    In #Maneage [1], level 4+ is different:

    * in analysis/ we use 'make' for the higher-level workflow, encouraging bash scripts for details;

    * in software/ we use 'make' to build all the software with sha512sum checks on the downloads, starting from a minimal unix-like system;

    * the makefiles initialize.mk and paper.mk are the workflow for the paper

    There's a reason some of us have a hair trigger around anything that touches on copyright. Corporations are constantly probing for ways to weaponise it against us all.

  23. If you want something that does this across browsers without feeding details of what you're reading to Google, check out openaccessbutton.org/ or unpaywall.org/ (slightly different use cases)

    Hmm, looks like none of the current #OAbutton or #unpaywall teams are here on fedi. Pinging @researchremix and @ethanwhite

  24. Excellent blog post by Nick Clark showing how to work with state-space vector autoregressive models for non-Gaussian time-series, or in less technical terms - most ecological time-series. So if you model ecological time-series definitely go give it a read:

  25. I want to say a heart felt thank you to the amazing student journalists at #WKCR. What they accomplished tonight and how they supported each other is an inspiration. They are what is going to help me get up in the morning.

  26. CW: Student protests, arrests, UF

    University of Florida professor @tbridis is reporting on Twitter that UF has confirmed arresting protestors for "clearly prohibited activities". Reminder that UF's list of "prohibited activities" includes the use of chairs & pillows.

  28. So, Trevor Price & I started building the #SoftwareCarpentry Windows Installer. It started out as a Python script. You had to get Python working and then you ran this script and it took care of some of the additional complexities. This is as close as I can get to the original script:

    github.com/swcarpentry/windows

    We kept adding more fixes (& fixing things that broke; which happened a lot) & eventually packaged it all as a proper Windows installer to make things easier for students.
