And its gone! 'Hot on Meta' has now disappeared from the homepage

I have a theory that if the homepage didn't show 'Featured On Meta' the reputation of the site would be much higher because we wouldn't all be getting a window into the bickering and nitpicking. The bickering and nitpicking is far too prominent on the homepage

The idea behind inertial navigation is to keep track of the missile's position by constantly measuring its acceleration. By integrating the acceleration, you get the velocity. And by integrating the velocity, you get the position.
This sounds like it couldn't possibly work (surely all the little errors compound?) but apparently it's how Apollo navigated

That approach only makes sense if trusted inputs are tested

Indeed. Its worse really, it means there was a bug lurking in their product that was waiting for a badly formatted file to surface it.
Given how widespread the problem is it also means they are pushing these files out without basic testing.
edit: It will be very interesting to see how CrowdStrike wriggle out of the obvious conclusion that their company no longer deserves to exist after a f*k up like this.

You are completely right. BTW It wasn't a software update, it was a content update, a 'channel file'.
Someone didn't do enough testing. edit: or any testing at all?
