As a parent of a kid that has special needs (at a minor level), there really is a separate set of skills needed to teach to these kids, as well as needing a better student teacher ratio. It made a huge difference for my…
Correct but the point is that the salaries of the developers are not treated as an expense to net out, they are treated as an asset that depreciates over some period of time. (Even though some "developer" work might be…
How the hell is Sour Cream and Onion not on there
- How do they take a business problem and model it into code - How do they debug their own code - Is their code easy to read - Do they name their variables/fields/methods/classes in easy to understand and consistent…
True but there has been a movement towards replicating these high profile findings in the soft sciences. Hopefully that will gain more traction as a lot of the "newsworthy" studies are forced to get retracted after…
Or... you could change it to something funnier, like "Pumpkin Body Butter"
My hot take: this is actually really good (and would be fantastic if all the big tech followed suit). Why? Imagine a world where big tech was cool with remote workers. They would be able to out-pay and acquire all the…
If you're talking about small scale phenomena (less than 1km), then this wouldn't help other than to be able to signal when the conditions are such that these phenomena are more likely to happen.
It's been a while since I was a grad student but I think the raw station/radiosonde data is interpolated into a grid format before it's put into the standard models.
One piece of context to note here is that models like ECMWF are used by forecasters as a tool to make predictions - they aren't taken as gospel, just another input. The global models tend to consistently miss in places…
I would think heavy metals would be a much bigger issue wrt water contamination from a health point of view. Not that the anaerobic sludge is great, but I would rather see a bigger push to recycle used electronics. As…
But the volume of compostable material is small compared to the overall trash volume, right? Aren't we talking about a negligible quantity relative to amount of effort and (potentially) negative sentiment amongst swing…
Maybe I'm missing something but I've never understood the point of composting. - It's a hassle. - You can buy good compost for very little at the hardware store that's produced at industrial scales - Landfill space is…
I wondered too, until I read the part about her being from Tacoma
Whatever, now we know your password is "Miffy.Biffy.Boffy"
I heard it can make your kids listen to jazz and hang out with black people!
Maybe. What sound did it make?
Giannis Antetokounmpo. He's been great for almost a decade and everybody still loves him. Growing up dirt poor for most of his life probably helps w/ being a great guy, though.
I think what he's trying to say is that a human has limited time to analyze variations, so they would typically analyze the "best" move for a given situation. But if you make a suboptimal move, then you are going down a…
It's not that much better than the normal network of AMS sensors. For one, it doesn't give you wind speeds at various levels (critical for predicting weather). Second, it doesn't give you any additional readings over…
Well it's not like we're gonna run out of undergraduates, just do the experiment again.
Yeah, that's why prop 13 passed in the first place... "Oh how am I going to retire if my property taxes keep going up on my small 2br apartment in the Castro?"
