I just wanted to add a counter point that there exists lots of serious(ly-taken) science that cannot be based merely on hypotheses and on attempts of proving or disproving those. Each practical research project starts by defining the contex

0 years ago when I was in grad school, everybody was still using Matlab. Ok, some used R and NumPy but 80% Matlab. Such a collection of sparse matrix routines (direct solve, iterative solve, preconditioning, eigensolvers, SVD) is very usefu

I must say that I was slightly surprised of it as well. I had to replace a fuse on the motherboard (screen was black) but otherwise it was in a pristine condition. Before this I had a 2011 Thinkpad x200s which is a more typical finding at w

They soldered my ram and ssd to the motherboard. I don't mind if its made by a particular company as long as I don't give them money.

I don't assume that people blog only. I do HPC for a living and pay for resources on demand. Not everyone can manage but more of you could if you wanted.

I will never buy a computer again. You can find lots of very powerful computers in trash bin (e.g. my current 2013 MBP). People buy a piece of very precious materials and throw it away in 2 years. I think this is one of the most unethical t

I would quickly start drifting if I attended a class on 3D graphics and the teacher started writing everything open without matrices like that. You must admit the usefulness of a short notation when communicating ideas. While understanding

The second question bothers me as well. In addition, partially melted and refrozen snow can cause really large loads to the dome if not removed on time. Must be annoying to climb up there.

I'd be happy to hear examples how Python 3 helps us in computational sciences. I've barely even tried it before and have used Python 2 a lot.

My colleagues at academia (scientific computing) mostly default to Python 2. Personally I'll switch to Python 3 when approximately over 50% of my colleagues use it or when some mind blowing new feature or library is introduced only for

Have they already fixed the need to "devectorize" the code to make it fast? This was the major drawback for me since I wish the code to be concise AND fast.

I have all my dotfiles in Dropbox and create symlinks to those. I require some 'quasi-secrets' in my configs and therefore I do not use Github.

The lack of actual biomedical imaging examples in the post reminds me of another much hyped technique called Electron Impedance Tomography. It also works in theory and even with simple experimental test cases but has not spawned any concret

Thank you for the suggestion! I have so far loved the minimalistic feeling and intuitive keybindings for a vi-user.
