1. That's fine, most ppl don't need the answer now, they need it soon enough to not be blocked.

2. Any answer without context is useless, even verbally. So include the question with the answer when you write the doc.

"Little to no information on the internet" I suspect that if one were sufficiently motivated to do offline research, you could probably find at least some information.

If you are going continue to use race as part of the equation they why bother with tests? Its really apparent in medical schools where your MCAT score has to be significantly higher; near perfect; to obtain the same rate of admissions as a minority student with the much lower scores.

This cheats both parties in any college admission as the best and brightest may not be able to meet on even ground and you slight those who are pulled up by placing in a situation where they will likely end up dead last in achievement because fellow students just do so much better. That last alone cannot be easily discounted simply for the psychological effects of placing low

"We had a rockstar team with backgrounds from top tier companies and engineering schools, but no aqui-hire materialized out of thin air like I thought it might. We built kick-ass technology, but nobody was interested."

If nobody was interested, your tech was shit. As simple as that. You have a self delusion.

Harvard also denied discriminating against Jewish applicants before the 70s. Yet Wikipedia says they were one of the worst offenders.

I hate how the article phrases helping underrepresented minorities as hurting Asian Americans. The two things are not related. Universities will discriminate against us even without affirmative action. The Ivy Leagues invented "legacy" and "manliness" as admissions criteria. They will create new forms of discrimination. History repeats. Stop using us as an excuse. Stop driving a wedge between minorities.

What he is saying is that highways encourage people to build everything more spread out, including residences, offices, and stores. He’s not claiming this is problem for the stores per se, or that it inherently changes the relationship between people and stores.

The problem is the increased money and land spent on transportation, the increased pollution, the unfriendliness of the system for pedestrians / anyone who can’t drive, and the inability to build mass transit to cover the same areas.

The article is comparing median income (of all residents) to prices that home-owners pay which is pretty much apples to oranges.

Fewer people are buying houses in the Bay Area right now already which causes the disparity in the house-price-to-income ratio: Most folks who can afford a house worth 1M (and prove it to a lender) are probably earning dual-income in the tech sector and 330K (which would make the ratio 3x, same as the national average) is not too much of a stretch between two technology jobs.
Cars and houses and food are physical goods (and in at least two of your examples, fungible and/or life-sustaining) with distribution costs, intrinsic value, and scarcity.

Gabe's spot on the money for my use case. I used to pirate games relentlessly, all the way back to Amiga 500 days. Then Steam came along, got relatively stable, and I've not pirated a game since.

It's actually harder to get a pirated game now than one off Steam - you have to find a torrent or download location, find patches (if there are any), scour comments to see if there's any hint of malice in the download, and if it's not a popular game (or an old one), your torrent might take a long time. There are some limitations with Steam (including "what if it goes away?"), but the overall experience is much more frictionless.
SF does not have an income tax. It does have a 1.5% payroll tax that is paid by employers, but that is already factored into your your gross pay (IOW, if a company offers you 90k the pay the $1,350 in taxes and you never deal with it).

You can argue it effectively pushes down the size of the offers people get, but you don't have to worry about it when you calculate your net take home.

However, if that happened it would be unprecedented. Seriously so. During the foreclosure crisis, which was itself unprecedented, house prices fell in a significant way for the first time, they also recovered faster than any other part of the country.

A possibly more realistic scenario is a magnitude 9 quake along the Hayward fault. Something that would destroy (not merely damage) a significant chunk of infrastructure resulting in the dissolution of hundreds, if not thousands of businesses and the concomitant unemployment that would ensue.

However even in that case the amount of resources available to restart are really unprecedented relative to the rest of the country.
There are two major forms of sum type implementations that I'm aware of: tagged and untagged. What you're describing is a tagged union, for exactly the reason you state: there's an extra field for a discriminant which lets you choose the tag. Untagged unions are C's unions, where there's no discriminant, and you just have to know which type is valid at a given time.

Rust supports tagged unions, but can also optimize them to untagged in certain circumstances. We will probably add some kind of untagged union as well, mostly for FFI, but they're very unsafe, for the above reasons.
I agree. I don't really care for Munchkin, but it seems like it's the main thing that works for them now.

Sure, because of the plugin support it shouldn't get too complicated.

You can use strings instead of urls, for files.
So you could do something like:

loadFromS3(function (fileContent) {
j = new Jotted($container, {
files: [ type: 'css', content: fileContent ]
})
})

then create a plugin for it that saves the changes back to s3:

j.done('change', function (err, params) {
saveToS3(params.content)
})

Here's some details about the plugin api:

Happy birthday jQuery!

It is currently my 3rd most endorsed linkedin skill after 'dressing himself' and 'marking recruiters as spam'. My friends suck.
The success of jQuery, React, Angular, etc. makes it mostly unnecessary. There is no need to avoid JavaScript wrappers to the DOM API, and lots of good reasons to have them. External libs are more flexible and fixable than web platform APIs. Very few people need to write directly to the DOM API nowadays and the ones who do don't need more abstractions or a bunch of renamings. Those things generally just complicate the code in frameworks and libraries because they create multiple code paths for years.
The problem is that many applicants don't realize that. During graduate school, I was active in recruitment in the sciences and I have often spoken with high-achieving but low-income high school students and undergraduates, and many of them have false ideas about financial aid for undergraduate and graduate education.
> no matter where you work, as a professional you'll spend 50+ hours a week working

This is false. There are plenty of companies that respect the 40 hour work week (and many where you can get away with less).
Interesting idea. The data plate on the order station says it was made by "Vitarama". Vitarama was the company behind Cinerama. Owned by the Rockefellers, it developed a range of unusual projection devices - projectors for spherical screens and elliptical screens, gunnery training simulators, and a range of slide changers. Fred Waller, who invented Cinerama and worked for Vitarama, was probably involved. He had a patent for an addressable slide projector.[1] The shopping system used a linear tray rather than the circular tray shown in the Life article, but the selection by number is similar.

The idea wasn't silly. At the time, Sears and some other companies had catalog order centers, where customers could go and shop from catalogs. This was an improvement on that concept.

The problem may have been the user interface. It looks like you'd ask the attendant to load up a slide tray for the product area of interest, and then you could use a knob to select slides. Each slide contained only one image. This makes for a small catalog.

They could have used a microfiche system and had a much larger catalog. But how to address it in a user-friendly way? That's a hard problem. If you've ever used microfilm data, you're aware of how hard it is to find anything. Their UI had two buttons and a knob, probably the upper limit for shopping UI complexity in the 1950s.
Some later microfilm systems had bar codes and some the ability to search, but that was a late 1960s development and required electronics.

I am not asking about specific details. I am just curious in what areas a small company/single person can make money on that scale.
While true, I have also noticed that a Netflix exclusive show (I think Making a Murderer) is going to soon become unavailable to watch on Netflix in US. Now, it could be an unrelated issue there... i.e. the show was banned or some-such, but I couldn't find anything like that mentioned anywhere. That sort of makes me confused as to how it is an exclusive to Netflix in the first place.
I pay for 3 streaming services and do so because I want to pay for content. If a company that uses the internet to advertise to a broad and international audience then makes it so I can't give them money for their content, then they never considered me as an income source and haven't lost a thing. I however have lost the ability to participate in the discussion about that item of pop culture.

I still use jQuery very heavily in projects not already built on frameworks. It's way easier for me to add a new module or function to a monolith like that by writing a little jQuery than trying to overhaul the whole project to use Angular/Ember/React/Vue/Mithril/whatever.

Yet another terminology issue: do you mean tagged vs untagged? IE, there's an extra field for the discriminant. Or rather, Pony does _not_ have a discriminant, but Haskell/ML do?

The politically charged data holds the potential to reveal whether Harvard bypasses better-qualified Asian-American candidates in favor of whites, blacks and Hispanics, and the children of the wealthy and powerful, the group argues.

The problem is that "better-qualified" is not some absolute measure. I don't think any Ivy League-tier school would say that a formula of SAT+GPA is sufficient. There are several factors that aren't easily measured. For example:

1. Difficulty of high school course load.

2. Extra academic work. For example, if you've solved P=NP while having a 2.0 GPA -- would anyone care about your GPA?

3. Performance in academic-RELATED activities. If you win the IMO or the spelling bee or the Intel Science competition, etc...

4. Performance in non-academic activities. If you have a platinum album, does that matter? Or being a famous actor? Or creating a game changing app? Or becoming a top rated Go player?

4. Performance in athletics. Would being a Lebron James level talent matter? Winning an Olympic gold in gymnastics?

5. Having highly regarded morals, conviction, and courage. Would Malala get special treatment?

6. Socio-economics. All other things being equal, do we favor a student who has had no advantages over those who have had every economic advantage (best schools, tutors, etc..)?

7. Diversity of life experience (especially if exceptional). Would the child of a President have an advantage getting in? What about the experience of anyone that is fundamentally against the norm of most of the population of the incoming class. Maybe they navigated combat missions for the South Korean Navy.

I do think systemically excluding a certain race is a problem. But I don't think using an old notion of merit is much better.
Fewer jobs, lower pay
There's a lot of nifty front-end JS frameworks these days, or popular front-end and back-end JS implementations, so I can see how it's easy to miss what made/makes jQuery great.

I think that it's hard to truly appreciate jQuery unless you were actually attempting to write code for web applications that dealt with a lot of JavaScript at the time. 2005 and 2006 was a nightmare for writing front-end behavior on web-based applications.

This wasn't because JS was particularly awful to write code in. Internet Explorer, the king of browsers at the time, routinely exhibited totally unexpected behavior with little to no tools to discover how to fix things. While this may sound like a personal attack against Internet Explorer, it's the truth of the matter. Other browsers had quirks, but none were as important as the quirks discovered in the most popular browser at the time.

The things that you wanted to start doing to make your app "Web 2.0" like transitions, CSS animations, AJAX behavior, big DOM manipulations, and so on, were totally possible with JS. You just had to write a lot of it and pray to whoever you wanted when you went to test it in IE.

One of the big catalysts for getting something better than vanilla JS to play with wasn't just to make writing the code more pleasurable, it was to make it easier to GSD. Two camps came out in this regard. You had folks who were abstracting away the JS a lot more, creating more of their own syntax and language for everything; a framework built in JS. Then there were folks like jQuery who were creating what a lot of people considered a library, in that it felt like you were utilizing a lot of the same vanilla JS you knew and loved, but with some wrappers and helpers.

I mean, AJAX was a big and cool "aha" moment when you first saw it and played with it. But the first time you got to do things like:

* Identify an element without verbosity like document.getElementById()

* Attach an onclick to elements reliably and in a cross-browser safe way

* Change the color, replace some text, and fade in or shake or whatever was cool at the time in a single line of code that worked everywhere

... things like these were also very, very cool.

And because jQuery was well-documented, and didn't change the language and feeling of using a lot of JavaScript too tremendously, it was, and continues to be, an invaluable tool in so many belts. There are tons of good libraries built on top of jQuery that continue to evolve with standards and trends.

Overall it's stood the test of time well, and has saved countless hours of development time; two important qualities in great software.

Availability beats quality. Given the choice between not watching anything because it's not in your Netflix region, and streaming/torrenting, most people would choose the latter.
You automate it. At 50 hosts some automation like puppet or ansible, etc is worth the trouble, especially if it helps you make sure that all hosts have the correct keys on them - that's just basic security - make sure there are no keys that shouldn't be there.

What do you do now if someone leaves? Remove that person's key from all 50 hosts one at a time?

Or, at the very least, you use tmux with sync panes or csshx - and log into all 50 hosts at once, and then you can issue one rm / scp command if you are still doing things manually.
> External libs are more flexible and fixable than web platform APIs.

This isn't true. If you're only talking about jQuery then fine, it has a performance hit to its usage but it's not that big of a deal. But React, Angular and some of the frameworks out there? They abstract a lot more away from the DOM and can cause some serious performance issues (even if you're not careless they all incur a performance hit which can be noticeable in mobile web browsers if you're not careful).

Many have had to rewrite portions (or entire) web applications when they hit certain scale and use far more native DOM APIs than before just to get the necessary performance. Atom is one example but there are plenty more.

So no improvements to the DOM API are not unnecessary; in fact I think they are a bit necessary. You wouldn't have nearly as many people abstracting away from it if it were far more approachable and there is nothing wrong with making it easier to use.
