This used to happen to me when flying, but years of therapy and xanax has paid off. I used to cry on strangers on planes, and now I can fly without medication. I know you tried some things, but perhaps consider therapy.
> 3000 fpm is nothing crazy, especially for an emergency descent with a depressurized cabin.

Definitely not. Some quick googling suggests that 7000 fpm is not uncommon in emergency situations, and really you are only limited by the comfort level of the passengers (as you come back to a lower pressure-altitude). If they drop spoilers and go for ground you can probably be on the ground within 5 minutes flat, assuming a nearby airport.

(and with a depressurized cabin, the damage is really already done in terms of passenger comfort)

A friend was on a flight where a passenger had a heart attack in-flight, he said it was like being on an elevator and his inner ear was screwed up for days.

> I have extreme, and I mean EXTREME anxiety (190+ BPM) whenever anything even remotely wrong (turbulence) happens.

You're not alone. I have really bad anxiety during turbulence too, and I used to skydive competitively. I've flown with people who have worse anxiety, but mine seems to be getting worse over time. I wish I could control it, because I know turbulence is natural and not dangerous, and it still makes my blood boil. It's preventing me from traveling more.

The things that have helped me most are deep breathing exercises, and noticing what "turbulence" in a car or bus feels like compared to an airplane (as in, often worse in a wheeled vehicle and it doesn't bother me.) I haven't really tried any drugs.

Had a good conversation earlier about this, on an article about turbulence, if that interests you... https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14993955

Someone I know wrote a Java implementation of the small VM for an open source project that had a simple C interpreter. My first thought was "wait, why?", until they mentioned that it was more than 10x faster and much, much easier to write and extend. You basically get a very good JIT engine for free. Not gonna underestimate Truffle after that.
I'm not trying to pile onto you, and it does sound like you have a lot to deal with, but... we've all known the deadline for a full year (give or take a couple days), and there's no real reason to wait until the very last day, hours before they're due. If they grant an extension, will you have them filed tonight anyway, or will you wait until the extension deadline?

I waited until just last night... so I was in a similar boat, but if for some reason I hadn't gotten them turned it, it would be on me - nobody else. You have to own your decisions, and take charge of your life - otherwise it'll just feel like a sequence of random unfortunate events... impossible to get out from under. Upon reflection, I certainly could have spent the 3 hours it took me to file my taxes back in February if I had set aside the time.

In order to sincerely claim a car has the hardware needed to support a full self-driving capability the car would need several LIDARs, several good quality cameras, a high-precision GPS receiver, and a respectable Inertial Measurement Unit.

If you get all that hardware, $5,000 is a great price; back in 2005, any one of those components would have set you back that much.

Of course, if Tesla doesn't have that full complement of sensors - and from the price, they might not have all those sensors - the promised self-driving capabilities may never materialise.

I didn't switch. I never started.

Paper filings are converted to electronic records, but they are also scanned, and the images retained for some amount of time before being destroyed. They might also do as much OCR as they are able, and ask a human to verify or correct, rather than do all the data entry by hand.

If the internal digitization system goes down, well, the envelope still has a dated postmark on it. That makes it not my problem. Securing the pipeline between employee workstation and database server is likewise not my problem.

I don't want to explain further, because I don't want to discourage other people from e-filing, and it would contain some assumptions that I cannot verify. And it also contains the personal assumption that I will almost always wait until the last weekend before the filing deadline to even look at a form, because of a procrastination habit.
It’s not particularly sensational, it’s just British slang. Very much in the tradition of Private Eye et al. I find it a little disappointing that HN mods believe British slang is a reason to depart from the original-headline-only policy when any amount of SV hype is let through unchallenged, tbh.
So Graal can do more than Hotspot's C2 compiler so may be able to run your code faster than a stick JVM, Twitter have had some very good experiences with it. The JS implementation is very different to Nashorn's so it may be faster for your application.
The author would be wise to look at clojure.spec, a project which has leveraged parsing with derivatives to revolutionize dynamic language data validation.
Since it is solely a mental thing, you can work on how you think and how you choose to respond to your environment. If your fear is caused by your unbound imagination due to your lack of knowledge of how planes work, you can work on that. Learn how planes take off, stay in the air, land. There are YouTube videos and offline, on-site courses that explain everything in detail, what each thing does, why it does it, what it looks like, what it sounds like, what effects it has on the plane.

I think these are more questions about Gaia than Stealthy, but apply to any multi-user application on Blockstack:

Not at all. The fact that you can replay any ATC recording is in no way a motivator.

Listen to some guard frequencies with aviators displaying such a lack of professionalism it may make you question how we’re allowed to fly.

What you’re hearing is hundreds or thousands of hours of flight time; many of which are spent practicing forced landings, and the radio language that becomes second nature.

VHF requires you to be incredibly clear when speaking, a single shared frequency enforces short messages that are to the point.

I can pretty much guarantee neither of the flight crew thought about any potential inquiry until after they had made a safe landing; as that would’ve been their only focus.

The Graal compiler is compiling Java code to faster machine code on top of the JVM. Also GraalVM's JavaScript implementation uses an entirely different approach by using Truffle for its implementation making it significantly faster. Also GraalVM ships with Node.js support, tooling and other languages.

That was my experience as well. In the suburbs you generally knew your neighbors, at least more so than in the city. I live in a city now, and I run into my neighbors and chat with them, but that's about it.

Also, the suburbs tended to have more kids and generally be safer (not as much traffic). As a result, I spent most of my youth just hanging out with neighborhood kids. And my parents hung out with neighbors.

French arms, training, and actual troops were pretty key to that victory, with massive covert support from 1776 and overt support (for which Britain declared war on France) from 1778.

> The Bitcoin Difficulty adjusts dynamically so that a proper hash is found on average once every ten minutes.

So here, the bitcoin network needs to defer to the actual time.
The difficulty is adjusted every 2016 blocks. Then, the time it took to create those blocks is determined by looking at actual time stamps of the blocks. That is, time stamps that purport to be the time in UTC when the block was created.

I never understood how these time stamps are trusted and reliable. If I recall correctly, a block with a creation time that is 'too far of' is supposed to be rejected by well behaving nodes. Yet, getting accurate time-stamps is the problem bitcoin is trying to solve.

I suppose that for almost anyone, it is feasible to get time accurate down to 60s and that might be enough that the difficulty calculations aren't affect as much. Especially due to the averaging over 2016 blocks.

edit:

I found this link en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Block_timestamp it states that:

> A timestamp is accepted as valid if it is greater than the median timestamp of previous 11 blocks, and less than the network-adjusted time + 2 hours. "Network-adjusted time" is the median of the timestamps returned by all nodes connected to you.

So the limits are quite loose.

(An interesting footnote from memory)

The difficulty calculation contains a bug where it calculates the average block time ignoring either the first or last block. Thus, the block time is slightly wrong. However, changing this would be a hard-fork because 'the running concensus code is the spec'. That is, if you fix this bug everyone has to fix it at the same time.
> The plane was never "going down" as one passenger is quoted saying

- they lost an engine

- the cabin depressurized rapidly

- there was unknown damage to the slats

- there was possible other structural damage to the aircraft

- someone nearly got sucked out of the plane

Given all that it seems like a major exercise in backseat driving to conclude that the plane was 'never going down', at that point in time passengers should be excused for thinking that might happen.

After all the only reason you are writing this is because you know that they landed more or less in one piece but that wasn't a given at that point in time.
Not at all. ASCII 0x07 ("BEL") can do anything as long as it notifies the user. Traditionally it makes a beep (volume, duration, and frequency unspecified, settable on X Windows with 'xset b') but implementations vary - OSX Terminal plays the system warning sound, while my Zipit Z2 frenetically blinks an LED.

Of course you can also configure all the alphanumeric characters by changing your terminal font. I'm only half joking - it's not supposed to be important what the letters look like, only what they mean. ASCII art is not guaranteed to look good, whether or not it uses tabs.

Nah, Chase makes more money from charging credit card interest on balances than on interchange fees. It's something like 2-3 times as much as the interchange fees last time I checked. The interchange fees have very little consumer default risk and typically more than cover the marginal cost of issuing more credit cards.

Being scared of credit card interest is actually correct. It's just that it's a manageable risk through having the proper budgeting and financial habits. Take the fear, use it to make sure you could operate on a cash basis instead of credit if you had to, and then pay off every credit card statement on or before the due date.
In my experience, being an amateur mathematician is more fun that doing it professionally, and potentially just as productive. You don't get nearly as much time for math, so you make the most of it and work only on the most interesting problems as opposed to just writing another paper. There's no time for beating your head against the wall, so you just do it when you're inspired, which is how problems get solved anyway.

All your examples are describing various aspects of the space itself, i.e. all objects that you listed are just different collections of points/records/objects.

A hierarchy, or a graph in general, is different in that, in addition to describing a set of nodes/objects/records/points, it additionally describes relationships among these things.

So a hierarchy (graph) is two sets: points (objects/etc), and edges (relationships) among the points.

This reminds me of my favorite unit of measurement:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Micromort

If there is a 10% chance of collapse every 2475 years, that is ~1.1/10million per day chance, or 0.11 micromorts. That assumes 100% death during a collapse, and that the person spends all day in one of these buildings.

0.11 micromorts/day is very low, which makes the design criteria reasonable. Of course, I suspect our ability to predict infrequent events with any degree of accuracy is unlikely.

I can tell you one thing going on: legendary stop hunts.

But I don't think it's the exchanges who are behind them, but other big players.
Most museums and galleries here are pretty awful. There are a handful of good ones, but there's only so often I can go to those.

Chess. I used to be really in to that, but have spent so much of my life playing chess, that I've weaned myself off of it and in to other pursuits.

Theaters tend to have the most trite, lowbrow plays imaginable. Most movie theaters are the same, and for the handful that aren't, they play somebody else's movie selections, not mine. I'd just rather choose my own movies and watch them at home, and save some money.

I just don't like musicals or parades. I sometimes go out dancing at clubs, but almost none of them play music I like, and anyway do cater mostly towards what's really popular.. which around here seems to be house, EDM, and drum and bass.. none of which I like.

Then there are bars. I'm just not a bar person. Haven't had much luck in making connections with random people I meet there, and am anyway almost always way too shy to even try. Other than that, I don't want to go somewhere to just sit and pay for overpriced drinks.

I've gone to a bunch of events organized on meetup.com, and way too many of those are poorly attended moneymaking operations trying to get you to pay money for classes or events. Most of the rest I just don't find even remotely interesting. Despite that, I've gone to a bunch of events that seemed kind of remotely interesting, and those have been largely disappointing.

I sometimes go to lectures at the local university, but most of the ones they have are pretty uninteresting too.

Overall, I guess there are options, but most of them just aren't for me, for one reason or another. Also, it takes effort to seek out things to do, and for me the payoff is so low that usually I don't even bother.

I haven't completely given up, and I still force myself to go out anyway, but mostly it's a chore and not worth it. Usually, I'd rather just stay home and read a book, make some music, paint or draw something, surf the web, or maybe go to the library. All solitary pursuits that I usually enjoy much more than the various "event" options in the city.
