Ever seen any of the top 5 functional languages? And "weird corner case"? Really?

You should probably read Myers-Briggs' book Gifts Differing , they do say it over and over again that traits are preferences .

Honestly, you've already identified the problem (reading books of the "first kind"), so you know what to do. Stop picking up books just because they're best sellers. That would be a great start.

Nitpick: Minima is already plural.

Yeah, so that's pretty bad.

... What? I've never downloaded it myself (for the same reasons as you), but that doesn't sound true. Play Store says it's 39MB. But maybe OP has that much in media in the app's cache or something.

Please tell me how that isn't equivalent to "adhering to <famous developer on Twitter>'s gospel" vs. "not adhering to <famous developer on Twitter>'s gospel."

Should amateurs be allowed to do animal testing? The answer seems no, almost by definition.

Most importantly, being anti-mask can't be attributed to a clear genetic variable (although I suppose there might be some very weak correlation), and natural selection takes way, way longer than a human lifetime to create noticeable re

Sorry, that doesn't work when most groups/societies are heterogeneous in ideals. Even most people being reasonable isn't enough when the behavior of the few who aren't must be tolerated in the name of freedom. So natural

Just a heads up (which I should have mentioned): The uMatrix repo has been archived some time ago.

"Why is dependent type theory more suitable than set theory for proof assistants?” has 80 characters, which seems to be exactly HN's limit.

Am I the only one who finds Anki's UI/UX to be absolutely atrocious? I know it's petty, but it's literally the only reason that's always made me not use it for more than just a few days at a time. Is anyone working

uMatrix + uBlock Origin solve this much better than AMP does... with the advantage that it works for exactly the websites you want with exactly the resources you choose - no more, no less. uBlock even allows you to block images if they&#x27

Yeah, no worries. I realize you had a good intention, and I know it's hard to remember every single detail about how other people's lives might be different from ours.

Same! I actually looked it up right after commenting and realized my statement would still be true even if the bias in HN's demographic were much lower.

Sorry, but this is absolutely wrong and potentially harmful to your son if you eventually convince him. It is absolutely possible and not that uncommon for a neurotic person's mind to go blank when under considerable stress, at the poi

There's a dropdown with examples at the top of the page, but apparently it doesn't show on smaller screens.

Exactly. Which renders the logic behind the experiment false. But since the insight was true, it eventually led to experiments that yielded true results. (Notice I didn't say the insight was false, I supported your idea by emphasizing

So it worked despite all the bias and fraud. You could even call it luck. The reproducibility implied by the fact that at least some of it is true is not a "nice-to-have", it's the whole point of it working. We wouldn&#x2

Honest question as an outsider: What did Docker introduce that wasn't better addressed by other technologies? E.g. wasn't reproducibility the main point and already properly solved by nix? By the way, it's " per se &quot
