@mala @Greg I suspect those struggling are most likely unprepared. I've been working remotely for 12 years and IMO the key things:

- A serious work setup. Not your kitchen table, a real "desk" of some kind.
- Working from home can't mean new simultaneous caretaking (be that kids or a family member with full time age / disability needs)
- Develop routines, be serious about them. Respect from household members for them too.
- Serious but respectful accountability structure

Note that this has a good chance of being a remote-friendly job.

How do you feel about a video transcript using mathematical notation, e.g. "∑ x²" instead of "the sum of x squared"?
My hunch is that the fact notation isn't always read strictly left-to-right would make following both the video and transcript harder.

Reading time with a good station that sometimes ends up in nap time... ;)

Does anybody have any experience with designing thermally stable HF filters (100's of MHz)? Any references appreciated :)

I know there are more important things in the world, but in case you happen to be thinking about getting a new smart phone, just know the apps on the Pixel 3a are garbage, so you'll have to install, for instance, a file browser that isn't garbage.

Can't imagine I'd ever need to build a well or water filtration system, but interesting nonetheless. If you watch, be sure to turn on captions for explanation of what they're doing.

Really cool site! www.quantummadesimple.com / toutestquantique.fr/en/
Has educational visualizations of nano-scale procedures and phenomena

It took me a while to realize that sometimes, listening carefully and answering questions (or better, making it unnecessary to ask them) is the most valuable thing a software engineer can do in a large organization, even more than designing software and writing code

anyone's got tips for running #Racket on lower-end machines? mostly wanna minimize memory usage while still having cool features, like DrRacket.

If anyone is interested in working on a super awesome #firmware analysis and manipulation toolkit - think like ffmpeg, but for firmware and with a GUI even - here are some bits to work on / contribute. Fame awaits! :-)

Is the Hamcrest missing a regular expression matcher or am I just the dummy who doesn't realize why it's not needed?
