That is something I observed too: When you build a tool (physical or software) or an API (web or library) it should be easy to use. The easier it is to use the higher the probabili…

I, as an engineer, shall work for a mission and not (so much) for money. But as soon as the mission can possibly be completed without me using the latest shiny AI tool, it is okay …

Yes, it is a good fit when a customer is supposed to use some functionality one has implemented but shall not see the implementation.

In cases where I assume that enough test coverage exists, I simplify code that I am currently working on or which I need to read very often. This way I have already replaced a lot …

A tool to record exact quotes of politicians with hashes and permalink - starting with the German far-right party AfD.

Interesting, thanks!

I suspect with "orthogonalization" they mean to find vectors that form an orthogonal bases (same subspace) for the vectors in the source matrix. I wonder what would be the result i…

Can't a system be DDoS'ed with wrongly signed JWTs as well? Is signature checking (much) cheaper than finding an opaque session ID in a database?

The Cramér-Rao bound (CRB) is a fundamental bound in estimation theory. "Estimation" refers here to finding the parameters of a random process. The CRB shows that for estimators (a…

In PowerPoint, I am a happy user of IguanaTex [1]. There are also some other PlugIns like TeXsword. But I have not tested them. And newer MS Office versions seem to support Latex m…

Electromagnetic waves can exist in vacuum. No (conductive) air is required.

Agree. I am using type hints in Python as much as possible for my hand-coding. And it catches a lot of bugs (especially during code refactoring) that I would not have noticed so ea…

If you define frequency as the derivative of the phase with respect to time, then you also have an instantaneous frequency which (at least formally) also has Hz as unit - even thou…

Yeah, that is really something that bothers me from time to time. For instance, in communications we count symbols per second and people still use the unit Hz. But, as it was said …

If one needs to describe (and maybe compress) functions or data on a sphere, spherical harmonics are really a thing. An alternative would be to construct a new function (or matrix)…

I was thinking of X11 as well, but did not feel old - until I read your text. ;)

The "zero copy substring" in C is in general not a valid C string since it is not guaranteed to be zero-terminated. For both languages one could define a string view as a struct wi…

Because you may have fun working in a scientific environment and doing research. I liked my job at the university - independent of the final PhD. I enjoyed what I was doing. Most o…

I did my PhD with Octave. Sure, I did not have this nice convex optimization toolbox. But I had everything else I needed and did not need to wait because people arrived earlier in …

What about poor people that live in areas in the world that will become completely uninhabitable?
