There is a difference between being shamed for breaking the build because you didn't run the test suite (and well knew that you should run the test suite) and being shamed for maki…

Is there really an over-utilization of blood tests? MRIs, yes, but I'm not sure that right now we're really doing too many blood tests. Regarding your point on Bayes Theorem, that'…

What's wrong with "cheers"?

If it makes you feel any better, there's a great deal of randomness in terms of what makes it off the "new" page versus what doesn't. That's assuming that the content is good and y…
