i haven't seen or heard of DDD in many years, i always just thought it was a pretty front end for gdb... but i never knew it had plotting support, holy moly! my absolute favorite way to debug very complex things is to visualize them. i

this has been my experience. i even prefer some parts of the firefox ui. but for the reasons you mention, the net result is that then i have to run two browsers which means twice the work, complexity and risk. i hate this. i really want fir

this is also true, and it also runs within science itself. if someone spends two years collecting some data that is very hard to collect and it has a few papers worth of insights within it, they're going to want to keep that data priva

...also, if a technique appears in a paper, an expert on that technique should be a reviewer and/or a standard rubric should be applied (i think nature and science have gotten much more rigorous about this in recent years in the wake o

this is sort of one of the weird problems that shows up at the intersection between science in the public interest and a market driven system of production. pure science that is publicly funded in the public interest would publish all raw d
