If I understand your objection correctly, you're saying that there are two directions that maintain constant bearing between the missile and the target, one bearing that brings the missile closer to the target, and one bearing that sends the missile farther away. This is true, but in reality it doesn't ... make any sense. If the pilot points the missile in remotely the same part of the sky, the closing bearing is the only bearing in the front quadrant of the missile.

Historically, I don't think any missile designed to target aircraft has ever been fielded which use the strategy you suggest. (lots of air to ground missiles do) It works fine if the target is flying straight and level, and you fire from directly behind them. But if the target has even a shallow turn towards you, the rate at which the missile will need to increase its rate of turn will increase exponentially as it closes with the target. If the target is aware it's being shot at and from what angle, all it takes to avoid the missile is to keep it at your 3/9 o'clock positions (steadily turning towards it) and it will miss every time.

The first generation of radar guided air to air missiles in the 1940s use beam riding. The missile would attempt to keep itself between the target and the shooter.

The first generation of (infrared) AIM-9 Sidewinder missiles in the 1950s used a mechanical system to perform proportional navigation; it spun the sensor at a fairly high rate of speed, causing it to act as a gyroscope. The sensor was pointed towards the target on an internal gimbal. But since the sensor was a gyroscope, if corrections had to be made, this meant the target was not at a continuous bearing. So the same corrections were sent to both the gimbal and the missile's control surfaces.

These days, everything just has a microcontroller in it, so there's no need to design such electro-mechanical Rube Goldberg contraptions to get proportional navigation to work.
I'm not entirely sure what you're saying, but it's a little bit odd to me that a non-religious person would necessarily have an irrational fear of anything you mentioned. Where, in your world view, is there room for someone who can think critically and make rational decisions? Why must all of these totally reasonable things that make up our world be feared?

For me, what doesn't work is trying to write it out on the computer. Writing down thoughts requires a level of clarity that I might not have yet for a particular task. I find that a shower or other bathroom break helps to organize my thoughts. Walking outside is a bit too distracting.

I need to try to get up from my desk more when stuck. There's a bit of inertia to overcome in getting up from my seat, but it would probably be more efficient, thinking wise.

You raised a good point about all belief vs religious belief.

Which beliefs do you take on faith? Which would have you outcast if you didn’t believe them? Which lead you to a personal sacrifice? Which beliefs cause great anxiety or pleasure with no tangible evidence?

Not comprehensive but those are categories of beliefs elevated to religious in nature.

For example, believing that the Lakers are the best basketball team probably is not religious, but believing that your life got substantially better or worse following an election would be a religious belief.
Does anyone else just…not care? Files is a system app like Windows Explorer. It’s not meant to “compete” with anything. Does anyone think Control Panel competes with Android’s Settings app?

iCloud Drive is a cloud storage competitor that Files works well with, but Files also supports Dropbox and Google Drive and many other storage competitors (anyone who wants to implement the API gets to be in Files). Also, the argument that Files is somehow replacing Dropbox doesn’t even make sense because you need to have the Dropbox app installed in order to connect Files to Dropbox. It’s not a standalone integration, it depends on third party apps providing the correct extension to work correctly.

It’s surprising, to me at least, that everyone accepted Files coming packaged with every new iPhone and iPad sold, but for some reason its position in the App Store is a controversial topic? How many people even delete Files and search for it again? Not to mention that installing system apps from the App Store doesn’t even install anything, because the app was never removed, just hidden from Springboard.

It's crazy how fast a new religion can globally emerge nowadays.
Except it’s mostly physicians inserting the data. If you compare to prior years you can see a 1000x increase in deaths... it’s a crime to submit a false report and presumably the anti-vaccine crowd would have always posted BS results.

I think you’re being ridiculously dismissive. That system has been used for decades to track at this point.

Unfortunately, it’s the best we have. Ideally, the vaccine of a phase 3 trial for a new drug platform (ie mRNA vaccines) would at least have a good mechanism for reporting. Unfortunately vaers is the only public record we have.

I think what they’re saying it’s now a lot harder for indie developers. Sure if you’re Instagram or FB you’re OK (though even those companies take issue with the 30%)

They just haven’t looked after smaller developers. The introduction of paid search ads was just so hostile to anyone without a massive budget - or rather anyone without a high lifetime value per user, making initial outlay on acquisition make sense. All it does is incentivise this dumb model of free apps with endless sneaky bullshit in—app purchases.

Or, worse, the new subscription-everything. I don’t want to pay a monthly subscription for a god damn gif editing app! I just want to buy it and that be that. But this is now rife.

In the western Europe, software developers are making so little money, they are literally "working for food". There is no other place on planet with a worse TECH-JOB-SALARY-TO-AVERAGE-SALARY ratio. And, unlike other poorly paid jobs in the western Europe, as a software engineer you will not have a nice weekend that you can spend with your friends and family. You will learn the next upcoming framework... No wonder the tech industry in Europe is dead.
And serious software developers having serious fun. They included the opening scene of Infocom's version of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.
Quake 1 relied on fast floating point maths. So it would run on a 486DX (the variants with floating point) but very slowly. Intel's Pentium at similar or even slower core speeds has much faster FP maths, resulting in Quake on a mid-range Pentium PC running rings around Quake on the top-spec 486, whereas most other games from that era would be faster on the 486.
> if everyone is "religious", you've set a very low bar for what qualifies as religious

And if everyone has “beliefs” then you have set a very low bar for what qualifies as belief which makes everyone a believer.

You are playing a silly power game where you dismiss other people’s conceptual schemes so you can peddle your own.

My view of the cosmos is that it is a computer simulation.

It isn’t clearly false. But it is clearly a religion. Even though it is backed up by the fact that all asymmetrical/equational reasoning (all of the Mathematics supporting Physics/Cosmology) is computational.
I don't think most people would think of puddles as having telos. Telos goes beyond what is and looks at purpose and meaning in terms of what ought to be. Puddles don't really have a purpose in that sense, and neither does evolution. Puddles fill voids, not because that's their purpose, but simply because that's what happens when you have water, gravity, and the right kind of void. Likewise for evolution. I know some people like to ascribe telos to evolution, but they're simply wrong, at least as adjudicated by the evidence.
Well, it’s trying to find a set of standards that are equally applied to everyone no?

If I kill someone and call it “self-defense” and someone else kills someone under the same circumstances and I call it “murder” that doesn’t make sense does it?
Much as I tend to be in favor of language evolving, I react almost viscerally to 'compute' as a noun. It is a major irk.
A lot of the secular world is just neoliberalism, which is pretty clear about what it is and how you criticise it.

Other branches are definitionally critical of various binary systems(all of the LGBTQ things), describing them instead as continuous systems, or even complex planes.

I don't think such definitions are very useful. They're very limiting since the world is full of edge cases, and your ideology is unlikely to handle all of them well, but is also likely to require you to handle some of them poorly
As a non-religious person, certainly I understand many of my beliefs come from convention or intuition or whatever non-rational source, sure.

But I don't have any meta-belief telling me to hold onto given beliefs-that-seem-implausible-or-unverifiable because I'll be rewarded in the end or because it's a test or whatever. I don't continually change whatever belief I know is arbitrary but that's because consistency has some utility so point remains.

Basically, I have no trouble with non-rational beliefs and behaviors. But religious specifically espouses irrationalist beliefs - irrationalism being the exhortation to keep, cultivate and fixate beliefs beyond the rational. Institutions other than religion, various flavors of Stalinism say, promote faith, fixating one's beliefs and so-forth. I'm against those too. But a wide variety of secular belief systems are against the irrationalist approach - some versions of liberal religion try to escape it too but as people observe, these folks are kind of becoming non-religious.

Edit: Just generally, "everything not-wholly-rational is a religion" is a slippery argument that's being way-abused in this thread.
The scientific method does not make that assumption. The scientific method only assumes/requires that doing the same thing exactly the same twice will produce the same results. Everything is built on top of that.

> that our perception allows us to interrogate these properties.

That's not about science, that's about logic. Anything that can interact with people can be detected and interrogated. It does not exclude the possibility that other things may exist but there is both no way for us to interact with those things and, as such, they have no relevance to our lives.

We never had a true working class party or the same kind of safety net as they have in Europe, because all the class divisions could be papered over with free stuff and money- first, a whole continents worth of free land, and then when all Europe was destroyed, a 60 year burst of huge profits. So you know, it’s material conditions in the end. Matt Christman and Sean KB did an excellent podcast on this called History is a Weapon: Q is You.
You can’t if there aren’t any jobs like that in Europe.
You're likely going to get poured with downvotes from the large number of atheists that browse this forum, but I commend you for the brave comment. Now let me join you.

Effectively, yes, the primary atheist deity is material and worldly pleasure. How that's particularly expressed is of course different per person, but the core is that the atheist follows the deity of their whims.
I think the key bit is that "fe-" is not some sort of prefix, but part of a totally different word that had its spelling changed for consistency. This is unlike the "wo-" in woman, which in fact a prefix originally meaning "wife".

Weirdly, English got "man" from Old German (meaning a person), but "human" from the Latin "homo", so just like female, the "hu-" in human isn't a prefix either, but derived from a totally different word.

Then again, "man" extends back to proto-Indo-
European, so maybe it's all related regardless.

> usually start from an assumption that the core tenets are more or less true.

You use this as a criticism of religion but I find it's true of secular people as well who have baseless beliefs that are just as deeply ingrained.

Telling someone on hackernews you are religious you will probably get a ton of criticism and downvotes. You know what will get the same reaction? Telling someone you are a moral nihilist.

Why is murder evil? Why is stealing evil? Why is anything evil or good for that matter? At least religious people have answers to these questions. (Although I don't think they are necessarily good answers, why is something good because some omnipotent being said so? what if that omnipotent being was evil?)

I feel like I'm screaming at windmills but everything people get hysterical over in our modern world is baseless. All values do not stand up to scrutiny and can be argued against using the one word question "why?"

edit: I was predictably downvoted, please don't take this as me complaining and trying to claim victimhood because it truly doesn't affect me. I just find it funny how uncomfortable my comment makes people that are supposedly open minded and critical of their beliefs but surprisingly share the same beliefs as their entire social group.

I'm not disagreeing with you that I wish this information weren't public, but the fact of the matter is that it is public, and breaches are possible even if you have no relationship with company that was breached (see Equifax).

That might be how it works in astronomy, but not in particle physics. The collaborations which build and operate the detectors are also the people who get to analyse the data. There is "open data" but it's released after a long embargo period and is much less complete. (In fact, you won't find any LHCb open data yet because CERN won't give us enough storage to host it.)

Officially, all qualified members sign all papers. The names of the people who worked on an analysis are not publicised. There is already a preference to only work on analysis, because it's cheap and easy (no need to send people to CERN or kit-out expensive labs), but that doesn't help much in the way of actually collecting data, so "service work" shouldn't be discouraged by attributing extra credit to people doing analysis.

Institutes sometimes write press releases such as this where they exaggerate their involvement. In this instance, only 2 out of 10 people in the analysis group are affiliated to Oxford. It's very disingenuous not to acknowledge that they're part of a larger collaboration.
Yeah, the mindset behind a (georgist, i.e. high) LVT is that land is a public good with an opportunity cost. It is a pigouvian tax against speculation, hoarding, and underutilization.

Humans are sentimental creatures though and "grandma has to sell her home" is a powerful image.

I think a good compromise, that would also allow Prop 13 to be phased out for good, is to allow primary residences below a certain value to deduct taxes against the home value up to the limit (ie defer payment until the person dies, then the estate settles the debt, most likely out of selling the home) and at that point not owe more. That way grandma never has to leave her home prematurely, society still captures the lost value of underutilized land somewhat, and there is no ridiculousness with commercial properties, inheritances, very wealthy people paying no taxes, etc.

>The one where instead of saying "here's a good book", you side-eye your friends and say "OMG Becky can you believe it, they are reading Twilight! THEY think it's a GOOD BOOK! a-haw-HAW-haw-HAW!", where the purpose is not to enjoy whatever book you are reading, or to share good books with other people and why you think they are good, not to improve the quality of books in general or to observe and people-watch with curiosity, but to re-inforce that people who read Twilight are inferior and therefore your group is superior.

Except the entire point of my comment (fairly, rant) was to tell the people who refuse to read Twilight that they should actually try reading Twilight instead of asking their circle of friends who probably haven't read Twilight but insist that it's garbage because all modern literature is infantile commercial pap whether it's worth reading.

>If that's correct and they don't know how wrong they are, how are they going to identify as the target of your rant and change?

They won't. They'll do what you're doing, attack me personally and lecture me and, ironically, attempt the exact same "status grab" you're accusing me of. Except something tells me you'll wind up with far more invisible kudo points at the end of the day than I will, because defending Hacker News and refusing to admit its flaws is always a better social strategy than criticizing it. Who's pushing whom under the water here?

A recent podcast episode I watched had a doctor who said something that stuck with me: "when it comes to sleep, it's about the quality, not the quantity". A small amount of high-quality sleep gives you more actual rest than a large amount of lesser-quality sleep, they said.

Not sure how true it is, but it seems to line up with my life. I'm also a long sleeper who's still often lethargic during the day. But I find that some (legal) inhibitory substances can bring me into what feels like a much more restful sleep, and I wake up feeling very refreshed and energetic for the whole day. My eyelids feel less heavy, I feel like a fog is lifted, and I just feel better in every way.

I suspect my average sleep quality just isn't very good.
