Interpreting EEG requires understanding how the skull smears electrical fields as they propagate from the cortex. I made a browser-based simulator for my EEG class to visualize how dipole depth/orientation change the topomap.

I love papers that summarize what we know versus don't about a thing (most often via a model) and lead to clarity about what's unknown.

🐳 🐙 Docker Compose Tip #12
One Dockerfile, multiple environment builds!
Use `target` to build specific stages:
• Dev stage: 450MB (with tools)
• Prod stage: 12MB (optimized)
That's 37x smaller! Same Dockerfile.

For independent data people, where do you send alerts for things that need your attention? I want to get alerted if data pipelines fail, but it's just me, so I don't have Slack or similar.
I don't keep my email open so might not see an alert for hours, but I also don't want to receive texts.

It’s frustrating that most event platforms lock API behind expensive plans. Meetup, Luma, and others restrict the API to $50+ monthly plans. They already scale plans based on guests, events, and payments so why charge for something that would help get the platform more usage?
