And then when you try to scale your whole design up, whoops, all the rounding changes and you need to redo everything.

Anyway, neither way here is right or wrong. One optimizes for uniformity of scaling, the other optimizes for intelligibility with a base ten number system.

This is is a real feel-good success story and all for 2.5 GBP a year. The frustrating side of this is that the UK Government gives hundreds of millions of GBP in aid per year to nations like India, who have their own space program. Just imagine how this money could be used to transform the landscape and environment in the UK itself.

Our main issue is still not being sure if the entire Tags and Burns business is something people are interested in. It seems to us people are mostly like to use the app to find the graffiti on the map. Something we did not account for as the map feature would be "cheating" in the game of finding and burning other members' stickers.

I guess we will try to keep both features in while we decide the best way forward.

ISO paper sizes assume that content is scale-invariant.

US paper sizes assume that you have specific design sizes to your printing technology (picas) and then give you a grid of an even number of those units.

Graphic designers / typographers I know tend to prefer the US paper sizes.

Regular people who want to make photocopies of enlarged/reduced pages tend to prefer ISO sizes.
Not sure how I feel about characterizing this as a subsidy, but... while tax breaks aren't the same as subsidies, they can effectively act like subsidies in some cases. I found this list more informative than the article or even the Metcalf paper:

https://www.americanprogress.org/issues/green/report/2016/05...

The optimist in me wants to believe that our dependence on foreign oil encouraged new domestic oil production via tax policy. I don't think that nudge is warranted any longer. I'm not a fan of governments interfering in markets, but in this case, better to incentivize alternative energy and not fossil fuel.

"Bulma definition - "bloomers", or women's loose-fitting knee-length underpants. Also Japanese for short gym shorts worn by girls."

I'm from the UK and have never heard of this word Bulma. I agree it's not a pleasant-sounding word (too close to bulimia to me). Is this a commonly understood word in the US? Or is it slang? A quick search in the Cambridge Online dictionary (in both British and American English) comes up empty. It may be that the author wasn't aware of the meaning.

Of course a lot of the risk comes from the trend for technology to operate at larger and larger scale to achieve efficiency. We could see a trend in the opposite direction where individual households and communities can be more self sufficient. For example, efficient small scale energy production could reduce the risk of nationl level grid disruption. That same biotech industry could enable local food production without needing to depend on complex infrastructure for evey meal.
I do rather enjoy the "Name your price" mechanism, to where I can get the game for free to at least get a demo, and decide that I want to pay for it later (or if I throw it aside 30 minutes later -- no monetary commitment lost).

I do wonder though, if it might be worth more to just have plain download links with a Donation button. Perhaps someone's already done a study on this. Are people more likely to pay money with the download links behind the "name your price" dialog?

On a side note: the Linux Zip file is a little bit poorly constructed. For Linux, it's usually poor form to not be wrapped up in a dedicated directory. Additionally, the binary isn't marked executable inside the Zip, making the user do it manually instead.
I suspect that the requirement of (1) changing the password every n days, (2) new password cannot be the same as previous m passwords (usually, m=10) leads to insecure passwords for most.

I've seen people handle such requirements by creating an initial password, say p@$$w0rd and then appending a digit to it. On any subsequent mandatory password change event, they increment the new password from p@$$w0rd0 to p@$$w0rd1.

Not sure if it leads to anything more secure.

Wish more people started to use GPG based password store such as pass [0].

It really depends on your target audience.

For example, I make an app for hipster web devs, and it does really well on the Mac.

On the other hand, if you make an app for payroll accounting, I strongly recommend to make a Windows app.

Some apps, like a citation manager for researchers, really should be cross-platform and work on Linux too; a browser extension might work really great here.

If you'd like more specific advise, tell us more about the field you're interested in!

If you don't have an idea yet, I recommend looking for a niche first. Once you identified your target audience, you only need to find out what platform they use.

Regarding your PS: The most baffling measurements to me are tires. The diameter is expressed in inches, the width in millimeters, and the sidewall thickness is given as a percentage of tread width. So you get 255/40R17 to describe a 17” tire that's 10” wide with 4” sidewalls. (Or a 430mm tire that's 255mm wide with 100mm sidewalls)
It works in a rather different way under the hood, right?

Not quite. What you calculated is the probability that visitors will not hit the p99 case on all their requests. In other words, the chance of getting a p99 response on all 100 requests is infinitesimal.

The chance of getting at least one p99 response out of a hundred is 1 - 0.99^100 ≈ 63%.

What are your recommendations for Git visualisation?
I like to think I'm well versed enough in how to use git, at least on a day-to-day basis. Having had plenty of experience with GitHub repos, both private and public, I now find myself in a situation whereby I should assume GitHub is not an option, and use 'self-hosted' repos.

With this, comes the difficulty in visualising progress, history and collaboration within a small team. Issues arise due to a no -standard, or non-existent, workflow (but that's for a different discussion).

I believe a visualisation tool would greatly help the team I work with, but with little experience outside of GitHub, I'm looking for advice from those that have used other tools.

e.g. Gitlab: to me, it looks like the answer, or at least something pretty close. But I don't want to commit to something, propose to my team, only to later discover a fundamental flaw or usage restrictions etc.

EDIT: An ideal feature would be the concept of pull requests or merge requests. Given the current team workflow, not every piece of work is to be released as soon as its completed so having some visualisation of things waiting on the wings is important.

Help in research would be grately appreciated.

Thanks community :)
Hiring managers ignoring the fact that best way to increase salary is to move. That's why people move a lot. Nothing to do with skill

maybe it's easier to innovate in the rc space due to some factors. such as hobbyist takes warnings and limitations seriously (e.g. charging with specialized chargers and use "blast-proof" charging bags), and sizes are quite standardised for use. having that much caution for mass-produced item usage is quite hard.
Your example of mm is not true at all. There's no need for 3 significant figures for electrical wire size. Where I am, it's 2.5mm^2 for 10 A circuits, 1.0mm^2 for lighting, etc. The 2nd digit is always a 0 or a 5 so it's even simpler than it looks.

> Finally, Uber is already aggressively moving into this market, and yet no one seems to talk about it - I guess it just isn't as sexy as cars.

No, it's because right now, they're not a logistics company, they're a taxi company. All they do is match supply and demand in a very localized setting, which is a far cry from the likes of DHL or FedEx.

Uber is not exactly printing money [1], so I have no idea why you assume that they'll have an edge in the transition to a very different business model?

[1] In fact, their only moat seems to be their brand name, and the expensive legal and lobbying battles they fight profit their competitors just a much.
The reverse is true for metric pipe threads. They're named with mm but are actually the same dimensions as the inch threads. Luckily the inch numbers have only an arbitrary relationship to any dimensions of the thread anyway so nobody will get confused trying to measure them.
I live in a small town in France and in the villages, there is often zero parking. The effect on the village? Less economic activity than the ones that have parking. Just eliminating parking does solve a problem, but it creates another problem as people seek convenient alternatives. Taking 3 toddlers with strollers on public transport to go grocery shopping isn't as easy as some single guy jumping on the train to go get a beer. How does one transport things back to their house? Using only public transport means that you can only buy what you can easily carry.

Public transport makes it really difficult to carry any amount of cargo. Ever tried to bring grocery bags into the subway in NYC during rush hour? It's impossible. Now do that with a kid. Now do all that and end up at one of the majority of stations without elevators. No matter how 'good' NYC's public transport it, it still sucks if you are in a wheelchair, with small children, carrying any amount of cargo and traveling at anytime other than 12am.

Public transport has its place, but to suggest a car-free world is madness -- unless we have cargo carrying robots bringing stuff to our doors.

I will say Zurich does a good job -- their trains are super easy to board, they are spacious and uncrowded. The platforms are wide and easy to navigate and have no stairs. Still, even that doesn't solve the problem of cargo. One could use Amazon, but that requires a truck to deliver things, which requires roads and unloading zones.
In hn of all places, I'd expect people to appreciate the benefits of a space program. Are you saying that should not be a priority because they recieve aid?

I mean, there is valid criticism of any aid program, and you pick that?

Sadly, UEFI implementations are as buggy as anything else. Missing start of Option ROMs? Invalid GPU initialization? I have hit this and more with both Phoenix and AMI. And also security issues thanks to magic buggy Intel blobs.

At least there is a valid, but hard to compile and deploy reference implementation.

It is funny that CSM mode is so much more polished and tested than pure UEFI one. And that so many cards still do not provide compatible firmware.

Let's eliminate cars. How does one transport a week's worth of groceries for a family of 5 on public transport? Transportation is more than moving a person from A to B.

If you want a real solution, provide tax incentives for companies to work remotely. If you eliminate commuters in those types of jobs that can work remotely, you solve almost all traffic problems.

Does an insurance salesman really need to travel to an office? 90% of that work is on the phone already and the other 10% could be replaced with video conferencing.

> How comes he writes so well?

Why does it surprise you that someone in the military can write so well? There's a great history of brilliant writers and poets coming from the military.

Many people join the military before doing something else with their lives so you get a tremendous mix of talents and passions in units. I found that a surprising number of people turn out to be excellent sketchers and painters when working in the military, for example.
I really don't get Uber's business model. It seems to me that the whole company is just based around the brand. Anybody could start an Uber clone tomorrow. There is totally no lock-in potential (except they could claim exclusivity for their drivers, but I think this is limited). This means that any large party with sufficient marketing budget could just push Uber away.
Yeah, it looks promising, I want to believe this.
This is really nothing to do with Tor specifically, but it's a good fit for a question that I think is curious about optional payment systems.

If your browser counted how much resources you've consumed in browsing and asked you to retroactively & optionally "pay your bill," could this generate the cash to keep the service running?
I disagree:
To my mind, the coordination with drivers -- and their need to have enough work to stick with you -- is a huge factor.

Once you cut out the driver by having self-driving cars, you're left mostly with a capital issue. Then the car companies are able to add cars to the fleet at a better price than Uber.
It's not difficult to see how a computer - especially with a huge database - could do very well at differential diagnosis. It would require the correct inputs, but its advantages are very clear even with fairly simple algorithms.

Theranos hand-waved several huge problems with their approach by claiming proprietary magic. What they tried to do is probably impossible. So, big difference.
You'd lose the definition of angle as arc length / radius, which would make your proposed unit just as arbitrary as degrees - most formulas involving angles would need to contain a conversion factor.

You'd also lose the small-angle approximations sin(theta)=tan(theta)=theta which in my field are used extensively to convert nonlinear to linear equations.

Nonetheless, your proposed unit already exists and is called tau. Or write it as 2pi if you want to be more easily understood.
What will be disappointing is that although you may have purchased a self driving car. You will most likely not able to to offer self driving ride sharing without paying some sort of fee to the car company or 3rd party.

Cars are slowly moving into the direction where you no longer own it outright. Tesla could prevent you from selling your car even though you "own" it.

PXE is good (someone needs to sit down with me and a bottle of rum and work out why PXE behaves differently after a hard reboot in VirtualBox), but I've got to hand it to Apple, Target Disk Mode is nice. They also had some kind of multicast netboot-installer before most OSes.
We should really have something like this that can easily just be linked into an application and do health checking. A place where the last n lines of log, all sorts of stats like mem usage for the last few hours, open file descriptors, subprocesses, ... can be checked.

There's some (mild) network effect. As a customer, if you install only one ride sharing app, you obviously want the app with the most cars. And similarly as a driver you want the app with the most potential customers.

You can see the weakness here immediately -- it's possible to install two or more ride-sharing apps (apparently drivers do this routinely). There's some difficulty as a customer in having to check two or more apps. Maybe there is an opportunity here for a meta-/aggregator ride-sharing app that scrapes the data from the other apps and presents it in a unified interface?
You know what is worse than imperial units? Measurements that were traditionally inches but converted to millimeters, inconsistently.

I do woodworking in a metric country. It's terrible. My "quarter inch" chisel is 6mm but my "quarter inch" plywood is 6.5mm so it won't fit in a groove made by the chisel. 3/4" chisel is 20mm but plywood is 18mm. All the measurements are inch based but converted to metric arbitrarily rounding up or down.

3/4" is the only measurement that works well, it's 19.004mm. But a 19 mm drill bit isn't a part of any standard set.

Some automotive applications are similar. The Toyota Hilux pickup truck has an indestructible reputation because it was cloned by the Japanese from a US truck. They rounded every measurement up to nearest millimeter. It's beefier than the original while having a smaller and less powerful engine. You do need some exotic sized wrenches to work on it, though.
