To anyone reading this who isn't an experienced boater: If you are invited onto someone else's boat, sit down and shut up during docking, don't talk to friends, let the captain concentrate. Don't help, if the captain wa

On ships like this the propulsion is separate from the steering. There is a separate rudder that is close to, but not attached to the prop and propshaft. The propshaft is fixed. The rudder doesn't just "restart in a random posi

Checks out. .2knots/hour = 405 yards/hour It was 4 minutes from power loss to impact. 405 yards/15 = 27 yards. And that's if the ship instantly accelerated to a 0.2 kt drift, which it wouldn't. Wind acceleration o

The difference for a car and drive by wire system is that the failure mode of control systems on cars is normally catastrophic and dangerous. If a car loses steering or brakes, it will hit something within seconds 95% of the time. That shi

It shouldn't happen. There will be investigations. I think that having a properly operating ship is the captain's responsibility. But the ship's pilot [1] (not captain) should know exactly how the boat will handle and the exa

I would tend to think so. The pilot should have anticipated prop walk and known that the ship had no chance of stopping before the bridge. I’m trying to find a color coded current map. Wind too. I wouldn’t expect wind or current to cause

Youtube tracking analysis from a knowledgeable mariner. He says that at about 1:24 AM the ship loses power (from video feed) while traveling 8.5 knots. at 1:25.30 power is restored. at 12:25.59 the ship shows smoke. The ship has already dr

Also relevant to season 2. The US seriously lacks dredging capacity, because we only allow US built dredges to operate on our ports. Only 1-3 of the top 50 highest capacity dredges in the world qualify. Bloomberg Odd Lots has a great epi

I wanted to be able to quickly clean data frames and view them. I want sensible defaults, and even sets of defaults that I can quickly toggle between. I also want the widget to be extensible easily. Already using the widget, every time I

I think of lowcode tools in two classes. 1. workflow tools like zapier or the BPM example. These focus on integration of external systems with minimal code. 2. A better interface than text to a complex model. Think CAD Software. I built a

I used Norvig’s lisp2.py to build a low code UI. I modified the interpreter to accept JSON flavored lisp, basically replace parens with brackets. The upside is that it was very very easy to make a react front end that manipulates JSON (JL

How much relevance does JEDEC still have? I would think NVIDIA in particular and other chip makers/integrators like apple make up their own standards now. It also seems less relevant because memory is rarely interchangeable anymore

Perspective is an awesome table library, very powerful and fast. I get the sense it's mostly used for internal finance applications and not for web apps much.

I wish more projects had guided tour videos that demonstrated the power of the tool in the hands of an expert user. Not "get started" but "why should I care". Wes McKinney used to have an excellent 5 minute introduction

Who is the audience for your documentation? If it's nontechnical internal I'd lean towards confluence more. If it's technical external target read-the-docs or the JS equivalent. If you have a venture funded startup, the poli

When writing a new library with little adoption, with a goal of driving adoption where do you think effort should be dedicated between documentation, features, and promotion? I think they all together a bit. I see documentation as a way of

Can you give examples of better JS renderers? What is needed for performance of traditional GUI app rendering? I'm particularly interested in table rendering. Glide and Perspective are both canvas based renderers, but I haven't d

Very exciting! I took a quick look and I have a couple of questions. 1. Can you describe your interactive widget story? I see that you integrated altair, and there is some custom written react code around it [0] [1]. I'd be interest

I'd like to think I would. I hope new buyers would.I would stick with used toyotas. I suspect the manufacturers know this and build accordingly.

One of the reasons large rental companies self insure is so that they can do repairs in house without listing cars as salvaged. They make it back on resale I think I read this from car dealership guy.

If you use jupyter check out what I'm building with Buckaroo. The aim is to have a table viewer that does the right/obvious thing for most data (formatting, sorting, downsampling large datasets, summary statistics, histograms).

Another way of looking at it is that single family houses "over-consume" land. There are vacancies in the vertical space above most homes that far exceeds the vacancies created by absentee owners.
