Malaysia Airlines Flight 370: Runways in Range | WNYC: On March 8, 2014, Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 disappeared from civilian radar. Amid unusual (some say unlikely) theories that the flight may have landed, can we figure out how many runways might be available?
Data from X-Plane provides coordinates for runways around the world. A Boeing 777 pilot is quoted in Slate as estimating a runway length requirement of 5,000 feet. A recent Wall Street Journal article quoted sources stating the flight could have continued for 2,200 nautical miles from its last known position.
The WNYC Data News team found 634 runways that meet these criteria, spread across 26 different countries
Researcher reveals how “Computer Geeks” replaced “Computer Girls” | The Clayman Institute for Gender Research: Asked to picture a computer programmer, most of us describe the archetypal computer geek, a brilliant but socially-awkward male. We imagine him as a largely noctural creature, passing sleepless nights writing computer code. According to workplace researchers, this stereotype of the lone male computer whiz is self-perpetuating, and it keeps the computer field overwhelming male. Not only do hiring managers tend to favor male applicants, but women are less likely to pursue careers a field where feel they won’t fit in.
It may be surprising, then, to learn that the earliest computer programmers were women and that the programming field was once stereotyped as female.
The Stress Of Being A Computer Programmer Is Literally Driving Many Of Them Crazy | Business Insider: Stanford students studied how much time a person can really spend programming productively. In what shouldn’t be a surprise, they found that working too much reduces productivity. Overworked coders tended to produce less high-quality code when working 60 hour/weeks than refreshed people did when working 40-hour weeks. That hasn’t stopped the imposter/Real Programmer syndrome from taking hold.
Jharal: 'I Gave It My All' - Broncos. Pretty heartbreaking that such a superstar had his career ended so early due to injury. You can't doubt his heart though, I don't doubt he have it his all to get back. I like the fact the Broncos supported him as well.
