So did 12, 11, ... 7, when they stopped allowing to sort songs and albums, which worked in 6. Things got much worse once they added Apple Music, it's been a ridiculously painful minesweeper game not to sign up. I buy most of my music o

They're inaccurate, but they're fundamentally fate altering when you can put some pieces of information together to generate a non-obvious conclusion that prevents a huge disaster. Good planning is not about assuming something wor

I can see how this is possible, but I've never experienced it. On the contrary, I see people just do and do and waste effort and redo because of things that could have easily been foreseen with a plan based on input from all stakeholde

"too much upfront planning" is one thing I've never experienced before. perhaps, you mean wrongful planning or indecision?

Cython is alternative option for speeding up specific parts of code. There is also numba and hope modules providing JIT decorators. Personally, I’ve tried pypy without issues, out of curiosity, but in about 15 years of using python never ra

How far is that? What about Cython?

How does this compare to pgBouncer?

What kind of performance/use case did you have? I haven't touched leaflet since the giant rewrite.

For some layers my projects do pay for MapBox tile service, but for other projects I use OSM extracts and self-made vector tiles. Mapbox charges only for the tile services, and there are multiple data sources out there, with which mapbox-gl

In what way is mapbox-gl not free? It's developed in the open, and works with all types of layers. I switched to mapbox-gl the moment it came out, because I already was making my own vector tiles as needed for interactive maps. There i

I honestly don’t get this myself. I understand AWS for a fast moving startup, but I’m seeing friends start hobby projects that will never need more than one $5/m shared dedicated host, and pay $60/m for worse performance.

Why would this be more likely to happen in the future? Is the future steampunk? Let’s try ripping WiFi chip off present day pcb and see what happens.

I would venture to say Moon landing is a bit below nuclear weapons.

Same here, I haven't seen anything like this for React.js

This is interesting... As non-C++ developer, I've never thought I needed this. Is this an answer to a question anyone is asking?

by Demiurge 7y ago
It's interesting that not having a degree is equated to being self taught developer. What if you chose to take all CS major courses but nothing else? University degrees are supposed to give you generic background on many subjects, on w

It is the rounding that seems to be an issue here.

by Demiurge 7y ago
This is also my preferred style. This means the keywords are separated from variables, and there is no code-based arbitrary space-alignment.

How much was the difference? Was there any rounding involved at any step? When dealing with money, I see rounding and integer math all the time. As another comment has mentioned, within 53 bits of mantissa, the number range is so big, we ar

I've worked with large datasets, aggregating millions of numbers, summing, dividing, averaging, etc... and I have tested the orders of operations, trying to force some accumulated error, and I've actually never been able to show a

blockada is an amazing utility. I've missed it after going back to iPhone.

It is a wave however, rather than a circle. There are oscillations, back and fourth between all sorts of things. It is inevitable because the competing ideas and systems are oscillating, all the way down. Nature is not perfectly in sync, an

It's a very valid point. If there is a universal format, it should not do things so rare. The above example should be easy to address, check if the method argument is a single dictionary or multiple.

This is not an accurate title. He is not blaming ths social media, he is blaming the developers who engaged in social politics instead of open and honest conversation.

Thats cool, I should try AsGeobuf as a soft upgrade to one of the older tile GeoJSON site :)

It never seems worth the effort in my testing, as you have to come up with your own loop to do the truncating, and the benefit is marginal. In this case he’d have 1.2gb file, I doubt that fixes the problem.

When you're doing tiles, you need to simplify to highest resolution actually discernible in that tile. So, for each zoom level, generate bbox tile bounds, and then simplify or cluster everything in each tile for the pixel resolution yo
