« An association between two variables merely implies that knowing the value of one variable provides information about the value of the other. It does not necessarily imply that one causes the other. Hence the mantra: “association is not causation.” »

Something that has come up here a few times and that I encounter more than I expected is researchers at universities refusing to run provided EDR because they own their research and don't want the university to access it. At the same time, they're a target for various APT groups…

Yes... I had to censor my work without which my committee wouldn't sign it... But the great thing with Internet is that you can post the original version and even add a disclaimer explaining why it differs from the published version…

If you are running into broken GitHub integrations today, it's because GitHub issuecomment IDs have just passed the maximum value of i32. For example @rustlang's rfcbot is currently out of commission with an i32 overflow.

1 in 10 of the top 100 ‘best’ scientists are named Michael or Eric, but only 3% are female, according to @guide2research. Putting aside the obvious flaws of the H-index, these numbers are disheartening. Thanks to @mbeisen for sharing. research.com/scientists-ran…

So we’re calling academics “toddlers” now?

Anyone have a good theory for why toddlers have such specific, arbitrary preferences, and why they get so upset when these arbitrary preferences are thwarted?
