I have to wonder -- considering that H3 is apparently available as a C library -- how fast it would be to simply enrich the lon/lat data with H3 data using a simple Unix filter using that C library before even importing it anywhere.

(One also wonders if the column-based database doesn't "cheat" when doing operations of the type "make a new table by adding new columns", since it could in principle COW-reuse all the unchanged columns in memory on that 70-second query.)
I understand the API will change, but will the JSON representation in such a way that it's not safe to use currently? I don't mind a bug here and there, but it would be quite serious not to be able to use old content with a new version of the editor.

ok, i think i went off half cocked here and read more into your earlier post than i should have. it sounds like you take issue with a particular implementation rather than the core concept, which is of course reasonable.

PCB routing is generally considered a much harder problem. There are a bunch of reasons that add up, but one of them is almost certainly that a PCB is supposed to look good too. The routing on an IC is total chaos (which actually reduces crosstalk issues), but nobody will ever notice.

Or the people who are.. constantly reminded of the ignorance around them. Consider that people who are actually called Eskimo by others, might hear this more often than someone who doesn't look the part.

Frequency really changes the game here. Everybody who had a little brother will know: someone saying something annoying to you once is easy to shake off, someone who saying the same annoying thing to you constantly, day in and day out can be nervewrecking. Now imagine how much worse it is if the annoying thing comes from whole parts of society and every day. If you talk to people affected by such things (e.g. women by sexist remarks) the main thing that makes the difference is how frequent those things happen and my feeling is that many people can't even imagine.

It is nice to see that many people can not relate to this, because they had it easier, but confusing your own perspective with all shared reality is not an advantage.

Cloud providers have successfully redefined the baseline performance of a server in the minds of a lot of developers. Many people don't understand just how powerful (and at the same time cheap) a single physical machine can be when all they've used is shitty overpriced AWS instances, so no wonder they have no confidence in putting a standard RDBMS in there when anything above 4GB of RAM will cost you an arm and a leg, therefore they're looking for "magic" workarounds, which the business often accepts - it's easier to get them to pay lots of $$$$ for running a "web-scale" DB than paying the same amount for a Postgres instance, or God forbid, actually opting for a bare-metal server outside of the cloud.

In my career I've seen significant amount of time & effort being wasted on workarounds such as deferring very trivial tasks onto queues or building an insanely-distributed system where the proper solution would've been to throw more hardware at it (even expensive AWS instances would've been cost-effective if you count the amount of developer time spent working around the problem).
This is how the US Sarbanes–Oxley Act works. During giant accounting scandals in late 1990s / early 2000s, corps were using the onion approach with external vendors to cover-up shady/illegal practices. SOA basically says "no" to this now. We need the same for DMCA.

I work in enviroment where I rutinely have to connect to computers and access them over SMB1. On Windows 10 theres this new issue where its asking for username/password even for shares that have no password set, so theres no combination of username/password to grant me access. The only way to get around it (after many hours of googling) was to create new local user (on my win 10 client machine), and accessing the share works perfectly from there (as it did in windows 7). Still havent figured why or how this works, but yes: I am stuck with two account on my PC, one specifically just for accessing open SMB1 shares.

Robot picks up the whole thing using rubber bands representing the external ports and gives the whole thing a few shakes. Puts it all back down, goes over each metal plate and reads the bar code and resting position - that's your initial routing guess - anneal from there

Similar to sodium cooled reactors, there are also lead or lead-bismuth cooled reactors, which have had one real life deployment ( onboard the Soviet Alfa class submarines), with its own advantages and disadvantages, and there are proposals to develop new versions.

There's so much interesting nuclear-related tech and concepts we haven't fully explored because of nuclear FUD ( much of which would be solved by the new tech).
I don't think anyone is proposing removing the ability to not install with nonfree packages, merely whether the default should remain as it is.

Personally, while I would prefer to be able to change and replace the software running on the tiny computers that make up a modern system, focusing on the distinction between "the vendor shipped it on a flash chip so we don't have to think about it" and "we need to load it at runtime" seemed a bit like spending too much effort on too little reward, to me - if we convince the manufacturer to up the cost by a few cents to hide the firmware blob from us, is that really a victory for Free Software, simply because we don't have to think about it? (Particularly if it sometimes results in never having ready access to a mechanism to replace the firmware blob, should someone sufficiently motivated either convince them to Free it or develop a replacement?)

It's great whenever someone develops replacements bits or, even more rarely, convinces a company to release their firmware bits permissively, but without a list of examples of Debian's stance changing the policies of other organizations, I think it's not that effective a tool for changing behavior in this case, and instead primarily inconveniences people who want to use Debian.

Whether they end up changing the default behavior or not, people in this thread replying "wait, there are firmware-bundled images?" makes me think Debian should either stop making them or stop making them so unintuitive to discover.
Is BigQuery using on-demand or flat-pricing though? The number of slots available will considerably change the processing time.

In theory, self hosting works. I have my content self hosted. In this case, they sent a DMCA request to Google and they delisted my webpage from Google. 99% of my traffic simply dropped.

In addition, all Google properties picked up the DMCA action on Google index and started sending me warning and suspension of ads etc.

I have sent a detailed counter notice. But even after 12 days, I am yet to hear back from Google.

So self-hosting may work for Github, but not if you want presence in Google index.

Nuclear, like coal, was cost-effective until natural gas became really cheap. If we had pollution pricing all along we'd be slowly converting our infrastructure from nuclear to solar and wind over the coming decades; instead we're entirely reliant on natural gas.

This is all about day-1 production-run planning. But what about follow-on runs? The "weird thing" about Nintendo, to me, has always been how little "greater-than-expected demand" seems to influence the supply, even on a 6-month delay. A lot of Nintendo products sit around "sold out" on Amazon for months/years/forever, despite a thriving secondary market for those same products, often with scalpers now charging higher than MSRP for the products.

For example — Amiibo. Why don't Nintendo keep pumping out Amiibo figures until the volume swamps scalpers and people can actually buy the things for $10? It's not like they're trying to create a secondary market for collectors; they want to sell these things to kids, as practical toys, in volume. So where's the volume for the popular figures?

This is so clearly Nintendo's pattern, that it was a big shock to gaming journalists when Nintendo actually decided to restart production for the NES/SNES Classic. Why is something like that such an exception?
Wow, how did HackerRank end up hiring them? Incompetence all around.

This argument suggests that only nuclear waste has a long half-life. I suppose this is true if you require a half-life, but coal plants also produce heavy metal and ash waste that never decays.

Yes, I can see some partnership with an existing distro (something like « merge our drivers asap and you get preinstalled ») but IMO, the company behind Framework should focus on its strengths on the hardware design.

Furthermore, I think that, atm, their target market may be 95% of power users who will flash a usb stick with their favorite OS even before receiving the computer.

I agree. Being offended cannot be the means to creating a more inclusive society. In fact it has the opposite effect, dividing society though the lazy mechanism of the “you are either with us or against us” gambit.

Rather, being offended is the means for the offended people to feel power over others, and to achieve catharsis through anger. No wonder it’s called “Outrage porn”, as indeed there is a certain orgasmic quality to expressing one’s anger.

From my experience iPhones are as hard (or a bit easier) to open as other waterproofed phones, but battery and display replacements are actually prioritized in the design and easy to conduct once you open the thing. Cryptographically paired components are the problem with iphones, not the way they are built.

Basically, not sure how to interpret "sold 10 million cars".

2 scenarios come to mind:

1. Ferrari decrease their sale prices, thus they are more affordable for all, thus exerting price pressure on Fiat.

2. People somehow have a bucket more money and now buy Ferraris. But with all this money sloshing around, Fiat might as well up their prices because it'd make little difference on the end customers purchase decision.

In either case, the Ferrari and the Fiat are closer on price but the price pressure on Fiat varies. Curious to know your thoughts?

These are valid concerns to raise, but can be addressed. In actuality, the investors (which can also be the owners but not necessarily) provide the company with capital to purchase these planes. That, or the company uses its own profits to do so. Either way, the money is the property of the company, not the owners.

In the former (investor) case the payment can be structured as a loan, and/or investors can become stakeholders as part of a multi-stakeholder cooperative, with their own cut of the earnings. In the latter case it's no issue because the company is buying things with its own resources.
MySQL didn’t have transactions for years! A transaction layer can be implemented by adding a transaction table, a transaction column to each other table, and joining the two in your queries.

where table.transaction_id = transaction.id and transaction.committed = true

You would begin a transaction by inserting a new row and then updating it to committed when done.

With some metaprogramming you may be able to do this all transparently.
Can you explain why such large numbers are required?

Back-of-the-napkin maths is that a chip that is 3cm on each side -- which is huge -- can be subdivided into 0.007 nanometre increments using 32 bit integers. That's 1/7th of the diameter of a hydrogen atom!

The resolution with 64-bit floats (let alone integers) would be absurd, roughly a million times finer-grained still. That's probably enough to simulate individual electrons zipping around in their orbitals with acceptable precision.

Even if the simulation codes did something silly like simply assigning 1.0 = 1cm, a 64-bit float still allows resolutions of something like a billionth of a nanometre...
Yes, the government is quite inefficient, but infrastructure is a natural Monopoly. Privatization doesn't work here either. Germany tried and failed that.

Natural monopolies only lead to rent seeking when in private hands. You'll pay even more than for inefficient government action. There's no incentive for them to lower their prices either.

Privatization only works when you consider negative externalities and have a competitive market.

For something like this you need a working democratic oversight. The people have to be the incentive to make it work.
