Many are, but some of the "errors" are not helpful while code is in progress. Why do I need to see them while typing if they can be easily auto-fixed later? It's just more useless visual clutter to worry about.

A team I'm doing some work with uses eslint and has not configured prettier, so instead of simply having everything get formatted correctly, I get red squiggly lines under blocks of code because of an omitted meaningless whitespace cha

Right. I wish modern DAWs and digital instruments let the user choose from a wide variety of tunings. I'm not arguing that equal temperament is always what will sound the best for a particular composition.

In the Western music scale there are mathematical reasons why there has to be some temperament, in other words some way of prioritizing some harmonies over others.

Not true at all. Some of Microsoft's best minds created extremely ingenious methods that allowed early word processors to be usable on files that were dramatically larger than what would fit in memory. OSes didn't support suitab

This is the point that many of the commenters who criticize Microsoft are missing, and it's why the old formats are not enabled by default (security vulnerabilities) and why it's not as simple as creating a parser.

A toggle button should show its current state. A checkbox is a good example. Muted [] vs Muted [x] It's pretty obvious. What gets tricky is when designers create UI that does not have as clear a connection between the word used and th

True it is both creepy and patronizing. Let's hope it is a temporary practice due to fear of government bans. If not I could imagine a world in which an uncensored LLM would be available for $500 per month. FWIW I look forward to aski

I built something like this years ago but I reverse geocoded all addresses in wikipedia and plotted all of the points -- there are a lot of places that are not actually geocoded in the data. Wikipedia has grown a lot since then!

Point taken. It's a difficult issue indeed. A few more: - If both US political parties agree on it, it's probably a bad idea. - Any time we are told that a foreign leader is insane or unstable, it's propaganda intended to deh

The only way to cultivate a lot of good TikTok shops is to allow a lot to be created and then filter them down. TikTok used this strategy with creators in the beginning when it was easy for anyone to go live. Strategically, TikTok is int

Exactly. A new level of modularity will be possible. Pretty incredible! Also parametric designs of modules (a function call with 3.3v vs 5v, or 8bit vs 12bit ADC) all the way down.

This is great! So many ways to improve upon the status quo approaches to circuit design -- notably allowing a single representation to be used for design through spice through layout.

Do we know that general IQ tests are not also something that a person can improve on with practice?
471.
by resters 3y ago
True. Having the will to prepare for one test (such as the SAT) might indicate a will to prepare for other tests, such as those considered for academic performance ratings.

by resters 3y ago
this says more (good stuff) about Dartmouth than it does about the standardized tests. If scoring higher on something that is close to an IQ test doesn't predict higher academic performance, what does that say about the coursework?

I think at high traffic times it gets slightly different parameters that make it more likely to do that. I've had the best results during what I think are off-peak hours.

In my view, the presence of YAML templating is a red flag in any codebase or system. YAML got its popularity with the advent of Ruby on Rails, largely due to the simplicity of the database.yml file as an aid in database connection string
