Oct 10, 2015, 10:56 AM
Dave HirschIt was writing bit fiddling functions in my computer architecture/C programming course. Very limited choices, and to get the Perf(ormance) points, you had to use no more operators than a given limit. For example, bang() wanted us to calculate !x (where x is an int) using only |, &, ~, +, >>, and << operators, and to do it with no more than 12 of them. Some were really tricky.

I've seen a number of folks posting maps that show where people voted for Clinton vs. Trump. Most of these suffer from the problem that there are big areas of the country with few humans in them, and those areas voted for Trump, giving a map with vast swaths of red and small enclaves of blue. While those maps may be accurate geographically, they are not accurate politically, because politics is about people, not land area.
To combat these, I made a thing. It shows more or less where people voted each way, but in a population-proportional way. The population normalization causes the states to look weird, but they are mostly in contact with their correct neighbors. Feel free to repost as needed.
Upload IP Address | 50.135.139.169 |
Roger GoodThat is very interesting - while a superficial statement about area might suffice a deeper look might be of real value - first thought is why denser population for H and sparse for T? That question would logically lead one to correlate the believed factors influence voting and apply them to both populations.

Jeff AalfsDave, this is awesome. How did you do it (not in detail)?
Nov 12, 2016, 4:02 PM
Jeff AalfsI've been wanting to see a map normalizing population and GDP. Is that plausible?
Nov 12, 2016, 4:05 PM
Dave HirschThe hard part would have been making the district map. I didn't do that part. I got a blank one from the dailykosbeta.com site mentioned in the image. Then I used data on Politico, and did the math as described in the image. Politico also had the county-by-country results, to do the approximate placement of red and blue. The actual image manipulation was done in Inkscape (kind of an open-source Adobe Illustrator). It was actually pretty simple.
Nov 12, 2016, 9:41 PM
Dave HirschPotentially. Not sure what you mean, though. A population-normalized map scales the states based on population, not land area (as most maps do). To normalize by two things...I guess I don't have a mental picture of what you mean. What would two states with identical population but different GDP look like? Vice versa?
Nov 12, 2016, 9:44 PM
Jeff AalfsI guess I'm really curious about voting districts by GDP, or maybe by per capita GDP. That might tell you about where American business is being done, and how votes break down by relative wealth/productivity. These are all just ideas--your map got me thinking...
Nov 15, 2016, 10:07 AM
Dave HirschSo, a look at the correlation (if any) between voting trends and per-capita GDP by district? Something like that would be interesting.
Nov 15, 2016, 10:14 AM
Jeff Aalfsyes. per-capita GDP would basically reduce to GDP since all districts are roughly equal in population. It would tell you patterns based on overall wealth and geography...
Nov 15, 2016, 10:15 AM
Jeff AalfsI have no idea if you can get anything approximating GDP by district or county...
Nov 15, 2016, 10:16 AM
Dave HirschThat was what I was wondering, too.
Nov 15, 2016, 10:16 AM
Jeff Aalfsper capita income by county is available. Some surprises, but the overall pattern is about what you would expect...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_counties_by_per_capita_income#First_Decile
Nov 15, 2016, 10:19 AM
Dave HirschBut income vs. GDP? Hmm...
Nov 15, 2016, 10:30 AM
Jeff AalfsTrue. income is what came up when I searched on GDP. I don't know enough economics to know how the two can be related geographically (other than "it depends"...)

Today at dinner I asked Sawyer what he is going to be when he grows up.
He first replied, "Well, what I think I'm going to be now is going to be different than what I will want to be later."
So I asked him what he *wants* to be when he grows up, and he said, "I'm sure that what I will want to be is going to change, because I will have different experiences by then." (Seriously, he said this.)
So, I asked him if he could choose anything right now, what would he choose? He started thinking...kept thinking...then got distracted. Never did answer my question.

Third annual Ross Lake Canoe Trip! Check out the comments for details
Upload IP Address | 73.140.59.51 |
Dave HirschWe are very sad that logistics haven't worked out to go with our good friends Dave and Kim and Brian and Beth this year. However, we are going to soldier on and try to have a great time anyway. If you want to join us, we can promise some great camping, great vistas, and an experience that perfectly splits the difference between car camping and roughing it.
If you've never canoed, don't worry - we can have a training session on Silver Lake beforehand sometime, and it's pretty easy to pick up. You don't need to own a canoe - I will be renting mine from Ross Lake Resort. They had plenty when I called recently, but they do tend to go fast.
We are heading out the morning of Friday July 21 and coming back late in the afternoon on July 24. Message, call, email, or text me if you're interested. Camping space is very limited on Ross Lake, so we're looking for only about four-ish other folks to join us.

Adam KleinI'm sure there's a joke about a jew in a canoe somewhere here, but I'm unable to find it at this time.

Passed the CISSP exam. It was a fairly tough exam, but I was pretty well prepared by the WCC/WWU coursework.
They don't tell you the score, but a win is a win! Now, I just need about 3-4 more years of experience and I will actually be a CISSP 😒.

Adam KleinHmmm. I just looked at a CISSP practice exam and... I think I could pass it with minor study. It asked a lot about risk management, asset security policy, network access, security assessment and testing. Stuff that I do all the time as part of my day-to-day, though I'm sure there's the 'real world answer vs what the test wants' sorts requiring some study.
Jun 13, 2017, 3:05 PM
Dave HirschI'm sure you could. Go for it! You can be the security manager you're looking for.

Dave HirschYou helped it happen; thanks, man!
Jun 13, 2017, 8:59 PM
Dave HirschThere's quite a bit. I would say that if you knew all the WCC curriculum perfectly, you could get about 60% on the exam. There was quite a lot of software development life cycle stuff, auditing and assessment stuff, compliance stuff, other high-level topics. I have some books I got for studying if you want, including a book with two full practice exams that I went through over the past two weeks. You're welcome to borrow them if you like.

Janeen Taylor VadenIt's one of those bittersweet moments for a parent. You are so proud that they are confident to go off without you, but a little heart broken that they don't need you as much as they used to. Just wait till she starts to drive. That first time she drives off in a car by herself is wonderful and terrifying.

I put together a setup for "scanning" old slides and negatives. Here is an old slide of Whitney and Mom, from a set that had mostly girl scout stuff. (Not sure how I ended up with them.)

Judy Greenberg HirschWow. I want to know more about it
Sep 29, 2017, 7:32 PM
Dave HirschLED light tablet, two pieces of glass to sandwich the negative flat (not needed for slides), and a macro lens. Need to do post-processing with Photoshop, but not much.

Morgan RumpfAre you telling me that with your multiple degrees in geology - that you need to consult another expert?
Jun 20, 2018, 2:08 PM
Pete StellingBased on what looks to be pyroxene chunks in a clayey matrix, I'm guessing a hyaloclastite.
Jun 20, 2018, 4:28 PM
Pete StellingWhere'd you find this? What other clues do you have?
Jun 20, 2018, 4:28 PM
Dave HirschOlivine Pools trail, north side of Maui. Some parts have phenocrysts about 1 cm! Really cool! About 10% Olivine, 70% Opx, 30% Cpx with the overall distribution being about 90% phenocrysts.
Jun 20, 2018, 4:36 PM
Dave HirschThis particular piece has more Cpx than most.
Jun 20, 2018, 4:37 PM

Whitney KleinBeing familiar with cognition and dementia, I have to say, this is VERY telling (and sad. And scary)
Aug 26, 2018, 7:35 AM
Ariella Salinas FioreI talked to someone last night at a party who worked on the first five seasons of the apprentice and said that he was pretty much just as word salady then, but the editors would edit things altogether to make him sound coherent. So, not saying he doesn’t have an issue, because I agree that he does, but evidently it’s been going on far longer than we imagined.
Aug 26, 2018, 3:37 PM
Whitney KleinI'm sure it has. When it came out that he got a perfect score on the MOCA (Montreal Test of Cognition) I can tell you that that is total bull shit. I give that test every day. It is not hard, but there are some things that people consistently get wrong. He may have not scored in the "dementia" range, but I have given it to colleagues and even they haven't gotten a perfect score.

Have you seen this lame astroturf campaign? 😠 Don't be suckered.
GROCERIES are not being taxed, and there's no move to tax groceries. This is a push by the SODA manufacturers to keep us from taxing soda. The farmer in this picture and quote is either lying or duped, because he isn't producing soda. (@[188904861832540:274:Shady Grove Farm] - any response?)

Family & friends: Sawyer is raising money for his school in the annual Fun Run. They run around the track as many times as they can and the idea is that we pledge money for each lap or just give a fixed amount.
You can send me a check, PayPal me, or donate online (http://www.happyvalleypta.com/fun-run). Sawyer's info for the online form: 5th Grade, Ms. Eckert.

The cross-trench was for Plan A, which I had to ditch after seeing how hard it was to bore under the sidewalk. Ended up with about 10 feet of trench I didn't use. :(
