I know this isn’t a very interesting comment, but just to provide some balance to the mostly negative comments I’m seeing: It’s interesting that you did the experiment, and I appre…

It’d be nice if they at least mentioned the existing pure rust implementation. https://github.com/KillingSpark/zstd-rs And better yet if they compared it explicitly in their “why” …

What do you think is happening to the water not being utilized in the production of power? I assumed it's still being run downstream, just not through the power producing turbines.…

Transit routing is provided by OpenTripPlanner, so the deployment artifact is their OTP serialized graph format. So it’s not really incremental with respect to the existing transit…

(Headway maintainer here) Indeed there is currently no incremental update in Headway, and deployments are largely an exercise left to the reader. For maps.earth (a Headway planet d…

Open source is weird. It’s like everyone on the entire planet is your coworker and you have no real say in their hiring, on boarding, or firing. I can see why there is trepidation …

These folks gave an interesting talk on producing pharmaceuticals at defcon a couple years ago. IIRC it was more about production methods than developing new treatments. https://fo…

If your brain was distributed as software, I think it might?

I'd love it if it were easier than I think, because I spend a lot of time thinking about it! I host maps.earth, which is a planet sized deployment of Headway mapping stack (which I…

One tricky thing about maps, as they relate to privacy, is that the earth is large. Compare that to encrypted email: if I’m sending you an encrypted message, the total data involve…

This article is entirely about where displays are produced, so no need for “from the gut” stats. According to TFA, about 95% are made in China and Taiwan.

Official? I've never heard this as official doctrine. Can you point me to anything official? I'd love to see OpenStreetMap.org be more directly useful to more people, rather than o…

Background: Mapping applications split up data into "tiles" so you can download only the data you are currently looking at. For example, you don't want to download the entire plane…

For example, before you have Alice’s sealed sender authorization credential, you cannot send Alice Sealed Sender. This happens upon initial contact and after Alice revokes her cred…

https://signal.org/blog/sealed-sender/ The short version is: Traditionally, Bob needed to “log in” to be able to send a message to Alice’s inbox. With Sealed Sender, Alice gives Bo…

Custom dictionaries are a feature of vanilla (non-seekable) zstd. As I understand it, all seekable-zstd are valid zstd, so it should be possible? https://github.com/facebook/zstd?t…

Typically I’m a vim in terminal kind of person. Every few years I go galaxy brain and try to be a terminal in vim person, but it just never works out for me. Different folks, diffe…

I think by and large this doesn’t play out with trains. American trains tend to be much less frequent, slower, and less comfortable than most European trains. I road a swiss train …

Counting yes, but the charts in the article show that the largest group of shooters is students. About 1/3 are unrelated to the school or have an “unknown” relationship . It’s a sh…

Yes, but there is a reproducible difference between when different adhesives break the PETG. He concludes that those adhesives are causing the PETG to become brittle, and you shoul…
