Don't use Harvard as a parallel in your argument with Lambda. It just comes off very silly.

Not too mention that the Harvard student body typically come from parents with a disproportionate amount of wealth relative to the general population. Their parents were alumni/donors or influential in some type of way. Not to mention, they could afford ACT/SAT tutors for their sons/daughters.

So I advise everyone in this thread to to take what you just said with a grain of salt. This was a false equivalency.
Well for context, having lived in SF for 5 years before leaving, yes 80% probably plan to leave, probably 80% do leave, but only after many career years.

It's where I cut my chops because I could get a 6 figure engineering job without a relevant degree. Very few people expect to stay in a city permanently, and remember many of those workers aren't even citizens, so many of them plan to return "home" at some point.

This doesn't mean anything unless the influx is less than the outflux.
It's unfortunate tho, because for example what word do I have for the generalization that we call "profunctor" other than a profunctor. Even the words we use to describe a profunctor are "contravariant and covariant" and these words OUGHT to be more applicable to programmers but are not.

For many programmers, the axioms of what a function are (a calling point to code which is contravariant in a product and covaraint in a single return value), what objects are (a unique closure over functions values with a syntactically supported lookup of named values and a system-provided identity function) are so unvarying in their experience as to be synonymous with the word we use to describe it without needing further quantification. That gets tricky when you want to say, "Ah, but this unique way of thinking about this datatype lets us pretend it's a function and then we need to talk about what it needs and what it provides in more general terms."

Since functional programming is actually all about completely tearing down the world to everything but a series of functions, it's unsurprising it needs different words.

Finding a way to entice users to join in the functional party is really difficult because asking a programmer to do it is roughly akin to asking them to learn to program again. And don't get me wrong, I think you emerge from the other side of it better and more productive in every way, but it's difficult to prove that and more difficult still to convince people of it.

Everything is relative, of course. It's likely that not all public schools have the same enrollment or tax base that yours had. At some point the number of public school shops without this technology will be low enough that an ethical company like Bosch could just give all the poor schools a new table saw. That seems less involved than the lobbying efforts described in TFA.

In my experience apps frequently hard-code their keyboard behavior (Slack, Gimp), and websites hard-code shortcuts (Gmail, Atlassian products) based on detected OS, so even if you set up shortcut overrides like Ctrl-V to paste, some apps will glitch or simply fail in odd ways.
Most early humans cooperated and shared because they spent their entire lives surrounded by the same a few hundred people.

It's the same today. We still cooperate and share with about a few hundred closest people, and for everyone else, we have capitalism. Whenever the two meet, we shock-horror a bit about the callousness of others, and then we go back to treating everyone outside our Dunbar number as an object to extract resources from.

I don't want to suggest that it's biologically inevitable, but that we aren't going to overcome it until we start recognizing the blind spots in our cognition and empathy.
I don't know about institutions, but if you were to choose a niche that was breaking new ground - distributed apps for example - and start contributing to it im sure you could find yourself in a crucible, collaborating with gifted people to make a dent in the universe.
"Equal treatment" is not enough to remove socialization factors.

Kids learn from what their parents do. If a boy's dad is a truck driver, he may prefer playing with trucks, even if given a choice of truck vs. doll. The boy could similarly pick up non-verbal gestures from the dad or mom handling a doll vs. a truck.

Research is often inconclusive or difficult to replicate for these reasons.

Putting forth a theory that gender, on its own, impacts career choices is pretty useless. It probably does, but not in a way that we can adequately quantify. It depends on too many things.

The lack of consistent behavior for Home and End is one of the things that irked me when using Macs back in the late 1990s. Back then, first-party Apple keyboards included Home and End keys so it was fairly inexcusable.

Today, although the situation hasn't improved if you press Home or End, at least first-party Apple keyboards are essentially always laptop keyboards (even when sold for use on desktop computers). So you don't even have a Home or End key to press. I suppose that's an improvement.

This is an interesting article, but it positions the Microsoft project as the first effort in this area when in fact there is significant amateur and professional research covering the same ground (same air?). NASA has been looking into this for at least a decade [1].

Having made the analogous switch from Java to Scala, I think it's the good devs that benefit the most. Functional languages give you more scope for factoring out commonality, avoiding repetition, reusing existing library functionality - exactly the things that make good devs better than bad devs.
Nobody looks at my repos. The closest I've gotten was recruiters finding me through keyword searches of github.
The repo that helped me learn to developer is JSLint. This influenced my thinking on code organization more than all other facets combined. Please note though that JSLint has changed directions on a couple things since I started learning programming in 2008.

Surely this is the reciprocal of the square root, not the inverse?
"Note: I find it interesting/disturbing/sad/telling that I've been sitting here for a long time contemplating if I should even submit this message since I use my real name here. The fact that we, as a society, have come to a point where we are afraid to even have this discussion really makes me sad. I respect every one of my colleagues deeply, male and female alike. The idea that someone could twist my words and paint me as a misogynist is beyond troubling."

The difficulty is that "this discussion" can be - and usually is - conducted in a way that is harmful to women, either on a broad scale (specious arguments / failure to understand systemic bias) or an individual scale (wrecking someone's day / making a formerly welcoming environment feel hostile).

Those real consequences are on the line every time someone hits "Post" in this sort of discussion, and are a really good reason for any thoughtful person to pause and contemplate before doing so... perhaps do some additional self-education, or take the time to pose genuinely explorative-questions rather than rhetorical-questions or flat-out conclusions. If more people did that, I think you'd eventually see a lot less fiery refutation and much better discourse.

"If the numbers are true and the gender distribution in STEM graduates is 80/20, and you are intent on increasing your number of female employees, you have two choices. You either lower the bar on the 20% or you raise the bar on the 80%. In the end, the net effect is the same. The employees from the 20% group had a granted advantage against the 80% group."

This logic assumes that the 80% and 20% are functionally equivalent? (Which can be so if there's, eg, no systemic bias, but seems rather less likely when such is present.)

Another option would be to realize the the 20% already had to overcome substantial hurdles to get where they are, and to factor that into your decision-making.

It doesn't work, but you should register anyway and report all instances. The people who maintain that list and abuses of it need to know how badly it is ignored. They need data on how big the problem really is. If they get only a few reports of it not working, well that is statistical noise and can be ignored. If everyone on the list constantly reports unwanted calls that is data that it isn't working and a sign they need to do something about it.

One obvious thing they can do about it is pressure the phone companies to stop allowing caller id spoofing. It isn't hard, if the number is from North America, then the phone companies verify it (if it is from a cell phone overseas they have verified the phone and should have verified the owner of the phone), otherwise it is fraud.

Caller id spoofing exists so companies with a private switch can have a bunch of different phones have the same number- but the phone company knows what numbers the company is allowed to use so the rest can be filtered.

Mind you the above will take a few years to implement. However nobody is working on it because if even one party that needs to do work doesn't the whole thing falls apart.

I use Mr. Number on my Android phone. If the calling phone number is marked as Spam in it's database, it'll display that as the call is ringing. It can also be configured to "block" Spam calls, but that means ring once and send it voicemail. Apparently Android's permission model doesn't allow non-root apps to simply hang up on calls.
I think this is so important and less reflective of either Shkreli or the legal system, rather it shines a bright light on how many people are struggling to afford both adequate healthcare/drug coverage and simple can't afford their own prescriptions and as a result do not/can not take them.

It is a damn shame. It is also a damn shame people in this country have to be in court/under oath (potential jury members are during the selection process) to admit to these financial shortcomings, because such admissions of financial difficulty are social stigmas that almost anyone would try to avoid admitting (it's the same with millions who were in foreclosure during the Great Recession who would never admit it).

Sorry for the late response. I haven't gone to the links yet but the quotes in italics give me pause. They seem to be at pains to state things in a way which looks like it means one thing but may mean another. The second sentence is a nice start to an investigation but is not evidence really, just a temporal association. The third sentence is about poverty, not integration.

The fact that the gap is larger in segregated districts is difficult to interpret without knowing if the comparison is to the population as a whole (i.e. blacks in the district to whites as a whole) or within the district (i.e. blacks in the district to whites in the district). I'd also want to know if how those districts compared to other districts. Were these high achieving schools? Low achieving? Somewhere in the middle?

Didn't actually know how to use git when I landed my first FT dev job. Had no Github Account, no portfolio site.

Been coding since I was 12 though, had a good grasp of HTML/CSS, jQuery (but not really of javascript), VBScript, C#, SQL. All stuff I picked up either while making plugins/themes for a BBS I operated, or writing scripts for bots for MMORPGs. My code quality sucked, but I made stuff that people (other BBS operators or bot users) kinda liked and got hooked on the accolades. Sadly that was all in middle school and I didn't know enough to keep backups.

A few weeks after exams ended, and a few months before I would graduate with my Bachelor of Commerce degree (Finance Specialist), I went to my first interview for a developer position at my University. After talking with the manager/team-lead, I was handed a page of 12 questions ranging from logic, sorting, jQuery and databases, and given 30 minutes to complete them. I aced most of it (hiccuped on the sorting). Got the job. Made this: http://m.map.utoronto.ca (just the mobile version, which was a ground-up rewrite SPA)

I'm aware of big spreadsheets, but from what I've seen, it tends to be complex and very ad-hoc calculations that (I imagine) don't lend themselves very well to GPUs.

Making very complex tasks run well on a GPU is hard, whereas CPUs are great for dealing with that stuff.

If you have something like a 100,000 row spreadsheet where every row is doing exactly the same calculation on different input data, sure, that starts to make sense. If people are really doing that in Excel, I'm surprised! (but maybe I shouldn't be)
So does the fact that so many people know about and despise Shkreli mean that the jury selection process will select for people who are less informed or don't reflect the values of the general population (Or just people who are willing to lie about their ability to be impartial)? Is there a term for this, or how is this accounted for in the process?
You could do better than a reference that lies about the contents of its citations. For example, there is no evidence that "over 50% of American adults over the age of 16 were functionally illiterate." The actual number is 14%, if I'm taking the cited source's statistic of "below basic prose literacy" as the definition of "functionally illiterate."

Actually, upon reading the whole article, this feels a lot more like the same millennium-old whining "kids aren't appreciating the same classics I did and therefore they're stupid idiots." Kids these days read and write a lot--text messaging, twitter, facebook, social media.

If you want to convince someone that it really is the case that people are getting dumber, you need to find references that don't read like the same age-old complaints: you need to show that it's dumber on an objective measure of intelligence, not "they don't show appreciation for the classics," which is what you usually find instead.
I'm noticing similar sentiments among friends in New York City. Everyone came here for jobs/culture/friends after graduating, but the mad-rush of millennials is making the city more and more unlivable. Nobody wants to spend their thirties in a cramped, overpriced studio, but nobody is ready to leave their hip, startup lofts for the drudgery of a Westchester office complex (let alone endure an hour commute into the city every day).

Smaller cities (the Portlands, New Havens, and Columbuses of the country) will continue to inherit the overflow, with those cities that have the lowest cultural cachet taking the lowliest remnants. Given the demand for urban environments by businesses and consumers, it seems like the only thing holding back any city from heavy growth is incompetence or negative reputations.

Disclaimer: I'm a huge fan of Shkreli. Great guy, excellent financial instincts, pharma wizard etc.

I'm surprised he didn't get assassinated for some of that stuff with Wu-Tang, especially in NY. I know I've been waiting a new full-featured Wu-tang album for a LOOOONG time, and I know a lot of new yorkers were too. Multiply that anger by several million people and media deception, it shocks me that he's still around.

The lesson I've learned about all this is the value in nobody knowing your name. Shkreli was fucked over HARD by the media, he's really just a cool guy playing the game, and they spin him as this terrible evil mastermind.

He used to stream all the time, you couldn't watch him for more than five minutes before falling in love with him. He's a man of the people in the truest sense. More than anyone I've ever met.

I hope he finds a way through all this.

Which ignored the part immediately before that citing an 8 point rise in quantitative literacy between '92 and '03.

Also blatantly ignored the following sentence showing +6 for prose and +8 for document literacy for POC. And the one about Asian/Pacific Islanders getting +16 from '92 to '03.

It is a shoddy piece of work picking only those points that bolster their existing conclusion.
