Last maths lesson I had was pre-2008.

How do I relearn maths?

I know of mathsisfun.com/ and khanacademy.org/. Are these good enough? Anything else that helps or is better?

Advice welcome, :boost_ok:​

🥁 Hey folks. You may know I'm a HUGE fan of Outreachy for its hands-on efforts to bring marginalised people into open source.

As such I am _delighted_ to share that my employers the Wellcome Trust will be supporting Outreachy over the next year, funding ten internship spots for open science Wellcome-related projects:

boring middle-aged man

I use todo.txt with topydo (github.com/topydo/topydo) and Todo.txt for Android (play.google.com/store/apps/det). That solution works well for me.

For work stuff I use Sublime Text with PlainTasks (github.com/aziz/PlainTasks), but I'm not entirely happy with that solution, partly because of the file format.

I would like to use #markdown #todo lists. Are there any apps, CLI tools and editor plugins that support that?

Are there fully open LPCM formats, alternative to WAV and AIFF?

A friend from Warwick is organizing the 1st Midlands MAP Festival, a series of talks on issues relevant to minorities in philosophy (and academia in general, really). I think this might be of interest to many people here: philevents.org/event/show/8981

journal submission process 

Today I was asked to tick a box saying that everybody in my acknowledgements had agreed to be there. I didn't tick the box, and it let me submit anyway.

It makes me wonder whether I should ask permission. I usually thank almost everybody I have discussed the paper with. I never ask permission. I have never been asked for permission by anybody who has thanked me.

bibtex citekey regex 

Does somebody have a that will find the citekeys in a file? I want `\cite{foo, bar}` to match 'foo' and 'bar'. This seems like something that would be easy to find, but I haven't found a usable solution. This is my best attempt so far, which works only when there is one key per command:

\\[C|c]ite[t|p|year|author|yearpar]?.*?\{\s*(.+?)\}

Wondering about academic disciplines 

It seems that it is very common in philosophy to respect someone's work but disbelieve everything they say. And think that there are good reasons why none of their arguments work. And think that there are good arguments for a different view. I assume that that couldn't happen in many disciplines.
