He does, starting at the section that begins: > Possibly even worse is the fact that so much academic writing is kept behind vastly more costly paywalls.

I was an experimental physicist, and I'd say that's a reasonable comparison to make. The time scales are much longer, unfortunately. Instead of taking one or two years to get a company off the ground, it can be more like five for

I found this more readable and understandable than the Haskell post, although I can't quite say why. It might simply be the repetition. I'm really interested in Futhark, though I haven't found a project where it would be make

It's a reasonable hypothesis. But the new physics might also lie in why we don't see more than 3 generations of charged leptons or quarks.

Adding masses is a trivial extension, though, by giving them masses in the same way that electrons and other leptons do.

There are a few interesting things that we could get from looking at neutrino masses. The first has to do more with the nature of the mass than the mass itself. In the standard model, electrons, muons, and taus get their mass from the Higgs

I remember reading this a decade or two ago, but I never could find such a plot to confirm this. Fortunately, someone generated one here back in 2016: https://hsm.stackexchange.com/questions/264/timeline-of-meas...

If the CDC weren't explicitly prevented from studying gun violence[1], they might be able to look into these problems. It's too soon to know if the recent (2018) changes to the interpretation will make a difference. [1] https:&#x

We're in an investee's market right now. Investors are throwing large amounts of money at anything that might have a positive return. This gives the founders/CEOs/etc. a lot more power to get away with this kind of stuff

ROOT is my go-to example for peak Object Oriented in the 90s. Look at the inheritance for something like a 2D histogram of doubles[1]. Trying to find the documentation for how to draw an arrow on a plot was always fun, because searching for

You have my sympathy. I have been searching for the annotated version for years now. Any readable versions seem to have disappeared. This is a good reminder for me to make backups of the ebooks I do have.

I don't know about the one in Finland, but the one in New Mexico is in the Permian Basin[1]. There are oil and gas resources all over the place. There are also Potash mines right next to the New Mexico facility (and it itself is a salt

For anyone interested in things like this, I'd recommend "Deep Time" by Gregory Benford[1]. It has a chapter devoted to WIPP[2] and this messaging. [1] Amazon link: https://www.amazon.com/Deep-Time-Humanity-Co

We never had to use it, thankfully. Our experiment (like the XENON experiments) used liquid xenon. The boiling point is roughly -110 °C, so it requires cooling to stay liquid. If that cooling had failed, the xenon would have started to boil

I worked on a different xenon-based experiment[1] for my PhD. We were looking for similar rare decays to learn about neutrinos. Our observation of double beta decay of xenon 136 used to be the record for rarest decay. Xenon has some very ni

For the most part, I enjoyed it! I was using it to get more familiar with Rust, and I feel a lot more comfortable with the language now. I doubt I did everything idiomatically, and especially not at the beginning, but I feel like I can solv
