Ahh, love the old pivot. At my company we had a horribly designed schema for our MVP and our postgres DB was getting hammered running our daily analytics. We had like 6 replicas going at one point and each of them getting maxed out... Then

there are a few high profile cases where the Euro predicted hurricane paths better then the GFS. Granted these hurricanes are HUGE events and better hurricane forecasts saves lives etc. However these models predict ALL the weather, all the

embarrassingly bad according to what? At my work we use the GFS data and our customers are extremely pleased with the data we provide.

good call, i'm a python guy who usually does science/infrastructure stuff but occasionally look at what is goin on with our front end libaries. Whenever i read thru our dep-chain i'm like holy shit guys, isArray is in here 4

Yeah... i'm totally guilty of abusing the 'python can do it' hammer instead of leveraging the DB. Just last week i looked at an old snippet of code that was essentially a 'query data, load in python, process, shove back

Is this actually a new frontier of the web? It seems more just like 'smart engineering' rather then some new thing. My version of 'edge computing' involves a guitar, a sweet beanie, and a butt load of guitar pedals. In f

lol is this a serious comment??? You have terabytes (petabytes) or data in front you of but cant think of a single thing to do with it???? Oh i know, we'll just 'machine learning' our 'big data' and get great busine

ugh... i dispise this crap.. " the “it just works” experience of using Kafka. " Blog post says how it just works, then shows a crazy diagram stringing together 8 different pieces of technology (which themselves are insanely deep)

Thanks for the writeup , and others for interesting suggestions. Always on the look out for people thinking about making scientific python more reproducible and accessible! For myself, i just activate the venv and then open a notebook in th

anyone have experience using one of these array data stores to handle large amounts of weather forecast data? At my job we've come up with our own clever postgres solution to handle the large amounts of gridded binary data. Essentially

Some of this hits home for me. I work on the WAY DEEP backend of one of these 'modern single page apps', so dont really care about the REST apis or UI/UX. I will say our actual website is a nightmare to use and I attribute a

Yeah kind of lame. Still this got me excited to play Mario RPG Seven Stars, that game is dope!

Well honestly you have to start with the science & physics. The 'model' (call it numerical weather prediction) is just a bunch of physics coded up and plugged in together. For instance you have a cloud parameterization model t

Say you want to measure how much energy is hitting the top of our atmosphere in a given day? Triple integral from infinity (the sun) to top of the atmosphere (call it 0). Examples with classic physics problems are good too. How about F=ma =

IMO a lot of companies are trying to put more sensors on things which seems kinda dumb to me. Ok you can put 100 soil moisture sensors in my one field for 'precision ag' but what happens when i drive a big ass tractor over the fie

I'll take a quick stab. First off it's not a software computer system. Their are so many different elements in play. Your robot needs to know about soil science, agronomy, pests, weather predictions, stock markets, machinery, the

Across the heart corn belt (iowa/illinois/indiana) we see 200+ bu/ac yields for corn consistently and majority of fields are rain-fed (non-irrigated). Hell in 2014/2015 some people around me (champaign IL) were hitting 2

Yeah I am with you... If it's not a habit it is hard to do. Personally when i'm done with work I want to go play Dark Souls :p. Weekends though I will get the itch a little bit and saturday/sunday is when I can work on my own
