But what if the genie instead offered (or threatened) to give _everyone_ the answers to everything you'll ever discover in your career, including your boss, your competitors, etc?

Is the telescope design available anywhere for hobbyists to build? I can't seem to find anything in the article or in a separate search. I'd be interested in perhaps putting one of…

> “This isn’t just a new value of the Hubble constant,” the collaboration notes, “it’s a community-built framework that brings decades of independent distance measurements together…

Probably the biggest purpose for me is to have something to look back on. The last time I consistently journaled before this was during the time when I dated, got engaged to, and m…

I have been doing a one-line-a-day journal for the past two years. If I ever feel like writing more I have a separate section for that, but I only ever tell myself to write the one…

Right. All it takes is for one to work out, if you have several suitable options. If some of the options are only vaguely suitable, or it comes to light through the process that so…

If you're referring to Cubit, they license the ACIS kernel under the hood.

I notice that your application asks about willingness to relocate. Are you able to do fully remote for the right candidate?

> So much of writing is managing your own emotions. The virtue of “pseudowriting” is that it helps you preserve hope for as long as possible—hope that what you will eventually put …

I didn't have time to get through the whole article today, but I did spend some time with my kids playing the Wikipedia first link game, which we enjoyed. We kept trying to find on…

My brother just finished building an automatic pipe organ for his Mechanical Engineering senior project. Or maybe you'd call it a street organ since it has no keyboard. It has midi…

I'm the kind of guy who decently likes maps, and I pay attention to where I'm going and also to the map before, during, and after using a GPS (Google maps). I do benefit from Googl…

You're right, I was thinking of Combobulate, linked in a sibling comment.

I'm not extremely familiar with the details of incremental parsing, but I have used Cursorless, a VSCode extension based on tree-sitter for voice controlled structured editing, and…

Here is a nice article on a study of baseball bats using microphones. https://www.acs.psu.edu/drussell/bats/papers/AcousticsToday_...

All models are wrong, but some are useful. If you’re discussing large groups of people, you have to somehow compress the data. On the other hand, yeah, you probably shouldn’t prefe…

So these addition formulas that apply to series and parallel resistors seem more generally to be formulas for finding the new ratio when you have several ratios and want to add the…

> Isn't IGA's shtick just replacing classical shape functions with the splines used to specify the geometry? That's how it started, yes. The splines used to specify the geometry ar…

Interesting perspective. I just attended an academic conference on isogeometric analysis (IGA), which is briefly mentioned in this article. Tom Hughes, who is mentioned several tim…

For some reason the copy my library has doesn't have that page the same as it appears on hathitrust. Other nearby pages match the snippets I see on google books, but that page does…

I just put in a request at my university library for that item. I'll let you know what it turns up.

The biggest thing that keeps me from using Julia rather than Python for math prototypes is that it uses one-based indexing. I go back and forth between these prototypes and my C++ …

I’m working on a PhD adjacent to computational differential geometry, and while I’ve made a lot of progress on the computation, I still don’t have much intuition for k-vectors and …

This doesn’t seem to address the original question very well. The question is someone who is unable to find time to fill their social needs between working a remote job and caring …

I made a calcium fertilizer for my potted peppers last month, soaking dried eggshells in vinegar. They did a similar “dance,” though the bubbles were formed through the chemical re…
