| April 20, 2009

The funny thing is that if you’ve been burned by this in your programming, you’ll find it tragically funny.  All kinds of disasters from mundane to NASA-level have ocurred because people didn’t make their variables large enough.  Thanks for that reminder, xkcd.

Amongst the professors in college and amonst us graduates of scientific fields, here’s how people tend to feel. (courtesy of xkcd): thanks to Randall Monroe’s use of the Creative Commons, enjoy this great twist on the comic by Mark Pilgrim.
