"But wouldn't any other researcher who obtains the data from doctors who recruited the patients have to give credit to the doctors who shared their data?"
In academia, it's better to be the primary author of a paper. More primary author publications makes it easier to get funding, keep your job and advance your career. If you share the data that you might have spent a lot of time and money collecting, you will either gain a citation or a non-primary author position. This is worse for your career. I don't like the system. Most academics would prefer to share to have their work verified or even to see what others might find but the incentives are to keep it private so that you can squeeze as many primary papers (or papers from your research group) as possible out of a data set before sharing the paper.
I used Dart a while ago for a personal project. Language-wise, it has dramatically improved by 'await'. My favorite part about Dart is the standard library. I've never used a language with a better standard library.
Does anyone know how Dart will be affected by web assembly?
I'm really hopeful that Concepts will dramatically reduce the amount of code needed for std::transform. Imagine no begin() or end(). It would suddenly become less verbose than the classic for loop.
Abstract
An increasing number of animal studies have shown altered markers for health in subjects exposed to intermittent fasting, i.e. regularly and repeatedly abstaining from eating during 12-36 hours per period. It has been hypothesized that the reported beneficial health effects from caloric restriction on excess body weight, cardiovascular risk factors, glucose metabolism, tumor physiology, neurodegenerative pathology and life span can be mimicked by alternating periods of short term fasting with periods of refeeding, without deliberately altering the total caloric intake. Therefore, a systematic review of available intervention studies on intermittent fasting and animal and human health was performed. In rodents, intermittent fasting exhibits beneficial effects including decreased body weight, improved cardiovascular health and glucose regulation, enhanced neuronal health, decreased cancer risk and increased life span – some of the effects independent of the effects attributed to calorie restriction alone. The human studies performed to date are generally of low-quality design. Beneficial effects such as weight loss, reduced risk for cardiovascular disease and improved insulin sensitivity have been observed, but conflicting data exists. The potential health promoting effects of intermittent fasting in humans and applicability to modern lifestyle are discussed.

Are there any numbers on how much it generates compared to a traditional design? I imagine it generates less electricity but it costs less so there's a trade-off.
I really like the idea of capitalization selecting public and private scope. However, how do they use protected scope?
I know it sounds unrealistically pessimistic but it's very similar to my experience. Colleagues developing a host of awful conditions due to a terribly stressful environment. Doing a Ph.D. was my biggest regret.
I love the passion Bob puts into his work. This is such a fine book. I've already read it but I'm definitely getting the final version in paper.
My wrist pain is so bad I've had to change profession. Nevertheless, computers are used in every job. At first, ergonomic keyboards and mice were enough. Then any kind of mice was too painful. Then I became fully ambidextrous, writing and using mice with left hand. After I maxed out the pain in that hand, I've moved onto tablets. I find almost no pain typing on a Swype keyboard on my tablet.
I got Samsung Note 12.2 2014 pro because it has a huge screen. If I need to do a small amount of programming, I use Splashtop to accept Swype input into my Windows laptop just across the room.
If anyone has better ideas for an extreme case of RSI, please let me know. Thanks.
It's more about the libraries. It's hard to find a statistical method that doesn't have an R implementation. That said, the quality of these libraries can be very low.
I disagree. He can produce the same excellent product without his childish name-calling. His ability to read and accept commits does not depend on his menacing replies to bad commits.
Hacker Keyboard is my favorite keyboard on Android. I only wish it had swipe support but it seems the developer has abandoned the project.
Any benchmarks against MathJax beyond the visual at the bottom of the page?
I think it reads well but I would prefer if the examples given were correct first time around and then talk about what might go wrong, whereas right now, it describes what might go wrong and then how to do it correctly.
For example, in the testing section, the first example code generates an error because it's scope is private. The section then shows how to fix this. I would prefer he showed the correct way first and then how to fix common errors.
Also, I didn't see file IO but i probably overlooked that.
Other than that, it's excellent. Very thorough and reads like a book.
Maybe Servo will be their clean slate. I know it's an experimental browser created to help test a language and parallelism in web APIs, but if it does well, it could come to replace Firefox. This is unlikely and years away at best but it's possible.
Do you think it would be possible to describe a binary file in such a way that some git extension of sorts could be made to understand the file so that only the minimum delta would have to be saved by git?
That looks absolutely gorgeous. Working with functions like that is something I've been looking for. Is there a longer demo video? If like to see how new functions are added to existing files, how it handles a bigger code base, and how it deals with a clutter of bubbles e.g. does it remember old bubble path lists so they don't have to be expanded layer (or maybe this shouldn't be the case due to causing clutter).
I love how it has autocomplete due to VS integration. With the right keyboard shortcuts and some polish, I think your editor would be very useful. Keep us updated.
Grass fed or not, regular red meat consumption isn't good for us.
There is a good body of evidence that that people from Europe do well on the Mediterranean diet. That diet is mostly plant based but with oily fish and occasional eggs and dairy.
Wouldn't no plugins mean no adblock? I would never go back to not using it.
It could just show the ten best selling apps that don't include the one you already have installed. So instead of 1, 3, 4, it would push 3 up to 2 and 4 up to 3.
I'd also like if the store didn't keep showing things it's shown me a dozen times before. If I haven't downloaded them after seeing them advertised this many times, I'm never going to download them.
I love the way you can star issues on Google Code. Sorting by stars shows the feature most people want. Github could really use this.
That's really helpful. Thanks.
I have another question. C++ already has types, a main function, collections etc. and is really fast. What are the advantages of Dart over C++ with emscripten?
Beautiful article. Is there a repository with the source code available? You mention viewing the source in the article but my mobile browser can't do that.
Just because others do it, it doesn't mean it's not impressive.
YAML is quite mature, clean, is a superset of JSON so people could use JSON if they wanted, and it's used for config files for pub, Dart's package manager. TOML doesn't seem mature enough.
I have the 12.2 edition which costs way more than the price range of the OP but it's such a fantastic experience. I use it for everything but coding. I tried a Wacom pad and pen with my desktop but I really disliked it. I much prefer seeing what I write and myself writing it at the same time. My brain didn't like the disconnect of looking at a monitor while drawing on a pad. It made my handwriting much worse.
Having consent, a person who can be replied to instead of ano-reply and a mandatory unsubscribe doesn't sound so bad to me. What are the main arguments against it?
