Good Tuesday morning to everyone here in the #Fediverse today!
It's a new day, so let's all discuss what the day has in store for each of us.
I have work stuff as always, and I also have a meeting at 12pm and then at 2pm. Both should be decently good meetings so nothing too boring.
Afterwards, I'm hoping to catch up on the two episodes of American Idol that…

I never watched anything Star Trek.
I feel I should catch up, and maybe that's a good idea, but I don't even know where to start and whether I should watch everything there is.
If I were to start Star Wars today, I'd have been big time confused because there's gazillion different chronologies and most stuff beyond first two trilogies shouldn't have been produced at all, but well, Disney happened.
About Star Trek I don't know what to expect.
(th…

I was going to post a question on Reddit about what two or three comics I should start reading that would be relatively easy to get caught up on and have good characters with little to no triggery stuff in them and have some fantasy or space opera elements, but then I realized that literally any subreddit I would post in would immediately ban my post for failing to follow some obscure rule about asking research questions and I’d be admonished by some mod for failing to have already ingested seventeen years of that specific /r/‘s culture and mores.
EDIT: because this is getting all the right kinds of lovely folk boosting—stuff I love in comic books would be things like Catherine Asaro’s Major Bhaajan, steampunk elements (god I don’t have the energy to catch up on Girl Genius but I used to love it), Honor Harrington, Xena Warrior Princess, anything hopeful future like Star Trek, the anime series Trinity Blood, no fae sexy shit because I already know how to find ACOTAR on Libby and I don’t need an illustrated guide, and whimsy eg a Psalm For The Wild-Built.

If your risk model for an industrial facility isn’t making you put solid lids on tanks with dangerous chemicals, and accounting for small animals that just like to wander around, then maybe your risk model sucks and you shouldn’t be in business.
“According to the AFP news agency, a company spokesperson said: "The incident woke us up to the need to take measures to prevent small animals like cats from sneaking in, which is something we had never anticipated before."

Former GM explains linking Giants' Saquon Barkley to Cowboys
Former NFL general manager and current analyst Mike Tannenbaum explained during Tuesday's edition of ESPN's "Get Up" why he's convinced the Cowboys should target Saquon Barkley assuming the Giants let the star running back reach free agency in March.  "He can catch," Tannenbaum said about Barkley during the show segment, per Ed Valentine of Big Blue View. "He can run. I think his pass protection has actually gotten better. Based on the way Tony Pollard played I actually think [Barkley] would i…

Automated Calibration of Parallel and Distributed Computing Simulators: A Case Study
Many parallel and distributed computing research results are obtained in simulation, using simulators that mimic real-world executions on some target system. Each such simulator is configured by picking values for parameters that define the behavior of the underlying simulation models it implements. The main concern for a simulator is accuracy: simulated behaviors should be as close as possible to those observed in the real-world target system. This requires that values for each of the simulato…
