Sure there are legitimate uses of "home in on" as in a homing missle, but really the verb for this kind of work is really hone - to make more acute, intense, or effective. Homing is more about traveling, honing is about narrowing down. Sure in some degree they are related, but here the intent is narrowing.
Anyone who has seen the "earth at night" and the part of North Korea will immediately know this is South Korea boasting that they have electricity at all hours of the night.
Clearly North Korea is trying to keep their people in the dark about this, and are succeeding extremely well.
How do you conduct a proper trial for HIV? "Here, this is either a drug that will work, won't work, or a placebo which works a surprising amount of time. At best you have a 50/50 shot of getting HIV" Who is going to participate in that trial?
Now the cable companies got what they wanted - you need a STB for every damn TV now. Back the the old days you could just get a splitter and get all the channels in all the TVs in your house. But now that there is no real cable card solution you're stuck having to pay for each TV again. I think most customers, particularly today say F that.
Dogs can be taught boundaries, but some dogs, especially hounds get focused on hunting and wander off. The shock snaps them out of that mode. Concentration is regulated by the hypothalamus, and that shock resets it.
It works like this: The government gets to use technology until they abuse it. This is supposed to encourage restraint. In the instant case, the requirement that the license plate be unobstructed and mounted in the normal place is voided. Vehicle registration laws are not voided, just the display of plates.
Next time the government will think twice before becoming oppressive.
IRS is only conerned with items of income, and there are forms for that. My email might have reciepts, but so would the site that I have the account with.
NASA has no real scientific focus. It's just all over the place. If I were in charge, I would give it one primary mission, and a secondary mission, and then have a tertiary agenda.
Agendas: 1. Detection and defense of incoming bodies, including the development of better D&D technology. Eventually this will be fulfilled and go into maintenance mode, where Agenda 2 then gets primary funding. 2. Find life using existing technology including the development of better D&D technology. While this will never be complete (once we find it we can keep on finding it) we will look for more and more sophisticated forms. (I assume extraterrestrial bacterial detection would happen first, then complex organisms) 3. All other efforts on determining the nature of the universe. JWST, Hubble, etc.
As far as I am concerned NASA has no reason to send humans off planet. We should be developing Avatar-like technology for near earth operations and AI driven tech for stuff where the lag is too long.
Don't go looking for "best programs to learn from." You won't "get" it. Each program has its own focus, and unless you are very interested in the subject matter, you'll just gloss over the important parts. I've worked with tons of other libraries and I always find myself asking "Why the hell can't I just do X" or "Why they hell did they do it this way?" Invariably it was because the library was written with a mindset with a better understanding of the topic and contract than my own. When I say "contract" I mean what the library aims to provide.
If you do want to increase your changes of using C++/OOP right, I highly recommend writing C++ using Qt. That is the best best-of-breed library, with an incredible breadth and depth. It is a well thought out, complete API.
Python also has an art to it which is called "Pythonic". Some things are more or less "pythonic" which means driven by the philosophy of the language that reverberates from the operators and APIs.
So I would say rather than just reading someone else's program, write you own using Qt or Python, and let those shape you.
Also, use Model-View-Controller as much as possible. (It is not possible everywhere though)
The only other thing I can advise on a completely general principal is always separate your data out from implementation. From array dimensions (who dimensions arrays anymore rather than use a STL like class? Static dimensioning makes it easy to exploit your code.) to constants and up to variables, keep that separated, because constants do change. Not often, but they eventually do.
The USPS has enjoyed a privileged position: - They get to set the minimum shipping rates for UPS and FedEx, to keep the USPS in business. But they don't have enough mail volume to be competitive and raising the minimum rates would not go unnoticed, which is why it has not been done. - Only the USPS can use mail boxes. - UPS and Fed ex cannot deliver to PO boxes.
The USPS is a required system. It is required in court proceedings for legal notice. It must remain. However we could also allow UPS and Fedex to use mailboxes, and allow tracking notices to serve as legal notice.
Bulk mail majorly funds the USPS. Yeap USPS is a spammer.
Also, the USPS could have a viable business model: Just offer a service that opens scans and emails you your mail in PDF format. Bonus: free OCR. Save package delivery for MWF. By scanning at the originating post office, it will reduce the transportation costs. I'd pay just to not get mail that I just dump in the recycle bin.
But since Windows 2000, nay, NT it's just been incremental improvements. I still run Win7 in "Windows classic" Let me tell you what's impacted me over the years... Nothing. The kernel has improved (less blue screens) and now I have fancy window docking options. That's about it. Explorer.exe is still king. All the pain and suffering of Vista and its predecessors were introduced by different driver models that were only incrementally better than the last.
Apps have seen the biggest change, with ribbons (which I hate). I still run XP at home. Get off my lawn! And get off my desktop!
And I still rock Office 97 on my Win7 machine. It's all incremental since win32.
You've got VMs for JS, Python, Java, and all of Mono. Why not just support a generic VM integration?. Python has a tool called sip (thanks to Riverbank) that allows Python to use C++ objects, creating wrappers. Why not take a similar approach for other languages? Even if you do something horribly abstracted as a native REST client server with language bindings, you'll completely work around any deprecation issues.

I read "first pants"
Now won't that negate a bit of gravity and be the source of the cosmological constant?

I remember reading about this about 5-10 years again New Scientist magazine.

Same thing. It's a hardware independent VM, no?
I thought Android was already all about a Java VM. So... just start another Java instance?
But it seems silly to do all that just to swap out your profile data.

Burns things how? Pics or it didn't happen. Video is even better.
Can I use this to kill bugs on my ceiling. Will it work on asian stink bugs?
The documentation of the van system indicates a 10s of milirad dose. The scale of the Nuk alert starts at 100mrad/hr. I don't know that it would work.
Is there a way to detect these, like a wifi signal?

They are just answers to questions you haven't asked yet.

They were covertly funding a space program!
It's still more honest than members of congress. At least with the heist, you know you're getting robbed.
In America, the government robs you then sends you the bill.
I still remember after all these years.
