Are you implying that ADHD is not a real condition? If so, what makes you think this is the case?

I now see that we're not really talking about alerts in the 'alert()' sense, but rather about the popups - which are not native widgets (which are better off non-modifiable, in my opinion). My bad. Do you know of any good rea

> + major dev community... Do you mean major as in "large", or as in "possessing some positive quality"? While I'm not commenting on Atom's dev community in particular, the two don't have a causative re

Sure, but (unless their GUI is implemented with web technologies for some reason) they generally use native widgets, at least.

It's consistent with the platform, i.e. the alerts are native

Unless it is demonstrated to have some predictive power, it isn't certain at all. Additionally, the added (relative) complexity doesn't imply anything about its qualities.
337.
by eivarv 10y ago
Agreed - this is why I asked whether there is any proof of its alleged predictive power. Without this, I don't think it's reasonable to assume that it is in fact predictive.

While I'm not a huge fan of Myers-Briggs (or rather, how it's used), that's not what I'm saying. I'm saying that the fact that some people are using it for some purpose doesn't mean that it's actually usef

The fact that (some) companies may use it to test if a person is fit for certain tasks doesn't mean that it really indicates whether a person is fit for certain tasks.

Life, like intelligence, isn't really well defined or even well understood, though. Besides, isn't your list more aptly described as (some) characteristics of known organic life ?

Your quote from the article about celebrities is presumably referring to anxiety disorders (i.e. pathologic anxiety - as opposed to the "normal", sometimes helpful variety), though the article doesn't really differentiate c

Dropout can certainly be applied generally - it's useful as a regularization technique (especially in wide and deep networks) to combat overfitting in other fields than computer vision. CNNs can be used in other fields as well.

They both embed chromium, though, which will perform much worse than say native GUI widgets.

Hah! I got the gist of it, dear svenskejævel, but I mistook your sarcasm for bona fide paranoia ;) As for intra-Scandinavian relations: I think we can all agree that the Danes are the worst of us - and their language is just ridiculous [1].

I think you mean Second Variety [1], which is really great in my opinion as well. It, like many of PKD's works, was also made into a movie (Screamers). Second Variety is freely available [2] on the Internet Archive, via Project Gutenbe

I don't see how what you write is relevant; paranoia is unreasonable by its definition [1], as opposed to rational fear. [1]: http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/paranoia

It's not unlikely. But it's not really paranoia, though, as antibiotic resistance poses a real threat.

Do you have any sources to back up any of these assertions, e.g. that this is what Sumerians called 'Nibiru', or that they had astronomical records of this/an object? If I remember correctly, the "Planet X" / &

There doesn't need to be an evolutionary advantage for everything (e.g. vestigal features) - this "uncertainty-blindness" could have just not been exposed to evolutionary pressure.

I'd say Conda [1] is as straight forward to use as NPM, and handles virtual environments (better than virtualenv) as well. I don't really see the issue with creating a virtual environment in the case of specific dependencies, and

I don't see how an American wanting to avoid comments from another continent would make them afraid of a warrior princess. On a more serious note, I too have noticed a shift in the comments on this site; I really enjoyed the fact that

Regarding X11 apps on OS X: what about XQuartz [1]? If the source isn't platform-dependent, you wouldn't even need Docker. [1]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XQuartz

Worth noticing: development of an OpenCL-based backend for Theano is in under way [1]. I don't know how it's progressing (as I haven't checked it's status for a while), though, but some [2-3] GitHub issues might be worth

Good points! I may not have conveyed it properly, but I was mainly concerned with traditional desktop applications. Regarding Qt licensing concerns: couldn't you just use PySide instead? Edit: Sorry, was mixing up Qt and PyQt. Qt its

I do a lot of programming in Python, and found Kivy to be easy to use and thought it was pretty cool when I tried it out a while ago. However: Why would one want to use Kivy for desktop interfaces (as I see many comments mention), rather

Why do you find this this easier than PyQt/PySide? You can use Qt Creator to design interfaces graphically, and bundle and distribute your application with PyInstaller. This will also let you use the given platform's native interf

What trouble have you had with PyQt? I've never had any issue installing PyQt (or PySide) whatsoever, though I usually use Conda [1] with the Anaconda Python distribution, rather than the system default (which you shouldn't use, I

Why not: In my experience, Electron apps tend to be bloated, not very performant and/or energy inefficient. This means that developers make a choice regarding users' disk space, user experience and battery life. The extent to wh
