What's wrong with Aspell? (Not saying you're wrong; just wondering what I've missed.)

Much better article and discussion in the link that sctb posted. This article has a number of issues... it's conflating several different problems with fMRI without really explaining them, then arguing that it's worthless -- as op

Without looking into this a lot, probably not much. This parcellation is described as multi-modal, so it's not using only structural or only diffusion, but I doubt it's using fMRI much if at all. Even if so, I'm sure they val

There's a book called It Looked Good On Paper full of things a bit like that, albeit on a smaller scale.

I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Stan Gibilisco's Teach Yourself Electricity and Electronics. It got me into electronics as a curious teenager, and helped get me through the EE part of my undergrad degree.

Not really. What is observed is data, not a model/distribution. One can fit a given model to this data, but they do not, on their own, tell you which model generated them.

This comment really spoke to me. To a surprising extent, actually. I love having some days with no responsibility, no plan, no compulsory activity. That feeling of freedom and effortless enjoyment is one of the most satisfying feelings I

> Hardware/Software 2FA tokens are based on a PRNG with a shared seed. If the table with passwords was accessed it's likely the table with 2FA seeds is hacked. Oh, damn. Thanks for pointing this out. I'd never looked into

What exactly are you asking here? I read it as saying the 2FA somehow "leaks", but that doesn't make sense, so I think I've misunderstood you.

Really cool applied research. If I get the time, I'll check out the author's thesis.

I'm really unsure of this. I can completely believe it, but I can also believe it's completely incorrect. Maybe it turns out people checking their phone while they're with you is fine -- doesn't hurt social bonding in an

I think part of the "surprise" comes from Python being so versatile. I mostly use it for prototyping numerical programming in a research setting, i.e. like MATLAB. So I'm occasionally surprised by the integer division stuff,

I think this would be true in an ideal world, but in practice I fear businesses can avoid dealing with the externality of employee injury. Many people working in building, manufacturing, manual labour, etc are low-paid, low-educated, and in

You'd need to look at death/injury by sector to see its effect. FWIW, I don't have a horse in this race, but I'm inclined to believe OSHA is a good thing. AFAIK most economics/manufacturing research has suggested th

I've never read her work, so I'm hardly parroting her. IIRC I've read about this in a few news articles about pharma finances, and in Ben Goldacre's "Bad Pharma". I don't know whether the marketing/sa

I'm fairly sure most drug companies now spend more on marketing than on R&D/testing.

London is quite crazy. I'm planning to live here for the next few years (working on a PhD), but I have no idea where to go afterwards. I don't think it's sustainable to live here in the long term unless I choose to pursue wea

Just from quickly skimming the literature, it looks like you can measure it in vivo with X-ray fluorescence. Getting access to one of those would be hard, but you might be able to persuade a researcher to use you in a trial? I imagine you&#

That is uplifting. I recently got two conference papers rejected, and I was a bit downcast about it. It's nice to be reminded that individual failures don't tell you much about long-term success.

Maybe now, though the article's from 2008 and it's only comparatively recently in history that the drug war began. I mean, fair point, but it seems we're just quibbling about a background sentence. Even if it did oversell the

by irremediable 10y ago
A citation wouldn't be used for that sentence, by convention, because it's in the article's abstract, rather than in the article proper. Moreover, regardless of what you think about drug (ab)use, it is a matter of increas

Hehe, I don't know whether CSA/UL/cUL are faked as often though -- I think you can even look up the certification record to check it matches the product.

Any chance I could buy an epub? I'm not sure whether I want to subscribe yet, but I can't read fiction on a computer screen. (I'll just download and convert if necessary, but it'd be nicer to pay you for it.)

What about ordering things that are also UL/CSA-approved? Lots of electronics sold in the EU have their CE mark, but also list their UL/cUL/CSA approval.

I've seen this mentioned in things like The Lean Startup, but never as the focus. Do you know any books/studies/similar about targeting early adopters?

Damn, thanks for the detailed comment. Pretty inspiring. I'm going to see whether I can switch over this weekend.

One of these days, I'm going to sit down and try out this, emacs-evil, and neovim. Side-by-side. Need to figure out which one I like most.

Yeah... I'm suspicious of involved coding tests. Low-level stuff (e.g. FizzBuzz) to filter out completely inappropriate applicants is one thing. But judging people on their first pass at a problem could have many pitfalls. For example,

Pretty sure it has changed since then. At least, I used to make the same complaint as you, and a friend who uses Arch recently told me what I'm saying is way out of date. https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Pacman
