   I left the PDE group as a postdoc a few months before she joined. This even further solidifies that I wasn’t quite cut out for that level of mathematics… haha. Congrats on her win!

   Project management is hard. I wrote and won an SBIR award this year. A much different scale than the article, but I spent a lot of time writing the plan and budget and sourcing components and estimating software tasks. Two months in and a b

   Can almost guarantee the bigger issue is the low quality “food” options, leading to obesity and diabetes.

   I was a long time Gawker reader. Did they push the boundary of taste and decency? Absolutely. But if you want to be fair, let’s compare their worst takes to the worst takes of other rags… or even the “paper of record” which routinely pushed

   I live on 1 acre against a small wooded area in central PA. Very rarely see dead birds. The other day I saw a dead bird and a very confused bird next to it in my garden, young robins I think. I thought perhaps they were attacked until I rea

    I bought an Acurite Iris for $90 and a $25 SDR dongle for the RPI (no indoor hub necessary). You don’t even need WeeWx if you just want to pump messages to MQTT… this can be done with rtl-433. Was up and running in 15 minutes with this guid

    I fully agree regarding unions or even co-ops. The managers at this job wanted me to have ideas about the future of the product... that is, do their managing for them. Why would I contribute in that manner after you demonstrated your view o

    My last job was remote even before pandemic, but the pandemic was used as an excuse to fire people... who a few months later turned into off shore replacements. Thankfully I received an SBIR which will cover half my salary for a few months.

    Also agree. While insects stings are part of growing up, I think I only had a tick on me once as a child. Now the "tick check" is part of the bath routine for my kids... even when they stay in the mowed area of our lawn (out of th

    I've been saying this for a while: in the absence of reproduction rights or some other thing of value attached to them, NFTs are a fancy system of provenance.

    Yes integration is a 1/f Fourier multiplier. But if you want to do (1/f)^alpha then it's not so straightforward in the time domain.

    My guess is that you have to think of the dynamics to see that the "jet stream is increasing in speed". Also... you really have to watch how that phrase is even defined. If the atmosphere were cleanly cut along latitude into &quot

    Can you comment at all about the tuning algorithm you use? Do you monetize this? Currently work on a process control package (for the next few days, anyway) and am interested in your approach.
