Most of the federal losses likely won't show up in the report this week as they were after the reporting window (Feb 15th or something like that?). The April one is likely where it's really going to show up.

I pulled our flow restrictor out a couple years ago and watched our water bills over the year before and year after. In the year before we used 76 units of water, in the year after we used 78. So maybe it increased our total usage by 2.6%;

Like anything, really hard to say right now. My impression is there's some weakness from the auto industry struggling which is flooding the job market; but there's a lot of upside. They're investing big in a lot of new indust

As someone who has been looking; the EU Blue Card through Germany seems pretty stable and straightforward, with a 21/27 month path to permanent residency, depending on language ability: https://www.make-it-in-germany.com&#x2

It looks pretty flat to me over the last 5 years which roughly corresponds with their data: https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?date=today%205-y&ge... Maybe a small decrease over the last year.

If you want data on it; the St Louis Fed has some really good stats for job postings on Indeed in various sectors going back to 2020. They're rough in a lot of industries: IT Operations and Help Desk: https://fred.stlouisfed

Pretty fun overall. I really think it at least needs to give you the number of letters though. Some of the clues get really tough since you don't get any information - either number of letters or a few "given" letters from ot

The overhead rate at every corporation I've worked for is between 70-80%. Two S&P 100s, one 500.

You can. There's usually a hefty transaction fee when purchasing a funds not managed by whichever service you're on ($49?). Might be manageable if you're purchasing in enormous quantities; but a 5% fee on $1000 hurts if you&#

Seems to require smartmontools 7.4 (August 2023) which at least Debian isn't including yet (7.3). Wasn't particularly concerned about mine, but thought it'd be fun to poke at.

I'm still reserving judgement. In a vacuum I don't love the changes he made to Part 2 but I can also see how they will make it flow much better into Part 3 than Dune > Dune Messiah ever did (that always felt disjointed to me);

IE == Industrial Engineering: broad, but generally "Engineering of Systems" instead of a physical product. Laying out factories, setting up supply chains, etc. It's morphed a little bit from the original field so the name isn

Yeah, stats is the other major deficiency in the course load. I think one course is required but its basically high school level "check out these normal distributions, 68-95-99.7, here's a Z-score, see you later". Thankfully

Maybe some schools do but it's baffling to me its not a universal requirement. It'd be dramatically more useful than Calc3 for most engineers. Michigan doesn't seem to require it as the College of Engineering core classes or

Man this would have been nice when I was in school. For some reason linear algebra still isn't part of standard Mechanical Engineering course load (Calc 1, 2, 3, DiffEq) which made life extremely difficult in some of the later classes.

Yes/no. The design spec is something like “95% probability of completing 5 flights” - that is, the minimum threshold to be successful. That leaves a lot of extra margin to keep going well past it - 90% for 10 flights; 80% for 20; etc.

If its anything like our farmers market I'd bet they aren't actually locally grown. It's really hard to unpack which of our vendors are truly local; and which just buy produce from wholesalers, slap a "Name's Family

I had a few Cosmic Crisps during the overhyped launch and was not that impressed. It was just a pretty-OK apple. Maybe it was a similar issue - off-season and stored too long, but I haven't seen any around here in years (midwest).

Does it count if I just bought maintenance things for around the house I needed anyway? Got a free weekend, time to do some repairs I’ve been putting off.

That's been my experience. They apparently have no "understanding" of single lane roads. ~2022 Toyota and a 2025 Ford. Multiple times they attempted to steer me back into the oncoming vehicle because it thought I was too clos

To be fair, FEM is not the right tool for mechanical linkage design (if anything, you'd use rigid body dynamics). FEM is the tool you'd use to tell when and where the mechanical linkage assembly will break.

Those are definitely up next in the flashy-new-thing pipeline and I'm not that up to speed on them yet. Another group within my company is evaluating them right now and the early results seems to be "not very accurate, but directi

COMSOL's big advantage is it ties together a lot of different physics regimes together and makes it very easy to couple different physics together. Want to do coupled structures/fluid? Or coupled electromagnetism/mechanical

I've been a full-time FEM Analyst for 15 years now. It's generally a nice article, though in my opinion paints a far rosier picture of the last couple decades than is warranted. Actual, practical use of FEM has been stagnate for q
