Conveniently, clicking through to the actual data returns a 404.

That first chart isn’t even trying to hide that is fake. It’s depicting a perfect mirroring.

Hey now, they aren’t Nazis. Nazis at least believe in something, even if it’s something terrible.

To answer disassociating you. You had help. That’s how.

This isn’t 32000 in 1 wave, though. This is ~2500 a year over 13 years. Even the answers given at the beginning of the study could have changed wildly if the same people had been polled at the end. And even if not, 4 people per city is not representative of an entire city at any given moment of time.

What demographics in China did they poll each year? Did they poll people of different racial profiles? Did they poll uyhgurs? Were the candidates selected randomly or were the assigned by the government? If the latter, were they coached or paid? Any number of things could throw off that study.

That is by far the least satisfying study I’ve ever heard. 32000 people surveyed over 13 years. That’s essentially 3.5 people per city in China. How are we to take that as a valid survey?

I’d certainly be interested in how those Harvard studies were accomplished what with much of China not being on the Internet. 95 percent certainly sounds high.

I only do that when the problem space is interesting.

Most developers are just implementing CRUD using a framework that does most of the work. There isn’t the interest motivation to keep on trying to fix things.

Yeah. This was the face of an old man having trouble believing what he was hearing.

He looks like a walking corpse, but he seemed to understand what he was hearing and was just amazed by it.

Think about the Pentium versions of the Celeron, too. XP was their peak time.

Some things we would want to install aren’t in the official repos. Downloading the deb file is a solution to that for newer users.

Do it 2 days before highly anticipated mod drops

It’s not attitude they are giving you. It’s strong recommendation. It’s the strong recommendation of the entire Linux community.

Sudo is different than run as admin and is not intended to be used to do things the way Windows does them.

I’d rather just more farscape. Or a whole new IP. My biggest pet peeve with scifi is that they keep hinting at trying new ideas by leveraging old IP just for name recognition.

It’s good for business but bad for creativity.

This interaction is so indicative of the reality of device fandom.

The Android user isn’t storing information about the iPhone in their brain.

The iPhone user is responding like everybody knows everything about iPhone features and it was dumb of the android user to not know this thing.

Windows reports using binary and continues to use the Greek terms. Windows is still the holder of largest market share for PC operating systems.

This is such a weird take to me. We don’t even colloquially discuss computer storage in terms of 1000.

The Greek terms were used from the beginning of computing and the new terms of kibi and mebi (etc.) were only added in 1998 when Members it the IEC got upset. But despite that, most personal computers still report in the binary way. The decimal is only used on boxes for marketing terms.

That indicates that you might buy it if it’s good. The person I replied to implied they would never have purchased it at all.

If you were never going to buy it, why pirate it?

Don’t worry. They’ll change it again next week.
