"It was the first space shuttle to perform an unmanned flight, including landing in fully automatic mode."

"[...] despite a lateral wind speed of 61.2 kilometres per hour (38.0 mph), it landed only 3 metres (9.8 ft) laterally and 10 metres (33 ft) longitudinally from the target mark."

That sounds pretty impressive.

Thanks, works perfectly. Now I can delete some unnecessary JS :)

I just ran into this very problem.

My workaround includes checking the window width with JQuery and changing the fixed status box (originally on the right side of the page) to floating at the top should the width be below a certain margin.

Is this an acceptable solution?

(I am just beginning web dev in lisp)

I'm not sure if it satisfies all your needs, but Scheme 9 from Empty Space is a full R4RS Scheme implementation written from scratch in pure C (and Scheme). It has a heavily commented source code and a book, which is supposed to be quite good.

Here are some key points from the website which the book addresses:

- How does tail call elimination work?

- How is macro expansion implemented?

- How is arbitrary precision arithmetics implemented?

I recently looked at OCaml and quite liked it, but I was wondering if there is any SLIME/Geiser (these are the lisp and scheme IDEs for emacs) equivalent for it? I know there is tuareg-mode, but as far as I can tell it is not nearly as convenient as SLIME. Any ideas?

well, in this context no one is really "giving", it is there anyway and yours to decide if you just take it or pay for it. In a society where products are intentionally and willingly overproduced to maximize profit (while at the same time trying to dump wages and social securities), the moral boundaries on piracy and/or stealing are getting a bit hazy, at least in my opinion. Of course, the legal situation is pretty clear in most cases.

I appreciate that too.

Well I think it should communicate how to reproduce the experiment in a lab with the same or similar setup, not how to reproduce it with all kinds of different setups. If a lab does not have the equipment to reproduce a certain experiment, it's not the problem of the original authors.

Also, I think you should choose equipment which best suits the experiment, not other people.

Is asking such questions (smoking pot, questions about your social life) in a job interview legal in the US? From what I know, this would be illegal in most European countries.

you do realize that picking one example in your favor has no statistical significance?

That's why Piketty collected A LOT of data and wrote his book.
