Feel free to get in touch apropos anything.
That figure should be normalised to make the comparison fair. Presumably, there were more cars on the road in 2011 than in 2010.
Tried my luck with gdb. Sure enough...there was libQt5DBus pointing to the old libs leading to the crash. If you are feeling particularly adventurous, you can step one instruction at a time after starting. Even without debug symbols, there is quite a lot of info that be used while troubleshooting.
Please do write to me if you are interested. Email in profile.
" Virgin olive oil was, amongst all the oils studied, that which took longer to produce this type of compounds and produced a lower concentration of them."
I am going to assume (and hope) that that was an off-the-shelf sample, which includes the adulteration you are talking about. Unfortunately, there no further information available.
Overall, things that rank high on SO and low on GH are more "corporate-y". Things that rank high on GH but lower than the line are "startup-y".
We have some ask HN questions like which tool I should pick-up, employable skillset, etc. Purely based on this graph, I would say pick the top-right points that lie close to the line. That should strike a decent balance.

Let's see; for me, if I can map an abstract concept to something readily visual, my understanding is faster. Are there some close visual aids to understanding tensors?
What physical property(ies?) can be mathematically modeled as a tensor?
Imagine a stack of tiles, bottom to top, thin and piled on top of each other. And each tile is connected with its neighbours with springs (not unlike a spring-coiled bed with many layers), like so:
============== ---> Thin tile
\ \ \ \
/ / / / ---> Springs
\ \ \ \
==============
\ \ \ \
/ / / /
\ \ \ \
==============
\ \ \ \
/ / / /
\ \ \ \
==============
Now, we can pull the topmost tile along the stacked direction causing the springs to expand. If we do this and only this, it is pure tensile stress (I am referring to stress in a bit loose way here). We can also sit on that stack and that leads to compressive stress (just a tensile stress with a minus sign). [As a sidenote, bricks can take great compressive forces but can't withstand tensile forces of similar levels. But something like steel has almost symmetric response between tensile and compressive loads].
OK...what else can we do? Can I pull the topmost tile to the right (or left) while holding the bottommost tile still? Sure, and now the stack looks like a rhombus. This is shear stress...in the right-left direction. I could've also pulled the topmost tile towards (or away from) me. That is also shear stress in the front-back direction.
So, for this setup, we can identify three stress components: 1 tensile and 2 shear.
Now, the first tricky bit: imagine a "stack" that is bottom-top, left-right and front-back. There are springs running in all three directions. We have 3 tensile and 6 shear components.
Second tricky bit: shrink that new whole "stack" to a point. We have the stress tensor(!).
s = [s_11 s_12 s_13, s_21 s_22 s_23, s_31 s_32 s_33]
Tensors are used all the time in mechanics. Very very useful stuff.

This has piqued my interest enough to look into it.
Aside, are you guys hiring remote? ;-)
* Prepare a metadata sheet indicating the serial number of each of those one time pads.
* Hand both over in a face to face meeting (you keep a copy of metadata and one time pads).
* Indicate the serial number of the onetime pad used in your letter and encode the rest of your letter using that onetime pad and post the letter.
* Destroy your one time pad and your corresponding party also destroys his/her copy in an irretrievable fashion.
This all assuming nobody else gets to see the onetime pad except you both.
This statement is utterly false. In-house does not mean free.
GitHub for CAD. With 3D printing poised to explode shortly, I am predicting a need for versioning of CAD models (along with FEM analyses). Current solutions (PLM/PDM) are very expensive and usually need to be customized. This is a business that is runs into billions of USD per annum and is ripe for disruption.

Sit in a room with minutes to spare and task yourself this: to get to the market and back from your house. Maybe you shop for some fruits or something.
Step into your mental realm imagining every step you have to do in this task. Changing your clothes, tying your shoe lace, locking your door...everything. Not in frames but in a continuous motion as in a movie. It could be boring and I have felt the strong need to snap out of it. It still is difficult to power through, imagining every step and "looking" at the trees and shrubs along the way, picking up and inspecting an apple and putting it in the basket, paying for the goods, etc.
The whole thing is much more difficult than it sounds if you are the kind of person who gets restless easily. With practice, it gets better. Hopefully this helps you get in the productive zone. Good luck!
