I just spent a fair bit of time on this question last week and here is my new setup. (Previously I used a mixture of mendeley with goodnotes and an Ipad pro with apple pencil). Currently what I have moved to is using zotero on the desktop a

I disagree. Yes most of what each person says will not apply in any given case, but discussions like this where everyone is just kind of throwing it at the wall can be useful to try and pick out large trends. Plus as people discuss specific

While there are some very real issues at Hanford, the issue this week has been vastly blown out of proportion in the media (I work fairly near to the the location). There is a massive amount of work that has gone into detection of any kind

I think it may depend a lot upon the candidate. I personally feel like I make a pretty good salary, and with many jobs I would otherwise consider applying to, I don't feel like it's worth the time to go through the interview proce

If you google matplotlib viridis there is a discussion of the issue. Using perceptually uniform colormaps(not to mention ones that translate to gray scale correctly) is normally the correct thing to do, but not always. Sometimes you want to

Really? I was there for a month working and found that most people spoke flawless english.

Usually my thought process goes something like: "Hmm, that's weird, why doesn't this work" "Oh..duh" "...okay nope that wasn't it. " ...googling "Ahh that should fix it" "F!&amp

I'm really not sure. I mostly just keep up with terrestrial weather.

This is interesting, but not as groundbreaking as they make it out to be. People are already using GPS signals to calculate things like available liquid water. For instance, see http://www.suominet.ucar.edu/ . One of the ma

Maybe not the most sophisticated of pages, but sometimes it is good to get a brief reminder of what might be asked, especially for those of us that are not considered senior yet.

There are two possible scenarios here. Either you are above him on the organizational chart, in which case you probably have the authority to let him go. More likely(As you're not sure what his contributions are), you are lateral to hi

I'm not sure why this is not getting any comments, but it would be nice if the list had a little more curation(General topics, quality, etc).

Check out northern Colorado. Between Denver, Fort Collins, and Boulder there is a fair bit of tech, cost of living is decently low(outside of Boulder), and you can live right next to a national forest.

I thought this was interesting, figured maybe HN would want to see it if it hadn't already done so before.

I doubt it. You'd have to know the update strategy, as well as the key. Theoretically it's impossible to get the secret out of the device(though in actuality, I doubt that is true).

The M.S. does, but as stories like this become more common, non-namebrand MS programs will start to lose some luster. Being able to point to a publication, or a project you run, or something genuinely useful to at least someone, goes a long

Also the me should be an I, and listed after the others. Though to be honest, most people make the same mistake. Your English is at the level where you can pass off as a native from an English speaking country so I would not worry too much.

I'd say if you can do it in two years, including deficiency courses, and without publishing, you're probably not getting your moneys worth and yes it will be looked down upon. Three years(take a lot of courses) and/or a publication or two w

It's not that we don't have a facebook account, but rather that we don't want to have another app tangled in with all of our facebook data.

I was middle class(maybe lower middle class), and my entire education end up paid for. Not only that, but after work study, I actually made enough money to live on without having to get an outside job. Students taking out these huge loans s

My (Terminal at that institution) masters was paid for completely, as well as being paid a salary. In STEM fields I'm not sure I know anyone who didn't have their MS paid for. Sure, some professors will push you to get a Ph.D. but you alway

Some stores do a better job of this than others. REI in particular has usually been amazing. I went in last weekend for a shirt, and saw that packs are on sale. The salesman there fitted me for a pack, recommended a cheaper one than I was g

It's likely a combination of both. A quick way to discern would be to look at velocity, zdr, and rhohv. For ground clutter and returns caused by the inversion, you will expect to see very low velocities(close to 0) relative to the backgroun

You might find http://www.chill.colostate.edu/w/Non-precipitation_echoes:_i... to be interesting. It shows some of the dual-pol stuff on insects.

by josephhardin 13y ago
Well it's very impressive that you got that performance without using any dual-pol parameters. Abstract submission for the AMS radar conference is next week, and I'm sure they'd be interested in this. http://www.ametsoc.org/MEET/fainst/20

Also I didn't see it mentioned, but are you pulling in level 2 or level 3 data?

by josephhardin 13y ago
This is neat, though there are far better methods for doing this type of thing. Now that the Nexrads are dual-pol, you can look at the correlation between the horizontal and the vertical polarizations to filter out the vast majority of the
