WiFi Halow is a longer range protocol (still probably not long enough). But something like this can get people connected: https://openmanet.net

Heh, this would have been super helpful last summer as were nearing completion on the construction of our new home. We have an elliptical arch in our front portico that the carpent…

Machine Learning Mastery ( https://machinelearningmastery.com ) provides code examples for many of the popular models. For me, seeing and writing code has been helpful in understan…

Highly unlikely. 802.11x lives in the 2.4GHz and 5.8GHz ranges which are outside of the stated range of the tinySA mentioned in the article. Occasionally radios will work outside o…

Same. 8-o

I recognize urine mycotoxin tests are potentially controversial, but these tests were very diagnostically significant for us and our mold journey. The mycotoxins that were off the …

You need to find a functional health practitioner, and be willing to try many different practitioners. It took us several tries to find a practitioner who was willing to test for m…

I don't know of anything, but will buy if one exists. Closest thing that is out there are Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) detectors, some of the expensive ones detect particles as small a…

If you are concerned about mold being a cause, there are couple of urine tests for mycotoxins that were super helpful for us understanding the mysterious illness in our family.

This! One of the best solutions to prevent mold is to improve energy efficiency. There are an increasing number of grant programs and Housing improvement initiatives available, but…

I know, seems crazy from the outside looking in, but nothing was particularly outrageously priced (and we did get several estimates from all sorts of people). To be fair, it wasn't…

> Afaik mold is only a big topic because of lawyers seeing a nice liability and the media a spooky story. Unfortunately, mold is also a growing health concern for a sizable portion…

I have a Ph.D. and am not in academia. The higher degree opens up opportunities for challenging positions, but you will probably need to show basic SWE capabilities also

I agree completely with this SWEs who understand data are extremely valuable. It sounds like you have enough hobby experience combined with your current work to get a SWE position.…

I use Notable[1] and SparkleShare[2] to automatically sync notes with git. [1] https://notable.app [2] https://www.sparkleshare.org

Fastmail +1 . I have had an active Fastmail account for at least 20 years. It provides the perfect amount of features for me, without the creepiness.

I have a Dygma Raise. Love that it is split with a normal (not ortholinear) layout. Still getting used to the layers. https://dygma.com

I'm not a mathematician, but I found Spivak's book on the linked page to be very accessible. They've started a company as well. https://conexus.com/

I have always enjoyed this light-hearted "formal" analysis of the hardest languages https://people.cs.umass.edu/~rsnbrg/hardest.pdf

This was exactly my experience as well. I needed an non-JVM streaming platform. Differential Dataflow seemed like a possible fit, but I wasn't able to unlock the magic. Most likely…

Causal inference is only helpful is fields where an intervention is needed (like social science, medicine, etc.), which limits its applicability somewhat. Sure, ML is only correlat…

You may want to consider testing your apartment for endotoxins (or just moving if possible). Endotoxins come from the cell walls of gram-negative bacteria for which the most common…

Wow, yes. All of that. That is basically our story.

No, the symptoms haven't gone away yet, but we are improving. We moved out of our house 6 months ago. Other folks we talked to that have dealt with mold have taken 1 year or more t…
