" Imagine if eating the wrong thing wrecked your insides, but eating the right thing only gave you tremendous pain, cramping, and poops." Not only do the things that you mention do that, but also things like salads :(. Trying to l

Oh yeah? I have looked and looked for it but been unable to find any reference to how to do so. Would you mind linking a resource to me? edit: Nevermind I found a few. When I looked for this a few years ago I just kept hitting dead ends.

I don't disagree. Fortran is brilliant at what it does.... but I find many of its object oriented features to be very obtuse compared to C and C++. The way it uses pointers drives me insane. Building certain datastructures in fortran j

"In times where compilers are smart enough to basically rewrite and change code for performance reasons it is completely inexcusable that the order of source arguments to process is still that relevant." After reading the comments

I don't and I suspect a lot of other people don't either.

I find the requirement for an active Github account to be questionable. 99% of the code I write is owned my someone else. I do after all work for a living. I wonder how true this is of many other people too. If I am writing code at home th

After reading the solution presented, what strikes me is that there is very little new math in it. Before you jump down my throat let me explain as this is quite an impressive effort. Equation 7 bears a striking resemblance to what you woul

Honestly I feel like this is an even bigger problem in the natural sciences. In my experience journals want strong and interesting positive results. They rarely want negative results unless it is debunking a previous result that seemed inte

I am not entirely sure what is new here. I knowpeople that have been doing this for years. The Channel GREENPOWERSCIENCE has done many videos on exactly this.

I agree with you in as far as it makes a great multiplayer element. In the vs the computer game it is a bit of a crapshoot though. Working with different world leaders is not something that is possible. You can't sit there and strategi

It is interesting to hear them talk about the game getting complex. I think in the latest version they hit that wall with the world government. It is probably one of the most unfun and distracting features that Civ games have gotten. I do t

Unfortunately there are several stories floating around where the law abiding gun owner was at the far end of the house and had enough time to get a gun out and fire through the door at the calamity coming forth. Which has frequently lead t

You are probably one of the few. But I wouldn't buy too much into the argument that their rates have to go up. Internet speeds are higher and congestion are lower in many other countries where their rates are cheaper. I think there is

I am almost certain it wasn't included for some reason like that. I also suspect that they were using an outmoded version of fortran. Clicking the extra links would tend to validate that suspicion. Also performance of fortran code is q

That is if we accept the assumption that this was well written modern fortran code. Since they don't actually show the fortran it is hard to say. I looked through the referenced posts and all of those are using fortran 77. Furthermore

The xml files can be huge, but wavefunction files in general tend to be. The main point being that it allows for direct access to the files for custom code work. I can quantify a little slow with a specific research experience. This isn&#x2

I actually use Quantum Espresso rather extensively in my own research. It should work quite well with an interface like this. It has a sub-program pp.x specifically designed to make common plots out of the programs output. I can tell you th

I remember when something like this was being done during the manhunt for the boston bombers. It was pretty exciting the rate at which updates were coming. THere were people in the stream who lived there live updating things. It is amazing

I wonder how much patent licencing adds to the cost. The author mentioned how wonderful of an idea this bimetallic strip was, but that means someone invented it and someone probably holds a patent on it. How much does it cost to use that in

I think this is due to the fact that many many years ago logic used to be taught in highschool and all of those concepts would have seemed significantly less foreign.

Low pass filters are absolute miracles when working with numerical derivatives. I have had instances where that was the only reason I ever got anything meaningful out of them. It really comes down to the fact that the numerical representat

For me I was always reassured by everyone who mattered to me that with a degree in physics I could go just about anywhere because my analytically skills would open doors. Hearing that day in and day out breed in a sense of brainwashedness.

I am currently about a year away from my PhD in computational physics and chemistry and looking out towards the future I have very similar sentiments to this professor. Finding a decent job in academia is very very difficult. Even when you

Given the skill level and investment required to get a competitive STEM degree and the amount of profits a STEM person can produce for a company's long term profits I think that they are actually potentially underpaid.

I frequently ask myself that same question. I wish I had an answer for you. I could attempt to answer it but the NSA would probably put me on a no fly list or something as a limited form of extrajudicial punishment. Or maybe I am paranoid.

This is why laws need change logs for when they are modified. I knows bills have something of the sort, but they are hard to follow. Anyone who finds a specific set of laws relevant can subscribe to them and get an email when the law is cha
