Sorry, I meant the mapy.cz app. I agree that the website does look poor especially the lack of contours. The app gives you these, hill shading and more importantly offline maps in a very efficient way - the whole of Wales is only 175.16 MB.

Heres a screenshot from the app [0]. I wouldn't normally have it in landscape, but I've tried to make it as similar as possible to the Ordnance Survey example you gave.

In my opinion, the only downside is that mapy.cz uses the local place names, so you get Yr Wyddfa instead of Snowdon. Fortunatelly, you can still search for Snowdon and get taken there. But the local names can be confusing - I wish they had the option to have English names.

I also should add that mapy.cz doesn't give you bearings so I still have AlpineQuest for that.

Always, without fail, whenever the talk falls on taxing CO2, someone will bring up "think of the poor". Usually someone who would otherwise do nothing to help the poor.

It is pretty simple, we have to do something about everyone's emissions, including the poor's. If that places an unbearable burden on the poor, maybe we should do something in addition, in order to help the poor. Like UBI, making public services free, forcing employers to pay decent wages, building sufficient cheap housing, and a lot of other stuff.
Why I left Pine64
>As I tried to demonstrate, there weren't enough people using my package on Debian to maintain it. I believe it's useful, so 1) why not, and 2) what should happen next?

What's important is not if you think it's useful, but if Debian users think that it's useful. I can empathize with wanting to feel like your software is important, but it's important to set aside my ego when I consider this. It's the user's place to decide, not mine.

Balancing this, I think that we should have more users working to package the software they need in their distributions of choice. It's not particularly difficult. This is a cultural idea that we should foster and encourage.

You should encourage this behavior from your users as well, as it's in your best interests, too. The small efforts of distribution maintainers scales up to benefits for many users of that distribution. Rather than encouraging people to download your tarball or PyPI release, encourage them to install it from their distribution, or to step up and maintain a package if it's not already present.

To clear up the terminology a bit, I am referring to any system where the distribution of the software is maintained independently of the maintenance of the software itself. This applies to Linux distros, BSDs, pkgsrc, nixpkgs, etc. I collectively refer to these systems as "software distributions", but I agree that there's not a better established term for this approach.

Wrote about it some here:

Definitely not that simple. To use your same argument though, it’s not just homeowners - it’s homeowners and aspiring homeowners. Which is nearly everyone.
Can’t imagine the stress levels he had to endure at Tesla. Looking from the outside it seems totally worth it - he solved “the money problem” very young. Now he can do whatever the hell he wants and he keeps building because that’s what builders do. He’s such an inspiration.
*OBLIGATORY IANAL!*

If we were to apply US law, specifically the infamous "Section 230", then that would depend on whether Y Combinator actively engages in moderation (aka editorializing) of comments.

If Y Combinator only engages in moderation of comments merely to satisfy other legal requirements (eg: remove illegal materials), then Y Combinator is a platform and cannot be held liable for comments.

If Y Combinator engages in moderation of comments beyond any requirements mandated by law (eg: remove some comments because the moderators don't like them), then Y Combinator is a publisher editorializing its content and can be held liable for comments.

A simplification is if Y Combinator has anything to do with a comment other than blindly disseminating it, then Y Combinator can be held liable for the comment. If not, whoever wrote the comment is liable.

And yes, if you think social media is getting away with moderating and editorializing its contents (eg: "this is disinformation" notices) while evading any and all liability under the guise of being a platform, you are absolutely right.
As I indicated in my comment, you don't need to know precise values, you just need to be able to bound them.
His view on other things though. Damn. I don't know the guy. I searched his name on youtube to see if he'd go into more detail in another interview. I won't say it takes something away from what he says about training but damn I kind of feel like it does anyway. :)
I find it easier in the bigger city; but I might be biased as I lived in a big city most of my life.

What I meant is an ability to be within the reach of any other person within an hour.

Using zoom for 3 years now (for obvious reasons) - I find it inferior to the private in-person communication. Problem that you need to schedule a meeting, which adds some formality and is usually harder, while you can have a pleasant chat with even a rich and powerful person while accidentally meeting them in a hall. For scheduling a zoom call, you need to find an excuse. To chat in a hall with someone - you don't need and excuse.
industrial development is a little bit harder than just setting an artificially low exchange rate. you need a well-trained workforce, access to input materials (if you have to import those at higher prices you have a bit of a hen-and-egg situation), infrastructure, logistics, a strong legal system, political stability,...

if you only lower your exchange rate without any of the other factors in place, my guess would be that you'd just end up being poorer. on the other hand, if you do have the other factors, Switzerland is a good example that a low exchange rate is not necessary to be an export powerhouse
Agree that this insight is well expressed. Helps me understand more why auto play is probably more important and powerful on junk-social-media platforms.

On Netflix, auto-play is just pulling forward what you would probably watch later. On TikTok and Facebook, you’re autoplaying and auto-opting into a class of content you normally would retreat from.
It will also break stuff for you. Homebrew doesn’t have versioned dependencies, so I had, for example, my nodejs broken for me when libicu got updated from 69 to 70 without also updating nodejs. Homebrew index doesn’t take such things into account at all.
Loss aversion, endowment effect, gain-loss framing shape information preferences
Yeah, honestly this has been annoying me too, I just haven't got around to fixing it. It's using CodeMirror 6 as the editor, the author said he deliberately made this version not "break" the default tab behaviour, which I think is understandable as a library author, but that makes it my job to fix!
I want to believe he was trolling.. I'm not prepared for the truth.
Sadly, these days being right is often a quick path to being unpopular. :(
When they mention tearing them in half, I’d imagine this more closely resembles what we would think of as slicing and just has the tearing effect due to the size of the material

The longer I live the more I am finding the universe is working on extremely simple few principles; their relations create complexity.

Aspiring homeowners will never become homeowners if the price is exclusionary.

Take SF: with average salary of 75-79K, the apartment cost starts from 1.1M. Only 8% has salary > than 100K, that makes the remaining 92% the "aspiring" homeowners.

They will stay "aspiring" for the rest of their life. The only think they (or rather, "we") can do - make sure that post-zoomer generation don't have to be "aspiring" for their entire lives.

> they are not that strong beyond their nuclear arsenal, as Ukraine has made rather clear.

Yes, they're not as strong as they're fighting like it's WWII, but Ukraine received billions of dollars worth of hi-tech weapons and that has tipped the scales in favor of Ukraine. My point is that, if USA and Europe did not provide all that assistance and weapons to Ukraine, Russia would probably have fared way better against Ukraine even with their dated weapons and tanks and their incompetent conscripted soldiers.
Cute video on hexaflexagons:

I am firmly convinced we need a "War on Climate Change".
I strongly agree.

The article presents the various media as existing with some inherent ordering of value or preference. Text is not less than Image in any sense, just as VR is not greater than Video. These media may have different characteristics in terms of desirability for business metrics (especially in terms of product differentiation) which make it seem like there is some ordering.

Consider Twitter, which while it might not have the MAU of Facebook (a tall order!) is still a testament to the enduring value of text. And again, this isn't any case for Text being superior in any sense, but rather a way of pointing out that appetites for all of these media happily coexist and probably always will.

A similarly poor ordering (from the past) might look something like:

Medium: print (text) -> radio (audio) -> television (video) -> multimedia (CD-ROM hahaha)

We know of course that audio has not become less relevant over time.

OTOH the effort required for people to participate by creating works in these different media varies hugely. Text and Images are very accessible and are still far more accessible than Video (user research in my job suggests that they struggle to create quality video content more so than still images) and 3d graphics and VR are likely to remain inaccessible (relative to digital photography).

Very nice! Reminds me a lot of numi (https://numi.app). Similar, but MacOS only (and paid).
The success of such an idea would depend a lot on location. It makes me think of the old "listener booths" for music that are antiquated now.

Maybe do a cost benefit analysis or try to estimate traffic, just leasing it out might earn more.

It’s also funny to think of companies like Apple, MS, etc. as having 1 opinion or even tactic.

I know they say it. But they’re made up of 100s-1000s of groups. And at Apple especially, many of these groups are not allowed to talk to each other.

From the outside it’s easy to see companies that way. But if you’ve ever been inside a large company, you know what I’m talking about. That’s not unique to tech, either.

And rewriting software in a new language is always going to get back burnered by delivering new features. Until there’s a fundamental change they want that justifies a rewrite, a codebase is staying in its current language due to inertia.

Heck, companies will lie to themselves about these things. My favorite is this pattern

Show HN: Easily create robust, lightweight, browser-based P2P networks
Membrane takes signalling to the browser, creating living peer networks. After just one server-based signal, a node never again needs centrality. The network acts as one giant signaling membrane, connecting far-flung peers at a whim. So long as a node remains a part of the network, it has full contact with every participant. Meanwhile, the network actively stabilizes around each new member, ensuring that severed connections will not damage the network nor cut off nodes, and allowing for an overall seamless "immediate-access-to-anyone" experience.
I find it pretty cool.

1. "square" before a unit I probably will implement that in the future. I'm not sure why "400 m^2" isn't working for you, I've just tried it and it works as expected for me?

2. It's a little bit clunky, but I decided to always specify the time and date being shown because there's so much potential for ambiguity. I might revisit this if I can think of a better way of doing it that's still unambiguous (the Soulver way isn't bad tbh)

3. "min" is supported, I've never come across "mn", do you know where it's used?
In my experience, you really only start to see these problems at the tens of thousands of flashcards level. I have ~70,000 mature flashcards and also have the growing backlog problem, even if I don't add new cards for weeks. My collection is 8 years old.

I agree that making good flashcards helps alot. Another big thing is to make sure the knowledge graph is connected, eg there are no 'orphaned' individual cards / groups of cards. Those tend to suffer seriously from decay for me.
It seems that most marketers and automotive interior designers live in another universe. I really, really want to ask them if they really thought that this is appropriate and why.
"kph" is also supported, will add support for "km/h"

Is this not resolved with WAL mode? You can't have concurrent writes, but they can go into a "queue" so as long as you have fast writes and suitable timeouts they'll still be committed.

So whilst they're not technically concurrent, as far as a human using your app will be concerned it will feel concurrent because they were able to write at the same time as someone else, just at an imperceivable fraction of a second slower.

> If Y Combinator engages in moderation of comments beyond any requirements mandated by law (eg: remove some comments because the moderators don't like them), then Y Combinator is a publisher editorializing its content and can be held liable for comments.

Just because many people wish Section 230 says that, it doesn't. The the contrary it gives fairly broad protection to moderation efforts and does not say that moderation amounts to becoming a publisher. (hence various people calling for changes to this, restricting platforms ability to moderate)
Wealthy parents, wealthy partner.
I wouldn't really mind, if I married a girl and she decided after we had kids that she just wanted to be a stay-at-home mom.

And she like paints or something. But that notion also devalues domestic housework, which is just as valuable as typing all day to make ad revenue go up.

But I would still like to think a stay-at-home parent could carve out more time for their hobbies. Particularly once the kids are in school.

Being a music person like me, I totally would love to have classical pianist as a wife and just come home every day to hearing classical piano.

Here's the point of the article:

> since the second world war, governments across the rich world have made three big mistakes. They have made it too difficult to build the accommodation that their populations require; they have created unwise economic incentives for households to funnel more money into the housing market; and they have failed to design a regulatory infrastructure to constrain housing bubbles.

The monotonic rise in the cost of housing is because of speculation. But this speculation is "legitimate" capitalism. The corpocracy certainly discourages the leftist notion of limiting capitalism.

> Housing is also a big reason why many people across the rich world feel that the economy does not work for them.

Housing is one of the reasons. Food, healthcare, and the environment are other reasons.

> because the reward for having merit - money - is itself an effective substitute for merit.

True! It's exactly what happens with, for example, the richest man in the world right now. Everyone loves him because they think he has so much merit, but he's just a glorified recruiter and/or magnate, he doesn't have any technical knowledge at all.
Coffee with Brian Kernighan – Computerphile [video]
It's hard to tell if you are pro- or anti-revolution.

I think you are suggesting that banning and confiscation of rich people's CO2 emmissions is a good thing. Which kind of sounds revolutionary to me.

But you also seem to be against a carbon tax, because it would cause social unrest and lead to revolution. But also against it because it wouldn't affect rich people enough and would harm poor people.

There seems to be several obvious, non-revolutionary solutions to this, but I don't know if you're avoiding them because you want a revolution or the complete opposite i.e. you don't want any change from the status quo.
I love genanki. If you create your cards such that they have an ID in the first field, you can also update them over time. This is useful for pulling from online sources whose underlying data may change over time. It's also nice when you want to update the template for previously-generated cards, perhaps to format the question/answer differently.

Some fun background information: in the process of writing this article I actually got a Steam Deck scalped off of eBay and was able to expense it. To this day it is the weirdest/most surreal expense I have ever filed and I am shocked I got away with it. I literally filed it under "development hardware" and it became a meme among my friends.

This is always claimed, and is always false. Please do not repeat falsehoods.

Existing hydro generation needs a watershed. Pumped hydro does not. All it needs is a disused hilltop and earthen dike, and not always the dike.

It doesn't always need the hill: underground cavities work to pump water up out of, and to drain into.

Batteries will always be the most expensive alternative. They will be used in limited amounts, mainly for very short-term (overnight) storage.
I don't want buttons. I want switches.

More generally: I want to be able to feel the state something is in. Whether it is push/pull, turn, or flip doesn't matter, but it has to physically maintain the state I put it in.

An exception to this of course are functions that are used temporarily, like the horn, and the wipers swipe-once. And if direction indicators turn off automatically, the input device has to change its state accordingly.

To be fair, sometimes it's not unreasonable. There is a huge difference between being in an often tiny team smashing out code to get a product out the door and leading multiple teams specialising in multiple different disciplines.

There's also a huge difference between being able to architect a piece of software and being able to work out a 5 year technology roadmap, manage budgets, analyse the competitive landscape, manage multiple stakeholders etc...

For some people that difference is the difference between having an enjoyable job and absolutely hating going to work...
I believe pound sign is used in a few other places as well (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pound_sign). Enforcing the use of ISO 4217 codes (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_4217) may be a solution to avoid this type of ambiguities.
