In Euler's time they still didn't have a correct understanding of higher order differentials, so the work from this time period has genuine errors that you would need to be aware of. Might I suggest an alternative? There's a wonderful little book by Nathanial Grossman called 'The Sheer Joy of Celestial Mechanics' [1]. It assumes vector calculus of course but otherwise might be just what you're looking for. From a prepublication review:

> Don't look for axioms to memorize. Too many courses are consecrated to teaching students to play chords on a set of axioms. This book celebrates the heroic age of calculus, the time of Euler, Maclaurin, Clairault, Lagrange, and Laplace, a time before delta and epsilon. [...] mathematics was invented to do things, not just to be talked about, and today - still - its greatest triumphs are what it can do.

If you've got questions about them I'm happy to answer.
It’s a good idea to start looking for a new gig, you never know, but better be proactive.
300 million were recently voted as an increase in the budget to solve this issue. If more money is the issue we should see a decrease as this enters the system.

But who are we kidding, it is not. A huge portion of them are too mentally ill to take proper care of them selves; A huge portion prefers the freedom and the drugs and another portion needs forced drug treatment.

But all we ever hear is more money is needed, never what that money should be spent on. Because we both know it won't be spend on more cops to arrest people who shit in public, to keep those arrested for drugs from the places they previously frequented, or to raize illegal homeless camps.

Show HN: A new tab page that shows tech/news headlines
A more credible source (The International Journal of Life Cycle Analysis) puts the figure at about 3.9MJ per litre, which equates to 4.1KWh per US gallon.

That figure includes fodder production, processing, Tetra-Pak type cardboard packaging and transport to retail. It's based on the Norwegian dairy industry, but the US dairy industry should be in the same ballpark - the transport inputs are probably greater, but the inputs in production are probably lower due to lower welfare and biosafety standards.

I feel like IDM sort of stalled, too. At one point, it seemed like we had some great minimalist work being done, some outstanding glitchy-sounding IDM coming from Autechre and Aphex Twin, and now there's-- what? Nothing, maybe.

Hello everyone!

First, a little background: 4 years ago, I found a chrome extension called Tabbie (https://github.com/jariz/tabbie) and instantly fell in love. However over the years, bits and pieces of the underlying stack started deprecating, and eventually, it stopped working entirely. For the past year or so I couldn't find any comparable chrome extension that worked equally as well, and so I set out to create my own.

Thus I created ctrl-tab. ctrl-tab is an open source Chrome and Firefox extension (powered by Vue.js) which lets you customize your new tab page with feeds from the most popular tech and news sources, including Hacker News! (For the full list of supported data feeds, check the website.) You can add/remove tiles via the menu and drag and drop them to make it look like how want.

Currently, the Chrome extension supports logging into Todoist (very BETA), and I plan on adding many more login options, starting with (Reddit). In addition, I am working on supporting custom RSS feeds to allow you to add any sites that the extension doesn't already cover.

Please report any bugs you encounter, as well as any providers you would like to see added here: https://github.com/ludicrousxyz/ctrl-tab! I would love to hear your thoughts and answer any questions you may have!

Thank you!

Yeah, but they don't and won't see it that way. The people with these types of reactions seem to think things go away when you make them illegal (probably aided by them having never actually seen the problem firsthand anyway).

You can choose to heed their views or not, but they still get to vote the same as you.
Why is California perpetually mystified that more government means less service? Because, it is hard for people to understand something when their paycheck depends on them not understanding it.

That’s what most providers claim. In my experience (healthcare Corp finance), it’s typically closer to breaking even on Medicare. Especially if you cut out some fluff/unnecessary spending companies like to engage in. I’ve worked with Medicare and they actually try to do a bottoms up, zero based, pricing to determine what something should cost. So when a hospital is built by some award winning architect and has fountains and statues etc. Medicare doesn’t cover that (donors often do in the hospital example, but not other lines of services). I often have to explain to C suites that Medicare should be seen as a high volume that basically helps break even thus covers your fixed costs in entirety and making commercial patients all the more profitable.

That said, every branch of healthcare works different and could be upside down from this where they make a ton on Medicare but not commercial
I've certainly considered it, especially since I found out that fman uses Qt and Python: https://www.qt.io/fman-built-with-qt

From my initial tests with Qt, it isn't as convenient as Electron since I already have a fair amount of web dev experience, but maybe it will be worth it in the long run (and for the performance benefits).

More precisely: to avoid collisions with high probability, random IDs need to be twice the size of sequential IDs for a fixed number of IDs generated, thanks to the birthday problem.

According to one of the first DDG results, “Mountain gorillas are one of the most endangered animals in the world”.

Supposedly this isn’t the case for the species of whale being hunted and the fishing is actually sustainable, according to other information posted here and on Wikipedia stating there’s a population of 500,000 minke whales and they are on a “least concern” list.
In that context no I meant California.

I don't know, I just know it's been working untouched for over a decade. They don't use the water for drinking or cooking, though.
I believe the concern with whale hunting is less related to the suffering of the whales and more related to biological diversity. Hunting has already driven many whale species to extinction with several others on that same path.

Whales are of particular concern because, once their population is reduced, it is very hard for them to reestablish a large and healthy population. I believe because they have such low offspring rates.
The $3B figure is an estimate. Techcrunch doesn't have the real numbers. That would explain why they don't compare the $3B to Epic's 2017 numbers; because they don't have those either.
Same in Denmark, at least for DUI. You'll get roughly 10 x BAC x monthly salary (post tax). A local footballer famously got hit hard by this, with a fine of DKK 842K (~ USD 130K).

This absolutely disproves the existence of a shortage. The labor participation rate is currently only 63%, which is relatively low for the post-war era. Let me know when it reaches a historic high. Until then there is zero hard evidence of any labor shortage.

'State school' is used to refer to state (as in United States) funded university or college. This may not be common across all regions though. Private schools for pre-university students are not that common in my area, which I assume has something to do with the specificity of the term here.

Note: I think I was less than clear. In my area 'state school' is a way to refer to university or college that is primarily or entirely paid for by state government.
Isn't that the issue, though? In places where legalization has gone smoothly (I have personal experience in Oregon), cannabis shops are a dime a dozen, weed is cheap, easy to find, and certainly better quality. There are over 10 shops within a 10 minute drive of me, I can go buy an ounce for $50.
Michigan legislators waited until 2 am to pass a controversial law not allowing Tesla to setup showrooms in the state. The state's car dealership organization and General Motors spent big money to make this happen.

Tesla already has a tool and die operation in Grand Rapids. They've even expressed interest in acquiring a closed GM plant in Detroit yet the state stands in rare bipartisan opposition to them ever selling cars here. The nearest place to order a Tesla is Cleveland, Ohio

I find it very clear, it's simply just a bald assertion, and "asshole" makes it meaningless, since that's entirely subjective and not falsifiable at all. And time and time again doesn't tell us how many times we're talking about, and what you "finding" that means, what kind of examination precedes it, if any. At the most basic level, a phrase like "I find Jazz great" doesn't express the result of a thorough investigation, it can simply describe an opinion.

Does that make them an "agitator, racist and asshole", too?

How is such a broad claim not also kinda agitation, especially if it's on the backdrop of people already knocking people off platforms in an organized fashion -- with no word about what is to become of them, simply because some people are considered undesirables, or "assholes"?

Well, I liked the end-of-level screen, but the rest of UI was not so new-user-friendly, especially not sleepy-new-user-friendly.

About half the time I was staring at the instruction "the box will unlock now" with the box in question still behind a closed door before trying to pull the door harder.
A couple of factors played into this.

Terrible maintenance (well known issue with this airline). Seriously, a plane in US is HIGHLY unlikely to fly this many times with this type of issue. So in the US, risk of this even happening is MUCH lower.

We don't hear about the situations pilots respond properly too. Despite the other person correcting me, most pilots do know this stuff in US. Go arounds, single engine landings, stab trim cutout etc all happen with some frequency.

Runaway stabilizer has a cutout switch and wheel for a reason, the manual control you describe. It's actually a memory item - memory or recall items are used for time critical situations with risks of severe aircraft damage. You do the memory items and then look at checklist. There are not that many.

My own view here - despite what others are saying, if pilots had cut out the electric trim, they would have been fine.

99% of time flights go per the plan and are boring, so pilots do sometimes take shortcuts. They don't brief the flight properly, they don't maintain a sterile cockpit, they don't look over past issues on a plane before takeoff (maintenance log book) and they don't follow procedures exactly.

Planes are so safe a lot of pilots lean HEAVILY on the automation. So I'd be very curious about cockpit voice recorder. It seems almost impossible to go 12 minutes without doing the 20 second memory item.

An example - properly using an elevator - you hit the button, when doors open, you enter. If doors closing you hit the button outside again or hit the door hold button inside and then enter or WAIT if doors don't open. The sensors in the door to avoid crushing you are meant as a backup.

BUT, folks are so confident in those backup sensors they skip the procedure, and actually stick their hand into a closing door on purpose to keep it open. It works 99% of time I'm sure - but there will be that .01% where it doesn't.

That's like flying. 99.999% it actually works if you take a shortcut (ie, in many cases you can cut out trim with control column input). But that IS NOT the actual procedure. So you see pilots say things like, "I've always done it this way", and yeah, it works 99.9% of the time BUT the designers intended you to follow the damn procedure - in which case you'll almost never have a problem.

Another problem, you remember what you do. So if you are used to cutting out stab trim with control column as a shortcut and not switches, then yes, you could be in trouble here, especially if you never fall back to the actual procedure. There was a change here which mean more cases in which stab trim would be flight commanded and some shortcuts wouldn't work on it.
>Not sure how much of that you look at as natural

All of it. Humans are just a bunch of apes, fully part of nature, and the universe experiencing itself.
I prefer the workflow that the author does, minus the Jquery just so I can maintain some street cred. document.querySelector solved 90% of what jquery solved for me anyhow. For consulting clients, I've done plenty of what I consider the "exotic workflows".

My determination is that the primary benefits of react, angular, et al is that they organically create hierarchies among a group of multiple developers. It also creates a sense of depersonalization / derealization that helps everyone feel like they're working on their own while they're surrounded by people. Woe the walls we build!

I actually mentioned pigs because they are supposedly quite intelligent and have even been human pets in some civilizations.

You’re right that this is a case of hunting wild animals vs farmed animals for the species I listed, but I don’t see farming animals as inherently more moral. Hunting is definitely problematic if it places a species in danger of extinction, but the article claims the minke whales aren’t anywhere close to endangered and my own internet searches seem to back this up.
Yeah they should have moved the repos to an org.
yes to the first part.

to the second part, I would rephrase that to: it has vulnerabilities related to phishing.
By rewarding someone for certain past actions you are definitely influencing what their decision would be in a future similar behavior.
The main issue with retargeting is that most advertiser go all-in with it.

Instead of being a (friendly?) reminder that "hey, want to check us out again?", it's more like "hi, you've seen this 25 times at least, you sure you don't want to click me?"

So they spend an awful lot of money on what is visual spam rather than being a bit more measured in their frequency cap.
This already exists. Its called Pit Stop (https://sfpublicworks.wixsite.com/pitstop). But they are only open during certain hours, because they require a full time attendant. If these locations were left unattended they would quickly become unusable because someone would either decide to camp out in one, destroy it, or both. The same goes for the permanent public toilets that spread throughout the city.

Additionally most businesses will no allow homeless to use their facilities out of fear. Even if most would be respectful, it only takes one person to disrupt or destroy a restroom and cost business owners thousands of dollars.

But as the old adage goes, you can lead a horse to water but you cannot make it drink. You can provide the toilets, but you cannot make people use them. Many of these people have mental or drug related problems. So even if you provide a toilet, there is no guarantee they will use it.

I’m stoked that unikernel papers are still popular (and there’s still a lot of unexplored territory), but it’s not exactly a groundbreaking area!

I share the original post’s sentiment about the lack of exciting operating systems research around topics outside of the standard areas like file systems, memory management, and security. Especially since these issues, for many people, are secondary to the perceived features of operating systems (like drivers and widget toolkits). I’d love, for example, to see some truly fresh ideas for new or different system calls (in addition to Fuchsia and Haiku).
But privacy is a very arbitrary and usually differs from culture to culture.
I have no idea what your point is. Sargon of Akkad is ostensibly being kicked of Patreon because of what he has said not because of who he are.

Actually, it is categorically different. You'd be hard pressed to hunt salmon to extinction even if you tried because they spawn hundreds of eggs per female each year. The same cannot be said for any species of whale.
