it was a mecca before this. 2014 was about 12-18 months into the tent encampment era (especially around the mission and Division) of homelessness though it was rapidly expanding in numbers and neighborhoods then and after that. Before that,

I don’t think there is a good solution here. I realized that I must have a 90th-95th percentile memory when compared to my coworkers, but it frankly doesn’t matter if I write things in chat or a long form document, it’s often lost to much o

I've been fortunate to look through an eyepiece at Lick, it is pretty amazing to look at Jupiter (+ moons) and parts of the moon up close through such an instrument. I wish the floor had still worked though.

I’m annoyed that this will be the bridge too far that killed a useful service, even though it was never one I checked daily. If I’d have known 6 months ago I would have accepted the offer to sell my twitter handle for $400.

I vastly peter CFFI for simple things in C with python, but pybind11 isn’t so bad for C++. Swig has always been annoying.

I was more skeptical with ChatGPT but started paying for it. For better or worse, my company/team uses documents for communication, and it helps me automate the boring stuff - word smithing and clarifying ambiguity. The flip side of t

It seems this will end quotas, but it seemed like there would always be workarounds or proxies admissions (especially deep pocketed ones) could use to meet their goals that they were not using. (I realize quotas were suppose to be illegal t

It’s easy to bash big government but a well-funded agencies (like the USGS?) should be responsible for bringing clarity to things like this through surveys and research. Unfortunately, I am not sure either party truly believes in funding we

Another thing - Traces (and often metrics for that matter) are often treated as something that is investigated one at a time. There's a lot of tools out there to help visualize a trace. They are not, usually, treated as something that

The problem is the premise of the question. Is “better programmer” a useful metric to problem solving? For a class of problems, probably. Math and other hard sciences will probably give you a different perspective than a traditional CS educ

This would be good with batch HPC systems, possibly both for checkpointing and idempotency. I was trying out to do something similar with fuse overlays, but had so much issues (2020) with this and rootless containers at the time.

That sounds a bit more rigid than what I knew to be the case. I think every one I worked with from Goddard had a mac - unless - they specifically asked for something else. That includes both the civil servants and contractors. Purchases wer
