I can hardly imagine configuring my everyday carry so that a payment card is more accessible than my phone.

The latter is like 20 times more frequently used, and I speak as someone who does not use it to pay (at least not directly). Very odd premise, to me.
> I still like the work, but the non-stop stress from corona, the non-stop news and the barely functioning society makes work a bit futile.

I don't know how the breakdown of society makes itself felt for you, but if it's through news: take a sabbatical from news. The important stuff ("the sky is falling") will still reach you, but all the stuff that's not immediately relevant to you (i.e. everything not happening in a 30m radius around your home) isn't, and can't stress you out.

Our company made the switch from Leaflet to OpenLayers as we were unable to reproject rasters with different CRS to the map's CRS in Leaflet.

Is there any plan to add on-the-fly reprojection within Leaflet core? Is it even the core's job to deal with projection or should this be done by plugins?
Sadly, this does not work on the newest version of their client.
Thank you for taking the time to explain that — that is largely new information to me and I appreciate the succinct summary with clear starting points to learn more.
They're waiting for the remaining NATO and other western diplomats and personnel to leave.
The evacuation is ongoing. They have the airport surrounded but they don't engage war against the NATO soldiers.
So they try to look legit both inside and internationally. After the last NATO soldier leaves the airport who knows what will they do.

An ego the size of the planet. Brilliant communications about frankly not very much. Had some lunatic ideas (read Wikipedia for his zinc/peace story) and shopped a metaphor to death.

He was oversold in the 70s. You couldn't move for stories about him.

Professional "geniuses" need the quotes. Pinker, Kurzweil.. all of them are much-in-little.

(He was, unquestionably, bloody smart. Far smarter than the average Joe, far far smarter than me. He wasted his talents. Consider Robert McNamara. Don't agree with a lot he did, (Vietnam!) but I suspect he was a similar calibre to De Bono)
Nelson later withdrew his proof (after Terrence Tao corrected him).

Instead, he took a philosophical position on the matter of whether Mathematics is discovered or invented: https://web.math.princeton.edu/~nelson/papers/rome.pdf

He sided with Computer Scientists.
Sensible, consistent UI. So refreshing.
Wouldn't you have to look at the age of the population that is in hospital and that populations vaccination rate to accurately gauge this?. The overall vaccination rate could be vastly lower or higher than the overall population depending on what priority groups israel had.
If plastic is as recyclable as plastic manufacturers would have us believe, we could impose a ban on the production of new plastic after a short transitional period. Try suggesting that to anyone with an interest in the plastic production or consumption complex and see how they respond.

Even if one wanted to recycle all the plastics they use, it's damn near impossible. Firstly, what is and isn't "currently" recycled is not particularly transparent to the end-user. Your local authority (or privatised collection company in the case of businesses) might have a confusing set of rules and guidelines on how to dispose of different types of plastic (which to most regular folk are just "plastic"). Whoever's collected the waste probably doesn't deal with it themselves but sells it on, and then it's a gamble as to whether that 3rd party recycles it, ships it off to a poorer territory, or just burns it.

The reason for reading the existing traffic signs is that they already exist. If you would design roads for autonomous cars, you'd replace the signs with eg. radio beacons and the like.
You have a point.

However, they are also empire builders whose agenda requires weakening the power, wealth and stability of every entity that they consider targets and/or competitor. As someone who lives in one such entity, I consider this threatening.

Not glorious-nuclear-self-destruction dreadful, but still potentially life-threatening.
Its very heavily customised.
Wait, you're suggesting we should murder people? If so, I'm out.
Yes, that is true. But it is one more reason why we are not getting back to normal any time soon (in my opinion).

It will get only more difficult, in the early phases of the vaccine rollout, with patience and improved logistics, the ratio of vaccinated people improved rapidly. But what can they do next? Now comes the "stick", they will introduce more and more hurdles for the unvaccinated, but that takes time, causes resistance, and it will not increase the numbers fast enough.

All the while the variants are coming, and the existing vaccines do not show the same protection against the new variants, so there is a chance that the cycle will just continue with new variants, and new vaccines, new variants...
Sorry I don't understand what you're suggesting.

I currently intercept calls to
malloc/calloc/realloc/... and capture stack traces. This way I know how much memory gets allocated for each allocation site. Since allocations usually go through constructor calls, the presence of a constructor in the stack trace can let you infer how many structures of a given type are been allocated. Knowing how big they are is more tricky since allocation for the whole struct and its parts doesn't have to happen entirely in the constructor (some structures like vectors and hashmaps can grow, some structures can collect data from other sources and then hold onto them, etc)

Furthermore to know how the live memory is broken down between object type and allocation sites, you also need to track freed memory. This is significantly more tricky to do efficiently. I currently take an allocation sample every N bytes being allocated and use a poisson process estimator to scale the total allocated bytes.

The only ways I know to account for in use memory is to track every single allocation or to add some extra space for every allocation where we record whether a block had been sampled and of yes, what was its corresponding allocation event.

Can you please elaborate more on your suggestion?
Do you have any reading resources to share about faults in Pew Research’s methodology? If they are untrustworthy, it would be good to know
Most democracies do indeed elect their representatives per voting district, with each vote inside said district having the same voting power, and each district electing one representative.

Then, for those where a prime minister rules, the prime minister is chosen by the elected representatives.

In presidential democracies, the president is usually directly elected by voters, on a nationwide basis, independently of voting districts.

So having a majority of the votes gets you elected.

It is scary, depressing, and also incredible how comprehensively the Taliban is cementing their power and embedding themselves throughout the country. I am shocked they are sophisticated enough to implement biometric verifiable of political adversaries. Here are some other such news stories and social media accounts I read today about how the Taliban is pursuing control, many of which had photos and videos that made this tragedy feel very real to me:

1. The Taliban took over police stations and freed prisoners in virtually every town they captured. Many released were people jailed for terrorist activities or other crimes associated with fundamentalism, while others will simply welcome their liberators and join their ranks.

2. Taliban fighters went door to door confiscating weapons from private citizens, claiming they “don’t need them anymore”. Disarming the public ensures they will not face unexpected resistance.

3. A female journalist noted that overnight the town she was in changed, such that women were nowhere to be seen in the streets. There was also a clip of a female CNN journalist being asked to leave the immediate area because of her gender.

4. In Kabul, Taliban forcefully entered hotel rooms of foreigners, interrogated them, assaulted them if they resisted, examined/confiscated documentation, examined/confiscated electronics, and so on.

5. Taliban have begun questioning people to report on neighbors’ activities to identify US collaborators and members of the Ghani government. One woman tearfully spoke about how she’s afraid she and people she knows will be taken away from their family if people snitch.

6. Taliban have set up checkpoints controlling traffic within, into, and out of all significant towns and on all significant infrastructure.

7. The Taliban are testing out captured military equipment such as humvees, helicopters, and surveillance drones that the US left behind, to incorporate them into their military practice as soon as possible.

8. The Taliban have already begun forcing young girls to be married to their fighters in smaller towns.
They probably mean source as in "what you get from Spotify", as opposed to what you can record after Spotify has decoded it, which you'd have to re-encode.
That may be be true for someone 55-65, but 38 is still really young!

If I want to use an image as a source of my tiles.
Should I split the image into chunks to load them when user moves the map around? Or is there any other way to do that? Are there any tools that would help split an image into those chunks?

It depends what income band you are in:

It is not useful to consider top tax rates for every state unless you are in the top tax rate income bands for every state.
True. Who knows what they do after that. The Afghan war was a mess basically from day one, the retreat is in a different league al together so. Quite embarrassing for the most powerful military alliance on the planet, too.
Asia does not just mean « China ». Canada has been sending its plastic to the Philippines, where it is constantly mismanaged and ends up in the ocean (edit: not helped by the fact that Canada’s plastic was full of household garbage making it impossible to recycle properly anyway, see [1]) . Is it Philippines fault for mismanaging ? Sure, but it has been public for a long time and Canada kept sending plastic over there knowing full well what would happen with it. But it doesn’t matter because no one will blame plastic coming from Asia’s river on Canada.

Same story applies to India’s ship dismantling industry, where tons of damaging materials ends up in the ocean. Do we stop sending our ships there ? Of course not, because it doesn’t matter no one will blame Carnival for that.

We are not paying for recycling we are paying for environment damage laundering, so that at home we can display impressive lies such as « 98% of Canadian plastic is recycled » or whatever.

Weimar was forced on them and was seen as disorderly mess by population. Yes, they had parliament pre-WWI and they still were not democracy. They were monarchy run by royal families. They were also highly militarized country at that too.

Heya would you mind sharing which app you use?

I'm only starting to get into RSS on my PC now after having recently seen the light.

Would be keen to sync this to my phone as well somehow.

Thanks.

This uses the same API as libspotify, a library for accessing Spotify for playback that Spotify released themselves. It’s not been supported for a while so future support for this API is unclear, but it’s not clearly going to be shut down like you suggest.

Apple Music also has an official and maintained API for building third party clients.
Although the title is correct because it speaks of killing "support" for RSS, these kind of titles about tech giants 'killing' all kinds of stuff make me laugh. Saying that Google is killing RSS is like saying a gazelle running away from a lion is at the same time killing that lion. :') I don't think it works like that.
oh? I'm on stable version from snap and it's still alive - time to find a way to keep an old version around just in case (apparently snaps don't make this easy.)
It is pretty useless to have a single ranking for tax rates when people of various incomes have various tax rates. This report gives a better idea for an individual’s tax rate based on income, although it does not take into account personal circumstances due to prop 13 in CA:

I find it amusing that you (and others) presume why some did a thing. Their motivations.

If you want something stored for historical reasons, shared by media, news, archive.org, png presents unvarnished stuff.

5, 10 years from now, people will scratch their head, and wonder why people cared about such tiny filesizes.

Amazing how many people do not understand marginal income taxes.
I don't know about Poland, but Ukraine is certainly not a democracy. Starting from the fact that the presidents are appointed by oligarchs (you may call it a conspiracy theory, but it's true), the country is plagued by corruption. Ending with the fact that current president and his party are closing media of opposing parties (so much for "freedom of speech").

Nor does it help the Ukraine. All the industry was destroyed in the last 30 years. And agriculture is not enough: if you seed all available land of Ukraine, it would produce only about $40 bln of agricultural products, while Ukraine yearly imports from abroad are $60 bln. The country is unsustainable, it would eventually collapse. It's not the only country in the world that consumes more than it produces, but other countries have some kind of advantages allowing them to subsist while being netto importers. E.g. USA also consumes more than it produces, but it can freely print world reserve currency and buy whatever it needs. If someone objects, it has most expensive army with bases all over the world to suppress any discontent. Ukraine doesn't have a single possible way out.

Eventually people that have any skills and energy will migrate to Europe/Russia/other countries (I was constantly surprised how many there're Ukrainians working in every part of the world - even the most remote ones), existing population will wither. There's a conspiracy theory that Ukrainian government is afraid to organize population census (the last one was long time ago), because they know that results will be unpleasantly surprising.
I've never noticed any difficulty getting LilyPond running on MacOS or Linux? I use it regularly on MacOS, and keep it installed on Linux for special occasions.
But as a sibling has posted, this is a posture / plausible deniability thing.

I've looked it up a few years ago, so this may have changed, but at the time you couldn't just ask Spotify for the SDK / docs to build your own Connect client. I don't remember the details, but you'd have to jump through some hoops, at which point I stopped looking since I wasn't about to build anything industrial. I expect some terms would be that you'd at least try to protect the keys.
People still commute an hour or more (using a lot of public transport) in large-ish European cities because there simply isn't enough housing in the cities (and through some kind of bacterial growth law, there will never be enough in the city) and what is there is of course extremely expensive. Naturally many people live in suburbian-ish things.
> Which is a much stupider question.

I don't think it's a stupid question at all; not when the effect is so large. It was literally double what it should be, leading to a 3x overall win rate.

Coming from Dota 2, if there was a bug like this it would be caught within minutes, if not seconds, and patched within an hour or two.

Unfortunately no, that won’t work either. No culture can change it’s behavior without significant buy in from the people which takes a lot of work and time, no matter what you’re trying to do. And more money and more people does not usually mean faster.
The stated reason is "your eyes dont shoot lasers, so a camera is good enough". But the implied reason is cost for sure. With how fast the price of lidar drops, and its abilities increase (think solid state lidar), I wonder how long until first tesla with lidar rolls down the production line, or if Elon is too proud to ever allow that

WA now has a 1% income tax for W2 income in the form of 0.4% for family leave/sick leave/parental leave and 0.6% for long term care insurance (which is effectively a marginal income tax considering the state LTC insurance benefits are pathetic).

They also snuck in a way for current residents to get out of paying the 0.6% LTC tax if you were heads up enough about already getting LTC insurance earlier this year, but anyone moving here after Oct 2021 is screwed.

I think its certainly worth to download an app to save waste, however, I wouldn't pin peoples reluctance only on convenience. Nowadays it seems you have to download an app for literally everything, and I think many people don't understand why.

I'm one. I was asked to do blogging and it combines well with the PM role because a lot of the PM gig is the "why" of things. If (like me) you're ageing out or an SME with historical knowledge of declining relevance, blogging is a path to retirement.

If I could stop PM and blog 2 days/week, I'd be fine. I don't need the sprint and opportunity cycle headaches.
My partner lived and worked in CA in the early 2000's. Moved to NYC in 2004. Had zero ties to CA after that. Switched her driver's license, voter registration, filed and paid taxes in NY, owned and operated a company in NY, had no CA bank accounts or investments, never set foot back in the state. CA still would regularly come after her about every other year and make her go through the same process of calling and sending them paperwork to convince them that she didn't live there. Her bank accounts would get frozen for weeks at a time and she's paid lawyers thousands of dollars to clear it up. That continued regularly until 2014, when we moved abroad and she closed her US bank accounts. CA probably still thinks she's a resident but now there aren't any bank accounts for them to go after.
Thanks for the well intentioned comment but not all kids are the same. Nor are their needs. I don’t want to get into my child’s details (special needs, learning disability, needs some apps for a special school that he attends)

I’ve since cleared all this up with him but that’s not even the point.

The point is Apple was charging me (weekly) without providing the means to even see what I was paying for nor the ability to cancel it.

It was $10 /week for a ringtone app ($520 per year) which is a blatantly obvious scam. The app had a “3 day” trial which requires the child to cancel 24 hours before the trial period ends.

In reality, that is a two day trial. How they can legally call that a three day trial is beyond me.

It’s a scam, plain and simple. They should be ashamed.

Partly that, and the USA's much higher car dependence in general. I'd wager the average adult in the USA spends more time in a petrol station than the average European.

Agreed. I live in Hong Kong which has arguably some of the best public transport in the world - which is great until you are out of a service area of the MTR, then it's undersized packed busses mixed with convoluted bus routes - which even without the heavy road traffic leave you feeling exhausted.

Doing the same commute by car has been a significant quality of life improvement - not least because I have a few square feet to myself while I'm in transit!
