I have a hard time passing on the economist. Best reading out there that is condensed and to the point.
The FT is great but I’m a paper guy and the font got too small to enjoy it.
I did, as an exercise. Work kept me from sticking with it. I deeply regret not staying with it for physical fitness. Bummer too, my instructor became 9th Dan.
That was always my struggle w tidyverse vs base mastery.
From the looney tunes cartoon of the road runner vs the coyote, the coyote used tidyverse and the road runner used base R.
Oh! My first job out of college had me implementing PID control for a two axis rotary control tables. The design had counter weights (think dumbbell shaped). I was the dumbbell implementing this and as I was young, had almost 168 hrs a week to work on this.
OMG! I spent so much time trying to tune this and it would occasionally enter these oscillatory states back and forth. Unfortunately the device on the turntables cost about $500k….
It was such a painful experience.
I know you are joking on this one, as I was on mine. But with people being arrested for shining pet toy lasers at objects, best everyone stay clear of this one.
