“Boeing 737 Max: What went wrong?” (BBC) contains a plot showing the angle of attack data being fed to Boeing’s MCAS software. Less than one minute into the flight, the left sensor spikes to an absurd roughly 70-degree angle of attack. Given the weight of an airliner, the abruptness of the cha…
Philip Greenspun makes it sound simple, after the damage has been done. The trick is to figure this out before there is an accident.

Read: Introducing the Bootstrap Starter Kit
A great way to start using Bootstrap, another thing to add to my list of things to try…

Read: Thoughts on open notebooks, research, and social media
Chris AldrichI remember thinking over a decade ago how valuable it would be if researchers kept open notebooks (aka digital commonplace books) like the one Kimberly Hirsh outlines in her article Dissertating in the Open: Keeping a Public Research Notebook.

What started as a simple Email Friday Newsletter topic, transformed into what you see here; far too long for an email. “Knowledge Processing.” Or PKM. PKM = Personal Knowledge Management. PKM is a systems approach to dealing with the …
A terrific example of this method (via the Zettlekasten blog), I want to explore this sometime!
