Yeah - GBA homebrew is hard. Mostly because it's a modern processor (it's an ARM7TDMI) with some really nutty RAM and graphical limitations. But any 8-bit or most 16-bit systems (except the Genesis, which is something of a kludge) are pretty straightforward.

A better understanding of space–via helicopter
Depending on how you define "big changes". For example, I consider the static reference convenience feature described in the 1.21 release announcement to be a small new feature, but it does affect how people write code (that's kind of the point! :P ).
The Wright brothers had a bicycle shop, whereas Da Vinci was more of a painter.

The main thing Musk has in common with the Wrights is running an electric car transportation company and sending private rockets into space via SpaceX.

I think you should revisit whether that makes it more Wright brothers or Da Vinci.

Guys I just released it also on ProductHunt! https://www.producthunt.com/posts/how-to-setup-a-company-in-...
It isn't hard to create easily testable redux actions using redux-thunk. When you configure the redux store you can use `thunk.withExtraArgument` to provide a service object to your actions, so you can write something like this:

const getDog = dogId => (dispatch, getState, { DogApi }) => {
dispatch(fetchingDog(dogId))
DogApi.getDogById(dogId, (err, dog) => {
dispatch(err ? dogFetchError(err) : fetchedDog(dog))
})
}

...

dispatch(getDog(123))
Will there be an API sometime in the future? Also will it be possible to whitelabel the template editor and/or make it embeddable?
Of course it is. Organizations that benefit from road infrastructure expansion actively work to discredit and defund government transit initiatives.

Historically there is the example of 1920s era GM funding initiatives to convert tram lines into bus lines, which required further investment in road networks, which benefited their private car ownership business as transit was defunded and discredited.

What about actual punch cards? Maybe not the most efficient given the lack of equipment but should not be harder to print or punch than QR. And standards were around for much longer than QR or DM so you can be sure to find some designs online or in a library if you lose all of of your equipment in 10-50 years (and they can always be scanned or read by eye if everything else fails). I'm looking for a simple design for a RS232 puncher, preferably one that would support some non-biodegradable plastic cards (they say PET bottles do not degrade in centuries, ain't that a perfect backup material?) But even paper cards should be more durable than anything printed on laser printer.

Using IBM 80-column cards you'd need just about 10 cards to store a 4096-bit key with three subkeys in binary mode. More if using char mode (might be preferred if you have to type them using keyboard). The key can be condensed for backup if needed. OTP and/or Shamir's method could be added to the mix to improve security, increasing the number of cards required, but even without Shamir you can split the deck in half and store in different places.

Longer, possibly foldable, punch tape is yet another option. If it has the same width as IBM 80-column cards then most of DYI equipment designed for the latter can still be used. It can't be metal though, only paper or plastic.

A bit of obscurity helps too, it's not like a deck of cards screams "this is an important secret" or possible attackers have card scanners with them when they invade your backup facility (although they can make photos and decipher them later so it's not real protection, just a small bonus.)

Now, how would we solve a problem of rubber-hose cryptoanalysis with it?
My mantra has always been spend your time and effort trying to make more money, not saving it. If you have a decent head on your shoulders, and a good family to fall back on, then investing in creating your network in a city or company with other aspiring people is going to win out many times over versus concerning yourself with saving.

If you're in a cube I wonder if you'd be better suited to an IR-beam break? If you have to walk through an "entrance" you could detect that happening pretty easily - although you'd want to avoid flaps to handle the case of somebody leaving too.
I think the classification can still be supported by the analysis of the behavior of these accounts and the other statistics on the accounts of "influencers" with high ratio of fake accounts. For example, the latter tend to have significantly higher than average ratio of likes to followers on their recent publications. Also, purchases of followers usually happen in batches, so it is easy to observe the spikes in followers numbers. The behavior of "like" bots also produces some observable patterns.
With styled-components into the future
Described my exact experience to a T. I've always wanted to play the Genesis version of this game.
Right, for comparison's sake I chopped off $51 billion bucks from the Northeast Corridor projection in the interest of balancing out the two.

Just because I felt like doing some more Google-fu, I found an article in the LA Times[0] that says a California HSR/bullet-train project is going to overshoot it's original budget (and deadline) of $68 billion. There's a lot of info out there about this project, and it's potential overruns, but let's forget all that and just stick to the original planned cost: $68 billion, so, about half of the cost of Amtrak's northeastern bullet. Let's use that number for our comparison.

If we are going to hold Elon to his "we can do it for 1/8th the cost" blurb, then we are giving him like $8.5 billion to use for his SF/LA Hyperloop. Still, that doesn't sound unreasonable, right? He'll get a good deal on tunnel boring with his other company, and fuselage manufacturing can be handled by SpaceX. When it comes to financing, I don't think it's a major issue compared to other infrastructure works out there.

Like I said, though, I'm just going off the top of my head. I don't know finance or economics or vacuums or magnets.

There's a new LIRR train being dug in NYC called East Side Access. This is a commuter rail line, and is going to cost ~$10 billion or so[1]. Logistically these aren't the same, obviously, but if adding to the LIRR is worth ~$10b then surely the Hyperloop experiment is as well, right?

EDIT: Also, just for disclosure, I don't live in California and I'd probably never end up using the Hyperloop myself so I'm neither for nor against it versus any HSR. I just want to entertain the idea that cost shouldn't be the main focus of discussion IMO.

> Some colleagues of mine also did a short feasibility assessment of the original white paper, and came to some similar conclusions

Likewise. It sounds like above-surface (on Earth) is probably unfeasible given (a) security and (b) thermal concerns.

For security, we just contemplated debris from the track (or a bullet from an errant rifle) puncturing the tube. Hyperloop One is testing an 3.3m diameter and 500m long track [1]. That's 4,276 cubic meters [a]. "At sea level and at 15 °C air has a density of approximately 1.225 kg/m3" [2]. The air in the Hyperloop One test track thus weighs about 5,200 kg.

If we use the Hyperloop's original design spec [3], a puncture means air on one side at 1 atm expanding into the space on the other at 1/1,000 atm. This simplifies to a wall of air moving at just below the speed of sound. Since the speed of sound is about 330 m/s [4], the end of the tunnel will could hit with a pulse with about 140 megajoules of energy [b]. That's the energy in about 30 kg of TNT [5][c].

> I hear that they've ditched the compressor altogether, but that's got to have a pretty big impact on expected speeds

It currently sounds like a vactrain [1] with magnetic levitation [2].

"Non-profit" is a whole different kettle of fish than "non-commercial". It doesn't mean you're not selling anything. It doesn't mean you're morally good. It just means you registered for a particular business status with particular restrictions. And it's not what CC is talking about.

A key part of the Open Source Definition is that you do not lose your permission to use and copy the code based on what you do with it. A project that you aren't allowed to use anymore if you start making money from it is not Open Source.

"Non-commercial" code restrictions are more like the thing where you're allowed to look at the Windows source code, if you're an academic and you ask nicely and you won't ever do anything with it.

Yes, but, there is more to it than that. No matter what shortcomings the parents may have, you don't get to be a functional adult without someone feeding you, making sure you have the opportunity to attend school, etc.

Some years back, I read an article about sexism in India and how first born male children were fed slightly better, taken to the doctor slightly quicker, etc. The outcome could be measured in terms of higher death rates for daughters.

I am not talking about girls being beaten, starved or otherwise abused. I am talking about, for example, boys being taken to the doctor in the evening, girls being given a "wait and see" attitude where they get taken the next morning if they aren't better.

Just getting a child to live to adulthood takes substantial commitment of resources. There are a billion different ways that parents can fuck a child over completely without trying to do so and with no malice aforethought.

Most people who cannot make their lives work had multiple seriously bad things happen to them as children. This is not a case of "If you just try hard enough, you can readily put that behind you." If you aren't in prison, homeless, a junkie, dead, etc, a lot of things went right right in your life that are completely outside of your control.

This does not negate the effort it takes to make life work. But if you think you are the greatest thing since sliced bread, you are taking credit for a helluva lot of stuff you had no control over at all.

The Barriers Stopping Poor People from Moving to Better Jobs
I've been following Godot for some time. Development of 3.0 is progressing nicely and looking to have some great features... C#, GDNative (script bindings for other languages: D, Rust, etc.), asset library, a more modern graphics pipeline

My understanding is that those coming from Unity often get tripped up by Godot's scene/instancing system because it's somewhat different than how prefabs work. Subtrees in a scene can be broken out into a separate scene and instanced. Elements as basic as a bullet should be implemented as a scene and then instanced and customized as needed. A common sentiment I've seen is, once it "clicks," they can't imagine going back.

I've only spent a few hours in Godot since recently cloning/building the master branch, and I already have a nice force-directed graph implemented. If it gets to a point where the number of graph nodes affects performance, I can move the force calculations from GDScript to cpp or another native option.
It's hit a milestone.

Fake followers and fake engagement are widespread on Instagram - much more prolific than advertisers realize. I’ve worked with “influencers” for years. In the past few months brands, advertisers and agencies I speak to are voicing their concern. So, I'm helping build a product (based on analysis of 80 million profiles so far) which will allow brands steer clear of fake influencers, e.g. those women being paid $X/month to walk around NYC and promote handbags/yoga clothes/etc. based on the 50k fake followers they've bought from some website.

This is just companies being bad at interviewing. I have never in 20 years as a programmer implementing a sorting algorithm on the job. And it's completely irrelevant to operational work.
Theoretically they could be binary patching. By using a disassembler and a debugger to understand what's going on, in many cases bugs might be fixable inline, or by replacing old functions with a redirect to where it's been redefined (if there wasn't sufficient space to fix inline).
I'd guess that it would be traffic-expensive for bots to produce impressions, unless its a distributed botnet or it is a question of survival for bot accounts.

Disclaimer: I'm invested in Ethereum, and not Bitcoin. There is no good reason that Bitcoin is still going up once Ethereum came on the scene. Transaction times, transaction cost, decentralization, future development work, consensus under one leader all favor Ethereum. The only reason I see for Bitcoin to still be strong is that it has name recognition and first mover advantage. People talk about "Bitcoin" and "cryptocurrency" as synonyms. If you want to "get into cryptocurrency" you buy Bitcoin. I think this is a bad thing, but I don't know what it means. Anyone have any insight with a differing opinion as to why I am wrong? Does anyone know a good reason (technical or economic) Bitcoin is going up while Ethereum is not?

> The Hyperloop alpha paper explicitly contradicts this assumption on page 18, where the flow diagram gives the compressor input at 99 Pa and the output at 2.1 kPa (a 21:1 pressure ratio)

One standard atmosphere (atm) is defined at over 100,000 Pa [1]. The 21:1 pressure ratio in Figure 11 on page 18 is for the "passenger plus vehicle capsule" [2]. I'm talking about the tube.

Going from 99 to 2.1 isn't hard. Going from 100,000 to 100 and then keeping it there is.

This is FUD mostly, Rust uses the same release model as Go, or Linux.

1.X is backwards compatible to 1.(X-N), and the releases are on a regular cycle... like Go and Linux (well minus semvar stuff, linux just doesn't break userland). Each release _does_ add new things, but they don't do _break_ old things.
