![Screenshot of an excerpt from Section 5, Discussion:
In response to the research questions posed in Section II, we find that identifier style significantly affects time and visual effort needed to correctly detect identifiers constructed from a phrase. The underscore style is significantly faster and positively influences the dependent variables. In the Binkley et al. study [4], Phrase Length did not interact with Style, however we find such an interaction in our analysis. The common theme in both experiments is that camel-cased identifiers take longer than underscored ones (13.5% in the previous study and 20% in this study) overall. In the Binkley et al. study, higher accuracy was found for camel-cased identifiers, however, in our study, all (except one) subjects answered correctly on all questions making accuracy comparisons irrelevant.
In our study, no interaction effects were found between the Experience secondary factor and the independent variable Style. The previous study found Training (vis-à-vis Experience in our study) to significantly interact with Style affecting the time to find an identifier. Their findings indicate that subjects trained in the camel-case style take less time to identify a camel-cased identifier than an underscore identifier.](https://fedi.ml/photo/preview/640/684070 "Screenshot of an excerpt from Section 5, Discussion:

Imagine a tragic situation - a headline in the news, the 11yo child got infected by rare ameba in public pool and died.
What would you make you more calm?

This is the original middle finger of the right hand of #GalileoGalilei as it can be seen in the #MuseoGalileo, Istituto e Museo di Storia della Scienza in #Florence:

My personal highlight of this trip to Italy so far.
Yes, the #middlefinger gesture is old enough. Even old greeks and romans used it:

Maybe this (and the #catholicchurch forcing him to publicly revoke his findings) is why somebody decided to steal this part of his body when he was moved years after his death.
From now on, this picture will be awarded by me to anybody who is talking bullshit that was scientifically proven wrong already.

As my findings in my #GeneticProgramming research are becoming more and more thorough, I have started to document them. The main problem in my runs is still lack of diversity.
PS: It could be nice if we could write papers in some dialect of #markdown
PS2: These writings are for myself to remember where am I and where I'm going. No academic paper yet :)

Did you know elephants are helping shape robot design?
Their trunks' precise movements have been inspiring new tech innovations for 20 years. Researchers are using the insights to create robotic limbs with precise grips that can work to pick up objects in the unpredictable real world:

New research has found that the two ‘fingers’ on the tip of an elephant’s trunk exert different forces. The finding will be used to improve the abilities of bio-inspired robots.The Conversation
Yep, a self-healing metal.
Scientists have discovered that metal-halide perovskite, a next-generation semiconductor material, can self-heal from radiation damage in space. And this could be a game-changer for space-based solar panels and future power generation.

Today I discovered a new PDF reader, that I think folks doing research will like a lot.
It's called Sioyek [^1] and it's something of a software for power users. It minimal, with VIM style key bindings and hidden keyboard shortcuts. The website shows a great deal of the cool features, I will just mention a very nice addition I'm enjoying.
You can right click a reference in the document, and a small rectangle overlay will show you the linked content without moving your current view, so you do not lose track of where you started.
It's very useful to peek at an equation or a citation and keep reading afterwards.

🌅 Good morning.
New #research from Consumer Reports offers a rare look into the scope of Meta's online surveillance.
It goes way beyond what most may expect—Meta can know many of the websites you visit and even what you’re doing IRL.

Are you a #sourdough baker? If so, I need your help! I'm researching sourdough baking during the COVID lockdowns for my MA and would love you to fill out my survey!
I'm also looking for people to tell me about their sourdough baking journey (Yes, even yours!), so if you would be interested, please DM me!

We measure how much snails eat in a given time period 🐌🥬
First, cut out lettuce discs carefully, to standardized the amount of food to start.
Second, give these lettuce discs to snails, and wait like 20-24h.
Lastly, fish up the leftover lettuce to scan and measure the area.
It’s a nice measurement for their activity 🐌🍃

I wrote a bot that parses the current #Mastodon instances and assigns them to the respective #ASN (de.wikipedia.org/wiki/ASN).
Interesting is the concentration on a few top ASN. Here for example the 10 most frequent ASNs as Pie Chart (as of 11/25/2022).
❤️ Thanks to @TheKinrar for the nice API for receiving the current mastodon instances.

I’m doing a project featuring little-known women of science as a part of my studies as a lab technician.
I’ll be drawing some portraits and illustrating the research and discoveries of some interesting scientists✨
Let’s start!
