I tweeted about this yesterday, from the article: > "Students remembered 57 per cent ... written in Sans Forgetica, compared to 50 per cent .... in Ariel" 7% delta retention isn't so much, is it?

I recently watched Google's internal leaked documentary, The Selfish Ledger [1], I think it has a really interesting perspective on this. Halfway through, the user is able to make a choice between two competing products, based on their

We had a thread a couple weeks ago "What interesting thought did you read on HN but couldn't find later?" - I'm wondering if anyone can help me rediscover this Wikipedia article. It was a theory on the cognitive bias of

The Finns have had something similar to this for decades: dish racks that are cupboards [1]. I wonder why such cheap solutions are not thought of first [1] https://i.pinimg.com/736x/a8/d0/d5/a8d0d5ce749c4

To further explain, I know it can sound confusing just saying we've done away with all trust, when in fact we're just replacing it with something different. Blockchains allow parties to achieve consensus without trusting any other

[related] Has anyone considered the possibility of a Spectre-style attack in Ethereum's Turing-complete EVM? Not that the state would be unique for all contracts, but there's a possibility of communicating to an external contract

The difficulty is necessary for moderating consensus given more 'voters' (with their flops) joining the network. I'm interested by your idea, but you would need to work by a different consensus model. Proof-of-stake would be

Depends on the context. If you're writing a CRUD web app with simple business logic, is the mental priming of data structures like arrays relevant helping you develop?

I love this idea of Huffman coding the syntax- I've been thinking recently it wouldn't be difficult to crawl all the packages of NPM for example, encode them into their AST's, and use algorithms to analyse them. e.g. trying t

Oh this piques my curiosity, big time! There is a large gap in software for non-linear thinking/sketching. It's not obvious for tasks that require linear thinking, like programming, but when you are trying to explore solutions in

Yeah I get you. Because Ethereum has such an enterprise-facing governance (eg. Ethereum Enterprise Alliance) most of the education that goes into it is to business and big corps right now. Do you mind if I get your email and send you someth
