   I'm also a big fan of BibDesk. I used to use Papers 1, but it was always a little buggy. Then the paid upgrade to Papers 2 was a big kick in the shins (paying to upgrade to an even buggier program with some features removed). I tried

   It is actually much worse than that. You're assuming a uniform distribution over the numbers that people call, but there are some numbers that a significant fraction of the population call. For example, how many people are three hops

   Thanks, that worked well. I needed to add a pause between cmd-l and cmd-c though.

   Nothing too crazy. I have a keyboard shortcut that grabs the URL from chrome, then passes it off to a script that interfaces with pass [0] to have a rudimentary, but secure and cross platform password manager. [0]: http://www.zx

   I'm surprised that I haven't been contacted by any sites yet with advice to reset my password. Is it the case that not many sites were actually running 1.0.1? Or are they just patching, creating new certs, and calling it a day?

   The warning message returned by the spider-trap says that it banned a particular IP address. How does this cut off the entire university? Is everyone behind a NAT?

    I recently switched from 1Password to pass (on a mac). At first I missed how easy it was to hit "cmd+\" to fill in a web login form, but I made a little shortcut that has similar functionality. First, I created an automator actio

    What is drafting? I suppose the site's target audience already knows the answer, but I couldn't find it explained anywhere on the site.

    It sounds like users with over 1000 karma also need to go through the pending stage. So in that sense you are still on equal footing with them. You just won't be able to vote on other pending posts.

    I've been reading about stoicism lately (the ancient philosophy, not the adjective for lack of emotion) and I think that practicing stoics have some nice tools to help people out with this. One of the primary ways that stoics find tran

    I don't really understand what he's talking about here (my ignorance, not his fault.) Is it something like https://camlistore.org/ that is a content addressable (the git part) datastore?

    Yeah, I was trying to figure that out too. They seem to care about closure and identity, but most of the examples have operators that trivially break an Abelian group's commutative requirement.

    It isn't just that research funds are drying up. There's also a growing number of Ph.D.s fighting over the shrinking pot of money [0]. I usually advise students not to pursue a Ph.D. because the life of the median academic is pr

    As many others have mentioned, the "right" thing to do is warn them. Also, if you don't warn them, you are starting to get into "negative option" territory, and you need to be careful about how you disclose this to

    Each major release of OS X, I know that I should wait until the x.1 release, but I get excited and install the x.0 release anyway. And every release, the same thing happens. Tons of bugs, crashes, and frustration and I swear that next rel

    I hope they find ways to speed things up. When I return to the main page from a story, I have to wait five seconds while items on the front page bounce around as things load. This is on a very fast connection and a mac pro.

    Has there been any clarification on the tax treatment of gains from trading Bitcoins? If I bought at $100 and sold at $300 is the $200 gain treated as income or capital gains?
