Thanks! AWS was costly compared to the free HPC cluster but it was sub $1000 per month and our bottlenecks were person-hours rather than money. We had a lot of work to do. As some have mentioned there wasn't a strong technical argument

The government is not a business, but people can adapt, learn and re-purpose their skills. I think that the key, mistaken, assumption that you're making in your pushback is that general competence does not exist: people who are good at

Looks cool! I like the simple implementation. From a website vistor's perspective: I think an interesting direction would be to offer an asynchronous option (podcast?) for all converted content on a site. I think one reason people want

Author seems to be encouraging private donors, not governments. Given that, I don't see why we couldn't have both.

Great textbook, the exercises build up intuition, rather than just mechanically asking you to apply this formula then that formula.

Olympic weightlifting is already split into relatively thin weight brackets. I think the issue is that, pound for pound, men tend to be stronger than women In the 76-81kg womens bracket current record total (snatch + cnj) is 278kg. In the

Writing HTML/CSS is one of the hardest and most frustrating things I've done as a programmer. It sucks. I would actively break my website to get the job done without losing my mind. I would need to be very _motivated_ to change my

An article like this, comes up every few months. They tend to give an intro to the technical how-to but miss the step of convincing the readers that supporting screen readers is desirable. Ok sure, it'd be _nice_ if blind people could

I think the problem is that these academics literally do not understand or appreciate the benefits of having, say, a robust test suite with CI. Software development and DevOps is an alien culture and to be fair a good proportion of software

No. You'd be using pre-existing high-level tools for this purpose (in Python land this would be pandas, matplotlib, jupyter etc). Not all software development should involve writing your own framework, and it's a bit of a trope th

Yes. Rewriting this stuff is much easier when you've already automated it the first time, vs scratching together instututional folklore on how to run a job.

As someone currently writing scientific programs for scientists, much of the culture of scientific programming is bad and they are having rings run around them by kids who build websites for a living and it's embarassing. You think web
