Indeed. In the same vein, Jerome K. Jerome's "Three Men in a Boat" has made me laugh out loud more than a century after it was originally written. That said, Shakespeare's humor, a…

To be honest, if things have gone this sideways, "ps awwfux" are definitely some sounds that'll be coming out of my mouth, too.

Seaborn isn’t too bad. It’s basically a convenience wrapper over top of matplotlib.

It gets used a fair amount in the weather data space. Forecasting and climate reanalysis grids are typically large (gigabytes) N-dimensional arrays of float32 values and Blosc prov…

I am a hobbyist carpenter and woodworker. My current project is probably the last one I will ever do without a table saw with these kinds of safety features. I have already changed…

In all fairness, the person had obviously been awake for over 24 hours and was on their 1,001st cup of coffee. And since earlier in the summer I had crashed the entire ticket scann…

Occasionally people don't understand how to plug extension power cables together, either, especially during times of high stress and low sleep. Once upon a time, when I was in IT s…

Seconded! I recently built a large 50" x 90" work surface in my garage and used MDO sign board (another phenolic resin product, not much more expensive than MDF and available at ma…

Yes, there is. To negate, just use ! as with many other languages. if ! command …; then do_needed_things fi

The main problem with ERCOT's grid stability isn't that they are using a lot of renewables so much as it is that ERCOT isn't interconnected with other big power systems in Texas's …

If you're looking for something turn-keyish, you might be able to get some help with this from one or more of the big players in the renewable energy analysis and forecasting space…

I'll second that. I work in the renewable energy space where we get all manner of atmospheric and power data in a wide variety of units depending on the data source, so Pint is inc…

Oh cool, I hadn't heard of E-skip as a phenomenon before! Thanks for that info, it's really interesting.

VHF (FM radio in the US is in the VHF band) propagation can definitely change at different times of day. One of my favorite activities in the summer is to go get lost in the Cascad…

Persistence and linear regression are very common methods used to extend forecasts out in computationally cheap ways. Most forecast models have really awful validation statistics a…

If you fell down this rabbit hole, beware the High Voltage SID Collection[1], or you might never come up for air! [1] https://www.hvsc.c64.org/

At least until you heard the click of death, that is!

One example that's bitten me is that working with large integers is fraught with peril. If you can't be sure that your integer values can be exactly represented in an IEEE 754 doub…

I love the alpine butterfly. It also helps improve the security and strength of a trucker's hitch compared to the usual slipped overhand knot loop which can be handy occasionally w…

The closest thing I've found to what you're asking for is "The Complete Book of Knots" by Geoffrey Budworth which is generally organized into sections related to typical activities…

You’d probably need to do this with an AC-DC-AC transformer to also get the circuit converted to the 50hz cycle European power systems use, but it’d just be a waste because of the …

If you're in the Apple ecosystem, subscribing and unsubscribing to several of these news sources, so long as you read them in Apple's News app, becomes a lot easier, though it can …

I'd be a little worried that I might be tempted to unconsciously order the values in some way which would bias the results. But you could build a box with four separate cells and a…

I haven’t seen Rime mentioned yet and you might check that out. It is a little bit of a puzzle game and a little bit of a walking simulator and has a surprisingly heart-wrenching s…

This is very true, and my saucier skills are poor, but once upon a time I swore by thin aluminum or copper cookware for making eggs--especially omelettes. A couple of years ago, we…
