Sorry, no. This was my dad’s field, not mine, so I’ve just got a bunch of second-hand info and know that the software he worked on (two pieces, one for a company and one of his own) handled these sorts of things correctly. And I find it genuinely impossible to imagine that major GIS software would not handle this, because it’s so fundamental.

Your GIS software will have you set a base CRS, and then, presuming it’s not recording time on points, all coordinates will be relative to it at its epoch. That’s all you need, now if you want to see what it’s like now, you project it accordingly. Anything along the lines of recording new points based on actual measurements should obviously either record time and position, or just position after performing the reverse transformation. But there you’d tend to be getting beyond the domain of what the bulky GIS software is doing, and into the domain of specific-purpose mobile apps and such.

I enabled Lockdown mode mostly for restricting inbound messaging in iMessage as that seems to be the common entry point, and it's not something that's easy to stop from a end user's perspective.

Doing so broke my apple watch integration, which to me is a bad balance between security and functionality. I wish they gave fine grained control over what protection get's implemented and what it will break.

When it's so fast that a human being doesn't even perceive it, it's not an "eternity". In fact, it doesn't matter. At all.

I had thought about PPK, but I like the reassurance of knowing I got a clean point on site, especially given tree cover. I also considered drone work, and I'll likely put hands on a drone or someone who has one in future, but not for LIDAR, just mapping in general.

Since my goal isn't just getting terrain, but also mapping features in detail (I'm doing site planning for an event as well), I may as well skip the drone LIDAR because I'm going to be walking the ground anyway and I can do better than it can, was my conclusion.
I tested it just now and it seems to work fine.

Yes! A friend and I had the same thought a while back and then remembered the curl operator from vector calculus is divergence free, so you can take the curl of any 3d field to get a divergence free result, and then use a 2d slice of that if you want. It does look like fluid flow when you do that. I’ve even used this trick in CG films back when I worked at DreamWorks. We wrote a bit about this divergence free noise field fake fluid flow in a Siggraph course. A few years later, another researcher came up with some techniques for putting boundaries and obstacles into the noise field. He may have come up with the same idea for using the curl of noise independently, but he referenced the article my friend and I wrote. https://www.cs.ubc.ca/~rbridson/docs/bridson-siggraph2007-cu...

But! I’m not sure divergence free noise would necessarily solve any problems for what this artist is trying to achieve. The art he’s generating is currently making use of the field’s divergence and convergence properties; in the images it’s important that lines move further apart and become less dense sometimes, and then converge and become more dense in other places. The divergence can be ugly if you see too much of it or identify the pattern, and that’s a big reason the article uses collision detection to terminate converging lines. But the finished images he shows are also setting the noise scale and framing the image manually in order to maximize the benefits of the divergent noise, and minimize the downsides.

When I googled for the paper I found a few interesting links about curl noise:

2d example: https://al-ro.github.io/projects/curl/

3d example: https://al-ro.github.io/projects/embers/

Houdini offers curl noise. Houdini is amazing for generative art, btw, and has a free personal learning edition.

The problem is still bad actors. Take for example audible. They deliberately put everything into a single category "Member notifications"

If you want to know when your audiobook is downloaded or when you get a your next credit is available, you also have to put up with promotional "X book is 40% off" garbage spam.
A 401(k) match _is_ free money though. When you leave the company, you can just cash out the account - the penalty will still probably be less than the match gave you, so you come out ahead.

Of course, it's best to just let it sit in retirement accounts until you can take a qualified distribution.

I am a part-time rust programmer at best, and it was my understanding of the Rust design that it goes something like "Systems programming and memory safety without sacrificing performance" not "automatically faster", unless you compare only to "memory safety without performance guarantees" e.g., Python, JS/CLI, Java, etc. It seems to me that Go lives in this same domain where it intersects networked systems programming.

I use SQLite/Litestream for https://extensionpay.com! Serves about 120m requests per month (most of those are cached and don't hit the db), but it's been great!

I have no affiliation with Litestream but I was convinced that SQLite could be a viable db option from this great post about it called Consider SQLite: https://blog.wesleyac.com/posts/consider-sqlite

Using SQLite with Litestream helped me to launch the site quickly without having to pay for or configure/manage a db server, especially when I didn't know if the site would make any money and didn't have any personal experience with running production databases. Litestream streams to blackblaze b2 for literally $0 per month which is great. I already had a backblaze account for personal backups and it was easy to just add b2 storage. I've never had to restore from backup so far.

There's a pleasing operational simplicity in this setup — one $14 DigitalOcean droplet serves my entire app (single-threaded still!) and it's been easy to scale vertically by just upgrading the server to the next tier when I started pushing the limits of a droplet. DigitalOcean's "premium" intel and amd droplets use NVMe drives which seem to be especially good with SQLite.

One downside of using SQLite is that there's just not as much community knowledge about using and tuning it for web applications. For example, I'm using it with SvelteKit and there's not much written online about deploying multi-threaded SvelteKit apps with SQLite. Also, not many example configs to learn from. By far the biggest performance improvement I found was turning on memory mapping for SQLite.

Happy to answer any questions you might have!

The reason Meta/FB is failing is because they're motivated by $$ and fear. Because they don't own a platform like Apple, Google, MS they want their own pie too. Which platform that is, they don't so much care which is why they can say it's VR one day, then AI the next. And because they don't care, they'll be as successful as anything Google does that isn't search/ad related. If they're very lucky they'll find their GCP.

Then let’s make it obvious and include it in the training.
I'm coming to wonder if tools like Anki are even detrimental for most learning tasks. Because SRS is built around rote memorizing a bunch of isolated factoids, while the most important part of mastering most subjects is not memorizing facts, it's learning interactions and patterns that let you make use of those facts.

Like, imagine if someone learning to program put a huge amount of their effort into using flashcards to memorize the functions in their preferred language's standard library. I think most people would agree that this person is wasting their time because IDE tooling and Internet searches make it really easy to look up that information on an as-needed basis. So the real effort should be put into learning skills like domain modeling or how to read and debug code.

I think that the same principle might apply to most subjects. Even in language learning, one of the places where SRS is most popular. Academics seem to be pretty skeptical of using any sort of flashcarding to learn vocabulary. In part because the empirical evidence doesn't actually seem to support it, and in part on theoretical grounds. The contemporary model for how the brain models language is fundamentally connectionist. Definitions and lemmas aren't something we naturally memorize as a list of facts and then plug into a grammar, which is why native speakers often have difficulty reciting conjugation tables or defining words.

I think that formal education's tendency toward representing subjects as lists of factoids is fundamentally another manifestation of the McNamara Fallacy (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/McNamara_fallacy). As long as educators have a mandate to (ostensibly) objectively quantify students' progress with grades and scores, they will have a need to represent the subject manner in a manner that permits easy quantification. And they will have to do so regardless of whether it actually makes sense to do so for whatever subject they're teaching.

Hi from New England, middle-of-the-plate buddy. In fact, it had never occurred to me that the mapping of parts of the ground to, like, latitude-longitude could be time dependent, haha. I guess this could make a big difference in surveying.

I have a PhD in computer engineering, focusing on operations research (OR). I specialize in consulting and advising on OR matters for startups. In short, I can translate a real-world problem into a mathematical model that can be solved via integer programming, constraint programming, or other optimization methods. My goal is to provide a production-ready solution for any type of problem you might have related to OR.

For example, I've been contracted by a company to create a user-tunable, multi-objective optimization model for the automatic selection of indexes in Postgres databases.

For anyone unfamiliar with the concepts, I also want to point that some of the Taylor Swift fan's money is also going to the obscure independent jazz artist, despite never listening to them.

People sometimes assume that the user-centric model automatically favors the indie artist, but that's not really true. It favors artists whose fans listen to fewer streams per month than average, whether the artists themselves are popular or not.

All of these ATC feeds are from SDR stations close by that monitor the same frequencies. Your local airport sounds better because someone has a better SDR rig to receive it.

Catalyst looks pretty neat. I decided not to go with any kind of component system for the latest iteration of my blog / personal site, and overall I like that decision - I know how everything on the site works, and I just write articles in plain HTML. I really enjoy the flexibility I get from this approach, and it's allowed me to do some neat layout things on certain articles without having to figure out how to escape from the context of a SSG or whatever.

I will say, though, that there's a bit more manual labor involved in setting up a page and writing content than I would prefer. In some of my articles it would have definitely saved time to just write the content in markdown, and there are a few repeated components on each page that would definitely be nice to extract out.

So anyway, maybe some kind of minor refactor is in order - although every time I consider doing this, I try to remind myself that actually writing / making content is the more important thing to spend time on. Maybe if I ever get to the point where I'm writing multiple posts a week it would be worth optimizing the workflow more.
