The Rails development stack wasn't nearly as convoluted in 2015. A lot of this stuff leaked over from the JS ecosystem over the years

I think the difference is PG faked it until he could make it work at some future endpoint, Charlie Javice gave up on trying to make it work and instead faked it at the endpoint

Yes, there is certaintly data to make that argument. The argument that inflammation is a better predictor of heart disease than cholesterol is a reasonable one. On the other hand the argument that cholesterol is not a good predictor of hear

That's a hot take of a blog post. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. The cholesterol to heart disease link is one of the best attested in medical science [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15] And yet whe

The Oregon Health Care Study followed patients for 2 years initially, then it was expanded out to 3 years. That's an absurdly short interval. The idea is that increased primary care services will have benefits 10 or 15 years down the l

Yep, QUIC is what I was thinking about when I wrote my additional comment, but there are many examples, as others have pointed out.

I am a physician, so I can say this with a high degree of confidence. That snippet is referring to the circle of Willis*, which is a "backup" circuit that can route around a blockage to the blood flow to the brain on one side. Th

It's not a case of losing blood, it's a case of failing to move blood to the right place. If the shot took out the carotid, then (nearly) 50% of the blood supply to his brain is gone because of a piping failure. That can absolutel

I don't buy that. You can't have it both ways. You can't discount PHP4/5 criticism because PHP7+ is good and then in the same breath hold PHP above other tech stacks for passing the test of time, not when PHP7 is younger

I've heard that a lot, but my gripe with modern PHP is what's the hook? What feature does it offer that other scripting languages don't? - Can you use the same rendering logic on client and server like JavaScript? - Does it h

Version control took a while because most early version control systems were brittle and had poor developer UX. Once we got mercurial and git and nice web UIs, the transition was actually pretty fast IMHO. The same could be true for coding

China is the birthplace of the term 996. Of course it's not the birthplace of people being coerced into unhealthy work hours - that's been around for thousands of years.

I was also in high school in that time period and had a similar experience. As I recall it, pretty much every student had a phone by 2007ish (flip phones back then), and using a phone in class was grounds to have it confiscated for the day

Looking at one of the big players, the NIH: They already placed a new limit of six grant proposals per PI per year, but that's pretty high. Certainly high enough for reviewers to be totally swamped if even 5% of labs who would have oth

cargo publish bundles your source files into a format (.crate) that can be distributed to other developers. This includes instructions for actually building the project at a later time. This is analagous to 'uv build' making an .

It gets difficult when you compare scripting languages to natively compiled languages, since some of the terminology is overloaded. "uv build" makes .wheel files, so it is analogous to "cargo publish" (which makes .crate

Cargo is a hybrid of package manager and build system. So it has frontend fommands wrapping a formatter and loads of other stuff, like code linters, as part of the build system. I've used cargo to build projects even when they have no

Why does a package manager need a formatter at all?

So you're saying when the Texas grid fails, it's because of over overegulation. But the solution to those failures is to tap into the national grid, a grid that follows stricter FERC regulations. This argument doesn't make an

Fraudulent research can be damaging along multiple axes, and I completely agree that there is probably a mountain of undiscovered fraud out there that continues to have negative downstream effects. I'm more skeptical of the idea that u

I'd argue that the vast majority of fraud - even high profile fraud - doesn't actually affect public perception of science. For example, the STAP cell paper and Jan Hendrik Schön's series of papers aren't really widely k
