Not really. Setting up a scalable Java service is complicated even with tooling like spring boot, and Java has better libraries for our use case, but the feedback cycle and general code velocity was much slower since we'd be on java 8

Of course weird domain specific libraries are a major reason to use python. I can get my oddball service up in a few days vs weeks or months to replicate some bizarre library. If all you're doing is basic web stuff then sure you can do

So ask for Google cloud for startups? One free cluster is enough to get started.

It's up to 400% of the FPL and that only gets you a "credit", you're still liable for the premiums up to about 10% of your income. Plus any other "features" like deductibles, copays and coinsurance.

Javascript not having proper integers strikes again! Kind of surprised they hadn't run into more issues parsing string-ids-with-numerals into numbers.

There's already a highly successful model in most modern countries where the government fund all education and recovers some of the cost the higher progressive tax brackets, leaving the rest as a public good as an educated populace is

If your definition of scam excludes those with at least one successful investor (of time, money, etc), then virtually all Ponzi schemes aren't scams. The early investors win, the later ones lose. It seems with Lambda school there do in

In a previous life tried this with a UK car insurance startup. It's a tough world. Glad you have reinsurance already. Good luck! Hope you come to New York

The whole political point of the "points based system" was that the UK _hadn't_ implemented one and was behind the times, and this was a constant refrain of people who hadn't ever looked into what kind of system the UK a

It’s a canard because it’s already been in place for over a decade and has had middling results. It’s still a pain in the arse to hire someone ex-eu with skills and the tier 1 HSMP path was closed (so you need a job offer). Anyone with actu

Of course, the tier 2 system is already set up like this. The whole "points-based" talking point was always a canard. There's not a meaningful change (yet)

Great article from the same presenter here: https://www.groundai.com/project/projective-geometric-algebr... And for those who know conformal GA, see https://www.researchgate.net/publication/2904377

Great because I maintain that Newton and Bernoulli are emphatically not independent perspectives and any explanation that ignores one or the other is incomplete :) Glad we agree!

Yeah I used the wrong term: an airfoil that isn't changing its shape or being used like a bird wing, where there's more going on than just in a fixed-wing aircraft. But yes, the relative motion is what matters.

Not quite. You can't just derive the equation of state that's equivalent to Bernoulli's principle from Newton's laws. Only for incompressible flow is it a consequence of Newton's second law (NS) See https:/&#x

> The issue is that once you recognize that lift is the reaction to accelerating the airflow downwards You need bernoulli to explain why the flow field is changed beyond just the area in contact with the flow. This induces the measured p

by nimish 7y ago
This doesn't explain all of the induced pressure differences. You need Bernoulli (Conservation of Energy, more or less) as well. They interact in a complicated way. You really can't "just" explain lift simply.
655.
by nimish 7y ago
We have a very good explanation for experts though. It turns out lift is really damn hard to explain since fluids are quite complicated. There's no reason to expect there's a layman's explanation at all, but you can make one

"Pump" is doing a lot of work in that explanation. It's a very subtle thing to explain the pressure differential of a non moving airfoil, and marry it up with such real-world conditions like flying aircraft upside down, trail

UC Berkeley was too cheap to pay for basic transcription. Again, the ADA is _not new_ -- they knew it when making the videos! Did you read the case? It looks like the university created content that was not accessible but claimed they had f

It's up to them to prove that WebUSB is secure, not on me to prove it's insecure. Direct hardware access over the web is inherently dangerous. If they have a way of truly sandboxing malicious uses, without entering into permission
