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 was nearly blinded by the bright light, but manag

"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 basics, I think. And it's extremely

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 day when making notes

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 (where you can neglect higher-order collisions; this can be

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, not before."

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-ups (mostly out of curiosity; but it's

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 person on the vocalists' list who
