A friend of mine not too tech savy always clicks on these sponsored google links that take a page and a half on some screens when looking something up. I always tell him "you clicked on an ad !" and still, he always clicks on the 2-3 ads showing up before the results, even years after. Mind not that he's a UI/UX designer, his job is attention to detail, yet, he still cannot discriminate between results and sponsored links on the google search page. I wonder how many people do that, but it must make Google a lot of cash !

It mostly is, though.
Lots of activities are dangerous. The main problem is that danger is a function of probability (eg how likely are you to get hurt doing that thing), and people are terrible at estimating probability. While horse riding is dangerous in the sense that when you get hurt it's likely to be severe, it's not that dangerous because the probability of being hurt is quite low. Among the millions of people who go horse riding each year very few get badly hurt. What the article is suggesting is for the relatively small number of people who participate in bobsledding a significant number are getting brain injuries.

Same with the Sony WH1000 xm3. The only thing missing when working wired is the microphone, but I basically never use that anyway.

The problem with the wire, at least the provided one, is that it's pretty stiff so it picks up a lot of noise and the plug doesn't lock to the headphone side so I'm not sure how well it would hold during prolonged usage. But the plug is standard, so at least the cable can be changed easily.
Great document overall!

> The purpose of this document is to provide guidance to DoD program executives and acquisition professionals on how to detect software projects that are really using agile development versus those that are simply waterfall or spiral development in agile clothing (“agile-scrum-fall”).

Actually doing 'waterfall' properly would probably be fine? Or at least not the bogeyman it's made out to be.

The real danger is that the project would just be managed badly, independent of professed approach. Just muddling through badly.

(I am not even sure if waterfall was ever actually a thing, I mostly ever only hear about it as a thing to avoid?)

It's not fine if there is a need for the particular things that agile serves, which is why contracting requirements would specify agile and contractors would, to be response, claim to be agile necessitating the people reviewing the submission to detect agile BS.

Government requires waterfallish process in contracts all the time, but a document on identifying Agile BS isn't addressing those cases.

Unfortunately, many game companies lost the source code for their classic games years ago. They couldn't release it even if they wanted to.

One of the big surprises coming from this leak is simply the fact that Nintendo's source code still exists. The company seems to have been very thorough in archiving material related to its older games.

Why do you need to worry about that?
The simplest spam filtering algorithm would be a naive bayes filter. It's essentially keep a count of words that appear in all posts, words that appear in spam posts, and words in non spam posts. Those counts + bayes rule will let you figure out the probability of spam given a word. It's called naive bayes because you assume each word in your post is independent of the others so probability the whole post is spam is just product of the probabilities.

The nice thing about this is it's pretty computationally light and straightforward to implement for any language. I have no clue as to your stack, but if you have python for your backend then sklearn is a good library that has a naive bayes classifier (plus a lot of other better options). Any post with a high probability of being spam, I'd automatically flag and by default just remove with the option for a user to ask for manual review. Main thing you'd need for this or any fancier approach is some dataset of spam/non spam posts. If you have an easy way of retrieving past posts that were labelled spam that should allow you to make a fine dataset. If you don't want to train on your own user posts (although only information kept is word counts here), you can look online for spam datasets and use one of those to train your classifier.

With a dictionary (array in PHP) you lose strict typing and it's possible for the person constructing it to make a typo and it won't cause an error, the called function will just think an optional argument was left out.

Writing and maintaining parameter classes is just tedious.
I think that post Python 3 nobody is going to do that.

It would be interesting to see a fork which removed all the crud though. Something that was easy to use for the person doing occaisional web work or beginner but without the traps and pitfalls.
I switched to DDG a while back when I jumped out of chrome when was threatening adblockers, but I'm not always satisfied with the search results:

it's great if I know what I want to search (i.e. I know the field and the keywords and I need the specifics) but when I don't know what I want to search I can't use it for discovery (i.e. when learning new things and I lack the terminology)

Yes it does correlate directly, as in, a high acceleration will correspond to a high acceleration (maybe lower intensity, maybe low-passed in frequency) but it is a direct correlation

”There is a direct linear downwards relationship between commute time and life satisfaction, but there’s no linear upwards correlation between house size and life satisfaction.”

But is it really true that house size is the reason people commute? My family members commute in order to live in a neighborhood and city they desire, yet live in a small apartment. There are reasons to desire suburbs other than house size, like gardens, parks, safety, silence, etc. And people also commute from a city to the suburbs/office parks, as many tech workers in San Francisco do.

> tension in PHP-land between PHP's roots as a low-ish level, get-it-done, hackish language [...] and the better-organized and quite vocal developers who want it to be more Java-like

Agree, and I'd like to add the original purpose of PHP, and what made it popular in the first place was that it can be used as embedded PHP within SGML-ish processing instruction ie <!php ...>. Only that PHP made such a lousy hack job of it being not HTML-aware and not doing context-dependent escaping, that it would become the primary script injection/XSS attack vector on the web. PHP's forte IMHO is its community and the large installed base of apps (there doesn't exist anything like Magento with its first-party plugins by DHL, UPS, payment providers, etc on Node.js for example). Why PHP wants to become more like Java or JavaScript is a mystery for me, when there's a hell of a cleanup job to be done beforehand, such as fixing <?php ...>.
There are already a lot of great examples of how strong consumer protection is in Australia, but I just want to say as an Australian living in the US, my anecdotal experience is that the US has extremely limited, if any, consumer protection in comparison.

The terms “fit for purpose” and “reasonable reliability” give the ACCC a lot of latitude. Most things come with a 12 month warranty at a minimum as a result, and the retailer has to handle it which prevents them pawning you off to the manufacturer and also means warranty replacements are brand new instead of factory refurbs.

One notable example of this is that all mobile phones carry a 2 year warranty because phone plan contracts that include them are typically that long so that’s clearly the lower bound on their reasonable life span.

When I bought a pair of jeans in the US and the crotch blew out within a month I got blank stares when I went back to the store to ask for a refund. I got a refund after much loud complaining but if they hadn’t given in my options for pursuing further are limited and vary greatly from state to state.

In Australia if I was refused a refund in a similar situation I would just have to submit a complaint against them online (via the department of Fair Trading) outlining what my issue is, what I want the retailer to do, and what they said when I asked them. Fair trading then sends them a letter that strongly encourages them to self-mediate with the customer. This almost always works. If it doesn’t then it goes to small claims court where you don’t need a lawyer at all and where the consumer wins the majority of the time.

I would be willing to bet that there are a mere handful of countries (if any) with stronger nationwide consumer protection laws than Australia.
I dont know, the paper that described waterfall used it as an example of what not to do, they covered the better method on the following page but it seems people only read the "headline".
> The core problem is that PIs are human

Actually, the problematic behaviours you describe are encouraged at the institutional level, because institutions also get more funding if they output more/better research. The fact that postdocs don't want to commit scientific suicide for the sake of morals in that context should surprise no one.

The ground truth is that scientific research has been turned into a poorly regulated industry, and we are all poorer for it.

There's a very simple solution to alleviate this pain: be much more selective starting at the undergrad level. But that generates less money, so baaaaad...
Propaganda is more subtle than that.

Good propaganda uses lots of truth, and definitely avoids false things as much as possible.

(I make a distinction between true and not false, in the sense that eg '1 + 1 = 2' is true, 'the moon is made of cheese is false', but 'the US is a great nation' is not false.)
FYI there’s a search mode called verbatim, and it’s not the same as putting the individual words in quotes. It’s hidden under the search tools menu. In my experience the results it provides always contain the search terms.

Maybe the pendulum could swing back the other way slightly and we could have room for an older Yahoo-style indexed search engine. This wouldn't be something that would be browsed instead of search, but if you had a general categories list indexed, say 'finance' or 'graphic design', users could enter those sections and search sites categorised accordingly. Perhaps some ranking could be done based on search terms used within a category and what site a user ends up visiting (e.g. many users end up visiting a certain stackexchange link when searching for 'parsing json in python' within the 'computer programming' category, and so its rank increases). Heck instead of ads, maybe each category page could have a list of 'popular / trending sites on this topic' section at the topic that pages could pay to be placed in.

Not sure if this solves any user problem to be honest, and the idea is only appealing to me because I think some amount of domain expertise and human curation could go into categorising pages. While this sounds (and no doubt would be) labour intensive, if we consider the number of domains that users actually visit when conducting a search (i.e. ignoring anything past page 1 of google) then perhaps it's not so extreme.

Self-sovereignty is a technical characteristic of blockchains where nobody can prove you own a asset or did a transaction. That makes it hard to prove tax compliance or non-compliance.

To those who think Ethereum on-chain activity is merely pseudonymous and not private, you're correct, but only temporarily, because zero knowledge platforms are arriving and will enable many common financial activities to be performed in a truly private context.

Thanks!

Hmm, yeah, the swiping UX seems to be pretty tricky to get right. Initially I didn't have the percentage but some early testers highly recommended I add it for two reasons:

1) They couldn't see well and found the addition of the percentage was helpful in clarifying their swipe value.

2) It made it more obvious that the magnitude of swiping mattered, as opposed to swiping just being a binary yes/no option.

The two concepts idea is interesting. I'll have to think more on that. I think it might be tricky to implement though, because not every topic has a natural converse.

My analysis as a reader is that there might be something to it. On the one hand, the concept of original sin sounds deeply unfair, but then again, when you look at society, it's kinda hard to deny that most people really are drawn to all sorts of prejudice, selfishness, etc, and it takes real effort to recognise that, admit it, and work to improve. A lot of people feel like they don't need to do that because their arrogance tells them they're already doing everything right. I don't think that's ever the case.

I'm in the same age group and this is what I don't get. If you're enjoying your experience so much, why the hell are you trying so hard to create content for social media? Just sit back and relax.

I think the biggest thing for people our age (And probably a bit older as well) is that they lack purpose. Social media is so popular because it's instant gratification, and a great way to attempt to fill that void.

I understand the instinctual cynicism that many have when they view the recent surge in retail trading. But I genuinely believe this is not only a good shift, but a needed one.

Will some people get burnt with YOLO options trades? Absolutely. But guess what, holding onto cash in a savings account is getting you burnt right now too, its just happening too slow for most to realize.

In reality, we are all traders and virtually every financial action we take (or don't take) is a trade. Doing nothing with your money is a trade. Buying a house is a trade. Investing in a 401k is a trade. Buying pokemon cards is a trade.

The fact that the current generation of high schoolers/college kids think investing and trading is cool is actually a really good thing. The world is becoming increasingly financialized and they need to understand this. The financial gatekeepers have had their fun for long enough.
