WHy does this work on my PC, but not on my iPhone?
dangowango··on Which topics get the upvote on Hacker News?
Some of the categories are quite surprising, for example: space-nasa-tesla-rocket-launch-star-CHINA-nuclear as space; ruby not as programming; com-http-www-EMACS-LIST-org-book-pdf as junk; Those seem very specific, or plain wrongly classified. Maybe you can show them individually, just as a big dump of generated graphs? No need to make another post about it though, but i'd like to see them in context. Thanks!

dangowango··on Ask HN: Text-based PPT alternative?
But i totally agree with the need for a github for ppt (and other binary files, like doc, etc!)

Latex is pretty great. Use the Beamer packege. However, its drawback is that all slides look very similar, and it's very time-consuming to experiment with discrete slide layouts.

For most users I'd say this is one of the few scenarios where you really really want a graphical editor.

What's wrong with meatheads? As if getting in Bodybuilding-shape didnt require the same dedication as programming. I'd even say true bodybuilding is far more demanding than being a programmer. Not necessarily requiring as much math, but nobody in his right mind would compare against that.

Also, this program will not help you get in shape.

dangowango··on Why no one will read your thesis
This is BS. Science should be focused on results and how to achieve them. Understanding primary research takes five years (BSc + Msc), and even then it requires hard work; Producing primary research is still a different league. I would think that 99% of primary research will not be read by the general public because they don't care enough to put in the hard work. Those who are willing wont need a poem to do it.
