Yes, I believe it was, but OP was specifically addressing academia: > I wish this idea would take hold in academia. So many papers seem to bury simple and often powerful ideas in jargon. Where were you working at the time?

1. In academia, you need to be exact. You can't use vernacular words with many interpretations. You need to describe as precisely as possible your hypothesis, the methods you used to test it, and your results. Jargon avoids ambiguity.

Ah, you're right. Babbage's Analytic Engine was designed to use punch cards, and I totally forgot about the Hollerith Machine that I read about just last year. I wonder what other false information Poundstone's book has. Th

I thought the same thing reading this! I'm currently reading Prisoner's Dilemma by William Poundstone, which details the life of John von Neumann. According to his brother Nicholas, von Neumann likely got the idea to use punch c

I asked it what ports `nmap -sn` and `nmap -F` scan. It correctly stated that `-sn` does not scan ports. It then stated that `-F` also uses a ping scan (false) and does not scan any ports (also false). When I quoted the man page on -F, it

This happens in a lot of developing countries, but I'm surprised at SK. I've spent a lot of time in Mexico and Colombia. It's that way down there - antibiotics for everything.

> Is return noticeably better than other institutions? It is on the higher end compared to other HYSAs. The highest I've seen is 4.81% compared to Apple's 4.15, but that's still better than 3.x% offered by a lot of HYSAs.

> The rest of the world has had contactless payment for at least a decade. I think you have a very narrow view of "the rest of the world"! Try "Europe and East Asia" for a little more accuracy ;)

That's not how it goes. And, yes, the answer is 50% in this case. The problem relies on first choosing a door (1). The host then opens a door that you did NOT choose (3) and asks if you want to switch your choice to door #2. In this

Not really. If an American doesn't know where Oceania is (and they likely don't), then they are left to assume that Australia is the continent, not an island. Hence, I was providing a counter-example to your dubious claim that &q

Okay. If you think that, go ask a random American to point to Oceania on a map. Report back to me when you do. :)

Oh! Good to know! And your use-case is exactly what I'm using Karabiner for.

by xiande04 4y ago
Oh, I'm not using ontologies at all hah. Just interested in the idea of knowledge representation.

by xiande04 4y ago
We were taught that Australia is a continent in the US as well. But then again, Americans are not known for their knowledge of geography...

Karabiner has this. I never could use this. I've tried mapping A to control when held down, but there's always false negatives because I hit control too fast. I've also tried many other keys and different timings, but noth

Agreed. That and knowledge representation (ontologies) is another good use case for XML, since JSON can't natively represent attributes (has-a relationships).

There was a "retirement" add-on to address this issue. Not sure if it's still maintained, but it automatically "retired" (suspended, moved to another deck, etc.) when a card reached a certain interval.
