My wife does have a doctorate degree and you still get the back-and-forth of citations. Because she has a PhD in nutrition (really!) I can confirm that, yes, it is okay to eat eggs. (Though I'd shoot for organic and cage-free, personal

There actually has been quite a bit of work on this front. DrScheme, for example. It's a very, very hard problem, though. And computers cannot, in general, figure out what's wrong with broken code.

I'm not sure you're using the term "ASCII" correctly. There are virtually no characters in ASCII that aren't printed on a key on a typical US keyboard. Especially when you say "with a font that has all the nece

Do you know TeX/LaTeX? If not, sounds like you should learn it. It's all my mathy friends use for taking notes.

I would tell you that my FB email address has that format, but maybe I'd be leaking too much information by doing so....

My heart rate data has been similarly interesting. For example, I'm a musician for my church band. You can see the spike when I'm doing the lead vocals on a song I don't know that well. It repeats in each of the three service

I don't think it's too much to expect readers to do a little googling about a company they aren't familiar with. This was an excellent article whether or not you know anything about moz.com, and finding out is easily remedied

Walter Willett has published some good research on the link between milk and cancer. It's in his book, and he spoke on it when my wife and I went to go see him speak recently, but I don't have a good non-blog link to give you righ

My wife has a PhD in nutrition, so I don't think it's overstating things at all. We're well-aware of how nutrition studies are done and their limitations, but these are clear results shown in study after study for years. I wo

I had the same experience. I love love love printf() and it's ilk, so switching to something else (no matter how well designed) seemed asinine at first. But .format() has really started to grow on me and did uncover some subtle bugs

I would disagree that there's no "exposure" component for many of those other cancers. * Eating red meat * Eating processed meat * Drinking 3+ glasses of milk daily * Inadequate levels of vitamin D These are all well-known to

Some of us have been using Unix tools a very long time. For example, I'm pretty sure I started using tar and gzip in 1995.

I think algorithm design is hard. Most students/people can't break down a problem into small enough steps for the computer to do them. Are you familiar with the concept of "chunking" in memory research? Well, computers

Coding is, in fact, quite hard. But that doesn't mean no one can learn it. Playing the saxophone is quite hard but a lot of students learn how every year, to varying degrees of skill.

Your perspective is incorrect. I've made my living by teaching beginners to code. I have been doing it for the better part of two decades, and I specialize in teaching students that have little aptitude for it. I make my students code

Maybe I'm just old, but I don't think of "ASCII art" and "graphical characters" as belonging together. Traditionally, ASCII art is limited to ASCII 32-126 plus tabs.

Agreed. This is the straw that nudged me back to Chrome after experimenting with Firefox for a month or so. I just couldn't bear doing without comment thread folding.

Maybe that's why I enjoy my Nexus 7 tablet so much. I have never owned a laptop, nor do I want one. I want a tablet so I can get to IMDB with a largish screen while sitting on the couch, not so I can do work.
