If you feel that the conclusion of the individual bias results are not convincing, then you probably should not trust the estimated base rate from the analysis of the Psych Science articles. I think the results are convincing, and I am not sure why you say there will be a high false discovery rate (false discovery means concluding bias when it does not exist - a Type I error). If bias does not exist, then (in the ideal case where true experimental power is known) the Type I error rate is 0.1. When power is estimated from the data, the Type I error rate is generally much smaller than 0.1.

As for a conclusion of bias being "strong", I think we have to define the term. Certainly I would not suggest that a conclusion of bias means that authors are being dishonest or stupid. There are many ways for published results to become biased. However, I think the appearance of bias does mean that scientists should be skeptical about the validity of the reported results. The impetus is on the original authors to provide good support for their theoretical ideas, and biased data generally do not provide such support.

The closest example I know of that relates to your description of contrasting registries and published results is a comparison of theses and subsequent journal articles. Details are at

I really like the simplistic principles http://roca-style.org defines for web applications.

I find single page applications way too complex. The amount of code duplication is horrific. So everyone ends up building platforms like GWT or Dart in order to hide that overhead. But that does not mean that things get simple.

(Maybe I'm getting old.)
not everyone can be a software developer, and frankly we can't have a society of people who only have specialist skills. There will always be a need for people with minimal skills to do low-skill jobs. They're doing work that has to get done too.
The standout result for me that led me to believe this was very likely the case was that Erlang scored _horribly_ on concurrency bugs. To me, that makes sense: you're seeing all the bugs that come from trying to tackle tricky high concurrency situations, which is why people picked Erlang in the first place. If people tried to tackle those exact same problems in other languages, we'd probably see them doing worse at concurrency.

I live in The Netherlands, a pretty liberal kingdom with excellent social security and unemployment benefits. But don't be mistaken, it's not a socialist country. Not by a long shot. The biggest political parties are liberal-conservative and social-democrats. The latter lean towards the left, but our only true socialist party is much more to the left. They're only the sixth party by size.

Neat, but this is not a general purpose C interpreter. It seems to lack the preprocessor and is only able to execute the example program and itself because it has wrapper implementations for a static set of standard library functions including printf(), open(), read() and malloc().[1] Use a standard library function it does not readily support, and you're out of luck.

I just had a great trip to a cousins wedding and saw a lot of family. My Parents' generation are now just past the 'age of retirement' and are in their late 60s and early 70s.

The majority of them are still working in their bullshit jobs. I asked several if they were going to retire soon and they all replied the same. If they retire what would they do? Even though their work is mostly pointless from a job function perspective, it gives them something to do and keeps them active and social. It is not stressful for them and they enjoy it for the most part.

I wonder if we are all working these jobs because there is nothing better to do.

> if people will pay for a service, doesn't that fact give the service value over 'bullshit'?

That's not necessarily true. There are a lot of reasons why people or companies pay for things, and those reasons aren't necessarily related to the value of the things themselves. Consider:

- The effect of advertising (in grocery stores, for example: http://www.buffalo.edu/news/releases/2009/11/10635.html).

- Corporate environments where bribery -- or its fancy equivalent, paying for nice dinners and ski trips for customers -- determines sales.

- Conflict-of-interest: guy responsible for purchasing works out a big contract between his firm and the vendor his wife owns.

- Vendor lock-in.

- Fear. This explains pretty well the bidding wars between Google and Facebook -- each of which fears losing an advantage over the other -- over startups whose value can very rarely reasonably amount to N times the value of companies who actually Build Things.

Money is at most a loose approximation for value. It can represent other things as well.
Best Shot – Protecting ourselves from the anti-vaccine movement
Interesting article and a strong feeling that there is something there that we all know but we don't say, declare to ourselves and to the others. So I think there another point to add here: everything manages to stick together not because of an not well explained hate for 'real workers' (I can see that it exists, but how does it contribute to keep everyone in its place?).

On one hand it is the most stupid of all the answers: its' because of money, the salary that you get paid to do this pointless jobs.

And on the other hand it is because of something less clearly perceivable, yet profound and 'democratized': a part from the 'real' jobs mentioned in the article - physical labor jobs, agriculture, health services - almost all the other workers are equated by the secret perception of being paid more instead of the value of their job, the value of their real work effort and contribution. But this perception alone won't do the job. It works because it is matched by a counter-perception, almost as unmentionable: if most of the employees feel they manage to get paid more than what they do (not of what they deserve because this implies other personal, political, social, intellectual considerations), most of the employers do feel that are paying their employees less than what they contribute to the wealth of the company or organization, less of what their contribution's value is.

I believe that this is at the parallel combination of these perceptions is, at least one, of the main reasons why everything keep staying the way it is, why we don't work less.

What to do?

Organize the work differently. Start-ups have the potential to structure a division of labour, responsibilities and remuneration that provides a better sense of empowerment, equal contribution to the common aim of that the organization/company has, fair returns from the effort done. It doesn't last long thou. As soon as the start-up become institutionalized, e.g. direct control is lost over certain operations and processes, the company/organization become bigger, certain part of the work done is captured only with quarterly reports or similar simplification, tales of the work done, the objective achieved, it tend to become as any other existing company, recreating that dual perception that I've mentioned before.

Bottom line is (probably): perception for perception, let's ask more often and with less fear(?) to our colleagues, to the other people in general how much do they earn? what does really involve their job? It may sound a futile exercise but I believe that by communicating to each other, by spelling it out, we will play around with other possibilities, with alternative organizations and modes of labour.
It's taken a long time for Linux to support NTFS fully as well. Not surprisingly, ReactOS has taken some time also. I think that's fair enough, unless you particularly enjoy filesystem corruption.

Censum 2.0.0 with Java 8 Support and G1 Analysis
The author himself notices half way through the text that he might have gone out on a limb. If his description of "bullshit jobs" was at least followed by some statistics on marginal valued added (to a product, service) by that particular job (and how this margin has become lower and lower) then we could start a serious discussion about it. But now his extraordinary claims just stand there as a shallow rant, more like a romantic anecdote to Victorian economics than a fundamental analysis of capitalism.
NSA old boy Stewart Baker is a fascinating character. Here's what he said at the Economic Warfare Institute at American Center for Democracy in 2012 (before Snowden leaks):

He is a long-time proponent of export controls for cryptography and government mandated escrow-keys. In 1994, he wrote an article for Wired Magazine titled:
"Don't Worry Be Happy: Why Clipper Is Good For You". This guy is a cryptowars veteran.

So, in a sense--you're right, he's not incompetent. Rather, he is a professional ideologue: making the case against privacy rights that crypto-tech enables. If you have experience with KGB "agitprop" and "active measures", you'll be very familiar with the techniques that these sort of people employ for their cause. We should promptly react to his demagoguery by showing it for what it is--sophistry.

The guide opens with an analogy suggesting that picking the best stocks to invest in is equivalent to picking the best restaurant to eat at, and that technical analysis is equivalent to looking for the stall with the most people at it.

If technical analysis is equivalent to looking for the restaurant with the most people at it, then the restaurant that you're trying to find is the one that, over the period that you intend to eat there, will gain the most new customers, relative to the number of customers it had when you walked in, not the one that's best to eat at.

The flawed analogy exactly explains the problem with technical analysis.
There are a few issues with these:

1) "Server-side rendering can be faster" - the information in this part quietly ignores the fact that:

* even if you have server-side rendering, you are still going to load external javascript/css files

* browsers optimize multiple resource loading by opening multiple concurrent connections and reusing connections

* you can and should use cdn (hence actually lowering the 'theoretical' minimum time)

* browsers cache excessively - and you can make them cache even for longer

* the fact that rendering on the server-side takes a lot of cpu and hence increases response time dramatically the more requests are made

6) while reloading the page when the code changes is a good idea, hot updating javascript is a really bad idea - beyond the fact that it's terribly hard, will most likely result in memory leaks in the end and as far as I know no one is doing it, it'll be extremely hard to maintain or debug.

The rest of the principles are quite true, informative and should be practiced more often (assuming you actually have the time to engage in these kind of improvements as opposed to making more features).

I've never been to NYC, but the diversity there, as you describe it, seems pretty amazing. You're lucky to have grown up within it. I'm married to a Brazilian, and she was the only one who spoke English when I'd visit her there while we were dating. She couldn't translate everything for everyone, so I had to pick up Portuguese as quickly as possible. I can confirm that the welcome I received into that new and different culture was an amazing experience.

I agree with your message about the value of diversity, but the challenge I see is getting everyone to embrace that value. Imagine that group of suburbanites was the majority in a city/industry you want to be in. What do you think can be done to help them understand the value of being open to learning/trying new things from different cultures while they share their own culture with those who want to learn?
I wonder if a generalized linear mixed model approach to analysis might be better - I am curious if there was different between-project variation in error rate within each language. And interpreting the proportion of model deviance explained ("1%") is deceptive. Committer number and project size are nuisance variables - we wish to know what the size of the differences between languages would be when applied to the same project. We should also be interested in interactions between project size and language. The paper needs summary plots of the raw data.

Still, a demo would be nice. I suppose the "access local files" part is not strictly necessary.

I can't help but pity people who say "there is nothing better to do" (but then again, maybe that's because I'm employed, working 10 hours a day).

We live at a time when "I have nothing to do" is a really bullshit excuse. You have the whole internet available!

- learn languages (e.g. Portuguese, Russian, Chinese, Japanese, Arabic, Spanish - to cover most of the world's population)

- learn new stuff (statistics/machine learning, quantum mechanics, chemistry/biology, philosophy, programming, ...)

- do crowd-funded science (https://www.zooniverse.org/)

- help with open source projects (they need both programmers and non-programmers)

- teach people English (or any other language you know)

- entertain yourself (chat, watch movies, read books, play games)

Even for older generations, who might not be so comfortable with technology, there are plenty of useful things they can do in the real world.

- mentor kids

- tidy up parks and other public spaces

- participate in or organize hackatons/hardware hackatons/makerspaces

- experiment with learning/science/research in your home (make a spice garden, grow plants using hydroponics, prototype using 3D printing, redecorate your home with cheap materials)

- hang out with lonely (often elderly) people

- (learn to) cook

- work out (bodyweight exercises - you'll live longer)

I seriously cannot imagine ever being bored with nothing useful to do (except when I get home after work, I'm tired and I only have an hour or two of free time, so there's not much time to start anything meaningful - but even so, I spend a lot of time programming my personal projects).
Who are all these people that you are talking about? :)

FYI, the core GIMP team admitted long ago that GIMP's UI/UX sucks _and_ started dealing with that. See gui.gimp.org for reference.
Don't take this too personal please but I think this is exactly how privilege works: For you it was funny because it happened to you once when you were on holidays. Now imagine this happened to you over and over, hundreds of times, since you were little in all sorts of contexts, at school, uni, work, on the street, at parties, friends, colleagues, people you don't even now. I think it gets less funny pretty fast.

The point of the OPs anecdote was that if a child who really sees an Afro for the first time does this it's okay. But grown-ups (who even if they only have contact to other white people are able to read up on those things) should know better.
Yeah, I guess something like unions could work for that. Oh wait, apparently those are bad, too.

Be careful about stereotyping; not everyone who dislikes the involvement of the State is against unions - as long as they're not enforced by law, but voluntary.

An extreme example would be an anarcho-syndicalist, but there are libertarians who support unions as well.
