It's basically saying, "I bear no responsibility whatsoever if this program messes up your system. It's not even version 1!"

I usually get back at them by saying something like, "When you have experience as much as I do, sometimes my subconscious mind will recognize patterns that will drive my decision. You may call it 'gut feeling', I call it auto

It's a great device. For me _personally_ I much prefer my coffee to be "kopi tubruk", though: Pour boiling water over medium-ground coffee. Might not be for everyone, but that's what's great: There is no one 'c

Reminds me a bit of Citroen DS, which was also revolutionary aerodynamic. Yet practical. And VERY popular. Here's a video about the DS's aerodynamics: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iD1_WQQAwzw

A comment on the meta-article: The presentation is ... unique. But very easy to digest. I might be tempted to apply same "story flow" in my articles.

For spaceships, I think it's a given that launch should be automated; too many things happening rapidly to be handled by human beings. In space, though, actions are more forgiving to a certain degree, timing are usually more relaxed.

That sounds more like a failure of UX engineering/design. That's why rapid iterations are better when developing a user-facing interface.

"You were so preoccupied with whether or not you could, you didn't stop to think if you should." So that was an interesting experiment, but I'm not really sure if that's a good idea. Anyone wants to enlighten me on

I don't mind criticism, as long as it's constructive and not for the sake of bringing down someone. "I did not see you considering X factor, do you think its impact will be insignificant" is a helpful, constructive cri

I disagree with Ford's principle of "not logging failures". The key is to log _in_detail_ ... the setup, the materials used, the failure, and most importantly, how and why it failed. If someone else wants to try, they can

Sorry if this is tangential, but I just love this discussion. Rather than debating about things, this discussion thread is full of informative tidbits, and fond (or not so fond) reminiscences of image decoding programming.

Then you just calculate them all. If Branch A is taken ... total X clock-cycles. If Branch B is taken ... total X clock-cycles. If Branch C is taken ... total X clock-cycles. And so on. And then make sure that the "longest" branch

That reminds me of Sabaton. In a way, Sabaton can be considered to the modern-day bard, singing in Metal.

CRC32 is actually very slow in modern CPUs. So if you can use an algorithm that is both (1) faster and (2) better quality, why not use that algo instead?
