You can enable the "Microsoft Earth" layer for sattelite imagery in OsmAnd, which is (at least in my region) even better than Google's. I have it set as the "underlay map", which means it's drawn on top of OSM background elements, but below roads, buildings and markings. It also gives you a slider right on the map view to adjust the opacity of the OSM elements so you can see just sattelite imagery when you need it or even set it to somewhere in between.

As for Street View, while I haven't looked into getting it into OsmAnd, Mapillary has an official plugin and while its coverage isn't really comparable, it does often have newer images and often saves me an app switch if I just need to see anything in a general area.
Precisely why the law should really say that making X affordable cars per year buys you right to sell 1 luxury car.

You actually want it more complicated than that, maybe something like for every dollar of affordability you sell (under $X), you earn the right to sell $0.10 worth of luxury.

> If you ARE a victim, then it's delusional not to feel as such.

Even if you are a victim, by adopting a "victimhood mindset" you inflict further harm upon yourself.

Probably the best book written on this is Viktor Frankl's "Man's Search for Meaning" in which he writes about his experience as a prisoner in a Nazi concentration camp.
I just tried it and at first I thought it really was just a figure eight with extra wrap (a bit like the figure of nine bend), I noticed the difference was not just the extra wrap but also that the working end is finally fed back into the loop from the bottom rather than from the top (as in figure of eight). That last piece I think result in a different final shape.
What is the "webcompat project"? I just tried googling for it and there were some articles about it, but no page I could submit.

I can say I recently found I couldn't make a new account at 'wise.com' in firefox (had to switch to chrome), and an internal university website doesn't work in Firefox -- but of course, I can't share that page publicly, so there's not a lot useful I can do with that.

Hah, I was thinking about how to share state from an background collector thread to the frontend thread and TripleBuffer is exactly the data structure I needed just now. Thanks!

(My C++-infested instinct was to just go "naw, just slap a mutex on the data, it'll be fiiiinee", but I already knew that Rust Probably Has A Better Way For That).
That's a scary and realistic future.

Any good (fiction or non-fiction) book on this? By "this" I mean governments trying to control overtly or secretly the use of computing resources. Bonus points if it is not Charlie Stross (I can't stand his writings).
You can easily put numbers on it, lots of polling data. But from your memory just look at how there are "red states" and "blue states" -- they clearly don't correspond to personal life trajectory in the way stated. Political attitudes very clearly reproduce as culture, like language.

I'm not giving examples just citing these popular phrases which exist to note the phenomenon.
> there are daunting engineering challenges involved in stabilizing a torus where the inboard legs of the magnet coils are subjected to extraordinarily high electromechanical stresses and overturning moments.

True, but MIT (and by extension CFS) has more experience with this than anyone. Their Alcator C-Mod had the strongest magnetic field of any tokamak. I got a tour of it once, and a grad student showed us a metal tie rod, about a meter long. He said they'd calculated that two of them could have held down the Space Shuttle when it was trying to launch. To keep the reactor from flying apart, they needed 38 of them.

> In any case, improving cost-effectiveness is surely a distraction for MCF research when there have been no advances in Q

Except smaller, cheaper reactors mean you can iterate experiments a lot faster.
I know. I was joking, too. Someone downvoted you, and I upvoted.

It's all good.
Because it is still very much up in the air if fusion is cost effective. If the price to build a plant is astronomical it can not make enough energy to pay for itself.

A better question is why we are not investing in solar, wind and hydrogen more.

There's no easy answer here short of governments forcing a browser ballot on new computers. Regular people just don't care enough if the web devolves into a monoculture. And businesses don't want to use standards when it's easier to just do whatever works in Blink.
Same. I'm to the point now I don't even use wifi at home or my family/friends house. I only pay for 100mbit/s at home (my local ISP charges too much for anything faster) which is the same or less than what I typically get on my phone so I see little reason to bother with wifi at all.
I just think it's journalism 101 to introduce the name properly the first time it's used. It detracts nothing to say "... I make sure to feed Orlando, my sourdough starter,..." in the first line.
In Newton's case, even if there were hints in existing literature available to him at the time of concepts like limit and derivative, which is arguable, he would still have had to connect all the dots and create a workable new mathematics largely on his own, which he did. What's also clear through the examples in his Principia, he was using his Calculus to solve problems no one had solved before.

So, no downvote here, but what's the point? Even if someone had previously invented the Calculus at some point in ancient history, they didn't do anything noteworthy with it, and/or, some catastrophe erased the evidence of their work. Does this in any way diminish Newton's invention?

Locally (as in, local maxima) I would agree. I can’t think of any whistle-blower who didn’t suffer major blowback, unless they remained anonymous.

Zoning laws also impair land values. So a mass upzoning of all properties across the city also immediately increases the potential land value and assessed tax revenue.

> It also sounds like what you're saying is that you can just avoid all these problems by having everything automated from day one, but that's not the reality in any employer I've ever worked for. Unless you're starting a company today and happen to have an experienced infrastructure engineer on staff from day one you're not getting that world

Certainly, it's hard to start it from day one. But it's not that difficult to move into it. If you have buy-in from your developer/operations team. We started with API and CLI calls for our beta version. Our next migration was to use partial Ansible control and we morph that into almost a monolith because of interconnected pieces that were typically required with this design. But it really didn't need to be a monolith, we just wanted to link things together and building a giant monolith was easier to make those references.

So we then split up into smaller Ansible playbooks, and we did lookups to create the linkage, which roughly broke the monolithic pattern and allowed us to do smaller deploys. But we still ran into breaking changes unexpectedly. So we decided to abandon the months of effort we put into Ansible and we started looking at terraform, because one of their salespeople promised our management team that it is cloud agnostic and we would only have to write once. After a week or two looking into that, we realized that we were basically just going to have to remake Ansible modules and we rarely weren't saving anything by migrating. Granted this was two and a half to three years ago. Things might have changed.

We then switch to SAM, and as we did that we extracted the Ansible side out of our deployment and we started redeploying brand new small SAM stacks, and started treating almost everything of our infrastructure as sheep instead of cattle, we completely redeployed our launch configurations our cluster are lambda functions, basically everything except the database, DNS, and the CDN with every deploy. This basically removed state is being an issue because the state is only needed for the first deploy, and we don't technically change the stacks afterwards since we simply replace them every time. For us, this also meant we could easily test and roll back if needed. Since we don't need to change the state of the stack back to its previous state, we simply changed the pointer to the previous stack, which typically was a DNS state change. But like I said, we focused on our states being only around DNS, etc. Which, almost isn't stateful, because our SAM deploys would insert zero weighted DNS records, and The state management is really just adjusting the weighted values.
> if you want example.com, type exam in the awesomebar and example.bar will show up in suggestions

I just tried it. I have example.com in my history, and typed "exam". Example.com is the second thing firefox suggests. Before it, is a duckduckgo image search result page for the query "botanist", with an image titled "Young Botanist Examines The Plants In A Greenhouse Stock Photo". Firefox is picking up the "exam" in "Examines" and puts that result before example.com.

I don't really care which is first, I just want one or the other to be consistently first.
Exactly. It's not like it's literal magic. It's just knowledge and resources, which should be getting more abundant and cheap, not scarce and expensive.

Tim Sweeney: Epic will fight Apple and Google to keep the metaverse open
Agreed. The American cultural conception of entrepreneurship includes delusion, failure, unethical behavior (recent TV series come to mind).

> and is now the most likely theory of the origin of Covid-19, like it or not

According to whom, if I may ask? It appeared to me that we know just as much about it as 2 years ago. That is to say, you can't assign a probability because there isn't really any data. But I didn't keep up with it, so I'm not sure.
》This “total” temperature can also be described as a sum of temperatures on coarse (large) scales, temperatures on finer scales, even finer scales, etc. On large scales we see the well-known climate changes. Albert Sneppen’s study documents that the temperature differences become stronger on small scales (credit: Albert Sneppen).

》In other words, climate change makes the differences in temperature grow locally — and with large temperature differences come even more extreme weather patterns.

Makes a lot of sense.
maybe contact him and suggest it.
Another downside of offset-based pagination is less consistent handling of data changes during pagination.

If any row is inserted anywhere before the page you requested, you'll see some other item twice (once at the end of the previous page, then again at the top of the next page). Similarly if any item was removed, you'll skip over some other item when paginating due to every page shifting by one.
So this statement then admits that there are differences in how people are treated and what they are able to do based on religion? No, race? Again, missing the mark?

Ahh, MONEY! Which is as made up as it gets. This person is worth more than that person because this computer says so and it has to be TRUE, or else society wouldn't work.

feeling like a victim and being a victim are different concepts. the latter is reality, the former is a feeling, and how you deal with it. to me feeling like a victim implies that i can't change my situation. which exactly means that i feel that i can't get away from the aggressor. in order to get away from that i need to not feel like a victim, but take responsibility to better my situation by getting away.

at least that is how i read the article.
Look for work on recovering shredded documents. You're talking about a simpler problem but in that domain, I think.

In essence it seems like something that video compression tools should make easier, but as its not the specific form they're often used for, "hardware acceleration" is probably not going to help and thus the processing may be a bit involved for a phone.

It'd be easier if you are just matching pieces (flip them over); just matching edge shapes is obviously less data. but you have the problem that many pieces may be identically shaped; which might not be a show stopper. "here's 3 places it could go" would be a result worth reporting.

However. This is a "take the point out of the process" kind of idea, it seems to me. Anyone who actually enjoys doing puzzles is going to feel this kind of thing would be cheating; and those who don't do puzzles aren't interested.
I was reading their list of coffee grinder recommendations. Some they recommend I got rid of years ago as they aren’t very good. It may be the case that they had a price ceiling, as the article mentions how costly grinders are, but it’s certainly dropped my opinion of Wirecutter.
Probably because it's not a solved problem that simply needs money to scale up?

If you think about it, you can't simply give money to JS developers to do fusion research instead of making HTML buttons for internal use.

Those who can work in the field already do but so far there's nothing to show in terms of practical solutions. They even receive fair bit of criticism for misrepresenting the outcomes of their work to get more funding. Every now and then a startup or something will come up to claim that they thought of something novel that will solve all of the problems and how the people who work in expensive government funded programs are amateurs with no creativity, then disappear in the valley of vaporware dreams.

Humanity is deeply invested in it, it's just that it's really hard.

Oh, BTW, We already have a reliable and extremely powerful nuclear fusion reactor in the sky. We can actually pour enormous amount of our resources into harnessing it and succeed but it is considered a divisive topic.
Grew up in a small, dying midwestern town. Most of my teachers were either burned out, severe alcoholics, or both. Most seemed absolutely defeated and did little besides the bare minimum. I had a guidance counselor that drank on the job and literally let students drop required courses for graduation. I had many teachers who were so petty and vindictive they would flat out lie about you to your parents just to see you punished even more.
> War in iraq? Why bother.

I guess we take as a given we were there for cynical oil based reasons?

The oil/gas doesn't cease to have value under sanctions, at worst it can all be consumed internally to drive their war machine. Climate change isn't driving Russia to desire Ukraine, it just does.

> Climate change? Let’s just not.

The government we are cynical of now has the power to control climate and our cynicism vanishes?
The Sit-Up Is Over
Some of them were really bad, a few were really great. One of my high-school history teachers was awesome, every class was like storytime, and it made the history interesting and relatable, most others were not as good. The drafting/machine shop teacher played Johnny Cash and let us explore and have fun, and I ended up learning more math in three years of drafting and CAD than any of the "real" math classes.

One of my elementary school math teachers became a middle school teacher, but ended up having a nervous breakdown and leaving halfway through the year.

A science teacher in middle school put me in detention practically every other day, for reasons from not doing my homework to "not supporting the troops" or calling a kid who was ranting about how "we need to start slaughtering all the ragheads" a bigot.
This was a fun read for really personal reasons. The idea that, basically, bad code no one ever has to touch again is in fact good code, is in fact "better" in a true sense than carefully engineered code accomplishing the same thing, has been a really valuable guiding insight for me in my career. I couldn't remember where I got it though, or if it even had one single source.

Then when he shows the visualization I was like "hey that looks like the d3 script I got out of some git analysis book years ago and still use at every job I work."

It's the same guy! Looks like he productized the scripts distributed with that book, which nice. I'll definitely try it and push for places I work to pay for that instead of the bundle of customized scripts I've been dragging around for years.

I really endorse that book too! I read it at the right time in my career I think, where I had truly seen some shit and so had the experience to understand the value of that approach, but not so far in that I had become set in my ways.

How do you deal in GraphQL when you have a query hitting with multiple nodes which may return multiple cursors for the different nodes? Seems like a nightmare if you have to check and retry manually for each node, maybe there are libraries that take care of it transparently?
