Just got a automated speed enforcement warning issued by Chicago for the wrong license plate number! (Real value: O, they read D and matched to us). Wasn’t in Chicago on that day! Will we prevail in contesting it?

So it seems like #julialang sysimages have an implicit size limit of 2GB on amd64 systems. :( This arises because the maximum offset in the position independent code instructions is a signed 32bit integer. Bummer. gross details at: github.com/JuliaLang…

Trying to compile a #julialang sysimage with ~170 packages is … interesting! Still haven’t succeeded. Lots of writing bisection code to figure out which package is causing a failure.

In case anyone else would like the math about turkey prices that the New York Times thinks is too hard to understand.
I did a quick spot check but it could still be wrong.

In Science: Quantifying methane emissions from US Landfills by Cusworth et al.
It’s always surprising when you learn that obvious things aren’t being done, or at least aren’t standard. In this case, it’s using the best tools to measure how much methane is coming from landfills. In news that will shock no one, actually measuring this shows that it’s higher than “bottom up modeling” would suggest.
This is a fairly readable paper in Science. Kudos to the authors.
The team behind this paper is the carbon mapper team. The required methane emissions test is someone walking around with a flame ionization detector to find hotspots. The team behind this paper hired aircraft with higher resolution sensors that are designed to spot methane in the air through its impacts.
A key component of their findings relates to higher temporal frequency showing persistent emissions over time.
Anyway, look around the carbon mapper data to see where the methane is coming from nearby you! In our case, it’s from a few landfills. The team behind this is planning to launch a few satellites to improve the temporal resolution of the data (at the cost of reduced detection thresholds)

This is a bizarre result from Google.
Why is another search engine first? Why is the picture wrong on the second?
I wanted the kickstarted page.

I think I’m checking the eclipse weather too obsessively. Pivotal weather and windy are nice. Also capital weather gang on twitter. Some of the national weather service. Results for Indianapolis are looking better… nytimes has something, but will it update?
