Actually, the study included also papers retracted due to suspected fraud. I can imagine that people, especially male ones, are more cautious about telling suspicion of fraud about the work of women than on the work of men. So there might actually be such a systemic bias in the data.
Guess what? If you go to an architect, he designs a new house for you. He doesn't just give you another copy of the house plan he designed five years ago. That's what you pay him for.
That's not a viable strategy because your heart beat frequency also goes up if you are angry on something. Indeed, about every emotion increases it. What you therefore would need is an emotionless life.
1) People check not null against ResultSet.getInt() in JDBC (to check if a nullable Integer column is in fact null or not), when it can never return null (and checking for 0 is also wrong because it might be a valid value).
So your complaint is that they add checks for something that shouldn't happen? You know, in C there's even a separate header for this type of checks: <assert.h>
3) Many objects have a getJSON() function where we create JSON by hand (using string constant and +s). And this is not a debug string - these go into our server logs, which are parsed downstream by hadoop jobs.
I don't see any problem with that. The method name already says that it creates a JSON string, so it cannot be a case of missing flexibility (a method named getJSON that generates anything which is not JSON would be stupid). And as long as the JSON string generated is correct, then why not generate it directly?
Indeed, over abstraction can be detrimental as well. If there's a bug, and you have to seek for hours just to find out where the actual code doing the work sits, there's something wrong.
5) We have some encryption and decryption in our workflow. The classes which have have the encryption/decryption algorithm have a lengthy init, but don't maintain any state. Yet we create a new object of that class for every request in our server.
If the class doesn't maintain any state, then what is the lengthy initialization for? Maybe the problem is in the design of that class instead.
Doesn't your phone broadcast its identity all the time anyway to the cell phone network? That happens even if your Wifi is turned off, or even if your phone doesn't even have Wifi. So what is the point of tracking the Wifi?
Wifi off should mean that it doesn't probe anything. It should mean that the antenna is not used. Why would a phone scan the environment when you explicitly told it that you don't want to use Wifi?
Yes, they can do that, it's called passive scanning. Which doesn't mean they will do that. Note that active scanning is faster than passive scanning (which is important if a data connection is already established because during scanning you cannot transmit data).
You are aware that for some keyboard layouts even the number of keys differs? And even for the others it is not for all keys trivial to decide which one is "the same" key between layouts.
For web passwords, you'd probably end up with tons of encoding errors. You don't want to have a password which if set with browser X will fail when used on browser Y.

so... you think Zuckerberg's personal machine runs Facebook?
Or is it that you just don't understand host files?
I think that you just don't understand humour
Maybe the reason is simply due to men doing more negotiation of their wages on average? Are there any studies about that?

The most problematic is googleapis, because many web sites simply won't work without those.
Have you tried making sure they have access to great food and drinks?
With the quality of the food/drinks reflecting the quality of the code?

Make a working replica of the miniature fusion engine that powers the suit, and I'll be interested. :-)

Wifi off should mean that it doesn't probe anything. It should mean that the antenna is not used. Why would a phone scan the environment when you explicitly told it that you don't want to use Wifi?
Maybe there are available access points with weak signal strength, and the phone ramps up its sending power?
Yes, they can do that, it's called passive scanning. Which doesn't mean they will do that. Note that active scanning is faster than passive scanning (which is important if a data connection is already established because during scanning you cannot transmit data).
I strongly doubt that.
Yeah, and burning $100 bills (not including the bills) is cheaper than going to the cinema.
And the AC didn't claim that you dispute anything.
I'm sure that's already in all dictionaries.
I just notice that my editing made things worse ... "the others" in the second sentence means the keys which are found on both layouts.

Why should all browsers change to communicate with Skype, instead Skype to communicate with browsers?
They are starting to act like a cornered animal, trying to pull out many of their old monopolistic tricks out of their war chest.
Or maybe they are developing what they believe is better technology in a time frame better suited to their needs.
The two are not mutually exclusive.
Have you read what they say about Titan's atmosphere? Of course you cannot see the monolith.
I don't know about you, but I definitely won't buy a song just to find out if I like it.
