It's a reasonable word for the many interpretive choices that go into translating data into a map. What to include, when to show it, etc.
What kinds of things could one build with this? Apart from a mobile carrier.
I think Firewires downfall is due to the success of USB. USB is still hated in the industry by many, because it is very unreliable. Most components don't work as specified. Some just stated up front that 3m cables are the limit, because a 5m cable like the standard defines is far too vulnerable against EM interference because the speed of USB2 hits physical limits. USB3 is just more lines and a more efficient data transfer on lower levels.

Still, the plain reality was that firewire was too expensive. For manufacturers and users alike. USB was the far cheaper option with the same of even better capabilities, realiability problems weren't that know when devices were planned. The standard for USB is as verbose as that of firewire, but it wasn't hindered by restrictive licencing.

> But...work friends aren't friends. It's very rare to stay in touch if you change jobs

The exact same holds for other situational friendships. Stop drinking, stop going to church, get injured and stop playing sport, and see how long those friendships last. That doesn't make them any less real.

The connections you have with work friends from previous jobs persist; you can catch up about old faces, industry and workplace goings on, and career progression among people who understand the situation intimately.
Depends. If the power source is decent enough, it's fine. If not, you'll end up with a swollen battery, like I did, and you'll get rid of it as fast as possible.
Chrome does seem to save the JPEG version on some WebP or AVIF URLs where there is also a JPEG version available too, although it seems to be 'clever' about it rather than explicitly offering the option, which can make saving the actual WebP or AVIF mildly annoying.
Yes, that's FUD. You can't have a completed long term study when a vaccine has not been on the market for a long enough term. That's pretty obvious.

Of course, but then again, it seems a bit unreasonable to hold these grudges forever.

An Analysis of Transaction Handling in Bitcoin
Curious to see how it compares to BGP:

https://bellard.org/bpg/

Comparison:

http://xooyoozoo.github.io/yolo-octo-bugfixes/

But again, the main bottleneck with image compression is embedded software, like smartphone, cameras, etc. There is a compromise and cost/benefit between file size, transistor requirement, CPU cycles, power required, etc.

For example, I would be interested to see the size of binary code required to compress JPG, JPG XL, BGP, WEBP, etc.
I've been following Taleb for years. I generally like abrasive style and his calling out of intellectual class. But some of his personal attacks on Bitcoin supporters is a little over the top.

From Twitter:

> [Peter McCormack] Would you discuss your findings in this paper with me. I’d like to explain to you why I think you are wrong. I believe this paper is not objective, rather written from a position of wanting to confirm your recent anti-Bitcoin position.

> [Taleb] Listen, fucking idiot. Go write your own rebuttal. The only good thing your amoeba brain is good at is in harassing mobs, intimidating innocent people who have a different opinion, pushing them to close their twitter accts. So stay quiet on my thread and keep your mouth shut.

I get that he doesn't want to engage in someone on a non-technical level or dumb down his argument, but these exchanges are off-putting. I haven't seem him express such consistent direct vitriol to others he considers fraudsters (central bankers, economists, pop-pyschology authors, journalists, etc). It's just weird that he's been going on a months long rage against people that invest their own money in something they believe in.

His paper might address this, but it seems like support for crypto to be a rather innocuous interest.

For that to happens common keyboards need to include these esoteric symbols. Yes, esoteric. Who's in the market for a keyboard with Greek alts? Or do you prefer a space cadet keyboard? What if you already have a US-Arabic keyboard which is fairly common?

The fact is it's easier to type "mu" instead of "u" (like right now, I can't be bothered to look up "mu unicode", or open the special characters picker, or exhaustively brute force alt-gr key combos to find the mu).

Take it a step further, I wish physicists and mathematicians would stop naming their variables so poorly so that only the most seasoned of their field can follow along.

Sometimes, like v (velocity) it's quite obvious, at other times I find myself staring at scripts with insane variables like a,o,t_o, etc. And this is a habbit that seems to carry over to non-academic code as well. It's trivial to spot code written by a mathematician because it tends to be incredibly obfuscated.

Do you really need to name your constants K_(single letter)? Or can you just write "AIRDENSITY" once and let your editor autocomplete it in the future?

The reason I complain about these symbols is because they don't have clearly defined meaning. Maths/Physics had to pull out the Greek alphabet after it exhausted the Latin alphabet (and overloaded most letters with 2 or more meanings) and then promptly molested the Greek one in the same way. Just look at Omega. It's useless. It has been overloaded with so many possible meanings that it has none. Stop naming your variables "omega". Unlike Maths, programming languages support variable names of more than 1 character long.
Either way it's not a "standard OSM app", just a popular one.

It could just as well be that Joe doesn't want to bore you with the details of the content he creates. If he started every conversation with "Hi I'm Joe, I create in-depth reviews of old coin marketplaces and their products on a daily basis" 99% of the folks he talks to would probably instantly check out. That doesn't mean he's not proud, it means he's practical and knows his audience.
The lesson of the cracked screen is: always pair you phone for adb as one of the first steps in setting it up, and if possible, root it.

You might need it if the screen cracks and you want to save data off it.

Sometimes there are ways around it by dirty booting a recovery image, but it's not as simple as it sounds, and you'd need an unlocked bootloader to do so: https://petermolnar.net/article/save-files-from-a-dead-scree...

It's an interesting discussion, for sure. I'm on the buy side right now, because it's an accounting solution, and I'm scared we don't know enough to build a competing product in a regulated space. We're more legaltech than fintech, so it feels like we'd be committing resources to the wrong place.
Bitcoin slumps in wake of China crackdown
I think 'toxic' in the case of AGPL means that companies who would like to run privately-modified versions of your AGPL software on their servers for end-users to use (remotely) don't want to share their changes.

If your priority is strictly that you want everyone to benefit from improvements that are made, AGPL isn't toxic.

On the other hand, it might limit what improvements are made in the first place, because companies that don't want to share won't adopt the software and make those improvements.

So the dilemma is one of priorities. If you want widespread adoption by companies, you have to license in such a way that companies can keep private modifications, because that's their priority. (Unless they are an open source company, and I would be surprised if those have a problem with AGPL.)

There is a secondary dilemma where companies worry about where the line is between 'private modification' and 'mere aggregation'. It's understandable that companies who think their crown jewels are the network services they provide, would worry that using AGPL software as part of their services might be found to be so closely related to the AGPL software that it's a derivative of it, making the whole thing is subject to AGPL release terms. Especially if engineering gets a bit sloppy about copying and pasting.

Some companies ban GPL software, not just AGPL.

Inovation ? Will it make life easier for people ? No. You still need to update. Will the page load faster ? No page still has 30 Mb at 50 kbps. Lossless ? Same as PNG. Lossy - same as JPG.

Find the kind of system you'd be interested in working on and start building one yourself. For me it was a game engine + an editor for it, but it could be anything you find the motivation to build.

Start with a book or a few texts/tutorials on the subject and begin building. Along the way you'll find the questions and choices involved. Find the answers from the internet or books. This is when I'd recommend some open source projects (not earlier) to see how they solved the specific problems. If you just go into an open-source project you won't have an understanding of the problem, just the answers, so it won't help you nearly as much.
Nobody but the most secure payment providers store credit card information. The legal requirements and implications are so big you never want to have credit cards touching your systems directly. Think about storing private healthcare information, the credit card industry is in some respects even more strict. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Payment_Card_Industry_Data_Sec... I'm not even sure if you could get business insurance, mine forbids dealing with credit card data.

> However for people who just check out with their credit cards

There are plenty of solutions by the various payment providers, e.g. https://stripe.com/docs/payments?payments=popular ranging from buttons that open a new webpage (on the payment provider domain) and return after success to iframes that look like your own website but securely transfer input to the payment provider's systems. Paypal does ask the user to login but I think that's optional. Stripe doesn't have user accounts so Stripe doesn't ask users to sign in.
Indeed. I checked it out on my phone, and it works the same as MAPS.ME did, and also they state this on their github repo:
"Organic Maps is a better fork of MAPS.ME, an Android & iOS offline maps app for travelers, tourists, hikers, and cyclists based on top of crowd-sourced OpenStreetMap data and curated with love by MAPS.ME founders. No ads, no tracking, no data collection, no crapware."

Although, they're still downloading the maps from mapswithme.com. It'd be nice to have an alternative ecosystem.

Nearly every phone today is sold with a USB C port.

"But this phone is older than..."

My Moto Z Play was released in 2016. That phone is now 5 years old. It came with Nougat... and I can mirror the screen with a USB C hub with Built in HDMI. Plug in a mouse and you're done.

No need to leave adb enabled, which is a security hole that can be exploited by unsafe USB ports and bad actors. (Also, police.)
Here is proof that being technically capable is not so useful if you don't have corporate/governmental/legal knowledge and "street smarts"

If not, well... (Not saying it should be like this, I'm saying drawing attention to yourself needlessly is not the wisest thing, especially if you don't have a plan B)
Optimal would be for students to get subsidized by society, because it profits from higher education standards. Or the fact that the logistics of information are that cheap, that the model of elite universities should be questioned completely. People already have to ability to listen to the best profs there are outside an educational institutions. Interaction is different than in university because lecturers aren't really supervising you directly, but there is still benefit to this.

Not based in the US, so that seems self explanatory to me. But no country currently invests too much in young people. This will come back at older gens at some point. At least I dearly hope so.

Just an additional comment, using sincos in the comparison is not really fair, because it is a change to the algorithm (it assumes that a is real), because in general

exp(x) = exp(x.real())+ sincos(x.imag())

(for simplification sincos(x) returns cos(x) + jsin(x), but you get the point).

The other code can't easily optimise for that (although it would be a nice optimisation). Interestingly (and I can't explain why, maybe someone knowing more about julia), if I change the code of that third method using tturbo to use the cis function (or exp) it becomes a factor of 20 slower and is actually the slowest of all the different algorithms)

My wife wanted a picture with a family tree in the sitting room, where there's a picture of a real tree and names and photos all over the branches of the tree, because she saw the family tree of her uncle. She is Asian.

We tried Gramps about a month ago and discovered that Gramps didn't seem to support this use case easily. It's a pity because the name «Gramps» seems to hint at easy usability for simple people, too.

Can you recommend low-cost software? If the software covers wooden family trees well I am ready to invest even a couple hundred bucks. It's important that my wife can do this work herself. She is not computer-illiterate but not a programmer herself. She is a typical end user.

Parent is talking about temporary tables. Those are normally only live for the duration of a transaction (well, session, but in practice if you're using temporary tables across multiple transactions you have a logical application-level transaction which needs to be able to handle failure part-way through). After your transaction the writes to non-temporary tables should be persistent.

Postgres temp tables on ramdisk are a problem for a different reason, the WAL, as pointed to by a sibling comment.
