Another autohotkey based program is bug.n. http://www.autohotkey.net./~joten/bug.n.html It combines tiling with desktops similar to dwm or xmonad. Whenever I have to used windows, this is what I use.

I'm sorry but I've had all these problems and many more with traditional health care companies. As a diabetic I'm intimately familiar with the health care system. It's a hard space to work in and I'm happy to see st

It would have been nice to see R with c++. Using the Rcpp package you can write inline c++ for the heavy loops like a boss.

While spreadsheets are sub-optimal, the work was OPEN so people could find those bugs. We need to stop beating scientists who share their data because currently there is little incentive for them to do so. Most scientists do not make their

I used to think this was the case, but I use chrome in incognito mode ( and only for fb!) and I'm starting to get retargeted ads. I suspect they are using some sort of 3rd party on the backend. Moreover, it's not only ads now ...

This sounds awesome. I've been looking to build an alternative to Mint, but getting banking data (in an automated way) has always been a pain. I look forward to trying it out.

Could this also be called "data twerking" ?

Do we think that services like Mint are handing over all our financial data to the government (making it easy for them to have a picture of your entire finances)? If so, are there any viable, offline alternatives?

If you have cygwin, you can install gnome-terminal. I use it daily and it is awesome. Way better than console2 or any other windows based emulator I've tried. You may need to install it using Cygwin Ports though.

Could a sort of escrow be setup to manage these kind of issues? By this I mean that if the gene researcher finds something significant she can post it to a secure site with pre-established anonymized ID. The anonymous donor can check this s
