Compiler and static-analysis warnings also could have detected the unreachable code, though false warnings might have drowned out the signal if such tools weren't already being used regularly.
I'd purpose that these tools weren't being used properly rather than turning the issue into a nail for the unit testing hammer.
Finding black holes in quiescent galaxies is difficult because there are no gas clouds feeding the black holes, so the cores of these galaxies are truly dark. It can be only detected by this 'tidal disruption event'."
But we can't coordinate sensors across the city to prevent me (and 30 others) from having to stop at a red light so that one car can pass, and then watch the intersection go unused for another 90 seconds
I'm not too far from you. I emailed the all-our-lights-are-synchronized LADOT about this last year and after a few months the reply I got was a short comment saying the system "worked as it was designed".
I regularly drive a main artery with a timing system and several sensors, including some that seem to keep the light green a little longer after countdown if there's heavy traffic. Since it's not well designed, the only way to make each light is by speeding or crawling between them. The best you can reasonably do is to minimize the waits.
There are plenty of scientists out there who poach free online data sets and mine them for additional findings.
I think the additional findings are part of what science is all about. How do scientists 'poach' something that's free? Did you think waiting many decades for the Dead Sea Scroll results was acceptable?
If data is that expensive to collect, then its collection and publication should rank as an end in itself.
It could be one's business if you care about the society you live in and you believe these salaries are symptomatic of a progressively increasing income inequality. Large income inequality has not been shown to be healthy for a society.
I only bothered w/the McNider & Christy article.
Do they fix the physics of any of the models? No.
Do they put forward their own model? No.
Do they have any scientific explanation for changes in weather patterns:
Shouldn't modelers be more humble and open to saying that perhaps the Arctic warming is due to something we don't understand?
^Thanks. It seems you can remain anonymous and that it's up to the business owner to provide evidence that you couldn't have been a customer. If your negative review was vague, e.g. 'bad service' it would be an impossible burden on the owner - unless he could provably count his customers on one hand.
Some things have changed and some haven't. I didn't really learn much about his expedition till after the hype several years ago died down. At least it created a lot of material. The story is amazing.
It is, kind of. One might think the area around a pulsar would be fairly cleaned out and you've got to wonder where the asteroid came from and what kicked it in. While we've detected planets and asteroid/dust belts around stars, this might be the smallest extra-solar object ever detected.
The model simulations were carried out on the supercomputers of the Advanced Centre for Research Computing at the University of Bristol. They were not funded in any way, and were set up in the author 's spare time.
I wouldn't argue this was a waste of resources as one's weather models should be tested for reasonable results in 'alien' settings. The amount of information and research methods have come a long way. It's not meaningful to compare the environment fifty years ago.
Public institution doesn't mean its resources are available to the general public for use as they see fit. His taxes are spent there to educate students. Slaking your thirst is not the same as slaking the thirst of your lawn, car or other personal property. That being said, the arrest was a waste of resources and a simple warning was in order.
Is it similar to different races? In light of the recently (too lazy to look it up) revised unification of what were once thought to be different human ancestor species, could the whole interbreeding thing simply be the first signs of larger scale population migrations?
You'd think there would be some estimate of the advertising pie and how much thinner the slices get when coming up with a valuation for companies following this model. You'd think.
America essentially turned into a nation of sheep dogs for democracy after Pearl Harbor. Though at the same time there were internment camps for Japanese-Americans. "The United States has employed a number of paranoid tactics that delegitimize its democracy" at least going back to John Adams. It's not something that's going away anytime soon. Yet, in America's case, it manages to get corrected.
An admin requesting your password raises flags, but it's possible many provided it because they didn't want to argue. That being said, you'd think at least one of the 20+ would have gone to their local security person as a follow up.
Attractive women in combat is hardly a paradigm of right-wing militarism.Nor was the gore which could easily have been aimed at Hollywood. I thought parody was the clear intent when I first saw the film on cable many years ago.
My admittedly limited understanding of the business is that margins and profits are very tight. I can't image something like this pulling its weight in terms of cost-benefit.
While the contracts may be more complicated you've got to wonder whether the right incentives are built in. Perhaps the gov't could have tied payment (or penalty) to certain post delivery metrics such as average time to sign up. What are the incentives that make e.g. Amazon, Google and Facebook software deliver a better user experience and how can they be incorporated into the contract?
Using phones during red != continuing to use phones after change. If the tickets had been given after the light turned green there wouldn't have been a story.
I should add the main criteria I use are 1) is it (programming language, operating system, application) still popular and 2) whether it has changed much over the years. I figure it's an inexpensive way for someone to teach themselves the basics w/o having to stare at a screen. If they're able to get up to speed with the book they should be able to handle the changes or new features in later versions.
After losing contact with the spacecraft last month, mission controllers spent several weeks trying to uplink commands to reactivate its onboard systems. Although the exact cause of the loss is not known, analysis has uncovered a potential problem with computer time tagging that could have led to loss of control for Deep Impact's orientation. That would then affect the positioning of its radio antennas, making communication difficult, as well as its solar arrays, which would in turn prevent the spacecraft from getting power and allow cold temperatures to ruin onboard equipment, essentially freezing its battery and propulsion systems.

The refractor should be good for planetary, lunar and solar imaging where you're at. If you're ambitious try some narrow band imaging with the 10".
The dark cores have been observed in light curves http://arxiv.org/abs/1310.5310

I would guess the most successful (i.e. published) amateur science is done in coordination with professionals.

only so much money advertisers will pay
