Not Squadrats, but I've checked out some others, like CityStrides. There were a few problems though:
- It felt like what I wanted to achieve is pretty simple (GPS coordinates -> display all on the same map), so didn't want to subscribe for a monthly fee. I couldn't actually find an app that would dump all my HealthKit data directly onto the map, which was surprising.
- Last year when I wrote my app, I wanted to see how fast I can learn simple mobile development loop
- Now, I couldn't really find anything that divides the coverage areas into real-world neighbourhoods. So, think of West Village of NYC, or Yorkville in Toronto, or Yoyogi in Shibuya and etc. Back when I used to live in Vancouver, I would look at my own app, and kinda say in my head "aight, I've walked through every street in West End, Vancouver". Figured it would be cool to have a proper way of tracking it. So working on it currently.
- It's kinda fun to work on an app for my own needs
I'll take a look at the squadrats though! Looks pretty cool.
I'm a doctoral student working in the direction of PDE's and function spaces. I have some colleagues that are using wavelets for numerics. They typically prove that certain wavelet bases are better suited for numerical approximation of certain types of problems. You can for instance think about if you have a signal mainly composed of square waves. Then it would be rather inefficient to decompose this signal in sines and cosines. For certain types of PDE's under certain type of geometrical restrictions, sometimes you can find a much better wavelet bases than just sines and cosines. My research is rather theoretical (so I don't do any numerics), so wavelets don't play a role for me.
I did my undergrad 10 years ago, and am essentially a hobbyist, myself currently working through Strang DE since I found Boyce uninstructive. The brief dialog on centered difference certainly raised my eyebrow, since Strang in an effort to more explicitly relate difference and differentials calls those out early, whereas the first time through the material I hadn't seen that interpretation until taking signals.
What kind of documents are you typing that you wouldn’t want to learn from your mistakes? If you apply more than a handful of “fixes” at once, you cannot see what changed, right? And you also don’t know if the sentences still make sense? Or am I missing something here?
Sounds so odd, right? I use it to apply fixes for transcription of YouTube videos. There, YouTube uses lower case for things without commas, caps, and periods. I use another tool called https://pinetools.com/remove-line-breaks to add those things. Overall, it provides a good output. I do have to monitor so that it doesn't mess some things. Some use cases have tighter deadlines, relatively easier and non-serious suggestions.
Regarding learning from mistakes, I vote that Grammarly definitely teaches us to write better.
Exactly. Flat owners can't privatize their gains while their socialized their costs.
If a factory pollutes, we agreed that it should pay for the damage and control it. Why it is so difficult to understand that we just want the externalities from Airbnb to be addressed?
I could see people using this symbol when proving for example that x = 0. Say they first show x \geq 0 and then x \leq 0. Then they've shown x ⪒ 0, and therefore x = 0. But yeah, a symbol like '⪒' for this purpose is maybe natural to write on a blackboard, maybe not so much in electronic form.
In academia people study stochastic versions of PDEs in order to try to answer regularity and existence questions. Think for example about the famous millennium problem of Navier-Stokes. Sometimes the stochastic viewpoint can even give more results about the non-stochastic setting.
I would argue against the statement that all 'truly high talented people' (whatever that may mean) will leave Europe because the salaries are too low. At least in Academia I know plenty of smart people happily working away in Europe. I suppose it may well be different outside of academia, but not every (smart/talented) person in the world has a high salary as their #1 priority. To me, and to many of my friends/acquaintances, quality of life is also extremely important. I would rather, in the long term, live in a economically and politically stable country with good public (health) services and receive mediocre payment, than to receive high payment but with poor quality of life.
You can get good quality of life in US even without a monstruous salary, and political situation is not really worse than what is happening in Europe...
