Environmental modelling is normally a little seperate to what you'd expect from a DAW. If you're unfamiliar, it's worth taking a look at EASE [1] (the semi grand-daddy of electro-acoustic simulation). Treble [2] are also doin

A bit of a meta note: the comments on that blog are a refreshingly utopian snippet of the best parts of the internet. Deep discussion about the work, including original authors of an earlier publication adding context is such a great way to

There a pretty neat free tool - http://pedestriancatch.com - that will also let you run walkability simulation anywhere with OpenStreetMap data. Great for when you’re moving or exploring somewhere new.

Hard agree. Even without going deep on a "serious language" there's a universe of DSLs that's mostly unexplored. Debuggers are the outlier in your group but there's not exactly a void for those other wishes. As just

Sitting on the front page of HN with a good read, and what is ultimately company promo and a careers link seems like a job well done. It made me read/click. Yes, building a physical DC is much wider scope than colo. This is one part of

This is great advice. The first x days change freeze on anything you'd like to implement / 'improve' is crucial. Definitely note down everything that you think is a good idea. By time you reach those first few months and

I think it’s the same with most knowledge work: spend the majority of your open-ended personal development time exploring a breadth of knowledge, ideas, and concepts so that you know where to go deep when stumbling into a new problem space.

That's a sound theory. I'm a fairly staunch atheist so do believe both are equally absurd. Even with that frame though it's easy to acknowledge community that forms around (most) religion serves to align group behaviour. This

It feels overhyped from YT ads but honestly brilliant.org is pretty good for drilling fundamentals of math, CS, and adjacent fields if you have any weak spots there.

This is good advice is you have the capital to back that. Not everyone is/has been on US SWE salaries though. There's also a non-trivial amount of meta-work in a self venture that's frankly not that fun. Speaking as someone a

This is great. I’ve spent some time working with gov teams where this is recommended practice [0]. In many cases though codifying as a requirement is still needed for that recommendation to be followed. This is particularly true for those

Side notes are a great layout for most deeper reads. There's some great tooling for that via https://edwardtufte.github.io/tufte-css/ and https://tufte-latex.github.io/tufte-latex/ .

I think that applies in general. A formal education, in any domain, forces you to explore areas of knowledge that may not be directly applicable to immediate 'real world' problems. It does however give you the background to identi

It doesn't need to happen on device, just upstream of storage (and as close to the source as possible to minimise transport overheads). Most of the OTel collectors are good at this, but IMO Grafana Alloy is particularly neat. This work

Now do it again, but include compile time and amortise across the number of executions expected for that specific build. I say this as a pretty deep rust fanatic. All languages (and runtimes, interpreters, and compilers) are tools. Differen
