1. The barrier for entry (education, &c) is higher in medicine and bioinformatics. 2. There are regulatory obstacles for businesses. I'm not sure these really apply to Bioinformatics. Particularly if you're looking at the research marke

what does "doing it my way" in this context mean? What did you try and how did you research it? Have looked into this kind of thing myself before and am interested in how you went about your project and if there's a community around that ki

Coming for the UK my worry is that you lose almost all manufacturing capability and shift to financial/services industries. Short term that probably works out really well financially, long term... possibly not so much. In the UK, I find it

From my reading it sounds like we've known for sometime that it was due to strain on the board, but the work provides some insight by mapping stresses, and SEM imaging. From the conclusion: "In summary, a methodology has been developed to i

oh come on, it's not such a bad suggestion. There are many programmers with a poor command of English good ones and bad ones. I see no reason to say "suck it up, learn English" to them. And yes, github might be wise to address that market.

Thanks this was really useful. I use bash scripts, awk etc. fairly frequently but I guess rarely consider Perl for the same applications I do awk, perhaps I should. Your comment really helped me understand where Perl should sit in my toolki

> I don't like this idea that the language can somehow force people to write better code Why is this a bad idea? Do you also object to Perl Critic? Or say having a policy of using Perl Critic?

I think the argument might be that it's easy (easier than many languages) to slip into writing bad Perl, which promotes brain rot, it also sounds like it's a discussion he's had many times before... and perhaps isn't too interested in havin

Yea, I kind of agree with some of this. My coworkers are big fans of Perl Critic because it enforces a standard (and I assume one that promotes cleaner Perl). But it often seem to me that the popularity for Critic is somewhat of a language

I've actually written small projects in all of them. The one that excited me the most was Ruby (and outside of scripting, golang). Ruby seems clean and small, which I like. But I also question the long term prospects of various languages. T

I'd be genuinely interested in reasons why I should learn Perl? I've been hacking away at some Perl interfaces lately but finding it difficult. It seems like a big language (I'm reading Perl Programming, which is certainly a big book). So r

Facebook developed HipHop a compiler for php, they don't use php as an interpreted scripting language. Twitter uses the JVM, but the code is for the most part compiled from Scala.

I think a good UX guy is almost an engineer perhaps not to the point of hacking code, but rather more scientific than handwavey in their approach. But like coders I think there are a lot of bad UX guys out there. It's also probably harder t

What simulations often lack is any clear validation against reality. The true test of a simulation is it's ability to predict the behaviour of a real system, it's not enough to say "their construction has some similar features so it's proba

As someone who is currently living in Japan, but only working remotely for companies in the US/UK I'm kind of interested to know how you find work here? Is it hard to get contract work? Where do you look? What is the pay like?

sure, but what I mean is legally how does that policy need to be established? Does the CEO or board need to give individuals explicit authority to produce license agreements? Some random googling brought up: "Executing Corporate Contracts.

It's great that they decided to open source it (again?). But in some ways it would also have been interesting to see this go to court and establish a precedent on the authority required to license software. Whose signoff do you need? A deve
