Not too much to add from what others have mentioned but this looks like a good (low cost wide fov) photon bucket with low complexity (important for reducing stray/scattered light).
Turns out folks are solving PDEs in excel: https://sie.scholasticahq.com/article/4654-spreadsheet-imple... (i knew about FFTs and special functions , but this looks fun/interesting)
In calibrating satellites getting folks like you to go out with sensors on the ground to send back well vetted data is an expensive and limiting factor. Much cheaper (and often preferred) to do as much as possible from…
That's cool to see, I remember in high school the ROTC came to track practice to get people to come out for orienteering meets. Turned out to be a fun/useful experience.
> they need constant Q&A Wants daily 20-30 minute stand-up/tag-up Constantly bombards DMs since understanding is weak/research skills are poor Pull engineers into fringe meetings "Just in case" (can't multi-task since…
Yep, a lot of places allow for 80hrs/2wks of "training". Crazy how popular those Agile/SAFE/AWS/Azure/etc. conferences are in a destination location, meanwhile engineers asking to have time prorated for some graduate…
Several people from my high school went to Deep Springs. They were all incredibly bright, high potential students but definitely wanted "different". The ones I knew went on to UChicago, MIT, and (I think?) Harvard after…
Weightlifting is interesting, "most" elites have really good technique (tempo, maintaining angles throughout the pull, bottom position, lockout, etc.) indicating some level of mastery from years of practice. But I think…
Control theory doesn't come up much in what I do but as a practitioner are Root Locus ever utilized? I've been unpleasantly surprised to see that exact positive feedback instance existing in places you wouldn't want…
Not sure what the exact context the blog refers to (they are a scientist turned software engineer?, their field is data/software intensive and see this as an improvement area?). Our team does engineering test and…
For the interested reader: https://cdrsalamander.substack.com/ (The Good Commander has dedicated himself to exposing problems of this sort that plague our Navy) I had the pleasure of spending part of my service trying…
I agree with having shared team documentation but this has always been gray for me. My notebook ( and my softcopy log for the week) are incredibly raw (one-lines through mistakes, my personal commentary/snark, "napkin…
Sounds like a good project to me (we did this for a couple of labs in an undergraduate [sophomore maybe junior year] control systems class). The "inverted pendulum" problem and its subsequent derivations should be a…
Right?!? Plenty of highly intelligent athletes exist (countless examples from President Ford to Dr. John Urschel) but football helping them sit in the oval office or on the MIT Faculty probably had nothing to do with a…
Agreed, in image processing the time-domain representation doesn't always carry significance when spatial extent is pertinent
I think these engineering marvels whose FWHM (sorry I'm a bit rusty on what the right parameter for light gathering ability in this application) will be leaps ahead of current instrumentation is important. But have the…
Yeah this article should be more forthright in describing meta-materials/left handed media. This media is highly dispersive and described by changes in constituent properties (permittivity, permeability) usually…
Please enjoy this upvote, nice to see the full forest of application from struggling with something like LU decomps by hand
It may not be that "only SMEs can work" but that "SMEs don't have 5 tickets this sprint but 3 high level deliveries over the next quarter" thus they are allowed work uninterrupted from the daily churn and focus…
That's really cool, astropy is well baked into our python codebase but may need to experiment more with Skyfield since it's coordinate transformations and timing and positions functionality look good.
In my military officer training, routine boxing/wrestling/fighting was included to give people a "taste of getting hit in the mouth". It was also super effective for solving disputes. I remember having some trivial…
As a flight attrite who ended up running a division on something grey, the Navy knocked me down more pegs than I was thought possible. Appreciate the forced opportunities to grow, but there's got to to be some better…
Scored a brother MFC-7340 from someone giving it away. Think it was 10 yrs old when we got it a couple years ago, it does a wonderful job.
Yes! I have a exercise bike in my garage that is mechanically sound but with a terrible monitor, would love to have it come up to the level of Concept2 machines.
Yep, stand-ups and retros literally feel like presenting my homework and saying what I've "learned" today most of the time. I've found myself as the ic that must speak and present on behalf of the group and this is all…
