Tractable in a sentence as an adjective

Sometimes you add points to a given function to make it more tractable and sometimes you don't.

These are problems that nobody in their right mind would try to solve by hand, but they're so tractable with programming knowledge.

To make this system tractable, firing decisions are made at a low level, early and often.

Assuming free will - which is the only sane assumption to keep this conversation focused and tractable - then yes. I can blame them for their own actions.

Since the static compiler was started earlier, and was inherently a more tractable system, it was done sooner.

This problem is probably tractable for large scale implementations.

But when generalizing to all women, and to all startups, in my opinion it's just too much abstraction to be a tractable issue.

Given current technologies and energy sources, the answer is almost certainly "no", but this is a much more tractable problem.

With computers, we can take on those formerly intractable problems by reducing them to massive systems of linear equations.

Before computers, the only mathematically tractable problems were those that could be reduced to linear problems.

Clojure and Erlang have somewhat simpler type system that may be more tractable out of the gate--Erlang in particular is pretty straightforward.

The threat model is "tractable attacks that isolate traffic using your tool from bulk Internet traffic".A torture cell will do just peachy at decrypting the actual packets.

Even in physics or mathematics, which are obviously much more mathematically tractable than computer science, people do not do significant new things by using only formal methods.

"Most of the legwork in compilers like gcc involves optimizing the output code and targeting multiple architectures -- writing a dumb translator for a single architecture is a far more tractable problem.

Doing 16 bits at a time instead of 8 isn't going to make Ruby string comparison timing tractable; the timing difference you're looking at is less than a nanosecond per byte, because Ruby's string comparison is essentially just C memcmp.
