Could this be used to grade routes? It would be cool if a photo or short video of a route could be used to better assist in grading climbing routes. Grading is a massively subjective thing, to some extent, so this could be super tricky.
I decided to use FreetaxUSA on the advice of another HN thread and I was very happy with the results. I had used TurboTax for the last 8 years and can say that FreetaxUSA was much easier to navigate. I was asked to upgrade to their top tier 2 times and it was very clear how to continue with the free federal option.
I am kinda excited to integrate some of these sets into a real location map built in ArcGIS! It may not result in a spatially perfect map, but it will be way more fun to build and look at. I can see a good use case for public engagement type maps.
IBM also manufactured guns for the Allies, so take that as you will. Having their businesses on both sides of the war co-opted by the various governments is a tough position for any business.
Would this mean that an emergency call would be available anywhere without a service contract, at least in the US? As it is now, if I were to dial 911, any tower that can connect must accept and route the call. For example, if my Verizon phone can only see AT&T towers the phone would show no bars but still says emergency calling only.
I can't agree more on the shared adversity. My three main hobbies are rock climbing, hockey, and cycling. With climbing you have to battle against yourself and your limits. Good partners will support you in those pursuits. Add in the fact that your life is literally in someone else's hands when they belay you, it is a quick path to trust. Add in the down time, as stated above, and you will make true friends. Going on a week long climbing trip with a small group will stack up quality hours fast.
Hockey is different but you still have a team working towards a goal, literally! With a good group of people, good as in nice people, not skilled, you win and lose as a team. Plus the on bench and locker room time means you get to know one another over time.
Cycling is different for me, it is a solo experience and as a result I don't have any friends in that world.
The nomenclature of 1 in x years is based on statistics and equates to the chance, 1/x, that in a given year this event will happen. You don't need 1300 years of data to say this was a 1 in 1300 year event, but you can say that this event had a 1/1300=7.6^-4 chance of happening in a given year. And that can be calculated based on any amount of data. Of course, more data will give a higher confidence to the statement.
I watched a good video on the subject of adaptive clearing taking too long to calculate and it helped me to improve the processing and machining time of complex geometry.
Another thing I found with topographic stuff is to simplify the mesh after importing it. It makes very little difference to the final project depending on your scale.
Cool guide to get started with! I gave it a quick glance and noticed two things I struggled with when I started with CNC work, work holding and feed/speed calculations. Both of these topics are relatively machine dependent, so I understand the omission.
I was going to say the same thing. Seems like a lot of art focused vector programs aren't as rigorous with their polygons as a CAD program. But, I suppose it is just a matter of the level of detail the end use demands.
It will be interesting to hear how this drug impacts those with alopecia universalis, a sub type of alopecia areata. My sister has universalis from birth. I doubt she would want to do anything about it at this point, she is in her 40's.
I spent a stupid amount of time figuring out how to make a custom splash screen for Windows XP. And then a service pack reverted all my efforts. Good times.
Tools for sure, power and hand. Aside from a voltage regulating circuit most power tools are super simple, make a thing spin to cut other things. I also love using proper hand tools like a plane or hand saw.
