That feels like a poor statistical evaluation. Why not test along the way with progressive complexity/depth? Using attendance is a carrot to get students to show up, which leads to…

Hear, hear. Go back far enough and it's stolen land, insofar as any land can be owned. Entitled folks ranting about "their" property is kinda gross. You were granted that right by …

A reasonable type could be defined for outside temperature with predefined bounds, for example in ADA: type OutsideTempC is digits 3 range -100.0 .. 70.0; (Edit: others mentioned t…

I too enjoy colourful and shiny, but adfree does not imply purely functional aesthetics. Can you imagine another possible scenario?

It seems that so many here think they're above being manipulated by advertising. Don't trust your brain - it's soft and malleable. > Vulnerable people do and always will exist. Hea…

People will always want free things; that's nothing new! Especially on an Internet that was born free (aside from the cost to connect). The average "Reddit" business is pretty odd;…

The media is reporting what scientists are saying, who thoroughly consider all angles. You don't see it mentioned because it's a hypothesis that was rejected (long ago), with reaso…

This "article" was written to subtlety advertise Kaspersky's security app. > And, of course, install a security app on your smartphone.

As always, it depends. Especially for large PRs, I will go through the effort of rebasing to help the code reviewer so they can view key commits rather than a mile long scroll-fest…

Exactly how I'd expect a GPT experiment to reply! ;) We'll hardly be able to tell the difference, if at all. Maybe it doesn't matter as long as the conversation is engaging for the…

This is most certainly already happening. I find it kind of annoying not to know with certainty whether or not I'm engaging with a Genuine Human(TM) or not. I'm unsure if it's conf…

Loved Heap (Analytics?). I advocated for it while working at my previous employer :) I think we were early customers. At the time, its automatic tracking of all events was a godsen…

The pursuit of knowledge is insanely underrated. > But what you are working on is completely useless for humanity. You simply can't know that. We don't know what we don't know and …

I've heard the idea to zone for one level above the average in an area, to avoid the wild west situation. Doubtful that would fly with some very rich single family neighbourhoods n…

Sorry, it's in the video, but the oil/coal producers & related polluters who use the apathy to further limit change that affects their profits.

> This practice makes even less sense when we make PRs that once merged are squashed into one commit Up until the point of merging, other developers reviewing the PR can see your d…

Climate change is a scale, from bad to really really bad, and positive change is already happening. Here's some uplifting news in a well articulated video worth watching: https://w…

[citation needed] I don't know many such morally-absent folks. Perhaps the perverse incentives in our system mean a bunch of CEOs are quite sociopathic, but on the whole, people se…

This came to mind for me as well, as it's something I landed on in the past for managing UGC. The primary benefits being a decent api and administrative interface for moderation. I…

It is mentioned if you expand the "In case you've never used them, here's a comparison." element.

It's also a monumental shift for the workforce. Many of the problems people have WFH are because we've WFO for so long! Social culture has incredible momentum - so much so that it …
