    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 …

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

    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…

    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 majo…

    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.

    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 has…

    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 los…

    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 fu…

    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…

    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 big…

    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 …
