Are you not entertained?

For a month or two I still kept the app on my phone. As a memento.

Reddit’s official UX experiences suck balls

There’s a difference between an advance that repudiates prior understanding and one that doesn’t. You can, in maths - and I assume this is the point - know that you are right, in a way that you can’t with a more… epistemological science. Of course it’s more complex than that, and a lot of maths is pretty sciency, like deriving approximate solutions for PDEs is more experimental than you might imagine, but even though we might make improvements there, we’ll never go ‘oh actually those error bounds are wrong’. They might be non optimal but they’ll never be wrong

I always maintain that Aristotle’s notions of how to test theories of ‘natural philosophy’ are a reasonable starting point for ‘science’

Some of them, sometimes. But some are adulated and free and contribute vast swathes to our culture and understanding.

A new London bus costs around £300k, so whilst is plausible that the watch cost more than my ‘car’, it’s a pretty stupid way of spending that amount of money…

Alas

There’s a study on this… I o py remember it pretty vaguely, but the tl;dr was that if people win at gambling it doesn’t hold much appeal – the initial drive to continue gambling only comes after losses. Something about ‘making up for’ anything you lost drives the addiction behaviour far more. This struck me initially as kinda counter-intuitive (you’d think that people were more motivated by behaviours with positive outcomes, right?) so it always stuck in my head…

For the ‘I use … BTW’ meme to say something else.

No, actually, I can’t think of anything. I’m pretty comfortable with it at this point. Been running it since 2013…

You say ‘dumbing things down’ I say ‘that’s kinda condescending talk that implies that anything else isn’t shut when it clearly is’

You say crappy, I say wait. My knees won’t have to bend so much. I’d actually take this if I didn’t have kids

Deodorant and I have never really spent much time together - perhaps because I live in a mild climate and don’t do much sports - but god damn do I love a hot shower.

As more and more libraries are open source on GitHub or gitlab or sourceforge or whateverthefuck, asking questions on the libraries themselves (as an issue) is often the right thing to do, too… Less centralised than SO but also the only people who care about how to do things in a lib are people using the lib, so…

Wellllll the implications of the ending of 28 weeks later is that the rest of the world had a reprieve but are fucked eventually…

That’s a lovely little idea, imma steal that

Yeah you can basically completely disregard any other aspect in this study, right? ‘massive trauma in early life has strong impact’ is the real finding here, and that’s hardly a new one

Is this a joke? Analysis of techniques would be literally asking why an argument were lost, if an argument was indeed lost. Of course you’re making a lot of assumptions there, and I agree you’re not making an effort

YouTube will put multiple ad breaks into a popular 8 min video. Which is why I use playtube and/or Firefox with ad block unless I’m too hungover to fully function
