The student is under stress due to their struggle with the passage, which the author isn't taking creative liberties to describe as that's how most people will react.

The time constraint wouldn't be an issue if they were comfortable with the passage. You can give them unlimited time and they might provide a sufficient response, or just quit and move along in the study, which also stated in the reading.

And, with all due respect, I think you're probably giving yourself more credit for your ability to perform better than these students than what might be the actual result, but that's not atypical for me online community, whose denizens are a cut above the rest...

This was also noted in the study:

* [...] However, these same subjects (defined in the study as problematic readers) also believed they would have no problem reading the rest of the 900-page novel.

Keep in mind that the students were English majors, so understanding complex classical works might be expected at some point.

Oh,my.

This entire thing is beyond cool. I hope the rest of the process goes smoothly for the teams involved!

When I drive, 99% of the time it's to get someplace, not go for a Sunday cruise.

The better alternative is ongoing driver training beyond initial study.

I didn't realize that you spoke for everyone. Maybe you were taught that info by your instructor, but that doesn't mean everyone followed a similar format.

Don't let your employer know...

I don't know assembly, but my advice would be to take the rote route by rewriting stuff in assembly.

Just like anything else, there's no quick path to the finish line (unless you're exceptionally gifted), so putting in time is always the best action to take.

Not for me, thanks. I've skipped submitting job apps because of the Oracle HRM platform and having to visit my email an enter a six-digit code EACH time I wanted to submit an app, which required re-uploading a resume and re-correcting any parsing errors.

I will 100% skip your website if you rely upon cookies/OTP and don't let users create accounts (if they need one).

Look at how many reviews will just be five-star ones, but no text. Or, one or two words quips, like, "great food!"

Negative reviews might also be emotionally driven, some by one-time events, like a to-go order taking too long because of a large office order that preceded it.

When I was apartment shopping, I saw so many "sketchy" reviews on Google and reporting them does nothing. Many would be from people who only toured the place and NEVER actually lived there, or from people who just moved in. Both are useless, but does Google care? No! Hence, my disdain for Google reviews.

Opening braces should be inline with the expression or definition.

Comments can be above what they're referred to.

Combined, this makes any code snippet look like crap on mobile and almost impossible to follow as a result.

Headhunters are trying to be influencers, they have games, news feeds are full of junk or agenda pushing (lots of anti-WFH pieces because the wealthy owners need to keep their commercial property prices up), etc.

Fun fact: No one is impressed by your "sports" car, but I'll bet 100% don't want hear it and wish the worst upon you.

I know some places are testing sound ticketing, which I cannot wait to see implemented everywhere.

I hope you get over your noise addiction sooner than later. Or, go broke in the process.
