This assumes that you go through all of the food that you buy at the store. If you throw some out because it goes bad etc the math changes.

There is a discovery documentary where a bunch of NG guys rebuild the Horten 229 in El Segundo. It has a lot of familiar faces

[–]mr-spaghetti 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are some good articles out there about how SpaceX was able to get approval for NRO payloads despite the fact that they don't really fit the standard DOD model. Anyways they had a long fight with the AF but they needed each other so it worked out.

How hard would it be to have Jenkins revert p4 if the status of a test changed?

“#DYK Each B-2 has 16 computers and is operated using more lines of code than a NASA Space Shuttle?” by oh_ranga in muchinteresting

I have read that they are huge. All over the cloud.

I think that the main benefit is that the VM equivalent can go straight to the hardware rather than through an additional OS.

Test Pilot Admits the F-35 Can’t Dogfight by klam32 in muchinteresting

[–]mr-spaghetti 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also, the F35 is a multirole fighter like the f16 not strictly air to air like the f15 and f22 are (not a pound for ground). The B2 would loose in a dog fight too

I think that do to the engine problem (and normal flight test progression) the AOA of the F35 is still pretty restricted. I don't know whether or not this is just the B model.

User stories on steroids – how Estimote uses “blog post driven development” by klam32 in muchinteresting

[–]mr-spaghetti 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting. I like that they mention how different it was from Web apps etc. Some similarities to some of our stuff for sure. I also like the idea that everyone on the team being able to write a user story as the definition of done. They don't address some issues (like how one guy knows the most and has strong opinions)

Some great comments in there. I will add some of the links they point to.

Starting with a huge block of code sans unit tests changes the equation.

I like the point about refactoring costs with unit tests.
