Berkeley, June 5, 2020 6:47 PM Under the civil unrest of the current times, which makes some sense, particularly I am grateful for the peaceful protests and the clear message. Whatever was the reason the cops came and decided to put George Floyd down, is wrong. The reason was an issue about a packet of […]
Todd Boekelheide [Though it has little to do with him, but the good film at the end of the post. I would rather have called this post “Salad of Thoughts”]
Berkeley, Thursday, June 4, 2020, 10:48 PM I do not know about the origin of last names, but some got very difficult ones. Of course is not their foul, and changing the last name, just by changing would be a shame. Anyways, this post is not about last names, but I hope I typed correctly, […]
The Periodic Table by Nobel Laureate Peter Agre
Berkeley, Monday, June 1, 2020 3:50 PM Following up with prior post, which I am sharing because I consulted over the weekend. Here, another great hit. This one is about chemistry, which if I compare with prior one, I must pay more efforts on memorizing this lyrics. Chemistry has never been my stronger arm. So, […]
A bit of Groundwater: Darcy’s Law [with rhythm and flow!]
Berkeley, Monday, June 1, 2020 2:48 PM Darcy’s Law, named after the French Great Scientist Henry Darcy (1856) [2] has been so far a unique contribution to describe very well the hydraulic gradients, and so to describe groundwater flow. I will let Professor Neupauer to explain it to you with rhythm and flow. It really […]
Pascal’s triangle
Berkeley, Sunday, May 31, 2020 9:13 PM The genius of Pascal is that interesting that I continue discovering about him, not by reading about him, not for searching about his works for learning about him, but for learning about his applied works by applying them, and then learning that he either wrote or invented them. […]
Keeping close track in analytical process. I mean analysis is in the brain not necessarily just in the computer
Berkeley, Sunday, May 31, 2020, 12:41 AM I spent about a day checking the usage of computer through history. Even more, if I count for my self-taught history of computer programming. I cannot invest such as amount of time outside of my duties, but the purpose was to find purpose, meaning, deeper understanding of usage […]
Douglas Engelbart
Berkeley, Saturday, May 30, 2020 3:14 AM Reporting procrastination, which is not good, but I learned something interesting. Here for the records an interesting radio episode, by 99% invisible, about Douglas Engelbart, and his vision and intellectual thought of the usage of communication systems and computers. The episode name is “Of Mice And Men”. It […]
Math Museum
Berkeley, Saturday, May 29, 2020 00:11 AM There is this great thing of Professor Tim Berners-Lee’s World Wide Web (www) invention that is the sharing of good information. I found this excellent page about a museum of math history, or rather about great contributors to math through history. Here is the link for my further […]
Tracking
Berkeley, Friday, May 29, 2020 9:00 PM The full display of tracing processes is not just calculating them. I am grateful with all the pioneers who have developed metrics.
Which one?
Berkeley, Friday, May 29, 2020 5:22 PM It [C]ms that C++ got an A+ as the next generation of his pioneers PASCAL, Fortran, and others, which are not BASIC languages (1). All seem somehow complicated. Now, we have [Python]s, ANACONDAs, Pandas, and who knows what else. It seems that JULIA is missing her [R]omeo. I […]
