Hindsight is 20/20. It was 2011 when they ported the Flash version to iOS, so Cocos2D-X had just been forked and Unity had just released its Android version. Cocos2D was what all the hit games were using at the time. The game's po

I'm sure this has been studied to death, but my guess is that the extra risk during flight/separation, and the extra weight of designing the rocket to handle the different forces encountered when attached to the mothership are not

Orion was originally designed for extended lunar missions. There were studies that envisioned it as a component of asteroid missions. Probably there are studies applying it to Mars, but I'm not aware of those. http://www.uni

But the stack will be used for each request, especially in Java app servers where stacks are often dozens of frames deep. The lowest stack size I could get away with for Tomcat 6/JDK 1.6 was 128 KB. Sure, you could do better with a l

Each thread has a minimum stack size which can grow memory quickly if you're using 10k's of threads. Using an async framework like Netty gets you into 100k connections and beyond. (Not that it's always the right thing to do u

Well, the problem of playing strong is pretty well solved if you have lots of computing resources. The problem of playing very strongly on a battery-powered mobile device (for example) is not yet solved. This is where an insanely-accurate e

I'm confused as to how he can bust on the Canadian couple that prefers to internalize their travel experiences rather than proselytize to others. Isn't that the opposite of narcissism?

Since this is 1995, pixels didn't map 1-to-1 to phosphors on the CRT. Now with LED and LCD displays they do. Not that this invalidates the paper, but it certainly adds some context.
