One of the things I admire about the tech community is their willingness to just give away their code for free. This is a cultural fact that has underpinned such an enormous collective gain of everyone in the entire world that I get genuin

On chrome there's a bug showing the console that's preventing it from going beyond the start screen. On Firefox when using the arrow keys to read through the next, a single click renders two screens of text too quickly for me to r

I wonder if younger folk today watch that and think how quaint, old and dated it seems... or if they see it and wonder if their current modern cinema fair is really missing something these strange films had.

Such intensity of hate. It's like he's the sith lord of game developers. So weird.

Indeed - what happens when the contract itself states explicitly that there is NO intent above and beyond the code? Contract law exists above and beyond what the DAO t&c states - and it varies from country to country. In Australia for i

I think this move by MS is wonderful and I support it completely - but there is one concern that you've left out that makes me more worried than anything. I'm someone who doggedly persisted trying to dev on my windows box because

As others have pointed out - it's arguable that publishing any claim about the identity of SN - puts the target in considerable, potential danger. Now I can understand that there is a public interest component in knowing SN's iden

>And now you get to judge whether I'm piling lies upon lies in a scramble to retract a broad insult to my peers, or whether I've been expressing a consistent belief system this whole time. Darned if I know any way to make that

Well - I'm struggling to understand what your beliefs about the scientific community actually are. You very clearly stated - in no uncertain terms - that the scientific community had significant numbers of crackpots... You're now

Steuard was directly talking about "the scientific community" and employees of NASA.

I wasn't going to give your reply further consideration than what I gave... It doesn't deserve more. But I really feel something needs to be said here - given that you are in a position of power, and imo - setting an appalling ex

Crackpots get jobs at NASA apparently. See point 3).

That's quite a reasonable, if cynical, reply. To be honest I don't know how to evaluate the which of these two explanations of the scientist's behaviour are more likely. I'd like to see some data on how much one can obta

If you believe we do indeed have that degree of certainty - then you believe the experiments are indeed a waste of time, and that the experimenters are behaving irrationally - contra 3). I think they are rational - and certainly it's r

'know it doesn't work' - seems a bit strong here. 1) While a violation of a widely accepted law of nature is indeed unlikely - it's not like it hasn't happened before. 2) There may yet still be some way to model the

You're punching air mate. I think the point was just that if we don't help these boys - then they are more likely to fall into patterns of crime and violence - which is a cost everyone in society would like to avoid. What is ther

I think this is far less mysterious than people suppose. Hypothesis - if someone on facebook views your profile then facebook is more likely to suggest them as a friend. Increase the probability if the person is a low degree of separation

I'm genuinely trying to understand how this has any significance at all. They are implementing emoticons - all of which could be expressed in other ways on the platform (in a comment etc). The only thing that changes is that now faceb

Github's actions are entirely understandable - I agree. They are just trying to survive as a business. But I don't agree that the resultant alarmism is mind boggling. Folks are becoming increasingly anxious at the ever increasin

So - according to the bill, anyone with a complaint has to send it to a delegated agency that will be responsible for assessing each complaint. It is there to screen for trivial cases, etc. If there is cause, they can then send it off to a

I developed them myself. Mostly this doesn't add much overhead to the learning process. As I'm working through a math's text book (in ebook or pdf form) I use the windows 7 snipping tool to create two images - one of the ques

I disagree with this in part. I'm using spaced repetition to learn maths - and without it I just wouldn't progress at all. My natural aptitude isn't great. Can you say a little bit more about what you mean by immersion? Do

I've been reading some overviews - I'm already disturbed. The assumption is that the difference in response times between the association of categories reveals preferences. And they tested by using groups that were expected befor

So - does anyone have a good understanding of the quality science behind those implicit association tests? To be honest - I tend to take any psychology results with a grain of salt... given the crisis of replicability that it is currently f
