I find that there are two extremes--never enough pictures or too many pictures and not enough description of what I'm looking at. D'oh!

I think it is also worth nothing that Zuckerberg is (perhaps was?) quite talented at Latin and nearly went on to study Classics at Harvard.

My understanding is that their work is more like "coupling" than "entanglement" (as the media describes entanglement). From the abstract of their arXiv article, it sounds like what they're looking at is the motion o

There are two points regarding the relevance of organic chemistry to future doctors that the article could expand on further. 1. Organic chemistry is often the first class that a prospective future doctor takes that requires you to develop

Really cool. Also possibly of interest: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moons_of_Pluto I had no idea Pluto (not a planet) had five moons.

I think the title is an oversimplification. > To test this idea, they used slivers of wood from yellow pines. First, they coated these with carbon nanotubes, to improve their conductivity. Then they applied a film of tin to each sliver.

This webpage by the FDA [1] is also a simple and easy resource about generic drugs. The basic fact about generic drugs is that they have to contain the same active compound(s) and they have to match the bioavailability (active compound pres

Talking to other people in the field is a great way to find influential work. You can only read so many papers, but by talking to many other people, you expand your accessible information. Other people can mention that this paper is great o

I've heard a great deal of praise for Papers App (Windows, OS X, iOS) [1]. It'll cost you quite a bit though--$79. [1]: http://www.papersapp.com/papers/

One country that does it right is Canada--they try very hard to keep top talent in the country instead of going to their previous homes.

This doesn't look like a CS degree---this looks more like software engineering requirements. CS and SE focus on distinctly different things. I might suggest changing the page title.

Awesome project/website. The one thing I'm not terribly thrilled about is the infinite scroll--it's nice to have coherent page 1, page 2, etc so that you don't have to worry about scrolling down, clicking through a link, and then coming bac

Is typing comfortable with a standing desk? Every time I've used a computer at standing height, it's been a little uncomfortable, but they certainly weren't tailored to my height.

I believe this is the citation referenced. [1] It's unfortunately under a paywall. [1]: http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/anie.201203581/ab...

There is nothing intrinsically wrong about the idea of a car. It is what powers the car (currently gasoline) that is the problem. But the self-driving technology is applicable to electric cars, cars that run on fuel cells, what ever other m

A bad comment can waste a lot more time than the absence of a comment or a useless one (like x += n; //add n to x).

An empirical anecdote: when I was in high school, all of my lab reports for chemistry and physics were typeset in LaTeX while most of my friends either handwrote the mathematics or used MS Word's Equation Editor. There were multiple occasio

Nothing fancy. Either a shared folder in my home-directory for users on the same machine, or email. Most of my work is separate individuals showing off their data rather than working together on one dataset. That could be a cool feature tho

You know, if you're already on the command line, gnuplot and github already provide ~similar functionality. I can do the same in ~the same number of keystrokes if things are aliased properly. Also, keeping things local is nice.
