I noticed there is a free tier for individual users with limited capability. But I agree with the thrust of your argument here.

Reader mode gets me most of the way. Otherwise I just don’t bother with the website as they don’t deserve to be read.

Yeah, good advice would provide insight into why it is hard. I am not sure the linked article succeeds. One insight I have had lately is that some people struggle to write because their brains are not "wired" in the right way to m

My inability to understand these financial instruments without hours of study is why I never put money into anything other than a couple of major currencies for funsies. Vanguard ETFs, mortgages, and bank accounts make sense. So I keep seri

Yes I think a lot of people who struggle with these things are not aware they could actually be dealing with various psychiatric issues. ADHD is another disorder that can go undiagnosed and often manifests as indecision or procrastination.

The state of Western Australia has banned poker machines. We have a single casino in the capital which is the only sanctioned gambling establishment. So our pubs and clubs are a bit poorer and there are less of them. But they are not ruined

Yeah this infuriates me. I have a very large playlist and it will definitely keep playing the same stuff each time I shuffle it. It’s not like is even hard to set a pseudo random seed.

Usually just when I am having trouble with an idosyncratic number scale. So usually when I need to make sense of dates and the time between them. It's often got nothing to do with work, but I do use them in my personal life.

Yes. There is even precedent in other western countries. Australia radically restricted its gun ownership laws after a single high profile massacre. This was done by a conservative government no less! The same one that followed the USA into

Yes, you want DarkReader which is an extension available on most web browsers. Aside from being able to dark mode websites it has ways to complete customise the background and text colours. I am writing this with high contrast orange text o

For those who have this kind of issue you should try out darkreader. Aside from doing a great job of dark mode for any website, the customisation allows you to fix the shitty contrast on most websites so that you dont get headache from read

Yeah it is insane that this is a thing. Nothing comparable happens in Australia for either phone service or ISPs.

There is a chart in the link that shows the problem is equal no matter your ancestry or cultural background.

I take photos of good looking meals but never to post them elsewhere. They are just going into the memory bank of photos for later reminiscing.

Im sure there is some truth to depression being adapative, but I wouldn’t trust anything that evo psych has to say. There is just no way to properly validate their arguments. We can barely explain bird beaks let alone the most complex organ

Same thing in Nazi Germany. The Fuhrer was considered to be above party politics and the anti-semitic actions of the nazi state. Of course he wasn’t, but its a tried and true tactic I guess.

The y-axis is actual_score - self_assessed_score, right? So we are interested in whether the average of this y-axis value differs between high scoring and low scoring groups. The study that shows there is no D-K effect [1] linked by the OP

Later in the article the author points to an article which does systematically illustrate that the D-K effect is probably not real. They achieve this by using college education level as an independent proxy for test skill with the Y variabl

Yes you are right and I don't understand how so many commenters in this thread can be so confidently state that the article is wrong. I just went ahead and did the random simulation myself and you get the "Dunning Kruger effect&qu

As explained in the article, the reason is autocorrelation. Basically the y axis is correlated to the x axis because the y axis is actually x + random noise. The dunning kruger graph is then a transformation of that data - still subject to

It depends for me. Sometimes I am simply after the documentation but often I want to make some weird plot and would like to see if anyone else has tried to make said weird plot using the same library before. I don't think there is any

Did not know about alttab.app for macOS. That really was the last gripe I had about macOS. alttab + rectangle gets you back to Windows/Linux style window management anyway.

Oh yeah Melbourne screwed up badly. But the rest of the country didn't. Don't conflate Melbourne's bad contact tracing and subsequent lockdowns with the quality of life elsewhere in Australia. We spent most of the last two ye

We spent most of 2020 and half of 2021 living with no fear of the virus because it wasn't here. No one I know has even been hospitalised by COVID. It is hilarious to me (and most Australians I know) that Americans think we had a hard

We used to have the same system in Australia but it was abolished by our centre right party (Liberals). The result has been an erosion of student rights and tertiary education quality.

The mRNA vaccines are absolutely vaccines and not gene therapies. The mRNA is turned into protein and it is that protein that your immune system is trained to attack. If we consider mRNA, or any vaccine, to be a gene therapy it would becaus

Australia and New Zealand tried lockdowns against Delta. They didn't work until vaccination rates got high enough. Then omicron came and not even 90% vax rates were enough to stop the spread. So the vaccines without lockdowns is more

by ImaCake 5y ago
Well Australia is open and has been for a while. As far as I know there were no novel variants that were found first here because the lockdowns suppressed case numbers and besides, there is only 25 million Australians. We have the same vari
