Exactly this. I don't have a degree, but I still got the first job I ever applied to (as a full-time BI dev, not internship). I was lucky that they had an entrance "exam" that I could use to prove my capability. The entrance

Sorry, I'm afraid I'm much less experienced than you think I am. My comment's value is entirely in sharing the slides, I only put some of my thoughts there so that my comment isn't just a link to a google drive file.

My first thought when I saw the title: why would you want to do that? I feel like the only justification it gave (faster feedback) is way too insignificant compared to the downsides of developing inside a notebook. Joel Grus has a presentat

A good example of this was when the hungarian state television reported on a protest. The reporter stood blocks away from the protest itself and reported that there were practically no protesters. In contrast, a non-state owned television&#

We can measure that the Universe is homogeneous and isotropic on sufficiently large scales (it is according to the measurements). We can also measure the 'flatness' of the Universe (it is very likely to be flat, according to measu

Perhaps my exact point didn't get through well. I find that exactly this kind of phrasing is what's bad, because I fear that it isn't interpreted as "new physics" or "overhalued physics" as in cozzyd&#

I think this problem is solved already, see this video about TrackIR from 1:00 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_AO0F5sLdVM (it is called motion scaling). Of course people may still get injuries from this if they do it for 4

Are you familiar with the saying "In Europe 100 miles is a long way, In the US 100 years is a long time"?

Oh my god, do we really have selfie-friendly stores now? I get it from the company's standpoint (free advertisement), but it is appalling to me it is now normal to feel the urge to post in social media about purchasing an overpriced le

I think biology would have "solved" the problem in this case. Without regulation and sustained pollution, the population would eventually decrease enough (through migration and increased mortality rate) to reduce pollution.

I frequently hear this argument, and my first reaction was to agree with this. However I don't think that creating a flexible grid that can handle the erratic generation and consumption of power is as easy as it sounds. My gut feeling

Hi! I really like your project. Perhaps others have suggested it already, but it would be nice to read the man pages directly from the app (currently it gives man: command not found error for me).

I would think that the ratio of "interactive" viewers is higher for streams with less viewers (because of the different atmosphere, non-professional streamers being able to interact more personally with the audience...).

I'm a bit confused by the CEO of Google preaching for spending less time staring at your screen. Doesn't their company's value depend strongly on this metric? My guess would be that its only for show, but shouldn't the s

I completely agree, it was a really big relief when I read the last 3 sentences of the abstract. I was expecting the typical "sensationalist" ending where surprise, surprise the original hypothesis of the researchers turned out to

But there are methods to deal with more or less all of these problems, that is why social scientists learn research design/methodology separately so much. In my opinion being able to replicate results should still be required to accep

Wow, so well documented trips! I really like how you could turn your life around and show others how this can be achieved. Definitely the most inspiring thing I started reading this year, kudos!

I think another relevant part of the argument is the 6th paragraph: > Elver said many of the pesticides are used on commodity crops, such as palm oil and soy, not the food needed by the world’s hungry people: “The corporations are not de

Do you understand any of this? This notation is entirely unfamiliar to me, and the text seems like gibberish (my favourite expression is "The most colossally great global unification"). I'm also a bit skeptical about one pers

I'm not familiar with high-frequency literature, but you can rarely measure something with 100% accuracy. Despite this, your house got built even if its measurements were taken with a +-0.5cm error. So if the noise is sufficiently smal

I never considered this, but actually reserving IP addresses and telephone numbers for using in examples and fiction (as listed in the Example domains and names section) must be necessary. I'm curious how effective a prank would it be

I imagine useful-but-not-inherently-profitable stuff like this would be supported voluntarily by its userbase. And if you're as popular as Reddit, I guess there must be a couple of big patrons whose support alone is bigger than the upk

In the case of Chernobyl, I would argue that the area is not poisoned "pretty much forever". The effects of radiation on local wildlife is up for debate[0], but note the fact that mammal population is increasing(cited in [0]). Fro
