We use http://geojson.io/ regularly do convert data formats, inspect *.geojson files or other map related work. All inside the browser. It's open source, still maintained but IMHO reached a stage where it had to become a commerical, optionated, supported product. Or rather a different product like Placemark to fill the niche. Too many users had different use cases for geojson.io, sharing files with others is cumbersome and some features on the wishlist are super complex to build.

During testing I was able to load a 40.000 points data file (large cities and some attributes like name, elevation) into Placemark and browse around, search, filter, add new points fine. It's a powerful tool. The monthly pricing likely only attract users in the geospatial industry and companies so hopefully the marketed is big enough to generate enough revenue. I'm looking forward to some kind of CLI tool or API to auto-upload/download files to fit our workflow at some point.
I have read literally thousands of science fiction and fantasy books. Something I enjoy is watching the film or TV show versions of a book I had read before — I get to enjoy the same story twice in two different ways. I’ve heard many people complain about such adaptations because it didn’t match what they were visualising while reading the novel. For me this is not a problem so I get more enjoyment out of adaptations.

Even while reading, for me the joy is not about picturing any specific image or scene. It’s about the feeling of immersion in a world. I love stories where I can a idea of what living in that context would feel like. This is an abstract notion without any specific visualisation.

Not everyone can do this, and I think they’re missing out. I can “step into” the shoes of someone and look at the world through their eyes, see their perspective, and feel what they feel. My partner can’t, for example. She just stares blankly at the news about the war in Ukraine. It means nothing to her past the visuals. Burnt out cars, damaged buildings, etc…

I instead “see” the terror, the sleepless nights, the unmaking of everything you have built and the destruction of your children’s future. I imagine hiding in a dark tunnel clutching a heavy gun cold from the winter air, listening to your own breathing — too loud — and hoping you’ll hear the Russians’ footsteps before they hear you. But there’s too many of them, and there’s just you and this antique weapon defending you neighbours.
I can find some enjoyment in books that do not overly rely on visual imagery. I quite enjoyed the Martian because it focused so much on the character’s thoughts and the state of the character’s mind. I enjoyed the first three the Expanse books because of the political world building and character development. Though watching the TV adaptation added a new layer to the story as it could fill out the visual gaps, so to speak, of my reading experience.

But I find myself being drawn in to movies and TV shows as they can render entirely new visual worlds that are unlike anything I can experience on my own. I guess this is also why I don’t mind movie and TV adaptations so much.
As long as you keep your old tool chains and old dependencies etc etc
Only because the default these days is to treat warnings as errors. That code compiles fine with even modern gcc and clang with the -w flag which ignores warnings.
Yes, that is good advice.

I actually have told my friends and family about my experiments with tulpamancy. I told my parents a few months after my tulpa became 'vocal' and I warned my close friends before I started to keep an eye on me and let me know if I started acting delusional or my personality started to shift.
Tbf in a lot of cases you can use decision problems to solve, say, optimization problems with only polynomial slowdown. Hence their appeal.

Can confirm, I'm really fucking weird.
> Maybe great for devs

I find them horrible from the dev side too. Canonical gate keeps you from publishing your app. Their patches to system components to make snaps work break stuff. Their stack to build snaps like multipassd is buggy beyond belief and adds another daemon i never asked for.

As many problems as AppImages have, they're probably the least insane solution. And AppImages are quite insane, so that sais something about linux packaging.
Oh, thanks. I guess I judged too quickly.
I have a Pixel 3a and an iPhone SE both of which I use on the daily: the iPhone on my person and the Pixel installed in my car. I can confidently say that Android is written by a technologically inferior race of extraterrestrials who hate humans and want them to suffer. Sometimes it is so busy recompiling JAR files, or whatever the hell it is doing, that it fails to ring for incoming calls. It is 50/50 chance whether it will hook up to Android Auto by itself, or whether I'll have to unplug it and plug it back in. It gobbles so much power at idle that even if I switch it off the battery will be dead in a week. When I power cycle it, it's a solid 5 minutes before it is responsive.

I'm pretty sure what you say is true, but I think it only runs in one direction: Android users who are ignorant of iOS.
Or it the calculations were easy for you.
This is in no sense a GPU. It's a frame buffer, and it's easier to design a frame buffer with boolean algebra and raw gates than with godawful C++.

It's kind of sad how much work programmers create for themselves when they don't understand logic design.

> Just don't search how many people die due to lack of healthcare or how many people freeze to death(mostly homeless ...

Do you have proof that there would be less of these without capitalism. If anything the homeless population has increased in the USA as the market has become more regulated, so I don't see the proof that more capitalism produces more homelessness.

> >What country society do you have in mind? I'm genuinely curious.

> I really don't know

I think you should inform yourself a little bit more before claiming something and then coming empty handed when specific examples are asked. The capitalism you're thinking of exists mostly in your imagination if you can't provide examples.
Yes, with the benefit of hindsight you could say that most things are probably not worth anyone's time. If only we could see 20 years into the future to know which ones aren't, then that would save us all some time right now.

Or you could take another outlook and just accept that the work involved in sustaining any community is ongoing and it never ends, no matter how hard you try.
And if you were to talk about a 45 year old today living another 45 years… it’s not a crazy idea to think longevity interventions will improve during those 45 years, pushing things out even further.
I'm familiar with the history of that but I also 75% blame microsoft for having a windows default setting to execute as the current user, any .exe binary that's specified in the autorun.inf file in the root of a CD or DVD-ROM, when inserted into the computer (in the windows 98SE/millennium/2000 era).

same issue that was still biting the US military in the ass 6, 7, 8 years later they learned that any usb flash drive inserted into a computer would autorun the binaries on it, and they resorted to putting hot glue into the USB ports of desktop PCs as a stopgap measure.
How to pull images from satellites in orbit
No. SWE minus CS is…pretty basic stuff. Trivially easy to self study for. Could likely be a single class. (Smart) Bootcamp grads are regularly taught enough to be productive in a few months time. Spending four years to get a degree in something that could be covered in one elective?
Following that there does not exist an energy source that is zero carbon dioxide emissions. Just mining iron cost a lot of energy, pollutes the environment and cost a lot of energy. All current built wind and solar panels that include steel are built using processes that burn fossil fuel. If we look at plastic used in those the picture get even worse.
Most people do have savings considerably less than a years income.

But there are no people, only Disney.

It’s like how the City of London allows corporations to vote.

It doesn’t have any residents, so the companies doing business there vote on candidates.

Except because America doesn’t allow corporations to vote, there will be two counties with no electors.

I have no idea how that will work.

I’m not saying the Reedy Creek arrangement is ideal. The alternative is probably direct government by the State.
I can still run 20+ year old demoscene binaries on Windows and WINE. Linux binaries from that period still work, as well.
But we cannot observe Hawking radiation without having, on hand, a black hole small enough to be hotter than the CMB -- or that can be enclosed and protected from it, and the enclosure itself cooled below it, and in a vacuum so hard as not to any have atoms to fall in.

> and ask about the management and leadership philosophy when you interview!

Is this really useful though. They will always tell you what you want to hear, just like you say what they want to hear.

> I struggle to see the wisdom in setting goals for an employee's promotion without the intention of rewarding them for working hard to meet those goals.

Because low level managers don't really have the power to grant that promotion and are not in position to properly explain why they lost out the promotion to a peer from another team. There are a whole of unspoken things that factor into a promotion like gaining favor by pumping your manager/VP by giving them credit publicly, thanking them for their support ect.
> purely out of greed

People want to collect interest on their bank deposits purely out of greed, too.
It’s not either-or. You’re not in a healthy relationship if one of the partners is “the boss.”

Notable exception would be the TV show “Who’s the Boss”
He probably also likes money. In my experience "has money" doesn't equal "can't be corrupt", to tie this back up a few levels in the thread.
Hoping they do a larger study. The methodology is a bit weird though; they change the colour of the screen right when they tell people to imagine stuff. Surely that would only make the effect of imagining harder to pick out? The aphantasia and control graphs also look very similar to my eye, and they didn't show them side by side or anything (though I might have missed it as I only skimmed).
These small, risky, and ineffective raids (in the large scheme of things) have huge a psychological impact on the winners and losers if they are publicized.

The Doolittle Raid (https://www.history.navy.mil/browse-by-topic/wars-conflicts-...) was one such raid. The U.S. played it to the hilt. Japan couldn't ignore it or cover it up because it took place right over Tokyo.

The Belgorod Raid (https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2022/4/1/russia-alleges-ukrai...) was a huge PR victory for Ukraine, showing its helicopters are capable of striking behind enemy lines. I'm not sure ordinary Russians were as awed, or even if they were made aware of what happened.
Ask HN: How do you feel about Chrome becoming a browser monopoly?

I was really upset when I ran into this problem with Docker. Like, I thought the whole point of virtualization was that, no matter how old it is, it will Just Work, so long as the virtualization software works, and it has enough resources. It’s supposed to sidestep the problem having to constantly patch everything that might have changed since.

Then one day, our startup brought some new employees on, who read the README and ran the indicated Docker command … and it failed with a mysterious bug requiring dev resources to debug! The exact thing you try to avoid by freezing the machine environment.

It turned out that Docker had silently pushed a backward-incompatible change in the format of docker-compose YAML files.
(1988)

> This article was first published as "‘PostScript’ prints anything: a case history." It appeared in the May 1988 issue of IEEE Spectrum. […] The diagrams and photographs appeared in the original print version.

So the article is from 1988, except for the update at the bottom:

> Update April 2022: While most home and office printers rely on other page description languages these days, PostScript remains the choice of graphics artists and commercial printers for its ability to accurately produce complex images. And the ubiquitous Portable Document Format (PDF) is based on PostScript.
This would have been way quicker in OpenSCAD.

Blender is already great in terms of theoretical features, speed, cross-platform. However, IMHO whenever you reach a real world professional use case lying outside of animation or basic modeling (eg. architecture, CAD, CAM, etc.) its interfaces to industry standard file formats are without exception somewhere between poor to nonexistant. When I say industry standard I mean things like DWG, DXF, elevation diagrams in PDF, whatever.

The main effort to resolve this I am aware of is BlenderBIM https://blenderbim.org/features.html which uses IfcOpenShell https://github.com/IfcOpenShell/IfcOpenShell/ for vector and drawing output and would definitely be the right place for the developer of this extension to look for allies in building out export-to-drawing support.
It seems a lot of people are responding to this from the 'allowable speech' and 'consensus is bad' perspective, which triggers the inevitable 'its a private platform' or 'its just one place' response.

We should be looking at this from a threat model perspective. That certain subjects, at certain times, are subject to coordinated threats in order to gain power to those coordinating them. This isn't about 'scientific consensus', this is a known set of threat actors following a known playbook to spread FUD, 'flood the zone with shit', etc, for known reasons.

Any human effort at scale is going to be subject to some amount of threat noise trying to get in the way of signal. We overcome these with institutional antibodies, things like practices and protocols and checks and balances (hopefully made transparent). We try to lower the noise floor so that the quality stuff is encouraged and sticks around.

I feel like a lot of complaints fall back to unrealistic idealism because they don't have the insight on what the decision making apparatus is, where it is empowered and where it is limited, and how decisions were reached. That's a problem, but arguing that threats shouldn't be addressed is not the solution, because we already know how that plays out in institutions, communities, and societies. They fall apart.
Ouzo Effect
But that is not running, hiking, or snowboarding. What you are talking about is making maps and writing reviews. They are related, but are not the thing the enthusiast enjoys.
Even the smallest sort of COP or FOB is very obvious where it is - you aren't going to disguise any concrete t-walls, rows of stacked HESCO bastion, perimeter guard towers, etc.

it's a whole construction project to erect one, anybody that lives in the area or has access to half-decent aerial photography is going to know fully where/what it is.

putting up a big-ass tower with a flat microwave receiver array aimed somewhere towards the horizon is going to be even more obvious than ground mount solar.
True - this is why it's important to structure your questions in a way that makes it harder to BS - same as when interviewing someone, ask about specific instances of things.

It's been a while since I've been a candidate, so I kinda winged it in the above comment, but if you want to be balsy (and why not!) you can ask something like "Can you tell me about the last time you had to give negative performance feedback?" You might want to preface such a question a bit to qualify your reasons for asking it, but that sort of thing is not easy to BS.
The .tgz has never failed me across various distros and time.
But that “magic” is because of legal arrangement only Disney has.

At the least, aren’t there anti trust issues here? If other investors wanted to create a Disneyworld like park - they couldn’t.

At the very least they’d have to spend lots of time and money getting zoning approval.
Tesla's p/e ratio for the last quarter annulized is 85. For a company growing revenue 80% annually and profits even faster.
Opiod-related ODs have increased as the market has become more regulated and since the war against poverty started. I don't see evidence of these being caused by capitalism, if anything I see a correlation with socialism.
Sadly, very true. Only to make the interviewer feel superior on things they have seen multiple times more than anyone else.
Most people miss the fact that the fdic caps savings rates. Currently 0.81%.
No, I did not. I am running the Fairphone, which is guaranteed to be updated for 7 years.
>But it has far to go before reaching XMPP's levels of achievement - millions of XMPP-connected users via Google Talk, and popular products such as WhatsApp and Zoom built on top of it. That many of these aren't, or are no longer, interested in interoperability or federation is not a protocol problem, and I don't see Matrix solving that.

But these aren't the protocol's achievements either. These people have so much money they could make IRC popular.
I got no visuals and no voice. Its dark and quiet on my head.
I found out not all people are like that in my early 40s and to be honest felt like I missed out. I do dream visually, but rarely able to recall dreams, and I did experience visuals on psychedelics in my 20s.

The one plus of seeing in concepts is that I can hold complex software systems in my head pretty easily and code always clicked with me very naturally. But I still am a bit jealous of those with special fx vision

I've often wondered if neutralising radioactive waste is a lesser technical challenge than fusion.
Why is this surprising? Overnight rates are still 0.25%, and 1-month bills are 0.46%. Online savings accounts are at 0.6-0.65% now and have not fallen below 0.5% the whole pandemic. The oddity is why they've not fallen to 0% before, but that is because there is an effective duration of savings which may have been shortening recently as rates rise.

As for brick-and-mortar banks still at 0%, going by their low-balance fees, 0.5% probably only covers their overhead, if that.
Every language has various peculiarities / weirdness, tons of it actually. If you use multiple languages you just get used to this. That is my case and I do not consider it weird. If you stick to 1 or 2 languages than sure - everything else seems weird.

>"they added OOP like string functions" - not sure / forgot what is official name for it but it is not unique to pascal.

Again we have totally different perspective on weirdness.

"... allow government to have full control and surveillance over their citizens."

This is hyperbole.

This suggestion is the logical next step of the part of GDPR where it says that citizens should be able to understand how automated decisions are made about theme and their data. This is about transparency for citizens, not governments dictating how algorithms should work.
Anecdotally I've only ever heard it discussed in the company of software developers
I want something similar but that has true validated id's, and separate person accounts and business accounts. Person accounts then would have taxation built in and UBI and mutual aid, and there'd be some algorithm that taxes and pays dividends based on how much you hodl and how much you utilize or transfer in a month, etc... essentially if your payment habits are that of a poor person you'd get more UBI if your spending habits are that of Elon Musk you'd pay taxes.

There'd also be a cap on how much your account could hold to basically bar billionaires and oligarchs from controlling the system. Maybe something like x amount times the average users' monthly income(transactions received).

Starting out it'd aim for like 500 million being a cap, and try to aim to keep some sort of stable price as well. Business accounts wouldn't have the caps because I mean a huge company like walmart has tons of money come in for payroll, etc.. and just there'd be no way to really handle that, and you want businesses to accept the currency as utilization is everything.

I think possibly having a dedicated exchange built in as well that basically floods the market with new dollars if stability starts to fade. Say the price of a coin is $10 usd, it would autotax the top 50% of earners and redistribute that to the bottom 50%, or something similar or mint new currency and distribute from that -- essentially to encourage prices to remain stable.

Now combine that w/ all the other features of something like urbit os, and I think you've got something.

TLDR: Imagine if as a US citizen you were born with an id and a bank account tied to that id. It's the only bank account you can have, it's the only bank. Now imagine there's a cap to that account and every billionaire ceases to exist because they'd be taxed at 100% until they're max holdings are 500 million. You can't hide money, or get separate accounts, etc... There are no loopholes as it's all by smart contract.
I mean, every other IM software is an alternative. The point is that how do you get everyone on the same platform.
