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 acros…

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 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…

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 giv…

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 There is another viewpoint, where priming is n…

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 rig…

No, but these [1][2][3] sure do: [1]: https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/17456916156099... [2]: https://osf.io/ezcuj/wiki/home/ [3]: https://science.sciencemag.org/conte…

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…

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. …

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…

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 no…

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 le…

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 {:d…

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-specif…

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 margi…

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…

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 outco…

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…

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…

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 …

wyzant.com is a good start

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 …

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? …
