-2 I should be proud. hn's voting system is trash and they do their best to make everyone look the other way. kind of dystopian.

because voting on HN is broken.

I always thought the urge to replace switches with objects was fashionably bad advice. I get that the object literal approach feels more functional, and that forgotten break statements will cause havoc tho. Seems like a safeswitch construct

There may be some signature that identifies real-world fakes, in the same way that the Onion, well smells like an onion. But, I have a general criticism about this area of research, which seems to conflate the semantic truth. value of conte

I make SO attributions when applicable.

not to make fun of my old roommate, but I had to give him line by line instructions for him to use a scientific calculator, which he dutifully copied, instead of taking the time to learn calculator principles. know your tools.

one of the very first thing in tar's man page is an example of how to extract a file: https://linux.die.net/man/1/tar but what evs. sometimes the man page is the thing, sometimes not.

I've used a similar compartment plot as a way of evaluating fMRI quality, and how different preprocessing routines affect it. Compartments determined by structural masks, eg white matter, gray matter, cerebrospinal fluid, etc.

failed to replicate != refutation. the latter is definitive, as in deductive logic, bit science is inductive. Retractions of articles that are no longer convincing in light of new data is the wrong way to go.

I applaud authors for doing a laborious attempt at replication. But, this comes across as sour grapes. They dont make a convincing case for imposing an obligation on Science to peer review their paper.

best just think in terms of Bayesian update.

the context here was discussion of auto pilot, so irrelevant. but nonetheless, a lack of a speed limit does not imply uniformity of speeds traveled. some will go as fast as traffic and their vehicles allow them. others only as fast as they

I'm sorry, but no. Yes, important all going same speed, but all else equal slower = safer. more time to react to unexpected events. better traction to road. less energy in a crash.

a lot of drummers are particularly atrocious at low tempos. me included.

I'm not talking about 2016, and never have been talking about 2016. but it's pretty clear you are not actually responding to anything I've actually said, so no point in continuuing the conversation. probably no point to begin

I am aware that it is an American tradition to worry about Presidents defying their term limits, declaring national emergencies to seize power, and all that jazz. It's a tradition I approve of, especially given the increasing power of

And I'm worried that if he loses, he won't accept the results of the election, and that many of his most rabid fans will follow him into the abyss. I'm worried that his jokes about staying President betray his actual desires,

what stops a company that charges for it's services from also making even more money by selling your data and showing you ads? even traditional magazines and newspapers had ads.

I think a pretty good argument can be made that fall of the Roman Republic was a consequence of Rome's increasing business interests abroad, and the increasing importance of military leaders executing interventions, eg in Greece, in su

Ctrl-Y, a la emacs. E.g. Matlab uses that by default.

I suspect the issue is that in Linux the copy paste comnands are specific to each application, which can be annoying when copy pasting between multiple alplications., without a lot of configuring.

I have petabyte network storage, so don't disparage me my 256 Gb SSD. Though it is a bit slim if you want to store lots of multimedia or host multiple VMs.

yeah the whole "sharing economy" is just bs marketing.

Some numbers and sources would be nice. I suspect that the availability of contraception is being over estimated. Even in Poland I had Catholic hardliner pharmacists refuse to sell me morning after pills, and in some cases, regular birth co
