I also travel a lot, but by motorcycle.

Personally, I put everything interesting on a map, and make a custom route that goes through it. In cities, I make itineraries on the fly, based on my mood. I don't need to see everything - not in 2-3 days.

What I'd really need is a map that combines route planning (Google My Maps), marker collection (Google Maps), exploration (Google Trips or Wikivoyage), area weather (Ventusky), and average weather for the time of the year. Other niceties would include border control requirements and COVID restrictions.

I think that this illustrates how wildly different everyone's travel planning is.

So even if a windows build is available, sometimes the user experience of linux-first software on windows can be subobtimal because of differences in filesystem and process model of the two operating systems. I much prefer using git and emacs within WSL than their windows builds.

> The only reason I run windows in the first place is for a few apps, mostly games

Another reason to use windows is if you are on a laptop and care about battery life. Browsers on Linux still don't have hardware accelerated video playback.

> “They’ve made the process a bit smoother, but developers still can’t initiate refunds or cancellations themselves,” notes RevenueCat CEO Jacob Eiting, whose company provides tools to app developers to manage their in-app purchases. “It’s a step in the right direction, but could actually lead to more confusion between developers and consumers about who is responsible for issuing refunds.”

> In other words, because the forms are now going to be more accessible from inside the app, the customer may believe the developer is handling the refund process when, really, Apple continues to do so.

Yeah, maybe that's even worse...

I know I'm in the minority but Apple does a shitty job on subscriptions. I frequent 2 countries. As such I need apps that are only available in one country's store (banking apps). In order to download needed updates have to switch stores. Switching stores cancels all subscriptions.

Another example of place Apple is failing (though I know of no alternatives), I went to a restaurant, the waiter told me I could pay by scanning the QR code in the receipt. This took me to a webpage that allowed me to pay via Apple Pay, but there was a message "Your email will be share and used to send ads". No way to opt out. I hadn't entered any email address, Apple was just going to give it to them. I closed the page and paid cash but was frustrated that Apple gives out email addresses.
Thanks for pointing out my error about the DM vs. X11 starting first, I was hesitant to even try to explain how that worked because I find it confusing and I just knew I would get something wrong. I will correct the article when I have a moment.
Ideally, such software should be tooling, not an all-encompassing platform.

I use Google My Maps a lot for trip planning. When I'm done, I can share the map with other people, or export it to my phone. This is good.

A tool like that that would also facilitate discovery and collaboration - a sort of Google Docs for maps - would be a lot more useful.

I don't think that's magic in the hypervisor, so I doubt it affects overall performance of the VM very much. But WSL images have a special boot process instead of a full init system like systemd, which is probably where the fast startup comes from. Maybe it also has to do with how they configure storage for the VM. On real hardware with a decent SSD, Ubuntu usually gets you a graphical login in less than 10 seconds.

Anyway it's a cool feature, and I'd love to know more about how it works.

There might be problems with Thunderbolt docks and monitors, I have no experience with those.

On the other hand, I have used continuously during the last 5 years Thunderbolt SSDs from several brands as my boot and working drives (i.e. without using any internal storage), with many computers, mainly Dell laptops and Intel NUCs.

Besides obviously being faster, the Thunderbolt 3 SSDs have been far more reliable than the external SSDs using USB.

So there is at least something that works properly, but I do not know if that is also true on MacBooks, because I have always used Thunderbolt only in Linux.
Hmm, I think this is easy to do on Google maps. Put in your origin and destination, then add a destination, and search for what you want, the map will show you results along your route with the number of minutes detour.

I think it's important to remember this was Sculley's Apple which was not at all good at judging market viability. I think the problem with the Newton platform, as it actually shipped, was sort of designed (and priced) for the jet setting executive. There was no real content creation, "office" capability, or even long-form input. It was an electronic briefcase with a built-in secretary. The Newton didn't synchronize with desktop PIM apps because executives had people to do that for them.

The Palm Pilot was designed for people that actually have work to do so it synchronized with the software on the desktop they used. It was also priced to be affordable by someone that didn't have the corporate black AmEx in their wallet. It was a handheld extension of their PIM software with a calculator.

As someone who travels full time, Google's introduction of yellow blobs on the maps in the past year or two has been an absolute game changer for me. I used to look up the name of a known walking street and then try to make sure I'd mastered all that was worth seeing by doing the perimeter including ended up spending hours on alleys that lead to nothingness (car coridors or residential areas of 0 interest at the edge of the area worth exploring)

Now, I just make sure I've walked the yellow blobs and I can be sure I've seen it all. It's a joy.

Way less FOMO at the end of my trips as well.
PCIe is packet-based and will retry, but typically the drivers for PCIe devices are not written to expect that e.g. accesses to its MMIO space take arbitrarily long times to complete, and the software above and around the driver (including the OS) can also be affected by such delays. Likewise, a device that's processing a continuous stream of data is going to overrun or underrun if its requests for interrupts or DMA get delayed due to retries caused by physical layer errors.
I normally do. But after spending enough time here I do see a pattern
If I had to do a lot of 6502 work today, I'd develop a custom language for it. Much like C is a custom language for the PDP-11 instruction set. C doesn't map very well onto the 6502, but customizing it would.

Good luck on your 6502 endeavor!
I described quite explicitly what the numbers looked like when I did a real analysis of the associated costs. The productivity gain required for that change to make sense is significant. There is no study that suggests the change would result in anything approaching the level of required productivity.

There’s a couple of people repeating several times ITT that private offices are proven to result in a 2-3x increase in productivity. There is no such study, and they’re most likely talking about the study that you posted in another comment that reports a measurement that is most certainly not productivity.

There is also no academic study of the “cut curb effect”. If you Google it, all you’ll find is a collection of thought leader style blogs that all reference the same few instances of accessibility features primarily implemented to benefit disabled people, that have been found to have a wider benefit for the general population. The outrageous claims about productivity ITT are entirely unfounded, and the fact that non-hearing impaired people also find closed captions useful sometimes doesn’t change that.

In reality this is just one of the topics that the HN user base seems to be passionately irrational about.

Perhaps he is talking about modularity - systemd is a bit all or nothing, it is a pluggable system yes but (AFAIK) it is not modular so you can't write arbitrary software and have it adhere to some standard, instead you have to use the systemd libraries and link against systemd calls.

So it is another layer on top of the kernel in that sense.

The old alt was to put the shell in charge and bash or sh talked to a bunch of random programs. Which is in some ways more modular but also a bit of a nightmare...

I'm not certain anything like that exists, you would have to define some data architecture almost, maybe involve hardware like ACPI and UEFI...

But that goes back to nobody basing their career over how a computer boots...overly complex. Maybe better just to improve systemd instead.
in CA if subcontractor or supplier don't get paid, even if there is an intermediate contractor layer[s], they still can put a lien on the property. I think it make sense to have a similar system for subcontractor employees to be able to go after the company which their labor was ultimately consumed by thus piercing the liability defense-in-depth layers made up of subcontractor company[ies] . That would make companies like Google to really care what kind of subcontractor they use similarly to how one takes great care choosing contractor for their property.
What was a 60 mhz Pentium system doing with a USB port? It certainly didn't come with one, as by the time USB was released in mid 1996 the FDIV pentiums had been recalled for a year and a half (December 1994). USB support on Windows didn't really get acceptable until windows 98 and even then it wasn't good, so I'm not surprised the USB Ethernet device didn't work out.
There is a nearby friends map, but it only works for people who have consented for Facebook to track their location 24/7.

I've played around with building an app that uses the Facebook API (and other social networks) to get people's current "Lives in" city, and location updates from recent posts, and aggregate them all in a map. I found it a bit hard to get this information from the APIs, and never had the time to figure out how to get it to work.
The idea is that you employ for your competency and value add, and outsource the rest. So core R&D should be in house headed by a VP of engineering, janitorial services can be outsourced not headed by a VP of cleaning the offices. In the early days, outsourcing wasn’t done, so janitors were included in those earlier Microsoft millionaires.

In a way it makes sense: you want to focus your effort on producing your product, not on the best way to clean your office. The company you outsource to can focus on that, where they make their own profit serving multiple companies. Sometimes you don’t have a choice (eg foreign companies in some countries have to contract with specific firms to do their security, they can’t have it in house).

The line gets blurry for jobs that approach the core competency of the company. So rather than janitors, should people doing grunt training classification be in house or not? Cases can be made either way, I guess. The outsourcing company probably can’t specialize in that, and they are just providing bodies at that point.

There are some weird rules about benefits that companies can only offer if they offer to all employees. So one tech company that doesn’t employ lots of its own warehouse staff (I’ll let you guess) can’t offer as good as health insurance as one that doesn’t.
Support doesn’t mean you get all the new features.

There are some feedback effects to acidification, one of which is that plankton will struggle. They absorb a lot of CO2.

Someone else pointed out that we can cause blooms. That's basically what you want, because plankton or algae sequester it. I don't know that we can "hack" that without risking damaging the oceans though. They're pretty good at what they do as is.

It is a gas exchange though, so heat and pressure have an impact. They're not great for marine life though. Surface area does as well, though it'd be hard to meaningfully change the ocean's surface area.

The bigger issue would be containment. The ocean is huge, and a very good CO2 sink. Anything that's going to make a significant dent in the total CO2 absorption of the ocean is going to have to happen over a very large area. Things aren't going to be much better if we sterilize the ocean in the process.
Hmm, I think they are licensing their data from TomTom. Not from OSM.
I’d concur with your assessment of British management culture and the class reasons for why it occurs. Ironically this kind of thing is also the reason why the U.K. has never produced a peer to any of the FAANGs

Why would you care, though? An array is effectively a function that maps indices to values, so why not reuse the syntax? And it's not like Ada is the only one that made that choice - FORTRAN, BASIC, PL/I are some other examples.

If anything, I'd say that the missed opportunity was to make arrays compatible with function access types.
Is this this read-only? If not is there a way to run it as such? I'd like to try it on a database I have, but I can't risk changing anything.
I'm not super familiar with Apple Maps, but it's common to use a mix of data. OSM may provide the base, but Apple almost certainly has done their own search indexing and may be curating business info from other sources and user reports.

Or they may be using OSM in some places and other sources in other places.

It's not theft. It's fraud.

Framing the action of defrauding a person as a downstream effect of being a victim of theft, is nothing short of institutionalised victim blaming. No, just no. The person was defrauded because of stolen identity and/or payment info documents. They were not a "victim of theft": they were a target of fraud.

Calling it theft is a sleight of hand to absolve banks, payment providers and businesses from their responsibilities.

A possibly silly question about JSON Schema:

What’s with the emphasis on full URLs to describe where to find related schema? Are developers really assembling a bunch of related schema over the Internet instead of just coalescing them in one place for local use?

Maybe I just don’t understand the use case. Why would I ever want to make a client do a bunch of calls to URLs I don’t own rather than serving them up reliably and consistently at one time?

It feels to me like the idea is some utopia where independent resources everywhere provide schemas and you can start stitching them together. But it just feels… unrealistic and not what I’d actually want.

Is this actively realized today? Or does everyone just reference local schemas by relative file path like I do?
Well, no matter what you won’t be explaining multivariable calculus to a children. Concepts build on each other and for certain ones, you do have to build from something. You can start teaching math, and indeed for certain topics, taking shortcuts is allowable. But this is context-dependent and not universally true.

Like, you can talk about programming to a child, but still not about JIT compilation.
