@YannisRizos - Jordan has been going through various chat rooms complaining about his ban to various people that have nothing to do with it. Someone asked him if he was just complaining at random sites ("shotgun approach" I think they said) and he agreed.
@Jordan Furthermore, please note that Stack Exchange is not a help / support forum, but a Q&A site. There are certain basic guidelines that you are required to follow, after all you are asking people to volunteer their time for free to help you learn. Your behaviour insofar is abusive to both communities.
@psr The first programming principle I learned was RTFM. It amazes me how many people just fail to read the absolutely simplistic guidelines... If that makes me an elitist bitch, I'll wear that badge with honour...
@psr I somehow suspected he did things at random ;)
@Rachel I know... And a good think you did, however A vs B questions are mostly not constructive. It would be preferable to present an actual scenario where you are thinking of applying A or B. Anyways, tequila time, bye ;)
It's now after tequila time, so I'm off to bed ;) Bye...
I've been a software developer for 4 years in this company, and I've been in close contact with a lot of non-native English speakers. I'm from Eastern Europe, some of the people I work with are Americans by birth, but most of my colleagues are from China, India, Pakistan, Taiwan, Japan. It doesn'...
@YannisRizos Regarding engrish, though the question may seem to be off-topic he does have a valid point. Comments such as "time get value increased" puts you in a bother whether value increases with time or time increases with value. "Rule 67 Treat English as Just Another Programming Language". Somebody may help this poor guy who is fighting cross-cultural understanding, which in itself is a big topic.
No! I just wanted to ask about the book Critical Thinking Tools by Richard Paul, Linda Elder -
You are right. Critical Thinking(CT) is extremely hard. Going by the technique, for more complex issues we need to have better depths in reasoning.
I am thinking of mapping cognitive bias and critical thinking. Simply, if somebody is sure that they have a cognitive bias (that itself takes some cognition), then there would be some steps in CT that could help overcome the bias.
Since CT is too generalized, I think dealing it at the cognitive bias level would be a better option. Thanks for the link. would go through it today
Since you are going to buy it, its better you could have a look at the Google page since the book is comprehensive but I amn't sure at the expert level
Got some good reviews and you are right with your CT.
So coming back to the original discussion, I am thinking of mapping Cognitive Biases(CB) to CT. What's your take on it? Also, is CT popular? When I talk of it, people think I am getting a bit insane:)
