I feel like we need an opposite saying for sentiments like this to the age old "correlation does not equal causation", something like "correlation does not mean automatically dismiss"

There is literally nothing wrong with dark mode. It is a _choice_ which makes your analogy invalid. You can not choose to have or not have an open office as an employee, and no picking a new place of work is not the same thing. What you

You're assuming it takes that long to make these things. You're also assuming your perception of the README is how most people consume it. To that end, I'll offer a counter-anecdote, I very much want a README to convey to me

Lean is a classical theory, I don't see how any intuitionistic theory can hope to possibly compete. A mathematician would laugh you out of the store if you tried to get them to used cubical Lean (Lean 2 by the way implemented HoTT idea

Sure, that's fine, but to say that it is an invalid method of proof is wrong. If I want to prove A, and I prove A <=> B for some proven statement B, then I have proven A! There is no question! Feels like crazy pills to think othe

As a PhD student myself, I would die on this hill, and you would lose. Moreover, the first sentence: "This is an unreliable method of proof" implies that it can be a proof if done correctly.

"Working backwards" is a completely valid method of proof, used all the time in automated reasoning. If a student successfully reasons backwards then there is no issue, it is a proof.

What do you mean by always on the developer? Do you mean that the developer caused them? Because that is _mostly_ true but not always (because you can have bugs reported to you that are upstream ones). Do you mean that developers are respon

The great comedy is that you have provided no sources for your claims, some of which I think are false or overstated, some of which I think are true. But, a person who replied to you, with a source, about men being victims of sexual violenc

Your first point is hysterical considering we as computer scientists use many many different programming languages. Nah the math people are fine with assembly, even though they don't actually use it in their work.

It's strange that you make this incorrect comparison to static and dynamic typing. As with static typing, an automated tool prevents you from doing something. It comes for free at the cost of you needing to satisfy the tool. Where is t

Plenty of people have their mind changed by facts, they're called scientists. The rest are usually uneducated laymen. How do you change their minds? You don't, you educate their children to prevent the entrenchment of idiocracy.
