It is considered not definitive, given the sample size of 1, confirmation bias, amped-up placebo effect, lack of oversight, conflict of interest when the patient is the investigator… but you’re usually allowed to do what you want with your

Python got adopted by academics around ‘10, because it had lower barriers for new programmers than Java (now legacy) and C (now a specialization). The language and tooling options of today mean that the initial reasons for academia embracin

Chopin is associated with waltzes and mazurkas, both of which are dance forms in triple meter. A mazurka will emphasize either its measures’ second beats or third beats. This might be kind of difficult to identify in Lang Lang’s interpretat

This is genuinely a good waltz. Sometimes, they will discover a lost piece by some known composer, and the media will pick it up. But imo, when you have a listen, it often turns out that the piece had been lost for a reason. What makes this

Imagine Google not having the resources to maintain their V8 engine after the hiring downturn, and telling us they want to change JavaScript because their V8 engine has become challenging to maintain. A proposal rooted in attempts to impr

You’re making me realize that oop is essentially a framework. Other frameworks—-like jQuery, Express, or Handlebars—-get unfairly short-shrifted in the curriculum. One of the systemic dynamics with OOP is that Oracle invested itself into Ja

Why automate the analysis of an MRI when the bottleneck is that they only have two MRI machines in the whole city, for some reason?

It’s possible that OOP is taught in universities because professors who grew up with it already know how to fill a semester with this sort of content. The tail inheriting the dog. Of all the topics that CS programs teach, it makes intuitive

If I remember correctly, there was a “Continental Army.” It wasn’t drawn from the whole continent, but it was enough to fight a whole war with the British army and win.

The Swiss cheese model fits better as a rebuttal when the cheese comprises both the finger-pointer and the finger-pointee. Think: sure, our software had a bug that said up was down, but what about all of your own employees who used the soft

I always thought the Swiss cheese model was used to suggest that no one party could possibly be responsible for a bad thing that happened. Interesting to see the company’s culture blamed for the cheese itself.

The type system is a big part and elements of that have shown up elsewhere. I’m with you on the belief that we should have better adoption for immutability, pure functions, and equational reasoning. JavaScript promises can work analogously
