You wouldn't be the target audience. That sounds pretty interesting to me, and I'd be particularly interested in the science that underpins physical engineering — structured and systematic knowledge, rather than ad hoc engineering.
Science HN would be for scientists, first and foremost, not hackers
- whatshisface 4y agoIf you're generally interested you would benefit a lot more from reading about the old stuff that everyone knows.
- 3pt14159 4y agoThis is kinda what I'm getting at with my original, downvoted post. It's a giant forest of tiny little details that scientists talk about. There is nothing close to the "we're all on the same(ish) page" that software developers have. The example I went with was one I had some partial familiarity with as a former structural engineer, but ever that I found boring, let alone what type of enzyme a specific frog in the amazon uses to evade the poisons of a given snake. The graph is too large for science to have any sort of meaningful discussion these days.
