Yes, 100% better. If I add the time I spend on NH over the week, some weeks it can probably reach 3-5 hours. That's 3-5 hours reading about something, checking comments, sometimes replying. But there is no substantial, measurable gain

I originally upvoted the commend you replied to, as it seemed to make a good point, but after reading your reply I had to take the upvote down and give it to you. Just wanted to share.

Nowadays it seems like every other comment on Stack Exchange is full of forced and phony politeness. That's in their rules too.

Oh, based on the comment you replied to I thought this was about R. In R matrices can handle NaNs and NAs, have column and row labels, have dot products and much more.

The first distinction here should be what kind of "code" are we talking about. As far as I see there are two main possibilities: 1. code for performing a scientific simulation or analysis (a script). 2. code for solving a sp

Does it allow specifying columns when filtering for rows? For instance, the shown example filters for "Bug" but seems to filter for rows that contain "Bug" in any of the columns. Can I specify to filter for "Bug&quo

Yeah, of course, maybe it would be 1.1. What I am trying to say is that the results could be reported in a more scientific manner. For instance, about epigenetic clocks, there are a lot of them now. There is GrimAge for mortality, FitAge fo

I love what the guy is doing. It is a one-man experiment that would be very very hard to reproduce, or even get ethics approval and funding for, by a research lab. But on the other hand, I get a sense that the public side of his results are

You might be right, thou I don't see that sentence as being exceptionally unclear. The first remark in the OP - stating that this is about fruit flies, made me think they might not have heard about circadian rhythms and were genuinely

> Also, what? Is this about that circadian rhythm line? It look true, if not under-stated. Shift between nights and days was one of the major constant things throughout the evolution of life. And the influence of this rhythm goes deeper

In your case I would really doubt if apendix was the cause. As a teen I also loved milk, pancakes, pasta, etc, but around early 20s started to notice that they are bad for me. Now if I eat a lot of milk and glutamine I get digestive issues,

I've always understood "tits or gtfo" to suggest that if you are mentioning you are a girl then do something related to it (show breasts) or else shut up about being a girl when its not relevant.

A Bayesian proponent wanting an objective standpoint ... Sorry, could not resist :) But I edited the comment. Sorry if it ruined your mood. I shared it with good intentions, not to pick a fight.

Hm, that line doesn't seem bad to me. But I can certainly edit it if you think it's harsh in some way. Which would you prefer?: 1. "I think your view about the difference between Frequentist and Bayesian methods is biased

I don't understand why it has to be added to every single page. Is there a reason this is not implemented as a default browser behaviour for devices where it matters (i.e. mobile phones)?
