Not all Lenovo laptop work that well ... A485 support has been shitty for a long time.

Well, I hope those are better under linux than the A485 and aren't running as hot and a sluggish wireless driver ... it has been a disappointment.

Do you really think Netflix get the standard billing prices ? I very much doubt so.

And now Google do the same in the browser. They're regularly being called out by Mozilian but most people dismiss it as "the coders are human".

Could people stop looking at the death rate ? If you have millions of people in intensive care for 3 to 5 weeks it is equally detrimental to the economy. Plus, the more people are infected, the more likely it is to mutate. Did you take thos

On the other hand, they have something like 65 re-infected people. Could it be that they have a different/new strain ? Edit I don't see why the downvotes. It is easily fact-checkable. Those 65 persons were hospitalized for their s

Most state waited for at least one city hospitals, if not a region's hospitals, to be overwhelmed before acting. Despite hard medical evidence of high contagiousness. Lockdowns were not irrational, just the fruit on not having enough m

"The actual fatality rate of Covid-19 is the region of 0.1%" Fatality rate is meaningless. Even if you don't die, you can't work when you're sick for 2 to 5 weeks. Sickness duration is relevant. Hospital bed occupan

Star Trek was ever meant to be Sci-fi (search how Roddenberry and Asimov became friend). Soap opera in space is what CBS want it to become because it is so mush easier to write for (see Kurtzman-verse).

GraphQL is only interesting for flexibility to fast prototyping/changes on the client side, to me. And it should stay there. Meaning your client JS should have a data layer that can understand GraphQL and translate that to a REST API c

They always were saying it wasn't magic bullet, but some people did not keep the context and started to spread only part of the story.

To be fair, they've been warned several times ... If they're not happy, they can leave. It's not like we don't have other (law complying) marketplaces.

Genuinely asking, is it actually working or is that like the promises of multiplexing in HTTP/2 that don't really work IRL ?

That is very important. Because, personnally, I never rely on one source of information. Problem is, as illustrated, what a good source beside the official doc ? Adding insult to injury, not that it is specific to Rust, there are so many bl

Nobody is "in the thick" as Rust core dev or aficionados are. There is a reason commercially backed language have a mush slower release pace and big release. It is easier to write doc for and prepare formations , classes and c

Well, you've said better than I. IMHO, PostGIS is geared toward building classical GIS databases, while OSM is more a Topological Catalog. If I'm not mistaken, they say so themselves and visual map are just a by-product of geo-ref

The thing is, it starts with find me the closest point. And then, in the next meeting, management wants to know which are in a specific area. And this case is about points contains by a polygon. I'll gleefully counter-argue some run to

Indeed, it is very often the case. Furthermore, it is not like PostGIS is adding costly overhead. Zero impact where you don't use it. And potentially a lot of trouble saved where you do.

Oh fair enough, not really arguing that point. But there is a major trade-off and the article does not even mentions it. It is perfectly fine to consider the GPS coordinate system and basic geometries are good enough for short distance. As

Coordinate in general should be in an explicit and documented coordinate system (I suppose you mean GPS coordinate system, EPSG:4326/WGS 84)

Possibly, yes but be aware of the trade off and evaluate the actual error to decide for yourself for that given country.

Well you actually very probably do need PostGIS if you're doing real spatial analysis. PostgreSQL geometry field are just that, 2D geometries, on a plane, in no particular projection system. Spatial geometries are relative to a project

by ldng 7y ago
Really OSM is kind of a special case. Database-wise it is more of a catalog of points and edges. Traditionnally, GIS databases support more complexe geometries natively.
