Does some sort of batched style of research already exist? By batched, I mean a study where n number of teams all agree on a single methodology, and then conduct the same experiment simultaneously. Each team could then publish their results

I'm with you. I've been riding with Safari for almost 20 years now. It's been nothing but great for me. I cannot think of a time I have used a website that did not function properly in Safari. Prior to the reintroduction of U

I have no idea what the parent meant by, "My guess is that your ASM is inflected by structured programming everywhere." (I am the GP) Your response was far better than mine. If those instructions were executed more than a couple o

To be honest, I do not have much experience with C nor BASIC. I only know the extreme basics of C, and I have never written a line of BASIC in my entire life. My first real exposure to programming was in high school (Java). From there, I ba

Addictions require harm in one or more areas of your life, and the compulsive use or inability to stop despite the harm(s). I imagine many diabetics crave insulin when they cease its usage.

My understanding is that addictions have to have an element of psychosocial or physiological harm. Particularly compulsive usage and the inability to despite the harms is when something becomes an addiction. Quitting coffee might give someo

So, I have never seen anyone actually use GOTOs, so maybe a lot of the stigma comes from excessive, poor usage or something. However, having written a good chunk of ASM in my life. I don't think jumps or branches are really that hard t

I say this as someone with ADHD: The issue is that ADHD is not real in the organic sense. Well, at least the evidence is scant. It's more of a description than a disorder. It's not something one "has." I like to compare

That is not a characteristic of ADHD. Th most damaging thing to ADHD is the myth that the medications affect people with ADHD differently. It is the most pseudoscientific piece of information that is commonly repeated. As for tolerance, it

But how does one know? According to some studies, spontaneous remission happens in about half the cases of depression in a given year. It's happened to me plenty of times. That's why I refuse to medications. All I have to do is ju

You're not wrong. The United States has a legal system and not a justice system. Having spent many years of my life involved 'adjacently' with the system, I'd say it's actually a rigged, sadistic system.

Man, I was about to try setting one up with Emacs since an issue I had has finally been fixed, and now I am questioning if it's even worth the effort. Not sure if you are on Emacs 31 yet, but another HNer told me the version issue was

I'm on your side of the argument, but while that research may be evidence, it's not definitive proof.

The Mortal Kombat movie from 1995 should be considered equal in quality to the works of Bach, Da Vinci, Shakespeare, et al. Mortal Kombat 1995 is a paragon of human expression. If you are willing to accept TV shows, the first season of The

I remember reading a study a while back about learning from videos at 1.5x to 2x speed. The key observation that actually made the learning more efficacious was to watch the video at 2x speed two times back to back. Apparently, this method
