Checksum

Effect of a typical checksum function (the Unix cksum utility)

checksum or hash sum is a fixed-size datum computed from an arbitrary block of digital data for the purpose of detecting accidental errors that may have been introduced during its transmission or storage. The integrity of the data can be checked at any later time by recomputing the checksum and comparing it with the stored one. If the checksums match, the data was almost certainly not altered.

人生没有过不去的坎,学会微笑面对,学会坚强承受(转载)

人生,没有永远的伤痛,再深的痛,在切之时,伤口总会痊愈。

人生,没有过不去的坎,你不可以坐在坎边等它消失,你只能想办法穿过它。

人生,没有永远的爱情,没有结局的感情,总要结束;不能拥有的人,总会忘记。

我们,就是在一次又一次的打击中长大,弱者在打击中颓废,强者在打击中深刻坚强。还是要学杨柳,看似柔弱却坚韧,狂风吹不断;太刚强的树干,风中折枝。

学会放弃,学会承受,学会坚强,学会微笑,那是一种别样的美丽!适当的放弃,是人生优雅的转身。 Read more

Diverterless supersonic inlet

diverterless supersonic inlet (DSI) is a type of jet engine air intake used by some modern combat aircraft to control air flow into their engines. It consists of a “bump” and a forward-swept inlet cowl, which work together to divert boundary layer airflow away from the aircraft’s engine while compressing the air to slow it down from supersonic speed. The DSI can be used to replace conventional methods of controlling supersonic and boundary layer airflow, such as the intake ramp and inlet cone, which are more complex, heavy and expensive.
