Hear Ye! » Flight 17: PAO-PAO
http://www.hearye.org/2015/05/flight-17-pao-pao
700am Friday 5/15 (1.0 hours) – 824LB. Second day with a few decent landings to start off with, but I seem to get worse the more I do in a row. Fatigue? John introduced me to power off landings today as well. They are basically short approaches simulating an engine failure when you’re roughly abeam the numbers on downwind. Some differences to a normal landing:. The turn to base is done sooner (accounting for wind). Flaps are kept up, pitch for best glide speed and trim. Bull; Tweet This. New to this site?

Dave's Programming Blog. The Church of Alan Turing of Latter-Day Sorcerers. Part two of the Amazon shipment. Code Complete: A Practical Handbook of Software Construction. 8211; I read a recommendation for this somewhere. Can’t immediately remember why I thought I needed it desperately. The Design of Design: Essays from a Computer Scientist. 8211; by Fred Brooks, author of The Mythical Man-Month. All of you should have read by now. 8211; sort of a challenge to myself to see whether I can follow it.

Priority-queued channel in Go — Dave's Programming Blog
http://dev.mcleish.id.au/2011/01/priority-queued-channel-in-go
Dave's Programming Blog. The Church of Alan Turing of Latter-Day Sorcerers. Priority-queued channel in Go. Right So. I’ve been writing my standard hello-world Sudoku solver in Go. It reached a plateau about a week ago when some changes that I thought were going to make it faster actually made it slower. I think I did something to a function that stopped the compiler inlining it. Or something. The point is that I was getting diminishing returns from incremental improvements to the current code. S, anyway&...

Dave's Programming Blog. The Church of Alan Turing of Latter-Day Sorcerers. Archive for Random experiments. A couple of my interests overlapped this morning when I found out that Google Goggles solves Sudoku. As an almost-related aside, I’m still tweaking my Go Sudoku solver. More on that later.). So, after a bit of discussion, we decided to try to mess with it by feeding it invalid puzzles. Here’s one of the tests I tried – note the 4 in the upper-left block, which should be a 3. Set that in stone, then...

Dave's Programming Blog. The Church of Alan Turing of Latter-Day Sorcerers. A few orders of business heading into the new year…. My resolution for 2010. To learn to use Emacs properly remains unfulfilled. Despite my flirtation with Eclipse. I’m now back with Emacs and will probably stay there unless I do something Java-related. Eclipse is just too bulky and all-encompassing – my mentality is starting to drift back towards the Unix-y toolset approach. (Yes, I just used. As an example of a tool that. And w...

Dave's Programming Blog. The Church of Alan Turing of Latter-Day Sorcerers. I said at the end of my sort-of review of. That a few things bugged me while reading it, not about the book, but about Java itself. These aren’t totally well-formed in my head, so I’m going to try to write them down in an attempt to get them to make sense. This may or may not work. Stay with me here. Ah, here we go. A recommendation from chapter 2 (and the first itemised piece of advice in the book). Okay, moving on. The next...

New Year’s Resolution — Dave's Programming Blog
http://dev.mcleish.id.au/2010/01/new-years-resolution
Dave's Programming Blog. The Church of Alan Turing of Latter-Day Sorcerers. New Year’s Resolution. This year I intend to learn to use Emacs properly. I’ve always liked Emacs in principle but never really been able to remember the arcane command sequences to do anything beyond undo, search/replace, and some basic navigation and file stuff. This is the year to jump down the rabbit hole. A backup resolution, in case the rabbit hole turns out to stink, is to switch to vi. 1 Comment ». Stuff partially by me.
