Rubocop organizes violations into a set of distinct 'cops', each of which is responsible for checking for a single type of style violation - about half of them can be autocorrected (--auto-correct argument from the command line).

I think the biggest improvement we made to our outlook on the topic was to separate 'getting hurt' into subcategories of 'pain', 'damage', and 'lasting harm'. Without those subcategories being explici

There are dozens of 'democratic schools' (many of which do self-describe as 'sudbury' schools) operating - http://sudburyschoolofatlanta.org/ is the one near me.

Of course it has philosophical implications. The problem is that philosophers largely don't understand QM well enough to talk about them. To be fair, many physicists don't either.

Jira is insanely configurable - if using jira is painful, that means that your jira admin has not configured it well for your workflow. The config my company is using makes it somewhat more pleasant than stock bugzilla or trac (though not n

Retail transaction/loyalty, network traffic, financial, and health data. To be clear 'big data' is poorly defined, and I mostly do not work with terabyte+ data sets, but rather with highly dimensional data in moderate volume.

I find research that starts with the assumption that humans require identical amounts of anything to be absurd. People are metabolically different from each other - the optimal average has no bearing on what I should do, it only indicates

No controlled study was done, so any unexpected confounding factors would invalidate the results. This type of study is nearly pointless when trying to demonstrate a causal link.

You end up with about 0.01% of tweets having locations after that. It's basically just iphone users.

Their geo-data is utter crap. The vast majority of it is based on 'profile location', which means that there are almost a million people tweeting from the exact center of Atlanta. It's a crowded spot, must be a Starbucks th

Most of that data is not the content of the tweet itself, but the metadata associated with it. When I last checked, we were storing about a kilobyte of data for every tweet. Also, tweets are limited to 140 characters , not bytes - chines

Skills are skills, and religious rules are behaviors or habits (depending). You can of course define 'quality' incredibly broadly if you want, but I meant it in the sense of 'personality characteristics' or 'charact

I don't have any problem with studies of child development, and have found some of them quite interesting. The problem comes not from gaining knowledge, but from attempting to apply that knowledge inexpertly. Most humans are not equipp

Children are not mechanisms, and you cannot engineer them into shape with your 'highly valuable technical knowledge'. (implied insult redacted - sorry about that.)

You are both right and wrong. Children are not identical to adults, and treating them like they should be free to make all of their own decisions at 5 years of age would be negligent. But they are like adults in many ways that we tend to ig
