Working with a data file like this (in Excel) is why data cleaning is often underappreciated.

Data science might be one of the most overrated science because literally no science can get away without data.

Finally get it working again. Hopefully it would be useful for ongoing C++ project development.

It still does not work well with @GitHub Copilot.

10 quick tips for making your software outlive your job!

The preprint for our paper is now up at arXiv: arxiv.org/abs/2505.06484

Hopefully it'll help people who are forced to leave. Still good advice for researchers, in general.

This seems to be a good approach to track manuscript review status. JOSS also has a GitHub based review process.

How about assigning elevation to hexagon vertices instead of center?

This semester I gave a couple of lectures to the graduate students in University of Houston on water science. I was astonished to find out that several students are very interested in #DGGS #DGGRID for hydrologic research. The Q&A session was filled with in-depth discussions.

It literally took us five years to acknowledge that we need a better mesh for #landsurfacemodel. Regional refinement mesh for #LSM can be both efficient and effective for many scientific discoveries and applications. #ESS #PIMeeting #DOE

DOGE Mandates Power Tool Manufacturers Use Single Battery Platform DOGE (the Department of Government Efficiency) has directed the DOE and EPA to mandate all manufacturers use a single power tool battery.

Just like USB C?
