Campbell's law is not simply a "social variant" of Goodhart's law. The two have a subtle but crucial difference. To paraphrase a DonaldTrumpism, Goodhart's law says "Sounds good, doesn't work". Wherea

I find it highly unlikely that Scott Adams is a "dark dog whistle" kinda guy. At best the most I'd believe would be that "some people who Scott Adams pissed off now like to say that when he says X he actually means Y&quo

What you're against seems to be bad practices that could be more easily abused with UTF, rather than UTF itself. I think the benefits could outweigh the harms, but some of it would indeed depend on good conventions being followed. As f

I'm not a cmake user (which probably explains the next sentences), but what I can't understand is why would you not just use make? Whenever I've had to use cmake as a user to compile a project, it never seemed to be doing any

The problem with "subscription models" isn't "subscription models" per se, it's greed. People aren't showing aversion to "subscription vs non-subscription models", they're showing an aversio

Well, the study was not an RCT, so the authors by necessity argue for the presence of an association, but are technically not claiming a casual relationship (even if the wording does a heavy 'wink wink' at the reader). That, and a

It's weird to me that you differentiate "Russians vs Moldovans". I have met many people from Moldova whose first language is Russian, and identify as Moldovan. To me it sounds as weird as if you'd said something like &qu

This looks great! Does it work in a way that would make it need to be "authorized" by the organization? Recently I wanted to use the alpine terminal email client, which does support OAuth2, but I was thwarted by a notice saying &q

It's literally what the extension does and what it's for. It's a bit weird to call intended functionality for sonething you install explicitly for that purpose an "ad". Let alone an "obnoxious" one. I mean

Apologies, I didn't mean "hide". I meant "bury". As in, obtain the patent as a means to prevent others from exploiting the technology, but refrain from licensing it or exploiting it yourself, because it would underm

I'd call 'hostile media bias' on this one. I have the same impression about all parties, but with a bias towards liberal politicians instead (without identifying as republican as far as i'm concerned). Perhaps this in it
