While `uv` works amazingly well I think a lot of people don't realize that installing packages through conda (or let's say the conda-forge ecosystem) has technical advantages compa…

While the limit of increasingly concentrated Gaussian's does result in a Dirac delta, but it is not the only way the Dirac delta comes about and is probably not the correct way to …

Observation assimilation is a huge field in and of itself. Observables have biases that have to be included in assimilation, they also have finite resolution and so observation ope…

TEMPO is one of three similar instruments, GEMS for Asia and Sentinel 4 for Europe.

Similarly I switched to Colemak, and I agree, it's not worth it for most people. I switched because I never typed with proper technique in QWERTY. I would only use ~2 fingers on my…

I wasn't worried about safe usage, more that some of the initialization may be moved inside the benchmarking function instead of outside of it like intended. I'm sure you know more…

Related on the Eigen benchmarking, I see a lot of use of auto in the benchmarks. Eigen does not recommend using it like this ( https://eigen.tuxfamily.org/dox/TopicPitfalls.html ) …

These benchmarks look to be ~8 years old, and don't really agree with benchmarks done by other sources ( https://romanpoya.medium.com/a-look-at-the-performance-of-ex... , https://e…

It seems like every large project these days has coalesced around Eigen, what are some of the advantages that Blaze has over Eigen?

I agree, I think upper bound constraints go against what is commonly accepted and used in the Python ecosystem. What I try to do on my projects now is to always have a nightly CI t…

There have been lots of posts here about efforts to “modernize” Fortran, which is great! But I’m wondering what the current state of things is. Has anyone recently started a new pr…

There’s a lot more to it than just snappiness. But where I think Microsoft is going to have a tough time is ensuring x86 compatibility as well as Rosetta does.

The short answer is to measure methane you rely on methane absorption features. To do that you need to be looking at a source through the methane plume, from a satellite this sourc…

From a user point of view Python packaging has probably never been better, but it is still a huge mess from anyone having to maintain these projects which might explain some of the…

A lot of package managers that distribute binaries (e.g. conda-forge) rely on CentOS 7 because of the relatively old glibc version available, I wonder what all of these projects ar…

Base Fortran has a lot of advantages for scientific programming over other languages, but I think there are two factors that are contributing to it's unpopularity: 1. Models are in…

I was starting to get wrist pain in my right hand at the end of the day. I believed it was from never learning to type properly, I only used two fingers on my right hand even thoug…

It does seem odd they would want to set up a lab in close proximity to what they wanted to study

I have found that there can be huge quality differences between cheap and more expensive LED bulbs as well. Specifically the ones that use a cheap rectifier. Sometimes I think that…

It would be interesting to see some example questions and answers. Since the test is multiple choice is it possible that the model has gotten very good at estimating how likely a p…

Annualized over the last 6 months inflation is now under the 2% target. I would be surprised if we see anything more than a quarter-point at the next meeting.

Sulfur dioxide in the troposphere isn’t very long lived and won’t make it to the stratosphere where it actually has a surface cooling effect. Even small volcanos have very little i…

The vast majority of existing wiring is cat5e which 2.5gb is the max speed

While not a completely open experience, Microsoft does let you do a lot more on the newer consoles, e.g. https://www.howtogeek.com/703443/how-to-put-your-xbox-series...
