They're releasing macOS a whole month earlier than usual, with fewer beta releases than usual. I believe this is the first time they will have released macOS and iOS on the same date.

When I got a job in academia and was faced with creating my first conference poster, I was amazed to discover PowerPoint is the customary software for creating them. It does a pretty good job, too.

This happens a lot in PDX and it makes me furious. It's like putting a hit out on the pedestrian crossing the street. I would like to see how the people honking their horns would like it if someone called for their death.

No, it's old, and an outdated mindset. Since 2004 Wikipedia has greatly matured and most educators have relaxed their stance on it. I'm a librarian and my take on Wikipedia is that it's a great starting point but you'd n

Evolution doesn't necessarily imply "new species" (species is actually a pretty vague term) and dictionary definitions are limited. Try this resource instead: https://evolution.berkeley.edu/evolibrary/art

There's a bunch of Electronic Lab Notebook platforms out there, someone already replied to you mentioning OSF. Others include Benchling and LabArchives. This Nature article is a good starting point, it has links to several universiti

Most todo apps don't really cater to the idea of a reusable list. Items effectively disappear once checked off, unless they're repeatable, in which case a new task is generated at the frequency you specify. There are lists of thin

This is excellent work! I've currently got all my reusable checklists in Remember the Milk, but they get lost in there among all my other hundreds of todos. I'm always surprised how few todo apps seem to target reusable lists, it&

Interesting. I've never been a patron of a public library in the United States that charged patrons fees for ILL, and neither of the universities I've attended charged for it, either. My own academic library where I work used to h

I think there was less awareness around ASD at the time and people didn’t really talk about it the way they do now. That said, it links to the classic “Fanspeak” at the bottom, which does mention Aspergers.

I read it before the stuff about the replicability issues surfaced and got around 75% through it. There’s useful stuff in it but it’s too long and I quit because it started to feel like he was repeating himself. He needed a better editor. A

Given that her research is heavily focused on how people learn how to program, I can't imagine that any recommendations she might have regarding speed reading code would not be informed by her research.

A cursory look at what I suspect is your GitHub profile reveals you could stand to learn something about good variable naming. Her research focuses on the cognitive processes involved in learning programming and teaching it effectively, whi

I self-diagnosed Aspergers in the mid 2000s. The primarily inattentive subtype of ADHD is a better match for my symptoms, particularly the social ones, but both my psychiatrist and neuropsychologist agreed that my self-diagnosis made sense

Since ADHD is a neurobiological disorder that people are born with, and because undiagnosed ADHD can cause depression, it should be ruled out before diagnosing depression. Same with anxiety.

There's a growing group of psychologists who say laziness is a myth. It doesn't exist. When someone is being what we would call lazy, there is almost always something else going on. https://humanparts.medium.com/la

I'm really glad to see that this is the top comment. This was my first reaction too, sounds a lot like ADHD.

It's ADHD when it seriously negatively affects your quality of life.

Yes yes yes to all of this! I was fortunate to have a local medical school with a psychiatry department that has an Adult ADHD clinic where I could seek a diagnosis at the age of 42. Unlike many adults who suspect they have ADHD, I was take

When I started my career in software testing 20 years ago, the Socratic method was my best friend. It's a great way to lead a developer to a bug. Instead of getting defensive, they're extremely motivated to fix it.

This approach is really common in academic libraries, but there candidates typically only get one topic so they can be more easily compared with each other.
