I understand this is probably an honest question, so I'll just point to this wiki article:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drag-divergence_Mach_number#:~....

[Increasing Mach Number] can cause the drag coefficient to rise to more than ten times its low-speed value.

I only know this because of a number of fluid-dynamics courses that are only required for Mechanical and Aeronautical engineering majors. Barely anyone else is expected to know this information. Mach numbers represent fluid-flow discontinuities. If there is fluid flow in a varying inner-diameter tube and there is a Mach number change from <1 -> >1 at any point in the tube, as long as the Mach discontinuity is there, fluid flow characteristics before and after the discontinuity are decoupled from each other, they no longer influence each other if the Mach discontinuity is present.

It's really remarkable how vehicle reliability has improved. I can remember how hitting 100K miles was this rather remarkable thing that probably required a lot of tender loving care. Now it's mostly routine.

Mind you, if you live in a place with a lot of snow, rust still probably starts to take a toll after about 15 years or so but that's still a big improvement over cars in those places maybe lasting 5 years and 50K miles.

Yes gitlab so so much nicer to run on than Jenkins.

Sure there is something missing for more elaborate build pipelines, but not enough missing to block you.

The best think about gitlab vs Jenkins is that there are no plugins. So it’s very clean what is gitlab and what is your config of it.

Whereas Jenkins has so many plugins and config for the plugins that it’s hard to say where Jenkins ends and your build pipelines begin.
Really? And what's that spirit exactly? Being too full of herself? Since when modesty and humbleness are not in fashion?

Ha!! See, I think SMS notifications are still stellar! Because right when the offender steps in, in the height of righteous anger, you can yell (text) "STOP" and by law it must bug off!!

I'm curious as to the range that these things could be detected. No doubt there's some proportionality between island size and distance-detectability.

But there are a whole bunch (small) islands in the middle of a whole lot of nothing, so I'm curious to know how many were found on purpose and how many by accident.

>The lucky buyer went home with a certificate of authenticity and a set of instructions: the work, per Garau, must be exhibited in a private house in a roughly five-by-five-foot space free of obstruction.

There's some precedent here - the 'set-of-instructions-as-art-object' goes back at least the 70s (maybe earlier, not sure when Sol Lewitt first started doing them for his wall drawings [1], or if he was even the first), often used by conceptual artists as a tool to monetize/distribute (and institutions/patrons to support) an otherwise unmonetizable or undistributable practice. Kind of a retro move now in the age of NFTs and Patreon, but there's a history to it, even if this is probably one of the least interesting examples it I've seen

I can't imagine warranties actually have that much of an effect when it comes to depreciation.

In practice, the lion share of revenue on the App Store is made by games.

>NFTs have no mechanism to define originality, or even atomicity.

It always links to a wallet and thus proves originality. You're right, anyone can mint a mona lisa and claim it's a van gogh, but if it wasn't minted using van goghs wallet, it's not van gogh.

>It isn't a copyright grant, a contract, legal ownership, or even a binary container

Say i have an octopus NFT. I am the only person who can transfer ownership of my octopus. you don't need 'Legal' ownership, this is real 'ownership' of my keys. You can show that this EXACT Octopus sold for $50m and was previously held by a wallet associated with mark cuban. Yes, some random can make a duplicate octopus but it won't be created by my wallet, mark cuban wouldn't have previously owned it and it wouldn't have previously sold for $50m in the metadata.

>Owning a rare gun skin in CS:GO is much more "real" than an NFT is.

How many people own the 'Rare gun skin in CS:GO? would you trust the company if they said only 5 people owned that rare gun skin? What's stopping them from infinitely minting the rare gun skin and saying there's only 100 of them. Would you be willing to pay more for the CS Skin if only 100 people could have it, than if it was inifinite? If CS:GO was to adopt a standard blockchain for the sale of their NFT's, you could see exactly who had what skins and what the bidding price is for them. Complete transparency in scarcity.

Out of context excerpts from a 500 page book written in the style of Hunter S. Thompson is not compelling evidence to anyone but the mob and those seeking to be offended.

> I was taught long ago that the key to selling art is to give it a good story.

You laugh, but this is absolutely what art is, especially modern art. The best way I've heard to understand art, and this kind of art in particular, is that art is a dialogue - it's a concept and it's a reflection on its environment and its circumstances more than it's a piece of technical execution. This is particularly true of movements like Abstract Expressionism, which tend to garner a lot of the "my kid could have done that"-type comments - they're focused on things like exploring new techniques, on trying to make works with different materials, on trying to express concepts without using form or figure. Works often exist "in conversation" with other works - for instance, an artist may make a painting explicitly referencing another artist's work or as a refutation of a different school of thought, and these works may not be particularly interesting taken as an individual work, but if you understand their context, they can be a fascinating intellectual accomplishment.

All of that's a long way to say that if you just look at art as a decorative or technical exercise, you're absolutely not going to understand the art world or often why a piece is considered interesting or valuable - you need to also look at the context of the piece and what the artist was attempting to accomplish to get the full picture.

Unjustified bit of side-eye???

You really think that it makes sense to require the axiom of choice to prove that the derivative of x^2 is 2x as Robinson's ultrafilter construction does?

I personally like understanding infinitesmals, and knowing what the d in dy/dx means. And knowing that the notation for a second derivative, d^2y / dx^2, is not just arbitrary. This occasionally has uses. For example if you have implemented a numerical d function, for example as lambda x: f(x+h/2) - f(x-h/2), then d(d(y))/d(x)^2 is an excellent approximation to the second derivative.

But conceptually I think it is far better to understand approximation a lot more directly than using a complex construction for the infinitesmals.

The game assets only have value in the game world, which is run by a centralized authority though. There's really no point in transferring assets outside of the game at all, except to break the rules that authority has in place. Its much more efficient just to allow trading assets in the structure via an ingame auction house.

The exception is account trading and resale, and that's a huge minefield no digital creator really wants to happen. Being able to sell your character or library often has significant issues with little upsides to the functioning of the environment.
Good for the artist and good for the customer. By being outraged, you’re only feeding the notoriety that makes the work, yes, work, more valuable to the buyer and seller alike. The world makes no sense whatsoever if you believe in intrinsic value and spend your time judging the actions of others. If you wouldn’t have bought this, cool - but I find that even less interesting than an invisible statue.
I think there are missing concepts and features in gitlab. And the advertised features don’t really match reality. But it’s still way better than Jenkins, as you can work around any issues and it’s clear how it works. It’s just a yaml file.
But the artist’s statement of issuance is not an additional system. I’m still not sure what other system you’re referring to.
There should be some snooping/violation-of-privacy charges as well, but otherwise that sounds about right. CFAA is not relevant here.

How I would solve the Facebook iOS App Design Interview
> Does anyone have any insight into the major differences between native and web app in 2021?

No general insight, but Telegram has two web apps that try to emulate the native app [1]. They do work fairly well but are definitely glitchier than the native app (or any native chat app).

> For the rest of the differences, it feels like much of the benefit Apple brings to the table (view management, security, continuity between devices, distribution, ...), does appear to carry a premium when placed in comparison to building a monolith web app.

That might be true, but the value free apps like WhatsApp bring to the iPhone is unmeasurable and WhatsApp pays exactly 100$ a year to Apple for access to all the tooling.

Then just paste this code to start the controller.

Also you can change the config on the fly to change the target value, so you can make it do something else if you want.

For example:

config.z.target = 10.0;
config.pitch.target = -45.0;

JFK-LHR-JFK business class is about $9k assuming you're travelling fairly flexibly without a Saturday night away, at least pre-covid.

Even a month away I can't see a direct flight for less than $8k return leaving JFK evening of Jul 11th and returning July 16th.

The flights are pretty much empty at the moment, but they would be at any price. Doesn't mean that VS/DL will sell for $7k (undercutting BA/AA's $8k), it's effectively a cartel.
I had a similar idea last year, at the beginning of the Covid situation.

Toyota is the last automaker (historically) to integrate "new" tech into their vehicles. If you look at their current offering of transmissions, engines, or batteries they use really old tech.

However, this gives them a huge advantage in the reliability field as what is put into their cars is known/proven/shown to be extremely reliable.
Aviation has very high visibility of fatal crashes but a low overall rate. The car fatality rate is much higher but we treat it as routine because they are lower severity events at much higher frequency.
