it's USB either way, it's just a standard chip you don't normally find in a flash drive

Does Commons now close every day at 2:30? by DieGo2SHAEin yale

The residential colleges are open slightly later now, and Commons closes early. Relevant YDN article

They also changed the dishware to "discourage tray use". Now you can use a large dinner plate or a tiny saucer.

At least it's self-repairing

This is a big storm. Some neighborhoods in NYC are being evacuated. We're pretty close to the LI Sound and the projections I've seen have the storm passing directly over us.

I doubt Wednesday classes would be disrupted. Since the colleges were recently renovated, the basements will probably be okay, but college basements have flooded in the past.

Who Does Facebook Think You're Stalking: javascript bookmarklet reveals how facebook ranks your friends by i_practice_santeriain programming

I'm more worried about the people who aren't knowledgeable enough to be paranoid (although since this is /r/programming, that's probably not an issue).

Also, the 90 kilobytes of what appear to be minimized jQuery is harder to inspect.

Can we maybe think twice before encouraging people to grab bookmarklets that fetch and execute javascript from a 3rd party server?

Right, it just grabs the list that Facebook grabs on every page, parses it and shows it on your screen.

Pigeons switch doors (the optimal strategy) on the famous Monty Hall Problem, whereas many humans do not. by MasCapitalin science

[–]pwnsnake 4 points5 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

In the first experiment, they started off more likely to stay, and over thirty days learned to switch. So they ran a second experiment that manipulated the problem so that staying was the optimal solution, and in that case the pigeons learned to stay.

The motivation for Experiment 2 was to test the interpretation that pigeons in Experiment 1 had learned to switch based on their history of reinforcement during previous trials. This interpretation was supported, as birds in Experiment 2 adopted a different strategy appropriate to the different probabilities of reinforcement in effect.

So the pigeons learned to switch through reinforcement, not through some innate understanding of the Monty Hall problem. The title of the link is misleading.

Yalies, do you want tags next to your nicks (major/degree, class year, college)? by pwnsnakein yale

I've made it text-only on the front page. I can add in the college as text, but in CSS that will be a pain...

Subreddit customization suggestions by TIMCOTTin yale

9bit's Yalien uses more the style Y you find on sweatshirts (yours looks like it's from the Yale font).

I do like the idea of the Yale banner.

I actually just became a moderator yesterday, so this is just the beginning. I'm working on a custom theme as well.
