We have lots of data on sitting all day because we have a large percentage of otherwise healthy adults who sit all day. We don't have the same data for lying down all day, because that's not a thing that healthy people generally

I'm pretty sure future generations that look back on the health foibles of our modern era will not conclude that the solution to the health problems caused by sitting and working on a computer all day was lying down and working on a

Step back and listen to yourself. You are shitting on other people's preferences all over the comments and it's distasteful. If you want to advocate for carefully listening to western art music, you could hardly do it in a worse w

Is your last paragraph intended as sarcasm? It might be helpful to make that more clear...

There's also "pseudoscience". Unfortunately all too common in ML, where the ratio of published papers to genuine new developments is (charitably) at least 2:1.

Exactly. The author misunderstood Dijkstra's essay entirely, or perhaps just wanted to stir up controversy. Furthermore, it's ridiculous to condescendingly imply that Dijkstra was simply unaware of Piaget whose work was already at

OK, since you asked: Your first paragraph ("sorely missing" "required to have") reads like a criticism. The first sentence of the last paragraph ("annoying to write") sounds like "I know you don't alw

I thought using "guys" in a conversation about the use of the word "guys" would be obvious enough to register as tongue-in-cheek. But y'all went and proved me wrong!

"The one guy" is literally the opposite of uncountable. Guys, this doesn't have to be so hard. Just check the authorship before commenting about the author! If you get it wrong and someone points it out, say "oops, I sho

It doesn't mean that you don't have free will, it just means that during a one-second loop, you are constrained to logically consistent choices. You can't choose to fool yourself about your future behavior during that one sec

That what isn't the case? Pointing out additional threat vectors doesn't in any way contradict my point.

You don't need to read it, you just need to be able to read it. Just because there are risks doesn't mean the risks are meaningfully comparable.

Who is "we" here? Have you worked on a browser?

I have always assumed this term was in widespread and general use in the US business culture. Is that not the case?

Based on what I've read of Taleb, if you think he doesn't understand some patently obvious facts about probability, it's going to take more than saying that you watched a video and didn't think it made sense for me to gi

by inimino 6y ago
That is precisely how probabilities work. If you have a simulation that gives an 80% chance of one outcome, but you only have 75% confidence that the assumptions that the simulation is based on, your actual prediction should be closer to 50

The number of pages with Flash content was also massive for many years. There must be some discipline to remove things from the web platform or it will die. XPath predates CSS selectors being exposed to JS, and it is absolutely clear that X

Are you serious? People are concerned about the loss of jobs due to the software our industry creates, and your response is to imagine a completely made-up scenario where that person gets a new, more fulfilling job that you literally just m

I was also baffled. However, if you follow the link to the "why we use docker" post you'll see the author is using a Mac and had difficulty before while following instructions written for Linux. Data scientists using Macs for

If you would think for a moment about the time scale over which these things develop ("one funeral at a time") you'd recognize how absurd a question this is.

But then where would the business value be for Github? We could have a federated system of independent git instances, something vastly more innovative, dynamic, and anti-fragile than Github could ever be, and this is the world we could have
