Practically speaking, none I can think of. But I completely disagree that the networking aspect has no benefit.

At least in my discipline, authors either retain copyright to their manuscript and can disseminate that freely, or they are able to personally disseminate the final published article (sometimes including on their own website). No copyright

One guidance for the ethical side are the guidelines agreed upon by professional associations. I can't think of any that condone copyright infringement.

So why not email the corresponding author? I have yet to not get (or give) a manuscript that way. From my own perspective, each time I respond I'm possibly getting another citation. It's also a great form of networking.

If they want to seriously engage regulated industries like finance, medical, energy, etc., they need to. As it stands now, an association with them is suspect.

Silicon Valley and YC don't exactly have a stellar reputation for ethical behavior. Having a "pirate website" at the top of the news page doesn't exactly change that perception. I totally get that journals are evil, and

I find this is generally a poor place for hardware-related startups. Places to check (and network with)—I'd try checking in with your university's tech transfer office: they might be able and willing to clue you into recently-form

I'm not a big FTIR person, but at least for Raman, laser power is far less important than the linewidth (and you definitely don't need a pulsed laser) and the rest of the optical engine. I'm actually pretty bearish across th

If you consider it functional, Common Lisp is still used by some very large and established companies: the Lisp HUG mailing list (LispWorks) will frequently have email signatures from some of them. There is some truth to the notion that CL

The right way to do that would be with FTIR or Raman spectroscopy, and this sensor is capable of neither. At best, this is an ersatz replacement for the tunable filter on a hyperspectral imaging system. There are some advantages (off hand,

I agree, the choice of programming language is one of the less important parts of the SDLC. In the case of Rust for SC work, as the linked article alludes to, what doesn't make sense to me is that there is no industrial-grade tooling o

I go by what I thought was the accepted definition, which is a failure or error presenting a risk for temporary or permanent harm to people. Financial risk like data loss would fall under mission critical.

> Rust’s strengths are Clojure’s weaknesses, and vice-versa. Rust isn’t as expressive or interoperable, and its concurrency story isn’t as complete. That said, it’s much better for performance or safety critical needs, and it can be embe

Funny you mentioning L4... based on the HN title, my first thought/hope was someone got seL4 running with the NetBSD userland.

If you're going to use the backlight it's a worthwhile upgrade. Otherwise, not sure.

by lambdaelite 11y ago
Yeah, I wasn't clear on the versions. At night, I have to use level 7 on the backlight for comfortable reading without any other lights on. It's noticeably blue to my eyes at that setting. I get that Amazon's trying to make

Yawn. I upgraded from a Paperwhite 1 to a Voyage because I thought the screen and haptic buttons would be improvements. I can barely see a difference in the screen quality when I'm deliberately looking (and don't notice any while

Moleskine paper is notorious for feathering and bleeding when used with fountain pens, even fairly dry writers. I've actually had better luck with a no-name bound book from Office Depot than I have had with Moleskines.

by lambdaelite 11y ago
Happy to help! I myself just learned about that nuance the other day.

by lambdaelite 11y ago
I don't understand why the Moleskine brand has grown so popular when the paper quality is so poor relative to other manufacturers, e.g. Rhodia/Clairefontaine.

Were you using encrypted Google, or via !g on DDG? The trick only works through the non-encrypted one.

Anecdotes? Sure. My wife loves to trade options. I generally avoid them, except for buy-writes. Across investments, she enjoys taking higher risk positions than I. I can't say that gender doesn't play a role, and it would make sen

I think caution is advised at applying these studies broadly, as you are doing. Not only are they done on WEIRD populations, but a limited subset of that grouping.

> A dual income couple can tolerate more risk, but in my experience they are unwilling. After marriage, a couple's risk tolerance skews a lot closer to a woman's risk tolerance than to a man's. How is someone's gender
