I really wish we can do an AMA with these two,
> # THE MASTER IGNITION ROUTINE WAS CONCEIVED AND EXECUTED, AND (NOTA BENE) IS MAINTAINED BY ADLER AND EYLES.
I had to look this up, NOTA BENE is latin for,
observe carefully or take special notice
- phireal 10y agoHence N.B.
- ceocoder 10y agoI never made that connection. TIL. Thank you!
- kunstmord 10y agoRandom note: When I was in the 5th grade, our math teacher taught us the meaning of Nota Bene, and used a NB sign to mark important notes when deriving formulas. Still use to this day when making notes
- ghurtado 10y agoI think I'm going to start using NOTA BENE in my source code comments just to be fancy. [EDIT] On second thought "HONI SOIT QUI MAL Y PENSE" would be much better ("Shame on whosoever would think badly of it")
- anarazel 10y agoPostgres' code is full of NB: :)
- verytrivial 10y agoAlso the "NOLI SE TANGERE" for "DO NOT TOUCH".
- el_chapitan 10y agoSuddenly my Latin and Computer Science majors make more sense together.
- strudey 10y ago"Note well"
- Bromskloss 10y ago… lest you fall into it.
- ceocoder 10y agoI found Don Eyles' website[1], > At MET 102:39:31 the best possible confidence builder occurred — throttle down, right on time. "Ah! Throttle down... better than the simulator" commented Aldrin, "Throttle down on time!" exclaimed Armstrong, their excitement palpable. In the official transcript of communications between spacecraft and ground during the powered descent, these are the only exclamation points[11]. goosebumps.
