I'm a computational biologist. If I read a paper where the results of an analysis are presented, but the code used is not, that analysis is worthless. Thankfully, in computational biology & bioinformatics at least, open source is widespread and growing.

Every programmer knows that every programmer makes mistakes. Lots of them. Mistakes that can completely change the outcome of an analysis. And if the results of your analysis are to be taken seriously, people have to be able to trust them, which means they have to be able to check your working.

Not publishing your code is anti-science, selfish, and IMHO should be disallowed in the literature.

This didn't work for me, it did something very strange.

I have nginx set up to listen on ssl and proxy everything to my python backend in plain http (as well as serve static files)

Installing the pagespeed module (without even turning it on), caused nginx to revert to the default config (it just served the default nginx index.html and 404'd everything else) after the 3rd or 4th request.

Any ideas why this would happen?

I love that Reddit. I use it to practice my websearch skills. When I have some knowledge about something I know what words to use, so going to that subreddit gives me a bunch of stuff where I have no knowledge at all, and I need to learn the right words to use.
Yup, it sure is noisy. But let me indulge in my (not so realistic, but still potentially feasible) thought experiment :)

What if it turns out there is actually a predictable pattern to the noise on a ceramic surface. Perhaps there is a way that the molecules fit together that mean there is a few rules that govern the noise, such that we can then indeed remove it from any "recordings".

Or maybe there's some mathematical properties of noise that are yet to be understood which allow us to remove it correctly.

Or perhaps there is some arm of science which doesn't even exist yet (in the same way quantum computing didn't exist so long ago).

There's almost a sub-Reddit for everything so making recommendations is a bit like recommending your favorite bands, but some I particularly enjoy are..

/r/business, /r/coding, /r/cogsci, /r/compsci, /r/compscipapers, /r/etymology, /r/html5, /r/javascript, /r/LifeProTips, /r/programmerhumor, /r/programming, /r/tinycode, /r/wheredidthesodago

In a way it's a bit like the new Usenet, at least in terms of being able to pick and choose from so many different topics.

You should put things back into context, because I don't think the parent poster targeted you specifically; most obese people aren't obese because of chronic illnesses but because of lifestyle choices (most of the time, having been fed and addicted to unhealthy food since childhood; thus the lifestyle choice might as well be blamed unto parenting shortcomings, which could be blamed their onto poverty and lack of sanitary regulation on food...).
Galaxy S4 Display Technology Shootout
Reddit have said they're opposed to the concept of 'killfiles', which improve the experience for the person using them but not for the group as a whole. Reddit prefers you to downvote comments that shouldn't be there.

That can be good when you get the right subreddit.

And we used to have DejaVu (then Google) keeping all of Usenet, and it's now available. There have been some important (for computing) announcements made on Usenet and it would have been a shame to have lost those. I can imagine Reddit could get to the point where people make announcements there; and it's gently worrying that no-one is archiving this kind of stuff.

On the one hand it's a major source of income swiped away underneath them. But on the other hand, if this source of income was property in the hands of only a few (I'm not at all sure if/how this is the case), shaking things up may have very different consequences (also not necessarily good ones btw).
Valid.

But they are presenting the methodology they claim went into the code and allowing you to agree or disagree with the methodology. If you agree, you take their answer, if you disagree, you implement a different methodology, which necessitates new code anyways, and publish your contra-finding.

We usually converge on answers over years of varying different methods and attempts. No one in their right mind reads a paper and says "well, they found out the sun is actually in M31, I believe that now" They look at the culmination of the literature (fun fact, we still aren't positive exactly where the sun is, or how fast it's moving) and I suppose that is the black box.

What I was really referring to though was students who walk up to me and say they gaussian smoothed a sample, and have no idea what I mean when I ask if 3 sigma outliers were used in the fit or trashed. They just used some gaussSmooth algorithm and may or may not know what a gaussian even is.

Control your eating. More Protein, more veggies. Eating in a way that is healthy and keeps your weight down is not expensive. A few bodyweight exercises can be done several times a week and take only a few minutes. It's possible to be in good shape and lean even if you are poor. If you want too.
For asm.js to be 90% slower than c++, it would have to run at 10% the speed of c++, not 51% of its speed, which is what the data shows. 100% slower is not 1/2 the speed, it's no speed at all.

Take some speed x. Increasing it by 100% gives 2x. Decreasing it by 100% gives zero.

Expressed another way, 100% of x is x. Add 100% = 2x, Subtract 100% = zero. The original claim is "90% slower." Clearly the OP either meant 51% slower or 49% slower, depending on how one reads it.

a = 2.62

b = 5.19

a / b = 0.5048, or 50.48%: "b has 50.48 percent the speed of a".

I see what they are getting at, I was recently traveling with an android phone, iPad, and macbook. I generally like to keep my photos organized in aperture but between android, drop box, iPhoto trying to import my pictures, galleries I had exported from aperture to Facebook, and being unfamiliar with how to manage photos on my phone there wound up being versions all over the place. I lost track of the canonical versions, and have sets with some reduncies. So if o want to get them all, I think I'm going to import all the photo sets into aperture and sort it out

An app that could help with this would be great. What's even more annoying is the confusion that comes with managed libraries I'm the Apple apps. Unless you're paying a lot of attention, those files are pretty much taken out of the file system already (the photos that is).

What Younity is attempting here sounds very interstating, but what a challenge! How can you do effective backups if you don't know where all of your files? Is the idea to have some kind of super cloud sucker thing that backs up all of your chaotic files and structure/state?

Good luck with this, I think you might have a great product

Agreed - there is plenty of work for non-PhDs in both the buy and sell side. Quant developers are often possess undergraduate degrees, particularly in CompSci. Not much need for a PhD in the vast majority of systems development.

I'm a politics junkie/anorak for Australia/UK as well as multiple other countries and polities.

I have been completely dissatisfied with the precipitous decline, as well as pay-walling, of broadsheets over the last decade and a half that I've been a regular reader. They simply can't do serious coverage because adverts demand they do lowest common denominator reporting. Also I want more than one side to a story and basically all papers, whether they like to declare it or not, have a position and so I end up at least going to two broadsheets to settle my mind on an issue.

Reddit was good for a while but the memes, insults, manipulation of multiple subreddits by racist groups (/r/worldnews, /r/europe) and the bashing down of anything that isn't left-wing on others (again, I want to see all points of view) got me very tired of it.

Twitter is good, but there is so much you can miss, links aren't headlines and I have absolutely zero interest in the meme-like jocularity and 'what I had for lunch' postings. Although discovery is fairly good it's entirely subject to the filter bubble effect and people are often ranting to a select group of yes-women and yes-men.

I want clustered news and opinion, and I want it ranked globally not against my own personal filter bubble. As there is nothing out there that fits my reading pattern I have started building http://jkl.io . However crowdfunding hasn't worked to get it going beyond a prototype and so it's going to be longer development cycle to add further features like machine learning (plus votes) ranked comments. But hopefully all that will be done by the end of the year as well as different views and ways of getting into the data. That said, it's now at a stage where it's genuinely my first stop before all the others, and once there are more sources, comments and the like, it will be the perfect overview - for me personally, perhaps not for others - of news/politics/policy/economics/science/tech across the world.

Also: criticism here would be most welcome, my other thread asking for feedback from HN never caught on.

The one hosting I'd recommend is of course Shelly Cloud: https://shellycloud.com/ I'm a co-founder and I can tell you we have everything you asked for:

- Super easy deployment. Just as in Heroku you just do a git push and we take care of the rest. We also offer integrated setup for databases and file storage, so deployment of Ruby applications is even more streamlined than on Heroku.

- Super easy maintenance. We take care of monitoring, and broken processes and machines are replaced automatically. You also get logs and backups for free.

- Great support. We're Ruby programmers ourselves and we're easily approachable. Even if you're not our client feel free to visit our Campfire room at http://support.shellycloud.com/ . We help with deployment to our platform and day to day usage problems for free.

- Highly reliable architecture. We offer components (like mongo replica sets) that allow you to create applications with very high uptime.

- Great performance. In our model you get something comparable to an EC2 instance, so even our "small" server gets you much more power (and RAM space) than a Heroku dyno.

I hope that this at least piqued your interest. Feel free to ask questions, I'd be glad to answer them.
Hiring. There's something fundamentally frustrating about knowing that all the data you need to make the perfect decision about where you should work is out there but that getting even a small piece of that data involves a series of nondeterministic, flawed, and sometimes intentionally opqaue human interactions.
Rather than having a daily list, I use Feeder (Chrome extension: http://feeder.co/)
to read my RSS feeds, I had always preferred it to Google Reader, I never did get myself into the mantra of checking Reader often (it ended up being once every few months, when I randomly remembered)
; however Feeder is nice in its minimalistic approach, just showing me how many items for each feed, which encourages me to zero it out, although unlike Reader it just shows the titles of RSS feed items, so I end up judging whether or not to read an article based on the title.

A few feeds I follow:

I certainly agree that people shouldn't be using techniques they don't understand.

But to address the main point - there are two separate things to consider when assessing a paper's methods. First is the methodology, which as you say is always included in the paper. But secondly, and equally importantly, is the implementation.

Agreeing with the methodology does not make me confident in the results. Someone wrote (probably) a lot of code to generate the analysis, and the likelihood that it contains bugs is high. They may or may not affect the outcome. Without seeing the code, I'm not going to trust the results.

Of course, I don't expect to read the source code of every analysis, but if it's open to scrutiny by the community, and the results are of any importance, it will be validated.

The problem is actually worse in many experimental methods, where the results rely completely on the practitioner having done exactly what they say they did and done it correctly. No source code to publish there, but that doesn't excuse not publishing analytical code when it is available.
No kidding it's politicised. I was following some of the really big feminist group blogs back in 2009 when the US Preventative Services Task Force announced their new guidelines, and they were pretty damn unhappy. Apparently it's "patronizing" to care about the anxiety and unnecessary procedures caused by false positives: http://feministing.com/2009/11/17/what-we-missed-161/
Great idea prompting the user to tweet after 10 follows. Can I ask why you didn't do the same with Facebook posts? Is your target market more likely to be on Twitter?
Either way, I've payed the one-person-dev for some years, I won't pay Digg.
I think that dubious honour probably belongs to the "buttery" from North East Scotland:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buttery_%28bread%29

They are basically lumps of butter and salt held together with a trace amount of flour. The versions available from mainstream stores (e.g. M&S) or from recipes online are fairly tame - for the real effect they need to be purchased from a small local baker in some remote fishing village.

Best butteries I've ever had were actually on a trawler in the North Sea - where they were served hot awash in molten salted butter.
In order: Feedly, Reddit, and Quora.

> Very (pleasantly) surprised to see a full French localization.

I looked around for translations, and couldn't find anything. What other languages are available?

Great to hear the author built this with translation/localization in mind! It's simply not optional if kids are in the target audience. Fortunately it also means that imperfect or incomplete translations are better than none! children don't mind the occasional spelling or style error.

Barrier to exploration is what it's all about. It's scary exploring a new user interface in a language you don't understand (great example is the stereotypical "japanese hi-tech toilet" scene in a sitcom). Even a few not-quite-right word-for-word translations builds confidence as to what a button or command _probably_ does, and also what it most probably will _not_ do (say, exit without saving :P).
Frying is totally fine if you use no (or little) oil and a non-stick pan.

I wouldn't consider making burgers a fast-prep food, but you can chop up an onion and clean the board in under two minutes. Skip the bacon. Actually, skip the onion too, just slice it up and brown a little for use as a topping, the best burgers are pure meat. Grilling, browning the bun and assembly takes another 10 minutes. A good titanium pan is clean in 30 seconds. Freeze a dozen patties and you can have a lot of instant meals.

I do cook a lot so am used to doing things reasonably fast, but I can't really see the argument for soylent saving time. You need breaks from work/activities anyway; besides, cooking can be relaxing, and is a great time to catch up on a podcast/video you've been saving for when you have the time, so it doesn't have to be completely "wasted".
