No doubt it is a target-rich environment. However, his arguments are so generic that they could apply to any field studying anything multifactorial or with high variance.

Fundamentally, however, I don't believe, for example, that physicists are more scrupulous/intelligent/honest than biologists, who are more so than psychologists. The irreproducibility rates in a field have to be primarily caused by the nature of the system studied in that field rather than some inherent attributes of the researchers.

So any field will have some constant level of irreproducibility which which essentially cannot be changed. But some researchers do better than others. My fundamental point is that if you want to change what can be changed, and genuinely improve a field, you have to focus the criticisms on specific bad actors rather than target an entire field at once and leverage a near-tautology (more complex systems yield more irreproducible results) into a 20-year tirade/career.

Also, helpfully for people like Ioannidis, a statement like "field X has lots of errors and irreproducibility" is non-falsifiable, and indeed will be true no matter what, so he is taking no risk with his criticisms -- even though they do more damage to public perception, morale, and funding, and help less to change things than targeted criticisms would do.

If I sound irritated by this sort of thing, it is because my graduate advisor dabbled in "meta-science" / "error correction" and I stoutly refused to have anything to do with those projects. I thought, and still think, that it is considerably more valuable to try to build my own solid lego tower despite the difficulties rather than knocking down other people's, despite the latter being considerably easier and a fairly simple and reliable route to a high citation count. In the end, irreproducible or erroneous papers in science just get ignored rather than retracted, and I think that's fine.
No head scratcher there.

They didn't write it in the sense of "30MW per minute", it was "30MW every minute" meaning a constant power rating of 30MW, instead of a variable rating where one minute it's 30MW and the next minute it's at 20MW, or whatever.
Absolutely.

Decreasing the amount of time I spent on social media has increased the quality of my life by at least 10 times. Before I used to feel intimidated going to the gym, posting on my tech blog, simply because everyone else was just doing it better than myself or at least I believed so and cared. When I went on to actually do and enjoy things, I noticed how everything is so imperfect and how in essence I do not care about others. It may sound funny, but that brought back the smell of roses. Another important side-effect was an increase in amount of in-person interaction with the people I wanted to interact.

Slightly off-topic. When you mentioned success celebreneurs I couldn't help but remember the famous Tai Lopez video - "Here in my garage, just bought this new Lamborghini here.. You know what I like a lot more than materialistic things? Knawledge".

+1 There are many problems with html tables (like inconsistent buggy implementations between browsers) but grids don't fix them and introduce other problems. You can't group cells in rows / columns html elements. You can't write a simple css selector for a particular cell. You can't easily refer to a whole row with a css selector. You can't do stuff like "highlight the whole row on hover" because you wouldn't have a parent element to select. Grids are for grid layouts, and with current feature set they can't replace tables.

My basic Tokyo routine as a lead programmer role in a big mobile game in Japan.

I wake up around 6:30 eat breakfast.
Leave around 7:15
Take train at 7:30 (crowded train, reading Hacker News, tech news, game news and study Japanese)
Arrive around 8:30 at work, and I make a coffee. Don’t start work just yet so I watch Collider Movies news.
9:00 start work (prepare for meetings, light programming or planning new layout for new event or features)
10:10 we have System morning meeting. (Today’s task announcement, other relative news for today or shared meeting announcement)
10:30 Team morning meeting (Announcement from planners about progress of new event layouts, basic sales announcement for yesterday and other announcement regarding the project)
10:40 work starts again (work from now on also consist of answering junior developers questions and problems when called upon, also checking progress of what all programmers are doing)
13:30 Lunch for an hour
14:30 return to work
18:00 Work finished
18:10 Take train home (Study Japanese or programming)
19:00 Spend time with family and newborn
23:00 Time for myself
24:00 Go to bed
GoDaddy. Not because I agree with their policies, or their constant up-sells, or their spam.

Don't get me wrong, it would be awesome for ergonomics and a pretty powerful tool, but for now Google Assistant has issues in recognizing if I want a timer for 13 or 30 minutes. 1/5 of speech recognition searches are gibberish, especially when I use own names.

Correcting a typo takes far less time than backtracking speech - that's one of the main issues I see when people use any speech-to-text converter. People weigh their words carefully or they're in a world of pain trying to backtrack an error.

Yes, for the sake of precision I should probably have used the term “PC” rather than “computer”. I thought the meaning was pretty clear from the phrase “handheld computer”.

AsteroidOS looks very cool, thanks for the link. But a watch "running a tiny QT GUI on the touchscreen”, and which you can only really use as a computer by SSHing in via another computer, is not a PC, by any reasonable definition.

I'm aware of many little devices that can run Linux, but they're not full-fledged PCs unless they have reasonably sized screens and enough processing power to run regular PC apps in a usable manner.

Neither is a phone, which is neither marketed as a PC (or a “computer”), nor able to run any apps that aren't written specifically for Android / iOS, without all sorts of complicated shenanigans to jailbreak its lock-down, which is designed precisely to prevent it from being used as a general purpose computer.

Some people can “skate” on a bicycle while standing up on the seat and handlebar. That doesn’t mean a bicycle is a skateboard. Especially if they had to first break built-in protections in the bicycle specifically designed to prevent them from doing that.

Also sideloading APKs is a far cry from “run any code you want”. Can I run a GTK app written in Perl on an Android phone by sideloading an APK?

> A better alternative to "you have to sugarcoat all your thoughts by 30% before you speak them out" would be to train people to be better at taking criticism

The amount of extra effort involved in having a few people "sugarcoat" (as you call it) is tiny compared to the effort in retraining vast swathes of people out of what is after all a fairly standard human behaviour. Behaviour so standard in fact that this doesn't count as "sugarcoating" at all, really, at least not in my view - more like the process of actually assembling a persuasive argument from the unrefined raw material.

Java is not Scala though.

By default everything has always been mutable e.g. collections, variables. And so whilst I support val I can appreciate the difficulty in switching everyone to an immutable by default mindset. Especially given the lack of decent functional transforms e.g. map, flatMap, filter in Java.

I read this paper (it's only a few pages, completely non-technical).

The entire paper assumes we get a certain type of communication and in the course of decoding it, destroy humanity. It would make an interesting screen play, but the paper presents no proof whatsoever that "message decontamination is impossible."

At best, the paper presents 1 case and outlines 1 possible ending which is the end of humanity. Kinda interesting but not nearly as universal as the title claims.

I think of it this way: We are survival machines who evolved sensory-motor brains for the purpose of making ever better decisions about which moves will increase our ability to survive and thrive. Pain is a signal that our predictive model of the world is incorrect. We made a bad move. Our predictive model needs to be revised. Rumination is the way in which the brain seeks to discover a better predictive model. If instead of productively pondering we choose to think thoughts of powerlessness which disrupt the rumination process and bring forward momentum to a halt, we are subverting our forward momentum. We should strive to discipline our mind to feel intense aversion towards allowing such unskillful thoughts to form and harden into beliefs.

I thought this was going to make Medium more readable; but it literally makes Medium more readable.
I mentioned the first case in my post - using var is better because there’s minimal code change when refactoring and the compiler will tell you any incompatibilities to look into.

For the second case, var or not, it doesn’t matter. If you’re changing the meaning of a property it’s common sense to ‘find all refernces’ and review where that property is used.
I can think of counterexamples if we allow C to self-intersect: We can then make a loop and pick one point outside it and one point inside and zero on it.

>>> My suspicion with some back of the envelope calculations is that it probably ends up somewhere in the minimum wage range most of the time. Especially at the higher end of that range, it sort of makes sense. Assuming at least a reasonable percentage of drivers have some rational handle on what they make and their real costs, that's about where you'd logically expect pay to need to end up.

Your assumptions are incorrect. The world is filled with people who can't estimate costs, it's actually pretty difficult.

Amazon Route53 (which is backed by Gandi). Not the cheapest but the convenience of managing my domain in the same place as my DNS and other cloud services and the powerful access control capabilities of AWS make me willing to spend a dollar or two more per domain per year.

Edit: having the domain scriptable / accessible via the AWS API and CLI is a nice feature as well.
I've found nowadays I want a desktop that stays out of my way as much as possible. Preferably it should be lightweight and responsive.

I can still remember when I first started using Linux how excited I was that you could customize everything. I spent hours tweaking KDE to look just how I wanted it. Right down to the appearance of the clock on the system tray. Then AIGLX came out - I spent even more time compiling kernel modules running custom compositors etc so I could have wobbly windows and a spinning cube to switch virtual desktops. You know what for all the time it took me to get everything working it solved precisely none of the issues I had.

Nowadays (10+ years later has it really been that long) I don't care about any of that I've come to the realization the desktop just doesn't matter it's the applications.

I use the computer to run applications (be it firefox, emacs, terminal emulator, whatever else I need to get work done) make it easy for me to launch applications and make it easy for me to toggle between applications. Other than that stay out of my way.

I think a lot of long time users end up feeling the same way which leads to conclusion a lot of techies don't care about the desktop. Which I think is true but not for the reason you think.
The article here is about the mistakes people make when trying to communicate their doubts in published science: how, even when they are right, they can come across as “cranks” and easily dismissed.

I have no idea if you’re right, and I’m not about to waste time down that particular rabbit hole. But you’re arguably doing wrong everything the article mentions. Starting with the impulse of “hold on, I’m not a crank and here are 12 paragraphs and my blog to prove it”. It’s simply off topic in this discussion.

My advice to you is you got to keep moving. Right now you are sitting down trying to figure things out. WRONG.

Don't try to figure things out. Take action. Move so much that you don't have time to think about how unsuccessful you are. And If you are moving, might as well do something useful.

The easiest way I know how to change my emotions is just start doing something, anything. Go for a walk. Write a blog post.

It wasn't Google that didn't support Amazon Prime Video, Amazon didn't add support. It was the same reason the Amazon gave for not selling the Apple TV 3rd and 4th generations. Apple worked with dozens of other providers to add apps to the 3rd gen ATV and a time could write an app for the 4th gen TV.

The proof is that there is now an Amazon Video app for the 3rd and 4th gen ATV. It was a surprise to almost everyone that Amazon/Apple ported Amazon Video to the 3rd Gen ATV after it had been discontinued for over a year.
Congratulations on your determination. Many people don't have the fortitude to take such a step; while it may seem a bit silly, I recommend going ahead and taking a moment to allow a bit of pride in that, so as to encourage the brain bits that allowed you to do that.

I used to feel intense self imposed pressure to succeed financially. I have yet to achieve that but I don’t think about the abstract concept of success and “swimming pools of money” anymore.

If you feel depressed I would recommend you expose yourself to new people by enrolling in a program or starting a new job. You’re one friend or relationship away from a life you wouldn’t trade for millions.
