Well if it's so hard to criticise them, that could be an indication that there is some truth in them. > they are all so vapid I like that he doesn't make sweeping statements. Because in software development, to quote another gr

Sure but that's just shifting the burden from one place to another. It doesn't take away the fact that cost of living in Germany has increased due to the shift to renewable energy. (disclaimer: I'm not against renewable energ

by misja111 3y ago
I'm sorry but this article is full of nonsense. I'm a firm proponent of renewable energy so I'd like it to be true, but there is no way in the world that the drop in gas- and coal energy generation in the EU last year was cau

The Bible states that God created light, stars and earth in seven days; on day 3 He created the earth, on day 4 the stars. That seems rather incompatible with the big bang theory.

I love the self-checkouts, I have been using them since 5 years now and only very rarely do I still checkout out at the cashier. Here in Switzerland I also don't seen any sign of supermarkets backing out of it, quite the contrary. I gu

And vendor lock-in. Airlines have invested in education for their pilots and maintenance employees, and in Boeing specific maintenance equipment.

if this were the case, then you'd expect these modern uncorrelated funds to outperform the sp500 in times when the market went down, right? However this is not the case, the sp500 also outperformed most funds in e.g. 2020. See e.g. ht

Who says it's over? The current US fed rate is only at its 50 year historical average now, and most investors expect the fed to considerably lower its rates again this year.

It still is a 1 in a million chance if you have no a priori knowledge about the way the random numbers are distributed.

@hurril the equivalent of frameworks in Haskell, in the context of this discussion, are language extensions. I'd say the situation with those is even worse than the framework fad problem in Java or Javascript.

by misja111 3y ago
No it's not isolated to languages like Java and Javascript. I've programmed in Scala and Haskell as well, and you see the same phenomenon there as well. It's human nature. 'The grass is always greener on the other side&#

The problem is not the framework, it's the mindset of the SD community that tends to mindlessly run after the latest hype, abandoning the previous framework that everybody embraced 3 years ago.

That's a good question. I can't imagine that you'd need to use this to track normal garbage collected memory. There were pretty good tools already in place for that. I guess what you'd want to use this for, is when your

You don't seem to understand where that 1atm air pressure on the surface of the earth is coming from. Hint: on the surface of the Moon there is none. In the ISS the air pressure is artificially kept at a certain level. To make a proper

by misja111 3y ago
Yes but I think OP was referring to the lack of pressure. Without gravity, no pressure -> water will violently boil.

Well the evidence is actually in the white paper that the article is about. Amazingly, in the white paper the correlation between crimes and single parent households is one of the weakest. The strongest by far is poverty. It must have taken

Thank you, I should have read the white paper better, you are right, the correlation with single parent households is actually one of the weakest. By the way, do I read correctly from the regression analysis stats, that "single young m

by misja111 3y ago
I think you are swapping cause and effect here.
355.
by misja111 3y ago
But if one factor correlates more with crime than all the others, it sure looks like that one is the cause.

Sure, but apparently the chance that it survives 476K year is > 0. That would imply that the chance of finding preserved wood anywhere in [11K .. 476K] is > 0 as well. Given such a large period with nothing found in it, and given that
357.
by misja111 3y ago
Yeah I agree that the article's explanation seems unlikely. A jump from 11K to 476K years ago just seems too big, one would expect that we would have found plenty of other wooden structures in the period in between if people had been m

I would like to go further and state that just optimism by itself feels inherently good. Even though pessimism can minimize impact of all kind of negative future live events, it won't make you any happier if you will always be as pessi
