Certainly that could be described as "error handling", but I would describe what saved the landing as priority scheduling combined with restart protection.

Doesn't work for arbitrary zip codes for me.

I work in embedded and I absolutely review it. If nothing else, for learning.

hot water doesn't need to be heated.

Link at the bottom of your example page results in 404. For me, anyway.

I'm surprised that any useful accuracy can be obtained. Maybe an additional input to the solution would be to watch when various GPS satellites are occulted by the Earth.

>And the ones with built-in CRTs had issues wherein the cathode of the CRT was DANGEROUSLY CLOSE to the main PCB. If you weren't careful cracking that puppy open -- zappo! Fried motherboard, possibly fried you!

I'm curious which model this was. The Model III was the first all-in-one model I had experience with, and the between the motherboard and the CRT neck was a piece of flat aluminum. The biggest danger was potentially snapping the neck off, but there was no danger of touching the mother board. Model 4 was the same configuration. Even the Model II had a metal plate between the CRT and any circuit boards.

>IMO, both Boeing and NASA are under quite a lot of pressure to not require further tests from Boeing because there are just enough Atlas Vs (the rocket that Starliner launches on) for Boeing to complete it's contractual obligations.

>Any further tests would deplete that stock.

I hear what you are saying and it likely affects their decision, but lack of hardware in the future should not be a consideration in this decision at all. If there is any concern, safety of the crew should be priority one.

IIRC, Aerojet is the sub on this system. Surely they understand propulsion well and it is unfortunate that Boeing's name is taking the hit.

Delphi 7 was / is fantastic. Soon after that, they went .NET and the wheels came off.

Minor nit (for me, at least): An assembler is a tool. Assembly is a language.

Though not assembly language, I think that www.ultibo.org is a cool embedded development environment for the Pi.

Age of Wonders is a great Delphi-produced game too, if I remember correctly.

This is awesome. Schneier has an excellent chapter on LFSRs for generating pseudorandom sequences with varying lengths.

You can always code in easter eggs.

Mathematics for the Million is a really good book.

Well yeah, but it goes even deeper than that, IMO, since the domes could have just stayed on Earth. Why launch them into space and return them later? They're terrariums with all of the life support and lighting that they need.

Ozric Tentacles for me. With the exception of two songs that I can think of in their 30-album catalog, there are no vocalizations. Just trippy psychedelic space rock. It may not work for everyone, but it puts me in the zone and I can code without lyrical distraction.

I would recommend "But How Do It Know?" by J. Clark Scott.

"Perishes and Survives" labels change places when you adjust the sliders. This threw me off for a while until I realized that the data wasn't making sense.

like demon.

I came here to write basically this. I agree, and by the way, "wantrepreneur" is perfect.

Yes. I wrote my first code for hire at age 14, started professionally at age 22, and I'm 53 now.

Still innovating and contributing as a technical guy. I've made it clear I'm not interested in management.

I was wondering the same thing!

Agreed. WGU has been a good fit for me.

Incredible. Thanks for posting this.

I wonder who bailed first?

This is awful news. Too young.

I think he misspelled "Blondie".

Awful. My wife has a terminal illness and I'm struggling to work while taking care of her and shopping and cleaning and laundry and cooking and pets and school, etc.

When I say I'm struggling to work, I'm struggling to be clear-headed and effective at work. My co-workers are AWESOME and are helping to shoulder the load, and the upper management has been great giving me time to deal with appointments. I am contributing, but I know I'm not up to what I usually do.

I'm presently talking to some mental health professionals while getting the family to step up and help a bit, but it doesn't lessen the strain as much as I had hoped.

Me too. Also, there are some sites where LastPass could never manage to find the login fields and didn't fill them correctly or at all. I've yet to see Bitwarden screw this up.

No, I'm not. Family health issues.
