It doesn’t have to be

MATLAB can ruin all sorts of coding experiences, programming included

Journal quality can buffer this by getting better reviewers (MDPI shouldn’t be seen as having peer review at all, but peer review at the best journals–because professors want to say on their merit raise annual evals that they are doing the most service to the field by reviewing at the best journals–is usually good enough at weeding out bad papers), but it gets offset by the institutional prestige of authors when peer-review isn’t double-blind. I’ve seen some garbage published in top journals by folks that are the caliber of Harvard professors (thinking of one in particular) because reviewers use institutional prestige as a heuristic.

When I’m teaching new grad students, I tell them exactly what you said, with the exception that they can use field-recognized journal quality (not shitty metrics like impact factor) as a relative heuristic until they can evaluate methods for themselves.

I never understand why lemmy downvotes someone who is trying to help by providing accurate information, presumably because they think that there’s a very small chance that the person they’re replying to isn’t being sarcastic.

A fellow Julia programmer! I always test new models by asking them to write some Julia, too.

But a byte is 8 bits, not the other way around

Where’s the Julia programmer that hits every one of these with @benchmark and then works for six hours to shave three nanoseconds off of the fastest one?

Yeah, that was my favorite one

Well, .world is definitely a US domain.

Within a loop could be:

for(i in 1:10){
     assign(paste0("listNum", i), list(i, someStringVector[i], i:(i+20), i*value))
}```

And you can also use get() in the same way to dynamically retrieve a variable. 

I've gone so far into coding debauchery that I've dynamically assigned variables from dynamically retrieved ones, and I've done so fairly frequently.

Blood donation testing proves otherwise:

2% of all tested US blood donations given December 13-19 2019 had antibodies to and neutralized COVID, and because people don’t donate blood while sick, those folks likely had and fought it off around Thanksgiving. Source:

California is weird with its zoning laws, and those cities didn’t start out large, nor have they existed as large cities for very long. My guess is that as time passes, those cities will start to look more like NYC, Boston, etc., which have more apartments/condos.

Good lord, I hope no one employed at Microsoft reads this. I would bet they institute it if they think of it.

If I remember right, the reason why Mark has scholarly consensus as being written before John is that Mark is least theologically developed, which only really makes sense as evidence for that if you’re starting from the position that the theological bits are later additions. I remember Q and M as evidence for Mark before Matthew or Luke, but is there any evidence that Mark was written before John that doesn’t start with the position that more-developed theology is a later addition?

Why am I being downvoted for asking someone with a PhD in this topic a question about their expertise?

HGH can make people’s ribcage grow, and it also makes you feel like a million bucks. Elon is likely taking HGH for funsies.
