Hello, I'm currently integrating, refactoring and fixing the original code, in the context of this branch: https://github.com/antirez/redis/commits/geo

So far the code was simplified and polished, fixed (it did not returned the right set of elements in all the cases), GEORADIUS speed was improved.

On the other side I removed all the JSON things and the Pub/Sub (IMHO is interesting to subscribe to areas to see objects entering/exiting them, not much to position updates since it's the same of doing PUBLISH+GEOADD from the client side).

Added: GEOHASH to return a Geohash standard string from of a given element, mainly for interoperability. I'm also adding GEODIST (to calculate distances) and GEOPOS (to retrieve latitude/longitude of objects without the need to query for radius).

The work will be available in the context of Redis 3.2, unless I get mad and merge back into 3.0, which is unlikely but not impossible.

EDIT: before of three days ago I was not aware of Geohashing at all, so if you have five mins to check the code, I'll be glad :-) Thanks. I'm pretty confident that it's ok now after I added a fuzzy test that replicates the feature (by brute forcing distance computation) in Tcl that checks against the Redis output, but still...

EDIT2: wanted to add that I'm very glad Matt efforts are not going to be wasted and we are finally merging this.
It is IETF standard.

There may not be an alternative, but that doesn't mean it isn't snake-oil. (It doesn't mean it is either. Those two things are independent)

But, what he's saying has a good point, whether or not textio is snakeoil: it's better to have numbers other people can compare to, even if the method for determining those numbers isn't made public.
The reason why Uber and Airbnb are able to succeed, at least in NYC (and perhaps SF, ....) is the use of politics to create artificial scarcity ("rent seeking"). In NYC there is an artificial limit on Taxi Medallions so that a medallion until recently could cost $1 million. Housing and hotel costs are so high because of zoning laws that have unrealistic and artificial housing density restrictions, thus increasing the cost of land, thus increasing the cost of housing and office space.

Harvard Economist Edward Glaeser (cited by Nobelist Paul Krugman and others) wrote this: (Build Big Bill)

http://www.nydailynews.com/opinion/build-big-bill-article-1....

Thus, Uber and Airbnb owe much of their success to addressing market inefficiencies, "rent seeking" introduced by bad laws which serve special interests at the cost to people who take taxis, rent and buy apartments, and rent office space.
"Honestly dude, do the fucking research. Read the IPCC. Hell even Wikipedia has the fundamentals extremely well explained. We know very, stupid well what's causing the climate to change. CO2 concentration is not just a correlation in the models, but has a directly observable physical effect that has been known about in labs and was later shown to be the primary reason for global warming."

Again, "Do the fucking research" is not a debate.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Little_Ice_Age

It's interesting that we had a major climate change before the industrial revolution and we still don't underestand completely how it happened.

Maybe I'm just smarter than most climate scientists? After all the number fudging that has happened in the last few weeks (and during climate gate), I think it might just be the case.
Since you've been on both sides, what would be your advice?
Huh, TIL. What's the expression I'm thinking of for putting your bet solely on one thing? I could've sworn it was that but clearly it's not.
"Every law enforcement officer I've talked with at length has been an intelligent person."

This could be selection bias at work. Perhaps you terminate conversations with less intelligent officers earlier, without realising the reason you do so. So, these less intelligent ones are forgotten, or removed from your sample because the conversation was not long enough to find strong evidence about intelligence.

This is not an inconvenient data problem. That the ends of past ice ages were not caused by a rising atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration but instead caused it with some lag does not at all proof that a rising atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration can not cause rising atmospheric temperatures.

For example - completely made up - a change in the orbit of the earth could cause rising temperatures and therefore the end of an ice age. This could then free carbon dioxide trapped in or under the now melting snow and ice and in turn this change in the composition of the atmosphere could additionally contribute to the rising temperatures.

"still looks to be strong"

As you know, you can't tell that from this picture. An area that has had large annual population decreases for the first 5 years, and slower growth for the second 5 will still show up as red.

Also, quite a bit of the population decreases in the countryside will be of people moving into the cities.

Because of differences in population density, that can give the impression of population decline where there is none.

Looking at Germany, for me the picture 'confirms' that their population is shrinking (no growth in the west, apparent decrease in the east) that makes the strong growth of their economy in the past years even more of a miracle.
I was reacting in surprise, because all I saw was the Jobvite job listing, and its echo listings on the other job boards. I had a much more positive experience with the code exercise.

My experience is that what you hear is true, that you shouldn't spend significant time on job listings. The problem is that every other technique available to me had long odds. Professional network? Non-existent. MeetUps? Most people I met there have similar problems. Lunchcruit or similar gimmicks? No response, not even a lunch. I feel like I just got lucky that mavelikara gave me a chance, and I intend not to waste it.
I am in the Bay Area and I would not budget anything less than 3 months start-to-finish for a job hunt. Companies are flaky, they don't get back to you, many have job postings but are just fishing (not serious about hiring). Most don't talk comp until late in the process so you could go down a rabbit hole with a company and find out their salary expectations are way out of line with yours. You could easily burn through months.

There exists a physical mechanism by which relatively small amounts of greenhouse gases warm the atmosphere. Do you question this?

Thank you for the comments everyone. Here is the post I wrote before I posted this https://goo.gl/hA6VgA
Yeah, I'm sure you have the time, inclination and expertise to look over billions of data points and make your own conclusions.
This is going to sound harsh, but what you are doing is exactly what climate denialists do.

You question on correlation of variables has not only been asked; it has been reformulated tens of thousands of times by climate scientists and experts in all sorts of related fields.

By asking a question like this you're directly undermining the quality of reasearch that has been extremely solid on the matter. Correlation of variables would be an issue if we were just looking at data to infer an explanation. Physicists have known the effects of radiative forcing of CO2 and methane because it has been observed in laboratory settings, and that knowledge has been extrapolated to models of the entire world.

The equation of "heat in, heat out" corresponds exactly as predicted. Of course, the Earth's atmosphere and ocean are so complex that this effect is not seen uniformly. The challenge is in accounting what heats up and how quickly. We know, for example, that the oceans hold far more heat than the atmosphere. We're in the process of understanding how ocean currents affect and are affected by that. But overall there is no possibility of debate as to how CO2 affects the atmosphere and oceans. The thing is that the nuances are so significant for having a useful understanding of climate that many details are still missing. What we do know has been extremely useful and clarifying of how these events are going to play out.

Option e) appears to be what CACert is currently going with: http://wiki.cacert.org/SystemAdministration/Systems/Signer
You "addressed" it by referring to "studies" that you didn't cite. There are studies that go both directions on the question, none of which have good enough methodology to be worth more than a tiny update in either direction. Most of the studies are about extremely weak type systems (C, Java, etc.), and therefore don't provide any evidence at all about type systems that are stronger than Java but weaker than dependent types (e.g. Swift, Rust, Haskell, etc).

Meanwhile we have a lot of people who have used both weak type systems and strong type systems who claim that strong type systems make their jobs dramatically easier, and we have a lot of people who have only used weak type systems who claim the opposite. Take a survey of people who have actually done non-trivial work using a language with a good type system, and you'll get very clear results about their view of the benefits. Clearly an RCT would be better, but given that training takes a long time, that just isn't feasible.
This is hardly unexpected. As water warms, the solubility of various gases decreases. I.e., if you exogenously warm up the ocean, it will release CO2 and other trace gases into the atmosphere. I'm pretty sure you could get the same pattern for Argon and other (non-greenouse) trace gases.
I love Erlang releases and am very happy about the improvements to maps. I have to admit the OTP motto of "move slow and never break anything" always leaves me wanting more (though).
Shows percent change... but not the magnitude of the change.

Seeing a map that combined both percentage and magnitude to compute the colors (perhaps similar to the Tf–idf calculation?) would be much more interpretable. 50% of people leaving the middle of a forest doesn't really tell me much, versus 50% change in a dense city.
Who have you been talking to?

Why do you think North Africans move to Europe and South Americans move to the US? Because it's the closest country with the best economic opportunities.

Economic immigration is huge. Cultural immigration is tiny.

In fact American culture is the joke of the world (its media can be consumed from wherever and is quite popular, but its values and policies on things like health care, sexual education, religion, crime etc are mocked by more than a few modern economies) and its institutions (e.g. ensuring freedom of speech, freedom of the press, gender equality, life expectancy, racism, gay rights) usually don't find themselves ranked among the top 20, let alone top 10 of countries.

In fact, it's one of the main reasons I wouldn't want to move to the US. I'm in the Netherlands, my partner is American, we could move anytime. But I much prefer the politics, institutions and culture here. (and it's far from perfect here).

I mean you write 'share a wide agreement for rule of law, want to resolve issues through the political process, can usually be shamed into supporting freedom of speech, and don't want to kill their neighbors for having the wrong religion' as if the US is unique in this regard. You write it as if the poorest people on the planet simply want to move to a country that 'doesn't kill its neighbours for having the right religion', as if this is the nr 1 thing on their mind, if only they could move to such a country! That's ridiculous, as opposed to wanting to move to the US for economic opportunities to get a decent standard of life for them and their family.

These are great questions, but they have nothing to do with the reality of what's happening. Unfortunately, we're distracted from this very important conversation if we do not agree on the basic facts.
Unfortunately, in the past 5 years we have begun to understand the possibility that runaway greenhouse events from methane release are a not-insignificant detail which most models do not account for.

Researchers who have been working on that area have basically said that if the conditions for oceanic methane clathrate relase is met, everything could change in the span of two decades.

Paul,

I disagree with your points on climate science, but I do agree there's a bit of overreaction to what could be honest questions. However maybe this explains the response:

* Your questions do seem a little like assertions with question marks at the end, because they repeat some climate denial propaganda. In fairness, maybe that's all you've read (Suggestion: Don't get your climate science from mainstream media that is at all politicized (e.g., most UK newspapers, Fox, Huffington Post, etc.) It's a waste of time and misinformation. Try Nature (nature.com), Science (sciencemag.org), New Scientist, Scientific American; even the NY Times is better, though IME very incomplete).

* Many of the questions are easily answered with a little research, which make them look more like assertions and not like questions from someone interested in learning.

* Unfortunately, easily researched questions that repeat inflamatory propaganda don't add much to the conversation.

Perhaps on a less inflamatory subject, where others were less tired of propaganda and less concerned with it taking over the conversation, nobody would have downvoted you.
Thanks. Very cool!

I have a question that I haven't seen address in the article. Does the code always assume the "sphere" is Earth or can you provide geometric information for other geometries?
Exactly what I was saying. The map is terribly hard to interpret unless you can make a rough guess of how many people live in each tiny segment.
Maybe we can do something, but what? Do we build walls around the cities so they don't flood, or do we set up a scheme where developing countries pay a ransom to rich countries so they can continue to pollute, while rich countries starve their poor citizens of affordable energy while funnelling tax money into companies owned by rich citizens to do R&D work on energy sources that won't be viable on a large scale for decades, if ever?

I'm all for the walls, but the money that drives governments don't seem to agree.
Ah thank you for sharing. Wish I had access to something like this when I was in college. Might I ask what the textbook/s were for this course?
The amount of water used globally (approx 10^13 m^3) is only about 2.5% the total yearly evaporation off of the ocean (approx 4*10^14 m^3).

I suspect small changes in climate have a much greater effect on net evaporation.

Ask HN: What are some good public places to code?
Obviously "good" is subjective, but for me personally, I'm looking for any places that have outlets for charging computers, and a nice social vibe so it doesn't feel too lonely.

Answers can be either a type of place, e.g., coffee shops, or a specific place, e.g., Starbucks on University Ave in Palo Alto.
Somebody opened an issue about this too. While in the GIS world apparently this is the standard, outside the GIS world everybody talks in terms of latitude,longitude (y,x). So I'm not sure what to do. I suspect the majority of the users were not exposed to GIS systems, and that the GIS exposed users will check the parameters better, so I'm inclining in taking y,x in favor of the average person that like me thinks latitude,longitude is normal.

not likely to support external storage, as the architecture of the system is highly tweaked to provide the best performance.

however there is no limit to how many containers you can expand to (to share the load/storage)

and that's also why we're offering the cold-storage option, so you can move your data freely.

furthermore, everything is accessible through an API as well, so integration and manipulation of your data is a breeze

"...don't mistake for a moment, this is an industry with great profits at stake for both government researchers and private industries."

Do you really think that there is a wide-reaching global conspiracy for environmentalists, researchers, and scientists to propagate a myth solely for their own well-being and job security? That no one would blow the whistle?

"Simply put, we don't know all the variables and those who declare we do are more ignorant than those who deny any effect."

Who has said "we know all the variables"? The current scientific consensus is: A) the climate is changing (you and everyone agrees) B) We're the most likely cause (most denialists and the IPCC conensus agree) ... and C) we have reason to believe that carbon dioxide / greenhouse gases are the leading contributor.

"There are hundreds if not thousands of scientists who all apparently have different views on what contributes, how much it does, and so on."

Wikipedia lists 27 scientists that have published studies claiming natural causes for climate change. (A very quick search shows that at least 2 of them were paid/funded by the Heartland Institute) A couple dozen others fall into "the concerns are overstated" or "we don't know the causes." On the other hand, the 2007 IPCC report had 619 contributors lending their support. A small amount of scientists working on different theories, or being paid to discredit others shouldn't negate a global scientific consensus.
