This is really sweet, awesome work. I really love onthegomap too.

I maintain an openmaptiles pipeline, and we've got our planet runtimes down to about ~4 days on AWS.

Would be excited to see if we could use this tool, but we really heavily depend on PostGIS data manipulation to ensure that the data we want ends up in our output tiles. How difficult do you think migrating this SQL to your tool would be? It seems like you can support modifying the data fairly heavily, both before and after MBtile creation.

Reflect is a cool name, but nearly impossible to Google.
Guess it depends on your own reason and interpretation then, and we all have an excuse to fall back to our existing biases and pre-chosen sides.
I think there is something else that I find hard to explain, but it stems from the same vein.

The best way I can call it is the impedence mismatch between what business people imagine and envision, and what the real products, their code, their systems are actually doing and are actually designed to do.

It creates a kind of cost explosion in the velocity needed and it is often solved by throwing more developers at it instead of rethinking the actual design of the products so that they can better grow to support additional use cases and scale.

You can't totally call it a hack, but it kind of is. A system was designed in a way that doesn't scale to the user demand and to the additional features or the new abstractions that it wants to grow into. Instead of rethinking holistically about how that system should be re-designed to now encompass all of this new stuff, and then put the work into changing it from its current model to that new one. What people do is they break up the current system in two, so now you have two service where you had one before. And now they hire a new team of engineers, manager, PM, etc. to start working on this new half. This repeats again where each of those two half are split in half again, hiring a new team, now there are four teams and four service, etc.

As that happens, you can no longer redesign the way the systems fundamentally work, so each team accrues more and more complicated workarounds on their individual pieces and all new feature becomes cross team projects where you now need someone to coordinate the work between all teams for each little project.

Once you start down this path, there is no way out, the only solution becomes throwing even more teams at it, breaking things down again and again into smaller pieces with a whole team behind it as each piece becomes more and more complex to all work around the inherent holistic limitations that were never reconsidered.

It's a vicious cycle, the piece cannot grow in it's current state because it is too complex, break it up, have two teams tackle each half, now they can take the complexity until they themselves add more stuff to it which makes them too complex once more, break it again, add another team, rinse and repeat.

The issue is often that complexity is accidental, due to the design in place and the tech dept accrued till now, as opposed to being inherent to the domain problem. But instead of addressing the accidental complexity, it is simply broken down in two so we can throw more people behind taming it.

I wonder about games, and sadly this website doesn't list any.

I want a new laptop and those new M1 MBPs look interesting, with low TDP high performance. I primarily use it for development and browsing when I'm not home (I have a family overseas), but I also want to play games now and then.

I know Steam has native ARM support and some games I play are ported as well, but I really wonder how much can I get from double translation layers (x86 to ARM + Wine or derivatives).
I hope I didn't come across as though I was criticizing at all. I meant to point out that having 50 engineers build something today means something different than it would have a decade ago, although in retrospect my age/career are getting away from me and 15-20 years ago would have been a much better example.

I should emphasize that the accomplishment is incredible, regardless of how much we outsource things today. I know you didn't outsource crucial talent or the ability to deliver a good core product; you can't do that as far as I know.

I apologize if it seemed like I was putting down the accomplishment. I'm only meaning to reflect on how much more technical and infrastructure work happens outside of our teams these days than it has in the past. Perhaps though it isn't how much _more_ happens, but how _different_ what happens is. Building these products has changed a lot in some ways.

Edit: Also thanks for overview, that was a cool cursory look at how you operated.
I was more into Sesame Street but the Spider-Man segment was the one reason I watched the Electric Company.
Yup agree with this completely. You'll see the issue of disassembling a battery pack, basically don't do it unless you know what you are doing.

I saw a Nissan Leaf get a battery back replacement at the dealer. The adjacent bays were closed off as well. When asked the reply was something about the high voltage has killed 1-2 techs and now Nissan mandates they close of the bays during a battery pack swap.

on the flipside, like with my Facebook account, i hold and use it purely so that i can control what other people say about me and so i can stop them tagging me in photos, and i can track what information the network has on me. but I'm never going to engage on the site, and I'm sure as hell never going to speak or share my true opinions on there or ever link them to my true name. here on hacker news i try to politely limit myself to certain topics and positions.

in my country (Australia), there's some irony that i think our biggest problem with "foreign influence" isn't Russian or Chinese troll accounts, but genuine American accounts, media and American social media companies talking absolute crap and spreading the general phenomenon and quality of American politics worldwide. anonymity and Russian trolls aren't the problem when your mainstream spread so much FUD worldwide and largely serves the same purpose as those trolls but in a "legitimate" form. American media has far more reach, both in absolute power, influence and damage, than any subtle espionage agent or internet troll, and its personalities and commenters are happy to use their real names because their medium of influence is "legitimate" and they're commercially/socially rewarded for doing so. It seems, given the state of things, that the obsession with "Russian trolls and foreign actors" is prima facie absurd, and the limited influence they actually have compared to the elimination of sane discussion or valid analysis and criticism that will similarly be removed if forced to link back to real identification is something that should be considered in any cost benefit, as well as their relative effect compared to the bullshit consumerism/ partisanship/culture-war/ racist/religious/lobbyists/violent material that's seen as somehow "legitimate".

Microsoft/Appple don't have nightlies. For systems as complex as that, it can take days just to land it in some dev feature branch, let alone get into into a production branch scheduled by product managers to deploy whenever.
Is it? How do they bill you without knowing how much data you transferred? How do they debug what went wrong with your connection without logs?

This stuff is barely scratching the surface of the data those companies collect and maintain, likely for long periods of time, just to analyze and improve customer experience.
I'm assuming he landed somewhere after the search that his bosses had logs for, like maybe a bio page on some .mil domain. Back in the 2000's, you still got a referrer header that included not just "google.com", but also the search query parameters.

So if you followed https://www.google.com/search?q=my+asshole+boss+joe+schmoe to get to the .mil hosted bio page, they got to see that.
Rail subsidy per person

UK: €64

France: €203

Germany: €209

The UK makes a conscious decision not to subsidise its rail network to the extent of France and Germany. I'd rather we had spent the last 40 years building high speed lines, but as a country we didn't want that.

My list would be

* HS2 as now planned, extended up the east coast to Edinburgh, Glasgow and Aberdeen

* Plymouth -> Exeter -> Bristol -> Birmingham -> Cambridge -> Norwich

* Swansea->Cardiff->Bristol->London

* Liverpool-Manchester-Leeds-Hull

With junctions to allow services to run as appropriate for demand (e.g. Swansea-Cardiff-Bristol-Birmingham once an hour, continuing to Manchester or Leeds, Swansea-Cardiff-Bristol-London twice an hour, Liverpool-Manchester-Leeds-Newcastle-Edinburgh, etc)

Had we done that we'd have the capacity to offer cut price, but alas we didn't.

As it stands, trains - especially cross country ones - are massively crowded even with the price as high as it is, because people prefer to take a dog-slow overcrowded train from Reading to Manchester, rather than to take a cheaper coach.
I am really skeptical about the purported efficacy of any tv program to teach kids how to read. I think learning to read comes from actual reading.
Am I the only one that's really excited about Universal Control? If nothing else, it's extremely impressive from an engineering perspective (if it works as seamlessly as they make it seem). To be able to take your work from your iPad to your iMac like that would be pretty incredible.
I think it's a veiled reference to traditional college?
Seems like a good political move though, now the courts actually have to make the administration stop and get all the negative heat from putting people on the street. I mean the supreme law of the land let an order they believed was unconstitutional stand because of their personal moral imperatives and empathy toward renters. Is it really that crazy to shoot your shot and see if they do it again? Like the whole situation is nuts — “I think this is unconstitutional but I’m not going to say so because the law is gonna expire soon.” If that’s really the case then you could rule the other way with a clear conscience since it’s only a few days. Taking a bet that it was a bluff with little downsides if your wrong seems like a no brainer.

And the administration gets to say they did all they could and it’s up to congress now.
If it is your work machine than you probably shouldn't upgrade right away, give it a week or two (esp. if you work with old/outdated dependencies or packages). For personal machines I would be less cautious.
In civil law countries (after Brexit, 100% of EU is civil law) generally you can't change your name at will or by simply starting to use it, it usually requires asserting one of specific reasons that (in the eyes of the law) justify a name change, a request to authorities and their approval - which would be denied if you wanted to change your name to something that has 2^40 characters.

If you did officially change your name to something interesting, I presume the bank would definitely have to accommodate it; but the restrictive part would be the process of actually changing your name.
I'm extremely skeptical of bootcamps, especially after learning that some of the TA's at Lambda are hired to help with teaching as little as two months into the program as students[0]. I guess that counts toward their "placement" stats!

Not only that, but Lambda seems so desperate that they will offer a fresh grad at no cost to any company for a 4 week trial period. [1]

I don't think I've seen a single hire out of a bootcamp work out in the end. Except a few cases where the person actually came from a STEM degree from a good school (and more crucially, already had some exposure to programming during the degree) but it's unclear to me that they actually needed the bootcamp and not just a good primer on modern software development and something like the Missing Semester [2] or a few classes at their school covering software engineering.

High Sierra for me, since it's the latest that would've been able to run any recent NVIDIA GPUs (assuming NVIDIA stayed dedicated to releasing Web Drivers).
The go to reaction is to complain about how bad his diet must be. It's obviously not the best diet, but I doubt it's any different than what a lot of office workers grabbing their meals in food courts end up having, and it's a lot cheaper. The real problem is its only feasible if you live right by the Six Flags, which is I suspect why they can offer this.

It reminds me of the story of the guy who bought a refundable business class plane ticket so he could eat all his meals in the lounge and kept changing the ticket. He was caught eventually though.

I agree we seem to have lost empathy. I think the thing the pseudonymous internet provides is lack of consequences for incivility. People will say far more hateful things in a FB post than they would to another human two feet away who can yell back. Same things happens in a car, yelling and screaming that we wouldn't do in person. We would just walk away and talk about the infringer behind their backs. However, that time and space is also a release valve; we move on and get back to life. In an online forum, it is non-stop and ever escalating. Truly anonymous or not doesn't seem to be the key. Most people in our social circle would probably agree with any bad take we had anyway. We've given everyone a microphone and everyone just screams over each other. And worse, we've made it infinitely profitable for companies to run the sound system on high. There is no easy path out of it as long as dissent prints cash.
It would suck if you were interested in the Polish efforts to decrypt enigma and you searched for 'bombe' but you get redirected via the spelling correction feature into government surveillance. How likely would a spelling correction get you swept up in this?
> Well, I think "can this be held in memory" can be a stupid question.

absolutely not. questions like that give you a baseline for idealized performance. not that you should ever expect to reach it, but it does give a good sanity check for whether or not a technology choice is a sane one.

i've seen cassandra clusters used for datasets that would fit in a sqlite (with indexes!) in a ramdisk on a cheap laptop.

so yes, scale problems go both ways. and to your point, the "difficult" problems aren't harder necessarily, often just those that you (and your team) don't know how to solve.
‘Free Download Manager’ Removes YouTube Support After Google Complaint
The numbers I’ve seen quoted are in the neighborhood of 20-30 percent, but that’s only really for cold weather. Tesla batteries are actively cooled, so there shouldn’t be a significant performance decrease other than the power draw from the AC unit in the cabin.

Even if there were a 50% loss in efficiency the car should still be able to travel over 150 miles, the notion that the weather would drop the range to less than 80 miles is absurd.
> primarily in the Kind David hotel bombing

Not a good look when your first example is completely nonsensical. Israel didn't exist as an entity at the time of the King David hotel bombing. It also was not a false flag operation. It was carried out by a Jewish group who immediately claimed responsibility for it and apologized for the deaths of the Jews who had been killed. The fact that the perpetrators dressed as non-jews to carry out the attack does not make it a false flag attack.

> Lavon Affair

That one was actually a false flag operation carried out by Israel, so at least you get 1 of 2.

> These were intelligence agents spying on activities during a war between Israel and Egypt, Jordan and Syria, and they were told, no ordered, to keep their mouths shut about the incident. Their first hand knowledge cannot be so blithely and casually dismissed.

Mostly they were sailors, and their first hand knowledge was getting shot at. That's it.

> Regardless of your ad hominem attack

Nothing I said can be construed as an ad hominem attack on the survivors.

> not only do the yet still classified and unreleased NSA tapes exist that will one day confirm, but more recently declassified Israeli cables that support the statement that Israel knew it was American and wanted to sink it on purpose:

Passing over the unsupported claims about what the NSA tapes may show, which you obviously don't actually know, none of this supports the false flag claim--only the deliberate attack claim.

> according to the book Operation Cyanide: Why the Bombing of the USS Liberty Nearly Caused World War III [2], " at 8:45 a.m. EDT (2:45 p.m. off the coast of the Sinai Peninsula) on June 8, 1967 two A-4 bomber aircraft loaded with nuclear bombs were dispatched from the aircraft carrier USS America, bound for Cairo with orders to drop those bombs on that city."

This also doesn't support the false flag claim, since it only speaks to the US reaction to the incident, not Israel's motive.

In summary, you have presented no evidence that supports the false flag claim.

> As for your comment about UAT liberty transport vessel, the actual relevant tidbit to the original post, it was a different vessel altogether... which I didn't know, and hence me even bringing this topic up in the first place.

Sorry, I misread that. That's on me.
> Moana scene (https://www.disneyanimation.com/resources/moana-island-scene...) is 131 GBs of RAM for example. It literally wouldn't fit on the M1 Max. And that's a 2016-era movie, more modern movies will use even more space. The amount of RAM modern 3d artists need is ridiculous!!

I doubt there was any laptop available in 2016 that could be loaded with enough RAM to handle those Moana scenes. I doubt such beasts exist in 2021.

It seems the M1s are showing that Apple can just increase the number of cores and memory interfaces to beef up the performance. While there's obviously practical limits to such horizontal scaling, a theoretical M1 Pro Max Plus for a Mac Pro could have another doubling of memory interfaces (over the Mac) or add in an interconnect to do multi-socket configurations.

That's all just horizontal scaling before new cores or a smaller node process becomes available. A 3NM process could get roughly double the current M1 Max circuitry into the same footprint as today's Max.
Blackrock CEO Larry Fink: The next 1k $1B startups will be in climate tech
Definitely thinking about this stuff, but we're being very careful about what we're incentivizing. Tying income with pageviews on a specific story leads to clickbait and "7 celebs without makeup" kinds of stories. We want the app to be where people choose to go for news, not just clicking via social or aggregators.

I think Firewire was a smart choice when launching to Mac users first, since USB1 was so slow, USB2 was still very new, and all new Macs had Firewire ports. That said, opening the door to Windows later on was absolutely the key to the popularity explosion, but by that time many more Windows machines also had USB2 ports for fast syncing.
Ah wonderful. I misunderstood "focus status" to mean the actual name of your focus was displayed, rather the generic "Evan has notifications silenced" message. Thank you for the clarification!

As to what notifications have been helpful: I ended up making Reading and Listening focuses to make personal stuff like reading and podcasting more enjoyable. Then for work I separated out Communicating (email, slack, asana, collaborative docs) from Coding (everything off) as it seemed those had quite different notification needs.
> SCOTUS wrote words clearly indicating a ban would be illegal. By a technicality (expiration date), they didn't issue an explicit ruling. Biden did it anyway, while admitting he knew it was illegal.

SCOTUS said the moratorium exceeded the CDC's legal authority, but declined to strike it down given it was soon expiring [1]. (They also strongly suggested that if POTUS tried renewing, they would strike it down.) POTUS tried renewing. SCOTUS struck it down.

None of this is properly construed as POTUS ignoring SCOTUS. When SCOTUS struck down the law, POTUS obliged.

If this is your metric for what should involve government, then my guess you do not support the idea of Limited Government at all.

See when I talk about threats to other, I am talking about direct, articulable threats, not second or third order events that may have an impact under some circumstances

When I say the government has an ethical mandate to protect me from others, I mean protect me from physically assaulting me, from stealing my property, etc.

Not generalized adverse effects that may happen latter down the road if enough other people also happen to do the same thing.

"The law is the organization of the natural right of lawful defense. It is the substitution of a common force for individual forces. And this common force is to do only what the individual forces have a natural and lawful right to do: to protect persons, liberties, and properties; to maintain the right of each, and to cause justice to reign over us all. " -- Frédéric Bastiat
