If I accept that technical difficulty and infeasibility is no defense, then I want that standard applied to lawyers as well. Overly litigious firms causing rising legal costs across industries? I don't care if it's hard to solve,

True. I do like aspects of the "duties > rights" mindset, though - it becomes clear that the person with a duty is responsible for the whole job, and not just the parts that line up with specific rights. For example, in the U.

This is kind of an interesting cultural difference between Europe/America and China. While we talk about universal rights, they talk about universal duties, and this only sometimes converges on the same values. For example: Both the W

They have everything to do with showing that the primary field that makes use of IQ, psychology, is unreliable. If someone says that IQ is unreliable, they're likely right just given the track record of that field.

The point of bringing up priming is this. There is a big body of literature on priming. Each study is generally done to get a p-value < 0.05. In a sense, there are a bunch of replications of the effect itself. That points to priming a

I really, really wish people took bad methodology criticisms more seriously. I have a degree in the social sciences, and if there is one thing that completely defines the field right now it is that you can't use their findings for abs

One of his repeated criticisms of analysis like this is using regression to fit datasets that don't necessarily follow a straight trend line. His larger point with respect to IQ is that it only predicts substandard IQs. Measures like

Every English class I've had growing up in America has a bunch of assignments like this: 1. Pick a topic. 2. Pick a position. 3. Find sources that support your position. 4. Write. If English were held to the same high standard as the s

There's an ongoing replication crisis in psychology that suggests that most of the findings in the field are fatally flawed [1][2][3]. In light of this, it's not really fair to say that tech cannot be inherently complex because ps

The :display is a keyword, which works like keywords in Ruby or Erlang; it's a special, never-garbage-collected string for when you use the same string over and over. Though I'm not sure whether the implementation is the same whe

Not really - and that's why I like it. I like JSX too.

Yeah - I've seen and worked with (very talented!) people like Brad, and I feel for them. They're good at working with this presentational stuff, but it's never been necessary to learn that when they're creating an <i

You should check out CLJS's reagent. It mixes the best of both worlds, everything is a plain CLJS object without special syntax, but it's also obviously HTML/CSS: [:div {:style {:display "flex", :flex-direction

Repeat interrupters have the mental capacity to figure this out. This is coddling people who don't deserve it.

Clojure has "reader conditionals" which enable you to write a single file and only have divergent code paths when you need to do something that is JVM or JS specific (or CLR-specific, if you're into that). It's super hel

This doesn't pass a very basic sniff test. All marginalized groups need is to be called some specific terms? This is entirely a question of terminology rather than a fight by marginalized people to achieve specific, better outcomes?

A relative order of outcomes could also work, yeah. You'll have a date in there somewhere, though, even if it's not driven off the amount of work. Could be "and if we can't achieve this outcome by X date we give up on

In the spirit of that second paragraph - focusing on outcomes, not specific implementations - here's a rewrite: Original: > So…what’s the way out? It’s a smart focus on clear outcomes, not output, with roadmapped outcomes replacing

We really do need animations on everything, SPAs, etc. Having a less pretty looking site makes us appear much less trustworthy to non-technical customers, who don't care that their browser was not originally created for our online sto

It is basically a direct replacement for the experimental software that necessitated my university to support Windows 3.1 VMs in their psych lab, so this is a group that likely can't afford Qualtrics. This replaces a host of bespoke,

I don't dislike people using the statistical tools available to them, but in my own field (social sciences) there's a huge replication crisis going on right now. And a lot of that is due to people who were never good at math taki

The spec authors would have done better to make the semantic stuff attributes. It's difficult to tell what CSS rules you're going to have to apply to any given semantic tag, which makes people instinctively reach for <div>s

I'm glad we're finally taking anti-trust seriously, but this timing is incredibly suspicious. Right after we put sanctions on Chinese tech, we start taking steps to limit our own? A good, plausibly deniable soft power attack woul

His point about the misleading headline is good. But the poverty stat still stands. Needing to borrow to come up with $400 is slightly better than not having $400, but, like... not by a lot?

I view it in the same terms as an elected official who willfully courts lobbyists or something else legal, but still distasteful. Members of those pension classes have known forever that their pension amounts would bleed the city dry, but

It's archaic and should be changed, but the way the system works in the U.S. is pretty well known to its citizens, which makes it at least partially the fault of the pensioners. I live in Chicago and every retired schoolteacher and po

There's a certain type of engineer that makes a business out of staying late to fight fires that they set themselves. I'm not sure if there's much chance of changing that culture.
