This isn't punishment. This is negative reinforcement. This applies to an ongoing unwanted behavior.

When you say "terminal" I think what you really mean is a "shell" which runs within the Terminal. Googling for "bash", "shell scripting", "beginner" and "hello world" are likely to

They're using Matlab because it's well known within the target community. Also, Psychtoolbox has been around for a long time and has been subject to studies that look specifically at precision.

Interesting. I'm wondering if the PsychoPy devs have noticed this.

It's about preventing deaths and making people feel safe traveling.

I wonder if anyone has looked into the relationship between time-of-day and battery level? Could it be the case that phone batteries are typically lower across the board at certain times of day? If most people aren't charging their pho

Working from home definitely has advantages, but I've been absorbing costs e.g., heating, cooling, electricity just to name a few. I think if given the option I would prefer a majority WFH situation, but these other costs do affect one

That settles it. We're living in a simulation.

We already have plenty of curated news outlets. It's entirely possible we will simply end up with another one.

I don't care so much about the story, it was the level of detail you doled out about your patient, where it was, what year, etc.

Call me crazy, but I felt like this story was perhaps a little too specific.

Painful lessons, yes. Instant gratification versus long-term planning. I think this applies to more than just software.

I thought he was apologizing for his use of personal attacks, profanity, insults, and generally what he describes as a lack of empathy. Things like that. His hardliner attitude hasn't changed.

You know who else handled conflict in a way that wasn't always understood? Linus Torvalds. I think there's a theme here. Why is it that successful project maintainers sometimes lose their patience with the community? Remember when

I'm not saying you're wrong, but there certainly is evidence out there that suggests Google in fact does respect user privacy. For example, activity.google.com. They are also pretty up front about their privacy policy, how they

I saw it as a counterpoint to AirPrint. I'd like to know what changed that made Google think they don't really need this anymore. Maybe they think WiFi Direct is going to be the future?

I haven't had a chance to really think this all the way through, but I have a few thoughts. Google seems to have more trouble absorbing companies that have many more parallels with what they're already doing. Makes sense. At the t

The more I think about it, the differences between Amazon and Walmart are much smaller than I once thought. They're both platforms upon which sellers can sell goods. One of the bigger differences seems to be quality assurance. More spe

Don't you need data aggregation to build the model though? I think that's part of the problem, but I could be wrong.

I don't think this is just a Google issue. Osterloh just happened to be the first one to come right out and say, yeah, maybe you should tell your guests. Personally, I thought the bigger news (insult) was when he said, "Gosh, I

Dumb question, but why are people so surprised by this? Can you honestly say at this point in the game that you had no idea this was happening or that this is news to you?

Ah, right. Basically I vote for firing a primordial soup probe to this sucker.

Is it though??? (edited, thanks)

A very quick search suggests that earth will become uninhabitable somewhere between 500 million and 2 billion years from now. If we shot a probe to this life-friendly alien planet with some sort of primordial soup, even traveling at the spe

Think of everything you would have to do to avoid being surveilled today. Heck, think about everything you would have had to do even 40-50 years ago. I think the issue is not wether or not you can avoid being surveilled. I think that debate

That's the thing though. How subjective is "unfair working conditions" really? I ask that in all seriousness. At least in the US (my only frame of reference) there are fantastic arguments about minimum wage. Should it be rais

You know, I've seen countless times when, say, Walmart or some other retailer gets caught and body slammed for stocking a product on their shelves that was known to be manufactured under substandard working conditions. It's possib
