Sigh. This is a guy who is clearly passionate about his hobby and was excited to share it with us. Leave it to hn to shit all over it. Some people fly to Africa and shoot elephants for fun - as far as hobbies go, this…
Just to clarify: ArXiv is a pre-print server. By definition anything uploaded there has not (yet) undergone peer review. Posting papers there before they're published in a journal (which can take many months) is…
Root is absolutely, mind-blowingly, amazing. It gets a bad rap because it forces you to use primitives that were designed back in the early nineties. If you're "just" trying to analyze some data, your experience will…
If you are looking for quality I suggest you look at the IPCC reports. Each word is carefully chosen, every claim backed by mountains of evidence. They're written to be read and understood by non-experts. They exist to…

Perhaps not as different as you think! Most of the "known matter" is indeed H and He drifting in otherwise "empty space". Stars, while very dense, are few and far between on cosmic scales. In terms of mass, the ratio is…
The whole thing is just a big straw man argument. Well, actually the piece is pretty incoherent and I found it hard to find a red thread through the musings on such diverse topics as WIMPs, pentaquarks and the…
> the sloppy way with which science attribute importance to whatever is statistically significant. But we don't. Just because an effect is statistically significant doesn't mean it could not also be explained by some…
A high carb, low fat diet is excellent for health. Especially when paired with other simple recommendations such as an active lifestyle. This is established since well over a century, supported by high quality research…
https://root.cern.ch/ has tab completion and syntax highlighting. Also scripting support and built in reflection. It integrates with Python and R too, and you can move objects between the languages.
