Ooh I didn't know. I usually create my own files and exchange only with editor, but definitely worth watching out for this in general. CmapTools supposrts CXL format ( https://cmap.ihmc.us/xml/CXL.html ) as export,

Cmap Tools is the best! I've tried all kinds of other mind-map and concept-map tools, but always keep coming back to Cmap tools and the "default" styles with simple lines and arrows. Here is an example with some concept maps

It's not a book but a website[1] and a talk[2] that explains a good strategy for writing docs, based on four quadrants. [1] https://documentation.divio.com/ [2] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t4vKPhj

What does "warm up" mean in this case? Send a few emails? Also, what policy do you recommend fro DMARC: none, quarantine, or reject?

I'm interested, but would like to know the "stack" it is based on. Is there a build script? I see SASS icon on the landing page, so there must be a build. What CSS framework is it using (if any)?

I agree with you, though I wonder what's included in your definition of "do statistical analysis" ? Is it just using the stats functions as blackboxes without understanding what is going on under the hood? I find using Pytho

Others have already mentioned the classics, but if you're looking for something more off the beaten path, you can check out my book: No Bullshit Guide to Math & Physics which covers calculus in approx. 150 pages (Chapter 5). You

My anecdotes are from two countries: 1. In Quebec, Canada where French speakers keep the default en-US, even thought most of their work and communications will be in fr-CA. 2. In Bulgaria, because most people learned computer concepts in En

Yes, that's exactly my experience. Most people who install windows don't bother to set the locale correctly, so everyone ends up en-US. So if you trust the Accept Language header, you'll get it wrong.

Speaking of editing web pages using gdocs, I implemented this approach[1] on a recent project to make an easy-to-use CMS. The server acts as a proxy to get the HTML from google docs and does some cleanup[2]. It's pretty good for simple

If you end-up finding one of these books, please let me know the title/author. It sounds like a really interesting approach... almost like a choose your own adventure.

I agree with the others commenters who say the code "improvements" lead to unwarranted complexity and unreadability. Academic version of enterprise fizz-buzz this is. IMHO, the quality of the code is not so important but more the

You're totally right that LA is a superpower! I wrote a book on Linear Algebra that might be of interest to you and your daughter in case y'all want to revisit these topics. In particular it covers a lots of applications. preview:

Unfortunately it is according to some of the common core grading rubrics (in the US). 5 x 3 can be understood as five groups of three items, or three groups of five items, and students at a particular grade level are "encouraged"

I disagree with the number-every-equation rule (Rule 1). It sounds like the math equivalent to adding extra complexity to code so it will be "ready" for extension in the future. I prefer to number only the important equations that

One thing to realize is that technology is not bad—it's the shitty apps and the social media superficialities that are bad. So if you can pre-load the "good stuff" (educational stuff, documentaries, wikipedia, etc.) then you&

This is really well done. It's like a live-updating meta analysis. I wonder to what extent each paper can be parsed automatically to extract the p-value and effect size to add to the table. I'm not sure what to do when there are m
