I wish I had saved some of the links I had found, one source I read said that the non-satellite map data was actually correct, and it was the stitching of the satellite imagery that was incorrect. I had no way to test this and no other source mentioned this, so I ignored it. But it's funny you mention this, #2 might be the case.

robotastronaut also corrected me that it's not actually the GPS that is being obfuscated, but the map coordinate system. So your GPS device is probably receiving correct results, but on an improperly projected map.

There is perhaps an interesting machine learning application here.

There are higher resolution images available at lower frequencies and low resolution images possible with high frequency.

Would it not possible to "zoom and enhance" a low resolution image to higher resolution one using historical high res data of the location and learning from object types and classification?

I suspect the number of people, even developers, for whom 16GB memory is plenty probably greatly exceeds the number who need a beast mode Ryzen. But even then, a large proportion of the devs who might need a Build farm on the back end would be doing that anyway so they might as well have an M1 Mac laptop regardless.

Anyway Mac Pro models will come.
There are plenty of things that can poison the user experience that don't rise above the sub-conscious. Just because you don't notice something doesn't mean that if that thing is improved, you won't have a better experience. E.g. an added 15ms latency on a website.
>In markets with non-financial traders, by definition, everything can't be priced in (you see this in commods, forex...it is why these markets trend).

What are you talking about? commodities and forex is crawling with HFTs and hedge funds.

Also, just because there's a trend dosen't mean you can profit from it. Let's say soybean futures are cheaper in the fall (harvest time) than in the spring. Easy opportunity to make some money right? Just buy in the fall and sell 6 months later. Not so fast, soybeans aren't like stocks where you can hold on to them for $0. You have to take delivery of the soybeans in fall and find a place to store it. That probably eats up a fair chunk of your potential profits. Factor in the risk and your profits will be marginal.

Not sure what gave you that idea; it seems you have never been part of that crowd so just throwing unsubstantiated claims around. Performance has always been one of the major drivers in the JVM development. Just read the JEPs and see for yourself.
* This doesn't need any synchronization between parallel threads - of course the final result is only formed when all the threads finish*

I'm still confused. If one calculates (x+y)*(z+w). You can divide the addition between threads but the multiplication has to happen once these two threads end.

If you're talking a "map-reduce" approach, as far as I understand it, the reduce has to happen once the mapping is done. Which would seem to require synchronization also.
Pun aside, this is the more in the realm of "theoretically possible" rather than possible right now. And people don't consider sun-sized Dyson spheres impossible, so a planet-sized one should be a piece of cake.

I agree with the sentiment that comparing Tesla's market cap with traditional car companies is inaccurate.

For certain companies, market capitalization is a good proxy for enterprise value, but as this poster is mentioning, that's not always the case for companies with debt.

enterprise_value = market_cap + debt - cash

Looking at the market caps of long-standing US car manufacturers is doubly problematic cause they have significant pension obligations. They're producing cars to build shareholder value and pay for retirements.

Comparing market capitalizations of companies that have completely different debt / pension obligations is misleading.

This is a really surreal response, given the part of that same comment that you seem to have forgotten to read:

>> In space, satellites will pass over the region every X hours no matter what. Planet's satellite have a fresh, high resolution map of the Earth ~3.5 hours. Google had, at the very least, 13 satellites imaging the Earth in 2017, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SkySat . It is unclear, to me, how many space assets they do have, but I'm guessing they image the entire globe every week, at the very least.

I beleive that Kotlin was built not to sell IntelliJ, but to build IntelliJ. JetBrains has that line of about 20 IDEs all written in Java sharing an awful lots of common code. I think that together it is among largest Java codebases still in super-active development.

So, you have to code on Java 40 hrs per week year by year. All those `Foo foo = new Foo();`, every day. And you think: "If only there was a language like Java, but better, and it was interoped with Java, so you can gradually introduce it into Java codebase!".

The curvature of the earth is gonna be a limiting factor for satellites in LEO. IIRC at 500 miles up you can only see (roughly) 1500 miles away. And realistically your range will be less than that because something that far away will be at a very oblique angle, which means more atmosphere in the way and more distortion

You've now introduced two more magic constants, though, and so the question continues: where do those come from?

Your last example sounds like a complete failure of leadership. And the accountability buck stops with them for enabling that situation.

If this virus indeed came from a lab, then:

a.) It was covered up,

b.) The people responsible hid crucial information which could have helped contain the spread in the early days and find treatments,

c.) The people assuring us that lab creation was an impossible "conspiracy theory" at the very least have egg on their face, and at worst have no credibility or were engaged in a campaign of mis/disinformation.

And that's without getting into questions of whether the "leak" story is being used to cover for "intentional release."

Thank you for taking the time to reply.

I have mentioned this here before but after a friend (and previous manager and mentor) died in his early 50s literally overworking I totally changed my life.

He was found by his wife and son as they were getting ready for school. He was in his home office with a P&L still on the screen after suffering a stroke working late. Two years later his son is still suffering from that moment and it breaks my heart to see the pain and difficulties they have had to endure.

My friend worked so hard to provide for them but the shock broke the family. Without his income they could no longer continue living the way they were with private education and such a huge mortgage. A huge mistake my friend made was not ensuring he had adequate life insurance.

Because of this I am aware that I have a very biased view of overworking and that this doesn't happen to everyone, or even the majority, of people who overwork. When something like this hits you so personally though it is difficult to shift.

I wish you all the best on the bootstrap but please stay aware of your health if you continue to work very long hours. Remember you can always earn more money but never earn that time.
My cpu usage graph shows all cores at 100% for most of the compilation. But near the end it uses fewer and fewer cores. Then linking is a single core affair. It seems like a reasonable all-round benchmark because it leans on both single- and multi- core performance.

And I really care about rust compile times because I spend a lot of small moments waiting for the compiler to run.

Tangentially related but where does this come from and why is it so widely repeated (as in this article):

> ...Gaza, one of the most densely populated places in the world

I've seen this claim (both in the "one of the most..." and "the #1 most..." forms) many times and I don't know where it comes from. What am I missing?

Here[0] wikipedia says Gaza Strip has ~5,046/sqkm. I thought maybe Gaza City was meant, it's density is 13,000/sqkm[1]. Neither of these come close to ranking on wikipedias list of cities by population density[2], and I haven't been able to find any "most populated places" lists that list anything below 15,000 people per square kilometer, which Gaza city is well below.

Is the BBC just plain wrong here or am I missing something? I hope it's me because if it's the former, that says something really bad about their fact checking and would suggest that BBC is not a reliable/trustworthy source, at least on this topic.

I've built whm [0] also known as WiFi heatmap generator. This project is actually just a week old. For the past few weeks I was searching for a proper tool that can benchmark and profile my Access Point locations at my home. Tried a lot of android and windows apps and got frustrated using them. So I ended up making whm and releasing it to public. The project currently is able to capture metrics like WiFi latency, jitter TCP and UDP bandwidth across iperf3, speedtest and librespeed. So far its only me who is maintaining it and hopefully some might be interested in it.

I think this is a common phenomenon, not just for individuals but for entire organizations. Over my career I have entered various large existing software projects. I've only seen two classes: (1) "we use spaces only", and (2) "we used to allow tabs but new code must use spaces only". Whatever the perceived theoretical benefits of tabs may be, in practice they seem to cause headaches for teams.

Yup. Even the fuel injection (in most cases) is based on 1950's designs though.

Even back in the 1980s, when I was asked to reimplement the heirarchical DEC VMS "help" command for SunOS (in a terminal window), it was necessary to handle individual characters rather than use line-oriented input. The VMS "help" command had been written for VT100/VT200 terminals and their cousins, and was designed to take action on a single key press, rather than waiting for a return/enter action to "send" the command.
Fascinating subject. I also just want to mention why it makes sense that people SELL put options, in addition to buying them.

If you sell a put option, then you have the obligation to sell in the future at the fixed price, regardless of the market price at the time. However, many of these positions are "covered", meaning that someone can sell a put option while owning as many stocks as they sell in options. So if the stock goes above the strike price, they have the option of selling the shares the already own. Thus, the seller is not on the hook for infinite losses. They merely trade the potential for unlimited gains in return for a fee.

I've always thought it would be fun to get into options by regular, automated, selling of covered put options. You get paid by speculators for underwriting their speculating. But... options pricing models are like real academic. It's like a real job.
> pernicious

The real pernicious thing is the assumption that one cannot improve one's state by improving ones choices and actions. People are not doomed to be poor because their parents are poor. But if a person assumes this to be true, they are indeed dooming themselves to poverty.
Thanks for that. I had only checked a couple of them on the list but your comment encouraged me to check them all, and I found a source in stock.

> But that's more working around the problems than fixing them, no?

I don't think Unix signal behavior is the problem. The problems outlined in the article stem from people using them inappropriately. The new signal syscalls introduced in Linux over the years haven't stopped people from misusing them.

> You can't really move all signal handling logic to a dedicated process, because every process can receive signals.

Processes are not obliged to take action in response to signals. But, they could simply propagate the signal data to the parent process via a pipe file descriptor it inherits. Then, you could place all the signal-handling logic into a supervisor -- the supervisor would get notified via a pipe when one of its descendants receives a signal, and take appropriate action.

> And as for databases: every major production database I've seen implements its own authentication and permission scheme, so it can do things like provide ACLs on a more granular (per-table, sometimes per-row) basis.

No one said an application can't have its own authentication and permission scheme. All I am saying is that if you factor your application into multiple processes running under different system-level user accounts, you can get more mileage out of the Unix permission system than you could otherwise, because the kernel would be able to distinguish individual pieces of your application as having different sets of permissions.
The math and cryptography background required is complex. If you're lazy, I would suggest doing something else. Deep understanding of blockchain implementations would take months of study and, I'd argue, is fairly pointless.
