I bought a house with 3 kids in the bay area (San Leandro) on slightly less than $135k (wife stays at home), but I had a rent controlled apartment in SF for 9 years. I bought at a good time (August 2020) and was able to use 403b without pen

I encountered the QGSJET-II model which we used for modeling cosmic ray showers in the atmosphere. At one point I was asked about finding a way to parallelize the code, but the 17k+ line fortran file for the model, which I recall also inclu
