   The roads were shitty when I was a kid and they’re shitty now. No big apparent change to me.

   I loved Coursera’s Statistical Molecular Thermodynamics course taught by Chris Cramer from U. Minnesota. Mind expanding. Some calculus.

   I started working with HPC users three years ago and yes, they're the only ones who used "codes" that way. At least, the only ones in the last 30 years, I'm figuring - there is a reason we call it "code", and i

   The story isn’t about ammonia; it’s about Haber.

   I think Shallit is largely wrong. The Hof didn’t specifically cite syntax vs semantics but I think that’s what he’s saying and that’s what GT is doing.

    I use two voice interfaces at least a few times every day, and I think that’s becoming common. Alexa is being built into devices all over. Voice interfaces are obviously different from the subject of this piece.

    I’d never heard of that before, and my friends call me “Pizza Larry”. THANK YOU.

    I’m just reading the abstract at the moment, but this paper says that there was a -nuclear- explosion, not just a steam explosion?

    I also would like to see some corroboration. Like, really.

    Doctors' handwriting is notoriously bad, even archetypally bad. It's its own genre of humor.

    Foodbabe.com is not credible. The site and the woman behind it have been criticized and debunked up and down. They are pseudoscience and should not be cited.

    I'm skeptical that you actually learn more by using the command line vs. a GUI. Yes, if you need to do something subtle, you might have to learn something, and you might need to use the command line to do it. But you learn more because

    Oh, I remember, although in my mind's eye, the 16K expansion card was bigger, about as big as a graphics card of today.

    Typically a program like Ansible will have the majority of its use cases implemented in a minority of its code, while the rest of the code will be there to support special cases, edge cases, rare use cases, etc. So that contributes to the d

    I perceive it similarly, and marvel at some of the judgmental, parochial readings I see in comments above.

    It's all still quite new, and the drive to compete and gain market share keeps them separate, as it does in all industries. There will be consolidation in time. For now, it's a mixed blessing, but mostly a blessing.

    I think it's all sea salt, just varying by how recently it was in the sea.

    I'd dig good instant decaf. I don't want any caffeine but coffee can be delicious. Give me a shot at coffee snobbery!
