The only papers that are likely to draw conclusions directly from the cited papers are meta-analysis and reviews. Any pure research will have its own hypothesis, its own experiments, its own results, and its own conclusions. Most papers wil

Was this original threat even legal? That vested equity was already theirs - it was part of their contract and had been satisfied. I don't see how they could withhold them from their ex-employees without a separate contact agreeing to

I think of it more as "dancing bear ware". If you've ever seen a dancing bear, you wouldn't say it's particularly good at dancing. You may even say it's hardly dancing at all. But we don't care that it dan

That's one of the biggest reasons I still use it. Other music players have strictly fixed UIs that often focus on organizing a music library rather than actually playing your music. I'm quite happy organizing my music using the fi

I still use it for all of my locally stored MP3s. I haven't seen a music player in a long time that focused on playing music rather than being a media library.

I really appreciate them doing this. I wish more companies would release their source - even as is - if they are dissolving the corporation anyway.

I see this as a serious and unnecessary problem affecting many products today. Perhaps smart phone integration is convenient or allows for interactions that aren't possible otherwise, but devices like smart phones are not reliable - th

You assume that's a reasonable option for most people. Plenty of people have software, hardware, or other requirements to use Windows. It sucks, but it's quite common. The enemy of good is perfect. Maybe we can't stop them sp

They showed it off to a large crowd without even testing it on site. How typical of "move fast and break things" development. Don't worry, they'll fix it eventually, but until then they look stupid and your fancy new toy

For a single team, sure, but the entire company isn't just one team of 4-8 people. When you start getting multiple teams, and some of them take on common tasks for the rest (finance, recruiting, PR, etc), you need something to tie them

If I were an investor, I would accuse him of malfeasance. Part of his job is ensuring the success of the app store, which in a capitalist system requires it to be profitable.

Because the alternative was four local channels with poor programming and poor reception, which were also full of ads. You paid for better programs and better video quality.

If you have no choice - like if it's what your employer uses exclusively - it's an option for making it more palatable.

17 years ago I worked for a startup company. Despite being VC funded and not yet profitable, we remained calm. Our investors were institutional and government organizations who were more concerned with trying to build a successful company t

Sure, but there's only so much you can do to avoid such risks. We control the risks that we can control; the rest is up to luck.

Consider a chase where the officers finally manage to stop the vehicle. They don't need to tell the perpetrator why they pulled them over before telling them to put their hands above their head.

I've been a software developer for 15 years. I started at a start-up company with many others who were fairly junior. We knew we had to take QA seriously, but didn't know how to do it. It took many years to come up with standards,

They've reached market saturation, are not profitable, continually fail to find ways to become profitable, and yet they have a nearly $40 billion market cap. Any concept of valuation is meaningless these days.

Very cool! I've run into some of these kinds of issues myself in my daily work and it took a long time to both discover the other and a solution. I'll definitely try this out to see if it can help me find and fix these kinds of is

Check the original paper by D-K. Fix only focused on the first plot which has a monotonically increasing trend. The later plots show varying degrees of nonmonotonicity, though sadly they don't include error bars to indicate how statist

What Blair Fix's article gets wrong is that there are two stark differences between what Fix generated with random data and what Dunning and Kruger observed in theirs. Fix has each person guess randomly between 0 and 99 where they will

Up here in Saskatchewan, Canada, we have a crown corporation that provides broadband access to the entire province. The legislature has mandated that they provide access to a very large portion (90? , 95?) of the population. They are treate

It is supposed to be instant. It's a notice and notice system. One party claims infringement, hosting takes it down. Other party counters that it's legit, hosting puts it back up. With both parties having given legal statements, t

This is one of the better explanations I've seen of how GPU programming works. I'll be using this for my mentees in the future. Well done!

I agree. I work on numerical simulation software that involves very sparse, very irregular matrices. We hardly use SIMD because of the challenges of maintaining predicates, bitmasks, mapping values into registers, and so on. It's not b

When is the last time you saw a jury nullification? I agree, juries should be able to overturn convictions if they think the law is unjust, but that simply doesn't happen. The entire legal system is very careful about choosing and guid

I'm sure what you mean to imply is "it would be trivial", and I agree, but any professional developer can tell you it wouldn't be literally a day. It would start off as being a week, maybe two or three as the developer r

This would all be information that would be under NDA and certainly not to be discussed publicly. Industry insiders leaking information under condition of anonymity is the only reason we have any idea about what goes on behind the carefully
