Disclosure: I work for Esri, creator of ArcGIS, so obviously I'm extremely biased. But I'm not in sales, just a lowly dev fwiw.

QGIS is great software, and I respect what they're doing.

ArcGIS Online is a pretty great option and the Living Atlas [1] makes it really easy to consume a lot of data (a bunch of NASA datasets were recently added) and make cool maps. ArcGIS Online ends up being almost like Dropbox for geographic data, but instead of just files you can get full services, and a suite of apps for taking advantage of the services. That includes taking maps offline, making field edits, and syncing them (although that starts to cost money).

You can try the map tool without signing in, and that gives you a good idea of what you can do in the browser (custom popups, charts, tables, filtering, symbology, clustering, cartographic blending, etc). https://www.arcgis.com/apps/mapviewer/index.html?layers=dece...

The personal use subscription is $100/year and includes the full desktop software and cloud storage. [2]

I think google search trends might not provide good data on interest in TikTok search.
From what I’ve heard it’s true to an alarming degree for the alcohol industry, but it’s such a new thing there isn’t an agreed upon response yet.
IIRC The iPhone 10 has about two more years of support left. It's far from obsolete yet.
I don't think either is quite right.

I was using free market in a practical sense, as in a market (a pairing of buyers and sellers) that has functional supply and demand dynamics. I wasn't relying on any larger context, like an economy.

I didn't interpret WalterBright's comment as invoking some 'ideal' market either. I don't think talking about 'ideal' anything is even useful outside of an academic context, so I don't assume anyone here, that isn't explicitly talking about theory, is invoking an 'ideal' version of whatever they are talking about.
Considering their stack, I'd say probably GitHub?

> burdening 8 billion law-abiding Citizens with impossibly complex and arduous KYC/AML requirements

TFA notes that "This will affect the typical user of the financial system precisely zero times during their lives." It is very much not a complex and arduous situation in most instances, only in very few edge cases. (Which patio11 wants us to pay closer attention to.) I had occasion to unexpectedly transfer $10k over ACH recently, and, while a few minutes on the phone with my bank confirming things was slightly annoying, I would describe it as neither complex nor arduous. I am confident that it did not trigger a CTR or SAR, given it was not a cash transaction, and I was happy to answer a few questions.
NYC is currently too expensive to raise a family. That's why people tend to leave.

NYC has less housing stock now than it did 2 decades ago, despite the population having grown by several Austins in that time.

The pandemic seems to have spurred a lot of political will to increase housing fairly significantly. We will need to see if this will translate into actual changes.
Even more hilarious if it's a UAP.
Ask HN: HiDPI Linux Laptop Suggestions?
I'm looking for a HiDPI laptop that supports Linux, where HiDPI is something in the 248-312ppi range[1], preferably a current generation CPU.

StarLabs StarFighter looks good, but is unreleased and MacBook Pro priced. XPS 13 Plus 9320 could work, but OLED can be finicky.

Other suggestions welcome.

NTSB preliminary report for JFK runway incursion [pdf]
Right, with every nation running psy ops and disinformation campaigns, we're supposed to believe this guy (or gal):

All the information in Hersh’s post reportedly comes from a single unnamed source, who appears to have had direct access to every step of the planning and execution of this highly secretive operation.

It'd be funny if it weren't so tragic how people rush to believe things that confirm their preconceptions

> “Apple is doomed any day now”. That’s been the narrative for over 40 years.

And they almost went out of business at least twice, once they survived because MS bailed them out.

Apple pre-iPod was a source of amusing commercials. Pre iPhone they were the catalyst for change in the music industry, but they were still a consumer goods company with one product that had pretty wide, but still overall limited appeal.

Apple still doesn't have a diversified revenue stream. If Microsoft had to stop selling Windows today, they'd still make a fortune from Office. If Microsoft had to stop selling Office and Windows today, they'd still make a (much smaller) fortune from Azure.
Is there a more general term for tuple hashing? IE, math and theory around composition of hashes composed of concatenated (or otherwise combined) typed values?
Node + AWS for data ingress has been pretty painful in my experience (mostly dynamo feeds from large csv (whois database)). In the end, rewrote in C# (core 2) and it was able to complete more reliably. I'm guessing that go and rust would also be better. I like node, really like JS, but I just think that maybe the AWS libraries aren't that great in the space. It would run for 3-5 hours, then just blow up unexpectedly, even with plenty of memory overhead, and not really bandwidth limited, with appropriate retries and slowdown for dynamo rejections.

If I never have to write ETL pipelines again, I won't be upset about it.
To anyone from Australia reading this headline, no relationship to Clark's Rubber.
Why prefer a technology that needs such trust in the first place?

Hell - we don't even trust Russia with reactors in Ukraine right now, why should we have any sort of realistic trust for places that are less stable?

Especially when we actually have alternative green energy at this point.

Say what you will about solar, but it doesn't explode and contaminate large areas when bombed or improperly maintained, and you can't get incredibly effective bombs as a side effect of deploying solar.

All that aside - I think solar/wind just out compete nuclear on costs, and that's really the sticking point. And solar at least just keeps getting cheaper. We're really not that far off from a point where excess solar can just be used to create hydrocarbons on demand that can act as base load during off hours and inclement weather.

To compare - solar is down near 3 cents/kwh for utility scale. Nuclear is sitting at ~46 cents/kwh.

So nuclear is 15 times more expensive, and solar costs are STILL GOING DOWN.

Residential solar installs do better than nuclear (7 to 8 cents/kwh) - by a factor of SIX!

Frankly - I'd really rather push the solar button as hard as possible and continue experimenting with base load providers. who knows - We may actually get fusion (definitely feels closer than it used to) and then fission becomes a military only affair.

And while I'm certainly not opposed to the creation of nuclear in a lot of places - I think the tech has a lot of downsides (again - not the least of which is cost) that really cripple it.

Long comment short - If I have to pick between coal and nuclear... sign me up for nuclear. If I have to pick between nuclear and solar... I'm hitting the solar button as fast and hard as possible.

>What would you say it is the best way yo keep a Raspberry system "auto-updated"?

I think Debian packages are better than what I was doing, but if I were starting from scratch, I'd try to use Yocto[0] or NixOS[1].

Take this with a grain of salt, because this is secondhand from another founder who had good experience with Yocto, but from what she told me it's optimized for the case of pushing out updates to embedded devices. One of the pitfalls of Raspberry Pis is that the microSDs are vulnerable to filesystem corruption, which can leave the device unbootable. I believe Yocto protects against that where there are always two bootable partitions, so you failover to the other partition and can recover.

I am exhausted form this discussion. Regardless of how well researched and written this specific article might or might not be, the greater discussion is a lot of bad faith arguments from both sides. There's even less room now for respectful discussion than there was 3 months ago. I doubt I am the only one that feels this way. I want a ruling as fast as possible, so we can start having more nuanced discussions.

The more existential question this lead me to ask is, what aspect of art makes it valuable to me. I believe that the most meaningful art comes from someone that is able to communicate an experience to others through an abstract representation of it. I feel most connected to art that invokes really intense emotions and memories. I personally don't understand the value placed in most classical paintings, maybe it's a consequence of growing up with the internet. Art is not as scarce as it once was and while the process of creating art is absolutely valuable, the final piece is how other people will experience it.

But everyone experiences and appreciates art differently, the only universal truth about art is that it's really hard to predict how it will be recieved. I think artists will be the people who would most benefit from AI tools. Similar to ChatGPT, the quality of input directly impacts the quality of the output. I think people that would otherwise sympathize with the other side will get burned out, if they haven't already. I put AI art related keywords in my twitter filter. I realized I get more frustrated from the constant bad faith arguments from either side much more than the underlying issue.

You can create meaningful art using AI, they're not two mutually exclusive things.
I admire striving to not die.

Statistically, I fully expect to die. Never dying would be a fantastic surprise.

I think acceptance is a lot healthier and more likely to produce happiness in life than thinking one may be an exception.
Don't forget government taxbreak to jobs programs. It may be a small factor in the tech world, but cities love giving X% tax breaks as long as the company brings in Y jobs.
The neat thing about those items is that you’ll never get to them anyway. We sort our backlog by priority constantly, and all of the junk, old issues, or irrelevant bugs simply get shifted to the bottom over time, with more important stuff sorting itself up.
Nevertheless, if I come across something I’ve documented before, I don’t need to file the same issue over and over again; if multiple customers request the same stupid thing over time, you’ll have a track record and maybe notice there’s a need for something; and finally, a long backlog gives lots of opportunities to onboard new people with long-standing, but minor issues.
"HTML over the wire" generally refers to tech like [0] LiveView, [1] Hotwire, [2] LiveView, [3] Blazor, etc. They aren't about about ditching JS and more about not writing your HTML in JS (and yes, SSR).

I wonder if people nowadays know that Ajax (aka. partial HTML requests to update fragments of the page) was a huge leap.

Gmail is one of the first to have adopted this paradigm.
That "something" also got kind of underdeveloped in the article. It's a crazy system for moving balls aka resources from any machine into any machine. If you look closely at it, there's a lot going on :) Each one is made from a bunch of layers of acrylic with channels for the zillions of lights inside, and the solenoids to push out trapped balls, and also inductive sensors to detect if a ball is in there. It would be neat to see this type of exchanger incorporated into other pinball games! Although, given pinball designers' sometimes overly serious nature, it might not happen any time soon...
I find it is usually not so much about the JavaScript on a particular site for basic functions of that site but all of the other scripts and resources loaded by ads and promos. So many pop up videos stalking you as you try to browse the site.

Neat solution, sqlite gives you much more though. What happens with the .env files with inheritance eg. env.linux overridden by env.linux.local?
You need one url per permutation, or call them in the correct order, now you have a config for your config.

What about if you require multiple local configurations for eg. testing inside and outside docker?

What if you have several developers working on the same codebase with different settings? What if you have static data that changes with environment? Sqlite can answer all of this, including parsing quotes and handling filepaths in a uniform fashion
> How is 5% "reasonable?" Who determines that? That's not something up for a vote -- that's up to the market.

If you ask Apple themselves to split the payment processing from the hosting and 'marketing', they claim it's 3% and 27%.

So if you could use their payment processing by itself, that would put you at $485k before server costs, not $419k. So you can have very nice servers and over a third more revenue.

You'll have to decide whether being in the main app store is important enough to pay a big percentage. And advertising and updates and customer support are costs either way, so please don't imply you only pay them if you avoid the app store.
I have seen units like that Frigidaire before, and can never tell whether it's actually a heat pump, or just an AC/resistance heat combination.

Edit: Nevermind I'm an idiot. From the spec page of that unit: BTU (Cool): 11,000 BTU, BTU (Electrical Heat): 3,500 BTU, BTU (Heat Pump): 9,900 BTU. Though the owner's manual mentions an extremely warm minimum outdoor temp: "The unit should be operated in a temperature range of indoor side 60°F - 90°F (16°C - 32°C), outdoor side 64°F - 109°F (18°C - 43°C)."
What are the good resources for learning QGIS?

I tried to perform what I thought were basic tasks of drawing a few line segments and measuring geodesic distances between two points, but I needed a janky plugin for the former and never figured out how to do the latter.

I really do want to learn it however, since it's a lot easier sometimes to work interactively than doing everything in Python code, and I know QGIS is supposed to be a very powerful tool in general.
AJAX stands for Asynchronous JavaScript And XML--it was originally designed for asynchronously manipulating XML data using JavaScript because at the time, the future was XML. The act of using JavaScript to send requests is still sometimes referred to as AJAX, despite usually not dealing with XML in any way. The most common use for sending asynchronous requests is making API calls, which today generally return JSON, but you could use AJAX to load HTML and dynamically add it to the page.
I just checked and it's an iPhone 6 Plus, so even older than I thought. It's one of my wife's old phones. She did get a new one for Christmas last year but traded in her old one, which I think was an iPhone 10, so that's probably why I made the mistake.

Like I said, I really do not use it much.
It's an often (deliberately?) overlooked aspect of nuclear waste discussions. People will loudly say "radioactive waste needs to be stored for thousands of years", and "you go near some radioactive waste, you will surely die from radiation exposure". This gets combined into something like "This highly dangerous stuff, that you cannot approach stays highly dangerous and unapproachable for 10k years". Then people say "how can we possibly hope to store this incredibly dangerous stuff for 10k years, it's such a hard problem to solve, better not create this stuff in the first place, no more nuclear!".

But the stuff that lasts 10k years is a very different beast from the stuff that kills you quickly from just being near it. The supremely radioactive stuff tends to have a very short half-life. We can think about storage methods in very human time-frames, it's much more achievable. The other, long half life stuff needn't be stored with nearly the same extremly stringent standards, because it just isn't so extremely dangerous.
Would not recommend. It's a great city if you like paying almost as much as SF for housing and getting:

- High heat and humidity for 8 months out of the year

- Mosquitos that make the few nice days out much less nice

- Surprising ice/snow storms in the middle of the few months of nice weather

- Having to drive everywhere in heavy and hostile traffic

- Risking your life if you want to walk or bike somewhere

- Being surrounded by an expanse of suburban sprawl that's very ugly

- Having surprisingly few cultural institutions / resources close by

- Property taxes are eye-poppingly high so if you plan to buy a place be warned that you can afford less than you think

That said if you love strip malls and want to live in a place where people equate quality of life to quantity of stuff, then you'll love it!

Russia produce not only oil and gas but also is one of the biggest nuclear plant equipment exporters. If I were them I would rather sponsor articles on how it is hard to dispose of solar panels…
> Montlake had a small grocery store that was torn down precisely because of the 520 construction.

Right, I forgot about the Montlake Market. That closed before my search, but I did hear about it.

> 520 is a highway after all, and highways are hostile to walkability for a multitude or reasons

Yeah, that's fair. I'd argue that 520 in it's final incarnation will be a little bit less hostile than most, as it's mostly over water, and the lids over the 2 land crossings (with parks + transit) will partially mitigate the walkability concerns. It'll still be a noisy eyesore though.

Geographically, Montlake is in a pretty desirable location. It will have quick transit connections to downtown Seattle+SLU, UW (and light rail), and the eastside. I imagine the future only blocker to development will be zoning and pushback from existing residents.

Would you recommend Bartlesville/Tulsa?
There are some folks in the permacomputing community working on this in a generalized way. Some, like the folks making CollapseOS and DuskOS foresee an eventual collapse, where our civilization is unable to fabricate new microprocessors, and so we have to repurpose and scavenge old ones.

We're talking things like, repurposing z80 (such as in older TI calculators) as an environment for reprogramming microcontrollers.
IIRC the other solution is to make a tree structure instead of a CDF. Can't remember if it's a good solution though.
I think I’ve heard someone calling this shotgun KYC. They will allow you to deposit but as soon as you show signs of using that money they take it as hostage until you prove you are not a criminal.
As an employee, you are essentially a business owner with one customer. Your customer can cut you off at any time with a 3 AM e-mail, even if you pour your heart into your work. You lose access to it too. You own nothing, any thing you do, your customer owns 100%. There is no intellectual property of yours it's all theirs. Owning a business is super hard and you won't make as much money until you sell, if you are lucky to sell. But, being an employee is even more crazy.
More than that, there should be a "right to do whatever the hell you want" from day one. It's your device, you paid for it, and you own it, yet for whatever reason we allow these companies to tell us how we can use the hardware we paid for and own.
That vibe is very 2000's.

Austin used to be cool. Austin used to have a bunch of places open until 3AM. Austin used to be a raging live music scene. Austin used to have latin clubs with 12 piece bands and a dance floor the size of a postage stamp that served amazing homemade tamales. Austin used to have cool food places. SXSW used to have a whole bunch of artists you never heard of--and some of them sucked terribly--but that's how cool works. Austin used to have a biker bar that had the best milkshakes in town.

All these things disappeared about the mid 90s (it's no coincidence that Office Space was shot in Austin in 1998-1999). Nothing "cool" has risen to replace any of it.

But people also do forget that unless they were UT students they really didn't like the "cool" people very much back then. For example, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Marcia Ball, and their ilk whom everybody now lionize were considered part of the undesirables. The "hippies" were looked at with a mixture of arms length tolerance and active disgust. And as has been pointed out in the article, race relations have been fraught for a very long time.
QGIS and PostGIS were my jam when I worked in that space. We were an ESRI shop so Oracle/SQL Server with SDE (topped with ArcGIS) were the official tools. Some of us were always looking for ways to subvert the culture by building tools based on open source stacks.

One of my favorite experiences from that era: We were meeting with a few ESRI reps for some integration stuff. The lead hot-shot was on his phone playing around during the meeting. He was basically on autopilot. The other two folks were working with GeoJSON response convertors. I said, "I built one of those with TopoJSON". One guy said, "I've never heard of it". I showed them how it was much more efficient and used splines instead of points. The lead dropped his phone and said, "I need you to tell me MORE about that". I showed them the service. They invited me to lunch, I politely declined and said, "today's my last day so I have a ton of things to wrap up". I do miss that realm sometimes.
But should care about and actually care about are different things.
