I saw a live demo of this recently and it was very impressive. It is very difficult to search the govt knowledge base because sources are in so many formats, different location, and have different hoops to gain access not to mention code wo

I still have a Tandy2000. I learned to code on it as a kid. I still boot it up every now and again to play some King's Quest.

I see other people on here say this but I think it is so important that it can be said again. WRITE, WRITE, WRITE! As you read and learn I think it is so important to write. I suggest a mixture of notes, journal entries, and short essays.

Congrats on the launch! How do you prevent this from turning into another FB? Is there a difference between using this and using FB where you have all of your posts / activity only viewable with your friends? I guess one obvious differ

I really agree with your comments; especially number 1. Often I can't use some black box implementation of an solver (or other algorithm for that matter) without some modifications. Numerical stability is a big one but also just perfor

I had an issue with my pixel and had to send it in. The phone got ran over by a car and was smashed. It could be turned on but I could not do a factory reset. I have financial and other private information on it. So the first thing I did

I was never a big social media person. But back in 2012 I totally went off of social media all together. It happened because I was in grad school and my girlfriend at the time had lots of anxiety issues. Her doctor recommended that she dele

Good question. Also consider that most of the threats to GPS are ground based jamming. It is fairly easy and cheap to make a jammer out of hobbyist parts and knock out a large area of GPS coverage. However, just because someone jams GPS f

SpaceX will (and does) have good coverage but the accuracy will not be to anywhere what people have come to expect from GPS. At least not without major design changes to focus on this as a product from SpaceX.

I agree. We only do on the order of 20 to 50 a day but only a few times a year. Having something like this would help a lot. Not that it can't be done on a computer but when in a rush and perhaps traveling or in the field having a on

Wonder if this will go under Intel Federal since GlobalFoundries is the only US foundry able to do some DoD work.

Sorry, I did not mean to imply that the only value that the creators had was making a nice UI. I truly meant it as a compliment. There is hard work involved in creating a product out of an idea. Seems like this will be a very useful produ

The idea seems simple enough and the math to do these kinds of predictions is fairly straight forward unless there is some secret sauce under the hood that isn't obvious. I guess the value is slick UI / tool that was created aroun

Usually Digital Twin = Model = Simulation. Different industries have different words for it. Some call a difference between a Digital Twin / Model and a Simulation where the simulation is the result of some external input being applied

Thanks for the feedback! Seems like you and I both have had a bit of experience being first engineering hires at startups but have had very different experiences when it comes to rolls or a data scientist. I appreciate that.

My view is from a small startup with little to no room for single purpose employees. When I first started hiring and working with data scientist my view was this: If you can only manipulate data and run it through pipelines to generate mode

Thanks for the solid article! Reminds me about some bash writing that I have been avoiding.

I generate invoices using FreshBooks for years. However, I don't use many of the features so I eventually just started to create my own using a word template. Nothing fancy but gets the job done.

I do agree with you on publishing seeds for Monte Carlo simulations however the argument against it is also very strong. Usually when you run a monte carlo simulation you are quoting the results in terms of statistics. I think it would be s

This will probably be when I stop using my Oculus. When I first got my Rift I was super excited about the technology and it generally did not disappoint! I have never been much of a gamer but love the idea of VR. I, however, deleted my face
