Space Shuttle missions returned their crew alive 98.5% of the time.

In the section “Hardware-accelerated WAL checksums” he explains how the JIT compiles away the hardware support stuff depending on the exact capabilities of the system its on. With …

TypeScript tried to accurately model (and expose to language services) the actual behavior of JS with regards to null/undefined. In its early days, TypeScript got a lot of reflexiv…

I am a C# dev by day and love working with it. I miss interfaces, Linq, and the nicer pattern matching features of C# when using GDScript, but overall GDScript is quite adequate fo…

This is Conway’s Law: You ship your org chart.

The shuttle’s solid rocket boosters splashed down in the ocean via parachute, and were recovered and reused. The main engines and thrusters/rcs were also reused. Only the external …

In some software platforms, the tooling makes it really easy to use a debugger to see what’s happening, so it’s common for everyone on the team to use them all the time. The commen…

If you want to experience the Neuromancer vibe (but not story line), in 2025, from a contemporaneous source, I can’t recommend the Commodore 64 adaptation enough.

no barge for super heavy- the point of the catch is to save weight on the massive legs that would be required. It “soft landed” in the Gulf a few miles off shore, meaning they did …

Which would need to be encoded in at least two bytes at which point, why not just use CRLF?

Even Notepad.exe supports LF only text files now.

They did it!

The goal of two commercial vehicles was dissimilar redundancy. But yeah this should be worked on in the not too distant future.

The 2038 bug is less than 14 years away at this point. There is an astonishingly greater amount of software out there compared with 24 years ago. I don’t want to be a doomsayer but…
