Hilarious, cheers! - Majento

"Memoize is a replacement for make. It is designed to be simple and easy to use. Above all, it allows you to write build scripts in normal languages like Python or the shell rather than forcing you to rely on make's hopelessly recondite makefile language." - Alex
ooh, I've dreamed about writing this forever. I really like the idea of including "BUILD.py" with some software, which just executes the set of commands to compile it, using memoize if it happens to be available. I think that would be way better than automake and its awful friends for software source distribution. If there's platform sensing to be done, it could just be done on the fly (and memoize-d). - ⓞnor
I just tried this on a small personal project. Seems to work, and so so so much simpler. - ⓞnor
I love that it uses strace to determine the input files used by a command, rather than making you maintain dependency lists yourself. - seth
Yeah, that's the key thing. It's nice to not even have to begin to think about header files and junk like that. You can also be redundant in your build script: for each program, compile all source files that should go into that program, and link them all together. If some source files are part of multiple programs, it will just skip compiling them after the first time. - ⓞnor
very nice. - Private Sanjeev

guess which quotes are from Bush, and which are from 60s Batman. I would have failed this completely - j1m via Bookmarklet
surprisingly hard, and I saw all the original Batman's in the 60s - Howard Trickey

It Takes Crude to Contango - TheStreet.com
June 25 at 10:22 pm - via Bookmarklet - Link
I want a visualization like that for the last year, or better yet the last 5 years. This particular chart was from the switch from backwardation to contango in early 2005. This article in general, from three years ago, is painting a somewhat complicated picture of institutional investors being front-run by opportunistic traders. - ⓞnor via Bookmarklet
Interesting. I didn't know what the terms backwardation or contango meant. - Chris White
My version, 1986-present: http://spreadsheets.google.com.... I can't draw any conclusions from it. I can't help but think that guy on TheStreet is spinning a fairy tale out of random data. - ⓞnor

Yes, only Jim Norris really knows, but I suspect I was copying ⓞnor too. - j1m
I can't wait for grouping, so we'll have automated help discovering these. Maybe when I feed something that's already been fed there can be a little graphic of a boulder falling from great height and crushing my Wile E Coyote head. - j1m

Whoa, that's just scary. I don't want to be on that plane... - Voyagerfan5761
I wonder why they were videotaping in the first place. Still, very lucky nothing happened. - Louis Gray
The weather in Germany was stormy in general the last couple of days. Northern Germany was supposed to be especially bad. The Lufthansa plane in the video is apparently trying to land at one of Hamburg's airports, which is up north. - Mustafa K. Isik
Louis - there is a whole subculture of people hanging out around airports taking pictures of planes landing and taking off. Sounds about as interesting as fishing to me, but these guys are really into it. - Frederic
The German weather service actually posted a hurricane watch alert for Saturday morning, so I am not surprised to see this. Sure is scary! - Mark Douglass
Scary. Makes me feel great that I'll be taking a Lufthansa flight to Germany this fall. =P - Dan Hsiao
Looked like it was going to be a pretty standard cross-wind landing, but the wind must have changed directions just a few seconds before touchdown. Must have been some good pilots. - Frederic
For those of you reading German, here is an article with some details from Der Spiegel: http://www.spiegel.de/panorama... - Frederic
Yeah, the storm was called "Emma" and it was announced before the weekend. Blew my teacher half off his bike he said, and I too saw some tree branches heading my way. The pilots were pretty lucid to start off again but I wonder why they tried landing with this weather in the first place. Spiegel suggests the base just communicates the conditions, then it's up to the pilot whether or not to land... - Philipp Lenssen
This article from BILD (in German) has some pictures where you can actually see the wing scrape the ground... http://www.bild.de/BILD/news/l... - Mark Douglass
if the wing scrapes the ground, wouldn't you wonder "maybe if we lift off again, the plane may fall apart?" - Huy Zing
@Huy, when you're in the cabin in the rush of adrenaline trying to save your sorry ship and passengers, you hardly have time for doubt. - Urbansheep
I'm going to guess this happens a lot more often than people realize, and it only made the news this time because there was video footage. The plane is already back in service as they decided there wasn't any structural damage to the wing. - Kevin Fox
Yeah, looks like it was a gusty crosswind. Glad to see they made the go-around. Good work on the part of the pilots. Personally, I'd divert to another airport after one of those. Give my heart a chance to start beating again. - Cyrus Lendvay
@urbansheep you must have seen Top Gun 100 times too! "You don't have time to think up there. If you think, you're dead" - Huy Zing
