I know this isn’t a very interesting comment, but just to provide some balance to the mostly negative comments I’m seeing: It’s interesting that you did the experiment, and I appreciate you sharing your results. It all seems reasonable, eve

It’d be nice if they at least mentioned the existing pure rust implementation. https://github.com/KillingSpark/zstd-rs And better yet if they compared it explicitly in their “why” section. As it is, I’m left guessing.

What do you think is happening to the water not being utilized in the production of power? I assumed it's still being run downstream, just not through the power producing turbines. I'd expect there's not a big effect on the u

Transit routing is provided by OpenTripPlanner, so the deployment artifact is their OTP serialized graph format. So it’s not really incremental with respect to the existing transit zone deployment. I just mean I can redeploy a single transi

(Headway maintainer here) Indeed there is currently no incremental update in Headway, and deployments are largely an exercise left to the reader. For maps.earth (a Headway planet deployment), I typically rebuild the world, and then do a blu

Open source is weird. It’s like everyone on the entire planet is your coworker and you have no real say in their hiring, on boarding, or firing. I can see why there is trepidation and guard rails around giving them the key to your office pl

These folks gave an interesting talk on producing pharmaceuticals at defcon a couple years ago. IIRC it was more about production methods than developing new treatments. https://fourthievesvinegar.org/

I'd love it if it were easier than I think, because I spend a lot of time thinking about it! I host maps.earth, which is a planet sized deployment of Headway mapping stack (which I also maintain). To first order, you're right on a

One tricky thing about maps, as they relate to privacy, is that the earth is large. Compare that to encrypted email: if I’m sending you an encrypted message, the total data involved is minimal. To a first approximation, it’s just the messag

This article is entirely about where displays are produced, so no need for “from the gut” stats. According to TFA, about 95% are made in China and Taiwan.

Official? I've never heard this as official doctrine. Can you point me to anything official? I'd love to see OpenStreetMap.org be more directly useful to more people, rather than only as a "developer site".

Background: Mapping applications split up data into "tiles" so you can download only the data you are currently looking at. For example, you don't want to download the entire planet, just to look at your own neighborhood. His

For example, before you have Alice’s sealed sender authorization credential, you cannot send Alice Sealed Sender. This happens upon initial contact and after Alice revokes her credential (which can happens if she blocks someone).

Custom dictionaries are a feature of vanilla (non-seekable) zstd. As I understand it, all seekable-zstd are valid zstd, so it should be possible? https://github.com/facebook/zstd?tab=readme-ov-file#the-case...

Typically I’m a vim in terminal kind of person. Every few years I go galaxy brain and try to be a terminal in vim person, but it just never works out for me. Different folks, different key strokes.

I think by and large this doesn’t play out with trains. American trains tend to be much less frequent, slower, and less comfortable than most European trains. I road a swiss train a couple years ago that was something like 5 minutes late. T

Counting yes, but the charts in the article show that the largest group of shooters is students. About 1/3 are unrelated to the school or have an “unknown” relationship . It’s a short list of charts - worth a quick scroll through if yo

Yes, but there is a reproducible difference between when different adhesives break the PETG. He concludes that those adhesives are causing the PETG to become brittle, and you should prefer others which don’t.

What’s the issue with yanked crates? It should still build from your lockfile, even if it contains yanked crates.

This is an aside, but I’d never seen that “Beyond 2000” show before. Retro future is a favorite topic of mine, so thanks for sharing. Yeeesh though, re: part 2 of that episode, it’s wild to watch people in 1988 articulate the looming threat

I’m not an expert, but I’d like to know more. To me it’s interesting to know what the workers are concerned about specifically. Otherwise it just reads like “lots of people are mad”. Well about what exactly? It’s fine for a headline, but no

I’m going to assume the “illegal” is hyperbole, but yes I agree. Another pet peeve of mine is omitting the time frame for wage increases. A 25% raise today is not the same thing as a 25% raise over the course of 4 years.

The context here is that IE has absolutely dominated the browser market for years in 2005. So I read it as “Given we’re trying to have an alternative to IE, it’s silly for us to further fracture the ecosystem, rather than collaborate on a v

One probably small thing: Having a cohesive ecosystem where you can share links makes a map app more useful.
