That's a great idea. :) I am too used to the "Grab a coffee" worldview.

Learning viola. I've been thinking about it off and on for a few years. I got a very cheap one off Amazon, and only through dint of my prior musical experience (bass 10 yr ago, violin 30 yr ago), was able to put it into a decently play

thank you. this is common advice. And to answer: I have run the financials on a PhD program. I have done highly independent research as part of my Master's. I am aware the TT job market is dicey on a good year. I am aware that it'

Very interested in working through the PhD as a mid-career SW engineer with a MS. Curious how someone in that state would be seen by the acceptance committee, or, alternatively, by hiring committees post-graduation. Perspectives?

The simplest answer is that I was aiming at doing a projection from 4D into 2D. 4 dimensions in Euclidean space have 6 planes. A 4D rotation thus has to have a ton more of sine/cosine calculations than a 2D one. Projections down from t

my initial thought was that hyperspace would allow a _shortening_ of the distance traveled from point P0(x,y,z,q) to P1(x,y,z,q). Since I was _really_ into space combat games at the time... that would have been really cool! However, - and t

I love 4D graphics. Many years ago, in my freshman year of college, I wanted to create a 4d space game, and spent about a year grinding out an OpenGL rendering engine. I taught myself the requisite mathematics and realized that my conceptio

I love hacking on code, it's why I got into it. The Official side of it all can be a real bummer. I can always measure my burnout levels of Official work by how much I start hacking at home. I make a fairly distinct separation between

Names have symbolic value beyond the intended referent. Typically, wisdom dictates choosing names that aren't immediately offensive out of the gate. I won't speculate on whatever led you to such fatuous conclusions, because ad ho

That was my immediate thought as well. Profoundly and deeply unsavory.

That is his m.o. when critiquing Japan. If you read between the lines to what he is really saying, I would think you would revise your opinion substantially.

That is technically termed sonification , FYI.

This is possibly the most irresponsible project I've ever seen. There appears to be a deep lack of regulatory experience, along with a deep lack of QC, and it's presented as a jailbreaking , i.e., what is done to your phone. Some

Interesting. I wonder why this is being revealed, and why now, and who it serves.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0801058473/ Here's one book directly targeting the subject. But I know that some of my other titles treat it en passant as well.

I have almost no knowledge of biology past a weak high school education and that sentence gives me an approximate understanding. It's not gibberish if you look at what it says and carefully read it.

The muscular Christianity thing is fascinating. Modern threads of it show up in the football world where certain players or coaches are ostentatious about their religion. Comes from that time(I have a few books about it). I've worked a

Fascinating review. But, honestly, I really wish these ideas were treated as derivative of the religious-cultural matrix they came from. Why is transcendence given such a high priority? Speculatively - I am not an expert - it is due to the

Bummer. I liked Legere's style, and T-Mobile works reasonably well. Sprint was a total disaster in my experience.

I've used rst. It was an unmitigated disaster for anyone except the rst-fan who initiated the project. We eventually hauled the contents over to Confluence, because it was less painful that way. If you can imagine. Later on, we started

yes, it would. Costs start really getting heavy with EB at a certain point, since you're spinning up 1+ ASG & LB per service (a tier is an ASG and a LB, possibly a DB). I wouldn't build a microservice architecture against EB,
