    I still have a Tandy2000. I learned to code on it as a kid. I still boot it up every now and again to play some King's Quest.

    I see other people on here say this but I think it is so important that it can be said again. WRITE, WRITE, WRITE! As you read and learn I think it is so important to write. I sugg…

    Congrats on the launch! How do you prevent this from turning into another FB? Is there a difference between using this and using FB where you have all of your posts / activity only…

    I really agree with your comments; especially number 1. Often I can't use some black box implementation of an solver (or other algorithm for that matter) without some modifications…

    I had an issue with my pixel and had to send it in. The phone got ran over by a car and was smashed. It could be turned on but I could not do a factory reset. I have financial and …

    I was never a big social media person. But back in 2012 I totally went off of social media all together. It happened because I was in grad school and my girlfriend at the time had …

    Good question. Also consider that most of the threats to GPS are ground based jamming. It is fairly easy and cheap to make a jammer out of hobbyist parts and knock out a large area…

    SpaceX will (and does) have good coverage but the accuracy will not be to anywhere what people have come to expect from GPS. At least not without major design changes to focus on t…

    I agree. We only do on the order of 20 to 50 a day but only a few times a year. Having something like this would help a lot. Not that it can't be done on a computer but when in a r…

    Sorry, I did not mean to imply that the only value that the creators had was making a nice UI. I truly meant it as a compliment. There is hard work involved in creating a product o…

    The idea seems simple enough and the math to do these kinds of predictions is fairly straight forward unless there is some secret sauce under the hood that isn't obvious. I guess t…

    Usually Digital Twin = Model = Simulation. Different industries have different words for it. Some call a difference between a Digital Twin / Model and a Simulation where the simula…

    Thanks for the feedback! Seems like you and I both have had a bit of experience being first engineering hires at startups but have had very different experiences when it comes to r…

    My view is from a small startup with little to no room for single purpose employees. When I first started hiring and working with data scientist my view was this: If you can only m…

    Thanks for the solid article! Reminds me about some bash writing that I have been avoiding.

    I generate invoices using FreshBooks for years. However, I don't use many of the features so I eventually just started to create my own using a word template. Nothing fancy but get…

    I do agree with you on publishing seeds for Monte Carlo simulations however the argument against it is also very strong. Usually when you run a monte carlo simulation you are quoti…
