Have been writing all my numerical code in Julia for the last 1.5 years, haven’t run into any issues at all. Actively use things like Trixi.jl (CFD framework), Jump/IPOPT/PRIMA for…

Steve Wozniak’s startup that has been working on mapping the stuff that’s out there in orbit: https://www.space.com/amp/steve-wozniak-privateer-hundreds-s...

If anyone wants to read about EP in (a lot) more detail, here’s a great overview article: https://aip.scitation.org/doi/full/10.1063/5.0010134

Also a good overview (albeit, less detailed): https://medium.com/artists-and-machine-intelligence/neural-n...

Had a "run-in" with lightning a few years ago: while walking to the grocery store with an umbrella, heard what sounded like an explosion (my ears rang for the rest of that day) and…

"Computational Fluid Dynamics" by Ferziger and Peric. I'm in an area related to hydrodynamics, and while I don't do CFD myself, this book was easy to read and covers a lot of the b…

Random note: When I was in the 5th grade, our math teacher taught us the meaning of Nota Bene, and used a NB sign to mark important notes when deriving formulas. Still use to this …

Some thoughts: expansion-in-series-based methods (including Hilbert's, which is not used in practice) and the Chapman-Enskog method work only for moderately rarefied gas flows (whe…

I remember seeing a few threads here on HN and elsewhere encouraging users to show their abandoned ideas and projects. Perhaps a website for listing such projects would be useful (…

Here's a write-up about a Neural Net which was used to win a Kaggle image classification challenge, they did a lot of transformations on the input data to a) prevent overfitting b)…

I think I read this somewhere here a few months ago (paraphrasing, obviously): "When the indices for your DB don't fit into a single machines RAM, then you're dealing with Big Data…

While I've never used PVS-Studio (since I rarely do C/C++ development, and when I do, it's simple numeric things, and mostly not for Windows anyway), but I always enjoy their write…

1. Read more books (now that I have a Kindle, shouldn't be a problem) 2. Visit Shanghai 3. Start my work for ESA (European Space Agency) 4. Launch a couple of projects I've been wo…

Except that in 3 years I haven't encountered/read a single "sane" opposition figure's opinion who would consider Navalny a sock puppet.

Actually, Microsoft is now worth more than the entire Russian stock market, too.

Tropic of Capricorn by Henry Miller. To be honest, I re-read it, but it had a much more significant impact the second time (I originally considered it to be weaker than "Black Spri…

Same, FF 35.0a2 on OS X 10.9.

Rackspace OnMetal? http://www.rackspace.com/cloud/servers/onmetal/ I remember reading some not-so-nice things about Rackspace downtime recently though.

JIRA? Anything more general-purpose (like Mavenlink)?

Also the search results are never based on your previous search history - so no "search bubble" (I think it's called that). Everyone gets the same results.

This looks pretty cool, actually. Though the search seems broken (tested it by inputting "Minogue" into "sounds like", it came up with nothing, even though there's at least one per…

What's with ditching the 32GB options?
