I take issue with a hard 20% cap on low income units. I'm not against low-income units in general but in practice this is the same exact policy that lead to less affordable housing in SF as a whole. Because these caps were set as har

The integration with xarray[0] and the Pangeo[1] community at large are pretty good. Not good enough for sub second response on large datasets but very good for analytic workloads, especially when you are dealing with larger than memory dat

High pressure over the north east pacific combined with the Coriolis effect. Also the land sea border has a big influence here in this case in particular.

All of the big agency (NWS, ECMWF, ICON, etc.) use physical models to create the large gridded forecast products. These models work by solving differential equations so your intuition here is spot on!

GEFS is the noaa ensemble product. The operational GFS is actually just a single deterministic forecast run. A lot of private providers roll up different agencies models to provide their own proper ie tart weather model because this is a lo

They will sell you an irridium go and distribute data through their own email client but you can get all of that through Sailmail and using the saildocs email GRIB service for less money with a lot more flexibility, also I’m not sure how go

You may be interested in era5 data for historical reanalysis. This is published by the ECMWF and is available for free. I’m pretty sure it has solar irradiance data but I’m not certain. You can also get NCAR reanalysis and other model reana

It turns out almost all the organizations follow the same training standards set out by the WRSTC (World Recreational Scuba Training Council). The big exception is CMAS which past level 2 no longer is comparable to the WRSTC program tracks

Nitrox is 100% fatal at depths beyond prescribed limit. The whole point of Nitrox is to increases the oxygen content in the gas to minimize nitrogen absorption. A side effect of this is that you will get to hyperoxic poisoning thresholds

When I first started working on software I was fortunate enough to get exposed to working municipal contracts. One example was building out a payment gateway and website for the LA county coroner and medical examiner. This included making a

I think your second point here often gets missed/understated. That energy and those computers could have been helping forecast severe weather events or working to fold proteins or any other number of useful tasks that don't invol

To me this difference in market cap and revenue you illustrate demonstrateS more that AMD has a lot of market to gain while INTC stands to lose ground. As an investor it would seem that AMD has more potential upside. Add to that they are cu

I would add the most important thing is to start getting paid to learn programming. This doesn’t necessarily mean getting a full time job as a software engineer (yet) but smaller more manageable things. For example, take a boring task you a

Fwiw I never went to a boot camp (nor have an engineering degree of any kind). I was lucky enough to have a few opportunities where I was paid to learn. Got my first big boy developer job at a startup in Santa Monica in oct 2014 after worki

I have worked in a quite office and an open office and I think at the end of the day my feelings are the same. I am more productive and can get more done in less time when I do my own thing in my own space. One thing I think worth mentionin

for me, using docker on my own workstation (OSX) makes it easy for me to test deploy's to multiple machines quickly (even if these are only locally hosted VMs). docker-machine facilitates that by allowing you to quickly spin up and sp

Here is a wild idea... If you are going to be a publisher of books, why not qa (ie edit) these books the old fashion way. If quality books is the top priority, no algorithm will match the discernment of the human eye. I am a developer, (no
