Procrastination is the basis of one of only two optimizations that exist: 1. Do it late (because you may not need to do it at all). vs. 2. Do it early (because you know it'll need to get done, over and over, and you've got the data onha

Full Disclosure: I work at TripAdvisor. Andy's assessment is accurate and is part of the reason I really, really like it here. The other part is the folks I get to work with. If you're interested in joining us, drop me a line. Info in my

I always like the "shaking box" algorithm: 1. Check if list ordered. If it is, we're done! 2. Randomize order of list. Go back to step 1. N!

Modes allow you to subdivide the problem space: only certain actions/transitions can occur in a given mode. Removing that restriction allows anything to happen at any time . This is believed to be more complex to model. Think of modes a

You've hit the crux of the issue. The aircraft are getting complicated to the point where training in them -- especially outside of "normal" flight regimes -- is difficult. All the references to Normal/Alternate/Direct law are indicative

Tom West captured the essence of what motivates me to work, and what I find motivates most of the incredible people I've had the opportunity to work with: An engineer's essential desire, after all, is to design and build a machine and see

For the average couple, there's a window of about 2 days in which the woman is out of commission. (Yes, that's simplifying things.) I vehemently disagree. Actually, I think it is an utter load of crap. I've had the good fortune of seeing
