The problem isn't who we praise, it's who we don't praise. Maybe we live in a different world today but my sense is scientific innovation happens in a very different way from the g…

I wonder if you just asked 1000 people to draw a spiral without any other context, would there be some handedness/chirality to the drawings? My guess is there would be. https://bri…

Yeah the author seems to be approaching their overall argument by first establishing that there's no primary source evidence from the time of castle building that the defense theor…

re: mutability you just have the standard be that the document being linked to is a sort of wrapper to the actual one. My guess is this is really what's going on with doi anyway. B…

Journals, even prominent ones, change names for all sorts of reasons. It doesn't happen often but it does happen. The meaningfulness issue can cut both ways. I think the real probl…

tbh I'm not dyslexic and realized the spaces make it really difficult to know what the filename actually is. If you just take the second example, how would you know if the file was…

Interesting, informative article that raises some good points. I've always been leery of holidays that celebrate, even if superficially, single individuals. If anything, this shows…

OSX, to make the instances and windows of a given program that are running more immediately and passively visible. It's too easy to lose track of open windows in the background on …

I generally leave them be or take them outside. House centipedes are a different matter. Those are usually eliminated on sight. I do have as a general rule that anything univited i…

I should edit this by saying I was confused: sucralose does seem to affect gut microflora, but only trehalose, as far as I know, has been linked to C diff. Still think it's worth k…

FWIW, sucralose has also been linked to C diff infection. It's worth maybe pointing out that this study was based on sucralose, just because it seems this sweetener is worth tracki…

I think (I would have to reread it more carefully) is Parisi's argument is that probabilistic models can sometimes be necessary even with deterministic systems that are well-charac…
