Great service, too bad they aren't looking to work around the need for Java, which is the main reason they claim to be closing, in that most browsers no longer support it, and installing Java is something most won't be bothered with.

> the Coanda effect is not essential for a wing to work

Indeed. The easiest way to see that is to take a piece of paper about the size of a wallet size check and drop it while giving it a little bit of spin around the long axis. The paper will fly, and the reason it flies is exactly the same as the reason a non-spinning wing flies. See:

I enjoyed learning and using it. The syntax is annoying though.

These days I've been happy with Python + gevent for the kinds of things I was using Erlang for (writing load test scripts w/ lots of concurrent connections). I never had much need for what OTP offers.
The FAA does a pretty good job, but internally they treat their employees pretty poorly, which in turn results in quite a bit of slip. You just don't always see it because it's caught by employees who ARE invested in their careers and in flight safety in general.
Presumably the qualified applicants who would be tempted by higher pay already have jobs. If they leave one job for another, that doesn't actually reduce that 4.8 million number. It just moves the unfilled job from one company to another.

at least for web development it seems almost mandatory.

That may be true, but there's a whole world of programming jobs out there that have nothing to do with "web development". There's all sorts of internal corporate app stuff, embedded system/firmware, control systems / automation of various sorts, scientific computing, simulation software, data mining / machine learning stuff, etc., etc., etc.

Not sure what you mean by reverse scrape. I'm not sure what you mean by finding people that don't have certain type of code part.

The closest example I can think of is a website that has hundreds of links to other domains and you want to scrape the email address from each of those. For example, a client recently wanted to collect contact information from all the businesses but every business web page looks different.

I have the impression that the explanation of "Why wings work." is driven towards the Coanda effect more.

However if my puny brains don't misunderstand, I would think planes can fly mainly because of drag.

Question: What would for example happen if we move a imaginary wing, with a infinite surface (so that there is only a bottom) at an angle of attack.
Yeah lift has nothing to do with air following a "longer path" on the upper surface. A flat plate is symmetric, but makes a pretty decent wing for small angle of attack (unfortunately it's structurally untenable). The article confuses the Coanda effect with the Kutta condition, though both arise from air viscosity.

Much like criticisms of the Catholic healthcare system for choices involved with starting and ending lives, I'd imagine the Mormons think "I can't help but noticing that we had to put in a hundred years of work before we had something impressive enough to justify your criticism, but if you want to replicate it to nose tweak us, I suppose that's going to be an educational experience all around."
Strange, I was thinking Detroit in "Robocop".
Yes, please excuse my ignorance of the technical use of the terms.

It would be interesting to see an experiment that isolated any divergence of the airstream caused by Coanda-like effects. I don't know what that experiment would look like, nor if any lift at all would be generated.
I'm not sure why you got downvoted because our experience matches yours. Just like everything, this mantra needs to be put in context. There are different stages in a startup life. It is possible that some strategies would cease to be valid once you go beyond certain stage.

I find it very positive. Those developers need to pay their bills and not all open source projects can survive from university students building up their CV portfolio.

Once upon a time I was a strong FOSS proponent, during university days. Then I worked in environments that were FOSS friendly and seen up close that making a living out FOSS doesn't really cut it.

Yeah, you can define it that way too. But that's not a very useful definition when you're actually flying an airplane.

Along with the battery suck, it also generates more heat as the GPU has to output 2 signals.
It's not a hard experiment to do: make an airfoil out of cardboard and stick it in front of a fan.
One warning to the novice is that his experiments all take place at a very low Reynolds number. It's very difficult for neophytes to visualize flow at these scales, not least because the shape of the viscous boundary layer is on nearly the same size scale as the wing itself. In fact, it was long believed that "ideal" wings for aircraft would have a very thin cross section, primarily because this is what worked so well in the tiny wind tunnels of the day. Just look at the difference between an early WWI fighter and a late WWII bomber. (IIRC, we actually lucked into this for structural reasons! Thicker wings are easier to build!)

Over and above that, because the Coanda effect pertains to detached streams, it doesn't actually apply to a baseball, nor to wings. The author seems bright enough to handle potential flow calculations, and it would be a very instructive exercise for him to model a 2D flowfield around an airfoil without circulation, and then to input enough circulation to account for the Kutta condition at the trailing edge. I would advise using a "typical" cross section to avoid certain irregularities around the leading edge. Fundamentals of Aerodynamics, by Anderson, is a wonderful read, even if it is surprisingly infuriating to learn how hopelessly wrong typical aerodynamic intuitions are.

My fluids prof used to comment that people feel perfectly confident making pronouncements about aerodynamics where they'd be appalled to make the equivalently technical statements about brain surgery.

You do see the occasional case like Thalidomide, which is an amazing story of how Dr. Kelsey saved Americans from a very dangerous drug (prescribed for morning sickness, but caused terrible birth defects) which had a hand in transforming the FDA into the agency it is today. She was awarded the President's Award for Distinguished Federal Civilian Service, but I don't know about any cash windfall for doing such great work.

Doctors and regulators in the FDA who protect the public from these drugs / drug companies are heroes. Perhaps it's not just the whistle blowers who should be getting 1/3rd of the settlement, but another portion should be set aside for performance awards for key people who made the case.

I watched this BBC special about a British couple experiencing the German life. It was eye opening.

First, German workers are forbidden to use social media or check their phones at work. So, instead of checking your text message or facebook, you interact with other workers.

Second, workers are given bonuses based on team output. No competition, rather team must work together to get better bonuses.

Third, German's don't ever drown themselves with a mortgage. They just rent for life, but I hear that housing condition is excellent in Germany.

Fourth, German mother's are incentivized to take care of their children. The heavy taxation discourages moms seeking jobs. This is important for child's development to have a mother around.

Fifth, German kindergarten is more like spending time in nature, getting dirty in the forest, climbing trees and such.

Sixth, students who aren't interested in studying can go to trade schools and take up apprenticeship like the article described.

For the above reasons, Germany seems to work less hours yet have greater output. They are super efficient and practical with their time. The government also places heavy emphasis in making sure the traditional familial obligations are maintained.

What an awesome country.
Look, I am a doctor in San Francisco, cardiac anesthesiologist, did my residency at Harvard and fellowship at Mount Sinai. So, I am not a piece of crap. But everywhere I go I repeatedly see smug and condescending behavior from techies toward everyone else, including me.

While I'm aware that discussing the framers' intent is common when arguing constitutional law, that wasn't my intent at all.

Why can't the locals deal with a reservation system? The fields are a shared resource paid for by all SF taxpayers, not just the local community. It seems the city did its best to inform everyone of the reservation system but some people will just ignore the rules. Not that I think it's right that the kids can't use the fields in the evening. I don't know all the details. Maybe there are some evenings blocked off for unreserved use. Maybe the locals want no reservation system at all. There has to be some give and take here. This has been turned into another anti-gentrification, anti-tech issue. At least some of the tech-workers are SF citizens and "locals" too. In some other parts of the world reservation systems work.
Looks like you're getting downvoted, even though your statement is basically correct. It's very sad that it's getting harder and harder to have a fruitful discussion here on HN. Some people are more interested in downvoting based on their immediate emotional reaction, rather than having a rational, honest discussion.

If you disagree with someone, then reply to their post and try to have civilized discourse, don't just immediately try to censor them.
> Why should I have to go to some stupid store to get a SIM card when I could just switch online in 30 seconds?

Because online you'll be limited to whoever Apple has a deal with. SIM cards are about freedom. Sure, an online infrastructure and the laws to force an implementation of it are technically simple, and could be done, but with thousands of carriers in 200 countries, it's never going to be all-encompassing. SIM cards being mandated in the GSM standard in 1991 was amazingly forward-thinking and we have a lot to thank for it today.
A lot of great points shared. I like how door dash talks about hacking solutions together to make it work. To improve the efficiency the way a business is ran you have to understand all its components. In their case it was driving cars, charging transactions, etc. starting crappy is ok as long as you continuously improve.

This number tells so much about the improvements in developer productivity over the years.

Adjusting for TVM, the same revenue is now supported by far fewer engineers (obviously not all 3,200 employees where engineers). The Netscape engineers were highly skilled, so the change in the number of engineers cannot be explained away by differences in engineering skill/capability.

One could make a distinction between parenting and parentage, and under such a distinction there's not really any such thing as same-sex parentage yet.

(And this distinction is completely orthogonal to the question of whether same-sex couples get the right to be legally recognized as a couple or parents.)

I imagine that over time, any purported complete genealogy will make those distinctions but come to include information about both.
That's not a reason to keep a stupid, obsolete design around. It's a reason to fix the problem correctly with a modern public key infrastructure.

First, a pretty face, high IQ and physical strength do not translate into power the way, say, a hundred million dollars does. Sure you can hurt people if you're physically strong / attractive / smart, but not that many people.

Second, if you believe law should only punish us for actually hurting people and not potentially hurting them, then you are against speed limits.

Third, taxes are not punishment any more than piracy is theft and abortion is murder.

It's delivering food daily for the whole country, and was initially within Paris. They moved it outside Paris to make it easier to access by train.

It's a place folks love because that's where you get the freshest stuff.

I live in Dijon (300KM south of Paris) and I can get fresh Fish that most of the time come from Rungis.

Now, yes. I'm fine with that. But there were already rumblings years ago about them wanting to take the SIM out of the equation. Obviously that's their goal. As long as the GSMA doesn't allow that (since the GSM standard mandates a SIM card) then this is a fine solution.

I wish I could agree, but there are a few howlers in there. The significance of compressibility at low speeds around typical airfoils (M < .3 and no slots or blown flaps) is truly negligible, and the flowfield can be very finely approximated with uncorrected potential flow methods.

Also, the author mentions "suction," which is incredibly problematic. Just as you cannot push string, you cannot suck air. We can talk of negative "gauge" pressure, but that's just complicating things. There is a region of low pressure above the wing, but the wing isn't being "sucked" into that; It's being pushed into that by the higher pressure on the lower side.

This "force" formulation is equivalent to the "mass x acceleration" formulation we get when we keep track of the mass of air moving about the wing. (Newton might remind us that F=m x a. Newton; So cheeky!)

He does finally get around to the Kutta-Jukowsky theorem, but it seems buried under a bunch of other stuff.

Oh, well. To each his own.

For what it's worth: The namespace for Diplomacy sites is pretty homogenous. (PlayDiplomacy, WebDiplomacy, etc.) We were originally PlayDiplomacyOnline, but that didn't solve the homogenous problem and was easy to get confused with other sites. One of the big things we were trying to do was bring some Web 2.0 sensibility to the game, so a cheeky name seemed in order.

We didn't consider the impact it would have on new or potential players but it doesn't seem to have scared many newbies away; in fact we get regular feedback that our site was easier for new folks to get into. Personally, I think knowing that backstabbing is a core part of the game going in helps soften the blow when it first happens.
Dual-SIM plans have been around since the 90's. You call a special number (* # whatever *) to toggle which one calls and SMS arrive to.
Riding on this comment as felt it is great advice. To add to it, this is the classic case of a product with some potential (haven't used it so going by concept only) that is communicated really badly. For me to understand to product I had to think about how I would use it. I shouldn't have to. I've found in similar situations that a technical person will focus on the product in the belief that largely 'if I build a good product the market will come to me'. As someone that has marketed a couple popular apps (I'm marketing end of things by trade) I can say, I would prefer great distribution and marketing on an average app than the reverse.

Broad stokes: consider a rebrand. Re-think it yourself or even better bring in a good marketers to figure the best user case from a USERS POV. Find a usercase that can make you standout and bring a real benefit to someones world. Brand and describe around this scenario. Only then go to work on your distribution strategy. Also be willing to buy some initial distribution. Popular news sites and similar are blasted by new apps. While try to get on their radar, don't rely on this.
