It varies widely by location. The only persistent problem I see with Apple is that most business locations seem auto-generated from the address, which can mean they're a couple doors off from where they're supposed to be. But I fix those whenever I see it happen, and I've gotten a dozen or so contributions accepted by Apple, so that's cool

Also, for what it's worth, I definitely miss Street View; it's not just a novelty, and I'm glad Apple added their own version. I'm not impressed with the Apple version's current coverage, but I'm hoping it improves
This is wildly inaccurate. Poland, an EU country, bans abortion in most cases.[0]
Many other EU countries have gestational restrictions.

Hammers are great when you're trying to hit nails, but you know once you start dealing with screws a hammer's not much better than a jigsaw.

No tool is right for every job. Python's good for quickly writing relatively simple programs. Writing relatively simple programs turns out to be an incredibly common use case.

The fact people are so willing to drag python out of its comfort zone into extremely different use cases instead of learning other languages better suited to those tasks is a testament to just how valuable a simple and readable language is to most people.
> Numerous legitimate studies show that limited/no access to abortions leads to more at-home/back-alley abortions[1,2].

Abortions don't just spontaneously happen. Your style of carefully-worded rhetoric is intentional in that it gives people an impression like they just do. They don't; the mother makes knowing decisions to terminate the life of her child. Now, several states greatly restrict these intentional, knowing, conscious decisions.
The biggest problem I see is with the premise of trying to investigate the nature of the human mind in antiquity by examining a few scraps of literature. Even if we accept the premise of bicameral minds existing and these pieces of literature being written by such people, I think that tells us jack shit about the nature of the average human 3000 years ago. There's no reason to think these authors were representative of the average person in their age. These writers might have been on the autism spectrum, or had schizophrenia, or any number of other unusual mental traits that could give their literature unique quirks.

It's like reading a bunch of literature from the European middle ages written by monks, and then concluding that most people back then were celibate men. The social and cultural circumstances of an age leave a mark on what sort of literature is created and preserved.
Well, first, the pedal is decidedly not coupled to the valve in many (most?) vehicles. It is hooked up to something else which is used as input to whatever is going to control the acceleration in the vehicle.

That said, this is precisely my point. Downstream from where my direct interaction is with the system, something can go wrong. And it doesn't make sense to think of it only in terms of a single "main." Instead, there are various parts of the system that all have different responsibilities. In particular, side channels of information are setup to route some errors/information back to a user that are not necessarily part of any individual function. And some systems should panic/fail instead of trying to continue, given the state of the system.

So, if something is being punted up from inside a software system, it makes sense to have an exception be there, to me. As it does, as well, to the article in this post. I can think this, all the while also agreeing that most of the time using return based responses makes a lot of sense.

Edit: Incidentally, I think your first function is more correct there. The state should also reflect where the accelerator pedal is currently sensed at. Any actual acceleration will be in response to the rest of the systems reading that state. There is literally no way for the pedal to know if it succeeded or not.
I use Apple Maps for nav in the car because the Apple Carplay support is better, and it's usually pretty good, but I've had a couple of occasions recently where I've questioned the directions it's given me: like, why aren't you routing me according to shortest time to destination even though that's what I want?
I feel like you chose the wrong example, because the communists did manage to transform Russia into a modern state very quickly (I don't propose to ignore Stalin's atrocities), whereas South Africa doesn't seem to have a plan.
I guess very roughly you can say that if you describe a system with some set of parameters, which when changed in particular ways leave the system's quantities (energy, momentum, etc..) unchanged then you have a connection between symmetry and conserved quantities.
These make sense if there's discussion there otherwise they are just links to nowhere.
And making sure constant time on the response. Otherwise the slower response likely corresponds to a real phone number if the backend synchronously did more actions, such as sending a recovery email. The backend would need to be really slow however in order for a strong enough signal for this to be useful.

It's a fine IDE, just like all their IDEs. But last time I used it for some Swift/SwiftUI, it still required to have Xcode installed.
They do now offer more than Ubuntu (and now with arm64 on Ubuntu too, I guess for rPi) https://www.swift.org/download/.

It is quite usable with SwiftPM or Bazel on Linux. And SwiftPM can also generate static binaries (packaged everything on Swift side up until Glibc).

VS Code extension support is passable.

It appeals to works between Rust and Python (i.e. application focused work that the default running speed is a plus not a requirement, also want to spend less time to think about object lifetime, more to think about the business logic).
That's not really what I mean (I meant that it's not going to result in any difference in which system calls are made etc). If you flush manually, the runtime-provided routine that closes all streams (see e.g. https://www.gnu.org/software/libc/manual/html_node/Normal-Te...) will just do nothing, so you get a little bit of overhead from that
Furthermore a phone is the single one thing whose loss will cut you out of tens of services —at best—.

Cards are one-per-service. So if lose one, you lose access to one service.

Cards, you don't take 'em out of your wallet unless you have to use 'em.

Your wallet too, you don't leave it out on the table all the time while eating.

You don't take it out willy nilly to take selfies and panoramas, or to check the stupid notifications that you get every 3 seconds.

And when you do, it's only because you have to do wallet-y things, which you do —carefully—, perhaps even looking out for possible pickpockets and thieves.

All of the above don't need to be charged twice a day... in fact, not at all... and will still work as new, after a trip into the toilet, a drop from any height, a full blown stampede, or even a few cycles in the washing machine.

Your phone? Not so much.

And those slabs of glass and metal are often eye watering expensive. Enough to be more interesting to a thief, than even your wallet... All this, while we're continuously waving them around, in front of everybody...

So, do you really need to know how may times people "lose" their phones nowadays?

In this case most of the voting population is not educated enough to vote otherwise. There is also strong community/family pressue to continue voting for the ANC - the party that freed the country from apartheid. For many people it would be very difficult to openly vote for another political party.

This is notwithstanding the shenanigans that occur at election time. Likely not outright election rigging but there is certainly a lot of pressure and threats of violence on voting day (and also free t-shirts and mattresses).

No amount of 1913 dollars could buy you an iPhone.
Perspective from someone who doesn't at all follow open maps or any of these other products: I've never felt a need to use anything else (besides when I want to use Google Earth for more niche reasons) and I didn't even know half of them existed. The Google Maps API is also used at work for various purposes and still seems to be the industry standard. I don't know about the fees but the API has been easy enough to work with.
Anti money laundering laws are similar to attempts to ban encryption because "criminals might use it to plan crimes". Instead of focusing on catching criminals doing illegal things using time honored criminal investigation techniques, the government has chosen to curtail everyone's right to privacy and free speech.

An analogous situation would be if the US government published a list of IP addresses which were known to have sent encrypted traffic, and declared that anyone receiving packets from these addresses (regardless of whether they wanted to or not), might be prosecuted.
This is such an ignorant and low-effort post.

The author did not bother to check whether the delay comes from the library loading time vs. the actual string formatting.

He is complaining about a single millisecond difference (that is near the measurement error) and haven't bothered to run the entire thing in a loop and get the difference to something meaningful (where the terminal performance can eat away any noticeable differences).

He picked a completely unrealistic metric (console output is usually meant to be read by humans, so it was never optimized for +- millisecond performance).

He doesn't distinguish between the language (C++) and the I/O API (printf() vs iostream).

The main advantage of C++ is that if you bother to understand how it works, you can let the compiler/debugger do a lot of mind-numbing and error-prone work that C developers proudly do by hand (collections, RAII, inline templates with concepts) at exactly 0.0 runtime overhead. The key is "if you bother to understand how it works". If you randomly pick an arbitrary API and complain how it's worse than a different arbitrary API from C for an arbitrary use case, it only shows your own incompetence.

> And now that demand is swinging back down, I suspect the bust cycle will look less dramatic then it has in the past.

I've seen people who seem to know a lot about this industry make this point. We probably won't see $1.50-2/g prices but next year we'll probably see ~$2.50/g and that's probably a good thing, better than a more extreme boom and bust cycle.
> If we're talking about liability if claims are false, I should be fine using any chat platform which claims to not log messages, right?

It's a fine point, but I'd argue that Signal's promises are still "worth more" than a competitor who merely promises to not log without any technical backing: the latter is a purely social promise, while the latter is a social promise rooted in a cryptographic claim that, with the right skills, you could verify.

The RoTT threat model (which I agree is extreme!) is really not that far off: when you download the official Signal app, you're trusting, modulo the integrity of the app store, that Signal has either backdoored everyone or nobody. In other words: they would need to deliver the weakness to all users, increasing the risk of discovery, or to none of them. Binary transparency makes that gamble riskier still, by forcing Signal (or the app store) to publish signatures for each build before clients accept them for installation.

Computers will never perfectly eliminate the latent social trust required when running someone else's code, which we all do even when we run any code at all (even our own). But Signal's current model is about as good as it gets for laypeople: you can verify the source, and the parts you can't verify require significant malicious investment and/or exposure risk. For the more (potentially rightfully?) paranoid among us, building from source and comparing the binaries is about as good as it gets for now.

First, the practice of "Starlight Tours" wasn't isolated to Saskatoon. It was, and is speculated to still be a practice in many communities, with verified occurrences in Montreal and Winnipeg, as well as claims of it happening in many other small communities.

Second, the genocidal practices of the Canada towards it's indigenous population included the Inuit. There is a laundry list of genocidal tactics:
* criminalization of cultural practices
* residential schools
* isolating communities into reserves
* underfunding or denying funding for critical infrastructure
* forced separation at birth
* forced sterilization
* extrajudicial punishment by federal, provincial, and municipal police forces

The list goes on, and on, and on. There isn't a direct line between the spread of drugs and destruction of Inuit culture, and the prevalence or incidence of starlight tours, but they are all part of the threads of racism and genocide that are tightly woven into the fabric of Canadian culture.

Organic Maps is close: https://organicmaps.app

It's open source, development is very active, and there's much more of a focus on user experience (2/3 of the pinned issues).

Though it does notably lack public transportation routing.

What I meant was that using dd to take format/backup disks is just way too dangerous for human beings. The prospect of losing your precious data even once in your lifetime is too expensive a cost for the questionable benefit of feeling cool about doing backups by running a command on the terminal. Just use a gui tool for writing to physical disks. The additional visual feedback that a gui can provide is absolutely essential for human beings performing such a dangerous operation.
I would think historical czar-dom does in fact play a significant role in explaining the state of Russia today. As it is, Putin very much appears to aspire to czar-dom, and it's not impossible to believe the Russian people will grant it to him.
I don't support blaming current woes on the past however, as it carries the implication there's nothing can be done to improve things now, which is almost never really the case.
With nice validation errors pointing to line, col where unexpected information was found. I'll definitely take that.

This sounds like another version of racism to me.
I just finished reading The Making Of The Atomic Bomb and one of the things that really struck me is that the early experiments that Rutherford, Bohr and others were doing were only slightly outside the reach of a really motivated backyard physicist. $120k for a cyclotron is a lot of money, but the fact that a couple of teenagers can even dream of building one is cool. It really humanized the experiments and made the science much more interesting to me. It seems like back then anyone with some time, a modest amount of money and the knowledge could have a chance of making a real discovery.
Yes, the insight being that “graphics” is actually mostly just highly parallel compute. So if you don’t have a graphics solution then you’re unlikely to have a competitive compute solution either. It’s not quite there yet, but I think it will be soon.

It isn't so low it's reasonable to force someone to take that risk, and often in abortion cases (young mothers in particular) it's significantly higher.
I really wish there was a Shapes-like library but in C++ and not Unity, in the style of Dear IMGUI. It would make game development in general much easier… (Though it would have to be tied to render APIs like DX/GL/Vulkan because of the sheer amount of customized shaders that you need to write for it.)
I met customers who put anything under that umbrella. And they want to use PaaS/SaaS products - like, you need to encrypt table names, or some unrelated data… Some companies just use that to protect their …
For some time, links to Google Maps that I get over messages are opening up in the browser, which is hugely annoying. Else, one has to upgrade the App, but it's unclear why.
Did they add new permissions to the App that it requires an explicit confirmation of upgrade? It does not get updated as part of the regular auto-updates.
I think it’s pretty common to install the HWE kernel on Ubuntu.
I remember towards the end of college being really curious with what a box with “nothing” would contain. Researching this topic just lead me to the Kasimir Effect and there are some amazing videos that describe it.

The article doesn’t seem to touch on the above much but great to see “pop” literature on it nonetheless.

A (completely tangential, barely related) thought -- it was at one point pretty well known that Apple's app store was quite a bit better than Google's, in terms of $/download. I wonder if a similar trend can be seen in maps.
Dereferencing null is undefined behaviour in C. Probably it could be handled with platform-specific code, but handling it correctly not the easiest thing to do. Other than dereferencing null, there're so many ways to accidentally blow up C code and something like reading uninitialised memory is truly undefined behaviour which can't be worked around.

Java does not have undefined behaviour at all. Dereferencing null would throw NPE which is ordinary exception, completely fine to handle or suppress or whatever. There's no concept of uninitialised memory. The only sources of undefined behaviour in Java is calling native code or using unsafe methods which are very rare and usually located in well tested library code.

Even stack overflowing is defined behaviour and you can easily recover from it.

Starlight Tours have been documented in many major cities in Canada, with actual evidence and related cases in Saskatoon, Montreal, and Winnipeg. It is also widely suspected that it is still a practice in some communities.

Almost. Consciousness is when the mechanism in your brain models (and thus anticipates the future) other brains, is used to model itself.
I guess it depends on your ISP. I'm stuck with comcast and my IP reveals relatively little about me. I think using social networks to host your words and media gives up much more privacy than an IP does.

That first link shows fake results. 3 of the ~20 results for my IP are real and something I've torrented. The vast majority are mistakes. I assume this holds true for the entire database.

I know I'm the only person with my IP. It changed to this one about 3 months ago. I am the only one living here, I don't use wifi (all ethernet), and my network is secured by an out of network pfsense transparent firewall to monitor the LAN<->WAN(modem) link.

The second link also shows a selection of cities within a 100 mile radius but never mine.
Street Complete is great. I just wish they made it easier to enter the hours for a business. I don't know how they could do it but if a business has different hours each day it's quite painful to get that info into the app.
For me, the killer feature of Google Maps is Reviews. For directions, I now usually use Apple Maps, although somehow I find myself "double checking" with Google Maps, especially for public transportation. Also the opening hours are more accurate on Google Maps, because a lot of business actively update their Google Maps profile, but not their Apple Maps profile (probably don't even have one there).

I've noticed that Apple Maps recently added their own review system with the thumbs up and down, so it looks like they're trying to get there.
This is an article worth skimming. Key point is below. Interesting parts are links and summaries to the other mapping efforts. For example, I wasn't aware of Amazon's efforts.

OpenStreetMap (OSM), over the next decade, has the potential to do to Google what Android did to Apple: dramatically grow the overall market while drawing a clear line between the larger “open” ecosystem and the smaller “proprietary” one. The difference is that while Google Maps probably makes billions annually, it also probably costs billions to maintain, leaving it wallowing in a low-margin no-man’s land compared to its big brother Google Search.
I hate it that it's very obvious from the beginning that the journalist is impartial and clearly thinks EA is bs and Will is pretentious.
