You can assume a roughly 10-100x slowdown on pretty much everything. It also does not feature type safety, so while it is easier to code in it it is also easier to make mistakes. Other than that... Just a simple scripting language

This is such a shit argument.

US has comparable passenger railway service to Australia or worse while having metropolies with roughly the population of that entire country

Context required. I would've understood the question in exactly the same way

Umm.. have you tried having a positive identity instead of negative? I believe it would do a lot for us if lemmy was percieved as a 'community of smart people with interesting discussions' instead of 'not reddit'

I believe you see the main issue with your experiences - the sample size. With small enough sample you can experience almost anything. Wisdom is knowing what you can and what you cant extrapolate to the entire population

This is the most unnecessary nerd comment I'll ever make on this platform.. but

I believe the bell curve wouldn't represent the expected distribution in this case. I m not entirely sure what would be the correct distribution but I suspect Chi^2 or poisson.

This is not a good quality article from the point of statistics.

The main statistical claim is that OE fails 9% of the times on USMLE. If you want to form a reasonable conclusion from that you need to compare it to control. The control here would be the fail rate of an average doctor. Or to be frank maybe better control would be the fail rate of a bad doctor because if OE beats that then there is an arguement to be made that there are people who OE could help.

Passing grade os USMLE Clinical Knowledge exam is 214/300 and mean score is 246. Idk the specific scoring but if it is scored the usual way then I believe this article is overly dramatic

When being taught that no is supposed to mean no I dont believe there is any other appropriate reaction to being given the divorce papers
