Arguing against standardized testing is arguing against A/B testing. If you can't measure it there is no way to tell whether it's getting better.

I've also considered what the parent asked. What if you diff the image with a previous MRI and just examine area's that differ.

Which phone do you have? On my iPhone4 it lags and is slow all the time. I think particularly when it's in air plane mode but it might just be my perception.

How did investors get "fleeced"? Nobody lied to them, they had all the info and just made the wrong choice. If next time investors decide to sit out Andrew Mason next business just because they did poorly on the last one. I for one will be

Long term I think self driving cars fix the traffic light problem without a cop. All the cars can just work it out over a network and go like it's a stop sign or just continue as if the light is there (if the city is on-board).

Is any of this really an argument against Arch adopting it? Arch and Gentoo and all the other rolling distros are the cowboy distros (I run Arch on my laptop). Literally anything can break with an update on Arch. Is Arch not the best place

Title is misleading. Articles seems to be picking on one particular standardized test. Does anyone want to invest in a startup that doesn't believe in collecting metrics let alone A/B testing? Why would anyone besides the teachers union adv

Why has no one hired homakov yet? Second time he's shown vulnerabilities in Github. Maybe he's not great at reporting but I would still value him more then the sexist rockstars that seem to have no problem getting jobs.

This reminds me of the saying "just because you can do something, doesn't mean you should", on the other hand it's a cool hack.

Depends on what you define as a distro. LFS and Gentoo run pretty fast on anything that will run OpenBSD. OpenBSD runs on underpowered stuff because it runs nothing by default. NetBSD is probably more portable though.

It's always interesting how people define what is a thing. He's got a good definition but he should take it a step further. Expand it to anything that you have that you would feel bad if you had to replace. The digital clutter weights on yo

I wonder how this compares to switching to a Dvorak keyboard. I tried that for a while and was much faster (my vi keyboard motions getting screwed up is why I switched back).

It's a bit of a trade off between symlinking mess and .git mess. I just prefer a cleaner home folder. I did try it all in home for a bit.
