A) they find it more readable to have less stuff on each line B) they think they might want to look at the intermediate results, or compute additional statistics

I'm confused. You're suggesting the republican-controlled US house of representatives is engaged in some kind of conspiracy to ban firearm ownership, by making it easier to get firearms?

The list includes liberalamerica.org, addictinginfo, and many other lefty sites. It looks like they intentionally included right and left-biased partisan news sites as well as right and left-biased hoax sites I think this is important becau

I love this! But if you choose words that commonly appear in idioms, you just get the original idiom back. Example: cat >cat got your tongue >cat nap >curiosity killed the cat >fight like cat and dog >grin like a cheshire cat

I think this is already done. Pathologists-in-training have to learn somewhere. Machine learning researchers didn't exactly invent the concept of studying practice problems with provided answers, then taking a test.

It's not entirely the case right now, at least in sciences, there is still medium-skilled technician work. But these jobs are subject to the same pressures as driving, cleaning and apple-picking. They're being increasingly automat

It's not obvious to me. Example use case: The last time I wrote a bunch of decorators, I was writing python bindings to a set of C++ classes that each had an internal error state that had to be checked after each time a method was call

I see a lot of people commenting here that there's no incentive to repeat previous research because it's not useful for getting grants, etc. This kind of true but I think it misses something important. At least in life sciences (c

Naive question: even so, what's the advantage over using, say, a const std::array<MyStruct>?

I really don't buy the author's contention that "normal" people are likely to become diaper fetishists just because a diaper porn clip popped up on a website. More plausible situation: people who were kinky-but-didn&#x27

Not in USA at least. You would of course be immediately fired, but it's not actually illegal, so you couldn't be charged with a crime.

I don't think this is the case. Most of numpy, which powers the vectorized operations that the rest of the scientific stack uses, is written in C anyway. The python part is simple, just python bindings to the C functions. The matlab-li

Another important reason for slow adoption of open access is that most open access journals charge significant publication fees ($1000 or more.) Most academic labs run on shoestring budgets, so that's a lot of money. The principal inve
