I agree, the system is very badly designed. Cars and bikes don't mix without carefully designed roads that make the lazy/default decision and the safe decision the same thing, because eventual complacency is human nature. > You

I also personally haven't had issues with this in Australia, but have seen it happen to friends who work in legal (many times).

My best guess is an over-zealous response to some content licensing deal.

There's something ironic about charging $75/month for this article.

A simple script that tallies up my cycling mileage based on Garmin activites, and makes me a reminder on my Google calendar when it's time to re-wax my chain. Scheduling the script to reliably run via Task Scheduler (Windows) was was i

I'm relatively new compared with you, but I've also found my MK3S+ to be super solid and output high quality stuff. I previously had a da Vinci Pro, and my best metaphor is that using the MK3S+ is like writing with a new pencil vs

Each environment can have its own version of python which downloads with everything else (venv would require separate system installs for this).

Consider that your distraction-seeking might be avoidance of some (potentially deep-seated) negative emotions associated with working or the task at hand.

Glucose is also known as dextrose for its dextral (right-handed) chirality. Which means that left-handed glucose should be sinistrose . What a name!

Apologies if this is a dumb question, but why does it go anticlockwise?

The biggest issue for me was that you have to update widgets from the gui thread. Doing it from other threads still works most of the time, but then you sometimes get weird unpredictable crashes.

Let's not forget Sunrise calendar, which Microsoft purchased and supposedly integrated into Outlook. I miss Sunrise calendar so much... I've yet to find an alternative that reads from other calendar services and task managers so w

>The author here points out that New Zealand's medical system doesn't always pay for CGMs, while the Australian system does. Only for under 21s, and only recently. Once you hit 21, the rug is pulled out from under you.

Makes perfect sense! This would help lead to low coupling and high cohesion.

Publishing the code does have some selfish benefits too: better chance of people building on your research (and citing it).

I think you're right. I've double checked their FAQ, which states that you can upload your preprint to Researchgate, but then they only explicitly mention arxiv for swapping the preprint with the accepted manuscript. I guess I&#x2

I'm one of the researchers whose had a paper removed. Confusingly, it was the 'accepted manuscript' version, which Elsevier explicitly states you may share [0]. It's very obviously watermarked too, by their own editorial

Platypodes is more correct than platypi, but I think that English rules apply once a word is a part of the English language (I don't know who decides that). So it should be platypusses.

Here's a gallery [1] of perceptually uniform colour maps, both lightness-varying and isoluminant (the latter are particularly useful in conjuction with hillshade filters). The maps are present in many libraries / languages. === [1

Playing around with a MVC architecture in Python with Qt as the front-end: https://github.com/tom-a-horrocks/qt-python-mvc . It feels nice to contain the signals, slots, and QObjects to the view.

I'm glad NASA is doing the right thing here. I hope that non-US organisations were also able to submit comment, as the potential consequences are truly global.

Makes sense when you're refactoring an existing function with one numeric argument, and which evaluates rapidly.

Not strictly related to procrastination, but the "just one tooth" method didn't work for me. Stuck with it for a few weeks, and then my motivation just tapered off. What worked was permanently bundling flossing with brushing.

Scott Alexander was a source for the article. He just wasn't the source for his name.

Maybe it's not your constitution weakening, but your empathy strengthening? If more people felt injustices like this in their gut, the world would be a much better place.

It's important to keep in mind that Zettelkasten's creator was an academic in the humanities. When I tried this system, I found it really shone when my goal was literature review -- i.e. to weave together arguments from disparate

Of course there is no proven interpretation, but I quite like MWI. From my understanding of the theory, the particle does not interfere with itself: the particle follows all possible trajectories in each different 'world', and we

Australian consumer rights exist independently of the warranty offered by the producer. My guess is that it's perfectly legal not to offer an explicit warranty (or one with very short duration), however, it is illegal to refuse refund&
