As this described by the NYT (maybe the original paper describes it better?), there's all sorts of problems with this conclusion: - A very small sample size - Confounding factors: one group consists of collegiate runners (i.e., college

I guess the state of the art is more complicated than the Department of Astrophysics in the comic admits.

I love hearing Russ Roberts of econ talk ( http://www.econtalk.org/ ), but he's almost always interviewing someone. It would be cool to hear him because (1) he interviews a lot of people who either write about or are inv

My weekends are just as busy as my weeks. I have a wife and two daughters that I do stuff with on weekends, and other family members I like to see. This process seems to presume that I somehow have "free-time" on weekends.

As someone who is both Catholic and a software engineer, I find quite the opposite - people today are all too quick to villainize religion in general and Catholics in particular. I see people point out short comings that make up a relativel

As others have said, if you're asking about the title specifically, it depends on the company. I was one of those "Senior" developers when I was in my mid twenties at a start-up, whereas for my current company it's actua

Something I haven't seen anyone mention yet: the part of discrete math where proofs, particular proofs by induction. It is a huge help to be able to think in terms of recursive algorithms in many applications, and proofs by induction b

Russell comes across, here as in most places, as ignorant about what religious people believe. Anyone looking for a more balanced take should read Chesterton's Orthodoxy.

Can't say I've been following Common Core too closely (my kids are 3 and 1 respectively, so there'll be a bit before it affects me directly). But these example questions just seem completely to be arguing with a strawman: The
