that are different that yours. Let it go and don’t worry yourself what persona anonymous folks wanna project. Have fun.
I agree with you, but the problem is, there is no suitable replacement. When someone says, "soccer mom", you know exactly what they mean. And there is no phrase like it.

Just like the phrase "Indian giver". That one is just straight up racist and I will never use it, but sadly I haven't found a substitute for it either. "Someone who gives a gift and then takes it back" just doesn't roll off the tongue...

Awesome, love this bit mentioned:

```

“It is sometimes argued that … [the creation of part-human chimeras] will undermine an important moral view: that it matters, morally, which species we belong to,” the report reads. ”This argument assumes that we ought to preserve the view that boundaries between species are fixed, natural, and morally relevant, with full moral status reserved exclusively for humans. Yet even if creating part-human chimeras alters public attitudes in this way (and it is not obvious that it would), it is unclear why it is important for us to preserve the view that biological humanness is both necessary and sufficient for full moral status… Accordingly, it might be a good thing if the creation of part-human chimeras prompts us to rethink the significance we currently attach to species membership.”

```

Love things that poke at the arbitrary borders in our heads, its part of the reason that I appreciate what the pandemic has shown us about the education system here in the US: <inflammatory-statement> we were forced to confront the reality that the main purpose of grade-school is more so to act as a glorified mass-daycare, rather a 'critical source of development of intelligence/knowledge/maturity'. </inflammatory-statement>
Minio's development culture has a very self-interested feel to it, like it's their thing moreso than the community's thing. Combine that with the corporate pandering it's designed for, and this was a long time coming. Back in February I remarked on IRC "I feel like minio is always one bad day away from changing to some bullshit proprietary license." I'm glad that it's the AGPL and not one of the nonfree fad licenses going around.

For those wondering if they can relicense other people's changes without a CLA, the answer is yes. Apache 2.0 is compatible with the AGPL, so it can be relicensed with it (though the original contributions remain available as Apache 2.0). This does not work backwards, however - this is a one-way change. All of MinIO's code is today and forevermore available under the terms of the AGPL.

They've done a pretty shitty job of it, though. No one should have a license change sprung on them like this. Further indicates that Minio does not value their community's input.
This is such a weird take. The driver nag is a reminder to ensure driver attention, it's not designed to be a security feature. Of course you can defeat it. So what? You can put a brick on the accelerator of a Model A and get it to "drive itself" too!

There have always been an infinite number of ways to deliberately behave unsafely in a car. Why did we only start caring now?

Edit to propose an answer to my final question: what we have here is a confounding prior. If your prior is "Tesla Autopilot is Inherently Unsafe", then the driver nag feature becomes understood as a safety feature ("Tesla Autopilot Needs Supervision"). Thus, a failure of the driver nag becomes evidence for your prior, magically ("Tesla Autopilot is unsafe BECAUSE the Driver Nag Can Be Defeated"). And thus the clickbait.

(And FWIW: I continue to believe that this recent crash did not in fact involve autopilot at all, but we'll see.)
The closest I have seen is in an online store for glasses whose name I cannot recall but might have some spam in my inbox from. They do a decent job with a "printed ruler for scale on your face plus phone camera" to do a "photoshop job" to show the look but not the feel yet. They also just don't seem to get that I buy eyeglasses mostly based upon perscription change and that after I buy is the worst time to send me ads.
I was driving down the highway at night a few years ago, before digital billboards were as common here. I saw one with a dark background that I was struggling to read, but then it transitioned to a different ad with a bright white background.

Instantly blinded. I was fortunate there weren’t a lot of cars around, because it took a few seconds to be able to see clearly again.
Not sure where you could get it for free, but info like this is collected by companies and sold to people who invest in malls/retail real estate.
Very cool. PR is evil. Goal is to manipulate people for the benefit of the business.

Despite all the Tesla hate in the media (Bloomberg and NYTimes seems to have it out for them) whenever you get a unvarnished glimpse of how they do things it always seems thoughtful.

> they're giving you the bare minimum product at the highest possible price as it it increases profit margins.

You can buy a Mac mini with M1 with 8GB of RAM for around 800€, and the same Mac mini M1 with 16GB of RAM for around 1030€. That's hardly "the highest possible price"

Nope. If that were actually true, Alpha, PA-RISC, UltraSPARC, or even Itanium would've killed x86 earlier.

To elabore on my comment, I was more wondering about how I generate those tiles from non-tiled raw PBF country extracts on Geofabrik.
I would say the lesson is can we stop trying to prove him correct. I am getting a bit sick of conspiracy theories going from "that's absurd" to "oh, hey, about that, uhmm, we are actually doing that".

I'm not so sure, if the go authors are happy about that.

they should probably consult a lawyer...
I think it's a mindset, or perhaps the company culture. Many (most?) companies of a certain size these days are completely dependent on technology and probably employ some number of tech employees.

Some companies treat their technology assets (both human and non-human) as critical and respected pieces to their business.

Other companies, even in the same line of business, might treat their tech assets as nothing more than a necessary evil that must be tolerated at best, but always shown their proper place in the pecking order.

There are a lot of unusual thoughts to read about.
Since I started realizing how sexist it sounds to me, I’ve not found a need to use it, other than gatekeeping, of which I’m also not fond.
> That does seem to be the perception.

Thank you for making this explicit. Thus we come full circle to culture wars - that's the only reason for this perception, IMO. From where I stand, culture wars are all about short-circuiting critical thinking and logical analysis, aiming straight to the emotional core - that is how sound-bytes like "kneeling is disrespecting the military/veterans" comes from - there's no sound logic, but it gets people going (I'm sure you can come up with examples used by the left).

> One of the core ideas of BLM is that we live in a systematic racist society. If that is true who are the perpetrators?

The system? It's paradoxic how a group can feel "left behind" or feel like "the forgotten" and simultaneously identify as part the system.
I think the right analogy for the GP post is putting your oxygen mask on and then telling your seatmate they shouldn’t be flying due to climate change.
Aren't those two roughly equivalent by opportunity costs? One which is raking in money is too expensive if your goal is borderline debt dumping fraud when you can buy a mediocre stable business for those shenanigans.
Sure, but that is indistinguishable in the numbers from an out of control law enforcement system where there is a high conviction rate against even the innocent that leads to higher incidence of innocent people making a guilty plea to avoid jail and expense. Of course, that percentage isn't broken out because everyone in here is innocent.
Correct - but this is a line-of-business application software: so I'm assuming that everything about it is subject to changes. The parts of the system that would be thoroughly spec'd out, QA'd (and maybe do have formal proofs) would be the underlying database system they're using which would be a third-party system like Oracle or Sybase or MS SQL (I just hope they're not using Progress/OpenEdge...).

As it is, I don't know what part of the system is responsible for reporting money stolen by postmasters - the BBC News article is light on technical details. The Register has more details: https://www.theregister.com/2021/04/23/post_office_scandal_f... as does this website focused entirely on the trial: https://www.postofficetrial.com/2019_03_25_archive.html

The bugs are described as being part of the systems' payments processing system (as the Post Office does function as a financial institution, after-all) - but that at least some of the bugs were caused by ad-hoc work on the system (wot, no CI/CD to gatekeep releases?!) so I'm thinking this is just institutional incompetence - let alone a lack of software-engineering processes - so the idea of them implementing formal-methods for proving the system's correctness is laughable.
This was really well written, and I loved the visualizations too - I wouldn't have grasped it nearly as quickly without them.

Whoa.

Maybe an hour into testing Safari and I look at Activity Monitor and see that https://calendar.google.com is consuming 1 GB of RAM and https://docs.google.com 865 MB. :o

Don't know if the numbers are comparable but in Chrome's Task Manager the numbers are 224 MB and 121 MB respectively.

Edit: This might be an old (unfixed) issue https://discussions.apple.com/thread/6640430 ... This sucks because I have a specific doc and the calendar that I always keep open in pinned tabs. There are some other sites with seemingly quite high RAM usage as well. Well at least nothing is lagging so I guess I'll just chug on and see what happens.

Edit2: This behavior is just insane. I closed those two tabs and suddenly Gmail shoots up from out of the blue to 1.22 GB?! Then I reopen the two previous tabs (doc/calendar) again and Gmail stays the same while Calendar goes on a diet and sits at 187 MB (doc at 983). This is super weird. I'll just keep them open and see how it behaves overall, might just be wonky numbers?
I've bought it on DVD years back, and still re-watch it somewhat regularly. Love that series... both of them (Yes, Minister and Yes, Prime Minister). That said, and as many echo again and again... for the technically skilled: piracy is an option. It's sad, but once you've exhausted a "reasonable" amount of effort to watch something legally, it's up to you how "bad" you feel for reverting to other means. Pretty sure any film enthusiast is faced with that conundrum on a regular basis.

side-note: I'm so happy to have found a reason to talk about the series. So many scenes are stuck in my head and come to mind when reminded about world affairs constantly. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o861Ka9TtT4 this one for example with Russia and Crimea (just an example off the top of my head)
They were indeed a hacker group at one point. The "everyone is Anonymous" thing worked as an effective smokescreen for a while, and a pool for recruiting. It's like gaming, or sports: tons of people do it casually on the edges, and a handful at the top do it at a very high level for high stakes.

Eventually they moved beyond fun, simple little social causes to more seriously disruptive and economically/politically dangerous stuff, and at that point, not surprisingly, the alphabet agencies slipped in and broke up the party.

I'm under the impression that the US has been sending its AZ doses to Canada and Mexico since mid-March: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2021/mar/18/us-astrazeneca...
We don't really know much about how strong or long lasting natural immunity from infection is so we aren't relying on it and can't make any assumptions. However, immunity from the vaccines is well studied and it's perfectly safe for someone with a history of covid infection to receive a vaccine.

The Trumps both received vaccines before leaving the Whitehouse even though they had prior covid infection. I know at least 4 people with prior covid infection who have received vaccines

https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/covid-19/info-by-product/clinic...

>Data from clinical trials indicate that the currently authorized COVID-19 vaccines can be given safely to people with evidence of a prior SARS-CoV-2 infection. People should be offered vaccination regardless of history of prior symptomatic or asymptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infection. Viral testing to assess for acute SARS-CoV-2 infection or serologic testing to assess for prior infection is not recommended for the purposes of vaccine decision-making.
Looks like the original is under a permissive ("BSD-style") license, in which case they almost certainly can distribute it under any license they want.

OP author here; one thing I didn't touch on is the way that most map services license their basemap data explicitly disallows "caching" which would be inclusive of hosting basemaps yourself on your own storage. So for the cases where it makes engineering or product sense to have your maps on S3, it goes against the dominant map business model.
I love the heck out of that story

It’s a little tacky to use “Dr.” on the basis on an honorary doctorate, and may subject you to ridicule, as happened with “Dr.” Calvin Rolark.

Also, Stallman is misguided in asking the universities if he had permission. It is not a matter of permission, and, even if it were, it would not be the universities’ to give.

I admire Stallman’s accomplishments. But I always get an impression of feigned naïvité when reading these comments of his on his website. Can anyone in his position truly be so innocent?

I saw a similar but different variation involving a low-use system.

Imagine it was a system for detectives to track complex murder* investigations. They only need to conduct approx 10 such investigations per year, but quality/correctness is crucial.

The full end to end tests are performed thousands and thousands of time per year, and if they are slow the entire development effort is slow. So you end up needing to make the whole system performant - even though end users aren’t experiencing the pain, devs/QA are.

(* this is not the actual domain, but similar rarity + criticality)
Years for me. It's bizarre. The basic concept of a hyperlink to a tweet just doesn't work.
I've seen companies automatically patch software (there was a CI pipeline that would clone upstream, automatically apply a patch file, and ship the result), so it's certainly possible to pull+patch without looking at specific changes, let alone watching for a relicense.
Racism and homophobia aren't just bad words, and they were literally in the first three things I looked at.

You first need to follow their process.

You realize, it's not working, following what others recommend for you.

So you follow your process.

You realize, your process is shit too, but you can at least amend it.

You iterate on this, until you reach the center, where you give up. You follow NO-PROCESS.

You retreat, from the world, into yourself.

Into yourself, from the world, you don't, follow, you lead, yourself.

You struggle to lead, others.

That fails.

So you continue. Not because virtue. Not because vice.

You need to be of service, to make money, to survive, you need others.

You find relation, a straw.

Decades pass.

One's better than none. Can you learn any additional lessons from the "no"s than that they went for more established solutions? Did you approach the yes differently? Is there a way that you can overcome "not being established" such as offering to be more responsive?

From one to ten is not just about numbers in your sales funnel. The main thing is learning from every no.
Alright, so to take the most obvious example, and one that might not be adjacent to the one we are talking about but is still useful, the rebellion of the 13 colonies in the late 1700s included people being killed. Not just military. Regular people died. Was that rebellion wrong?

Also bear in mind that nobody was killed by anyone at the capital except for a participant, by a police officer. Also, you didn't answer either of my questions.
IANAL but isn't there a massive difference between an artist making a comment on a totally unrelated field (art world commenting on the business world), and copying a product to use for the same purpose (i.e. a business copying another business's API).

Your denominator could be wrong when you factor in the attributes of the individual considering the shot. Are the blood clots appearing entirely randomly or are they happening more frequently in an identifiable sub-group of vaccine recipients? In the case of the J+J vaccine all the blood clots happened in women 18-48 years old.

Piggy-backing on this topic -- I'd love to have a set (up to a dozen) of cheap devices watching the ground around our house, that could detect primarily, or even exclusively, snakes. I'm in regional Australia, so snakes near abodes are something we want to know about.

Naive motion detection doesn't work, as their total volume within an image is tiny. From what little I can find of people trying to do this, AI/ML struggles, as snakes tend to move slowly and look an awful lot like a stick.
