This. Anonymizing feedback, as best as situationally possible, or 1-on-1 discussions can partially solve it. Meetings are best used for sharing solid positive ideas.

No amount of preaching will change the world that works by law of least resistance. There will be more of such cases if those code snippets aren't reviewed somehow while results of the review prioritized over invalid code. It can be do

The first thought I had about the title was: wow, they designed a methodology for procedural genearation of storylines that don't suck. Turned out it is about socially useful side-effects of gaming and gamification of work. Wonder why

Personally I found no situations where oversimplified indication of failure is fine in such contexts. If service is down users should know it is down and it is not a failure of their device or network connection. It is normal to skip specif

People criticizing a good console application for lacking a GUI indicate need for such a GUI, this is not criticism per se. It is useful information too. But many developers just don't have necessary time or will to code it and this ne

I agree, this is not simplified, it is oversimplified and not a good practice.

It can be actually positive anyway. You just need to understand that strong emotions often stem from unfulfilled or broken expectations. It is not about you, it is about them. Some people just don't vocalize those expectations in the i

If people say either of those the problem is with your product UX design in the first place. There should be distinct progress indication for long operations and human-readable feedback for every failure mode, even if simplified, to avoid o

So basically it looks like an overblown attempt to steady itself?

I think control theory: feedback loops, sensors, signal, noise, filters, gain graphs etc should be rather useful in describing free will from a scientific standpoint.

It seems more related to undermining users' trust by selling their data to GlaxoSmithKline two years ago.

This should be treated as warning for people on the part of spectrum: most women's non-STEM communities (and some men's, though I found much less examples) are places to synchronize emotions, not to exchange facts. If you forget t

They do have native search engines with neat option to add them from a site's search field. Why not add keywords too as they did on desktop. I feel silly adding bookmarks for the things I already have in search engine list.

Opensource is not about having a source code but having a license to use it. You can easily get in trouble with them if you'll distribute your non-trival modifications otherwise.

At this point the source is pretty much useless except for archival reasons or HTML support on low-end devices. It will require rewrite from the ground to adapt to modern tech. It did work well for its time but wasn't made for change a

Recently Microsoft forced millions of github users to either deanonymize using 2fa or get annoyed by their forced device verification. It was pure trolling for some: evil hackers can lock you out of your accounts with unaccessible email1!!

I wonder why there is so little research on creating/analyzing vector art and vectorising existing images using ANNs. There are so much possibilities there: using closed circuits or gestalt blobs for colorizing, flawless style transfe

It will start cutting out actual origin footage at some point because non-obvious ads are already there from the beginning mixed with primary content in a way they can't be easily separated.

But can't you verify a good theory of RPG by creating a novel game that will be much appreciated or fixing some existing games making them more interesting? Like how music theory improved musicians' work and resulted in a better m

And I don't judge the choice. But implying that by switching one problem for another makes either of them not worthy of solving or considering on its own, because the other seems bigger, just feels wrong.

I see all those hypotheses but are those verifiable? Did they result in some solid explanations that allowed useful predictions to be made? Or do they play "my idea is better" game? (edit: yeah, silently downvote people asking que

I kind of wish more sites assigned dimensions to `img` tags too. Unspecified or scripted dimensions make mess more often than not.
