Yeah. The magnet quench flash boils a bunch of helium which is itself expensive, and presents a nice asphyxiation hazard as well. And then, assuming the quench damaged nothing, you have to set up the magnet again by getting the coils back down to superconducting temperatures… to get there, you end up boiling off a lot more helium. And then you have have to bring an engineer in to get the electrons spinning through the coil again and wait for the wobbles in the current to stabilize.

Or so I think. I work with NMR spectrometers and not MRIs, but it’s essentially the same technology.

I mean… just rotate it 90 degrees ((()))

Oh, I’m sure this’ll end well.

This post made me go try something in clojure again and man I forgot just how fucking good the language is. Everything fits together so nicely.

you mean let.

and then letting Hindley-Milner do the rest
