A lot of “obvious” psychological results have proven very hard to replicate.

Same here. Statistically we have the odds in our favor. This study also has a lot of the particulars that went wrong with most studies, like having a lot of conditionals. Generally this means that this is an aggregation of several smaller s

I’m not using a supported image and I use i3. In the end most issues boiled down to me importing the heavily cooked dotfiles I use on my linux machine to wsl.

While I agree that is much more common and the numbers of the study have changed, I'd like to see the actual tally. Pretty much everyone I ask (including myself) has way too many bags. I've got a full drawer of reusable bags, and

I’m guessing that means that the half hour I spent getting vcxsrv to work with wsl was pretty much lost time. Oh well, still a nice feature

I strongly disagree with your view of Rust. While it’s true that Rust shows promise in security and embedded, some of the early adopters have been in the server side and microservices.

I won’t dare to speak for anyone but me, but personally the issue I have with blockchain is that is a solution looking for a problem. If you’ve ever done any business (sales/purchasing), you’ll soon see that trust is not really a prob

How are they competing? Either the court rules that what Apple is doing is lawful, and is the single payment provider, or they decide it’s not, and Epic becomes the single payment processing provider for unreal games. Either way game devs h

It doesn’t. Purchases need to be done through the audible web. Even the amazon app doesn’t allow buying kindle ebooks directly.

They hired a junior make sure he would do as he was told to, and developed my solution. In the end, “my solution” was what anyone would have developed after some research on the problem. The manager was one of the company owners, so he was

I once had a technical discussion with my manager, he wanted me to use a technical solution that did not work, while making me fully responsible for the result. In the end I implemented both my solution and his. Mine worked like a charm, hi

Try running Solidworks on a 300€ laptop. Switching everyone to laptops is the biggest productivity loss in engineering departments.

Accidentally overwrote the middle step: Junior developer puts the one liner on google, finds the typical macro definition and does the change.

by xondono 6y ago
To me the danger of this kind of one liners is that if you use it 2 times somewhere, someone, at some point, will do the lazy refactor of “let’s put it into a function”. int clamp (int value, int min, int max) And that one liner insi

Title IX and all of this controversy has nothing to do with conflict of interest. The so-called sex-negative feminism that forms the ideological bed for most of it, is in it’s heart very puritanical

by xondono 6y ago
The amount of this “new puritanism” that the US is displaying is amazing to me. The idea of a bureaucracy like university administration controlling the love life of the professors is ridiculous IMO.

For starters, it’s a publicly funded university, so an attempt at impartiality and due process might be expected.
