I briefly looked into this myself ( earlier in my life ) and decided that the "make a boatload and distribute it yourself" method really wouldn't help that much in scientific funding overall . Even if you made 10 million

There's a small but growing amount of "research software engineers", people who attempt to bring professional-level software development to scientific research, and help scientists achieve their goals (example org: https:&#x

Why does working a Bullshit Job have to be about ritual or tribal identity or anything else, when the most important thing in that person's life is putting food on the table? Even if a job is bullshit, there isn't enough of a soci

Have you tried Pandoc[0]? It's the best, simplest solution I've been able to find for writing content in Markdown, and then almost trivially exporting that same content into PDF manuscripts, or PDF presentations, or HTML presentat

That ComputerLanguages repo, wow! This is really awesome! And far, far superior to my own store/collection of helpful links by language by far :(. I may just stop altogether collecting helpful links on languages I may never, ever use,

Do they have the mathematical power to say it's unidentifying information? Is it just that that information, on its own, isn't identifying, or is the test that, with all the other information on the internet, it's still not i

Another PhD student, in computational neuroscience (modeling of thalamocortical circuits). The difference between the level of code-sharing and code community between general purpose software and scientific software is just astounding. In c
