EJD @firewxguy.bsky.social · 2hA guy I met the other day told me "college is a scam." Part of me actually agreed with him because I think about how much of college I use professionally and it is less than 50%. Then there are other things I did not learn in college that are more important to me now. Very thought provoking! 320

Let us honor the lives and bravery of the heroes of the Artsakh Defense Forces and Armenian Army for standing up to tyranny while the rest of the world turned their backs. 🇦🇲🇦🇲🇦🇲 000

EJD @firewxguy.bsky.social · 26/09/2026🧵This is a great question! My take is AI/ML libraries are written in either C, C++ or Rust binded to Python to optimize performance but allow data scientists who are not CS degrees to have an easier time interacting with the AI/ML algorithm (Python is easier than low level languages). 210
EJD @firewxguy.bsky.social · 26/09/2026As a developer, one thing I find annoying about ECMWF compared to NOAA is eventhough their data is open source now, I still can't browse the AWS and Google Cloud buckets like I can for any NOAA model data. If the data is open, allow us to browse the bucket!! 010

EJD @firewxguy.bsky.social · 21/09/2026The cross-over support is much stronger this year than the 2024 "Republicans For Harris" which was a fluke since it was only the last couple Reaganites left like Cheney and Kinzinger.
