When I choose MIT over GPL I'm usually trying to make my work as easy for others to adopt as possible. I want some of the software I wrote to become a commodity. The MIT seems a clearer path to commoditized software than the GPL. Is th

I just resumed work on Open Competencies, which allows anyone to openly create, share, and revise education standards. Education standards are currently a cobbled-together set developed by independent bodies. We have Math and English standa

This is great! It still looks like you have to go to SF for the windows installers; am I missing something? Do you know if there's any plans to move away from SourceForge? If I was in charge of the project, I'm not sure what I&#x2

I hope people who care about this issue are aware of the Open Science Framework [0], which is being developed by the Center for Open Science [1]. It's a great project that's helping to open up the entire process of doing science.

I think I'm going to work through a basic calculus text again. I learned the concepts well enough 25 years ago, but I've gotten rusty on the practice. I look forward to it!

You're explaining a student's response to the exam structure, but you're not explaining why the institution wants to fail some students every year. If you care about student learning, you do a criterion-referenced assessment.

The absence of an eternal life gives meaning to every day I'm alive. I'm not trying to disagree; just trying to clarify how people who don't believe in an afterlife can find meaning in a life that will end with finality at so

But a drone with a parachute falling into a pack of racing bicyclists sounds like a really bad idea as well, doesn't it? The larger issue seems to be the possibility of drones crashing into people who are involved in an activity that r

This is fascinating. I've only ever really though of antimatter forming in the early universe, at the edges of black holes, and in particle accelerators. I love the thought of them forming in thunderclouds as well, and I'm quite c
