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 love this game. It’s my current Steam Deck title I’m working through on trips. Absolutely gorgeous!

I didn’t actually know about Dave the Driver being a big publisher until just now. I felt that game was kinda under-developed for how hyper it was and now I’m even more disappointed.

It only has like 6 major areas and the levels didn’t have that much variety. Plus the side content is fairly under polished. I enjoyed it for the first 60ish percent but was kinda forcing myself to finish it by the end.

I finished it 3 times, so I’d say I’m pretty patient.

I always hear stuff like this but in hundreds of hours of play on both PlayStation 5 and PC. I’ve never experienced any serious bugs. It’s so interesting to me that experiences can vary so much between people.

I wake up at noon because I’m depressed and went back to sleep.

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.

I’m going to be honest. I’d be really annoyed if somebody kept asking me for a ride because they don’t want to be a driver. I also hate driving but it’s necessary where I live for most cases.

Hopefully you’re taking the inconvenience to others into account when asking for a ride to places.

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

By this description, year zero is the time between the 0 and the 1 for the same reason the time between 10 and 11 is the year 10.

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.

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.

Trump has people trying to get his base to buy the stock with the express purpose of pumping it up to give him more assets to work with to fund his legal battles.

I wouldn’t be surprised if the SEC is currently investigating it because they haven’t been trying to hide it at all.

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.
