    Perhaps they haven't discovered strlen() and they have to manually check that they don't go over the limit?

  2. No surpise. on Study Finds Little Lies Lead To Bigger Ones (go.com) · · Score: 1

    If the study had concluded that little lies don't lead to bigger lies then it'd be much harder to justify further research.

  3. Inability to distinguish an X from a model X on Harvard Researchers Print World's First Heart-On-A-Chip (gizmodo.com) · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Are atoms like little balls with different numbers of holes in them depending on what colour they are? Of course not. But that's how you teach chemistry to young kids, and at that level the approximation is good enough.

    Now go by some reading glasses.

    What good will that do, unless I turn round and go back? Typical millennial - it doesn't matter if your shit is unreadable because it's not worth reading anyway.

    You're talking about overfitting.

    The thing is they aren't doing that regression-and- frigging-the-coefficients thing. It's a physics based, bottom up, method.

    Nice armchair.
