On JumpHigher [1], an app that helps you improve your vertical leaps, just using your phone camera. It's functional already, but very early, the algorithm took quite a while to nail ( still far from perfect ).

I'm a CEO of a small consulting company, and I love working with startups ( or hate working with huge companies, matter of perspective ), and I always thought that to be better at that we have to be able to launch our own stuff.

Also, I never launched anything solo, working alone is hard for me so this was a challenge. I want to continue working on it on the side for a while.

The main audience for now would be basketball players that want to dunk, or anyone that wants a good leg workout and track the progress.

Have you thought about sub Ghz mesh networking like 6lowpan with TI CC1310? If you don't need that much computing power then it's a good option, with way longer battery life.


Looks cool but I'm not sure how current those TI CC1310 devices are. I can see product release pages going back to 2015. Do you know anything about future support/availability for this model, or any newer models?


Z-transform is very similar to Fourier or Laplace transform, but in discrete time. These things are not that hard, if you get FFT already then you can get there if you want.


In high level play you have to manage your land, the hard thing is how to find the optimal route to collect your army: It's advisable to take around 15-18 turns to collect your army from an area and attack in the remaining 10-7 turns, so you can attack before the enemy numbers increase. In high level 1v1 play what matters most is the area you have, if you can get +1 area per 25 rounds from your enemy you'll probably win.

But! As both of you collect more and more area it gets really time consuming and after a point you just can't collect your army optimally. I'd argue that the biggest difference between skill levels at the highest levels is how efficient the collecting is. At that point you'll need cities. Always look for the opponent's counter to know how many cities your opponent has.

Not that it matters but I was a top 5 1v1 player quite a while ago.


One data point: I've been to couples therapy quite a few years ago and we've been getting better and better ever since.

From my experience a priest would go into that discussion with the goal of keeping the couple together, while the therapist would want ( a good one ) the best for them, whatever that may be. If your goal is to stay together with someone don't go to a therapist.


Just a personal anectode: I'm pretty sure that this wasn't true for me. I think some humans have an instinct for survival, maybe all of them, if a persons emotional needs are met then developing, advancing, learning is a natural byproduct without any external pressure. Just like we learn to talk and walk without someone telling us to do.

All the push just hurt me in the end, I would be a lot better off without traditional school, rarely I learned anything useful there.


Push for me isn’t edicts. It’s providing support and opportunity. I send my daughter to extra math lessons. She didn’t need them she was solidly an average. But getting those has really improved her level. I have to spend time with her, make learning fun, help with homework, coax reasoning out of an opinionated 12 yr old, etc, etc.

It’s not a “do this or else”. It’s basically let’s do it together.


I love to do homework with my oldest. But it's still like pulling teeth. I've had to do less of it this year because the teacher is actually keeping track of how kids are doing. Last year I would get back classwork with a giant star at the top where literally everything was wrong.


Hey there! I co-authored this article about a web-based collaborative editor. The main trick is that by using PouchDB's sync functionality we can do client-server communication without a custom WebSocket layer, making everything easier. By the way, we're looking for gigs, mainly with Node/React/TS. I'd _really_ appreciate any kind of feedback! V

Web dev / Electrical engineer. Business oriented meaning that I don't like projects where I only have to write code without any kind of feedback. I also love mentoring. I've been programming since I was 10 years old, met with a lot of technologies.

Been an EE, doing web dev currently. I'm always interested in business development, humans etc.. So if you're looking for someone in your team who's not only codes and does whatever your say, but helps developing your business / gives you feedback then I'm your guy. Feel free to get in touch, I don't think listing things is a good way to know a developer :) If you have a stack that I'm not familiar with, but it's interesting then I'm okay with joining.


- If it was just about pay, surely the incentive would work on boys just as much as girls?

That's the question basically. Would it :)? One side says it would the other says that genders are statistically different.

- Boys on the other hand have other ways available to them to gain economic advantage

I don't know about them. Sure, the 0.1% of them can be politicians / CEOs, but it's not "available" for people in general ( it requires a very specific personality IMHO ). I don't think 10-20-30% differences could be explained by this small portion. For most men gaining economic advantage _is_ about getting a good job, and that's the only option.

In many of these countries there are a huge variety of jobs that are not available to women, because their ability to interact with men who are strangers is highly restricted. So most commercial, industrial and many administrative roles are not available, because they would involve often meeting 'random' men. In some of the countries, women can't even serve men in shops.

That cuts it down to basically office jobs or educational institutions where the men around you are a stable restricted group, that it's possible to gain social acceptance for, or jobs involving meeting men in highly controlled situations.

Even then, for many administrative roles in these cultures jobs are obtained through contacts and private arrangements rather than through an open jobs market. Again that's largely not available to women because these networks are almost entirely male and again lack of ability to associate freely with men closes them off.

STEM is different because it's jobs are only available to people with specific, quantifiable qualifications and skill the possession of which is an objective fact, verifiable through credentials. That's where the status comes from. Social networks and personal opinions of suitability aren't good enough for employers to fill all the roles they have open, so they have to look to a wider jobs market. They can't afford to close those roles to half or more of the available work force, so they have to make arrangements to suit women's working conditions or lose out on skilled candidates.
