I very much have had the same experience as the author with research libraries. I have learned so many life-changing techniques and derivations from books that were two or three do…

We covered yew extensively in toxicology class in vet school, but I didn't know about any animals that eat the berries. My favorite fact about yew is that the Iowa State Lloyd Vete…

Of the communities mentioned that I recognized, most were retirement-aged communities. In that case, wouldn't age demographics alone explain the population differences?

My personal gripe with Ente is that they seem to value making new half-baked products over making their current products feature-complete. Case-in-point: RAW photos are still not s…

My college has replaced textbooks with internet resources and "current academic literature," but I'm shocked at the number of people who can't interpret a scientific article, nor p…

In the animal world, the genomic vaccine revolution has led to two new types of vaccine being produced. 1. The Autogenous vaccine, where a veterinarian submits swabs of offending o…

> A key assumption in my argument is that the marginal benefit of spending more time on an exam is always nonnegative That is a very bold assumption, and I doubt the data supports …

The first argument actually leans in favor of LaTeX or Typst as a better replacement for Docx. A LaTeX or Typst document can contain both the content and formatting together within…

> I don't think Julia really solves any problems that aren't already solved by Python. But isn't the whole point of this article that Matlab is more readable than Python (i.e. solv…

I'm not sure I understand your point. You're saying that channels are like apt/sources.list or yum.repos.d, and flakes are like the Apple App Store? Or the other way around? One th…

> The flakes were the main UX/DX improvement for me. Before them I honestly could not do anything. Agreed. I think flakes are far more intuitive than channels. In a flake everythin…

I've started experimenting with Typst for a few documents, and here's my stack: - Zed editor with Typst plugin - Tinymist LSP settings turned on to render on save in Zed, see https…

Bureau of Labor Statistics says that the mean annual wage of "Automotive Technicians and Repairers (SOC code 49-3020)" is $55,780 as of May 2025, so yeah, something doesn't add up.…

I remember hearing about that rumen swap experiment. One of my professors at the time said that more substantial changes could be affected by doing repeat rumen content swaps.

Hugo includes native KaTeX: https://gohugo.io/functions/transform/tomath/ The docs recommend setting up KaTeX CSS (which requires either a CDN link or Node), but by changing output…

> Is this normal for the machine? No, it's not "normal," but it is fairly common. When I worked in NGS, nearly 1/4 of flow cells were duds. ONT used to have a policy where you coul…

I think all elected officials plug their ears when they hear this. I know the governors of Wyoming gave land away to NCAR and Microsoft talking about how they were going to "divers…

Was this in any way inspired by Fireship's recurring gag, "Tinder for Horses?"

Except Apple code signing on MacOS is basically what Google is trying to copy over to Android. I can run arbitrary programs on MacOS, but I have to go and remove the com.apple.quar…

I don't have any great ideas on how to do it right - I'm in the "don't know what I don't know" phase of electronics. Part of the reason I quit playing with electronics was that I a…

Cool idea. I grew up with the most basic Snap Circuits kit[1] and a solderless breadboard kit from RadioShack[2] - other toys you might look to for inspiration. I think I was about…
