I'm relieved we've gone back to light-heartedly reporting DPRK's eccentricities rather than worrying about the potential consequences of this powerful and deluded leader's take on international relations.

Lots of fields primarily use LaTeX to typeset papers, e.g. physics and computational biology. Typesetting and hosting a PDF never justifies a $1500 publishing fee given that reviewers, editors and of course authors are all working for free.

This really isn't worth worrying about. I know it seems like a Pascal's wager scenario but "youth of stem cells" isn't a problem. We know how to lengthen telomeres (hTERT) and generating human iPSCs is a routine pro

Can't say I've tried it but the above-mentioned docopt has a Go implementation: https://github.com/docopt/docopt.go

Ha yeah I came to terms with this after doing a double-take some time ago. But we still pronounce it code academy right? OT: Reminds me of when I learnt I'd been reading deprecated as depreciated for years, until seeing: http:/&#

I'd say "Britain" more commonly refers to Great Britain, not the UK (i.e. Britain == [England, Scotland, Wales, *islands]).

Not sure arbitrary regex delimiters can be counted as one of "Ruby's tricks" given they've been implemented in sed for maybe 4 decades?

Hey yeah when you ignore all the results for the 50% of the population below the median, things look pretty rosy! USA USA!

Impressive how much thought and work has gone into Tails development, e.g. it has a surprisingly-convincing XP skin that hides the fact you're even using Linux to the casual observer. Kudos to the devs.

Well, a minority in this case. Also I don't think anyone seriously believes 400 million actual people are using twitter in that way.

An iPhone app and an *.io domain name? I'm content with the thousands of neurobiologists working on this stuff full-time.

The same thing exists for the R programming language in Slidify [0]. I found Slidify + Google's io2012 framework an efficient way to generate good-looking presentations [1] so I can see the appeal in extending this to non-programmers.

Ironically at 1:34 in the footage it looks like the thief asks another patron to look after her bag while she went to the bathroom.

Neat, but the zoom works the opposite way that I'd expect, is that just me?

The 6th new account (made in the last hour) to make a positive comment on this particular post, nice.

Of course it's valid, rhetoric != lies.

They use "criminals" 5 times in that short statement. IMO the overuse of emotive language is unnecessary and belies the emotional state of the author. Stay professional and detached—it's a DDoS, I've no doubt it's f

In fairness without an idea of destruction time per unit, $150/hour gives no information on the cost of destroying the shipment.

"Akin" in that your second version has the complete opposite tone and implicit meaning to your original post?

Sure. But a gas leak recently brought down two buildings in Harlem and that's akin to someone posting, "we had a gas leak and I just called the gas company, they switched it off. Just sayin". Point is: things don't alway

That's mischaracterising my position, so I don't doubt you're puzzled.

I get this I really do, you can invent just-so stories about transmission with anything regardless of whether he's wearing Glass. Doctor visits patient with <highly transmissable pathogen> touches x, washes hands and but then (!)
