just moved _back_ to central richmond _tonight_ from downtown san leandro. My wife doesn’t drive and we have 3 kids (expecting a 4th). It is the best compromise, though we would have lived NOPA west, and mid-sunset near irving/judah. A

It’s (still) extremely cumbersome to work out complicated math/physics problems on a computer, be it Maple, Mathematica, Matlab, or something else, so this doesn’t sound so crazy. Relatedly, you can’t easily comment code willy nilly ev

Brain and learning development of the population is also a collective concern, otherwise we wouldn’t have public school and IEPs. Banning lead plumbing with subsidies for removal is a collective improvement

Fluorescence detectors are volumetric though only operate during moondown at night, and in the case of both Auger and TA, are paired surface detectors. Auger uses more water tanks with a PMT lined with Tyvek and detect electronic and muonic

I think this is roughly true, but at a BigCo it’s not really feasible/easy unless you have a monorepo or otherwise extremely good build/integration tooling to deal with many repos (though Go can sort of deal with this) The issue i

I don’t think it was obviously open - Just because it was staffed doesn’t mean it was a regular work day. You’d have to read the law very closely but as someone who has had a trespassing ticket and even went to court, you will likely find n

IAEA even used the word burn to denote a nuclear process. Just because it doesn’t meet your definition doesn’t mean it’s not colloquially used within the field

There’s some large encampments under bart in East Oakland, in addition to other overpasses, underpasses, and other raised concrete infrastructure. I’m surprised more didn’t happen with the 580 (880?) overpass when there was a big fire near

This is my Wife’s dream, but it is usually never born out. Even simple names, like somebody mentioned Maria, can sound different enough to be annoying in the right parts of the country.

The iPhone SE 3rd generation would be the smallest mainstream phone, seeing as it’s still sold, but might not meet your definition of “current”. At this point I’d go back to iPhone 8 form factor if it gets an upgrade, but I’m on a 12 mini a

Saw them first in 2004 with my brother. Wolf Eyes opened, my brother ended up leaving because he was sick. It was my first “real” concert. I’d been listening to music heavily by then, we’ll into indie, but being poor and 17/18/19

my three year old (just this week, 4) had somehow learned to read on his own (he is on the spectrum). He seem to have picked up both sight reading and phonics as best as I can tell. He will try to sound out the word sometimes, but largely

I’ve visited Arecibo, a few near Shanghai, Gemini/SOAR/Cerro Totolo, the centre of the universe in Victoria BC, one near Cape Town, and several university ones, and probably a few more I am forgetting. UCO Lick was my favorite th

Are you asking if shrink varies store to store? Yes. I grew up in a grocery store basically, shrink could vary 30% or more between stores. Stores with liquor in the back corners could easily be 10% more. Theft is only reported if you caught

I think some Jacques Pepin videos, especially old ones, helped me to the next level, more than anything else. I have a 70s print of La Methods and, while I was fairly advanced before getting it, it is pretty thorough on methods for cooking

I spent a lot of time on the electrical audio forums, maybe 2005-2008. I loved it. Steve was there, so was Bob, so was all sorts of other audio engineers, punks, hackers, the guy from Groupon, all sorts of people. Steve was highly opinionat

I think it's (looesely) tasks vs threads. Threads have a stack trace and a well defined state in the JVM, tasks are objects on the heap. I work on moderate sized async reactive pipeline with lots of CompletableFutures throughout (and c
