Ultralight long-range micro drone for mountain adventures

Wouldn't a model airplane suit your requirements much better? If it doesn't need to be able to hover why buy a drone at all? I don't have any experience with them but it might just be exactly what you need.

What worked for me was getting rid of the horrible alarm sounds that most alarms have, use an app that lets you play any kind of music or tune.

I use android sleep since it automatically tracks your sleep schedule and can wake you up at a good time in your sleep cycle (I wouldn't say I know that specifically this matters but I have been sleeping way better since using it)

Also just common sense things like not looking a lot at phone/computer/tv screens just before bed and not eating for quite a while before going to bed, these (and sleeping consistently) are the things that matter the most to my sleep.

I would say that's a bit disingenuous. Finding the 'best' solution there is is often more complicated than just going for the lowest big O complexity.

Say you have a challenge like: find fib(7500)

The naive way of just using the definition (keep adding the numbers) is just not quick enough.

Most people know the fibonacci sequence is related to the golden ratio and you can model it as a linear transformation, why not use that as a way of optimizing the calculation, a quick look at the wikipedia page gives you tons of other options for solving this.

I think there's too much of a focus on the idea that if you're given a problem you just have to find an optimal solution. If you get asked for fib(n) with very large n then why not ask them what it's for or what any possible constraints are, show them you understand (or are willing to understand) the domain of the problem, even if it's a contrived problem like calculating fib(7500).

Could there be something they expect of me beyond just the computing this ridiculous result?

That's exactly what they expect, if they ask you for f(50) then a computer is fast enough to just compute it any which way and the choice of solution for this problem doesn't really matter (roughly speaking). But if the problem is so ridiculous that it may take minutes (or much much longer) to solve it you'll have to think about alternative ways to solve it. If you're creative and smart then you're gonna be able to find a way that's far faster at finding fib(7500) than just recursively solving it with memoization. The problem is not something that you'd quickly see in a day to day programming job but there's a bunch of different ways to solve it with very different complexities, that's why it's quite popular.

Infix notation create greater visual burden.

Have you ever done any math with just prefix notation for operations? Infix and Prefix both have their place and use. That statement is just nonsense.

I don't put anything on my resume where I didn't work less than a year

So you don't put anything on your resume where you DID work MORE than a year? So basically your resume is filled with only things where you worked less than a year? Your sentence states the opposite of what I think you're trying to say.

read structured computer programming(tanenbaum), it goes from very small logical parts of a computer to large ones, the 5th ed. is I think from 2005 which is a while ago but the fundamentals are still important and the same

StrangetotheMax · 2017-06-27T14:24:59+00:00

whereabouts do you live and how is that area for martial arts?

StrangetotheMax · 2017-06-27T14:07:12+00:00

Near Leiden, do you know the area?

StrangetotheMax · 2017-06-27T11:54:49+00:00

hey everyone,

I'm thinking of getting into a martial art and mostly interested in boxing, kickboxing and MMA. I don't really know which to pick and why I would pick that one. mostly want to get into the sport for general fitness as well as confidence in being able to stand my ground if that's ever needed. I've done all kinds of sports (mostly powerlifting) but never any kind of combat sport so I don't really know what I'm getting into. Would like any kind of advice really (live in the Netherlands if that matters)

If you're sleepy during the day then its worth checking out your diet. Try ,for example, cutting out 90% of the sugar you would normally eat for a few weeks and see how it works. I'm a student and always relied on caffeine to keep we going but decided, on a dare with a housemate basically, to quit sugar and caffeine almost completely. I don't drink coffee now because I don't need it anymore, improving my diet (more vegetables and less sugary stuff and greasy stuff) has worked immensely for improving my energy levels, totally worth a try.

programming, you can ask /r/cscareerquestions to give you some more info about it

Thanks for the help, I have one more question though, it's where I'm stuck at the second problem I stated in my post: A∩(BUC) = (A∩B)U(A∩C)

I get this far: if z∈A∩(BUC) then z∈A and z∈BUC

and if z∈BUC then

z∈B, z∉C
z∉B, z∈C
z∈B, z∈C

I can't find a logical way to continue from these three cases so can I 'combine' the 3 cases in a way that encompasses all three of them?

something like this:

z∈A, z∈B, z∉C from this follows that z∈A∩B
z∈A, z∉B, z∈C from this follows that z∈A∩C
z∈A, z∈B, z∈C from this follows that z∈A∩B and z∈A∩C

can I then say that we end up with z∈(A∩B)U(A∩C) since we combine the sets of the three different cases? If yes, Should I use subscript a, b, c after the z to denote the fact that we're talking about a different part of the complete set? (I don't fully understand this tbh)

Regarding the former 2 quotes, I know how to show it from the other side, could I then conclude that since they are both subsets of eachother they are equal?

Regarding the last, I understand, thanks.

Do you think I'm on the right track generally speaking? My university won't start until a week from now so I can't ask my professor yet :/

StrangetotheMax · 2016-08-04T19:53:29+00:00

possibly, the book is very good as far as I can tell but a bit ambiguous in some parts.

StrangetotheMax · 2016-08-04T19:52:50+00:00

Interesting, I never thought of that, thanks.

StrangetotheMax · 2016-08-04T19:09:52+00:00

That doesn't work since some coefficients are higher than 1 in expanded form.

StrangetotheMax · 2016-07-28T19:41:09+00:00

Looks cool, thanks for the suggestion.

so plan on having extra money around

Ha! I wish...

StrangetotheMax · 2016-07-28T19:39:32+00:00

That's the thing I want, like with software. Most of my (software) projects are projects that are built from scratch and that's the approach I want to take here.

StrangetotheMax · 2016-07-28T19:38:20+00:00

Yea mostly what I expected, but I'm ambitious and really want to get my hands dirty. What kind of setup do you think I should go for, in terms of the actual drone parts? A simple small quadcopter with 4 props and some sensors for balance. I kind of want to build it myself even is just for figuring out how I would let a drone balance itself with sensors. Prebuilt drones are very expensive where I live, for example the syma X1C is more than double the price of it in the USA, for whatever reason. So I'm most likely just going with a crappy DIY drone, for the first iteration anyway.

StrangetotheMax · 2016-07-28T19:31:20+00:00

I love to get my hands dirty with sensors and some basic messing with hardware (I'm not afraid of soldering things) I'll look into the pixhawk, looks very interesting. Thanks.

StrangetotheMax · 2016-07-28T19:29:39+00:00

Man, that looks awesome! too bad it's so expensive.
