I think it's this one https://www.nature.com/nnano/journal/vaop/ncurrent/full/nnan...

I practice taijiquan, a martial art. My teacher often describes concepts that I can relate to basic mechanics. When I do, it feels like I understand, but as my teacher says -- unti…

https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/trump-picks-top-c... Is this what you consider cleaning up our mess?

I thought Michael Moore's reasons were pretty on point: http://michaelmoore.com/trumpwillwin/ Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin were indeed critical to the election, thoug…

I only use the search when I know what app I'm looking for. Wouldn't that would drive up the numbers artificially -- as I had the intention of downloading the app before I began se…

It's also how muscles work, isn't it? A ton of tiny myosin heads pulling in parallel.

Show me a society that is pure anything. Capitalism is an idea among many ideas that influence society -- pure capitalism doesn't exist in the real world.

Funny story I have with Dropbox: I was setting up my new desktop to dual boot Debian and Windows. In the interest of saving space, I tried to have Dropbox in both systems target th…

Being able to read English is a different skill from being able to write it. A lot of the Chinese students I know can understand it mostly fine but have trouble writing coherently …

UCSC has the sequenced strains loaded in their genome browser, too, if it interests you http://genome.ucsc.edu/cgi-bin/hgTracks?db=eboVir3

It looks like it is software to exploit vulnerabilities in the USB implementation to do some very nasty stuff with the target computer.

When I was learning C, I would write my program, then run it step-by-step in the debugger (I was using Visual Studio at the time) until it was pointless to do so because I knew wha…

Is the definition of talent that one does something noteworthy on a regular basis? I think that Phil Fish video that he linked really hit the nail on the head.

I think that's exactly why he's not going to get what he wants. He's not going to have a normal life with the comforting blanket of anonymity again.

Well if that's how you're analyzing it, the writer is female -- Julia Belluz.

Yeah, the eggs are the best. Love them raw over rice.

I thought it wasn't uncommon for some reptiles to continue growing for their entire lives? Don't fish do it too? Edit: it also says on wikipedia that they slow down in adulthood, s…

tbh, if it changes anything, Google ought to hire more privacy advocates.

From the article it seems like some of the symptoms are associated with inadequate sensing or awareness of social cues. That makes me wonder if taijiquan is a good exercise to help…

Why not the ipython notebook, in that case?

It's disingenuous to claim a DSL is part of the language syntax. E.g. I would not consider the regex formatting specification as Python syntax. I mean, if we follow that line of th…

It's a toy example; he's just trying to show how currying works, rather than why you should use it. If anything, it does show that one useful thing about partial application is tha…
