I believe everyone is convinced you’re babbling at this point and Mosher is no exception. Is it possible for you to go an hour without channeling Harry Nyquist? I can hear him spinning in his grave 350 miles south of me in Harlington, TX on the Mexican border.

Blame me when you find yourself in moderation shortly after Curry wakes up. She isn’t going to appreciate your dumb ass ruining Loelhe’s thread. Who the phuck do you think you are?

So you the acid response as well?
I am a person who lives in a minutes to hours response world.
That’s how computing works.
It’s slightly more than the Academic ‘pin something on the notice board and come back tomorrow or next week and see what was said’ view that you seem to have.
We left the world of message boards behind us long ago.
Try spending more time with your students. They would understand far better.

Flynn, I don’t accept a molten young earth as a fact. It’s a modeled conjecture. Exactly how stupid are you that I’ve repeated this several times and it hasn’t sunk in yet?

So you are in the zero column as well?

Richard, I currently program in C# also. I was referring to C.
I’ve played around with R also. Arcane, but interesting.

P.S. Lucia seems to have no problems with me. I’ll wait to see if this host feels the same.

I’m an R&D engineer (hardware/firmware/software) who worked for Intel, Microsoft, and then Dell for 25 years. I retired 15 years ago. I can run circles around you in computer science without breaking a sweat and likely have about 30 IQ points on you. Imagine that.

Hmm. OK so I’ll brag a little as well. See https://climatedatablog.wordpress.com/2015/12/27/turing-computers-and-what-you-probably-do-not-know/
for why I might have either been in competition with you or a colleague but before 2006 you would never have known.

And if you want a quick synopsis of the last 12 years of my career which I can talk about, I’m the tier 3/4 support of Sales guy in EMEA that you probably were talking to in a conference call when a multi-thread, multi-application, multi-computer systems you had in a mostly connected networking world wasn’t working and we were in a competitive bid against someone with a short deadline.

A bit OT, but C has more than its fair share of pitfalls.
One of the worst I’ve had is when changing one line of code made something seemingly unrelated fall over.
Turns out, someone had made a function return a pointer to a local char array. It didn’t cause any issues whatsoever until I made my single-line change in another part of the program, which then caused an overwrite of the part of the stack in which the local char array was stored, so it fell over spectacularly.
In embedded applications you need to pay particular attention to stuff like that.
Comment on Year in review – top science stories by Stephen Segrest
Planning Engineer Whoops! I didn’t see your post until now. I was gone before the CCS project (to ethanol ag & engineering).
Let me think fully about what you’ve written.
As an aside, unquestionably the biggest disappointment in my professional life has been with IGCC’s (coal and biomass). The technology has just not achieved the improved efficiency heat rate that is expected. I wonder if this same type of issue will present itself with supercritical power plants.
Perhaps I need to clarify what I experienced on the “balanced portfolio generation mix” point I brought up. I never saw this aspect directly reflected in our quantitative analysis.
The “balanced portfolio mix argument” has been used by many Electric Utility CFO’s on not becoming too dependent on natural gas (for base, intermediate, or peaking loads). The usual context of the comments is in testimony before Congress to support Federal incentives for nuclear, wind, and solar.
Of course, things like tax incentives are then reflected in our planning models.

Huh. I took Gen Chemistry I and II in college and had no problem with it. They were not the easiest courses but I don’t recall the dropout or failure rate being very high. The most surprising failure rate I observed was in Formal Logic 101 in my freshman year (1978). I got a perfect score on every test without much effort. Most of the class failed. I think the Boolean Algebra course the military put me through in 1975 helped a lot. I aced that too and set a record completion time in the self-paced program.

Trust me you were never in competition with me. Across the pond was a backwater in the hardware/OS world. Although I did help Bull (formerly Honeywell) in 1991 build a supercomputer for the currency trading room in the London office of the Bank of Paris. I was at a small company where I’d designed a single board diskless PC-compatible ethernet workstation. We put a few hundred of them in 19″ equipment racks in the back room linking them all together through their ethernet ports and when we were done it cost under $1 million and replaced a $10 million IBM mainframe that was servicing a few hundred floor traders. A fun project and I got a chance to spend a few weeks in London. I stayed in a private home that was built in the 1700’s and had a garage, formerly a stable, that was built in the 1600’s. The cobblestone road it was on was built circa 400 AD by the Romans. The owner of the home, my host, was a grandson of one of the founders of Rolls-Royce but I forget which one Charles Rolls or Henry Royce. He drove a Jaguar himself though. It was quite an experience. There was an ancient pub within crawling distance of the home built partially underground with ceilings so low I was almost bumping my head on them. People weren’t very tall a thousand years ago. I never tried driving in the UK myself. Driving on the wrong side of the road scares the bejesus out of me just thinking about it.

JCH:
So first, the Eastern Pacific warmed from 1974 to 1985, as did the surface of the earth. Then, from 1985 to 2014, the trend in the Eastern Pacific changed direction and it cooled: a vast area of the surface working against AGW for ~18 years.
Are you refuting Karl’s pause-buster paper? Or are the relative balances in energy/forcing coincidentally scaled to produce exactly no change in trends over your selected periods?
…the central estimate for the rate of warming during the first 15 years of the 21st century is at least as great as the last half of the 20th century. These results do not support the notion of a “slowdown” in the increase of global surface temperature.

Thanks ZH. It will be interesting to see the possible TCR ranges from various AMO analyses.

OK. So still you press forward. What I can say is the Tutte is someone I studied very carefully. I based more than one insight on his work. You may or may not know who he is. Before 2006 you won’t have. Only since then.
A great UK thinker who you rely on more than imagine.
And why I feel fairly confident in my ability to find long and short patterns in noisy, fading, data. Been there, done that. That knowledge works in Climate Data as well.
Commercially, there is the story about how to undermine Fleet Street Print Unions from the inside. A working agreement with the NGA for a computer, never going to happen. Working alongside the father of laser photo-typesetting industry that started the laser printer revolution.
MSc (Dist) obtained when I got a year salary in hand when merger/speculation overtook that company and they needed to buy out my contract and I decided the letters might be useful commercially.
Commercial IP that is mostly in the ‘overtaken by events’ column of history, and ‘Commercial in confidence’ or OSA covers almost all I have done.
So opaque references are often what I use.
There are cases where I officially, publically or privately, cannot say if I agree or disagree with a point unless I can introduce it from someone else. Some times you just cannot give away knowledge.
Others things that might be relevant. Got ‘hidden IP’ in how to build a fault tolerant, scalable, GPU style parallel computer out of standard off the shelf PCs to match the costly super-computers that everybody else uses.
Might port that to the Pi and see how it works.
Got more ‘hidden IP’ in high speed local networking that almost certainly will help create high speed interconnected local computing clusters with very good external bandwidth.
Need I go on? That’s the quick version. Want more?
