We switched last year from the Google Maps API to hosting our own pre-generated vector tiles from Open Map Tiles in a docker image (using the mapbox api, and we're hosted somewhere in aws (not my expertise there - I get lost in the acr

A strongly-worded gist, but my sole use case is avoiding DMCA notices. VPN still seems like a good solution for that.

This is definitely something I think about when I think of NOAA and USGS. I’ve been surfing in California since the early ‘90s, and have spent many hours listening to the buoys being recited over the weather radio. We knew exactly what time

I feel kinda dumb. I've made many 1,000s of commits since 2011, and I never realized until now that commit messages can have a "body."

This is a super cool idea. But the beats are kind of glitchy and bad? Maybe it's a genre that I'm not familiar with...

Are these all the areas where you think goodreads needs work? If so, can't you keep track of the books people recommend by simply looking at their ratings? I would like to see: - Ability to have reviews be "friends-only". My

For full years after we had a baby we’d get 1-2 $20 bills a month. And they could always be traced back to a specific appointment or procedure, so we didn’t argue. But yeah, it’s loco.

“XS” seemed to me like a blunder of a name. First off, I don’t know anyone who calls the X iPhones “ten” - they call them “x”. And so XS looks and sounds like “extra small.” Without knowing anything about the X phones, I at first assumed th

Hi, Pinball Map is a hobby project we've been doing in our spare time for the past 10 years. It's currently listing 6,725 locations and 22,704 machines. Code is on github[1][2], and we have an API that is used by various folks. We

I agree with this. I was hovering on a button and then checking the link string in the lower left of the browser to figure out which icon was what. IFTTT is a nice example of a button/icon heavy design that also includes simple text de

This is the first time I've seen this debunking. And my head isn't in the sand, and I am definitely interested in understanding the reality of the situation. So, it's not a waste of breath at all.

To me, Kobo has a major advantage with the “warm toned” backlight on the Clara HD. I switched from kindle just for that. On kobo, the dedrm process involves installing the kobo desktop software (windows/Mac only), which syncs the books

There are also some extreme double standards within these organizations. On the one hand, the Navy has ambitious and impressive sustainability goals. And on the other hand, the Navy reportedly (I've heard this anecdotally from friends

A few year ago my wife and I decided to look up all the restaurants we regularly go to, and we were surprised to find that pretty much all of them rated 3.5 stars on yelp. Perhaps that rating helps ensure we won’t have to wait for tables. W

I'm under the impression that their costs are cheaper right now because public agencies are eager to see a working test case and so exempted them from environmental clearance. I doubt that will still be the case when the scheme changes

Yeah, the joke is that next they'll release that the concrete tunnel road is subject to deterioration, so they'll shift to steel tracks. Then they'll realize that these individual vehicles should be linked together to allow f

Unless I'm misunderstanding you, there isn't a offramp/onramp in the latest design scheme. When Boring Company first unveiled the design, it had elevators that moved vehicles from grade-level to the tunnel. The vehicles then

I meant personal in the sense that they're not mass transit vehicles. They're Tesla vehicles with a capacity of 5. I'll think of it as a people mover once they show us a vehicle that isn't an existing Tesla model.

What's a comparable tunnel? Isn't the Vegas loop a single lane tunnel for personal vehicles? I can't think of other existing/planned tunnels that fit that description, aside from other Boring Co ones. I'm not at all

You can develop iOS apps with React Native without an apple computer.

That’s very helpful, thanks! I’m using Manjaro, and tried it with 4.9 and 4.14. I should give it another shot now that I’m using 4.19. And to the point of your article: I’m in the same boat as you. I spent a good week researching folding ke

It does. I just couldn’t get it to mount with any kernel newer than 4.4. But with 4.4 it’s plug n play!

I have one. I needed to install linux kernel 4.4 for it to be recognized by my computer as a usb device. Kind of annoying that more recent kernels don't know what to do with it! Is that considered a "regression"?

Am I the only one who immediately stops reading when a writer says, "let me explain"? I was totally going to let you explain. After all, I'm reading your article and I intended to read more than just the first paragraph. But

There are arguments against measuring crash rates by “number per vehicle miles traveled” and instead by “number per vehicle hours traveled.” VMT is a product of speed and time, and thus a fatalities-per-VMT metric will nearly always show th

Another perspective is that "speeding leads to increased speed limit." Generally, many streets are not designed in a context-sensitive way, but instead designed to fit the standards of a limited functional roadway classification s

In California (and I believe many other states), what you describe would be considered a speed trap, and it isn't allowed. Speed limits are supposed to be set by measuring how fast people drive on the roads. If 85% of drivers go 40, th

by ryantgtg 8y ago
In California, you literally can't "slap a 25 sign on a stretch of road where 90% of people feel like 30 is reasonable 90% of the time." That would be a violation of the vehicle code, which states that speeds are determined b
