Fair point, but in defence of the author, I think there's a huge difference between having some women in positions of power and the attitude that people have towards women in daily life. I can totally imagine a society in which certain

That's because the periodic table is essentially about chemistry (i.e. about electron orbitals), not about nuclear physics (i.e. the atom's nucleus). For example it doesn't talk much about isotopes, aside from usually reporti

In our society we don't value communication and feelings enough, and most important of all, we are not really taught how to understand them, manage them, cope with them. In this sense, everyone can learn something from some kind of &qu

It may be ridiculous, but I dislike it deeply and it's one of the reasons I don't want to switch.

I always hear this "fast matrix operations" argument from Matlab users, but don't they both use BLAS? The difference can only be marginal

Well, right today there's an article on the economist, one on the guardian, two things on the front page of hacker news, etc. This is a debate, with clear criticism of their current views. Let's see.
