One example I am trying to wrap my head around is if you have two adjacent polygons (say California and Oregon) and perform an interior cover of both with variable hex sizes. It seems possible that a child hex might actually slip outside th

S2 is used pretty heavily across the industry. Comparison - ( https://h3geo.org/docs/comparisons/s2/ ) H3 doesn't guarantee a child hexagon at level N+1 strictly belongs to 1 parent at level N. S2 is bui

from my understanding, H3 doesn't guarantee that a child cell falls strictly inside the geographical region of its parent (since is a hexagon cannot be perfectly comprised of smaller hexagons). While the hexagon has less distortion - w

yes - i am skeptical on how generalizable the final model is - given lots of features (numerical and text) are closely linked to same domain.

You can buy an antenna from Amazon for 20$ and watch all the local channels and the games. Just fyi... I have never had cable but watch almost every Sunday night game on NBC.

Serilog to me is a much more modern logging solution. Allows us to pipe logs to table storage/sqlserver/loggly/logentries/docdb/azure event hub ... its the backbone of our app - really just awesome

unless there is external regulation/certification, what incentive does one cloud service provider have to open a can of worms on themselves like this? It can only be assumed that all the others will follow suite and it would be compar

In my experience with Neo4J a few years ago, i naively used it as my primary DB. The latency (not suprising given its JVM based) was painful and often there are classic relational aspects that we tried to capture in the graph. This is ENT

Is actually possible to not have the ability to decrypt messages remotely? At first I thought that if just an iphone held the encryption keys and these were not on apple servers this statement could be true ... however considering that imes

There was no mention of where exactly these would go. I doubt it would be on machines serving response online ... since the bottle neck is often in IO. Being able to index, process and learn data faster can lead to faster iteration and impr

Apart from the fact that this isn't a new product. From a ranking and relevance point of view, can the same (internet) search algorithms be reused for internal (intranet) search? Often permissions, links and usage are not reflective

Extension methods are a godsent in C#. Really allow you to write extremely expressive code. I cannot agree enough. This is not new for any C# dev. Expressiveness is not as great as ruby, but certainly on par with Rust LINQ extension metho

I couldn't agree more. That said, I think hidden in your last sentence is the fact that working with C# in an IDE with a statically typed language is such a pleasure. For most mundane code (loops, linq, if/else), Resharper will li
