Looks like an interesting book. I wonder why I saw no references to Donald Knuth in the bibliography. He is mentioned once in the text.

The proteins that exist today have developed into their present forms over the course of billions of years of natural evolution, passing through a vast evolutionary sieve.

My son went to Northeastern ('19) and now designs programming languages and can program skillfully in ANY language. I'm glad he went to Northeastern before this announced change. I feel my money spent at Northeastern was well wort

No, that is not true. I got treated for cancer two years ago (surgery and radiation), it was contained (not metastatic), I have twice since passed a Class 2 Medical. I talked to my Aeromedical Examiner, I talked with my treating doctors, th

I'm imagining someone in the US saying, "I've always wanted to go to Austria!", hopping on a plane, and arriving the next day.

I wonder if there's an accurate record (time series) of what got canceled when, why, in what order, along with an accurate starting state for the whole SWA system. Then, for Monday morning quarterbacking, modelers and scientists could

I just set up scsh again (64 bit macos). First re-installed scheme48, then re-installed scsh. Took 5 minutes. Now I have to re-learn scsh.

No, I'm not especially knowledgeable, not more than others here. As a pilot, I have 42 years of experience flying through weather and helping get the word out w/r/t hurricanes, e.g., relaying info via ham radio in the West In

From talking with meteorologists, it seems forecasting actual rain is not very hard if you have enough current data on the state of the atmosphere. What can be difficult is mistiness that is just on the borderline between falling droplets a

Thanks. I think the new app coming out next month has a better UX. As for comparison with the default Weather app, I think the underlying forecast is more accurate. [Note, I work not on the app, but in back-end data. I'm happy to forwa

I think you will like the new app coming out next month better, especially with your use case.

I like that Kirill Dubovikov built a weather station and showed others how. The more people who do this, the better, not just for education and skills, but in terms of gathering weather information that can help forecasters. He wrote, &quot

I had the opposite reaction. I thought Fridman was a very good interviewer. I've talked with Donald Knuth a half dozen times over the last thirty years. I really enjoyed this interview. Knuth seemed relaxed and to be having a good time

I also think the list is OK, not quite the list I would have picked, but close. But I'm puzzled how you would know it's a legit list if you have read none of the books?

In rural America, we have been importing doctors from other parts of the world because we don't have enough American doctors who want to serve outside the big cities and high-paid specialties.

This is one of my favorite books ever. I've read it in Russian and English. I have the DVDs of the TV series made in Russia about 10 years ago. Is there a Russian audiobook version anywhere?

I do value free stuff, but I also value you as an author. Happy to pay for my PDFs of your work.

If I'm writing code that uses regexs, it helps me if I write at least 1 test case along with a helper function to make using the regex easier for me. E.g., I did the following in Scala recently. Shown is just one of many regexs I use
