Automated testing scales easily, but properly reviewing code/proofs/technical prose really doesn't. Lecturing scales even more easily, though maybe not if you want students to be asking questions in class.

Everyone I've seen do this takes bottles too, and it's because they can redeem the bottles and cans to collect a state-mandated deposit.

Well, do you think my comment demonstrates deep understanding of database design? No, it seems about on about the same level as being able to paraphrase the abstract of a paper about the system. I would not take it as showing that someone

Most of the UP is quite desolate, and this area, even more so since it’s not on the way to anywhere. And even when Phoenix was on my way somewhere, I don't think I ever stopped there.

Depends on just how remote you want to be. Broadband is available in the more populated towns. When I was in Houghton, the only major service interruption I remember was from a backhoe operator digging where he shouldn't.

And then when someone does publish work in that venue, are others doing related research supposed to refuse to acknowledge related published work? That's a pretty serious ethics breach in itself.

If you go to sleep at the same time (relative to actual-midnight) and get up an hour before school, you get more sleep when school starts later. That still doesn't seem all that helpful. If my high school had started at 10 instead of

The ones I'm familiar with avoid Turing-completeness in order to ensure that all functions are total. In doing so, they remain quite expressive but not enough to write interpreters for themselves. So the usually straightforward strateg

I have found the position of my finger in relation to a touchscreen has a substantially weaker correlation with successfully pressing the button I want than the position of the thread in relation to a needle's eye has with successfully

I've given up on my Facebook-curated timeline. Now I just have a "friend list" with all of my friends on it, and I read that list's feed instead.

Then it would be working as intended. Jobs where labor isn't so scarce as to push prevailing wages up really high don't need extra labor brought into the market. The remaining concern is distorted markets like foreign language tea

Peer review can still inspect whether the evidence presented in a paper would—if not fabricated—truly be enough to support the paper's conclusion. Mistaken analysis of honestly collected data, improper experimental methods, flawed proo

A pokemon can be one (or two) of a bunch of different types like "bug" or "rock" or "ghost," each of which comes with a particular set of types it's vulnerable to (2x damage taken) and another set of types

In my country we have a word to describe this, it’s called “dannelse”, and I can’t find an English word for it. The closest thing I’ve been able to come up with to describe it is: ”give people a broad, general basis for developing their ta

Yeah, there's a huge difference between "so-and-so left a PhD program to start a company based on his research" and "so-and-so read a web framework tutorial instead of going to college."

I'd rather depend just on there being a handful of other people who want to go where I want to go than on there being an active railroad as well.

That was my initial guess as well, but I was a bit confused -- unless bags of rice were getting destroyed without being opened, it would be pretty easy for corrupt distributors to send back the ACK postcards anyway. This out-of-band checksu

On a related note, I suspect cities primarily relying on cost-of-living arguments to attract people may actually be subtly signalling the reverse of what ambitious people are drawn to. A city's primary signal should be the vibrancy of

Just having a large number of small producers does not imply that the market has the amount of product differentiation GP is asking for. Wine I see on shelf does not make much attempt to distinguish itself stylistically from the other produ

That's basically how the market works, but how much that happens depends on the extent to which universities are actually willing to pay more for things they think/say they don't have enough of.

As has been pointed out before, statistics like these "for every five open faculty positions, only one is filled" are incredibly misleading. Also, still trying to dig up the last article I read about this, but didn't that f
