    Interesting idea, and it sounds like you like the results, so kudos. My musical taste tends toward less produced, rougher/lo-fi recordings, e.g. Guided By Voices. So, it follows th…

    I found out that the adhesives I've encountered from time to time that remain tacky and easily moved or removed are called "non-hardening" adhesives. This was after using E8000 glu…

    You can, depending on your definition of "useful". You can buy a cheap laser pointer, take out its lens, and put it over your camera lens. Tape it onto the lens for a temporary jan…

    Yes, on my Thinkpad I could remap it with Powertoys. It looks like the sibling comments have had issues though. For me, the Copilot key outputs the chord "Win (Left) + Shift (Left)…

    Thanks for making this! I'm very tempted to get one of these to do some ssVEP stuff. Do you have plans to make a 16-channel (or 32-channel?) board in the future? In my area of rese…

    Translating a solution from one problem domain to another is called "transfer" in cognitive science. There's some theoretical and empirical work done on the topic of transfer (e.g.…

    This article didn't link to the research article directly. Here it is for those interested: https://science.sciencemag.org/content/373/6553/eabd0830/

    I found a previous HN submission very helpful: https://evamaerey.github.io/ggplot_flipbook/ggplot_flipbook_... The author builds up plots step by step, showing the changes to the p…

    Not to take away from some of these comments, but the article does not mention anything about casual observation of the eyes signalling mental health issues. The article is highlig…

    In that case, perhaps "A Book about Creating Aircraft Scale Drawings with Inkscape and Gimp" would be more appropriate?

    Agreed. I was curious enough to run the model myself so I used a tool to extract the data. The slope estimate (b=17.24) is not significantly different from zero, p=.437. The data a…

    I feel the same way. I think this explanation of the transition has been mentioned on HN before: 1) The Internet was created. Early adopters are generally optimistic about its pote…

    My non-engineer guess is that a nylon brush would be shaved down pretty quickly by rail contact at typical train speeds, so that it would be ineffective at removing debris after a …

    I haven't read the entire paper, but it's here: https://psyarxiv.com/a5fgu The main results are an interaction between Time (pre/post) and Diary condition (3rd person/1st person), …

    Sure, there is subjectivity in the ways researchers operationalize the concepts that they study. That doesn't mean that their research is not "real science". If the study is of sou…

    A 95% confidence interval will contain the true mean 95% of the time (across an infinite number of replications of the experiment/study). For a single confidence interval, you have…

    erentz was probably referring to the single transferable vote system ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single_transferable_vote ), which uses a ranked ballot in elections and results…

    Mirrors in skylights seems like a very obvious improvement to increase the amount of natural sunlight in a space. It seems adaptable to north-facing top-floor suites. Mirrors could…

    Power is also a concern that many researchers do not pay attention to (at least in psychology/neuroscience). If the original study was under-powered, the estimated effect size in t…

    There are many ways to study attention and mood. What I took from the press release which appears to be novel (though I've not read the original research article) is that our highe…

    It's especially strange since there are good free multi-platform statistics programs. There's R (as other commenters have pointed out) and JASP ( https://jasp-stats.org/ ) which ha…

    I have found it to be a useful feature that is worth the 1% daily battery life. I prefer it to Shazam/Soundhound because it's passive. I don't have to unlock my phone, open an app,…
