A Compendium of Useful and Useless Information

November 10th, 2025, 10:25 pm

Some of my favorites from past to present: 

Financial Times
Federal Reserve
IMF
The World Bank
World Economic Forum

Some you may not like the elitist bias, but they have vast data sets too!

More importantly,
Golf Scotland

Perfect in high wind and driving rain, followed by a glass (or two) of the MacAllans. :)

Further contributions to the Compendium are welcome, of course.

Vico cycles maybe?

Here are four information sources, the first two are interesting from a quantitative perspective and the second two for general quality of life.

The Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS)
"SDSS-V is the first facility providing multi-epoch optical & IR spectroscopy across the entire sky, as well as offering contiguous integral-field spectroscopic coverage of the Milky Way and Local Volume galaxies. This panoptic spectroscopic survey continues the strong SDSS legacy of innovative data and collaboration infrastructure."

See the paper that covers the latest release (DR19) here:

The Nineteenth Data Release of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey - on arXiv submitted July 9 2025

and as an accompaniment for a celestial journey:

The Flavor Bible (on Amazon)

The Vegetarian Flavor Bible (on Amazon)

I have both books and I think the cooking enthusiasts here might enjoy them.
