I use parm rind (Parmigiano Reggiano rind) for a couple things. One is to make a parm broth for Fettuccine Alfredo. Another is when making a pomodoro sauce loaded with aromatics (garlic, red onion, fresh basil, etc). "Cheese buyers a

From 2010 through 2020, I was working as a mathematician, programmer, analyst, researcher full time on an odd schedule, Tuesday through Saturday. I was also working on a side hustle. I was doing fashion photography as a hobby, with the in

From the article: "The FAA is encouraging airlines to use bigger aircraft with fewer take-offs and landings." I worked in ATC R&D for many years. NY Tracon, N90, is crazy busy and very complicated. DCA handles lots of Regi

It is a sad, soulless world in which we live today. I went to an otherwise anonymous state college on the east coast in the latter 1970s. One of the fun things I remember was picking up lunch from McDonalds using my former roommate's

Take 10 minutes to model it and you'll find there is no benefit in changing. As a couple others have pointed out, it isn't the Monte Hall problem. Below I did two runs with a million cases. One envelope has 1 unit; the other has

For a bit of background, go to: https://x.company/projects/loon/ I was working on the Air Traffic Control side of unmanned free balloons in 2020, and Loon was an exciting project. While it's a shame it wasn

We had our first and only at 40. (My wife is two days younger than me.) I retired a year ago, and our daughter is approaching a quarter of a century old. That was a miracle in itself as she almost didn't make it past hour one. I lov

I worked with VRML in '96. It was fun and interesting. Our company even had a couple reps from SGI demonstrate it on an SGI O2 machine. The two companies at the time who were the main proponents were SGI and Sony, though SGI was cle

Here's what I did and/or do. 1. I constantly ask trusted friends and family members if I was blundering in social situations. I asked my wife this evening, when our daughter had her boyfriend over for dinner. I didn't blu

At my old company, Hadoop, JSON, Parquet were the solutions looking for a problem to solve. Yes we handled lots of data, but none of it was time critical. No matter, we had BIG DATA™. Bow when I say that. We weren't Google or Twitt

Actually, you're right. You made very good points here. I always assume other people are rational. While many are, many are not, and I often forget the latter. Thank you.

Fuck YouTube. If they're going to control what news I get, I'll choose other than YouTube. I do not need them. I have read from both hard left and hard right, and am intelligent enough to make my own decisions about what makes

Sigh I was in Australia when I read a piece from him on Desert Shield/Storm in an Aussie newspaper. I saved it. A few years later he was to sign books in DC, and I brought along the paper. He signed my book, and also signed the pa

My "to-do" list is a Freemind (and soon-to-be Freeplane) mind map. It's my calendar, my to-do-list, my project planner, my external brain. When I need to write something down, it goes to the mind map or a piece of paper whe

Here's a great FPV video from Portugal. Just saw it a month ago on YouTube. (If it doesn't play for you, search for "NAZARÉ x FPV DRONE CINEMATIC" on the channel "RED- FPV".) I was actually more hopeful that

On BVLOS, FAA Advisory Circular 107-2 §5.7 actually covers the allowance for brief moments when a drone is out of VLOS. It's one thing for a drone to be behind a tree for a few seconds, and another when a drone is so far away one cann

There is nothing like a whiteboard. I use paper and pencil and the Freemind mind mapper to capture and evolve ideas, but I have to have a whiteboard. When I was in the office, I had one behind me, and I used it all of the time. On Saturd

That's bullshit. The MAX aircraft are not the same as the earlier 737 line. These should be completely certified as new aircraft, and my guess is they would fail real certification. The required "design changes" are nothin

JFC, that's such bullshit. You want the mundane? Go for it. You actually want someone who can take a bunch of real operational data and solve the problem when the Person With The Money says, "We need to know what is actually ha

I just had fun crashing cars. 25 crashed with 1.8km travelled. I know it's not the point, but I don't care (nod to Icona Pop). I love it. I needed the laugh.

Can you say Vermel? VRML? That's Virtual Reality Markup Language. SGI was the champion of VRML, with Sony a somewhat distant second. It was really cool. Imagine 3D multi-media environments in a web browser. You could download 3D

I was looking at changing companies many years ago, from a large company to a small company. With the large company, I had lots of benefits that I would lose by going to the small company. Regardless, the small company was attractive. I
