Zarya (the first module, launched in 1998) was pressurized and could support a crew short-term-- the crew of STS-88 (which launched Unity, the second module added to the ISS) entered the station and began unstowing gear and stuff. The ISS

It's an option in Firefox, which (IIRC) is disabled by default everywhere except Windows. Look in Firefox's preferences; on the Advanced tab, it's the "Use autoscrolling" option.

That's exactly what the system contact picker does (it gives the app access to the selected contact, without giving the app access to other contacts or to future changes to the selected contact). There are apps out there where exposin

I don't think they can, not without forbidding apps from getting access to the entire address book altogether. That would rule out a whole class of apps that actually need that functionality (WhatsApp, for example). A good citizen on

Who are they competing against to go faster? In the desktop space, Microsoft's on (at least) a 2-year cadence, and that was in response to Apple speeding up their release cadence. Ubuntu's also on a two-year cadence (for LTS r

The Duplicate/Save As thing is present in any app that's using the system document-based app frameworks and has opted-in to autosave... you'll see it in most of Apple's apps (like TextEdit, Preview, or Pages) and in so

I don't think MacPorts is a direct derivative of the FreeBSD Ports Collection (someone can correct me if I'm wrong), but it's definitely inspired by FreeBSD Ports-- one of the original MacPorts coauthors (Jordan Hubbard) was

You do have to keep in mind that they're not a perfect model, though. For example, the "has been known to cause cancer in laboratory animals" label that used to be required on saccharin-containing products was removed after

The first of these games was released in February 2004, late in the GBA's product cycle. At that point, the Nintendo DS hardware would've already been pretty much finalized (it released in Nov 2004), so they already knew what thi

I'm not sure how one would get statistics on this, but I can't help but wonder how much of those ~2,000 writes/sec are actually getting written to disk. Basically, the same property that gives AFL fuzzing such high write ampl

How important is breaking the circular dependency for the compiler, really? To use a more common language and tool as an example: I can't build GCC without already having a working C++ compiler. Granted, GCC will accept any reasonabl

This test flight is launching on a Delta IV Heavy, which is a pretty well proven launch system (first time NASA's used it, though, AFAIK). Ultimately, Orion's supposed to be launched on NASA's new Space Launch System [1], but

Assuming you don't need to pass around binary libraries, take a look at shared projects-- added in Visual Studio 2013 and Xamarin Studio 5, IIRC. Unlike PCL projects, they compile in the context of the projects that reference them,

Watching the PyCon talk the author mentions as inspiration, the thing that seems like it would really kill this for me (even given a good macro set for the editors and applications I need) is the input lag. The whole time, it seems like he
