I have six kids, eldest 10, so 3 in school, other 3 pre K and younger. I think I essentially gave up today on online learning. I decided to grab some math circle books and a whiteboard. I’m also going to get the Mathematica for schools set

This idea of the mutations being 'random' is pretty meaningless. A real question is whether or not something is intentionally engineered to pass these kinds of 'randomness' tests. Just to give you an example, this is an

Maude fascinates me to no end. Currently I'm actually re-learning kdb+/q as I want to implement some things related to bioinformatics using it, but at some point I'd really like to do some things with logic/dependent typ

Not sure which field of bionanotechnology (I assume you meant bionanotechnology ) you work in, but for the one I work in, the metaphor of biology and computer science is extremely intertwined—like very explicitly. Circuits, computation, th

I think this was first written about at length in the book ‘Soft Machines’, which is a really good critique of some of the nanotechnology thinking at the time. I highly recommend the book.

Yes, I work at one of the major universities in the US. Watch over the next week as the guidance on this changes. Frankly, you don't need to be 'qualified' to read review articles in this area--I encourage any logical citizen

Did you read the paper I linked? Read it, and then tell me what the facts are. Whether or not they are offering advice based on facts or political considerations is a matter of debate. There is no real meaningful debate on the mechanisms

In the US we are using the Defense Production Act to make ventilators--this is good, but really we need the focus to be on N95 masks. With the current level of disinformation regarding droplet spread this isn't happening--this is the t

In a few words?....'Don't write the code in the first place'. Yes, follow best practices of modules etc, but in general write a lot less code. This is harder than it sounds, and often requires multiple rewrites.
