On iOS the phone gifs are comically long.

That’s a rather baseless claim.

Uh, that’s not clear at all given how they report cases.

This is so laughable.

This sounds more like a fundamental misunderstanding of color spaces (and gamuts) than anything.

These sorts of books have existed since the dawn of notebooks. While I think them useful for demonstrations, I don’t think there is much pedantic value (beyond a more static medium) in all honesty. Well-worked examples a student can consult

Ostracizing ex-members occurs in nearly every tight knit social group, especially ones predicated upon adherence to some ideology. It’s a basic tenant of human tribalism, and religions are perhaps the most tribal social groups we have ever

Relative individual consistency is not a necessary component in these systems, except perhaps in the most simplistic. It’s not exactly difficult to introduce temporal normalization / regularization into these models. I don’t have any s

It’s not clear what you disagree with, since everything you mention is entirely a personal benefit. The company itself only increases its risk with feedback simply by exposing a larger surface area to potentially contest.

Do any serious developers who are not already steeped in the MS ecosystem actually clamor to work in that environment? Half of the tools I use on a daily basis are not MS friendly.

This subtlety, to me, only comes into play when you cast it in a Bayesian context, because then you are forced to consider the probability that Monty reveals a goat. But the approach fundamentally breaks down because you can’t actually comp

The probability only changes if Monty can remove a prize door and does not reveal a goat. Monty’s motivations and knowledge are completely irrelevant in the context of the original problem, because his actions are effectively forced (he re

To be fair, there’s also quite a few published studies showing a positive effect for various pseudoscientific medical practices. Those studies just tend to be very poorly designed, executed, controlled, and don’t represent the actual litera

I wouldn’t take things so personally, and instead let your work stand for itself. Overly emotional attachment to one’s technical ideas and works is only a recipe for eventual mental stagnation. To be clear though, I’m not claiming this is n

There is a broader ethical discussion of how to treat data, nominally public, that is increasingly collected, persisted and analyzed indefinitely by adversarial agents. It seems clear to me that a more nuanced categorization is required. Th

Methodological naturalism as applied to the scientific Certainly has no dependence on atheism. Who categorizes science as an intrinsically atheistic endeavor other than religious apologists?

That is an entirely unconvincing argument. Social Networks facilitate those sorts of activities to an astonishingly marginal degree.

Fascinating how we still have yet to find a single carcass of a massive land mammal that lives close enough to civilization for there to be regular sightings. Also strange that the video evidence is so spectacularly subpar that the most con

I’ve had this exact experience with probably a dozen sites. Truly astounding.

To be fair, my 2011 MPB’s battery swelled. I think the securing screws were stripped during installation, and I couldn’t even replace the battery myself.

I’m not sure if this is serious not. The best evidence is of such embarrassing quality that it serves as a master class in human cognitive bias and logical fallacies. It’s at the same level as the evidence for paranormal hauntings, parapsyc

One benefit of adopting the currying view is that you also introduce the Tensor-Hom adjunction (since currying is itself just the corresponding non-linear adjunction on the category Set). That being said, understanding the universal propert

Gee, you sure convinced me with that textbook use of tu quoque.

I’m skeptical. I live and work in SF and frequent fancy coffee shops. I have never seen $10 plus prices for basic espresso-based drinks, although $4-6 isn’t uncommon. A $10 coffee must of had some other markup applied or been a specialty dr

My background is in pure mathematics, where an isomorphism is a structure preserving map between two objects. The description “an isomorphic...JavaScript function” does not make grammatical sense to me, unless the implication is that this f

That’s the first thing I noticed too. Not that it truly matters, but it makes me wonder if the creator actually played the NES.

I’ve been following these studies for awhile. The biggest red flag for me is that the effect is constrained to male rates. This is exactly the sort of result you expect to see when not sufficiently controlling for multiple statistical ana

I personally find function keys useless (I’m mostly in Vim and map things to leader + mnemonic key sequences), so the Touch Bar tends to offer more value for things like media control. It really boils down to personal use, rather than a fun

I’ve never understood the impetus for not using full LaTeX in an academic contex, given that the boiler plate is so minimal and presumably one has a built up a personal template over time. For blog posts and notes I see the appeal, since th
