I got An etx125 for a gift a number of years ago. The tripod is a pain to work with, but otherwise I really like this scope.

I just have one low power eye piece, I think the 26mm plossl. Saturn looks pretty much like the simulated 100x photo.

I'd like to get a Barlow and a higher mag eye piece for looking at craters on the moon.

I've messed with photography. It's a lot of trouble. Most of the time the easiest thing is to use my phone to take a picture through the eye piece.
I live in an area with a lot of CHAdeMO chargers, and I've never been tempted to buy the adapter... near-home charging (I have an apartment) and superchargers have done the job, even for longer trips.
It's definitely a issue, but I think it's far from the biggest issue. If you're going to use ruby, you're going to have to come grips with the culture, which for better or worse involves more "magic" and meta-programming than, say, Python where the same power exists but is avoided on principle.

It takes a little getting used to, but once you are, then the tooling is there to help you make sense of these things:

1.method(:year).source_location

The bigger issues with Rails I see are the monoculture issue raised in the article, plus the intractable issues with ruby around performance, memory bloat, concurrency, and last but not least, the multi-paradigm nature giving you functional features, but without any of the usual immutability guarantees (unless you follow a constrained and unconventional coding style which no one does in the ruby community).

Some news outlets have been calling it a "space shuttle", which is highly inaccurate considering that this has no plans of being for human use. I'm happy with the progress ISRO has made but lying/deception will not help anybody.
There are now 100 people holding cash. How will the organizers get it back?

Dead drops? One guy talks, they have a drop site. Law enforcement knows how to do stakeouts. Wait until someone comes to pick up the cash from the drop site, tail him to wherever he goes next.

Deposit it in real banks and transfer it somewhere? Okay, now you don't even need a participant to cooperate, you can just identify him and pull his bank records.

Maybe they convert it to BTC. Are there mixing services doing enough volume to really be untraceable? Otherwise investigators can watch it on the other side and see whose bank account it gets converted into.
I'd add Line/Disney's Tsumtsum to that list. Possibly Shironeko by Koropura.
I get this question all the time - "I am want to get started with Astronomy - which telescope should I buy ?"

Its so important to make people realize , one does not need to have telescope right way. A decent pair of binocular (and probably a book with sky charts) is enough to spot the 1st few objects in the sky. If the hunger for celestial objects then one can go for the telescope else there is high chance the telescope will eat dust at home.

The other problem with hastily buy a telescope is that we end up buying a beginners one with low budget which is is usually no better than good binoculars of same power. (magnification and light gathering). It is netter wait and have a decent budget to buy a good telescope later on.
I just finished watching the TV series Manhattan, about the Manhattan project. It was supposedly written with help from historians and physicists who know their stuff. This reminded me of one of their plot points that seemed realistic - a character suffered a potentially dangerous exposure, and the base doctor, feeling out of his depth, tries to reach out to somebody who knows better. After a few hours of chasing bureaucracy and secrecy, he eventually discovers that the official expert is listed as himself! There really isn't anybody who has any idea how exposure affected people, and they're just pushing ahead anyways because it's wartime.

It's still private property, tho. I get that the internet has twisted up our perceptions so it seems like, say, HN is a public space. But it isn't. Somebody is paying to host this, and ultimately they get the final say about what shows up here because of that. I frequently disagree with Graham and dang. and frankly a ton of the YC folks, and if they decide, hey, the hell with this guy, he can't say we're a bunch of stuck-up overly-wealthy nincompoops on our site, that's 100% their right, and it's not censorship, because this is their website. Even if it has the characteristic of a public forum, it is not a public forum, and that distinction is meaningful.
yes, still there are, but has nothing to do with "government support", governments on the both sides, are equally inept to handle corruption, crime and poverty.

I've tried Watson; I didn't find it particularly useful, but I did think that the visualisation and interface was superb.

Most of my playing with it was focussed on the 'Explore' parts, not the 'Predict'/'Assemble'/'Social Media' functions. I was disappointed in the level of documentation for some stuff (you have to look quite hard to find a definition of 'summary' - on my data, it just sums the column, for example).

I was also disappointed that you can't fit distributions or access the distributions that Watson fits, and at the lack of statistics (you can't get at skewness, kurtosis and so on).
Except the government's power to censor you goes way farther than somebody on a private site deleting your comment. You're saying popguns and artillery exist in a continuous spectrum, and I'm saying they're completely different categories and should thus be treated differently.

What you're saying may be true in general, but the numbers here are saying something different. MV just wasn't that popular on the Android platform to begin with compared with its popularity on iOS, about a million Android users next to almost 12 million iOS users. But the revenue per Google Play download is over 2 1/2 times that of the revenue per iOS download. So, each Android customer is punching far above their own weight.

How We Spend Our Money, a Breakdown (2015)
Someday you’ll have no screens in your life
I don't like the Universal apps or whatever they're calling them this month. They are limited, slow, crashy and buggy. They regularly just disappear after a sleep and wake. I have been left questioning my sanity wondering if I closed Messenger.

Also, they are clunky and slow. For example, switch to a desktop with a universal app open and for the duration of the desktop slide animation, the app window will be completely blank. And then suddenly all the content will flash into sight after the slide ends.

The start menu itself is slow and will miss your first few keystrokes if you try to start a search too quickly. The notification bar is sometimes laggy to open, and so are the universal style notifications.

Sharing across universal apps sometimes works, other times it just opens the target app and sits there. I dunno if this is an app problem or universal platform problem.

I wonder if improving Windows Forms would have been a better strategy. Instead now Forms is seen by many as a dead platform, and UWP is so limited/slow that nobody is developing for it. When soundcloud is smoother/less buggy running on Chrome than as a standalone UWP app, what is even the point of having a software ecosystem, apart from a web browser?
Another thing I commonly get is (after explaining that decent telescopes have the ability to swap eyepieces (If you're lucky it'll take 2" ones without vignetting)) is which eyepieces will "get the most zoom." People seem to be under the impression that because most objects in the sky are far away, they are also really "small." So if misguided they'll go buy 4mm Kellners with huge coma, have a painful time trying to get their scope aligned on any DSO, strain to see anything because everything looks dim in them, and squint because the eye relief is terrible. If somebody still wants a scope with high magnification because they're into planetary observing it's usually best to stick with a scope with a long focal length that brings it to f/12 or higher, then get some wide-FOV EPs for that.
Why, just because deflation is happening, must shares of businesses depreciate? Is deflation incompatible with profits?
The deprecation of SHA-1 is an issue, though. Timestamps after January 1, 2016 must be SHA-256, and SHA-1 signed files will be blocked after January 1, 2017. However, Microsoft has blogged that they may block them starting this June. Pre-Win7 systems don't recognize SHA-256, so you have to dual sign the files if you want backward compatibility. Except, MSI files can't be dual signed. I'm also finding that more Win7 users than I would expect don't have the proper updates, so their systems don't recognize SHA-256.

In short, it's a mess.

>"with possibility to write one application that works on all"

I'm not sure this is such a good thing. Maybe I'm in the minority but my phone and my desktop OS have vastly different use cases and I'd expect apps running on each of them to be different.

I'm not interested in a converging UI. I want a user experience tailored to the platform I'm running the app on.

I'd rather a solid desktop experience then having to put up with trade off's the developers decided to make because they wanted a "one size fits all experience".

I've seen it in the Linux world where toolkits/desktop environments tried to chase the idea of converging UI's and we ended up with the worst of both worlds - miserable to use apps on a phone/tablet and miserable Desktop Apps.
If you're going to discriminate people based on how educated their decision is, is it knowing the system itself that critical? That's like saying we shouldn't allow people with deep hardware knowledge to write software.

I am a first time buyer and spent months comparing scopes, talking to people who owned my top choices, etc. Finally settled on Celestron Astromaster 140EQ. It is just fantastic to setup and quickly get seeing - an important factor for first-time hobbyists. Also, a must-buy is the Celestron Astromaster lenses kit which just increases the quality and quantity of views immensely!
Just as a side note I will add a piece of advice I wish I knew back in the day: learn C++ itself, not what I did which was to think I was doing that, but actually really only learn MFC (this applies to any framework or library, Qt etc etc). Having said that, the STL will stand you in good stead whatever you decide to do.

That's pretty straight-forward. Until the last ~30-50 years the vast majority of the US population held a high or at worst neutral opinion of Jackson.

From, say, 1928-1960 there was practically no wide-spread criticism of Jackson's personal history regarding Native Americans (or any of his other terrible beliefs).

Consider that FDR is still very highly regarded by the left in the US, despite the fact that he was a blatant racist and interned a hundred-thousand Japanese-Americans.

OK, I was able to test this more rigorously. Yes, the vast majority of the difference between Intel and GCC is just the better implementations of exp() and log(). These are not vector implementations that calculate multiple results simulataneously, just scalar implementations that make better use of the available instruction set.

When I can get g++ to use Intel's libimf instead of glibc's libm, it's only ~5% slower than icpc. I'd guess much of the remaining difference is function call overhead vs inlining. Clang still lags by another 10%, but I think that's probably because I haven't figured out quite the right incantation to get it to use libimf without also disabling some other useful optimization.

Here are the commands that I ended up with:

clang++ -fno-finite-math-only -march=native -Wall -Wextra
-g -O3 option.cc -o option -Wl,-rpath=/opt/intel/compilers_and_libraries/linux/lib/intel64 -L/opt/intel/compilers_and_libraries/linux/lib/intel64 -limf -lintlc

g++ -fno-finite-math-only -march=native -Wall -Wextra -g -Ofast option.cc -o option -Wl,-rpath=/opt/intel/compilers_and_libraries/linux/lib/intel64 -L/opt/intel/compilers_and_libraries/linux/lib/intel64 -limf -lintlc

icpc -march=native -Wall -Wextra -g -Ofast option.cc -o option

The "-fno-finite-math-only" disables an otherwise good clang++ and g++ optimization that requires a __finite_exp() function that libimf does not have. clang++ seems to also need to switch from -Ofast to -O3 to make this stick.

What I don't know yet is whether recompiling glibc (or upgrading to the most recent glibc) will produce better performance out-of-the-box on recent Intel. My searches aren't turning up much information --- anyone know?

gcc and clang will vectorize that, but not exp / log

Actually I think it's the other way around. Since there is no guarantee that it is not copied, you can't assume either way. const means just that - const at compile time. As you say how the compiler chooses to utilize that information is up to the implementation.

In C# you can't assign a const to a value not known at compile time for this very reason. However, you can assign a variable value to a static readonly field.

This is an excellent argument for having surveillance cameras not just with policemen, but in all (e.g.) restaurant bathrooms. Nobody is going to view the footage unless there is an incident.

But do we trust that? No. Do the police unions trust that? No. Do people who happen to be in a bathroom at the same time with a policeman trust that? No.

'No pictures of the "shuttle." Strange.'

The picture clearly shows a 'winged' rocket as described in the article.

"The episode has the smell of government propaganda."

Not sure from where you get the smell of government propaganda. ISRO has been credited for some of the most successful launches. They sent a probe to mars in the first attempt. There seem to be smart folks working there.

Doesn't seem like a "game design sense" anymore than the fact that they have an isolated culture and their games simply resonate within this culture.

Nothing "mystic" about it, it is simply how they do stuff.

“advice” for aspiring tech bloggers
> Pardon my ignorance but I thought by now everyone agreed that Multiple inheritance was the root of all evil.

Hardly.

How it's implemented makes the difference. I'd say the general consensus is that C++' version of it is probably the worst (although to be fair, as much as I dislike C++, its implementation of MI has never really bothered me much in practice).

Modern languages support multiple inheritance of implementations with traits, which have a few additional restrictions compared to classes. These restrictions address some of the flaws that MI can have.

The bottom line is that you will rarely need MI and when you do, its flaws will probably not be much of a hindrance, so overall, it's a pretty overblown problem.
Actually it's not even really metaprogramming just like expressiveness. In Ruby's case it's metaprogramming though.
Uncle, this is not north korea or some bullshit US company. ISRO has sent missions to mars and moon. NASA works with them. Moreover, please open you eyes and check the first picture on the article.

Quotes:

"many of these dynamic features are definitely hacks, with various issues"

or

"[Objective-C] is a bad design, as far as metasystems are concerned"

or

"The solution to bad metasystems is not to ban metasystems, it is to design better metasystems that allow these things in a more disciplined and more flexible way."

or

"The point is that these problems will need solving in a possible future world without the Objective-C runtime. These kinds of problems should be considered as that world is being designed. The answers don’t have to be the same answers as Objective-C — but they need to be good answers, better than (for instance) writing a script to generate some code."
This may be true for games (I'm not sure), but I'm not sure it's good advice for startups in general (in case anyone was thinking that.) Throw things at the wall and see what sticks. Don't fall victim to sunk cost fallacy.
> has made $15m in its lifetime

Is that true? I thought (even though it says 2015) that the ~5m ish was total revenue for the project? This seemed pretty good, and clearly I was happy for the devs as over a 3 year period if you back out the costs and divide by 3 it was ~$1.4M profit a year, a nice bottom line. $15m would be better, but again not the mega block buster.

Where did that $15 number come from btw?

less office/backoffice/distribution ect...so not really a bottom line.

>zero ways of sustainably making gasoline

This is untrue, actually. You can depolymerise virtually anything carbon-based into oil. It's currently more expensive than digging it out of the ground, but we'll never run out of oil.

What's more, assuming the carbon in the feed stock originally came from the atmosphere, burning the resulting product is carbon-neutral.

Something to think about, given the unbeatable energy density of gasoline (barring nigh-magical battery technology).
No argument. That's why I said I realized this was always done for you today. But somebody had to build and program that GPU, and for those of us who care about such details, it would be nice to learn how rasterization works in a GPU. I had assumed that GPUs were still using Bresenham-like DDAs, but I learned from the above discussion that fixed-point non-branching algorithms may have become more common.
