You just linked to some random study from some random journal in order to support your statement, to make your statement sound like it's truth. [0] is an article from Indian Journal of Medical and Paediatric Oncology. No idea what the

Quitting coca cola is different from quitting caffeine though. You are quitting sugar along with caffeine.

I installed the O&O ShutUp program, which lets you disable updates indefinitely.

I actually disabled all updates a while back because of stability and driver issues when I had auto updates on. Things are a lot better now and I don't have to worry about Windows restarting on me while I'm busy working. Probably

It does help with the problem I replied to, which was code written in C. Auto indenting that code block would indent the `someotherstatement;` line correctly and I would notice that mistake. Anyway, single line if statement is a flaw in C&#

Not really. p therefore q implies not p therefore not q is a very basic logical fallacy. Making a statement does not imply it's inverse.

Does no one have auto indentation in their editors? Every so often I just select the block of code I'm editing and auto indent it, which matches indentation with semantics without me having to think about it. Annoyingly impossible to d

I think that's how it got so popular. It gets taught in school as a first language because it's "simple, beautiful", etc. and people stick with their first language as people do.

It's not really that surprising. The chess world has embraced computers as much as they can be expected to. And Kasparov was world champion, which means people value his opinion about chess.

You can look at piece value as a heuristic for the strength of your position. The problem with purely positional play without regard for material is that you could miss some tactic that forces exchanges and suddenly you're down three p

Academics regularly get away with just posting results as graphs, without even the actual numbers in the graphs given out. And certainly not data, code, etc. I've done that for multiple papers in top journals in my field, and lots of o

Sometimes I think the US could do with a communist revolution. Then I realize the semi-luxurious half acre plot my parents live in will have to be shared with a couple of other probably very poor families. I don't know, just a random t

I don't buy your analogy at all. I think a sex obsessed culture is a result of an overly sexualized media. And it's not like I'm saying ban sex. I'm saying ban pornography and prostitution, which are abuses of sex.

At least we have a decent argument here. That regulating something might lead to even worse consequences. Then the discussion should be on which is worse, a world where it is made illegal, or a world where it is regulated, or a world where

Are we just going to pretend that christian morality (in the general sense) doesn't exist and lots of people don't follow that morality? I don't see how that's a stretch unless you pretend that the morality of whole swat

Oh god...I remember my first project I just ran an ML algorithm against the dataset, got high accuracy, boasted to colleagues, and then explored the dataset only to realize it was highly unbalanced. So embarrassing.

You are conflating communities formed around religions with explanations that religions have about the world. Religions provide many different things, one being community and sense of belonging, another being a sense of understanding of the

That's not easy at all. Instructors design their course typically before the first class starts. Trying to incorporate suggestions from students -- students who have no experience teaching -- is just going to lead to disaster.

That would be really awful. The winner of the tiebreak would have a huge incentive to go for a draw. In chess, it's a lot easier to go for a win or draw than try for a win at the Grandmaster level. This would only increase the likeliho

> planetary orbits are not ellipses once you take GR effects into account Super interesting. I'm a physics major (graduated) who didn't take GR, so I didn't know this. Want to learn GR now but very likely won't haha.

When it's close to 0, it means the engine thinks the position is equal. But usually when it's exactly 0, the machine thinks the best move to play next must lead to a draw. As, in the next best move will lead to a worse position fo

Perfect play as is currently used in the chess world means you don't make moves that result in you losing your advantage or giving the other player an advantage, given current computational resources to evaluate a position. If both sid

Metafilter? Pretty sure the reason there are no arguments is they purged everyone who doesn't follow the groupthink. And the fee helps with banned people not rejoining ofcourse.

Blind people already do programming. I know a blind guy who can code really fast, much faster than my colleagues, no idea how though. Shouldn't you be researching how they code now and then work from there? I actually feel like current
