> an overwhelming majority in the recent election.

On 36.9% of votes cast through first past the post. In other words 63% of the country didn't vote for the Tories or their austerity policies (that said you can barely slip a fag paper between Tories, Labour and the LibDems policy-wise).

In Scotland the story was quite different. The SNP romped home with 56 out of 59 Westminster seats, many seats gained with greater than 50% majorities, so as a Scot I can tell you up here we unambiguously voted against Westminster's wishes to destroy public services.

Couple months ago I started working on space shooter/simulator, just for fun. Newtonian physics, html canvas. It had 2D top view (F2 key) and 3D view (F3 key), but because canvas is quite slow on fullscreen I usualy switched rendering off (F1 key) and then I spent most of the debuging time there. I only needed few data to be displayed so I only rendered speed, distance fuel etc. as numbers. Then I added yaw pitch roll indicator and even though it was on canvas, because only small part was changing it was kinda fast, so I started adding more and more avionics and eventually the instrument flight [1] aspect of it become much more interesting that realistic planet renderings and I completely neglected 3D view [2]. The most fun so far was programing docking autopilot. So if you haven't make your own space simulator, you should, it's fun. (unfortunately it's not finished and not even in publishable state)

Ask HN: Three Month MVP ($5K or $10K)
I'm the lead developer at an NYC / accelerator-backed startup looking to take on a side contract to help extend my startup's runway.

I'd be looking to take on a 3-month engagement to build out an MVP. I was thinking of charging either $5K (200 hours * $25 per hour / ~15-20 hours per week) or $10K (400 hours * $25 per hour / 30-35 hours per week) for three months of work.

Would love to hear if any other devs at startups have experience managing these sorts of projects (and if so, if you have any advice on how best to structure/manage). Thanks very much in advance!

Desiring personal enjoyment is illogical according to:

Buddhism, Stoicism, Cyncism, Epicureanism, Stoicism, and Neopythagoreanism.

All schools of thought that actively advocate against self desire and state that it is something that you must first purge yourself of before you can achieve happiness.

A lot of pure logical schools advocate that want and desire is the root of all suffering. The difference between these schools and say Randianism is they reject one can suffer of the soul.

You do not desire an end of suffering, but you desire an end of desire.

Are you being deliberately obtuse?

Austerity is a macroeconomic policy, and its presence or not is identified in macroeconomic indicators (e.g. government spending as a percentage of GDP). I would have thought that was obvious. The relevance of austerity to the article and other discussions of this type is that austerity is used as the justification for cuts to social services and the welfare state (even in cases when the amount of money being spent/cut is tiny so the difference it makes to the budget is negligible) and that these cuts cost lives (for no gain, since austerity doesn't work).

You can argue about whether there was ever any intention to actually reduce the deficit at all, since the results of austerity are well known to macroeconomists, but that just leads to the conclusion that the government is killing people (and tanking the economy) for purely ideological reasons (i.e. reducing the size of the state, at any cost). Which is hardly any better than the up front reason of "tough decisions" where some people supposedly need to die to save the economy.
Browsers make a best attempt at caching, but they dont have a lot of information to go on huge amounts of data that may be able to be cached and the only way to check if its out of date is by going over the network.

Appcache / service workers give you more absolute control over that caching, generally once data is cached it is loaded immediately from disk forever thereafter (and updated in the background when needed).
OneNote does this. You can either insert a new equation and get an editor, or select existing strokes to convert (to either writing or math). There's sometimes error correcting involved, but it's pretty impressive.

Yeah, KSP is great for getting an intuitive feeling for what one would have to do to navigate space successfully – at least to the point where one would be able to identify grossly inefficient behavior immediately and be able to do something that’s somewhat effective at getting where you want to go (though probably not most effective). I think that’s pretty awesome, mostly because orbital mechanics is not something we think of being able to have an intuitive understanding of, at least if you don’t have the requisite math background (and maybe even then not).

With KSP, at least if you play it long enough, you really do gain a rough intuitive understanding, even if you do not ever calculate anything. But one should probably also mention that it is time-inefficient and, well, not exactly rigorous. (Both of those things don’t matter that much since it’s just a game.)

Obviously you can also break out the calculator and approach it that way (but I don’t think that’s necessary, except maybe when it comes to interplanetary stuff and getting the right angles). The game is luckily easy enough to brute force things and when you are stuck around KSP’s Mars equivalent with little fuel you can still always fiddle around with maneuver nodes forever to see if there is some way out – and then be forced to learn to be efficient that way.

A not so simple primer on terrorism
It is a very cool piece of tech to be sure, but as a composer who has used notation programs almost daily for over a decade, this really doesn't solve any new problems, and it isn't anywhere near powerful enough for professionals (yet), so most will be importing files from StaffPad into Finale/Sibelius/etc.

With a MIDI keyboard and some keyboard shortcuts I can enter music extremely quickly. To write a string of 8 16th notes, for example, I can press 1 button to select the note length, then press the 8 notes on the keyboard to write the notes (this is with any modern notation program). With this app, I have to draw each individual notehead, beam across the top, and then an additional beam for the 16th notes, then I have to hope I got everything in the right place so that it correctly recognizes my intentions. On that last point, anything beyond very simple scores would probably end up being a nightmare in terms of productivity. A video from last April shows a person making a very common action - beaming more than 2 eighth notes together in a 4/4 measure, but the program thinks he wants triplets, so he has to go back and erase the marking. I can only imagine how many of these "hitches" would pop up in a more complex score.

The price is fairly low, and they seem to promising more features and refinement, so it will be interesting to see where it goes. But the input method, while neat to look at, is fundamentally a regression for professionals. A Vim-style system that allows for extremely rapid entry of music would be an interesting and useful approach, but something that might not have a wide appeal. This app will be useful for those that want to jot down ideas while not at their desktop, and many people will buy it for the novelty, but I would imagine most professionals will wait.
Not sure, don't have much experience with that. This is a "classic" futamura projection - you write an interpreter and the "magic" turns it into a compiler. I'm not aware of any consumer-grade compiler like that, but there is a huge swath of research on that.

You can very easily create a dumb one - you just copy-paste interpreter loop essentially (which is what e.g. cython does if not presented with annotations), however the results just aren't very good

Maybe they have gotten better since I stopped using debit cards, but I'd always end up with multiple charges, usually a pre-authorization charge and then the real charge. As a broke college-kid who never had much money in the bank, the debit card putting a $100 charge in on my checking account when I bought $40 of gas, and not cleared up for several days, fucked me over a few times. Then you pay a $25 over-draft fee to the bank, and whatever charge the entity you were trying to pay charges for late or bounced checks.
I disagree with the notion that the WordPress REST API plugin is "robust." Having developed on it several times, it really doesn't live up to the standard set by great APIs and has a lot of missing components.

Having a great JSON API baked into the core and dogfooded for the admin UI should really be a focus for WordPress.
That defeats the purpose of the prize, which is to inspire individuals (among other things). Fairness per se isn't the point.

I flew Orbiter to Mars from earth, docked with the ISS, also made a game of trying to visit each of Jupiter's satellites about 10-15 years ago

http://orbit.medphys.ucl.ac.uk/

Its interesting to look at the MFD design for mission planning as an applied version of the linked page.

I have not played much KSP, is there anything as realistic as orbiter? From what little I've seen it tended toward comical set of pants, like comparing ChopperLifter to MS flight sim.

Orbital docking dynamics are weird. If you undock from the ISS and thrust up a little bit, in half an orbit you'll come right back. Increasing or reducing your speed along the orbit (moving front or back) will eventually affect your altitude. Docking isn't as simple as "if you wanna go forward, thrust forward". All the control mix; like hovering a helicopter but slower. Flying "in formation" can be very expensive in terms of fuel depending on the formation, or it can be free if in a favorable geometry. There is a classic very hard sci fi story along the lines of extorting someone who doesn't know orbital mechanics by literally throwing them off a space station, and the victim panics not knowing he'll be back in half an orbit seeing as escape velocity is a little faster than a human shove!

One amusing anecdote is for an inclination change greater than 60 degrees or so, its cheaper to land and take off again or go on a very high orbit into deep space and change your inclination there. The ISS is at a very high inclination and at least energetically, to put the thing into a GTO around inclination 0 or so, it would be cheaper to land and re-launch the thing.
More likely, people with bad credit.

Julia does very little tracing, except to infer types, which it then passes on to LLVM. All the optimizations in Julia are because Julia stresses type stability, and once types are known, LLVM can generate very good code specific for those types.

You can easily annotate functions with types in Julia, and pre-compile specialized functions. Julia does very little runtime magic to speed up code, especially compared to PyPy. The speed just comes from a very clever type system + LLVM.
