The replication crisis is a problem of capitalism. The need to earn grants and to publish "ground-breaking" research lest you lose your job means that no one really gets to focus on making sure all that older stuff gets published. You're better off trying to show some cool new fact than to replicate (or fail to replicate) something done 20 years ago.
@melissasage Is it possible to run a Pokemon game using base-890 pokemon digits instead of binary?
@avi Pokémon is just a base-890 number system
Ivysaur (pokedex number 2) + Ivysaur (pokedex number 2) equals Charmander (pokedex number 4)
@melissasage Ok, off the top of your head: Is Ditto a prime number? What about Sableye?

When I was, like, 12, I thought Sonic 3 & Knuckles was the greatest game ever. When I was 18, I actively enjoyed Weezer, particularly the first album. Tastes change. People change. I don't like Sonic or Weezer anymore but I do own a blue penis. Every little thing influences you in a certain way.

@melissasage God was slacking off in making me fatter, but then Melissa intervened
I really don't understand this aspect of tech culture. That it's commonplace for people to push back on documenting their work for others to use, or to act like testing and code reviews are a big burden. There is so much money involved and you want to be fast and sloppy. Wtf.
I mean, if I were to so much as design a flyer for a company, I'd expect there to be at least 3 emails of back and forth before we had a final version, and probably a lot, lot more.
Trans, guy of center, well over 18.
I'm in tech and it feels weird.
