If you haven't already read the Acts of Cain books by Matthew Stover, definitely recommend those for a cool mix of fantasy and scifi. Also the main character is a total badass.

I especially enjoy non-fiction audiobooks when I'm doing something that doesn't require concentration, e.g. walking, running, driving etc. Then I can really think about the topic, but I don't get bored or distracted as easily

I'm interested to know how you rate the matlab alternatives on interacting visually with the data? I often want to do things in Matlab like plot a largeish data set, then zoom in to different features, or open an array of data in a win

I guess it would probably be cool to have a specially designed chair with attached gear etc., but I found I could achieve the same effect with my couch, a table for my computer, and a coffee table for my mouse. My keyboard just sits on my l

I think it's worth considering that the absolute number of covid deaths in Sweden per day at the moment is around 15. I get the value of per capita rates, but do you think the numbers are as meaningful when they're that low?
