It really all depends on the methodology. I recommend some reading about 'p-hacking'. It is not that hard to find to find really shocking findings in large datasets -- the question is how hard you look. In this particular case, th

I'm not sure. Psychology and sociology has such a horrible track record when it comes to reproducibility of studies that have some kind of political significance that we just have to be careful. In case of these topics, there's a

It would be really-really important to use pre-registration especially in socially sensitive studies like this one. It is possible that these numbers are artifacts even if the stated p value is low. I'm not saying that the study is wro

How would that make any sense at all? States can't really go bankrupt if their debt is denominated in the currency they control.

The 'personal agenda' refers to the fact that it is unclear whether these values represent the opinion of an overwhelming majority at Google. Some of these statements are _actually_ controversial. (Without saying whether I persona

One difficulty I see with the mission statement ( https://alphabetworkersunion.org/principles/mission-statemen... ) is that it is very broad, and contains a lot of progressive values that are likely not as widely shared

Maybe I'm just nitpicking, in that case I apologize, but: Treating someone as a friend and being friendly are very different. Sometimes I am very assertive, pushy with my friends, and make them uncomfortable. I'd like to think tha

Stuff I really-really dislike when people start talking about 'adjustments because of difference in cost of living'. Stop that bullshit. Be frank, and say that compensations will be different because the market is different. That&

WSL2 mostly solves the problem of manual memory partitioning.

Actually, I'd go even further: you don't really see comments from _any_ bigco employees except a few SV-based ones, Google might be the most well-represented here. Maybe that's because Google has/used to have a culture i

I don't think that's the case. Psychology (however weak grounds it stands on) says that the primary reason for burnout is losing the belief that your work matters and then continuing that work for a prolonged period.

Thanks, I get it now. And because the contract is immutable, it won't ever give it back to you (unless there's a flaw/vulnerability in it).

I'm not sure that FLOSS developers have no plans to monetize. First, many of those devs offer paid support. Or their employability gets better. Etc. If people could not get any reward whatsoever out of FLOSS, it would be a much less ac

Because UI snappiness is not the only thing that matters. One example: Jira integrates with _everything_. It really matters that you can create tickets from Slack, send email to the management when epics progress, see Github pull requests l

Swarm was great. It takes literally 30 seconds to put together a cluster with a few nodes. (1 command per host.) The problem was that Docker Inc. tried to push people towards Docker EE (that had all kinds of extra functionality above pure S

"Ok Google" gets triggered by stuff like "OK cool", that I often say. It's maddening.

I do this with my superiors all the time. They really appreciate it, because without this they'd be flying blind as managers. Useful, fact-based, clear bottom-up feedback is super-valuable.

You can do this with Slack as well. There's no sophisticated UI (yet), but the history is there.

It's really slow. Really interestingly I've been using a Windows, a Linux and a MacOS machine for many months, swapping them often. Well, Windows/Linux are on the same Ryzen 2700X with a Geforce 1080Ti, the Mac is a 2018 Mini
