Strangely enough, pie menus in blender was the first time I ever sat down and took a (programming) idea to full completion. Before that all I really was doing was hunt-and-peck at bugs and adding small functionality where it was missing.

Had to learn me some vector math, fix bugs in the python openGL wrappers, figure out how the openGL state machine actually works and then get it all put together in a reasonable way. Turned out pretty well and other people took that implementation and made it into a complex addon that eventually ended up being widely used.

It might have changed in the years since I did any blender programming but I had to do a lot of bug hunting and adding functionality to get python scripts working -- which was fine since most of the stuff I worked on was specifically to get the python API able to do whatever random thing I (or, more likely, someone else) needed.
The issue in SoCol is fires are normal, but building and living arrangements can't deal with that. If you want to live in those areas you need to build from brick and carry your own protection so a fire won't harm you....
Using Revolut and Monzo, I never had problems in South America and Asia (except for a few hickups with Revolut security options in Cancun). I've seen these kind of problems happening NUMEROUS times with plenty of different banks to me and my friends. It is just irresponsible to travel with a single bank card.
I think that greatly understates the problem. Even under the assumptions used to derive comparative advantage, the theory says nothing how the benefits of the trade are distributed. Not in "every individual's best interest" could well mean an entire country is worse off, and the other better off.

Even more crucially, it says nothing on what its effects with time are. It's optimizing for immediate benefits, with no regard for future ones. Export rice and import tractors, because it's cheaper at this moment, but it never lets you develop your own industries.
Are we assuming that margins don't exist and returns on invested capital are fixed for this thought experiment?

My preferred approach for command/control and metadata (like directory listings) would be JSON. HTTP already does file upload/download just fine, and there's no JSON involved there.
Where children are involved, acting "paternal" is appropriate and using that term in a derogatory manner doesn't make sense. A kid's entire browsing history could end up compromised on a Facebook server and go public and affect them for life. Even most adults don't fully understand that risk.
Quite so, that's rather my point. He backed the really wacky ideas if he saw potential, and saw potential in so much. I don't believe May or Corbyn, or any of the current generation of professional politicians of any nation, could have got close to that role with any amount of advisers or instructions. Churchill was an amateur scientist, and amateur lots of other things. He was interested in the world, a life outside politics, and in technology, in ideas. May would win the war by keeping people on message. Except that's how one gets Panzers in Parliament Square.

Tanks. The clearest example I can give of that Mr Churchill not knowing when to keep his nose out of things that don't concern him. One notable time he would not be told to butt out. They almost certainly would never have arrived in WW1 without him. When would war have ended, 1920, or later? The naval blockade was working, but so very slowly. The Americans, joining in 1917, still duplicated for themselves every mistake of the Allies in 1914 and 1915, except compressed into a far shorter time span. Machine guns without mobility made it inevitable. It needed an idea guy. I hope that doesn't sound too cliched, I'm far from Churchill's biggest apologist.

Churchill adopted tanks as his pet project. As First Lord of the Admiralty, whilst running the Navy, by taking funding from naval things. He formed the Landship Committee, and appointed a naval architect. The Army had thought them pointless. They were initially called land ships because the navy were the only ones who actually did see the point. The Army saw the point after first use. Then wanted lots more of them. The rest, as they say, is history and quite a few tanks have been built since.

Edit: What provokes downvotes here? Surely not for comparing current politicians poorly?

Aye, the scale needed killed them. Often held up now, from 70 years on, as one of his especially silly ideas.
It has to do with the intersection of the available orbits. Apollo launched from florida, not the equator. So Apollo was limited to certain orbits around earth. Extend these out to intercept the moon and there are only so many moon orbits available without burning excessive amounts of fuel.

The only way to visualize it easily is with a physical model. It is all about the angle of the orbits (planes) around the two spheres. You want to minimize 'plane change maneuvers' as they cost a huge amount of fuel (ie they require lots of Delta-V). Think of the earth orbit (the parking orbit before going to the moon) as a big piece of paper around the earth. The available moon orbits are where that piece of paper also touches the sphere of the moon. Now rotate the paper around the earth (the limited number of orbits from florida, between 25 and 90). As the paper rotates around the earth it also rotates around the moon. Some parts of the moon, as some parts of the earth, are not available.

Then add to this the sunlight issues. Apollo wanted to land in very specific light conditions. They wanted nice easy shadows (45) to increase situational awareness during decent and landing. The pilots practiced with the sun being at a particular angle, using surveillance photos taken with the sun at a similar angle. If the sun was too low/high then they might think a rock is bigger/smaller because of its shadow.
> if i was going to waste a bunch of time learning

Your problem is not what language to learn, your problem is that you think that learning is "wasting time."

> a functional language in 2019

Lisp is not a functional language, so your question does not even make sense.

If you actually want to help your clients, instead of selling them on bogus, inappropriate solutions (which, with your attitude and lack of knowledge, I guarantee is what you are doing to your clients today), you need to start actually learning the fundamentals of your field. If you think that learning is "wasting time," then you are not learning, you are, indeed, only "wasting time."

I am also a consultant, have worked with all the languages you listed, and I say the above to help you, and other people who consult, and me. Consulting is all about having a very solid knowledge base, continuous learning, and professionalism (which, BTW, includes basic writing skills, like capitalization). Attitudes like yours are why consulting engagements fail, and why consultants get a bad reputation. That only makes it harder for all of us to get work.
Because they used the free-return trajectory, which lies in the orbital plane. Also, landing near the fast-moving equator saves some delta-v.
How would it help to lower the costs?
Good question!

Yes. Two reasons: (1) we will auto-categorize your business card expenses, and (2) many tax write offs are split personal / work expenses. Examples: gas if you drive your car for both work and personal use, home office expenses, phone bill, electronics, etc. Those write offs are really easy to miss out on!

As with most things, it's hard to prove what actually happened definitively, but there are clues you can piece together to make a claim within a reasonable degree of probability. Things like what type of binaries were installed, what servers were reached out to, even what commands were run...if you collect enough data, it is possible to see patterns in how certain attackers (like USCC) operate, and if we assume a teenager in her parents' basement doesn't have access to the same tools and procedures as USCC does, then it becomes pretty obvious it wasn't her.

To a certain degree, if your server has malware X, and you can identify malware X (or something very similar) as belonging to actor A, and you know actors B, C, and D don't have X in their arsenal, then you can guess with high probability that you were attacked by A.

Intelligence is probably the most high stakes guessing game in history, and there are definitely smart people at the top who know that simple IP correlation is not enough to make this claim - but they likely have access to sensitive (confidential) data that further justifies that claim.

That's what the job interview is for!

In all honesty, I find how everyone behaves during the interview, and my interactions with everyone involved in the interview process, as the best indicators of how the business operates.
Love the idea and is very applicable to me. I no longer give access to my finances from any app but I would suggest building out an about page about the company with faces and names and backgrounds. I know you might be at the MVP stage but there's a lot of trust missing in a service like this.
I believe that it is about getting from the lander to the orbital vehicle.

If you go into an equatorial orbit, then every orbit of the orbital vehicle gives you a chance to get the lander back.

There is also a stable polar orbit where the orbiter stays lined up between the Earth and the Moon. Since the surface is tidally locked you again get the lander back easily. This orbit takes more energy to get into and out of for the orbital vehicle. But gives you mid latitudes with the Earth high in the sky.

What is hard is getting to mid latitudes on the side of the Moon. Now what happens is that the object on the surface turns away from the orbital vehicle making it hard to line up everything for the return trip. The lander therefore has to be much more capable to land and return at will, rather than waiting weeks for things to line up right.
It costs $99 dollars for a night light it better have a good design. I think I’ve spent no more than $20 on night lights that lasted a decade, maybe longer. I’m not sure I’d be able to read from it. The angle looks too low.

All that said I do want one but I won’t spend that much.

Nah, fuck that. I was a teenager. I knew what I was doing and so did the rest of us there. You guys are just pulling the same "think of the children" crap you did trying to get kids to stop playing Doom when they were _perfectly fine_ with it.

God, it's not like any of you would have given us a chance to progress. We had to take it and you will put all these damned walls in the way. The anti-abortion protestors of the Internet.

Actually unsurprising considering how protectionist HNers are. You act like it's the end of the world to lose your data. But you know what? I'm in my 30s now, if I'd had to have had my entire browsing history monitored it would still have been worth it because the alternative would have been languishing in never having the experiences I do now in the First World.
The stats you posted are for the total US population though, so that includes people who graduated 30+ years ago. It's probably more useful to look at current graduation rates or degree holders of a younger age. If you do, the divide between men and women (in women's favor) is more extreme:

I described the approach in my first comment: for 2018 (now it's over) look at the death rate and then apply estimate it uniformly going forward for all recorded births during the year until the surviving population goes to nil. The death rate is all the people who died, whether 1 jan or 31 dec regardless of the age of the deceased.

If you want greater resolution on a process like this you'll do better to search yourself than to reply on HN commenters like me.

SEEKING FREELANCERS/EMPLOYEES - NYC preferred, but remote quite conceivable

HappyFunCorp (https://happyfuncorp.com) - We're currently seeking:

- good Rails, React, and WordPress developers, as well as excellent technical project managers. We prefer people with a reasonable amount of experience under their belt, but there are always exceptions.

- a couple of excellent, principal-level, general-specialist software engineers who are comfortable leading tech teams, helping to identify and solve clients' real (as opposed to reported) problems, architecting solutions from scratch, refactoring existing codebases, putting out occasional fires, and moving fairly seamlessly from one project / language / framework to another.

We do web and app (and occasionally some blockchain) development for a panoply of clients ranging from Fortune 500 to brand-new startups -- right now the distribution is roughly 50-50 -- and we pay well.
Fully agreed on all points. But it remains a really hard problem. And when you start to do it out at the scale of something like Lyft, you're gonna blow through your available parts of that $300m (because you can't spend it all up front, obviously) pretty quick.

The care and feeding of fleets of (physical) machines is really, really hard and not to be underestimated.
There are no longer Task Bar notifications in Windows 10. Windows 10 has an Action Center which is similar to the Android Notifications Panel. Anything pushed to the user shows in there and doesn't steal focus. It can however briefly obscure part of the screen with the notification toast.
Why would they have so much data and so much computing. Would they be really dependent on that? Makes it scary to consider what could happens to their passengers if aws is down / hacked.
Scrum masters shouldn't be contributing ideas in terms of implementation or design unless they're also part of the dev team. They're there to facilitate. Product owners are probably more akin to "idea guys".

Edit: Even product owner is a bit of a stretch on my part. They're presenting user stories and requirements, which the dev team can pick and choose from the backlog (which, albeit, is prioritized by the product owner).
The business is clearly not sustainable..it’s not that there’s changes in demand but the company will literally run out of money in a very short amount of time unless something drastically changes with their business model
The fact alone that are 87 different mobile apps makes it difficult. Which one do you use? Is there a difference?

> where gathered data has to be processed and analyzed to count as 'collected'

I thought even then they didn't count it as "collected" until a human sees the result.

So they could ~~collect~~ record all your conversations, ~~analyze it with a computer~~ have a computer analyze it, and then then only have a human look at it if they think they will be able to justify having collected it.

The Case of a Commercially Successful Public Domain Game and its Unofficial Port
I don't understand the uproar around these numbers. Saying that 18% represents a clear intent to target teenagers strikes me as intentionally misunderstanding the math.

Teens, i would imagine, represent at least 18% of recreational internet usage. If anything 18% feels like it risks under-representing the group if i were designing research on the topic.

There are plenty of reasons to be upset with facebook (deceit, privacy, bs marketing, etc) about this very issue. All this hullabaloo about 5 vs 18% feels like manufactured outrage to me.

An Unprecedented Twist: A plan for supplementary gruel must be rejected
So Dan Carlin spoke about Gallipoli in his superb podcast "A Blueprint for Armageddon" [1]. It's more complicated than you might think.

Basically, Churchill recognized that the old battleships they had were, well, now useless. Given that, the idea was to use them to try and open up the Dardanelles because they were essentially zero cost to lose. The Admirals, who were quite attached to their ships, viewed this plan differently and rather than striking with no warning (damn the losses), went in and out and gave the Turks time to entrench themselves.

The plan was basically never to land anywhere there, let alone Gallipoli.

Now obviously the buck stops with Churchill being in charge of the Admiralty but there was a confluence of errors that produced that particular clusterfuck.

> I was left wishing that there was a better way to express the logical constraints, which in any case can be converted to integer linear equations, while keeping the linear equations where needed and possible.

SWI-Prolog's clpfd library allows you to mix linear and non-linear integer constraints with "reified" versions that allow you to write implications and such. Silly example:

?- [A, B, C] ins 0..3, A #< B #==> C #= A * B, A #>= B #<==> C #\= B.

This means "for values A, B, C each in the range 0 to 3, if A is less than B, then C is equal to A * B, and A is greater than or equal to B if and only if C is different from B". Is this the kind of constraints you were thinking of?
