I'm about to build essentialy a render farm, so if eBay really is going to be flooded I need to hold off buying new. Anyone have any insight into this? Will the second hand market really get flooded? If so will it be soon, or are there

I think you have it around the wrong way. There are a vanishingly small number of countries where it is legal. If you want to know which ones, spoiler: look at stats for most homicides per capita. Freedom!!!

I found that more than a little odd. Sailors are universally out to help other seafarers and hope for help themselves when they need it. This was the guys first blue water trip, I guess he wasnt a true sailor yet, and hadn't lived life

Thank you. I feel pretty lonely having this view myself. Hearing it from someone else at least makes me feel more confident that it's everyone else who is slightly nuts and not me.

It is immensely useful as is with no active development, although I'll have to take your word for that, I wasn't aware it isn't active - that has never affected me after years of heavy use

For the average HN reader spatialite is a tool which should be considered. If the KNN issues are a breaking point for someone, they are probably already in postgis territory.

I feel this is misleading. You can use various spatial operators which are functional on geographic CRSs. For the type of situation you would usually use this for, it handles geographic just fine. But agreed it isn't explicit like in p

I feel you should retract this comment so as to not mislead people. See extensive spatialite documentation on spatial operators here: http://www.gaia-gis.it/gaia-sins/spatialite-sql-4.2.0.html

Yes, it does. See the extensive list of spatial query operators here: http://www.gaia-gis.it/gaia-sins/spatialite-sql-4.2.0.html

Strongly recommending not using it in a blanket way is not helpful. I have used it extensively in an embedded product for many years, and it has just worked. Sure it doesn't have all the postgis goodies, but it has enough that it'

Search for SRTM DEM for global elevation data, and Microsoft building footprints for buildings. That will get you pretty close

Great video. What seems obvious to those of us interested in the topic is clearly quite foreign to most people in this forum after reading the comments.

People with lots of resources do the EV and solar panel thing and get sasiated. Right - box ticked, move on. Making a difference requires reducing travel, reducing the use of all heavy transport, reducing meat consumption. Solar panels are

Clearly some quite senior developers there. Makes me wonder if the people hating on state machines have been at the mercy of junior devs or people trying it out for the first time, instead of a well planned state machine by someone with exp

In a previous life I implemented a business system in rails with a core state machine. The staff who used it could fundamentally understand the states and transitions, bringing them closer to understanding how the whole system worked. Not a

Sure. I am working on the firmware for a camera. Believe it or not it's a bunch of ruby services coordinated via redis pubsub. But at the core is the main system state which is a service in itself which is the main state machine. This

A lot of the comments here are rails oriented and anti state machine. In the context of rails that may make sense, but I do a lot of non rails ruby, and non object oriented Dev style, and state machines are a great way to write solid system
