I proved a lemma while shampooing as well. It gives immense pleasure to run away naked and wet, grab a pencil, and scribble some nonsense in a paper.

Yet Another Commenting Server - how many of those do we really need?

what a load... Conservation, momentum, trying to force people to use physics concepts for UX, for crying out loud, is anybody taking this seriously?

It has occurred to me that the discussion has shifted towards programming vs mathematics, instead of the actual discussion proposed by the OP to focus on MCMC. This happens a lot here, focus is lost very easily.

It should also have one called "Think Markov Chain Monte Carlo" - even the simplest reference is intractable and others began very simplistically and ends incomprehensible enough to disgust the subject altogether.

You're saying that it is enough just to have will power. I am saying that you must use your will power, and that is two different things. You are just relying on it to make some magic, whereas I am pointing out that you should un

I disagree, people do forget about will power, otherwise they would know that something is bad for them and choose something else to do. People are not that dumb, they know it is taking a toll but they choose to entertain that addiction by

Forget extensions and add-ons and apps to keep you focused. What really boils down is WILL POWER , something that we as a whole have forgot to use in a daily basis. Will will retain your focus; will will help you achieve your goals; w

This is changing, thankfully. First authors should be the ones leading the paper, according to contributions. Some journals are asking for the actual contributions performed by each author, which I think is very good. Alphabetical order

That worked great for your sister . What about those researchers living let's say in Brazil, where Universities cannot afford huge subscription prices? The only alternative is SciHub...

It would be nice to cross-reference with only open science links as well for understanding key principles elsewhere. Nice initiative.

I guess for foreigners, first world countries, this is quite normal. However, here, at Brazil, this is the very first initiative where a private company decides to invest in research, aiming to keep innovative researchers working at Brazil.

The Markov Chains lecture has a huge 'meh!' feeling attached to it, I'd be better of not clicking on that PDF in the first place.

What about Linus Torvalds? Born: Linus Benedict Torvalds, December 28, 1969 (age 47), Helsinki, Finland I guess he's still coding, right? Does it count?

IBM's motto in Brazil is "Think", they didn't bother to translate it... Like the french, it would be "Pense" (imperative form), or "Pensez" in french, or "Pensemos" (let's think), in fr

That is a good list for Computer Science years 1950-1975, however, I would rather see important things that is relevant 1975-2015.

I believe that students feel that everything is possible to accomplish with a library, let's say, <list>. When you ask them to create a list by hand (using classes or structs), they simply don't know, because they always use
