I can't comment on the field of psychiatry. However, I will comment on my field of physics. The author seems to completely neglect the signal to noise problem. There has been an explosion of journals and scientific publication. It

Hi! I just read the paper--impressive work! Have you tried any other languages? For example, French or German?

I had a high school student working with me last summer who did some development on it (no previous experience with unity/c#). His goal was to visualize crystal structures. My main comment is that the FOV is small and the question

Another possibility is this: https://docs.python.org/3/howto/cporting.html If either their library (or a dependency) depends on something which binds to C, it could take some effort to make it python 3 compatible.

I lean to the left, but I enjoy the writings of McArdle: https://www.bloomberg.com/view/contributors/megan-mcardle who is solidly libertarian. She tries to argue her point logically, and in cases where I still d

One other thought comes to mind--the submission pattern of different subfields of science vary tremendously. There are also questions of expediency--for example, perhaps a student was graduating and they decided that the work would be pub

I've published in Nature, Nature Communications, Nature Materials, Scientific Reports, etc. also in physics. Perhaps my impression is wrong, but Scientific Reports does have editors in different subfields and I didn't find the r

In my field (physics) I find that an increasing number of journals allow supplemental materials. You provide the main story in the text, but can add a lot in the supplemental materials. For example, suppose we have discovered a new materi

But, wouldn't he have to pay for Twilio? I love the Twilio API, but if he's running a fee service with a lot of users, that must be a consideration...

I think this can be very field dependent. I am a physicist and perhaps I am overly optimistic. However, I find that the existence of supplemental materials is helping things a lot. Generally, in an paper (in experimental physics), you

This. Where I work, a lot of the scientists use matlab. Transferring from that to matplotlib is relatively simple. Also, making publication quality graphics is what I use it for. If I want to make something interactive these days, I te

I'll chime in with also highly recommending the Two Scoops book! It was nice to see their design philosophy. I worked with several older releases of Django and found their thoughts on CBV helpful in deciding when/when not to us

Thank you for this! I currently use vtk and Mayavi, but this looks extremely convenient!

This is not my field, but a serious question--I once read that part of the motivation of pharmaceutical companies in hiring researchers was not so that they would all produce ground breaking independent research, but rather because they wou

The following article has an interesting treatment of interpretability: https://arxiv.org/pdf/1606.03490.pdf

Hi! I develop early stages of Django apps on windows (it's probably bad practice, but I usually wait to test postgres until I am on a linux box--or if I am developing on a mac--we're oddly platform agnostic where I work). I hav

I think the scenario they are describing is for say math/physics PhDs who are transitioning to data science. During their degrees, they concentrate on research, so they don't (on average) have real software engineering experience

I would second google scholar, with a way to edit imports. Will you add an option to export to PDF--it's nice to have a single source of truth. For example, I maintain my CV as a rst file which I then can use to either generate html

I found this to be an interesting article and I'm left with mixed feelings. On the one hand, it may be that the article that they published was lacking in scientific merit--however, if it had passed peer review and was to be publish

Should you be able to publish academic research under a pseudonym?(washingtonpost.com)

At least on stairs, I think this is a solvable problem: https://www.technologyreview.com/s/601240/an-impressive-walk... In terms of off-the-shelf: http://makezine.com/2015/05/01/meet

Actually, the cool thing about AG is that it doesn't just use MCTS, but that it adds in deep learning and reinforcement learning :-) I was surprised by how readable their paper was! Here's a link: http://www.nature.com

I'm a physicist and went to a number of Vipassana retreats. I also disagreed with the science comments and was fairly agnostic on the reincarnation comments. But, in Goenka's favor, he basically says, ignore all of the metaphysi

I had the exact same thought--it's unfortunate that this happened, but some good might come of it as a randomized control trial...

In science, it's common to run one week schools on various topics for graduate students and young postdocs. When software is involved, we spend a lot of time dealing with the students' installation issues. I tried the VM appro

Just curious--where does ResearchGate fit into all of this? I see constant requests where people ask for papers, but is it actually legal to give them out? There is an interesting discussion here: https://www.researchgate.net&#

Taking a quick look at the blog, I believe that the author is simply trying to lead up to quantum monte carlo. I'm not a theorist, but the basic idea is that we have a pretty good understanding of quantum mechanics. But in materials

I find my boogie board works really well as an input device! I believe you can also set it up to transmit to a webpage.

I'm a physicist and we routinely publish on the arxiv. I hope the chemists are next (a number of chemistry journals ban preprints)!!!
