It doesn’t have to be every frame though. Pre calculate to 25%/50%/75%, then as I’m playing, save key frames for more incremental points, and if I start scrubbing, calculate more around that region.

I think only those who make money off of war “like it”. The rest of us who are pro military simply see it as the only way. Diplomacy will only get you so far and if you don’t have a big pile of bombs to back it up then your diplomacy is worthless against a power hungry fool like Putin. All they understand is loss of power or gaining of power, nothing else registers in the brains.

I would say this is a good place to start. I did a Game Gear emulator in a single night with a buddy, having never written one before, just for the lulz.

You are bound to have an awesome game you can find on an 8-bit system and it's really fun trying to get to the point where you can play the game: getting the logo to appear, getting the title screen up, getting the sprites working, adding controls etc.
> That's not what the zoom buttons do in Pixel Camera and it doesn't switch at exactly the telephoto magnification zoom value but rather adjusts when it switches based on the available light because the telephoto camera can't handle low light as well.

Ooh TIL, thank you, I just tried it out, that's definitely a bit confusing. Would it work to just have 2/3 buttons that switch between the cameras? Or is this not possible (because you need to supply a zoom level)?

> You can swipe down for settings and can swipe left/right between modes.

That works definitely better!

Will keep an eye out on this, but after quickly testing the few things you mentioned in your comment my phone already got a bit warmer.

> I didn't specify which Jupiter I was referring to, the real, moving Jupiter that orbits the sun

This is why I said you can't gravity assist around the Sun to travel around the Solar System. The Sun is moving around the galaxy at a terrific speed. But so is the Solar System. Dropping into and out of the Sun's gravity well does nothing other than change your trajectory.
I am not correcting you since what you say is correct, but looking at other comments I thought it would help to expand a bit for the other readers.

In your static torque situation, the electrostatic motor draws 0 current at your constant voltage. And thus 0 power (instantaneous power is instantaneous voltage times instantaneous current).

Whereas a conventional electromotor would be called stalled in such a situation, in which case the coils of the electromagnets in the motor behave like inductors.

With the result that for a constant applied voltage the current increases linearly with time, until the parasitic winding resistance of the coil limits the current.

This means a stalled electromotor will consume energy without performing mechanical work, and all this energy will be dissipated as heat developed over the winding resistance of the coils.

If that heat cannot escape the electromotor fast enough, the insulation of the electromotor coil will be compromised, and you gradually loose loops of the coil as they short, further decreasing the total winding resistance (since the shortcut means a loop of single turn winding resistance less), which increases the current, and thus the power into the motor.

This thermal runaway eventually destroys your motor.

That is why you should immediately shut of electric motors as soon as you detect a stall condition (typically you will hear mains hum as the stalled motor is pounding whatever stalls the motor at twice the mains line frequency), and allow it to cool, while you resolve the cause of the stall condition.

So next time you use your bar blender in the kitchen, and you notice its struggling, or worse blocked, immediately stop the motor / back off, or let it cool. Don't just press the "boost" button for prolonged durations unless you like buying blenders over and over.
I mean, I really have to fight my brain from jumping into conspiracy theories at times. This is ABSOLUTELY one of them.

I don't get it, I thought this was a port of Processing to Python, but then the installation instruction says:

> If you have Java 17 installed on your computer, you can install py5 using pip:

So it still depends on Java? Is this like a Python wrapper for Processing?

UPDATE: Got the explanation. From another page on the website:

> Py5 is a creative coding framework for Python 3.9+. Its use and functionality is analogous to the widely used Processing framework. It is a Python version of Processing.

> Internally py5 uses Processing’s core libraries, which are written in Java, while providing the end user with a (mostly) seamless Python programming experience.

Emphasis is mine. The wording in the first paragraph (which is the same as on the project's home page) seems ambiguous to me. Reading it I would really not expect a Java dependency.
I'm all for conspiracies, but didn't a rare type of storm hit the boat?

There is a Chapter in “Turn the Ship Around”[1] where the author mentions a case of a navy officer (I think) that practically abandoned post because of all the unorganized ways and routines made him actually have sleep deprivation.

There are other tidbits of information in the book, of course from one point of view, that are mentioned in other comments here that are still happening and it’s baffling to me, not because I believe 100% of the book, but because you’d think at some point they would get fixed or partially mitigated with a migration plan.

I hate it such malpractices are still acceptable and even encouraged by an institution as important as the Navy.

1) it's not a proof by contradiction, it's a proof of a negation :grump:

2) I am not a fan of this phrasing "we can't simplify forever". Why can't we? It's obvious if you phrase it in the usual way as "the denominator is strictly smaller than it was before", but the "simplify" operation is kind of complex! They don't even mention "decreasing" until the very final Note box where they say offhand that actually it's an infinite descent (which is a critical part of the proof they've otherwise handwaved).
Hmm, so you think someone used weather magic to destroy their yacht? It doesn't seem much like a corporate assassination, unless you think the captain was bribed to be a little too far out?
The question is usually a bit more complex, such as "should we rip out thousands of readers and gates in our buildings, or can we maybe get away with switching to hardened cards using the same protocol for a few more years".

Not that I'd recommend it, but in most companies, physical security doesn't have a limitless budget just like everything else.
We do production runs with the rare service run. Most parts are one time use as you might imagine. Service work is the rare mold repair.

We are part of a few companies just in time manufacturing so they pay for expedite processing on orders as small a one piece to a few dozen. And we can get production run orders in the tens of thousands.
It's an important, if small, subset. And the greener option.
Fascinating! How does one learn to write C code that will make use of specific asm instructions?

SIMDjson is another example that comes to mind. The conceit of C is that you do t have control over the underlying machine instructions without inlining it yourself. So how do people write C code with cpu optimizations like this?

> Unskilled feels unfair, it requires a fair bit of skill, and you're also learning how to forge while doing it.

Both of those points are untrue. Strikers are unskilled labor and in general are not learning how to forge. The smith shows where he wants the hammer to fall, and they let it fall there.

https://acoup.blog/2020/10/02/collections-iron-how-did-they-...

> Things were worse for the many strikers and other laborers who were essentially unskilled hired hands or even enslaved laborers (given their depiction in artwork, it seems likely many ancient strikers were slaves) of much lower status and who could not expect to be trained into blacksmiths themselves some day. While some strikers were probably apprentices in training, it is quite clear that not all of them were! These workers would also have been far less richly paid; indeed, the entire point of strikers was to have laborers who could be paid very little but still amplify the production ability of the blacksmith himself.

Have you seen any studies on how quickly harmful growth can build up? I'd guess this to be pretty harmless if you change the mask regularly.

Pardon my directness, but the Military Industrial Complex is not a conspiracy theory. We were warned about by a POTUS. In fact, that POTUS was an ex-general in the military.

Yet The MIC has wiped itself from the collective memory of the American taxpayers. This shows how powerful The MIC is.

The Pentagon "fails" multiple audits, and there's barely a peep out of W.DC. Again, not a conspiracy theory

And then when Windows 12 comes out you'll be saying Windows 11 was the GOAT right? I thought Windows 7 was the GOAT!

I'm the person with the unpopular opinion that I would take Windows 11 over 10 any day.

Windows 10 has too much in the UI that still feels like a bridge between old and new.

They both run the same apps, so to me all the nitpicks and philosophical problems people have don't really matter much to me. I haven't found anything in Windows 11 that "doesn't work" or is even mildly annoying and it has a bunch of new stuff that's genuinely useful.

Like, it finally has screen capture utilities that don't frustrate me to use when compared to macOS. A bunch of little basic UI stuff like that where I feel it's an improvement. The Windows Shell is a major improvement. The notifications/quick settings area makes a lot more sense now.

Windows 11 remembers where your windows were when you undock from a second monitor. Little stuff like that where it was just slightly more frustrating to use than my Mac.

Windows 10 is also more poorly aware/optimized of modern hardware than a lot of people realize. It is an old os now. Things like automatic HDR in games just isn't there. (Really, gaming is an area where Windows 11's new features are quite clearly worth the upgrade)
Thanks! The rules for definite articles are also odd. Only very specific categories of proper nouns are articled. USA gets one because "of" is in the name. I think the categories of articled proper nouns is probably missing sports leagues, like the NFL and the NBA.

Yep. In case you don’t want to write Java you can do it in Python. But it uses the same engine
Let n = 2r, and n = xx for some integers r and x, because n is even and n is a square. So xx = 2r.

Because of the fundamental theorem of arithmetic, we know that x must be representable as the product of a unique string of prime numbers.

Because 2 is prime, then since xx = 2r, there must be a 2 in the string of primes for xx.

But since 2 is prime, it must be in x as well, because a prime cannot come out of nowhere. In other words, if there is a given prime P in xx, there must be at least two P in xx, because there was at least one in x, and the number of each one got doubled in xx.

Therefore xx = 2r = 2*2*y = 4y for some integer y.

Therefore n = 4y and sqrt(n) = sqrt(4y) = sqrt(4)sqrt(y) = 2sqrt(y) which is an even number.

Therefore sqrt(n) is even.
Yes, the runtime type check does happen, see [0]. The output is pretty much the same as with the Go example, only the exact wording of the exception/panic is different.

And no, the structural/duck typing is not about when the type checking happens. It's about not having to write "implements IDuck" right in the class declaration for the down-cast to succeed.

Tesla has also stopped making the low cost cyber trucks they promised. It seems to me like full size pickup/SUV market is not quite ready to be electified.
It could be in the software layer too. Modern smartcards have 'applets' that can run custom code. The cards themselves trend to be quite generic. This can even be in high level languages like Java or basic.

So if the code was there it's not the fault of the card manufacturer but the applet developer.
Entirely speculation here, but this is why I don't like lifting keel sailboats. I'm guessing that it was raised while at anchor which made it less stable.
No. The gravity of the Earth doesn't do any work on the probe. It's a coupling mechanism. The work that is done is by Earth's orbital energy around the Sun. That is the energy that is less after the spacecraft encounters the Earth than before. The Earth is "dragging" the spacecraft along with it around the Sun. Not trebucheting it.

Race is such a weak proxy for privilege.

A white kid from a trailer park in West Virginia with low-income, absentee parents is far less privileged than a black kid from Palo Alto with affluent, involved parents.

Affirmative Action (or DEI, the name doesn't matter) is a very crude, inaccurate tool to try to use to address the inequalities in the world. The genuinely privileged find ways around it (they have the money, connections and knowledge of how to game the system) while the underprivileged white kids born into low income households end up facing an impossibly uphill battle to escape the cycle of poverty.

To be perfectly clear to preempt uncharitable interpretations, I'm 100% anti-racist, I acknowledge the historical racism prolific throughout American history and I want a more just, fair and equal world. My point is that as a tool to achieve those goals, race-based university admissions and hiring is unproductive at best and counter-productive in most cases. It may be well-meaning people trying to fix real problems, but those intentions don't change the fact that it's ultimately harmful and a net-negative to the goals of a fair, equitable society.
It sounds a bit less like a conspiracy theory if you consider that the yacht trip was meant to celebrate winning the legal case. Which explains why key people involved in the legal case are missing... they were on the yacht. The only real coincidence is the land and sea accidents happening around the same time.

What’s with this ‘biological men’ stuff? How would you define that and what about chromosomal abnormalities like XXY or XYY people? If I have Jacob’s syndrome and a penis am I biologically male or something else entirely? Explain.

If you just want to have silly ideas about trans people, that’s fine because I’m done arguing with people over that. It’s a huge waste of time to get that interested in another person’s genitals but you do you. However if you’re going to use something as silly as ‘biological male’ you have to support that.
Alternative mobile OSes may work for banking apps, it's hit or miss. For example, SailfishOS (perhaps the only viable Linux distribution on phones, a successor of Nokia N770-N9) comes with an Android emulation layer if you purchase the license. Many banking apps work fine there.

Frankly, I find the current situation really frustrating from a security perspective and also because it has created a duopoly that is impossible to escape. Some banks offer SMS as 2FA (insecure, very susceptible to SIM cloning). Others offer push notifications inside apps (iOS or Android with Google Play services) which is not really a second factor, and pushes you to either Apple or Google. I wish hardware keys were more widespread and/or ChipTAN was still an option.

In Texas, three hospitals (Baylor St. Luke’s Medical Center (BSLMC), Baylor College of Medicine (BCM) and Surgical Associates of Texas P.A. (SAT)) agreed to pay $15m as part of a settlement with the DOJ. These doctors/surgeons were booked for multiple simultaneous procedures that they could not have possibly conducted, even though they recorded things to make it look like they conducted all the surgeries. In reality many procedures were performed by unqualified residents and other caretakers and not who the patient was told would be performing the procedure.

> To make it seem as if the teaching physicians were present during the "entire" operation, they would lie on medical records, the court filings say. The medical staff also would not tell patients that the surgeon planned on leaving the room to perform another operation, the documents continued.

This only came out because of a whistleblower, and because the DOJ pursued it. It is nearly impossible for a patient to know if they are wronged or harmed this way because they are put under for these procedures, and because friends/family are typically not allowed to observe or record anything (likely to prevent accountability). And then there’s the cost of lawsuits, the stress, and limitations under law (like tort reform in Texas) - it’s just lucky that this was pursued by a government agency (DOJ).

> Under the False Claims Act, the private whistleblower who reported the allegations will receive over $3 million from the settlement, the Justice Department said.

We need more incentives like this, but we also need greater penalties and jail time for the practitioners and literally everyone who knew. They should be investigating who was in the room, what was recorded in logs, and who accessed records, and go after all of them. Right now, this settlement achieves nothing. Some articles claimed that these hospitals made more than $150 million off these procedures for which they are settling the lawsuit for just $15 million.
FTA is massive overkill. For every number n, either n can be expressed as 2k for some k, or 2k+1 for some k, but not both (proof: by induction); in particular the square root can too. If the square root is (2k+1), then the square is 4k^2 + 4k + 1 = 2(2k^2+2k) + 1, which is by definition odd, not even as we supposed.
I reply to every support request that isn't an obvious scam. It feels rude not to.
