    It is terrible indeed, but I’d rather say that is because linux development is not focused enough on the desktop. KDE does a decent job out of the box, but still cracks in too many corners (still, after so many years…). GNOME looks cool but has terrible usability. People praise it for its design, but none of those people are designers or have any idea about design beyond color combinations. I know, your obscure other window manager is great and I will try it out soon.

    I’m a bit optimistic that things will get better eventually. We have a decent service manager now and half-standardized packaging solutions. It also seems like the biggest pain with X vs. Wayland is over. Things kind of work, but it’s far from a good desktop experience.

    Terrible still, but dude I’m happy I’m over here and not in one of the other camps right now.








  • Easier said than done though. If the results are non-significant, that can be due to all sorts of things only one of them being a lack of an actual effect. If your measure is bad/noisy/not well calibrated, your research plan has flaws etc., the sample is too small, … Most non-significant results are due to bad research and it’s hard to identify the other ones. Preregistration and registered reports are some ideas to change that


  • Satire becomes the new way to roll a business. We’ve reached a point where this kind of post with its obviously satirical framing could as well come from an actual founder dude who just craves for maximum attention with nothing to show for it and just trying to go from there. At this point it doesn’t matter anymore if it’s satirical or not as long as it gets the clicks. Clicks turn into dollars at some point.

    Not to blame lil’ Ky-Nam here, although looking at the short summary (3x Majors CS, Econ) this sounds like either the entire profile is satire or he is unseriously serious about this kind of hype business approach to just get attention and then go from there. But maybe it’s just a dude.

    What a time, we can’t even discriminate the authentic crap from toxic crap anymore.
