I used to be a big proponent of using LaTeX for scientific documents. I even wrote a botanical flora using LuaLaTeX. Being able to drop down into Lua was wonderful for formatting scientific names correctly (something that may seem simple, but is not). I don't use it as much anymore for two reasons.

1. It's fragile. Documents I wrote in 2010 no long "build" with the latest TeXLive release, and fixing and debugging my documents has been a huge time sink. With something like a flora or plant list, that needs to be updated periodically with new information, getting sidetracked by breakage can be very frustrating.

2. I've found it's a lot quicker and simpler for me to write in MS Word and then (if needed) import into Adobe InDesign to style my writing. This combination also seems to work better with the citation software I prefer (Papers).

Inferno was positioned back then as some kind of a ressearch thing not suited for production.

Preact pros was:

- very small size (it's near 5kb Non-Gzipped without compatibility layer), perfect for lightweb mobile apps (Inferno was like 60kb, React 250kb)

- has less gimmicks for porting from React and an optional compatibility layer to enable some of low-level React libs and components

Preact has no synthetic event system wrapping, if you heavily relly on it then things could be rough.

Yes, it's the combination of features that's problematic. They don't compose well. I'd also say implicits are probably responsible for many developers rejecting Scala outright. They're an abomination as far as maintainability and IDE integration are concerned.
>> I'm not sure why everyone is for tolerating the intolerant.

> If you accept intolerance towards intolerance then why bother caring about tolerance in the first place.

I see a lot of my engineer friends struggling with this. Being logical & binary, they think as tolerant people, they need to tolerate intolerance. A lot of their arguments are for defending intolerant people like if bakery doesn't want to serve gay customers, then so be it. Some even go as far as to say that if laundromat doesn't want Black customers, then so be it.

I always point out tolerance is more than a simple word or definition; it is a philosophy and political idea. You tolerate your annoying in-laws; you stand up against discrimination because you believe in a tolerant society.

The real world is not binary nor logical. You have to fight evil in whatever way you can. Intolerance is evil. Turning blind-eye to it or hiding behind logic is essentially accepting intolerance.

It is also potentially due to Google owing their private fiber backbone that connects all regions and as well as their software Defined Network that allow high bandwidth and low latency routing of packets across regions.
What you're experiencing is different. The WiFi still has internet access, your signals aren't reaching the AP. The phone has no way of remedying this without switching to LTE very aggressively. I'd assume that would cause unnecessary battery drain and unneeded switches for many people.

That said, I haven't needed to restart the uber app to fix this. I just disable WiFi from the notification toggle and the app connects in about a second after that.

A couple of years ago, I took my family on a road trip starting from Phoenix and ended up in SF. We drove north from Phoenix and hit a few of the amazing parks including Yellowstone and then west to Portland and then south to SF. And public radio was part of the fun for us. Aside from our beloved NPR, I loved how the only stations we could get gave us an insight on who probably lived in the areas we were driving through. I never really liked country music, but on that trip, I grew to actually appreciate it. Not to mention the number of new songs and artists we were able to discover. Some of those songs we now associate with the various places along the way.
There is some level of opt-out, but it doesn't work reliably, and your app might still get killed.

Even the K9 team had issues with that, and many other open apps did so, too. I've been trying to work some kind of push messaging into the IRC bouncer for which I wrote an Android client, but the issues with legality (I can't just connect to a third party without explicit opt in), API keys (people who host an IRC bouncer don't want to register with Google), liability (I don't want to relay all messages through a server of my own), Google's ToS (I can't just publish an API key for everyone to use), confidentiality (I can't actually put content into the FCM messages due to legal issues), etc are so problematic that it's basically stalled everything.

I've filed a complaint with the EU, this seems like the only option I've got left. I can't tell everyone running a bouncer to register with Google, I can't relay all messages of all IRC users through a server of mine, and I can't bake in a Google API key into IRC bouncers (as that violates Google's ToS)

Even better are Google managed services (PubSub / Dataflow / Datastore), which scale up and down based on usage (cloud native products) and thus save money automatically compared to their equivalents in AWS (Kinesis / Kinesis Analytics / DynamoDB) which does not autoscale.

These are all put into either a zip, tgz or tbz. The different archive formats have different max download sizes. Looks like the tbz has a 50G download size limit.

In the case of Windows Store, this is only hypothetical. The majority of junk apps have fake developer details, fake or nonworking sites, bad spelling, etc. Even if MS just made them look legit, it'd be an improvement.
I get what you're saying, but in my experience, the risk of sanctions for a good faith production with a few things overlooked is minimal to none. If the other side notices and brings it up (assuming nothing else preventing production), you just give it to them. Problem solved. No judge is going to impose sanctions for essentially doing what the rules of discovery tell you to do.

In Pao's case, it comes across as allowing the other side all kinds of opportunities to go fishing for irrelevant tangents, embarrassing material, overly-personal material, etc., with an almost passive endorsement of that tactic. She wrote that some of this stuff included attorney-client communications! That's terrible. And one of them was a therapy record? Doesn't that sound like a HIPAA issue?

You'd think that effective counsel would try to define the scope of the evidence and the boundaries of the issues on the table every chance they could. A well-thought out document production is one of the cheapest and easiest ways of doing that.
Yes, and you're okay with having 20 to 30 notifications at all times just to run open source apps, or would you say "this is too annoying, I'll switch back to the closed ones that spy on me".

If you want the open source products to win, they need to be able to provide the same usability as the proprietary solution. This is not possible here - you need Google's FCM or you get major disadvantages, and this is problematic.

Similarly, it could enable wealthy students to buy slots from poorer kids. Poorer kids could choose to prioritize schools that are popular, but that they don't actually want to go to, in the hopes of trading places with a rich kid who was willing to pay for the privilege.

> Suppose, for example, that a student’s top choice school is hugely popular. But their number two to five schools are only slightly short on places. Then it could make sense to register for the number two school in the first round. They would have good chances to get into the second best school. Going for the number one choice is risky: if they don’t get in, they have no shot at any school in their top five anymore.

Why would not getting into the first-choice school affect the student's chance of getting into any of their top five schools? The article's earlier description of the Boston method makes it sound as though this wouldn't be the case.

True. In the creative writing world, there is this notion that we are all pulling the ideas from our stories in some alternate space where ideas freely flow.

And when we notice how our original idea (and we're sure it's the first) is too similar to another who beat us to publication, yet both parties are sure no one copied anyone... well, it gives credence to the idea that there is an alternate space out there... or maybe we can access each other's ideas on some quantum level.

Speaking of quantum level, it might even be possible altogether.

I think there are some implicit bias. I've noticed that most black startups in accelerators cater to other black groups or hail mostly from Africa.

If not being strong enough was a criteria then you could guarantee that every startup would succeed, but looking at a lot of accelerators, there is still a high rate of fail, so who is to say strong enough? I've also seen people you least expect to succeed often succeed and some that you would expect to succeed fail...

Your best bet as a black/latinx founder is to be that outlier or build something for your own group...

This seems like an extreme example of "good in theory" overriding "good in practice".

The multi algorithm outperforms single, so run multi, then greedily swap students at random until there are none that got each other's higher ranked choice.

This obviously outperforms multi, and is fair, strategy-resistance be damned.
If you call a function with a different number or type of arguments, or an object that has different keys, or even keys that you added in a different order, bets are off and the optimizer might not be able to reuse previously optimized versions of the function.

I disagree about the "fun" part having just gone through this with my first kid. I agree with the Dutch, swapping (at any point in time) adds an edge of unfairness to the process:

- In a situation where all decent schools are oversubscribed swapping 100% encourages (and rewards) setting up your school list strategically. Which helps out families that have the time to collect the information needed and sort their schools appropriately (we spent a bunch of time researching / planning here, but knew off other families who _really_ got into gaming the system)

- In one of the meetings where the slide you linked in [1] was displayed, they offhand mentioned that the swapping order is done alphabetically. When asked if kids with A* names will get better swaps they kinda ignored the question and moved on. But how are multiple tied swaps resolved?

- Also, from what we were told, the swapping doesn't respect the "lottery weight" that locals, poor test score neighborhood kids, or siblings get. If that's important, shouldn't it apply to all phases of the process? (I'm aware the math here might get out of hand)

I started out thinking that the swapping was a good idea, but when I saw how much it encouraged and rewarded strategy in building the list of schools I changed my mind. It's not a fair process. It's a system that rewards families that have likely already been rewarded by society.

Is NPR really liberal, or do conservatives just say that because it doesn't have an explicitly conservative spin? It seems like whenever I hear people talking about "the liberal media", the list of names seems to cover basically any journalism outfit that isn't explicitly and overtly conservative. It feels like anything left of Fox News is commonly labeled as liberal media which seems a little off to me.
>I think it says something about human nature that she was equally resentful of missing the ski trip and the cookie

She was not upset about missing a ski trip or a cookie. She was pointing out that women are excluded in things big and small in the VC world of KP and the pettiness of the men she worked with in passing a plate of cookies and bypassing the women. The gesture while petty spoke volumes as I would Imagine was the intent. The same could be said of the excuse of why women were excluded from the ski trip. If the company spent that much money to fly everyone out, do you really believe that KP could not afford accommodations for the women? Certainly they could. It was a passive aggressive way to say, "the women are not welcome on the ski trip" without having to say it directly. The foolish games that children play.
