Meditation is a blade with no hilt. I _accidentally_ fell into a vipassana state of mind after the first time trying a particular religious chant, seriously, from out of the pains …

If my personal experience is helpful to those trying to answer those questions then great, but I don't know the answer to them.

I'm at GSFC, and arrogance is definitely not a character trait of those on my team. Earth science may select for a different type of persona.

And volatile down is no worry sitting on a huge pile of cash. Buffet is well known to play long, big, safe, predictable bets, with recent exception with airlines with bad COVID tim…

What would you expect a 'present day champion' to do during the most volatile market since just prior to the Great Depression?

Jai is a programming language and not a game engine.

Do you honestly believe that Warren does not understand inflation?

You go to war with the army you have.

Where able, but its poor treatment of SWIG makes interfacing with standard tooling a royal pain. In many cases, I've rewritten Numba code in Cython or C for this very reason.

Scientists are typically not trained computer scientists. They do not care, nor appreciate these technical arguments. They have two datasets A, and B, and want their sum, expressed…

Python is married to Numpy for scientific computing.

Cython has first class treatment for Numpy arrays. Can Mypyc generate machine optimized code for chomping Numpy arrays element-wise?

Most Python data science offloads the data crunching to Numpy, an optimized array based processing library. This is feasible to reduce interpreter overhead considerably by using ar…

The game Destiny went this route to increase GPU throughput by 50%. An extra frame of latency, the dev's said, was hardly discernible on a controller.

"This meant that no formal system, could prove by itself, that it could only produce true statements. " I see this generalization often, that Godel showed that all formal systems s…

Are you referring to Numba's ability to offload certain loops into a GPU kernel? Otherwise, Clang has access to the same optimizations that Numba has as they both share LLVM as the…

If a well established abstraction solves the problem, then that's just a particular known about the solution space. If your data changes, your problem changes. We only ever solve p…

Inflationary theory. Someone more educated on the topic can pine in, but my lay understanding is that the output of some form of primeval radioactive decay (Big Bang) caused a phen…

A simple 4 note repeating melody of the word, in pieces, 'Hal.le.lu.jah'. Forget where I learned it from.

I highly recommend as an introduction Alan Watt's 'The Way of Zen', that covers, in great detail, the cultural background, history and practice of Buddhism, in its prominent forms,…

Oooooooooooooooooooooohm.

There was no pulling up. And there was no ground beneath my feet. Just an endless ocean with no points of reference by which to orient oneself. So the only course of action was not…

Ha, thanks for the history lesson. :)

I love Path of Exile! Thanks for working hard at making it great!
