> No, if you knew the null model was flawed to begin with nothing has been learned. We don't know that the null is flawed to begin with. Not in a way that matters to the analysis anyway, otherwise you've picked the wrong null.

Yes, let's make English the sole official language of the EU. That would go down really well. /s The current system works really well, and puts the burden of having to deal with people speaking other languages on governments rat

If what you're seeing isn't a statistical fluctuation, then you've found something, so it's right to claim a discovery. The point of hypothesis testing is to distinguish statistical fluctuations from real signals. If you

A more stringent significance standard doesn't just make it more expensive, since if what you're seeing is a statistical fluctuating, it will most probably disappear upon collecting more data, not get stronger. Confidence in rejec

Your null hypothesis shouldn't have anything to do with your theory. It should always be "nothing interesting (or new) is happening". Your alternative hypothesis is derived from your theory.

At 5σ, you lose a lot of the downsides of standard p < 0.05 hypothesis testing because the p value is so low. Nevertheless, I suppose what you would suggest is just setting limits to start with and looking for a bump there instead. That&

> The confidence in rejecting the null model is somehow translated into support for the researcher's favorite theory. How does changing the significance level address this problem? Not just any old favorite theory. For instance, an

What isn't? Hypothesis Testing or the 5σ standard?

The method described is the extremely standard Hypothesis Testing method. The null hypothesis is that there is no new physics, while the alternative is that there is some new physics. The only difference is that in particle physics the stan

I'm pretty sure Chart, DataViz, etc are now available in the open source edition.

Generally the file managers on Linux use "magic" to determine file type rather than extensions, so even if it would run you should know it's really a Python script.

I can easily automate that by calling /bin/true.

It's only good if you stick to Breeze. If you use anything else (QtCurve, Virtuality) there's no GTK3 port.

Good point. Though the fact that you read your PKGBUILDs before running them ( you do read your PKGBUILDs, right? ) at least compensates for this.

Electron just externalizes the cost, it doesn't eliminate it. Electron is a little like auto-translating your UI. It's easier for the developer and the user pays the price.

They work for a very specific (i.e. consumption focused) type of application, but the implementation in GTK is pretty fragile. Qt Quick / Kirigami is a good option for that type of application though.

Unfortunately, GTK applications in a Qt desktop are a complete disaster. This means if you use Qt, it looks and works well on some desktops and OK on others, while GTK is good on the latter and bad on the former.

HTML and CSS are actually a pretty terrible syntax for building interfaces, which is unsurprising given HTML is a document format, and CSS is designed to style documents. If they were really the best possible syntax, you wouldn't have

QGtkStyle and the Gnome platform theme mean this isn't really an issue.

What languages do you know? With Qt, Python is an option but you're better off using C++. Bindings to other languages exist, of varying quality.

Salt the hashes, perhaps use PBKDF2. The problem is solved for passwords, just treat IPs like low entropy passwords.

You can do that with a hash of the IP.

There isn't a law banning the use of Electron instead of learning how to build desktop applications properly, and there's a lot of resentment over people doing that too.

Depends what's on the site. If it's just a static site, there isn't a lot of point trying to investigate a breach, just fix the changes and move on.

But there's open source software for this. Why don't they just use that?
