I'm impressed by how low the score of your comment is. I know computer scientists aren't "real" scientists but I thought the lack of rigor in this one was apparent and it was only upvoted only as a conversation starter. I guess I was wrong.
- colechristensen 8y agoThere wasn't a "lack of rigor" He just never finished. He collected data and then didn't follow up with graphs and conclusions and such. There's nothing wrong with a blog post that tells you about 2/3 of a N=1 study on yourself, it's interesting. It doesn't owe you completion, it just is not complete.
- your-nanny 8y agoit's also funny how people assume blog posters owe them anything. get off their lawn!
- diminoten 8y agoNo one owes me anything, but it's posted on HN and there's a comments section in HN so I am entitled to point out the (substantial) flaws in the submission.
- diminoten 8y agoThere is a distinct lack of rigor, and there's a lot wrong with a blog post that doesn't accurately describe the environment the experiment is taking place in or any other pertinent details that would allow for a reproduction. Completion is actually the least of the problems here.
