Wow! One moment it was grey and overcast outside; the next there was a fierce wind and rain suddenly pummeling us! When a front shows up, it really shows up! -

Since it is cloudy in Dallas today, we will all have to enjoy the Transit of Mercury from a live stream. On the bright side, today we are all real astronomers: we spent months waiting for our moment, only to be disappointed by clouds! https://mercurytransit.gsfc.nasa.gov/2019/ -

From github https://twitter.com/github on Twitter: Python took the silver from Java this year, becoming the #2 most popular programming language on GitHub by repository contributors. C# and Shell climbed the list, too.

"Fleeting moments of recognizable seasons" Fall in Texas is beautiful, but fleeting. This fall has been sandwiched between two freezes, the next one about to begin tonight. It is hard to recognize seasons any more, in the long sunrise of climate change. But there are still fleeting moments of a recognizable autumn. https://steve.cooleysekula.net/blog/2019/11/10/fleeting-moments-of-recognizable-seasons/ ( Feed URL: http://steve.cooleysekula.net/blog/feed/ ) -

Though I realize Im a minority here and even I admit that Ive moved to Markdown KaTeX for most of my presentations now. https://twitter.com/choldgraf/status/1193316305211973633 -

There is something deeply satisfying about writing a quantum finite square well solver for the Schroedinger Wave Equation for the first time in ones life. I wish, in college, someone in a position of auhority had just turned to me and said, It is ok to use a computer. -

From FlipTanedo http://status.hackerposse.com/url/17845 on Twitter: Drop a proton and neutron. The p is an accelerated charge: it radiates, and thus falls more slowly than the n. However, relativity says this scenario should be equal to two stationary charges in an accelerated frame (no radiation). What gives? Solution: http://status.hackerposse.com/url/19264 http://statu… -
