Here's another question for the Cognitive Reflection Test: In a study of 3,428 university students, 50% of participants across Harvard, MIT and Princeton got a question wrong on a Cognitive Reflection Test. What percentage of MIT stude

Oh please. Where do you get the information and knowledge to which to apply your own brain? From listening to people who know what they are talking about. I never said to believe him just because he's respected.

I have to admit your comment doesn't really make much sense to me. You seem to dismiss the corruption unless there is some how some grand narrative (some might say "conspiracy"?) that ties it all together and explains why Rus

I don't think there's anything remarkable about this website that could be considered a "big win" for Lisp. It's a totally run-of-the-mill dynamic web app that could have been developed more quickly in any web frame

I were a manager who chose to stay (i.e., bought into "hardcore"), I would honestly report that to my manager. I can only speculate on what Elon would want to do in that situation, but I could imagine it might be "fire them,

As with everything else coming out of the tech and mainstream media w.r.t. Elon+Twitter, this is BS. It's not about managers "standing up for" remote work. It's about whether managers lie to cover up bad performance. Q

I would exclude MIT from that list, but the rest of those schools basically have a huge reputation for grade inflation -- i.e., once you get in, you won't be given a bad GPA because you're paying so much. Grading people legitimate

It depends. As you can imagine, a lot of the more practical books focused on specific technologies are going to be out of date within a few years at most. This is especially true the younger the technology is. Something like Lindy's La

+1 to the second suggestion. It's easier to replace a habit with a different habit than to eliminate it completely. Find something online that you find constructive or educational, and do that instead. For me it's been learning la
