Chicago has that, but only in some directions. The south and southwest suburbs continue the city numbering out for a long way; the northwest suburbs all have their own numbering. I think most of the north suburbs are also on their own (but possibly the innermost ones share the city grid). Not sure about west. :)

Au contraire, if you become sanctioned or illegal, both would necessarily have to terminate simultaneously, if the cloud providers want to comply with local laws.

Would be nice if you ask the same question twice, it would look in previous "stored questions" or not for your previous answer if you need to reuse an old answer. I found it tedious to look for an old answer I need in old conversations.
Did all this arise because multiple smaller towns with their own survey grids got absorbed into the city at some point, or did the different alignments happen within an already-extant Minneapolis?

> The big 3 US carriers basically tell you that data used by the phone is unlimited with no significant throttling,

AT&T definitely throttles you (and sends threatening messages) if (for example) you get a new iPhone and your apps and music library start syncing to it (as they might.)

Note by default apps over 200MB aren't downloaded over cellular, but if you have a lot of ~200MB apps that can still add up quickly...

I miss the days when you could actually back up your apps (as well as their data) to local storage. I still have copies of apps (most of which paid Apple money for) which have been removed from the app store, or no longer work on current iOS. ;-(
Great, I didn't know about this type of tools, thanks
The post just reads as a product placement.

Of course, some technique is required to setup one’s gear but that’s part of the experience and allows one to do things this kind of automated telescopes can’t.

Also, if the goal is to look at pretty renders - you can do that online, no telescope required.
Reducing the size of a vehicle does little to reduce the price. Size is mostly just sheet metal, which is cheap, and air, which is free. Most consumers don't want to be squeezed into a tiny penalty box, especially on longer trips.

If you want a vehicle that's $10K cheaper then the manufacturer will have to cut a lot of the comfort and safety features that US consumers have come to expect. Those who want cheap vehicles just buy used.
I remember was using an old version around the time just before the recent Pandemic. Balsamiq went with the current trend and is focusing on subscription/saas model targeting businesses. Peldi also seem to have retired or is semi-retired.

It seems like they implemented permission checks purely in the frontend, and not just on one endpoint, but almost everywhere.

While it is conceptually easy to avoid this, I have seen similar mistakes much more frequently than I would like to admit.

Edit: the solution "check all permissions on the backend" reminds me of the solution to buffer overflows: "just add bounds checks everywhere". It's clear to the community at large what needs to be done, but getting everyone to apply this consistently is... not so easy.

I mean, rights are rights. In that regard there’s no difference between the two. 2nd amendment does not specify the type of arms nor the age at which your right to keep and bear them begins. Indeed until 1968 there was no consistent age limit for gun ownership.

I never suggested using AI. You've confused the topic. I simply asked who was animated with hand drawn cells. Switching to a 3D animated but cell rendered output has nothing to do with AI. Just look at Beauty and the Beast. Look at Archer. Look at so many anime titles. Hand drawn/painted cells was just not practical, and the whole industry changed.

None of that suggests using AI.
I love my Seestar. After fumbling about and trying to get into astrophotography it was a great intro to the sky.

> The way to do that is to have `netip.ParseAddrPort` failures return a different error type than other methods

No. Absolutely not. If you leave the callers of this hypothetical function to rely on the errors of the functions it calls, even if we assume those functions were written by an infallible deity, you've created a coupling that now binds you to the implementation forevermore. That's just plain reckless behaviour.

Return your own errors. I know it takes a tiny amount of extra thinking to figure out what types are relevant to your function, but is unquestionably worthwhile and would still be worthwhile even if all the functions you call were designed by an infallible entity.

> but the "idiomatic" go code

You're really stretching the use of idiomatic here. Not ever has that been considered idiomatic Go. The Go community has always been clear that you should never, ever write code like that. It is so painfully horrid for so many reasons that it could never be considered idiomatic.
I am still using Balsamiq for low-fi wireframes and low-fi prototyping. Mostly for desktop application development these days. Absolutely love it. Desktop version is still mostly on par with its subscription model counterpart, only major difference being collaboration thingies.

Maybe I am missing something here, but why would you run "AI" on that task when you go from formal language to formal language?

I don't get the usage of "regex/heuristics" either. Why can that task not be completely handled by a classical algorithm?

Once they release 2024.3 I probably will! They are definitely saying all the right things. I filled out their user survey and was pleased to see UI/UX at the top of the responses. If they start delivering meaningful UI revamp I will certainly send them some money - I cannot express how much I want a KiCAD equivalent for mechanical CAD to exist.

Oprah Winfrey Interview on Her ABC Special 'AI and the Future of Us'
I think that most applications are written for their database. Their database defines their application.

If you write your application on a flimsy database then your application becomes equally flimsy. All of your business constraints become flimsy because your source-of-truth (the database) is flimsy.

SQLite is flimsy by design.
A hacker on hacker news‽

But yeah this is why I'm arguing for no filtering by default and why I believe the best designs are the most flexible ones. Because any time I think "nobody would need that" I find a world of people I didn't know about. You can't ever predict the usage, so flexibility and defaults aren't about what fits most people's use cases but what can be easily modified to use cases of any group. I'm definitely too dumb to figure out what everyone actually needs lol

I've had similar dinning experience, where they would take the carcass and prepare a soup from it after carving meat. However, they didn't promise that your soup would only come from your duck. I got interested because if I had to prepare that soup by myself it would have taken at least one hour, but they brought it out in 10 minutes.
I absolutely believe that these per-chain apps collect gobs of data, but I'm curious as to how valuable that actually is for them.

Any idea what the going rate is for the kind of data that could feasibly be collected from restaurant apps?
Not sure that old internet was better, it was too slow for the most interesting imagined uses, but unlike today's internet users were invited to imagine many possibilities for how it could be used. Today, so-called "tech" companies, basically incorporated websites that have reached absurd, unmanageable sizes and are used to do things people in the 90s and early 00s would never have imagined using websites to do, have attempted monopolise and commercialise all those possibilities.

The internet has sadly become synonymous with the web for the majority internet users and this web is infested with middlemen, so-called "tech" companies, that refuse to honour that any internet user would ever imagine their own possibilities for usage of their netwwork subscription, e.g., non-commercial usage. These middlemen purport to determine how the network should and will be used. There is nothing left for the internet subscriber to imagine, no decisions to make. All usage is predictable, pre-determined by the so-called "tech" companies. They want internet subscribers to believe an internet subscription alone provides no value; all value resides in the middlemen that wait for subscribers on the network, lure them in, surveil them and serve them ads. To add insult to injury, they coerce internet subscribers into "subscribing" to websites!

With internet speeds today, those possibilities some of us imagined in the 90s and 00s are now possible. The problem is so-called "tech" companies stand in the way. Attempting to intermediate anything and everything.
Why wouldn't it? All but the smallest airports have an effect on interstate commerce 6 virtue of flights going to other states.
Based on empirical data, new buildings, as they relate to multifamily dwellings, have little to no sound insulation. Older buildings are probably better in that regard.

Which things? I was never able to get good photos of faint object with my manual telescope. With EV scopes it's easy. And you really can't do much more than planetary astronomy with your Mk1 eyeballs.

This was the kind of thing people used to say about MySQL before Meta made those arguments look silly, and so they've moved to SQLite as a new target. I like Postgres fine, but it's just a tool, like many others.

It's difficult to call Madhava's work calculus as we know it. He and his school certainly made huge contributions to analysis of infinite series, but they did not develop that into a unifying framework. It's important to note that no mathematics is done in a vacuum, if Newton/Leibniz "invented" Calculus, it's by building on top of hundreds of years of work done throughout the world.
I used the app briefly a few months prior to their discovery. The app was riddled with bugs. Things like chats not loading (received the push notification, but in the app not visible until force quit/reload). I’m not surprised it took them so long to remediate.

Great article, thanks for the link.

Interesting (cherry-picked for maximum outrage) excerpts:

In a report tabled in parliament by the Ombudsman in February 2021 (covering the period from 1 July 2018 to 30 June 2019) all agencies investigated were found to have accessed Australians’ metadata without the proper authorisation. “We identified instances at all inspections in 2018-19 where agencies had accessed telecommunications data without proper authority. As such, the disclosure of the data was unauthorised,”.

The committee heard that while mandatory data-retention laws permit just 21 agencies to access the metadata, more than 87 other entities — including councils, the Victorian Institute of Education, the RSPCA and the South Australian fisheries department — have used section 280 to gain access.

(Unrelated side note: this is the same country wanting to be given backdoor keys to encrypted communications).
Yeah, with the current cost of 10TB 3.5" HDDs, you could probably buy 10-20 of them for the cost of the LTO solution.
“instead of giving users a real-time live view of distant celestial objects through an eyepiece they use pre-determined image settings (for ISO and exposure) and then live image-stack for clarity, pushing ever-improving images to connected smartphones and tablets”

If the car cannot be driven at a certain speed, then they should limit its speed artificially and advertise its limitations transparently. Otherwise it is their fault and they should still honor warranty claims.

Leaving that aside, I still consider it a violation of privacy. No one expects that what they do with something they own is being monitored and recorded in order to be used against them at some opportune moment.

As for data brokers, the allegations are that they sell data to Lexis Nexis who then sells it to insurance companies and potentially others.

As for what other companies do … I don’t own a Tesla but I sort of expect a car with futuristic self driving capabilities to come with some degree of data collection. I don’t expect a basic Kia or Subaru or Ford or Honda to do that. Either way, I believe all of these vehicles should not collect any data by default and should be opt in only.
It could just be the start of a network to play with and build on.

In a home, having this kind of a setup is akin to installing appliances that can be set, forgot, and relied on more and more. Everything can have a fast connection, and if enough people work from home, etc, it can be really useful.

There's always ways to make do, and have failover, or backup internet, but in reality, it can be worth it to look at plug and play for home like this to not rely on anything.

Ubiquiti has taken it's lumps recently, but their stuff is still generally OK for home. Other providers like TP-Link with their OMADA setup are quite decent too, it's always possible to go full pfSense, or better yet, as an appliance, just buy a Netgate switch that can do a lot relatively for great bang for the buck.

I have recently used a Ubiquity Dream Machine Pro SE, and it's super decent for any small office or home setup. It just kind of runs, and you can reasonably run and segment a fair bit. It's too bad the new hardware took a step back in what the software allowed but it looks like they're adding the features each release little by little.

A lot of hardware for homelabs can increasingly get into issues with licensing, updates, etc. Once we are beyond 2.5 Gbit fibre into most homes, the jump to 10 Gig equipment and beyond and how to slice and dice it has fewer options.

I would today, not purchase any 1Gbit or 2.5Gbit fibre network hardware. Speeds are increasing, too fast. My homelab might have an older switch one day that an handle multiple 10gig fibre runs, both inside and maybe coming inside.

Having a part of a homelab that is like an appliance (largely set and forget), it can let you have more time to experiment with the experimental.

Production grade in a homelab can be possible too, where others might rely on it. Don't want that getting in the way of homelabbing.
I disagree, but mostly just in the present. Sometimes I take an active approach to getting unconstructive communication out of where my eyes naturally go. It's rare. It's a feeling in a moment in a context as kind as I can possibly be.

There is a distinct Postgres entity which doesn't upsell, that's true. But looking at https://www.postgresql.org/community/contributors/ it seems like most of the actual people are employed to work on Postgres by companies who sell, among other things, proprietary Postgres derivatives and tooling. Maybe if one company came to dominate the list we'd be in trouble..
This is a really good observation!

Now that you point it out - it's very similar to what Microsoft has been doing with Windows for the past few years - pushing users harder and harder to create accounts in order to use Windows (by leveraging their monopoly). Hardware vs software, sure, but similar principle.

Regulation is a sharp knife that is hard to wield properly, but we're well past the point of needing it here.
Note: the latest OpenWrt on rack-grade routers is significantly more secure than proprietary, backdoored firewall appliances. I haven't really used Netgear/pfense but I reckon it wouldn't be much of improvement.

VLAN are perhaps the most important aspect of a network, and honestly I would start with it: tag the ports, bonding if necessary, and figure out IPv6-PD and resolve topology for it all, so that downstream DNS is easily configurable.
Fibre cables are not expensive, they are even cheaper than Cat6. Transceivers are a bit expensive, but got a lot cheaper than they used to be, still they are really cheap compared to other house build/remodel costs. The only issue is that you can't do power over fibre so it's inconvenient for putting wifi APs, cameras, and other powered devices.
I think it's a good idea, it's generally more price reasonable than 20 years ago.

Hell, there was probably a time where ethernet was too expensive to put into a house.

It really depends on the player and the game.

I could imagine being disappointed by a player who uses a game guide to speed through the shortest path in a game and then complains that the game is too short (or that the puzzles are too easy.)

Or by MMO players who spend 200 hours completing quests in a new expansion and then complain that there wasn't enough new content.
