I don't know how much success you will have as a general search tool but I can tell you that with some tweaks here and there it would be an amazing tool for people to help with mapping a literature review, by searching google scholar&#

I disagree slightly. An additional constraint I would put is that there is enough time past for the historians to have a good view of the events (and their consequences). There is a lot of debate among historians (according to a historian f

What helps me a lot is listening to audiobooks I have already listened to. I find for example the Harry Potter audiobooks narrated by Stephen Fry comforting and relaxing.

I think it is mainly dependent on the person. I love computer games and I spent my share of allnighters on them, but when faced with depression I don't even want to play.

I don't even think it is much competition for Evernote. They sit on two sides of the same need's spectrum of complexity, the extreme simplicity of Keep and the extreme feature-completeness of Evernote and OneNote. The main competi

It's a bit offtopic but have you tried PocketCasts? I have been using it extensively on Android and recommended it to many tech-illiterate (the kind of people who think facebooking makes them computer literate) friends with relatively

And also the increased visibility on the new list may have made them gather more upvotes?

Maybe it's just me, but I would find those numbers much more interesting if they were accompanied by a measure of spread of the IQ distribution.

That's because being a generalist consumer-facing product, Google is a recall-oriented rather than precision-oriented, which means that it is in their best interest to never have their users in front of a blank page, even if it means h

Dragdis looks amazing, but do you know of any offline alternative? I don't trust anything that lives purely online anymore.

I think you had a lucky experience. In reality, most french schools have to make do with a limited budget per child (depending on how wealthy the region of the school is). It is true though that they have nutritional guidelines to follow an

Is there a Thinkpad model you would recommend for day-to-day use (mainly Java programming and LaTeX writing), that is light enough to be carried around daily?

Nice to see some frenchies doing something in that space. The site says that all the elements are here for a first PC release, do you plan to release an early demo? Or keep the game playable by contributors (release regular builds that add

What you have to keep in mind in cases like this is that sentiment analysis algorithms (such as the one you mentioned) or even machine learning algorithms in general are always playing the numbers. They usually* try to have the simplest mod

Couldn't you argue by that same logic that price fixing between companies is perfectly legitimate, since there is no direct coercion on the buyer to consume these products? Just because there is no direct coercion doesn't mean the

Indeed, I could pinpoint at least 4 or 5 that apply to me (not at the same time, more depending on mood). How I pity my colleagues. I wish there was a "does this apply to you? Here is how to get out of it!" part to this taxonomy.

Is it really? I've used it for months and haven't had any problem. I didn't even know it was a port until very recently.

I understand and agree with your point, but not so much with your example. Recursion strikes me as a concept that is simple to explain (and the definition you gave is actually quite good) and hard to master, as in it really sets in when you

I agree. The goal should be to achieve the best compromise between quality and length. Pushing from 80 to 130 is good and all, but I would prefer the research to be focused on preserving youthfulness rather than life in and for itself, i.e.

What confuses me is why it is so expensive? The ones I've seen go from 5$ to 10$ a month while for a little more than $3 I could have mutualized hosting from OVH or any other host. Hell, I could probably have it preinstalled with a CMS

Out of curiosity, what do you think of the Dell XPS13 Developer Edition, which seems to fill not all, but a lot of your conditions?
