Snaps and flatpak help Linux work for me. My ideal desktop is a stable core with a few select user applications that I can keep current. Thanks to snaps/flatpak I can run Debian stable on my personal desktop, but keep emacs, firefox, a

There's a tool on Windows called Everything. I use it to grep file names on my hard drive, so I don't care too much about how docs are organized. But I use Org-ref to download pdfs and update my bibtex.

A very simple org-mode workflow that I use to great effect is to just use org-capture and org-agenda and basically ignore all the other features.

I was an avid GnuCash user for a year or two in grad school, keeping track of my finances using GnuCash Mobile on my android phone. Then I bought a new phone and exported my finances database. When I loaded it into my new phone, I found the

That's interesting. I've been using SumatraPDF for years. I might give this a try.

Great book loaded with practical information. I'll also recommend Christian Robert's The Bayesian Choice for the more math-y decision theory crowd.

I do not like headlines that say 'scientists show link between x and y'. It sounds too causal. Rather, journalists should try to write 'scientists observed x correlates with y'

I find tidyverse a bit slow, and I don't like having to memorize all the verbs. I typically reach for data.table these days as a nice middle ground between base R and tidyverse. Your thoughts?

Statistics: How do we quantify evidence for a hypothesis from data? Examples: p-values, Bayes Factors, credible regions, a likelihood ratio. These are all quite different!

I believe wide-spread use of masks is an effective measure, but i disagree that evidence-based medicine vice Bayesian belief-updating is to blame here. If masks work well, the statistical evidence will come out, regardless of the statistica

How can applying a machine learning algorithm to this data (a collection of research papers) help fight Covid? It’s possible most papers here are bogus or low quality. Garbage in, garbage out?

I'll preface my question by saying that I'm not a dev. Why do this kind of work in the shell? Isn't it better to do this in a programming language that can run on all operating systems? What are Windows users supposed to do?

I have found a very enjoyable way to browse reddit: through RSS. I make RSS feeds of the top weekly posts in the three subreddits that I follow and subscribe to those. I use hnrss for reading HN, of course.

It's not immediate feedback, but you do learn when you right and when you are wrong. You learn when you are bullshitting yourself. You learn that you need to be able to justify every step in a proof, and if you can't do, then you

The correct (admissible) decision rule for testing a hypothesis minimizes the Bayes risk, the integrated loss over the posterior distribution. The authors don't really convey what an e-value is, or why they don't use an admissible
