Sorting Out .sort() and sorted() Sometimes sorting a Python list can make it mysteriously disappear. This happens even to experienced Python programmers who use .sort() when they should have used sorted() instead. The differences between these two ways of sorting a list are presented in this blog. Author: Eric Olsen, Senior DTX Services Consultant and…

Deep learning. By this point, we’ve all heard of it. It’s the magic silver bullet that can fix any complex problem. It’s the special ingredient that can take any bland or rudimentary analysis and create an immense five course meal of actionable insights. But, what is at the core of this machine learning technique? Is…

The process of materials discovery is complex and iterative, requiring a level of expertise to be done effectively. Materials workflows that require human judgement present a specific challenge to the discovery process, which can be leveraged as an opportunity to introduce digital technologies. In the lab, many tasks require manual data collection and judgment. And…

A microseismic event loaded from the Frontier Observatory for Research in Geothermal Energy (FORGE) distributed acoustic sensing (DAS) data into a Jupyter notebook showing energy from a microseismic event arriving at about 7.5 seconds. These microseisms bring information about the process of stimulation. However, in the data set there are relatively few and they are…
