The Backfire Effect Backfires
Yay for continued studies.
But new research has mostly failed to replicate the backfire effect, suggesting that it may not be common, if it happens at all. For instance, Andrew Guess and Alexander Coppock recently published a paper describing three experiments where they tried and failed to elicit a backfire effect, even under conditions that would seem favorable to produce it. In a study of race and peoples’ views on the death penalty, Nyhan and his colleagues also found that backlash effects were small or nonexistent. I talked with Nyhan about this a while back.
Most researchers are bummed if their studies can’t be replicated, but Nyhan was happy. It’s good news, he said, because it suggests that fact-checking really can counteract false beliefs.

Make Your Own Allspice Dram
Allspice dram is a simple liqueur flavored with allspice berries. It’s also known as pimento dram, because allspice is a berry from the pimento tree. (But pimento makes most people think of olives, so I don’t like to call it that.) There’s nothing like it.

async / await
What do think this JS code prints?
const arr = [3, 1, 2]; const wait = (ms) => new Promise(resolve => { setTimeout(resolve, ms); }); arr.forEach(async item => { await wait(item * 100); console.log(item); })How about this?
const arr = [3, 1, 2]; const wait = (ms) => new Promise(resolve => { setTimeout(resolve, ms); }); const mapped = arr.map(async item => { await wait(item * 100); return item * 2; }) console.log(mapped); -

James Mickens on Browsers
In summary, Web browsers are like quantum physics: they offer probabilistic guarantees at best, and anyone who claims to fully understand them is a liar.
This essay is from 2014, but it’s still just as correct.
