No roof overhangs really points towards using standing seam metal over rainscreen as siding. You might arrive at using standing seam metal siding for other reasons, simple longevity

Background: as advanced algorithms become more common and useful, that’s “AI”, there is the constant background fear being discussed, of skynet and terminator style AI robots destroying all. The truth is less exciting: killer robots require lots of very expensive sensors and compute capability. Their programming tends to be much more brittle and slower to

In a moment of sheer evil madness, while eating a more sophisticated potato soup, my mind came up with the idea of a ‘Hawaiian’ style soup. Hawaiian in the sense of the the pizza, which this tastes similar to, named because of the pineapple and with no relation to real Hawaiian culture. I was unable

If you have no idea what AVX-2 and AVX-512 are, they are names for instruction sets, a combination of CPU design and language that help execute, in this case, math. AVX512 is a newer 512-bit instruction set promising faster performance. Since data science can sometimes be rather slow, faster math sounds very promising. Overall, the

Strength and honor! I have chanted this to myself tens of thousands of times over the years, day after day. It is a rallying cry, a reminder never to stop. To hold the line, no matter the cost. I share with you now the single great secret to success that I have learned, and seen
