Sensitivity and specificity! That title is a bit misleading :) I too could write a test that identifies autism 97% of the time: return Random.Get(0, 100) < 97;

Article and research contradicts most everything else I've seen on the subject, so forgive me if I don't accept this outright.

Hate? You really exert the time and effort required to hate something, towards hating object oriented programming? Surely there are better uses for your time.

The minimum of what a bank needs to operate includes your phone and contact details, social security number, your financial account number, your credit card number and your credit rating, for sure? Because, you know... they provide many of

I know it's really popular to use a lot of different TLDs these days, but there was a time when I saw a .is domain and could be very certain it was Icelandic (where I'm from). I don't particularly like people using TLDs rando

All About Circuits is great, I was able to teach myself the fundamentals of electronics using that site, and it got me interested enough to go do electrical engineering in university, a decision I don't regret. another fantastic site,

And when people realize they can't watch any of the funny videos their friends link to, or view the 9gag links they post, or sign the change.org petitions they are hammered with? Not everything you see on facebook is hosted at facebook

I'v been a tourist in London several times (before moving there last year). Never had anything like this happen to me. No crazy Roma ladies trying to scam you. Worst you'll get is homeless people asking for some change.

Nice! I am definitely going to play around with this. I've been thinking about doing a proof of concept VST plugin with a JS/Html interface for a while now, this would make my job a lot easiers. One question,though... Licence?

Why worry about tech questions? If you're a half-decent programmer and a half decent learner, memorize the top 20 questions in 2 days and you're good to go. Bam! Suddenly you're a standard deviation above the competition. Don

No, this app is predatory and profiteering of tax payer owned property. People using that app are a bunch of highwaymen trying to extort a "bridge toll", if you ask me.

Parking is a service, provided by the city. The people who pay taxes have already paid for that parking spot. If you, or somebody else (Even the city!) try to profiteer in excess of that, it's predatory and against the rules. If this w

In most (all?) Scandinavian countries, time off is not a luxury. It is a right, awarded to every working man and woman, guarded by law and regulations.

On a scale of 1-10, how bullshit is this? I'd actually benefit from being able to monitor my testosterone levels, so this interests me.

Only for specific crimes, IIRC. Surely you can decide for yourself if you press charges or not on a break-in or a theft (sometimes such cases are just a case of misunderstanding, etc, so people can just work it out and nobody needs to go t

You can definitely "experience" the sub-audio range, but you don't need 24 bits to do that. I have very sensitive hearing, I hear things most others cannot. I can detect 192kbps vs 320kbps mp3 encoding. I cannot have any swit

Depends. Are you a trustworthy person to handle my money, or are you a meth-head junkie who owes me rent? Because if it's option #2, the risk of "investing" with you is probably not worth the interest rate.

Honest question, what do you think is wrong with .NET? C# is my favorite language and I'm learning F# at the moment, which I think just as good (but very different). Microsoft have done a shitload to evolve the platform in the last dec

Yeah I'm doing that right now. I find it relatively easy, it's a good introduction course, gives a good overview, but you probably want to take a follow-up course that builds on top of that one to really get into ML. (I'm aim
