Agreed. The first post from a PS team member was essentially "no, we don't want to do that, if you have a problem with it open an RFC" ... only later when it was plainly obvious that they were wrong did they agree to do the R

Not bad. I spent a year as a CS major in undergrad and programming is something that I did as a hobby for most of college and grad school, so even without a degree, I had a pretty decent resume for entry-level positions.

I just finished a PhD in Biochemistry. It's accurate (I got a job as a programmer)

My favorite: "But we never hear about the people who’ve been hurt – like all the students at places like Harvard and Stanford who no longer have better access to the scientific literature than hoi poloi at lesser institutions."

It's not. If it were, it wouldn't be called "training".

I don't think it has much to do with unionization at all so much as that there is generally an overabundance of students applying to graduate school. Combined with the fact that the NIH/NSF more or less set the wages anyway, there

Also, they are using ALSA instead of PulseAudio. In my experience, the latter deals with multiple sources much better, to the point that I can even route and combine sources for streaming.

Yeah, but remember there are far more grad students obtaining PhD's than faculty positions - in other words, sure, not many who make it to faculty leave, but far more people leave than stay overall.

Abstracting away the messiness of classes in JS is justification enough for CS, IMHO. Also, to use your above example, I agree understanding that style of JS is important, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't use the tool.

Monoamine Oxidase Inhibitor(s). Many antidepressants fall into this category. MAOI's inhibit the enzyme that cleans up several endogenous molecules, like serotonin, and some drugs, like the amphetamines.

Because Somalia was such a paradise back when it had a government... 'Free market' does not necessarily imply no government. Most libertarians wholeheartedly agree that bringing harm to another, either directly by initiating vio

Very nice. I've been doing some table extraction from PDFs recently. Also check out PDF2JSON for nodejs-based parsing - it grabs all the texts and positions so you don't have to 'intercept' draw calls and dumps them out

Yes. No way they're going to spray it in their mouths, caffeine is horribly bitter. Assuming it absorbs well through the skin, this is advantageous as a delivery system because it won't go through first-pass metabolism by the live

That seems like an arbitrarily high standard for using a library. If someone wants to use jQuery so that they can use $() instead of document.getElement() is that really so bad? Libraries as a level of abstraction so that the user only has

I don't know how familiar you all are with the Montessori method, but I spent Preschool through 5th grade in one and it worked out quite well for me. Basically I had a list of things that needed to get done every week, so I would get t

Second. I'd also like to point out that I am a cat person and also feel bad about not being able to spend more time with my cats while I'm in the lab all day!

I guess my question is, do they still have a patent on any BRCA1/2 cDNA or only that specifically created according to their method?

by unmei 13y ago
But they surely don't have a patent on all cDNA synthesis techniques, especially given that that is a highly generic technique (it should fall under the "obvious from previous art" criteria). So other companies should be ab

I have one, I love it. Running Linux Mint 15 with Cinnamon. One thing to watch for is that some kernel versions don't work well with the function keys or bumblebee (for optimus support). I'm running 3.9.4 now and it works quite well. edit
