Looks like it's this same survey[1], which was already reported a while ago in the NYTimes[2], and when you actually look at it, contains this phrase, which adds a little more perspective:

> 39% of responding institutions reported a decline in international applications, 35% reported an increase, and 26% reported no change in applicant numbers.

Note that it also says the "final" report will be released March 30, so expect to see this story reported again after that.

I kind of jumbled the two things together in that comment, but WS itself is basically a stateful UDP over HTTP, so i'll compare it to that. (TCP has too many features to be compared to WS)

Comparing it to stateful UDP over DNS is a totally fair thing because in practice that is how you use it. You steal the ports of a completely different application to send data for your own different application, and do the hokey-pokey of one protocol before you then encode a payload in a completely different protocol before sending and after receiving it, and the application protocols it abuses to tunnel its data aren't even of the same state or connection mode.

Saying WS is "just framed data over regular TCP" is like saying stateful UDP over DNS is "just framed data over regular UDP". The only difference is that DNS has message reply limits. If you could keep sending one long DNS response payload, WS would be virtually identical to stateful UDP over DNS (when using tcp for the DNS).

And yeah you're right, this app is not encapsulating TCP packets, but it tunnels applications which use TCP. A lot of tunnels do this, although I don't think they advertise themselves as "tunneling TCP through X".

What the Rio Olympic Venues Look Like Now (7 Mo Later)
I'm more and more convinced that being a cog in some corporate machine is coming to an end. We've collectively refined corporate processes to the point that it no longer requires human ingenuity or creativity. This has all happened under the guise of making things more efficient so that a stock ticker will be less volatile and will consistently move up and to the right. The candidate tracking software that this article parodies is one example of such an automated and "efficient" system. One gets the sense that the recruiters are almost secondary. Soon a "dog" will really be able to screen candidates for a job.

I don't think I'm saying anything new here. The mechanization of such work has been happening for a while now and the smart move is to start planning for that inevitability. Anything that requires basic pattern matching and procedures is pretty much gone. My retirement account I think is currently managed by a "robo advisor". Hiring humans to do such mechanical tasks will start getting more and more expensive relative to tweaking some parameters in some neural network coupled maybe with some domain specific policy/optimization framework.

Personally I don't think this is such a bad state of affairs. Why should societal optimization tasks be handled with heroic human effort when we can just do it with math?

> employers benefit because they have a wider pool of talent to choose from

The OP was arguing that women have a lower expected work output over their career at a company, which is why "economically rational" was used.

So the employers would technically be better off hiring a male over a female with the same skills.
A good concrete example of this principle is integrating women into all combat rolls. In the short-term I imagine this absolutely will distablize the culture and probably hurt moral in certain quarters. In the long term, I hope the culture(s) will change and moral will recover.
Plenty of people want to make their own choices, but corporate culture imposes choices on them.

That does indeed make parents incapable of making family decisions.

Your mistake is in assuming that the legislation targets individuals.

It doesn't. It targets corporations that take advantage of individuals.

maybe my target was wrong, but I wrote a nice/short introduction to about 200 recruiters on linkedin, only 3 replied... if recruiters, who should be looking out for candidates, reply so lowly, how many people do you have to contact? by the way, the 3 recruiters replied to me but they never again contacted me back...
This is also why I decided to use Keith Bostic's nvi [0], also known as vi from BSD. I got so tired of endless configuring and bikeshedding my own editor instead of getting work done.

Since I switched to nvi I've learned way more about the powerful features of the base editor as well as shell tools like grep, fzf, fmt, column, wc, expand, pdftotext, pandoc, make, git... With tmux I have easy access to any REPLs and man pages I need. The main feature of nvi I need over the original vi is unlimited undo, though ex command history and file name completion are nice as well.

Part of the inspiration for me to switch from vim (and spacemacs) down to nvi was this post on stack overflow [1]. When I really grokked the power of this system I picked up O'Reilly's book on vi and vim [2] and read every page of the vi and ex stuff. There is soooooo much you can do with this editor that doesn't require plugins yet people reinvent them, often in a less powerful/flexible way.

Since learning to be productive in nvi, it's going to be very hard to go back to those bigger, more extensible editors. The temptation for bikeshedding is too great... Oh, and learning to read code with syntax highlighting turned off is really nice. It helps you write more clearly since you aren't relying on the highlighting to help the reader.

I think it's a sign that universities are failing to be trusted as credentialing institutions. You should be able to verify a degree and conclude from that the person learned the material.

I guess this is why the professional engineering exams exist.

> How much could you actually transform with a high degree of certainty that you don't break the application?

Compilers routinely "modify" the programs given to them via optimization passes and the like. This is normal. By having access to bitcode, you're essentially given a second chance at compiling an application. Forget to turn on control flow integrity? Want to optimize out a useless API call? You can fix that.

We even do it far more aggressively by lifting binaries back to LLVM bitcode with mcsema, then outputting significantly modified binaries with new functionality. See https://github.com/trailofbits/mcsema for more info. There is breakage when we do this because we can't be sure of the correct control flow through the application, but you won't have this problem if you're not lifting back from a binary.

You're also only focusing on the modification part. Don't forget that bitcode provides a far more suitable target for analysis than binary code.

I think some people will find this to be the case, but others (me) are really happy using a distribution. I struggled for a while trying to get vanilla Emacs to the point where it felt natural and didn't bother me, but ultimately wasn't able to. I've been using Spacemacs now for over half a year with only a handful of customizations, and I've been very happy with it.
What's lacking is a requirement that Apple Store apps must cooperate with user privacy settings. If the user denies an app access to location services, contacts, or calendars, Apple should require that the app still run. For example, if the user denies the Uber app location information when the app is not being used, Uber car ordering should still work. Apps should not be allowed to demand access they do not need to serve the user.

I always assume this is just an excuse - they don't give you a reason because there is no reason for them to give you a reason. If there was some benefit for them to giving you a reason they would not fear the lawsuits. Maybe some people from Europe can talk about whether companies give them reasons, I suspect even in Europe companies don't tell applicants why they didn't hire them.
You can .NET Native on your own machine for testing but the package uploaded to the store contains MSIL. The final .NET Native version is then compiled in the cloud.

https://blogs.windows.com/buildingapps/2015/08/20/net-native...

One great feature of .NET Native is that the compiler is capable of being hosted in the cloud. When you build your Store package in Visual Studio, two packages are created – one .appxupload and one “test” .appx for sideloading. The .appxupload contains the MSIL binaries as well as an explicit reference to the version of the .NET Native toolchain your app consumes (referenced in the AppxManifest.xml). This package then goes to the Store and is compiled using the exact same version of the .NET Native toolchain. Since the compiler is cloud hosted, it can be iterated to fix bugs without you having to recompile your app locally.

Honestly? Interview. A lot. I spent a couple of years interviewing in order to get better at interviewing (and always have my ear to the rail for better opportunities) and one of the side effects is that I met a lot of cool people doing interesting things. These people are absolutely a part of my network now, and I've referred at least one person to a job they got. It's a lot of work, but starting from zero, it is an excellent way to build a network, get good at interviewing, and most importantly, find a job you like that pays well.
That is incredibly frustrating and unprofessional. You have GOT to get in touch with the recruiter/point of contact. Sometimes recruiters leave, or there is a bug in the system and you get dropped, whatever. Just try contacting them to know for sure what happened.

>> Because health insurance is so expensive, the costs can be non-trivial and not hiring older workers can be economically rational

That is not rational- it's selfish and greedy. It's also very short-termist, because everyone grows old eventually (or at least hopes to). If we all don't hire older people, we'll all be without a job further down the line.

Failing to establish the conditions that will allow older people to be employed is not being rational. It's being completely incapable of thinking more than a few years into your own future.

Honestly- when did "rationality" become synonymous with "tunnel vision"?
My change is reflected in my use of "Last Updated 3/25/2017" and in my commit message. Thank you for ensuring transparency.

You can do the math here, https://abtestguide.com/calc/, and in any case it is at least very close to "statistical significance", depending on how you define it, that lower class men got fewer callbacks than lower class women.

But the point is that lower class men DID receive a lot fewer callbacks than higher class men, so clearly it is a mistake to attribute "male privilege" equally to both groups.
I would be very interested to know what the overall change is as a whole.
I completely agree. It's fairly simple to isolate and sandbox individual compiler processes in the cloud and fully mitigate this risk. You can be sure that whatever processes the bitcode on Apple's servers is only supposed to touch a very limited number of files, syscalls, etc. If any cloud instance deviates from that norm, it should be trivial to detect that deviation.

So, yes, I would probably try and submit malformed bitcode to Apple if I wanted to be a jerk... but I think Apple has probably thought of this too given how incredibly obvious it is.
I still wonder what the real agenda behind bitcode might be.

It's hard to imagine it's only to make binary size a tiny bit smaller: it would surely have been easier and faster to have Xcode just categorize each application's assets and binaries by screen size and architecture, eg by pushing a ZIP (or whatever) file of separate binaries. This is assuming otool or a similar utility can't extract individual architectures out of a fat binary, which I imagine you can probably cleanly do as well.

The app control thing does have me worried, those concerns are undeniable.

I agree with this sentiment. Spacemacs is great, and if Spacevim is anything like it, it will be a great way to get a pretty full featured Vim editor.

However I've recently started from scratch with Vim 8.0 so that I could try out the new packaging features that are built in. I also wanted to be able to use the same configuration across Windows and Linux, which I'd found difficult with some package managers.

I've been pretty happy with the result so far. There are still some things that don't work correctly on Windows (shell incompatibilities in plugins mostly), but for the most part it's my IDE now.

One thing I will say for distributions is that it is a great source of new plugins that I haven't heard of or considered before.

If I'm reading correctly, there wasn't a p-value for the upper middle class men vs women either
Something I've learned from being a consultant is that there are an infinite number of possible build system configurations for real applications. Apple gets the best of all worlds by asking for bitcode since it abstracts any unique requirements on the developer end but provides them with something of nearly identical utility as source code.
Really what does this have to do with APL ( Ken Iverson )??

*

This is NOT APL.

Futhark is a functional language, we will start with the obligatory factorial program:

fun fact (n: i32): i32 = reduce () 1 (map (1+) (iota n))

This has nothing to do with APL.

Perhaps a more apt title would be "Python for the GPU".j

There is a paper on this subject, where an APL interpreter is written in FUTARK, but then most compilers are written in C. In reality the technology in question is Futark on GPU.

Just to be clear here, you're directing us towards your comment history as evidence of unjust persecution by "non-intellectual" opponents. What a shocking coincidence the people who disagree with you are non-intellectual.

Did you ever perhaps consider that you are the one being non-intellectual? I see this tactic all the time on the right, people claiming they only want a "frank, honest discussion", but it seems words like "frank" "honest discussion" are so often code words for "a discussion where I can say anything I please no matter how nasty or offensive or how little I understand the issue, without any evidence, argument, or support, and nobody calls me out on it".

On slavery, I don't really know that anyone cares if it's economically beneficial, because it's morally disgusting -- its economic benefits are moot and pointless to discuss, since it's simply not an option for a civilized society. So by arguing in support of its benefits you are trying to lend credence to the idea that it should be instituted, which is why all the hate.

Or so the argument goes. I think the problem here is not with presenting a defense of its economic benefits, it's with the central neoliberal fallacy rather that suggests "good economically" == "good", or even suggests "good economically" is a thing that can exist and be defined without considering perspectives, e.g. "good economically for the owning class" whereas I'd argue the entire notion is nebulous and murky and undefinable, and even if it were not, wholly irrelevant to the issue since it's a moral one not an economic one.
There is really no such thing as an HTTP connection. There are request-response transactions, and these can happen without needing to break down the stateful connection they're transmitted over.

Ahem: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTTP_tunnel#HTTP_CONNECT_tunne...

In this mechanism, the client asks an HTTP Proxy server to forward the TCP
connection to the desired destination. The server then proceeds to make
the connection on behalf of the client. Once the connection has been established
by the server, the Proxy server continues to proxy the TCP stream to and from the
client. Note that only the initial connection request is HTTP - after that,
the server simply proxies the established TCP connection.

Both HTTP CONNECT and WS are designed to work over http proxies, both are designed to tunnel arbitrary application data, both use http to initiate a connection, both use http application ports for these connections, and neither of them return to http request-responses once they're set up.

But somehow, WS is a separate protocol and stops being http, while HTTP CONNECT is just an HTTP extension and becomes some other application proxied over http.

I guess WS is just special.

men benefit because their female relatives don't depend on them

This is true in a strictly material sense but it may not be true from a social/cultural/identity perspective. Traditional masculine identity at its very core is about being the root of the tree: the one your family depends on. Today, fewer and fewer men are in that situation. There are countless articles out there about men's withdrawal from the workforce. More and more women are getting college degrees and the gap over men is growing. Women with a college degree rarely date, let alone marry, men without a degree.

I'll be the first to say I don't automatically want life to go back to the way it was in the 50's. I just can't claim that everybody benefits equally from the new world order. Honestly, I don't know what we as a society ought to do about men who have checked out because they feel that life has left them behind.
