Yeah years start at 0. But that's because it measures the offset from the beginning of the calendar. You can similarly expand this to all distance based measurements. But that is completely different from counting, which shouldn't

Pip install needs root on my ubuntu install, my lab's and university's old redhat servers and my windows for linux install. I've had to install anaconda python to get any real work done on all three systems. Anaconda works fi

It seems needlessly confusing to me to refer to the first number in a series as the 0th number. 0-based indexing is only good for offset counting, which is very much based on having a mental model based on pointer arithmetic for a number se

Plus I don't have to remember a lot of function names and what order to input vars to the functions. Just have a remember the data.table index syntax and I can do a lot of stuff. I'm sure I can do dplyr once I learn the functions

Even at places where the pay scale is set at the departmental level, professors have discretion on whether they want to pay you over the summer. That's 1/4 of your salary. Also, funding comes straight from the professor. If your a

Yes a couple of years ago I did this project where I needed to get a ton of analysis done, typically with plots and tables as output. Did this in python and it was this huge mess with pandas and matplotlib. Re-did it in R with data.table an

Everyone would have migrated to python 3 years ago if it was almost entirely compatible with python 2. It's just not.

So true. Actually if I can use my MS Office programs in linux I would almost never need to use windows for work again.

Me too! I actually hook up an Ipython terminal to a Jupyter notebook and in order to do REPL type work in the terminal. Much better to work in a REPL terminal and also save my work in the notebook.

I find it beyond useful to have Ubuntu as an app in windows.

No, this model has lower bounds on all nutrients humans need and upper bounds on some based on their toxicity.

Neat that you can differentiate through functions passed using keyword arguments. Also the unicode letters except for delta shows up as black bars in my android which is kind of annoying.

Some googling and apparently you can buy e-ink display modules for relatively cheap [1]. Does anyone have any thoughts on whether you can hook this up to a keyboard, whether that's practical, and what that might be like? [1] https:&#x

I have the DPT-S1 and it's was a great device to use as a student when I had to read tons and tons of papers. I could mark up the papers all I want and not lose my papers (which I used to do all the time). Though the pen is pretty frus

This is so true. I took a proofs class the second year (maybe semester idk) of my college and it was really illuminating. Before that class, language was just something I used to talk to people or to read stories. I don't think I reall

I have a TI-89 emulator in my android phone. I use it all the time from simple calculations to graphing. I think I might have used the calculus functions a couple of times. Anyway, it's really convenient and now I wouldn't even th

You don't get kicked out of academia for that... Well maybe if you're a student and you lose your funding. It's really embarrassing and I'm sure frustrating too. I've reviewed a couple of papers where they didn&#x27

Okay, but if my social skills are that bad then I certainly wouldn't try fixing them at work. Also, in response to your first sentence, it's about relative risk.

They are talking about the workplace in particular. They are saying, why risk your job being social with women at work when you can be social elsewhere.

I see a monad as just an interface, as in a set of generic functions with specific type signatures that you can overload with different types. The functions being identity : a -> m a, and bind : m a -> (a -> m b) -> m b. The typ

The NPR One app does collect statistics such as when do user start and stop podcasts etc. I remember them mentioning the app in a couple of their podcasts and how they use that data to improve their podcasts. It's very likely that they

People who do science aren't some weird platonic ideal of scientists who are only motivated by science. They have spouses, kids they want to send to college, friends, social reputations, and a mortgage. I don't know any scientist

That is just the mathematical description of gravity according to general relativity. We don't have a theory for how the uneven curvature of space happens and we don't have a quantum mechanical theory for gravity either (gravitons

What, am I supposed to list my reasons with citations (of course) to justify my opinion about some historical relic of a site? And I didn't get banned from SA; I just know a lot of people who did.
