That didn’t work. I found this:

https://github.com/organicmaps/organicmaps/issues/8750#issuecomment-2268550760

I didn’t test it. I just installed from play store to test, it shows it on dashboard but the navigation was frozen in place whole driving.

Thanks. Hopefully it’s not a security problem. If any apps (bank/insurance) might be able to connect because of this.

I did install it from fdroid.

Thank you. It didn’t automatically show map in screen like with Google maps, so I assumed Google probably doesn’t allow other apps to do that. I’ll take bit more time to test it out next time.

I want to use this, but does it have car integration? Since I got a car, I had to enable a lot of google services for map through Android auto.

Yeah, and also even if there’s smart people doing it, it doesn’t matter. Supposed 10% of people don’t use Amazon, as long as 90% are fine, it won’t affect them. Most people won’t look beyond “it costs me less”, the whole reason thing like temu is widespread is exactly that. People don’t care about other people, ethics of things, or even the long term effects of their actions. They just see low price vs high price on everyday setting.

If a chain restaurant gave half price food for a year in a loss to take out all local businesses people would gladly buy it. And then when everything is gone and that chain raises price because there’s no competition they’ll just blame other people, economy, whatever they can find.

In many cases it also comes from the side that people can’t afford to spend more money for the right reasons. Many people are living paycheck to paycheck, and those that aren’t, are still not well off and want to save as much money as they can for retirement/emergencies. You can’t count on anyone except yourself for your future, so they’ll take whatever costs them less now.

Yes thank you. I am using it. I’m good with finding things on the Internet but I’m struggling with parts that are deeper and not well documented. There are big projects that use pyo3, but not plugins. And there are big projects with plugins but not pyo3.

A simple analogy is, would you rather have keyboard with a-z and symbols you can use to build words/sentences, or would you want a wordlist you can scroll and click, while expanding words in groups, and having to find non-frequent words with a lot of difficulty to make up sentences.

Command line use is harder if you come from gui. But the main use case of command line are:

• automation: anything you can do in a command line, can be copied in a script,
• uniformity: every software now has almost the same format of use,
• flexibility: gui almost always has less options than command line, and many times options are hidden within a lot of tabs and options.
• Auto complete: whenever someone complains about terminal being hard to use and spelling mistakes I think about this. I think many people that come from GUI don’t know about auto-completion on terminal. It’s easy to see which options are available, easy to choose files, wildcards for multiple files, and all that
• piping: command line allows you to chain one command with another. You have a command to list all your music files, chain that with a search command to search files within them. Now if you need to search in a python code, you use the same search command, just different command to read the file. You basically have lego blocks (old ones) that can be used to make anything.

I can understand people being afraid of command line when they start, but I think many people come with biases and don’t use good terminal and other tools to make things easier.

Tell that to Newtown

Thank you.

I did consider Julia in the beginning, but I’m using rust so I can make a python library available for people. And also because I can easily transfer other programs I have, and some other libraries in C into rust easily. My project is mostly about connecting the existing tools the grant agency has plus tools scientific communities use.

What do you mean by official language communities? I don’t know what is rust official community. I am in rust discord but I have never gotten any response on any questions I ask about non trivial things there. I need people knowledgeable about macro, stable abi, and other features.

I’m not from CS related field. Me and my advisor don’t know professors in CS fields, and my university doesn’t have CS grad programs when I looked around. And I need an external professor anyway. My friends that are in CS grad school all do AI/ML related research.

There is a python library as well. But the core algorithm and the plugins are in rust. The GIS component also is computationally intensive or memory intensive, that makes Rust have advantages over python. And the Whitehouse is also talking about more memory safe languages so it seems like a good choice to do it in rust over c/c++ for computational parts and the plugin architecture.

Edit: As for professors. I need external professor for my committee, and this is a good option as I’m not familiar with any CS professors in my university that do grad research.

I’m trying to do computationally intensive things, and I didn’t want to do them in C/C++ because of practical reasons. I am making a python library as well, so people using the program can either use the CLI/rust library or the python library. The plugins and the core program is in Rust.

If you have chances of reward then yes. But current situation seems to be really bad. They don’t really value the workers as much as they used to. And you can’t easily leave your current job even when it’s bad. Having most of the population in debt (car+home+college) has removed most of the freedom of the workforce from choosing to work somewhere else.

Because in my opinion only when you can chose to not work and stay at home for a few months to look for other jobs, that you have a freedom of choice. Otherwise you have to just jump into whatever job you can find because you can get faster.

Then you start saying you can’t complete things, ask them which one is the priority. And actually not do everything.

Like with most things in life, variety is the key. Everything in moderation. Eat fruits, vegetables like carrots, celery, etc (raw). Chewing action has benefits. Sometimes cook things till they’re really soft, sometimes enjoy a bit of chewy meat. If you have variety in your habits it should be ok.

Again I’m not an expert on this. But the problem is think comes from sharp change in the type of food within few generations. Since we have started cooking food more and more we have gotten weaker jaw and bad teeth with results. But something that happened over a long time, vs something that happened within last 100 years has a different health impact.

Not an expert but I think ultra processed food has two main aspects, one is additives and preservatives. And the other is our body doesn’t need to process it as much to digest it. If you eta rice/bread your body has to break that carbohydrates into glucose which takes energy. Now if you directly take suger/glucose then eating the same calories would be a lot more plus calories since your body doesn’t need to work hard to process it. Furthermore it has more pure calories per same weight, so you end up consuming more to feel full compared to eating something not as calories dense.

Can I go completely 180 and suggest programming as a hobby? If you want a hobby where you’re in a computer. Then try learning to program little things. If you work on a computer then it’ll make things easier for you in the future, it’ll keep your brain sharp and teaches you problem solving.

I tried. I can’t do anything.
