I get what is being said. There can be a delay in waiting for a review, but in my experience that's more an issue of bad discipline. I do get the point about pair programming making reviews near-redundant, though I'd be inclined t

Being told something makes less of an impression than figuring it out. When an author explicitly states the theme of their work, there is nothing to think about or consider. Personally, I much prefer stuff that makes me do some of the legwo

Searle's argument in the Chinese Room is only that passing the Turing Test isn't enough to prove evidence of Mind (capital 'm' to distinguish it at the philosophical jargon term, and all it entails). He does hold the sta

Doesn't that mean it supports the Chinese room argument? I'm not sure I follow your reasoning. (also, popular conciousness forgets that technically the Chinese Room argument is only arguing against the much narrower, and now philo

Fascinating. Despite being a Gibson fan I didn't know about this poem or its distribution, nor that he had this kind of technical know-how -- though I don't find myself surprised

Is this intended to be a "from-zero" Chinese learning tool in itself? Or just for literacy for people who can speak and make sense of Chinese grammar already? How does it deal with teaching the common grammatical particles like 的,

I'm not sure I understand this argument? Her critique is about a lack of results in particle physics beyond the standard model. What is the bounty that critique is to produce in results? It would be disproved not by further lack of res

I use `fish` as my main shell. It's closer to POSIX than eshell or oil, but it's definitely not POSIX. Personally, the main thing I like about it is that I can't copy paste bash commands. It forces me to read and understand a

I hate reading text on a screen. I begrudgingly put up with it. Paper is just so much easier on the eyes. The magazines I subscribe to are all literature and poetry though.

This was quite interesting. I used to play in a lot of bands like these and wrote many songs and it's funny because although I have kind of basic musical theory knowledge, I often felt like I couldn't really map the riffs I wrote
