  4. Just bad analogies on Python Joins Movement To Dump 'Offensive' Master, Slave Terms (theregister.co.uk) · · Score: 1

    They are just bad analogies when your think about it.

    In practice we are talking about a List and Details for data contexts or Manager Worker for object situation.

    That alone should be good enough reason.

  5. The root issue is Narcissism. They need increasing amounts of egotistic admiration otherwise their ego/self image will suffer. At first they can achieve rapid growth in subs which feeds their ego, but they need for more attention to gain the same endorphin high, but ultimately there subscribers will plateau they will not get the highs.

    Even those that do not start as Narcissists, will acquired situational narcissism as long as they receive constant positive feedback, it rewires their brains to need the endorphin high.

  11. Shit science journalism on New Research Suggests Evolution Might Favor 'Survival of the Laziest' (phys.org) · · Score: 3, Insightful

    This is pretty much the norm for many so called science correspondents. The /. summary and the article misrepresent the paper it pretty much impossible to know where to start.

    Evolution is not Anthropomorphic.

    This can be used for good or evil, the lesson here should be for reasonable people to use them for good as readily as the anti-social criminal cowards are prepared to use them for evil, something that does happen.

  13. Ponzi schemes are built on the greed of their victims.

    It's not rocket science, but some people are just too dumb to ever learn even when it's spelt out in the simplest terms.

    Who will be along promptly to excuse this with some spurious claims. It never ceases to amaze me how some people are prepared cooperate in their own oppression. They are no different to the victims of domestic violence that continuously return to their abuser.

    Studies have shown that out of body experiences are fake. Picture were placed on the top of cabinets in emergency rooms, such that they are only visible from above. The people that reported out of body experiences are unable to report even the presence of these picture never mind the content.

  19. Recognising style on Researchers Use Machine-Learning Techniques To De-Anonymize Coders (wired.com) · · Score: 2

    Once I've worked with a team for a while, I can generally recognise who coded something it from their style.

    There are plenty of stylistic elements that distinguish the actual coder, even in shops with tight coding standards. Some favour for loops, some unrole their code, some cram lots of logic on one line, while others aggressively decompose. Some will write very abstract code, others tightly focused on the specific case. Some will use lots of getter setters, others will favour tell don't ask, some will use favour 'do { ... } while()', others will use while loops. Some very short snappy functions, some longer functions, some use programming domain naming, others favour business domain naming. Some favour arrays, others favour collections.

    I've often be approached by collegue with comments, such 'this looks like your code' and they are usually right, so this is not some special skill I possess. It is absolutely realistic that an algorithm or AI could identify these elements with static analysis and metrics and a sufficient sample.

  20. Good Science demands proper verification through peer review and testing for safety and efficacy, that stance is not anti-science as the shills suggest. The pharmaceutical industry manages this, there is no good reason GMO should avoid this burden of proof. GMO offer great potential, but a disaster such thalidomide, DDT, asbestos could set progress back decades.

  24. I'd be more inclined to look at the different motivations for male and female doctors.

    Men are motivated to become doctors because it is a highly prestigious profession, they are also more likely to choose to become specialist in something like surgery.

    Female doctors are much more likely to be motivated by compassionate and empathic reasons, the also more like to become general practitioners.

    This is going lead to different levels of experience and skill in communication and diagnostics.
