How about starting a reading group, say a Linux kernel and device driver source code reading group? ;)

It looks pretty but I find the density of the classic layout more useful for skimming for relevant articles (less scrolling).

Oh, how I loved that keyboard and form factor - only the 2 GB RAM limit was a little too tight for technical work, but a great office laptop at the time!

That's the point of repeating what we customers like: hopefully someone out there builds us what we will like, again.

You can get a subset of the English Wikipedia printed and bound, that gives you even more privacy, as you don't need to share the topics you are interested in with any electronic service. Hint: Using a public (book) library also means

I think I can agree with this. He was as prolific as Euler was in mathematics, but perhaps a tad more of a genius (hard to compare music and maths). > He seems to have been entirely internally driven by his genius and his commitment to t

Computer scientist here. I enjoyed the "Networks" book, especially Chapter 0 [sic] where he re-tells how their seminal paper was written. Overall, I viewed the book as an insightful and inspirational semi-popular science piece tha

This got me laughing - and I reckon it's because of the extremely high laughter-to-length ratio. Has anyone formally evaluated joke effectiveness (apart from Monty Python's "deadly joke")?

It's a cool feature because it makes the papers more finable, more easily navigatable, easier to read online and faster to scroll through. I am also happy for blind people that they can more easily use ArXive with Braille readers now.

What I wonder is how you define "neat" if not related to "useful". Personally, I think something would be neat to build if it (1) does not yet exist and (2) would be useful to have and (3) the technology at hand lends it

There is the option of contacting the program committee chair or proceedings editor to complain if the reviewers misunderstood something fundamentally, like it looks like it happened in his example. The teacher should have fought this battl

Journal articles/conference papers are not the only outlet, you can still write technical monographs if you feel review cycles are holding you back.

You are right. I often got told "You don't compare with anything" when proposing something very new. That's true, because if you are literally the first one attempting a task, there isn't any benchmark. The trick th

It also seems unprofessional to call Sir Fisher an "ass", which is called an ad-hominem attack (attack on the person is obviously not a valid logical argument), and one of a dead person at that. Fact is: Fisher made fundamental co
