I’ve come to accept that I’m just a sucker for shiny nerd things. I use Rust, despite never having had a professional reason to use it in my life. I switched to Linux in my student years and I’ve never looked back since, even though it constantly breaks and I can’t get my Bluetooth headphones to connect. I have a split keyboard with home row mods set up because I read some random blog posts and it looked cool to me. I literally learned to program because I figured I should learn how to do more n

How Palantir is mapping the nation’s data

Palantir Technologies, however, has attracted more and more attention over the past decade because of the size and scope of its contracts with the government. Palantir’s two main platforms are Foundry and Gotham. Each does different things. Foundry is used by corporations in the private sector to help with global operations.

As a movie lover who grew up on John Hughes and other filmmakers like him, I was trained from an early age to expect that high school would be filled with archetypes: bullies, popular kids, jocks, nerds and humorless and gruff authority figures. While we've evolved since then (at least a tiny bit), there's something about some of those now-classic '80s movies that remains endearing even if some of the characters and plot details feel problematic or downright silly by today's standards.

Investing in a meat delivery service has made it easy to have everything I need for cooking dinner delivered right to my door. But there are still times when I don't always finish -- or even cook -- everything I've ordered right away. I've found myself eating leftovers for lunch the next day. Although I knew that chicken (even cooked) didn't have a long shelf life, I didn't realize I might have been flirting with food poisoning by eating poultry that had already started to turn.

Randomly selecting points inside a triangle

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-10-09 07:29:33

If you have a triangle with vertices A, B, and C, how would you generate random points inside the triangle ABC? Barycentric coordinates One idea would be to use barycentric coordinates. Generate random numbers α, β, and γ from the interval [0, 1]. Normalize the points to have sum 1 by dividing each by their sum. Return αA + βB + γC. This generates points inside the triangle, but not uniformly. Accept-reject Another idea is to use an accept-reject method. Draw a rectangle around the triangl
