While it is the scientists who are writing the papers and editing them, the journals provide a valuable service as intermediaries between the scientists. Whether this service is best provided "for free" or for profit is another qu

I think it's great that Prof. Edelman is dedicating his time to Julia and I hope he will be rewarded for it. However, I think that a statement of the sort you provided above should have appeared below the SIAM News article. This is som

Does Prof. Edelman have a financial stake in Julia? He is such an enthusiastic booster of the language, that either it must be truly amazing, or there is an undisclosed motive.

If I saved some money, I'd rather stash it in a trustworthy institution like Bank of America (bear with me for a moment) than search for someone to lend it to on my own. Similarly, if I wrote a research article, I will submit my articl

People keep on saying that academic journals provide no value, since all of the work is being done by the scientists anyway. I have another take on this. I think that they're providing a (virtual) meeting place for scientists. Just lik

The guys who've been prodding us to use chevron IO in lieu of printf and to pepper our code with gems like the for_each "algorithm" are back, and they have some new awesome features for us. Thanks, guys.

If you find yourself saying that you gained nothing from your education other than soft skills, maybe you should have passed over the functional analysis part and put the effort directly into learning said soft skills. I'm in the same

I applaud what sic-hub is doing, but am curious why doesn't Elsevier simply block the IPs that sci-hub is using. I imagine that once a university gets blocked, whoever shared their credentials at that university will get similar treatm

Often, it's not about print. People sometimes take vector images of plots and squeeze a bunch of them on a single page, with the idea that whoever views the paper online can zoom in if they're interested enough.

I'm curious what led you to leave industry for a postdoc. AMPLab is a great place with lots of smart people, but I'm guessing you've taken a > 4x pay cut with dim chances for career development, unless you're shootin

People often misunderstand what it means to get a paper published. Nobody publishes a paper to "disseminate their work." You can do that perfectly well by making a blog post or posting on arXiv. A published paper is a badge recogn

Re collaboration. I work in a government research lab which prides itself on being a collaborative environment. The result is that we publish 10-author papers in which one author is doing all of the work and the other 9 are cheering from th
