It wasn't legally on their client; a court would have required that Getty show they held copyright. During negotiations, though, Getty's lawyers can simply make whatever demands and threats they like.

Very few algorithms really care, rather, it's when you're composing them that maintaining insertion order avoids a lot of boilerplate in having to cart that information around. For the same reason, though, it's potentially a

I think Doom isn't a pure carnage simulator as there's also a measure of navigating obstacles and surviving that makes it fun. Serious Sam really is just carnage, and it's to its detriment; you get wave after wave of enemies

My favorite is still "laxadaisical" for those situations when neither "lax" nor "lackadaisical" are enough.

I had a mess of shell functions. It is nice that they run more quickly, but I don't have any shell commands that need to run that often. What moved me to putting them in a bin directory was that it's just easier to edit a standalo

I'm pretty safe in assuming they either enter a new business or don't for some reason. The some reason would be that they aren't able to actually do it. No one just goes out of business; read a story about a failing business

That was the basic premise of checked exceptions in Java. It's not really related to the type system or anything. The root of the problem is Java compiles each class as an independent module, so any method has to deal with all its exce

They have a choice. An economic profit is defined as making enough profit (and intangible benefit) to not want to do something else. For a small business owner it's "am I better off selling it off and getting a regular job?"

I think the gullibility theory does better at explaining the basic premises of spam emails, which are pretty farfetched.

If you've mucked with numpy dtypes, they're shockingly powerful, but this seems like a much nicer way to do it. Great idea!

The biggest part of the experiment that has failed is our government run school system, so maybe we fix that rather than give the government more control.

It's not contradictory. My point is it's counterproductive to bring DK into the picture, and I'm pushing back against the way it's used in popular culture. (So, absolutely tilting at windmills, but oh well.) First, it&#x

Part of the cognitive breakage was that he won the electoral college by taking states that had been traditional Democratic strongholds.

Not a great question for the stated purpose. Some people will dig in to the various tradeoffs involved with an ORM, and pick apart the structure of an ORM. And that should result in an "it depends" kind of answer. Others are more

The point about feedback is the root of my problem with DK as an idea. In most professions, you have a ton of feedback indicating where you are, often formalized. In martial arts, you wear a belt showing roughly what level you're at, w

Sigh. DK, as commonly cited, is not simply "competence." It hypothesizes a meta-cognitive bias whereby a person who is incompetent is cognitively incapable of determining their level of competence. Everyone has biases, and the rea

Where's the accountability in a correction? Traditional media has always buried their corrections such that only a handful of readers or viewers actually see them. And even if one finds the correction, one has to dig up the original st
