I don't think any of that seriously counts as real work. Casey Muratori addressed this years ago with the windows terminal drama, https://github.com/cmuratori/refterm

I think you're spot on, it is easier to prove (or prosecutors have more experience prosecuting) financial crimes. To give them credit-- they at least tried to get Holmes for defrau…

I'll always admire clojure. Loved the simplicity and philosophy, and I wrote a few toy projects. Unfortunately I felt like I could never really take advantage of the power of cloju…

You're not alone, I use noscript on firefox for exactly that. It makes some websites unusable, but for normal browsing, that's what I use. If the website is unusable after allowing…

Not exactly what you are looking for, but Open Secrets gets you almost there: https://www.opensecrets.org/federal-lobbying Their API leaves a lot to be desired, but the data is muc…

This is an important point. What have the journals done? Raised their prices and business as usual. Scientific editors do nothing for data validation. There is no accountability, e…

Excel is used as a database/storage/interchange format, especially after the initial analysis by someone who uses python or R. Bioinformatician does the analysis, then the PI wants…

It's definitely possible, but I guess what I am saying is that research in this area hasn't really been explored in the context of humans. In the lab, we use targeted genetic manip…

I don't know, I think that is a big jump and definitely not trivial. "Reading" neural activity is much different than "writing", and modifying the circuits/neural activity precisel…

I totally agree and had a very similar experience in graduate school. Writing about my experiences and things I had learned (technical and project management) had a huge impact on …

I am not qualified to get too in the weeds on the physics, but 'Resolution' is... complicated. Usually, when we talk about resolution we are talking about the ability to distinguis…

unfortunately not, for real superresolution (i.e. resolving below the diffraction limit of light) all the current methods require expensive (and very dangerous) lasers and microsco…

I am least familiar with SIM, but you can do live-cell SIM imaging for sure. The processing is a bit computationally intensive but not so bad (and can always be done post-hoc). The…

Most are, but in biology/physics STED[1] and STORM are physics based methods for overcoming the diffraction limit[2]. STED is pure physics, no math/deconvolution/AI tricks. [1] htt…

For anyone interested in 'real' super resolution, we use these techniques to overcome the diffraction limit in microscopy (my field is neuroscience): - https://en.wikipedia.org/wik…

I'm a neuroscience PhD candidate finishing up my degree and transitioning to gov/'industry' in ~ a month. I've had a great experience with great mentors, but there are MANY problem…
