Terrain operations are done on vector svg-like objects, not pixels or polygons.
Physics is also done in vector space.
Terrain is converted to polygons just before rendering.

Was kind of fun :) With the right terrain the physics let you drive your tank round and round in a loop with centripetal force.

Venezuela has some of the cheapest electricity in the world thanks to subsidies... but spikes in your power usage at home will land you in jail [1].

One workaround is pooling power from your neighbors, but the legal risk and setup are enough to deter most people.

Meteor is an "opinionated framework", but there is no lock-in - you can use any NPM package you want.

Where in the world do clerks spend all day answering FOI/RTI queries? I feel people greatly overestimate the typical volume of requests, having personally known at least three FOI officers in two jurisdictions.

When you're seeing elevated request volume, it's likely that there's something substantial worth requesting, which is exactly the point of this form of legislation.
How about using something like Websockets to reduce outbound cost? It'll have anyone on the page viewing the media also host the media for their fellow web surfers. If I recall, there is a socket-based bittorrent library floating around somewhere - https://github.com/webtorrent might be a good start. :)

I am sure that I can find flaws in some of the best identity systems in the world - but I am not sure if just finding faults make a good discussion hence I am not going to do that (in addition to not want being labeled a cynic).

Also when you say the costs are not proportional to the benefits... I don’t know if it needs to be proportional, also is there a well researchered study that talks negatively about the overall value provided - I find that hard to believe ?

Usually legislature is free to spend money on programs as long as it is not against the law or constitution and judiciary can’t interfere on such matters. I don’t know what is in the scope of S.C w.r.t Aadhar - I can see some kind of violation of civil liberties within its scope... but I can’t see how cost benefit analysis is within SC’s scope. So I may not comment on it until it plays out.

The cost in maintenance and development for native on mobile is generally on par with web stuff. The web stuff version carries overhead and for non-trivial apps a non-trivial cost that offsets the relatively cheaper labor cost. There's rarely a good reason to choose web over native.

The notion that web-based cross platform development is less expensive just hadn't panned out in any organization I've been a part of.
I would use Meteor again as it excels in this area. Meteor 1.6 works with the latest Node LTS version (currently 8.11.1) and therefore is compatible with all modern code.
> they didn’t have data on my particular viewing habits and a psych profile

I'd bet that 8-year olds (as a population), with their under-cooked brains and extremely limited autonomy have MUCH more predictable psych profiles and viewing habits than adults as a population.

Anecdote for illustration: I, and everybody I went to school with, watched the same show when we got home from school. How much more predictable a viewing pattern can you get? Plus, you can bet that I wanted whatever toy they were advertising, and bugged my parents about it as soon as I could.

Thinking about it, I'll never see data to confirm this but I'll bet childrens' TV advertisers have better conversion rates than Facebook, with all of its carefully mined and organized profiling data.
That's probably the most expensive route you can go once you have any decent traffic.
The brain zapping and some other symptoms were impossible to describe accurately and I have trouble even remembering them properly. The feeling was alien.

> It's one of the negative consequences of mainstream media / political free market rhetoric considering regulation harmful.

Well regulation can be harmful if it protects the incumbents and prevents the introduction of new players. Lobbyists are usually pushing for more regulation, not the opposite.

It's not about regulation or not regulation, it's about what kind of regulation makes sense for a free market.
I don't know of any apps that do this exactly, so maybe if you want to stay within YouTube you could try restricting to a playlist. But that still has the possibility of random videos playing at some point. I've also been looking for something that allows me to loop videos, although that's more for creating a TV-channel like loop for my grandparents.

To be safe in this situation I'd just use something like youtube-dl [1] and save filtered videos locally. Kids tend to watch the same videos over and over, so why not save bandwidth/battery life and store it locally when it's so cheap to do so. And since it's likely cartoons, the compression is better saving even more space. Tip: You can download playlists, so if you set a cronjob task to download a playlist you can add videos to it from anywhere you have access to YouTube.

Would a type system that can verify whether array access is always in-bound implicitly encode arithmetic somehow? My gut feeling says yes, since I don't know how one would prove bounds without arithmetic, but I don't have the mathematical knowledge to back this up.

I've actually used that combination before and I would hate for the person that DDoSed me to know how much they cost me.
Its static type is something like:

dynamic -> dynamic -> dynamic

That's because that's how dynamic type systems work, from a static typing perspective. They defer typing until runtime. Properties of the code proven before execution aren't usually very interesting.
Yes this popular "imbalance theory" holds true for all of mental health from bipolar to depression.

That's always been the case. The problem is that, especially over the last couple of decades, people have built lots of systems with a central assumption being that phone numbers are uniquely tied to individuals.

So, instead of fixing those systems, I guess the idea is to adapt phone numbers to the faulty assumptions made about them.
This comes up every once in a while. For a couple of years I worked on conversion filters for Word Perfect. The problem getting 100% compatibility has nothing at all to do with the "openness" of the file format. It has to do with the fact that file file format doesn't tell you how to render something -- the renderer does.

Just to give you an example, the file format tells you that there is a foot note. If the footnote doesn't fit on the page, then you have to paginate it (continue it on the next page). The file format doesn't tell you how or when to do that -- it just tells you that there is a footnote. Word happens to paginate footnotes incorrectly. Word Perfect paginates footnotes correctly. To import a Word document perfectly, somehow you have to break the pagination of the footnotes -- something that is practically impossible to do with a file importer.

Microsoft can't fix the pagination of footnotes because that's the way they've always done it. If they fixed the pagination, they would break decades of existing legal documents (which all have really long footnotes). They could add a new feature to paginate them correctly and tag them in the file format: For example "Here is a footnote. Paginate it correctly/incorrectly". I don't think they ever did that with footnotes, but they definitely did for a lot of other features (It's been over 10 years since I looked at the spec, so I can't give you a good example, unfortunately). Basically, you will see in the spec an option that says, "Render like Word 95", or something equivalent.

If you want to render Word documents perfectly (as well as your own), for each feature you need to be able to render it in your native style, and in style that Word has ever used -- even if these are fundamentally broken from a layout perspective. And then you have to add all of those Word styles to your file format, or else if you import it into your file format, you won't be able to save it.

Nobody does that, for obvious reasons. It's not Microsoft's fault. The opposite is exactly the same. That's why MS dug in their heels about not using Open Office file format -- it's an insane idea. I'm not a big fan of MS as a whole, but I interacted with the Word team a lot when I worked on conversions for Word Perfect. They were always extremely helpful -- to the point of sending me bug reports when I made a mistake on the conversions. They always knew that interoperability of their file format was only in their best interest and they did their best. Word is just a massive legacy system and they have their hands tied -- mainly because they always bend over backwards to maintain backwards compatibility for their customers.

I understand the feeling you are trying to get at, but in this case it is entirely misplaced.

I don't at all presume nefarious intentions. As if physicians don't try to make money. My original comment was a tongue in cheek defense of the status quo because I took offense at the comment that surgeons just like to keep cutting. Sure, I'm "just" a veterinarian, but I like to cut as little as possible.

I do know that doctors like to keep it moving. Surgeons like to start early and finish early. Nobody wants to get bogged down in a specific procedure. As far as profitability (or cost recovery, whatever euphemism) is concerned, doing several short procedures beats one longer procedure, even when surgery time is billed by the minute.

You ignore the fact that many doctors leave the strict employ of the hospital for a private practice that still bills through the hospital. While they are still salaried, they also get a profit share, usually divvied out on productivity. There is no one model. But you're right, I have no idea how it's typically done in IR, NIR, IC etc.

Have you tried to Request Desktop Site? It work fine for me on my iPad and iPhone, so I don’t see a reason why it won’t work on iPad Mini. Granted, it is annoying that you can’t set Safari to always load the desktop version by default and you have to force the desktop mode every time you open a new tab, but it is better than nothing.

I haven’t used an Android tablet in a long time, but I think those load the mobile version as well.

And lastly, I’ve never had a problem with the mobile version — I actually prefer it on touch based devices.

Thank you so much for the heads up! I love HH and have been sorely missing a new episode.
The book addresses this. The Monolith is an interstellar "seed" sent out to stimulate the development of other forms of sentient life. This scene is supposed to depict the Monolith stimulating humanity's primate ancestors to develop tool usage (bones as clubs/etc) and catalyzing our societal development as a result.

Next, we see Humanity discover the Tycho Monolith buried on the moon. As the lunar dawn strikes it, it unleashes a massive burst of radio energy towards Jupiter and goes silent. This is implied as being an alert that Humanity has reached a crucial stage of development and the stage is set for the completion of its mission. You can alternately view it as an energy-based life-form shifting from one repository/location to another. So the Jupiter Monolith could potentially be interpreted as being the same sentience/AI/etc.

The other confusing scene is the ending, where Bowman travels through the Jupiter Monolith and becomes a Star Baby. This is the Monolith finishing its mission, and allowing Bowman to shed his corporeal body and become a being of pure energy, like the Monolith and its creators.

So all in all, the movie depicts the Monolith guiding humanity through all the stages of its evolution, from primates to a higher plane of existence. Then we have several artistic interludes that connects these scenes... an idealistic depiction of humanity's technological development as Floyd travels to the moon, and then a horror sequence as one of our creations malfunctions and becomes murderous.

The book is vastly more comprehensible than the movie, without some of the narration that Kubrick cut it's pretty difficult to follow what's going on. On the other hand, from an artistic perspective, narration would have ruined the film (imagine David Attenborough narrating...) so it's easy to see why Kubrick didn't go that route, and his imagery actually does fit the sequences Clarke describes perfectly, as long as you understand what's going on. It just does a shit job of explaining what's going on, for the most part.
Wait a second. What if you're contracting via an LLC and they (the consulting agency) made you sign a contract that it's not an employee relationship?
This is not 100% relevant to your point, which I do generally agree with. But does relate to your antihistamine experience.

I also took antihistamines for a long period of time (15ish years) and eventually I got to the point where I got multiple nosebleeds every day I took one. Nobody told me that could happen when I started taking them. I went off for a year (thankfully I discovered nose strips to get me through the night) and now I can take the occasional antihistamine again without my nose bleeding all over. As a result I'm a bit more conscientious of what long term effects I need to be looking out for in any other meds I take regularly. Living without is just unfortunately necessary in some cases.
I got divorced a couple of years back, and needed to calculate something called the Hug/Nelson formula for community property division of NSOs/RSUs granted during time of marriage. I wrote a little python script to come up with the numbers. I thought about trying to monetize it (and other tools for helping tech workers with some of the more complex rules surrounding division of assets in divorce), but I figured getting the results to be accepted as forensic evidence would be a tough road. Plus my code sucked, and I really just wanted to not think about divorce and the legal system for quite some time.

Scary door type subtlty
I had a severe psychosis in my life which took approx 2 months to recover from. In the beginning, I could not sleep and felt like I was fully awake when I slept. I couldn't sleep either, though I wanted to so badly, and my emotions were virtually non-existent (the lack of self-pity was fun though). It occurred a while after I was off SSRIs (Citalopram) but not right after.

Newborn creates hormones, sure, but needs constant attention and requires high maintenance. There's no voluntary break. Ours needs to eat every 3 hrs. Can set my clock to it, and can't sleep right after feeding (she's gotta sleep first, or go through intestine pain). I know it isn't the end of the world, and given the psychosis I been through worse, but this is flat out rough [for me].

I wish I'd get positive emotions during weak moments. I mean, if I'd have that, they wouldn't be weak moments. After one hour of crying and trying to solve in every way I can think of I become desperate and feel lost. Its those moments I need to control myself and realise it isn't about me; its about her, our newborn. She's the one who's suffering, and doesn't know better. I wonder if it helps to cry with her.

> "prefer a wrapper that could run within unix pipelines around arbitrary text data files"

That sounds like [lnav](https://www.lnav.org).

For queries, it does use SQLite under the hood, but before querying your "arbitrary
text data" files, you can use regex to define a custom format (eg with named groups and back references), providing structure against which standard SQL is an ideal tool to query.

It's simpler than I'm probably making it sound. Highly recommended.
Erm, people don't have rc installed though. I had completely forgotten it existed, to be honest.
The real kicker here though is that it IS possible to have registered a separate email address in gmail with a dot. My wife has been dealing with this in the opposite, she has a valid first.last@gmail and another person has a separate firstlast@gmail. She has the dot but frequently gets emails for the non dot address. We’ve gotten to know the person over like 10 years. If we’re victims of some sort of con game, then they’re certainly in it for the long haul...
I also have some conventional/non-controversial ideas that ought to be verified - interventions that I have personally verified work as expected. I will look into the NIH's programs for funding these investigations.

Having been addicted to prescription pills, and currently being prescribed (and presumably dependent on) antidepressants, I think there are a few points that make the distinction abundantly clear:

1. When I consider stopping antidepressants, I'm not filled with anything like the dread I was when I thought about giving up the addictive pills.

2. I forget to take my antidepressants sometimes. I forget to refill the prescription sometimes.

3. I have never had any desire to take more than the prescribed dose of my antidepressants.

It's an important distinction, and unfortunately one that folks in the recovery community sometimes miss. In my experience the above characterization usually brings it home much better than some heavily medicalized description of addiction vs dependency.

I'm not familiar with these. Are the properties and methods that dynamically add visible in the code editor?

It seems C# work by subclassing the DynamicObject class. What about dynamically extending all the other existing C# classes?

What if I subclassed a C# Queue as MyQueue and then while my days long simulation was running I wanted add an instance variable 'trackCount' to all existing MyQueue instances? In Pharo all you do is this...
