Any time there was bipartisan consensus, both sides agreed to do truly awful things -- e.g. Iraq war. I don't miss "reach across the aisle" one bit. Although, now the dems are largely playing Kayfabe so eh. Lose/lose.

West Virginians as I understand it largely hate Joe Manchin. It's just that any of his competitors are worse (somehow) or get outspent by several orders of magnitude.

K is cool but really, really expensive. Kevin Lawler's Kona seems nice. Shakti (next K version) could be good but I can't figure out a damn thing about it. And then there's J, which, man. Hard to learn, but cool.

The argument is that your entire program fits on one screen. It may be hard to read (without practice) but you can stare at the whole thing all at once. I don't know if I buy the argument but it's an interesting one.

Principles of Quantum Mechanics by Shankar is my favorite upper-undergrad book on the subject.

> He added that “value engineering,” trimming design elements to cut costs, was the primary cause of the problems It sounds like Gehry really made a mess of the place but also, MIT can be very weirdly cheap about some things so this also

the building is also full of pests lol. All of MIT is like this and held together with duct tape and dental floss. Still the most fun place to do science I've encountered.

Awful article, lol. They're not making a WiFi basestation or something. They're literally just making some broadcast in the 2.4 GHz ISM band.

there's no credible "back" on this. It's absolute bullshit.

insane that we're still expending any effort on this. I can't imagine a single academic that would assist their own career by putting effort into this boring pseudoscientific nonsense. Like, I guess you could do something like thi

Used to! I restored vintage oscilloscopes, played around with high voltage and low noise power supplies, and did some microwave stuff, too. Of the scopes I used, one was a tek 556 dual beam vacuum tube scope, and the other a 2 GHz lecroy f

Math twitter is consistently happy and good. People just ask questions and answer them in a helpful way and post coffee selfies. Also, vintage hardware twitter is nice.

The market for scientific software is a bit iffy. Scientific software also needs to be super super flexible since the users are, somewhat by definition, not doing something that's been done before. Hard market.

Foone wouldn’t be foone in any other format. They make great content and I wouldn’t wish them to change anything.

My point, that I should have couched in less snark, is that the ONLY thing that 3D printers have are the X, Y, and Z axes. The Z axis is also way too slow for a PNP. While it seems on the surface to be a good starting place, it’s maybe 10%

Go was designed to not cause widespread damage in the hands of a mediocre programmer. It prevents people from being too clever at the expense of more boilerplate and general busywork. This is the exact tradeoff that google wanted to make.

I tried doing this using prolog last summer to extract some features from a codebase. I loved it. Being able to query a codebase like a database is extremely useful.
