This is with electrons and solid state physics where the quantum effects show up at a few mK versus atomic BEC's which must be cooled to the 10's-100's of nK.

I've done a bit a research on this. Company uses DOORS and hates it. We've evaluated JAMA and Polarion (both expensive) and both are better than DOORS. JAMA has a nice JIRA integration. Polarion can be integrated it seems but unte

"closed physical system" being the operative word. Mass and energy is leaving, thus the average temp decreases but so does the particle count.

I'd probably import from google scholar, which allows export to BibTex, EndNote, RefMan and CSV.

"The experimentalists work is often portrayed as 'dull and technical' and they only worry about the details, whereas the theorist dreams up these wild theories in flights of genius. I can't speak for anyone else, but thi

I know multiple well-adjusted, happily married entrepreneurs. They went through many-year periods of extreme stress, week-to-week "will I have to close shop this week" trials, and 0 vacation when starting their business. Before st

"as a young researcher moving to the private sector, he’s had to prove himself all over again." This is true and is worth anyone making the switch keeping in mind. Commercial companies want a commercial track record before they tr

An article that contains a bunch of anedotes to refute another article that contains a bunch of anecdotes. Hmm... I want to see the data of where they go and determine from that.

"Time spent at table doesn't age you" is one of my favorite sayings. The real soylent sickness isn't replacing locally sourced, farm-to-table food with disgusting "food", as the author claims. The real soylent

Honest answer: I didn't come across any obscure references. You may not be the target audience. If you've gone through a great books/ classical education these characters and themes are all familiar. Very familiar if you read

Your comment seems to be a complete non-sequitur to this article. Buzzword1+Buzzword2 = interesting. Why? What part? What application?

I was curious about this too. Age 25-54 men in US: 52.3 million. Currently 11.4% are out of workforce, compared to 8.5% in 2000. 2013 statistics: "As of last September, more than 1.6 million military members who’d been deployed in what

"If you can’t simulate inertia, you’re not delivering VR, you’re delivering nausea!" This seems to be the main thing. There's a basic user need that's effectively impossible to deliver short of a SEGA AS-1 type machine..

This is about as legit of ETI search as there can be (real data, experimental design, and publication). Nice to have some sanity in the search (albeit, their enthusiasm is clear). At best they find ETI, at worst they discover some strange c

Article discusses inequality, not quality and prices. In a free market, quality and prices will (eventually) optimize for what the market can sustain. What the market can sustain may be _very_ unequal for the rich and poor in the market.

Ok, this tweaks my curiosity. Why would one put SSL on a static personal/blog type website (assuming one doesn't care about the google penalty)?

I'm not disagreeing with your statement, and the harassment of authors is definitely not ok. But it's worth saying that pen-name !=anonymous. For most publications, you can put articles you write under a pen-name and have the publ

Note: this post is just the overview. There are a bunch more posts on the site ( https://agilemeddev.com/ ) at the site that deep dive into each of the parts. It seems to be a helpful framework to work from.

I have to agree. I've found many helpful resources and people through our corporate yammer (fortune 200 company). It's the perfect tool for "hey I'm struggling with __, got any recommendations?" in very large corpor
