Not lying when I say this and I quote a certain wife who I know "... I wish he was drinking, or bad to me or the kids. It would makes things much easier ..."

This is in a situation where she is absolutely not fit for family life and is the one who is unprepared for realities of being a mom and a wife. Literally, this is a person who has not grown up yet and constantly looks for comfort without being able to show it to her family.

I honestly can say that folks get into marriages more by happenstance than solid planning. Maybe I'm wrong. Who knows.

Useful programming language for a designer to learn?
I'm a UX designer (Android/iOS) looking for advice on the best software or programming language I can learn to make the design handover process to engineers more effective. I get frustrated having to mark up designs, Zeplin is great but doesn't help with animation and Principle/Pixate don't generate code that is useful to an engineer. Any suggestions?

That's because custom fields in WordPress, as well as in Liferay and in a bunch of other products, are implemented as EAV, Entity–attribute–value model, which is an abomination.

It is a relational "design pattern" used to implement a database inside a database, instead of using the database itself as it was designed to be used.

This has all sorts of fun (not) and useful (neither) effects, including: worsened performance; inability to ensure data integrity through constraints; bloated / unreadable queries; hard to find bugs; needlessly complicated migrations; and so on.

I see your point with abstract expressions, but the connection I'm failing to make is - if they are completely abstract, then how can the equation be related to the physical world?

In essence, the equation defines the relations between some values - but if any or some of the values can be replaced by real measurements, then surely the relations between real measurements are not interchangeable?

Personally I don't think we need yet another package manager with painful external dependencies, non-reproducible builds, conflicts, lack of rollbacks, etc. We have that with "go get". What we need is to actually solve all those thing. Make sure there are no fragile external dependencies, but everything is in the package manager, even gcc, binutils. You get the idea.

I think the difference is that we are able to test and understand/verify the operation of the LHC at multiple levels. It's not like they just built what was on paper, flicked the ON switch, and assumed all the data that came out was correct. The components were individually tested and collisions at energies accessible by other supercolliders were done so we could compare to other results.

Unfortunately for medical drugs and psychology, researchers are mostly gathering data without an understanding of the underlying mechanisms. There are also virtually never have proposals which can be tested for compliance with reality in a quantifiable and isolated way as we can with physics, chemistry, or parts of biology.

So I feel the replication crisis is not a matter of various fields just not knowing how to do "good science", but that these fields by their nature make clean hypothesis testing vastly more difficult and p-hacking and statistical trickery (intentional or otherwise) harder to sift out.

I'd rather not have the diagrams as the author intended, but more like my device intends. PDFs are great if you need a digitalized representation of paper.

I'd prefer not seeing diagrams as the author intended to not being able to scale the font.

It's a tragedy that PDF to Epub conversion is generally not that good, I really wish more publishers (and selfpublishing authors!) would consider selling epubs as well.

This all depends on what engineers you need to hand your stuff over to and what type of software as well.

For anyone learning programming I would always suggest Python as the best starting language as it is expressive and easy to read. However, if you already deal a great deal with HTML/CSS then Javascript is the best fit. Check which tech stack the engineers are using.

For example, if they use Django, then pretty much all that would be needed to learn, most likely, is the Django framework's templating language. If they use Django REST Framework and an angular frontend, then Angular would be the best to learn (javascript).

Good luck!

The LEO astronauts had relatively more exposure to low G than to radiation, so they did have a fairly effective control for that exposure.

Same with the training. Non flight astronauts (and the LEO group) had much lower mortality due to cardiovascular disease than the general population. Apollo group was noticeably higher. I guess the guys who went to the moon could have trained that much more than other astronauts, but they would have decent information about that.

The 'wishes of the author' are not spelled out in clear terms in the GPL, that's the issue. For example, if I create a music production application, and use SoX to create audio spectrograms, what level of integration with SoX is permitted for a proprietary application? Stealing the code and putting it in your own codebase would obviously be a big no-no, but what if you used Sox in the form of a .dll/.so? The GPL code wouldn't be compiled alongside proprietary code, but it would be required for a non-core feature of the application to function.

This is the type of vagueness that a future GPL revision should seek to address, by refining what is meant by 'dynamic linking'.
ATLAS, CMS, ALICE, LHCb, etc. are all different experiments that just happen to share the same accelerator.
They are done using different detectors, designed, built, operated and the data is analyzed by different groups of people.

If you follow your logic, that the different experiments using the same accelerator negates the whole thing, to the extreme then doing two experiments on the same planet/solar system/universe won't be enough..

And I don't buy your inverse argument that one (good) experiment is good enough either.
It is very difficult to tell from outside the group if the experiment is actually good or not (although you probably can tell if it's bad).
Screw-ups can happen no matter how many people look at the data if there is some flaw in the experimental setup - only way to make really sure is to use different experiments to measure the same thing.
We shouldn't "accept" or "reject" results at all.

It's not a binary option. One poor experiment might give us some evidence something is true. A single well reviewed experiment gives us more confidence. Repeating the results similarly does. As does the reputation of the person conducting the experiment and the way in which it was conducted.

It's not a binary thing where we decide something is accepted or rejected, we gather evidence and treat it accordingly.
> but that these fields by their nature make clean hypothesis testing vastly more difficult and p-hacking and statistical trickery (intentional or otherwise) harder to sift out.

How certain are we that its 'the nature' of these fields rather than political choices that were solidified long ago? There could be much larger samples and six-sigma confidence in life sciences if the grants were allocated differently. I know this is happening, for example, in neuroscience where the (private) Allen Institute is creating significantly more rigorous (and useful) datasets compared to the bulk of studies, because they are funding their studies differently.
Go package management needs to work with Git, Bzr, Hg, and Svn as it does today. Do you have suggestions on building a tool cross platform that works with packages in all of these that doesn't have external dependencies?
Here's the real problem: which new processor is likely to be more commercially successful: the one with transparent caching that can benefit all existing software without so much as a recompile, or the one with the manually-managed "fast memory" that will only benefit that software which has been specifically tailored to use it?
Thinking about physics, the LHC experiment benefits from not being a completely isolated study. Instead, its results are multiple pieces of a larger jigsaw puzzle or web of interconnected results that include both a quantitative predictive theory and other experiments that test other predictions of the same theory. And the Higgs was not the only thing that could be tested at the LHC. For instance, it probably replicated a huge slew of prior studies during construction and testing of the system, from already-known particles all the way down to the calibration of voltmeters.

In physics, some theories have been tested and interconnected to such a degree, that if an experiment conflicts with theory, it's reasonable to suspect the experiment rather than discard the theory. That's what happened with that apparent faster-than-light travel of neutrinos captured in Italy. It was something like a partially unplugged cable. Once corrections were made for the cable, the theory snapped right back into place. Those theories can be trusted as akin to tools in day to day physics. For my humble graduate experiment, refutation of any major law would have led me to fix the experiment and try again. I simply assumed things like conservation of charge. Such laws probably include electrodynamics, gravitation, quantum mechanics, thermodynamics, and Darwinian evolution.

And this is a common feature of major studies in physics, chemistry, evolutionary biology, and other sciences as well.

Where we may run into trouble is in branches of sciences that don't have over-arching theories or that web of connected results. At the other end of the scale are areas of sciences where the results are mainly a database of observed statistical correlations, with little or no apparent progress towards a general theory. When someone publishes a surprising result, there is no reason to say that the experiment must have been done wrong. You just add it to the pile. The best that can be hoped for is that some kind of meta-analysis will demonstrate an inconsistency among multiple studies. Those fields don't have the "hard" theories that can be used as tools to test experimental results.

To be fair, there's another situation, where you have not one, but zero, reproducible results. That's the state of affairs in the search to unify gravity and quantum mechanics.
I have no idea what the situation is like in the rest of the country, but Lyft seems to do pretty well in Chicago. The drivers I speak to tend to use both Lyft and Uber, but prefer Lyft overall; Lyft allows tipping, and Uber customers are allegedly pickier.

I'd say most people I know use one or the other exclusively. I think Uber actually tends to be cheaper at busier times than Lyft if you tip when you use Lyft. The average Uber vehicle seems newer than Lyft vehicle as well.

Either way, I don't think Lyft is at much of a competitive disadvantage in Chicago, at least in the 20-something crowd. The older individuals I know are much more likely to use Uber exclusively, and use the features that are not present in Lyft, like calling a standard taxi, or Uber Black.

It's all anecdotal of course, but I personally wouldn't worry too much about Lyft. I think the fact that they appear to allow a broader range of vehicles and drivers is a competitive advantage.
