I’d recommend taking a look at Maplibre GL JS[0], which is a fully open source map library. It was forked from Mapbox GL JS just before licence change, therefore it’s also fully compatible with the style spec etc.

It’s also actively maintained and has a strong community behind it.

For 250B EUR, Germany paid for the learning curve movement that now enables the rest of the world to deploy solar and batteries. If it was not for German investment to drive that 90% drop in price, bills like the IRA would not even be possible to contemplate.

The "that would pay for the entire French fleet" thing is nonsense. Just google the cost of the most recent plants built anywhere in EU and multiply it by how many you'd need to meet France's 61GW capacity. (example: Hinkley Point C, 75B EUR for 3.26GWe, 61GW/3.26GW = 18, 18*75 = 1,350B EUR, Olkiluoto Unit 3, 11B EUR for 1.6GWe, 61GW/1.6=~38, 38*11=418B EUR).

Yes, Germany paid a huge price for their solar. We should be thankful they did.
Yes but you need a GPU with 10Gb of vRAM
This is a fallacy.
The deal other people get has no bearing on your company.

Yes. If you compare what you did vs what they did. But really it's like winning the lottery and complaining that some other winner bought less tickets.

Imagine actually getting into YC and turning it down because someone you think is less worthy also got in.

Tbh it sounds quite entitled.

At worst those other companies are unrelated. At best they are inspiring.

I saw a video on YT that said basically if you scale the Earth down to something you can place on a table, it would still feel smooth to the touch. The globe would have to be some really huge number before you could detect features by touch.

Unfortunately I don't remember what channel that was. But they did a lot of comparisons to show why. You can pretty much get that idea just looking out a jet window, since the Earth already looks pretty smooth even at that close range.
Yup. I got my first smartphone in 2010. In those 12 years, I've only cracked a single one, and there were extenuating circumstances.

It was my Droid Turbo, which was known for having a shatter-proof screen. One of the things that helped achieve its durability was that the bezel actually had a lip around the screen, so if it got dropped, then the screen glass never took the impact.

That changed once the battery had reached nearly 4 years of age and had started to swell, pushing the screen outside the bezel. Dropped it onto concrete and it got one crack across it.

I replaced it with a Pixel 3, and then later a Pixel 6 Pro. I put cases on them, but they're thin TPU, and I use them mostly for being able to have a better grip, since the trend for phones now is a slick glass back which offers zero grip in your hand.

I might just opt for a pop-socket on my next phone. To be honest, I rolled my eyes at them at first, but I realized it was just cynicism for hating popular things. They're actually quite nice for using your phone one-handed, and almost a must-have considering how big phones have gotten.

The challenge is that when the Earth gets shrunken down to the size of a globe the height differences of the topographical features become imperceptible. The same is true for how oblate the Earth is at the equator, its too subtle to appear at-scale. I don't have the math but I believe the height difference between Mt.Everest and the Mariana Trench is thinner than a sheet of paper for the size of globe that can fit on your desk, if I recall correctly.

Because fluorine has a low neutron capture cross section.

Chlorine has a rather high capture cross section for thermal neutrons, so it could only be used in fast reactors.
I would say that instead of outright quitting, putting more time towards interest may be a better idea. I did it with wood-working; I had a garage and bought some tools and setup a workbench.

At first I made small fixes to the house and then small tables and stools. I am still at that stage trying to refine my skills and haven't attempted anything too big but that alone has provided much therapeutic relief. Have used Youtube for learning; attended some classes but they can get expensive fast so it is mostly Youtube for me until I feel ready to tackle bigger projects.

>employees pretending to work and milking them

Why don't bosses just fire their managers and hire better ones than contract some software? It should be impossible to milk your employer if you are expected to be contributing. Anyone on your team will see right away you are full of shit if you are actually full of shit. If they can get the job done half assed, and people are none the wiser, then good for that employee figuring out how to optimize their time while still delivering acceptable performance that no one is complaining about.
Huh, I thought everyone used SSE floats these days. I suppose there may be old games compiled with x87 floats, but I'd expect those to be made for CPUs so old that even slow x87 emulation wouldn't be a big issue.

What software do people have x87-related issues with?
Solar and wind are the cheapest sources of energy, they just happen to also be green. But this is a recent development- fossil fuels were cheaper in the recent past.

The transition to them would be a lot cheaper if the opposition from the incumbent energy suppliers was not so stiff.

To scale? It's about 1000-to-1 ratio from Earth's diameter to the tallest mountains. A 1 m globe would have 1 mm tall mountains.
I would agree for some of the old guard antivirus (looking at you McCrappy) but with the better ones you are also paying for a huge amount of analytics and reporting. If you are dealing with a breach (even a small one) it can be really really nice (and reassuring especially for people at higher levels) to have nice easy to consume data on what the chain of attack was and where it started.
This form of data collection and use has broken a status quo that has existed as long as life itself. Shouldn't it more conventionally be the ones in favour of this change to provide evidence of its benefits rather than the other way around?

Yeah. Modern (but not bleeding edge) optocouplers can do 100ns pulses which would give you 10mbps - but I’m not sure how that plays with the failure mode for the transmissions. Ethernet doesn’t care how many packets your sending per second, it’ll try to do the full speed from the get-go, so the question is whether the errors would be exacerbated or alleviated by retransmission from higher up in the stack.

Now you can argue that you wouldn't make this trade-off but for others including myself it is the right decision. For most people, including professionals, RAM is no longer the bottleneck for system performance.

Kia Niro also has numerical pressure for four tires. It really helped when I noticed one tire dropped a couple of pounds before the actual TPMS warning on the dash. Took it in and they patched the slow leak. I am now inclined not to buy a car without a numeric display of the pressure in individual tires. It is way too useful a feature.
That's not true, even if you produce electricity from gas, using a heat pump to heat your home rather than a gas-powered central heating is more efficient.

i think this is a bit pessimistic. You can also use GPT-3 or similar technologies to much more easily train a fine-tuned "real vs fake" review classifier with fewer training examples than was previously necessary.

> I'm not sure why it's sacrosanct

Well, it's a pretty good fantasy comic for adults. It's not the only one, nor the first, but it's pretty good. And fans tend to be zealous of those. For many of us, it holds a special place in our comics-reading education, and so we would not wish to see it demeaned but yet another low quality adaptation that completely misses the point or dumbs everything down.

Thankfully, it doesn't seem to be the case with this adaptation of The Sandman :)

edit: this is what Gaiman has to say about The Sandman's cultural significance:

"And after 30 years, “Sandman,” at this point, is probably the single best-selling series of graphic novels ever published in the U.S."
I'm glad IP took over everything, but I wish that TCP hadn't become practically mandatory. There are some other really useful transport layer protocols, like SCTP that are great to use on a LAN, but good luck getting them to work on the internet. The only way to do anything other than TCP is to layer/tunnel it over UDP, and even that has less support than TCP.
My philosophy has always been: Clearly separate the input from the result from the error, using different features of the language for each. Pass input variables only as arguments, return only the "result" of the function, and throw errors. Take the classic (and simplistic) divide function, in pseudocode. There are a number of ways you can do it, and I'm not listing them all:

divide(numerator, denominator) returns quotient, throws error

divide(in numerator, in denominator, out quotient) throws error

divide(in numerator, in denominator, out quotient) returns error

divide(in numerator, in denominator, out quotient, out error)

divide(numerator, denominator) returns tuple(quotient, error)

I've always considered the first one more expressive, more usable by the caller (e.g. you can pass the result of the function directly to the next function), and the least confusing. The second one is -meh-.. I'm just not a big fan of input and output arguments. You have a return value, why not use it? The last three are particularly bad, because the caller must remember to check the error value manually (unless your compiler can remind you).
Completely agree. Currently staring at 700k+ BigQuery costs annually and accomplished MUCH more with Snowflake at the same price.

This is true, but misses one detail...

Snowflake runs in the cloud so every dollar of Snowflake revenue is roughly $0.40^1 of Amazon/Google/Microsoft revenue anyway.

The beauty of the scheme is you won't need micro transaction: the regular advertising money streams would suffice to make it work. You essentially function as an agency with a campaign spend to get rid of on behalf of an agency: the people paying for the service. All the rest would be taken care of by the existing channels.
Employee vs Freelancer – When to Hire Whom from the Company’s Perspective – 1(3)
HARD ASPECTS

These are differences on paper, which can be measured, and which are pretty much factual.

Administration
For the company hiring freelancers, it means different payment terms (paying for an invoice compared to creating a salary statement) and less bookkeeping in terms of not having to pay, report and document income taxes (including social taxes etc). Regarding the payment terms, usually freelancers get paid one, or even two, three, months, later or when the job is finished (this is stipulated in the freelancer’s contract and personally, I have experienced up to three months later, as demanded by the client) but employees could get their salary the same month (unionen.se). The freelancer has to administer and pay the income tax themselves and also pay self-employment tax and so on (ramseysolutions.com). Therefore, there usually is both less administration and payment at a later stage with freelancers compared to employees for the company.
Costs
Hiring freelancers compared to employees results in lower running costs. The total cost, which mainly depends on the employee’s salary and the freelancer’s hourly fee (and other peripheral costs) can be lower or higher in total for the company, but we can at least declare that it is a different kind of cost. Costs for salaries (as payroll expenses are overhead costs), benefits, computers and phones as well as other perks are allocated each month on a certain account in a hiring company, but as an expense when contracting freelancers (and not including benefits, phones and other perks, but sometimes computers due to security reasons). As such, freelancers result in lower running costs and headcount than employees. Whether or not the total cost for the company is higher or lower is more complex and varies from case to case, something I will not discuss further here. (paro.ai)
Employment benefits
The company does not have to pay or administer paid vacation, share or option programs, maternity leave, possible medical insurance, travel and retirement plans etc to freelancers (freelancers can choose to pay for these themselves instead and in their own company, if they want). Thus, freelancers receive no employment benefits from their client, meanwhile employees do that according to their contract and the company’s guidelines. (paro.ai)
The hiring process
From attracting talent to getting a freelancer onboard, in contrast to an employee, it goes faster and is less complex. For example, hiring companies may include several interviews spanning over several months and involving lots of different departments and people. There may be aptitude tests - both personal and competence wise as well. A freelancer can be ‘onboard’ by tomorrow ( no training or orientation needed) and the shortest interview process I have had was just a 10 minutes phone call. In conclusion, the hiring process is cheaper and easier with freelancers compared to employees that usually go through the traditional and extensive hiring process. (linkedin.com/pulse)
100%. For me, it's going to be another one of those red-flags to not join your org.
I am not. Of course it's not legal to use pirated software. By definition pirated software is illegally obtained. But a legally obtained copy can be run without a license, if none was required to obtain the software.

As for "leaked" software: again, if copies are illegally obtained then of course it's illegal to use them.

How messed up was it that Trump warned about the exact current situation years ago, and was promptly ignored? Didn't Obama, too?
I'm not the guy above but the better ones can be very useful. And if they are behaving that badly and impeding your work THAT much then it is most likely that the person in your org configuring it just sucks as their job.
I think its entitled to think that your idea is worth a multi-million dollar valuation without a single thing to show for it.

If you get into YC and you actually have a product or revenue, it's almost certain that someone else would give you better terms because they care about product or revenue. It's like getting a 1600 on your SATs and going to a school that doesn't check your SATs. Is it the best school for you? Maybe, but prob not.

The video is literally Trump in 2018 calling out Germany on their dependence on Russian gas whilst they smirk at him. His words:

> “Germany will become totally dependent on Russian energy if it does not immediately change course. Here in the Western Hemisphere, we are committed to maintaining our independence from the encroachment of expansionist foreign powers.”

Even the Washington Post wrote about it at the time: https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2018/09/25/trump-accuse...
The same, why would netflix allocate more bandwidth which would cost them money? I know people with gigabit and obscenely huge 4k displays and netflix looks just as bad there as it looks at my parents place with a 16MBit broadband connection. In fact, it looks a bit better there because their 1080p screen doesn't have as much contrast and is much smaller so the bad quality is concealed.
Please keep shooting here, we really appreciate the jobs and the money.

That’s a common misconception. Bullying affects everybody, most of all the bystanders and the societal attitudes as the result. If bystanders don’t interfere to prevent bullying they accept it and only wish it doesn’t happen to them. That perpetuates the notion that the strongest, most violent and cruel rule, deeply rooting it in the minds of the growing adolescents and dictating the prevalent mentality of the society 10-20-30 years forward.
