TL;DR - Here’s a list of shipwrecks plotted on an interactive map, all over the Narragansett Bay and greater New England area.
Motivation At FarSounder I work on the development software of 3D Forward Looking Sonar products. Part of that development process of course includes collecting data from a lot of different situations and running it through some processing algorithms to evaluate performance and make improvements. To that end, we’re often out on the Narragansett Bay collecting data with the system, and always looking for areas in the bay with interesting features that we can use to test and benchmark our algorithms (pilings, super steep shoals, rock piles, piers, etc).
TL;DR: Listen to customers, test your assumptions, follow the data, repeat
I participated in the NSF I-CORPS program quite a while ago now (LA Node, Fall 2016). The goal of the program is to assist scientists with technology transfer. It’s basically a crash course in entrepreneurship for STEM researchers. The program takes place over about 8 weeks and participants interview at least 100 people (customers, competitors, thought leaders, and partners) with the goal of finding product-market fit and determining the feasibility of commercializing the result of their NSF sponsored research project.
TL;DR - Switch raw heap pointers to unique_ptrs when possible. If your heap allocated resource needs multiple owners, use a shared_ptr instead.
I find myself reviewing C++ smart pointer types over and over again. I guess for me, it’s just been one of those things that doesn’t stick, or perhaps I’ve only needed to use them infrequently enough to forget about them. So, here’s a note to myself, and anyone else dying to read about smart pointers in C++.
Introducción El valle de los lobos es un libro para adolescentes que narra las aventuras inesperadas de una niña que se llama Dana. Es un libro interesante, aunque sea un poco juvenil. En mi opinión, es útil para los estudiantes del idioma porque la historia es fácil de entender y no se usa un vocabulario tan complejo, ya que el libro se escribió para los adultos jóvenes. De hecho, es muy parecido a los libros de Harry Potter.
TL;DR - choose either the option containing the largest number, or the fewest tiles and you’ll be ok!

What am I talking about? Over the summer at a friends house, I was presented with an “old bar game” that I was completely unfamiliar with. It’s a wooden tray, with the numbers 1-12 printed in ascending order on little wooden tiles.
Here’s an example of what it looks like:
