I have studied in Indian and American universities. Many "top ranked" American universities have considerably milder requirements than what is required for passing IIT JEE.

Ranking is based on a number of factors like funding and number of foreign faculty and students. It has nothing to do with the toughness of the entrance exams.

In fact, if you rank institutes according to acceptance ratios, IITs will nearly be the top institutes in the world (the acceptance percentage, roughly 10000 among 1200000, or approx 0.8 percent), along with places like University of Tokyo. If you say restrict to the 5 old IITs, the acceptance ratio is around 0.4 percent. Acceptance ratios have been kept out from ranking parameters.

It's that an implementation problem? I would expect a decompressor to warn that there's unidentified trailing data and perhaps dump it out as-is. After all, even if you did put it there on purpose, surely you still want it, not to have it discarded.

This. I believe we are ripe for another leap in math education, or at least computer science education. A new approach to teaching that in a generation will make current methods looks like rhetorical algebra.

I think this is a great example: https://github.com/Jam3/math-as-code

That page is a sort of rosetta stone for me after years of learning to code while also struggling with math notation. I find a similar fog lifts when I look at set theory through the lens of SQL and relation databases.

It amazes me that we still can't clearly demonstrate to children why math is important and instantly and universally instill a love and curiosity. Instead we have unforgiving educational models that are "well, you either get it or you don't."

It angers me to think of all the potentially _effective_ programmers who get their dreams squashed because they can't pass Calculus II (or other prereq.), and thus are literally not allowed to enroll in a programming course.

I didn't know about Karnaugh Maps but I use truth tables constantly in the design phase of tasks. Thank you very much for this. If you've found other tools like this please share.

These things impress far more people than they should.

The bandwidth is only limited per tower, you can easily double the throughput of a given area by doubling the number of cell towers (and reducing power to avoid interference). It’s a lot cheaper to build a new tower than to run new wires to 200 homes (permits and all). On top of that 5g gives 10x bandwidth over 4g in the same band.

This is pure speculation on my part, but my guess would be that better, simpler foundations and a fresh start end up unlocking a lot of optimization opportunities in the long run. But it would seem foolish to invest too much in optimization while things are still in flux.

>Everything thinks that it's actually easy, and no one gives you credit for it.

It's not clear to me what you mean by getting credit. I'm usually one of the 1-2 "go-to" people on my dev teams. I'm recognized for it constantly. I get comments like, "I wish you were on all our projects." Meaningful financial recognition is less common, but I occasionally get nice bonuses. FWIW the things I regularly get credit for have little to do with code quality. The things I get recognition for are bringing disparate teams together and leading them to solve complex problems. I can only recall having received 2 compliments for my coding ability, by other coders, in almost 20 years of professional coding.
Assuming that higher supply of Bitcoin means lower price (a dangerous assumption for anything with such a heavily speculation-driven price, I know) then that lower price should presumably mean lower production of Bitcoin in China, maybe only modestly lower.

If this hypothetical library is that good, then it probably meets your version of the general criteria I sketched. One problem is that it isn't always obvious what the quality is at the time you make the decision to take the dependency. I use size/complexity as a proxy for how much trouble it's likely to be.

> one of the hallmarks of DI is that you should have a single, central location where all your dependencies are assembled.

This is very interesting to me mainly because it's the first time I've heard it. In Martin Fowler's bliki article [0] he discusses having an assembler, but for me that's just an abstract factory pattern (perhaps I'm wrong). If you don't have abstract dependencies, then you don't need it. Do you have some sources which discuss this? I don't really see the advantage of using a kind of repository for dependencies.

That's an understatement. Helium cooled below 2K loses literally all viscosity and will flow through porcelain like it's a sponge. Not only that, because there's literally zero viscosity, convection makes superfluid helium a great heat conductor. All of this was discovered back in the 30s. The man who discovered superfluid liquid helium must have truly thought he had gone insane.
I completely disagree with this 'Op-Ed'! I've recently used 3 of the latest ThinkPads, including X1 Carbon for 1 month - alongside my primary machine i.e MacBook - and I don't think there is ANY comparison between the two in any way!

Yes, If MacBook did not existed and I had to buy one, I'd probably may be buy X1. It is good in that sense, better than many others.

I know, we can't just throw out the concept of a contract with our current society and I don't think there would be a benefit in doing so. However mortgages are something that rarely have side effects surprise the signers. Terms of service seem to surprise the majority of individuals who agree to them, and as the poster above said, the idea that anyone agreeing to them understands what they agreed to is a fiction.

Why terms of service are having a different outcome is something that should be figured out and mitigated. We shouldn't just keep charging forward on something where the outcome is bad for the vast majority of individuals in society, just because we've always done it that way
Why? do discoveries scale with the number of researchers in the field?

Compare the last decade to 1900-1909. How many Physicists were there compared to the many thousands we have now.

No.

OCamlers tend to avoid OOP mostly because we can get away with modules, functors, polymorphic variants to model subtyping, and now also GADTs and open variant types to precisely model and add cases.

When we do need to use it, it is actually pretty elegant and well-designed. It's just that since we've tasted the power of the more functional abstraction techniques, OOP loses its allure.
Nah, I'd say it's at most 30% gibberish. Definitely pretty abstract, though.
>For one, one of the hallmarks of DI is that you should have a single, central location where all your dependencies are assembled

While this is true, if you're doing your composition root right in a large application, then you're assembling most of your dependency graph using conventions, and assembling only the most unique things by hand.

I used to go to a business conference every year in SF (I am from the UK). Also, in the summer a few friends and I would regularly take 9/10 days off and rail around Europe, seeing new cities, exploring and having fun.

A few years ago, I had a bit of holiday available, so took it straight after the conference in SF to travel from SF to New York (with the most part of the Zephr train).

I explained what I was doing to one American at the conference and he couldn't get his head around it. "But you can fly" and "but it is cheaper to fly" and "but you can get their faster by flying". I explained I wanted to be on the train, unwinding, watching America move past my window, speak to all sorts of people. Go to sleep in one state and wake up in another. After a long chat, the American was happy to leave me be.

The next day I am talking to someone at the conference and the American from yesterday turns up, I do a little nod and wave to acknowledge him, but he comes over and interrupts. He is with 5 other Americans and says to them "this is the British guy I was talking to you about!" and I had to explain to more people what I am doing and why. It was then like a snow ball effect for the rest of the conference.

I spoke to so many Americans that had never been on a train, which seemed just as bizarre to me as I seemed to them.

Anyway, the Zephr ride was amazing, there was a drought and heat wave in California and Chicago was in -15°C freezing temperatures. I saw the land scale change from sky scrapers to empty space, climbed up and around the Sierra Nevadas, went through your after hour of flat farm land and so the outside change from sun to snow. I spoke to so many people from devout Christians from the South, to a train driver/operator (who told us when the driver wasn't doing as well as he could and explained how various parts of the train work), to a retired couple who are travel regularly to see their kids, to college students to military men.

In the observatory carriage you get an amazing view of the country going by and sometimes have guides come on board to give you some history and information about the area. This was supplemented by eager locals who told me even more and pointed out wildlife as we travelled.

I slept brilliantly in my bed each night and enjoyed nice food three times a day. It was like being on a package holiday where you eat too much, drink too much and sleep too much. Needless to say I really enjoyed it and have been on a few more similar journeys in the US since (but the Zephr was the best).

When I arrived in New York I was only there one night but that was fine for me, I was more interested in the train ride.

After a tiring week at the conference, the train ride was such a breath of fresh air, a chance to decompress and relax, being forced to do nothing except enjoy the surroundings, have a few days off from appointments, to dos, worries and stress.

I have been to quite a few American cities, but felt I got a better sense of what America is from taking that train ride.

Mermaid is great, and I've used it for architectural diagrams of how tech stacks are put together, or data flows between apps. But it only produces marginally nicer-looking diagrams than Graphviz, and it optimizes badly against unnecessary line intersections (e.g. it's far too easy to end up with this, even in trivial diagrams: https://imgur.com/Tkpa9fD).

My wish is for a diagram renderer with a smarter layout algorithm that heavily optimizes for direction and cleanness, understands grouping really well, and comes with easy ways to apply SVG styles. I like Google's diagrams in this regard:

You are so lucky! You have a huge chance to note the experiences of the author, and _change course_ now before you end up unemployable years down the road! (like the author, who is going to be one of those aging coders who can't seem to get a job)

The author clearly seems to know computers, but in general from reading his post, he is a bad engineer. He collaborates poorly, he offers solutions without context, and does dangerous things without even realizing it. (eg: the use of BATCH without consideration for the negatives of such)

One thing to realize is you are holding an absolutist view of programming as an immutable art form. Programming computers is an engineering discipline. It exists to serve an external purpose - help people, make money, solve problems in the real world. Like every engineering discipline, it involves a trade off. Marking off your coworkers as "obvious lack of ambition" and "lack of respect" in their efforts based on your own judgement of their coding skill is intensely disrespectful. That's the kind of attitude that is inherently pre-judgemental and is what can get you fired, not hired or just edged out.

Having worked with truly intelligent individuals, one thing I have noticed is their endless humility and lack of ego. They are kind, think well of others and endlessly question their own intelligence. The author falls short on every metric.

Readers of the paper can’t know who handled the submission.

You really believe that journalism was fundamentally different back then? You never heard that famous John Swinton quote before? I find that a bit hard to believe, actually.
A journalist should always be embarrassed when they publish some bullshit because a source lied to them. Why should science reporting be any different?

Science reporting should more than spell checking university press releases.

Making a snide comment is not an apology. @swrobel jumped into a Github issue that was resolved and closed 6 months ago.

At least @indirect followed his own CoC and downplayed it as being rude.

Not necessarily. If clean energy in Iceland is cheaper than coal in China and can grow indefinitely, increasing the difficulty may push the Chinese miners out of the market, stopping all coal-using crypto-currency mining.
