The easiest thing people can do these days is to take georeferenced photographs with their phones, best with a photo app that will record the direction the phone was pointing, for example OpenCamera on Android. Then take their time and then add the information either with iD (the javascript based editor on openstreetmap.org) on a desktop (or JOSM if they are savy enough), or on either of the mobile editors, but most importantly sitting down in peace and quiet.

While direct entry (on the phone) is what I would do and would recommend for anybody that already knows the ropes, it is going to be overwhelming for a beginner.

PS: I was commenting on the whole thread, and if you look through it you will see Steve mentioned as the OSM savant.
Would a 1 year ban for H1B for Apple be that big of a problem after a "significant" layoff?

> You understand paper and pen. It's right there.

You think you do, but then you look into the 2000 Bush-Gore election. We'll never know who actually won because of hanging chads.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2000_United_States_presidentia...

It could happen with any analog system. If it's fill-in-the-bubble, how do you count underfils? Or one candidate fully filled and the opponent slightly filled? When you get 10M pen and paper samples, you'll get sampling errors, and in a close election, there won't be a clear winner.
The rub is the thinking a length of 4 maps to four points when in reality, the points are 4,3,2,1,0, totaling 5. I feel like this could all be helped if in casual counting we started at zero, then our entire concept of where the measurements start would be more in line with math. I think often about these fundamental conflicts in how we casually think about numbers and how they are actually modeled in math
No - per the article he emerged from the bathroom and was walking around thinking he would be able to find a seat. He might have made it if he actually just stayed in the bathroom.
Honestly IMO it's more an enabler for CVEs - it provides a mechanism for attackers to get arbitrary code exec if they can circumvent the protections on modifications to the JIT region - the bugs that are the root of the exploit seem to mostly be GC issues (which makes sense as GC issues give you various analogies to OoB, type confusion, UaF, etc that are the basic units of exploits).
I'm making an app with a Typescript+React front end and a Go back end. While in local development, I serve it with Vite. Could I use Deno in place of Vite+Node?
That is not the case. Indentured servitude is labor that was paid for in advance by some service provided - e.g. passage to another country. Just because payment was received in the past, or that it was in-kind, doesn't mean the labor isn't paid labor.
The BYTE_STREAM_SPLIT is a Z-order (also known as Morton encoding).
As it is better a preserving locality, it usually performs really well compared to classical "orthogonal" orders.
It also is really simple to implement as it boils down to interleaving bits or bytes.
"What we do know is that, even after billions of years of evolution, not a single rock has evolved to exhibit a sign of intelligence."

Is it even appropriate to apply "after billions of years of evolution" to rocks? Rocks don't evolve. Evolution can't act on them.

And, we aren't generally looking to "evolve" AI, so it's kinda a moot point there, too.

What is it about animation that, to you, is important for intelligence? Presumably it's the training data + agency, but.. are these not possible without physical-world "animation"?

But also: how come AI can't be animated?

I also, on the topic of tech details, make extensive use of the new scroll-timeline stuff which lets you tie CSS animations to the scroll position. it has only landed in chrome at the moment (as of maybe February) so I just use it as a progressive enhancement but it's very cool and performant.

That is clearly nonsense, as the results of performing the arithmetic still need to be written back to memory, so it's just a swap with extra operations. See also the xor-swap.
He has a very checkered history with "hacking" things.

He tends to build heavily on the work of others, then use it to shamelessly self-promote, often to the massive detriment of the original authors. His PS3 work was based almost completely on a presentation given by fail0verflow at CCC. His subsequent self-promotion grandstanding world tour led to Sony suing both him and fail0verflow, an outcome they were specifically trying to avoid: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25679907

In iPhone land, he decided to parade around a variety of leaked documentation, endangering the original sources and leading to a fragmentation in the early iPhone hacking scene, which he then again exploited to build on the work of others for his own self-promotion: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39667273

This is why I sometimes wonder why I don't fit into that mindset at all.

What happened to me that makes me not care about social media/networking and showing/proving/advertising to others what I have or do etc.

The only validation I feel that I need is my own.

So naturally it just makes it hard to understand other people's motivations in this when I am apparently missing that piece.

Even in Midnight Express, it is the American who kills the Turk in the end. And one of the antagonists helping to enforce the draconian law is an American.
So would I, but I’m uncomfortable with that tone even in reading, let alone writing. Just an observation, something that jumped out.
To me what you're saying sounds like slavery. Those immigrants are also humans, just like you, who may fall in love. If they lived 5/7 years in the US (for example, they did a PhD) and met someone and fell in love, it is inhuman and very stupid to me to expect them to think about it and possibly reject the love and the relationship just because they might loose their visa in the future. Imagine telling someone I can't be with you because I might not have a visa in 3 years from now and be kicked out of the country!!!

An immigrant has the right to live a life with dignity and not be deprived from human experience and oppressed and exploited just to have a chance to stay in the country and get a visa. What's shocking to me is that you think such a person is stupid!! Are you okay?
That’s great to hear. The OSM website hides the Edit link on my phone and I’d inferred that iD must therefore not be sufficiently usable on mobile.

I am using it for a new project as my first contact with this approach (long time Ansible user). So far it is great, both tofu cli, actual execution and vscode plugin.

But I'm curious about the providers ecosystem. Isn't that the weak link in this project? Biggest ones are actually developed by Hashicorp and not the big 3 cloud vendors. I also failed to find any independent docs on them, just a huge pile of folders in GitHub with basically no interface nor description what is what.

So while I use OpenTofu I still really fully on terraform docs.

Are there similar resources within OpenTofu project?
This matches my own take. I've tuned into a few of his streams and watched VODs on YouTube. I am consistently underwhelmed by his actual engineering abilities. He is that particular kind of engineer that constantly shits on other peoples code or on the general state of programming yet his actual code is often horrendous. He will literally call someone out for some code in Tinygrad that he has trouble with and then he will go on a tangent to attempt to rewrite it. He will use the most blatant and terrible hacks only to find himself out of his depth and reverting back to the original version.

But his streams last 4 hours or more. And he just keeps grinding and grinding and grinding. What the man lacks in raw intellectual power he makes up for (and more) in persistence and resilience. As long as he is making even the tiniest progress he just doesn't give up until he forces the computer to do whatever it is he wants it to do. He also has no boundaries on where his investigations take him. Driver code, OS code, platform code, framework code, etc.

I definitely couldn't work with him (or work for him) since I cannot stand people who degrade the work of others while themselves turning in sub-par work as if their own shit didn't stink. But I begrudgingly admire his tenacity, his single minded focus, and the results that his belligerent approach help him to obtain.
What's the easiest way for an H1b holder to work on their own startup and control their company? I've heard of VC like Unshackled, but taking VC seed is already shackling myself. I'm looking more for a solution where I'd pay some fee to a lawyer and turnkey solution for a company structure setup.
Not having your country days away from starving if international shipping were disrupted isn't fascism, it's just common sense. Every country that can practically manage to have sufficient domestic food production will do so.
> In reality, it is nothing more than memoization of function calls into an array.

No, it's the next step after memoization.

Recursion is the slowest approach of implementing many algorithms, as it will duplicate a lot of computation of subproblems. It solves a lot of subproblems many times.

Memoization is a cheap fix, it will not solve subproblems multiple times. It stores subproblems it has already solved, along with the solution. But it has an increasingly large state, keeping solutions of subproblems in memory which are actually no longer needed.

Dynamic programming is a manipulation on algorithms relying on memoization. It takes such an algorithm, and it makes the state as small as possible. So solutions of subproblems are discarded when they are no longer needed.

Like in memoization, dynamic programming will keep around previous subproblem solutions. But it will only keep the ones around it still needs in the future, and discard what is no longer needed. This often requires a change in representation of that state and in the order in which the subproblems are solved. But it will run much faster than recursion, on less memory than memoized approaches.
use the character 'v' to separate sections? That would solve that problem, and it isn't a hex character

If you are scared of messing with electricity like I am, instead of using power monitoring, another viable but less reliable option is to use vibration sensors.

I picked up a simple Zigbee vibration sensor for less than 20$, taped it on top of the washer/dryer, and connected it to HomeAssistant using Zigbee2MQTT. After creating two automations to detect start/stop based on continuous vibrations over a few minutes, I had the notifications working the exact same way.
Solution is quite simple - rewire the dryer's jingle circuit to electrically trigger play for a pre-recorded "Hey Alexa! Notify my owner that drying is complete" cassette record on an old portable Walkman. Install Amazon speaker nearby to react on this.
My team and I strive to create software dramatically better at security and privacy than anything else that exists, but we offer support exclusively on Matrix and bridged rooms to IRC.

We offer free software and free support. We do not feel it is an unreasonable ask that people use open standards to collaborate with us on open software.

Many have created accounts on Matrix because they wanted our help. It works.
Insulation pays back over a long enough time horizon (economically or CO2 wise). Although spray foam at the moment does have a large CO2 impact. If someone is putting in way too much insulation then we could say that the last 30% of insulation wasn't worth it. When people say something won't payback economically on a home, they are usually looking at a time frame of 10 years or less.

In this case the insulation itself will probably payback quickly. The problem is the cost of re-siding the house to get the insulation in- likely similar for CO2 impact.

Showing IDs would work, but also training employees not to assume a warning is a glitch would have prevented him from boarding. If they took the time verify that the original person had already scanned their ticket, they would have noticed something was wrong.

EDIT: this is assuming that the warning is not routinely ignored (i.e. there's actually a bug in the system and it would slow down boarding time since it happens so frequently.) If that were the case... they should fix their system lol
Most heat pumps mounts I've seen have rubber grommets but older heat pumps will make audible noise as they wear out.
I'm trying my hand at organizing mapping events. In fact I'm doing one tomorrow by coincidence. The first few, I agonized over making sure everything was prepared, I have an agenda for how I think things will go.

It's pointless. People are doing their own thing. One guy came with a phone without an Internet connection so we couldn't even edit the same area without saving over each other. He had to upload later and deal with the conflicts.

At least, it's pointless for me. I guess I need a firmer hand or something. Or maybe it's because I'm not in a heavy population center (it's questionable that I could even start an OSM community here) and I'm at the mercy of whoever I can even get to show up. In Delhi I'm sure it's different.

At this point I'm just going to aim for regular events, minimal planning on my part, less stress and more energy for more events. We'll figure it out as we go, as we end up doing anyway. Tomorrow is my first event with that approach, we'll see how it goes. I only have two other people showing up, so it should be simple.

That's not so much an immigration question but be careful about incorporating and creating products while currently employed because your current employer might have a claim over your IP. If the question is when can I/should I incorporate without crossing any immigration line and when should I get a work authorization through this company, then the act of incorporating isn't the issue, the question is whether your activities and the business's activities require work authorization and there are both legal and non-legal lines that shouldn't be crossed. The primary non-legal guideline is when a a gut level, the activities are no longer a sideline but a business, a focus of what you do. The primary legal guideline is when the company is starting to generate revenue. In both instances, you should look to move to a work authorization status.

Technically - it's a compiler plugin: it augments build artifacts, so that extracting text from the app into JSON files for further translation is no longer required.

Show HN: Using Google Sheets as the back end/APIs of your app
Hello everyone!

At a company I worked for, we needed to develop an MVP (basically a web page) and apply certain business logic to a Google Drive spreadsheet that was frequently updated by the Sales team.

In this case, we had two options:

Develop a backend to replace the current spreadsheet and have the sales team use it as a new "backoffice" - This would take a very long time, and if the hypothesis we were testing was wrong, it would be time wasted.

Create the web page and use Google's SDK to extract data from the spreadsheet.

We chose to go with the second option because it was quicker. Indeed, it was much faster than creating a new backoffice. But not as quick as we imagined. Integrating with Google's SDK requires some effort, especially to handle the OAuth logic, configure it in the console, and understand the documentation (which is quite shallow, by the way).

Anyway! We did the project and I realized that maybe other devs might have encountered similar issues. Therefore, I developed a tool that transforms Google spreadsheets into "realtime APIs" with PATCH, GET, POST, and DELETE methods.

Since it's a product for devs, I think it would be cool to hear your opinions. It's still quite primitive, but the basic features already work.

I've been told this directly by project maintainers when filing bug reports (usually along the lines of "PRs welcome"), so it's not just that seeing this stuff on the internet puts me off from contributing in general. It's that people tend to respond directly with it whenever I come near their project.

I do still contribute to free software from time to time.

Small Ukrainian plane likely used in attack deep inside Russia: experts
No need to hypothesize about how it would work. Australia uses pen and paper for elections. It works fine.
I bet passengers do this often enough.

You're traveling as a family. You print boarding passes and distribute them to everybody. Somebody loses theirs. So you print new copies, but you don't necessarily give people the same seat number as the first time.

When boarding the plane, one of you reaches into their bag and grabs the one they thought they had lost. So two of your family members are using the same pass, and one is going unused.

No harm is caused because the number of passengers on the plane is still as expected, and the family is able to figure out for themselves who takes which seat.
