Imagine, there's an app with Slack's functionality that already has such interop with email as you've built here :) Fleep: https://fleep.io/

Anyone who does not want the group chat experience can be included in conversations via email.

Currently, that does mean getting all messages via email, and not @mentions (nice idea, worth considering for Fleep's product team). But idea is similar:

Tencent did a reasonable job of migrating a lot of people to WeChat from QQ, but then again QQ is also still alive and used, so it wasn't a full/complete migration.

>They try hard to let in disadvantaged kids, but it's a crap shoot deciding who has potential and who doesn't. They rarely care about anything other than academics. (I'm not sure how they recruit the rowers.)

They don't try that hard.

Being vaguely involved with the Oxbridge undergrad admissions process in CS/Math i can tell you there is very little trying. A fuss is being made about coming from a disadvantaged background but in practice sadly the people running it only care about one thing: how well you can grind out an answer to a math olympiad style question in 15 minutes. Yes, extra-curriculars and well-roundedness don't matter which I think is a good thing because I believe in focusing on being great at one thing.

What it comes down to nonetheless is preparation and school support, e.g. via training for math competitions. Saying the interviews are about 'evaluating the thinking process' of the applicant is a fantasy when most applicants come from schools where they have been trained to do them for years. Oxbridge are not forthcoming about this but ultimately they take people who are already well groomed Math olympiad winners, not raw potential.

It's probably still better than opaquely selecting for race and like-ability and if this means many math undergrads are Asian, why should that be a problem? It's still unfair to disadvantaged children and this sucks, but at least the criteria are clear.

Ps: on your question how they recruit rowers: They let them study land economy, that's the joke at least.
I cannot wait for the legal discovery process commences. It’s going to be a bloodbath, because Harvard has discriminated against Asians far more subtly and systematically than they did with Jews.

(As background, I'm a jemalloc developer; reposting my twitter comment on the same article): This is quite a bad way of doing a malloc benchmark -- getting realistic activity patterns is critical (see e.g. Wilson et al.'s survey). It doesn't meaningfully test inter-thread interactions, and randomizes in a way that hurts the effectiveness of thread-local caching.

For the large majority of server workloads on Linux, jemalloc or tcmalloc is probably the right choice of allocator. Trying these out (and spending a few additional test runs tuning their configuration) will often yield significant wins compared to the glibc allocator.

Good. That's the way it should be.

"The whole magic of the site is being able to have the experience of looking over other people's shoulders into their inbox, and seeing how they actually talk with one another when they're not on stage."

What you call "magic" is a blatant and disgusting violation of my privacy. Those messages are "not on stage" for a reason; if I wanted them to be "on stage", then I would put them there myself. You have no business "looking over [my] shoulder" at all, let alone inviting everyone else in the world to do so.
I was recently thinking about this. With the advances made in crispr we can perhaps bring back species that we made go extinct. Some people might not like this idea but if you think about it, much of the 'nature' we think is untouched was created by man. So why not accept the fact that we as homo Sapiens have a unusually large footprint on the world and try to create a world we'd like (create nature and bring back extinct animals anywhere we want)
> Do you imagine these people responding to "I don't agree with that" with claims that they are being harassed?

Sadly yes. The logic works as follows:

If you don't agree with me (let's say on gay marriage), you're saying my belief is invalid. The things I believe constitute my identity; therefore you are attacking my identity and thus existentially threatening me.

On some forums this kind of disagreement is grounds for banning, no matter how politely expressed or well reasoned.
XMPP is an open TCP connection with its own protocol, like MQTT, Stomp, Redis, NATS, and all the *MQs. WebSub is mostly between HTTP servers, where one server can tell another that it wants a specific HTTP URL to be GET’d on a message. Each message requires a new TCP connection. So it will not handle very many messages - but I don’t think that’s the point.

What do you mean?

I think the biggest problem is giving electoral votes based on total state population instead of based on citizenship.

California and Texas both end up with more than they should have.

Edit: I'd like electoral votes to be distributed proportionally instead of winner takes all - it sucks that if you are not in a swing state you have less influence.

The questions in the admissions exam and interviews are fairly straightforward, they are nowhere near any math olympiad level. Math olympiads normally require a host of advanced techniques, each of which is quite accessible but never gets taught in schools. Interview questions just need what gets taught plus some understanding of what a proof is.
Agreed 100%.

Currently, Harvard, Yale and the other Ivy Leagues are perceived as the best education money can buy. If it turns out that it's not actually that hard to get into Harvard if you have money or are legacy (and that the education itself is middling), it may lead to a hit in reputation. It may not make a difference to the Cruella DeVille types directly, but public perception is a thing. If enough of the public perceives a Harvard degree as ill-gotten, the value of that degree goes down. Ergo, they start losing applicants to the other Ivys.

He's talking about counties, which are spread across a diverse geographic region. As per the image there it looks like the clear majority of California's counties leaned republican for governor. But the counties that leaned democrat are very densely populated and so end up choosing for the entire state.

On a national level this is the reason for the existence of both the electoral college and the senate. Imagine we did not have the college or senate and there was one very heavily populated state with a large group of mostly homogenous voters. Suddenly that state would be deciding every single action for the entire nation. Whether this is a good or bad thing probably depends on your views on what representation means, but it's safe to say that people in many states would feel they lacked such - which was the very reason that we rebelled against the British Empire.
I am aware, PhD students design and mark these questions, and can interview :)

The point is that if you go to a target school doing Math olympiads throughout your school life, the admissions exam and interview is a walk in the park. The applicants who didn't have any of this preparation can still do well but will fare relatively worse against that group, and I think this is very obvious in the ultimate intake.
Based upon my experiences in business, quite a lot of the time when someone says they don't want to share the details of a "soft" process (rather than engineering or scientific methods) its because they don't actually have anything like a documented repeatable process and they are just using "judgement" to make the decision - which for something like recruitment or admissions is likely to be influenced by personal and organisational biases.

IMO again, this apply only along the social dimension of software. I can still boot up my decade-old computer and use decade-old software to do useful work (hell, many if not most factories do that all the time).

A gravitational constant that is the same
everywhere in the universe and is incompatible
with a fifth force.

The fallout of this ramification is that, gravity is some sort of ambient side effect of material presence, sort of like a shadow cast, more than an emission radiated.

As a constant, that means that its invariance is significant, in the same way the speed of light is significant. There is some externality pegging the phenomena we notice, at the value we observe. Perhaps some sort of Planck-level absolute fact, which is irreducible in the same way that the concept of color doesn't exist very much beneath 400 nanometers (violet/near-ultraviolet), since color is only an abstraction of our eyeballs and the language we use to describe our sensations.
If I were considering going to Harvard, knowing that there was recently a widely publicized controversy surrounding their acceptance criteria would certainly make me think twice - apart from the moral concerns of supporting such an institution, it's a safe bet that hiring managers would be aware that Harvard graduates were not necessarily selected for merit, which might cause them to value it less than a scholastically-equivalent education from a different university.

Try to do a bitmap allocator. Each word of memory has a free/used bit attached in a separate map. It allows quick resizing before or after the block without moving. It can also be optimal by reducing the fragmentation (find the best block for a given size in the map). It can be optimized with bit counting intrinsics (like popcntl()).

But then gravity changes would be felt instantaneously rather than propagating at the speed of light.

My ex's internship at Harvard was as simple as her dad knowing a prof that is friends with a harvard one. No prep, no interview, no nothing.

here is one project which is trying to solve the welth distribution inequality: https://merit.world/

they claim that root cause of inequality comes from the fact that signalling and exchange value of money is nowadays coupled together (i.e. dollar is used for exchange of goods as well as to signal to the public that you a rich person).

they try to separate this two ingredients, so that there will be sort of two currencies, one for exchange, and the other for signalling (kind of likes in facebook world).
I'm running linux (manjaro - kde) on my thinkpad T470. It works marvelous, scaling works without issue, adding screens, updating, hibernate/sleep. It all just works.

Currently haven't rebooted my laptop for 45 days, updated in the middle (while still being able to work) and still works wihout issue.

Meanwhile my windows desktop keeps forcing updates/reboots every week interrupting my work.
Also interesting to mention: windows always has the fans on of my laptop, on linux only under heavy load.

Bought the laptop especially for the linux support on the thinkpad series, very happy with it.
Not necessarily: I personally dislike death in roguelikes. What I like is that I fear death. It gives a weight to the game thats normally absent

I normally quit my roguelike binges when I stop caring about keeping my characters alive, even on a good/long run. In fact, too good a run can even get boring, when I get too confident in my capacity to survive (though this naturally resolves itself when I inevitably splat because of that confidence).

But never because I haven't gotten the fun of dying recently; its because I stopped worrying about the possibility/consequence.

Harvard is being sued for racial discrimination against Asian Americans in
there admissions policies.

They created set of personality criteria for admissions. The criteria
was entirely subjective, things like 'positive personality', and 'likability'.
Then gave Asians consistently low scores on theses subjective criteria. And
then weighed the criteria high enough to knock them out of positions which
they would have otherwise qualified for if the admissions was based on standard
academic criteria.

Bias and racism is predictable when you choose to abandon Meritocracy based on
objective measurable criteria.

Riding in the Netherlands with google maps and a scalaG9x and a android phone in the pocket works pretty okey. The few issues i have is bluetooth not being on continuesly, so as the phone starts giving a new direction, i might miss the first few words, but as i get closer to the exit and the second or third remind goes off, i tend to hear the full message. I am using english phone settings and language settings, and this unfortuatly means that every streetname in Dutch are pronounced in English, which give it a comic tone that sometimes takes a second to wrap my brain around. Other than this, traffic redirects due to congestion works like a charm. I also own a Garmin Zumo 220 which i had mounted on next to the speedo, but since you have to pay for updated maps after a year, this device is now collecting dust in favor of Google.
Great quote :) To rephrase I think the problem is that the skill set you need to get into a political position is completely orthogonal to the skill set you need to do good work in said position.
If children of graduates are more qualified _naturally_ then why does Harvard _need_ it to be _policy_ that they take legacy status into account? MIT and Caltech seem to do fine with legacy-blind admissions.
