“Everybody in math and physics uses it.”
Nearly 35 years ago, Paul Ginsparg created arXiv, a digital repository for sharing research. It changed science for good.
Three decades in, Ginsparg reflects on its legacy—and its future.

Inside arXiv—the Most Transformative Platform in All of Science
Modern science wouldn’t exist without the online research repository known as arXiv. Three decades in, its creator still can’t let it go.

They're called public records for a reason. Starting today, WIRED will *stop paywalling* articles that are primarily based on public records obtained through the Freedom of Information Act, becoming the first publication to partner with @freedom.press to offer this for our new coverage.
Wired is dropping paywalls for FOIA-based reporting. Others should follow
As the administration does its best to hide public records from the public, Wired magazine is stepping up to help stem the secrecy

Ever wondered why presenting more facts can sometimes *worsen* disagreements, even among rational people? 🤔
It turns out, Bayesian reasoning has some surprising answers - no cognitive biases needed! Let's explore this fascinating paradox quickly ☺️

Any #rstats or @quarto.org people have a guide on how to generate or assign DOIs to Quarto blog posts?
I think maybe @andrew.heiss.phd might have done this successfully?

programming languages should all support the MIT comma:
R:
function(
foo,
bar,
baz
)
python:
function(
foo,
bar,
baz,
)
MIT comma lets you comment out every argument. In contrast, commenting out baz in the R function call throws a syntax error.
