It may not be following the optimal path, but it is absolutely within the planned contingencies: " Falcon 9 is designed to handle an engine out situation and still complete its mission. "

Heh, no aerospace background for me, merely computer engineering. Maybe that's still close enough for the term to have crept around with that meaning. Now go forth and help spread this usage far and wide! ;)

I'm not sure where you get that sense of the word. Nominal = according to plan.

The same kernel could be installed on different devices, yes, provided the necessary drivers for all of those devices were part of that kernel build. You still have some platform specifics in userspace though, like build.prop and all the H

Did you try to do this locally? The article explains that the "p" is picked up from window.location, assuming it's http or https. If you're using "file://...", that third character index is 'e' instead.

You can protect against SQL injection, but you can't make anyone read the article. The best you could do is make them click the link first. Just like you can't make anyone read a EULA before clicking "I agree". You can force them to scr

I like the way the C++ FAQ explains the problems of "is a" inheritance, especially the examples of Circle-is-an-Ellipse. http://www.parashift.com/c++-faq-lite/proper-inheritance.htm...

I'm tempted to stuff tarballs in there for my pre-built release binaries, especially since I could give it a gpg signature in the tag. I wouldn't do this for large projects, but the case I have in mind is a tiny utility, ~25KB. Does anyone

But the key is that they are your asshole customers . It's one thing to say, "this app is not for me unless it has feature X." Or, "I just bought your app, but it kills me that I can't do X." It's entirely different to go pirate and use

I find it odd that the test's adaptation removes the first two words from "standard creepiness rule: don't date under (age/2+7)". Is it objectionable to refer to dating with large gaps of age as creepy?

It does affect files, but umask only subtracts permission bits. So if the program creating the file doesn't try to set it executable, then umask will never change that.

I agree that this is easiest, and I'm surprised that the article calls it "hardcore" (slides 38-39). But it does bring to mind a more devious challenge: Someone ran "chmod -x ld.so"...

In a lot of video games, the entire scene is in focus, presumably because the developers can't know where you're actually looking. In that context, it doesn't feel weird at all (though I wonder if that's part of why some people get sick wa

That same write call can exist in C++ too, with exactly the same consequences. Everything ugly in C can be done in C++, but C++ lets you be so much uglier. int i = 42; foo->bar(i); In C, we can tell that foo is either a "struc

Well, Google can receive a huge chunk of that for free, add their contribution, and give that result away. It's still a great thing, but let's not forget credit for the shoulders they are standing on. I'd be interested to know the numbers

The integrated panel+toolbar doesn't really fit with the "windicators" idea, so I wouldn't be surprised to see that integration go away.

Well, that minefield map for H.264 only shows what patent mines the MPEG LA has laid down. But when it comes to hidden patents, why assume that H.264 is any better than Theora?

Hi, thanks for responding. Obviously, I'm not involved in reddit development, since I didn't know you used to publish live. But still, I think it's ok to have half-baked code out there -- you just need to mark releases occasionally. Thos

The best way to keep in sync is to remove the need: just publish everything live and unfettered to a public repository.

Well I admit I'm mostly a "Wikipedia physicist", and the lengthy article there says that the effect has not been observed. If you find such a citation, might I suggest that you add a link? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hawking_radiation
