This isn't punishment. This is negative reinforcement. This applies to an ongoing unwanted behavior.

When you say "terminal" I think what you really mean is a "shell" which runs within the Terminal. Googling for "bash", "shell scripting", "beginner" and "hello world" are likely to lead you to more useful content.

Also, as much as it's helpful to write code, it's also helpful to read code and try to understand what it's doing. Ask lots of questions.

Well this was like learning aliens exist.

They're using Matlab because it's well known within the target community. Also, Psychtoolbox has been around for a long time and has been subject to studies that look specifically at precision.

Interesting. I'm wondering if the PsychoPy devs have noticed this.

It's about preventing deaths and making people feel safe traveling.

I wonder if anyone has looked into the relationship between time-of-day and battery level? Could it be the case that phone batteries are typically lower across the board at certain times of day? If most people aren't charging their phone during business hours, perhaps it's likely that batteries are typically lower around rush (surge) hour. A correlation doesn't imply causality sort of thing.

Working from home definitely has advantages, but I've been absorbing costs e.g., heating, cooling, electricity just to name a few. I think if given the option I would prefer a majority WFH situation, but these other costs do affect one's total compensation.

"Just say it's the warm air and the cold air and bending light and stuff. They'll buy it."

That settles it. We're living in a simulation.

We already have plenty of curated news outlets. It's entirely possible we will simply end up with another one.

I don't care so much about the story, it was the level of detail you doled out about your patient, where it was, what year, etc.

Call me crazy, but I felt like this story was perhaps a little too specific.

Painful lessons, yes. Instant gratification versus long-term planning. I think this applies to more than just software.

I thought he was apologizing for his use of personal attacks, profanity, insults, and generally what he describes as a lack of empathy. Things like that. His hardliner attitude hasn't changed.

You know who else handled conflict in a way that wasn't always understood? Linus Torvalds. I think there's a theme here. Why is it that successful project maintainers sometimes lose their patience with the community? Remember when GvR left the Python community? I think one of his final public statements was, "Now that PEP 572 is done, I don’t ever want to have to fight so hard for a PEP and find that so many people despise my decisions."

I'm not saying you're wrong, but there certainly is evidence out there that suggests Google in fact does respect user privacy. For example, activity.google.com. They are also pretty up front about their privacy policy, how they use cookies, data retention policy, and so forth on policies.google.com. There is a lot of information there.

There's a case to be made that Google is trying to do the right thing.

I saw it as a counterpoint to AirPrint. I'd like to know what changed that made Google think they don't really need this anymore. Maybe they think WiFi Direct is going to be the future?
