Allez!

A wealth of knowledge here, especially helpful for wheelbuilding and checking the compatibility of archaic sizing systems. Lennard Zinn is another great reference in bike maintenance: https://lennardzinn.substack.com/

Haha, thanks for sharing. Really enjoyed how you captured the essence of Freak on a Leash.

For the interested, real-time data from the ongoing aircraft reconnaissance into (now) Hurricane Ida can be seen at https://www.tropicaltidbits.com/recon

Windy doesn’t make forecasts, rather it visualizes output from forecast models.

It's worth mentioning here that heatwaves are the leading cause of weather-related death in the US for the past 30 years.

I'm not advocating for the personification of all extreme weather events, but the lethality of heatwaves is often overlooked.

Don't forget the oud!

Give eBird [0] a try, also from the Cornell Lab of Ornithology.

Umberto Eco as well, who wrote a book on the topic: https://mitpress.mit.edu/books/how-write-thesis

The article rightfully mentions Dickey Kerr as a hero of the series by winning two complete game starts.

Curiously, Shoeless Joe Jackson set a World Series hit record that was unbroken until 1964 and had the highest series batting average of either team. He also hit the only home run of the 1919 World Series.

Agreed, this has repeatedly been one of the biggest failings in communicating the reality of anthropogenic climate change.

Climate change is not a single event, nor a cluster of events, that occur(s) over a summer. Strong hurricanes have occurred well before Dorian [1]. So have heat waves [2].

Extreme weather happens. The change in the frequency of (some) extreme events can be attributed to anthropogenic climate change, but a single event cannot.

I'm the same way with scp, I never remember the order and then it changes if you're uploading or downloading.

Also, an obligatory xkcd: https://xkcd.com/1168/

I had a lot of fun with this.

I surprised myself by remembering some symbols I haven't used in a while but was stumped on a few I should have known (nth roots).

Thankfully typesetting here meant math formulas, not minipage layouts.

Who is the author of this blog? My searching hasn't been able to turn up a name.

Rather than try and set up MADIS, look into something like the siphon [0] Python module.

MADIS is a bit dated, data dissemination that uses OPeNDAP [1] and ERDDAP [2] is much friendlier.

For hurricane forecasts issued by the NHC, you can see the official error statistics here [0]. Note that 96 and 120-hour forecasts were so poor prior to year 2003 that they were not issued.

Note these error statistics do not represent true model error as the official track and intensity forecast -- while informed by model output -- are determined by human forecasters.

What Singer book was it that you read?

What are the best ways, if any, to test for the convergence (or pseudo-convergence) of the Markov chain to the equilibrium distribution?
