   Maybe. If I look at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tomahawk_(missile) , I can’t tell whether those things that point out from the main body produce lift (which, I guess, is the difference between a fin and a wing) I adde

   I don’t think so. It is global state, but it lives outside the abstract C machine, in its implementation. The compiler knows f1 and f2 live in the abstract C machine and cannot access it. I think its like the difference between errno ,

   So, the issue is that iOS keeps keychain items around when you delete an app, and the claim is that data cannot be deleted and can be used to track you. About the “cannot be deleted”: it’s not as convenient as it could be, but can’t you del

   “Missile” is an extremely broad concept (Wikipedia calls it “a guided airborne ranged weapon capable of self-propelled flight usually by a jet engine or rocket motor”), but I think most people think of a missile as something without wings (

   Possibly better: don’t use gas, but enclose an aerogel such as aerographene ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aerographene ) in a strong enough, airtight shell and pump out most of the air. One of the engineering challenge

   I would like to see the economics of that compared to disposable, single-mission drones. Those wouldn’t have to return to the “mother ship”, so would be able to penetrate deeper into enemy territory, or carry more weapons, or be cheaper to

    I think this is more a matter of having a different view of what “Pro” means/vision of where iPad should go than about the iPad not being pro.

    That’s not the reason. Library developers aren’t changing code to annoy or educate their users. The reason is that a hash table with a fixed hash function may be used for denial of service attacks. If an attacker knows how a hash map maps k

    That’s because the preprocessor adds too much flexibility to make it easy to write such tools. Once you have #ifdef FOO ... #else ... #endif you have to completely preprocess the compilation unit to find out which branch

    There is sanity in that logic. If a government employee gets a speeding ticket while working, the city doesn’t typically pay it either. But of course, they should make an exception here.

    Very math-like, yes, but most programming isn’t really math or rather, the requirements for the program aren’t, and that’s what you want to stay close to in the code.

    I can’t find its empty weight online easily, but this booster is quite a bit heavier than these film canisters were. I would be concerned about the impact catching it would have on the helicopter. I guess the hook they use for catching it m
