Every institution with a big enough research budget gives SBIR grants. I got money from NASA last year (project didn’t work out, unfortunately).

The SBIR program is essentially what you describe… though with a research bent. Virtually zero red tape with a Phase I grant (apart from the application itself).

I still have a some un-assembled Whitewings on my bookshelf! The book that came with it was pack full of design details.

The “dust” from a whiteboard is worse, imo. And I used to like clapping the erasers!

My dad still whines about Peter Frampton due to his time on a submarine in the late 70s. Could only take so much vinyl out to sea and I guess shanties were out of fashion haha. I personally tend to listen to full albums repetitively. Lately

Gawker was bought during bankruptcy. I don’t think there was any new content for many years. Since Weinstein was mentioned, I have to admit I read Gawker and therefore was not surprised when hearing the allegations against him in the broade

I was a bit disappointed when I found out Chick Corea was a Scientogist. He and Edgar Winter played on some terrible albums.

Any sort of plugin architecture, e.g. VST audio plugins. Often there's an interface which you could implement directly, or you could inherit from an abstract class which provides some common functionality. I like this because it stress

Columbia Journalism School… my perception is that it’s like Stanford in the startup world. (But I’ve never been to either.)

I’ve worked with people who stick to “only one return statement per function”. Super annoying.

Also, it seems like the author might not be aware that the FT of a Gaussian is another Gaussian. I implemented this method (Timmer and Konig) a few months ago, and I think there are some other statistical tricks that work out nice for Gauss

Here in Pennsylvania, the official state police history describes the origin of the force as a replacement for coal company police, who were a little too brutal in their union breaking.

Adjuncts where? I was adjuncting at PSU Harrisburg campus last year while working on a startup… $5k/class and you have to work your way up to get a consistent course load. I believe that salary applies across the entire Penn State syst

This rocks. I wood chipped a portion of my lawn and now grow fruit/berries there. Every morning after the kids get on the bus I walk around, pull some weeds and dig into the chips and dirt to see what's going on down there. Very r

What is dynamic typing but lazy static typing?

> I just don’t give a fuck about impact or convincing others to work on my idea. Then you're talking about a hobby project. /seinfeld Not that there's anything wrong with that!

Thanks, I had the same thought when I reached the word “lazy”. The paper also describes function contracts, which I think simply ensure that the return types and argument types conform to a specification. This isn’t lazy, per se, but in a d

Phished credit cards? For a long time a silly credit card generator got past whatever simple check was performed when an account was created, allowing you access for a week or so until I guess an actual charge attempt was made. (This must h

At my institution the 9-month pay was less than $25k per year (from 2010-2016) with subsidized housing (still pretty expensive) and family on MediCal when my wife worked part time. How are you going to replace 50 TAs with full time employee

Did you talk to students in biological or other lab sciences? At my PhD institution the materials science students were paid a lot more (and barely taught) because they essentially had a 9-5 job with plenty of overtime. (Compared to the mat
