this looks like a decompiler's take on the "why was 6 afraid of 7" joke.

it would seem decompilers are not that funny.

okay so i'm not sure how accurate any of this is since it's overlaying sun angles over a photo that is very likely not taken from a 90deg overhead angle to the bomber... and the scale of the image may be distorted a little...

I discovered on google earth that the image was taken May 16th.

I used this site http://shadowcalculator.eu/#/lat/39.02397754136213/lng/-93.6... to draw a fence around the bomber and defined the "structure" to be an arbitrarily tall height until the sun angle lined up.

Then I lowered the height until the sun angle touched the location of the shadow and I came to an altitude of 1100ft / 335.28m (rough height of the "structure")

nice catch! I think the altitude could be calculated roughly if we knew the the day of the year the photo was taken.

you said you can't pay someone full time but can you pay contributors on a per contribution basis?

I don't think you made it clear what the bottleneck is in your compensation model. Is it the amount of funds or is it the currency? If you can pay in EUR or USD or whatever locale the contributor hails from, you should look into how magazines or online publications pay for articles. Maybe decide on a $/word amount you can afford and see the interest you get at that price point?

I had the same issue, was hoping it was isolated to my account. What unfortunate timing.

I'll save some of you the task of searching through their FAQ if you want to cancel your account.

I've used tmate for this purpose and it worked well.

That's one heck of a wordy security audit request.

I feel like you could make a distinction between "making a AAA title game" vs. "modeling game logic in a terminal".

There are a lot of great learning opportunities for building a game without a graphics layer / engine. A new developer trying to build a Tic Tac Toe game in the terminal will be exposed to some challenging but not impossible challenges that will have a wide scale application.

Plus for many people, these types of games are already a familiar domain. For people new to coding I try to encourage them to build what they know. If that's a DOS-era blackjack game, it will be much more engaging to them than trudging page to page through an algorithms book.

Don't get me wrong the materials you listed in your last sentence have their application, but the sorting algorithm section of a learn programming book / video is (while useful!) less engaging for someone looking to get hooked on a new skill/hobby/career.

except for, you know, the price of the ipad as well.

i think coding by voice is solving a different challenge than blind developers are facing. Blind developers have no issue with manipulating a keyboard. I feel the most immediate accessibility issue facing blind and low vision developers is quickly being made aware of context changes and making sure the element you expect to have selected is actually selected.

An IDE is pretty much useless to a blind developer if the screen reader cannot adequately relay the current context to the developer.

I was incredibly lucky enough to recently do a live broadcasted interview where Parham (op) talked about his experience in tech, his country (Iran), and even showed us some of his tools to write and debug code. It was an incredible interview and can be viewed here:

edit: you may have to fast forward about 17 minutes in to get past the intro buffer.

Also part 2 is where all of the demo stuff is:

lots of bootstrap templates there

because "making walls thicker" is probably the most expensive way you can implement a blocking mechanism. Also whoever you lease your office building from may frown upon you going around making their walls all thick.

I've used BeautifulSoup to do stuff like this.

stackexchange for shopping. pure genius.

No its not worth it. The frameworks exist because many smart people agree that it isnt smart. Also what problems do you think a framework would cause?
