I think the author knows full well via his reference to the guide being adopted elsewhere: he's writing for people who are not at google but adopt big g's standards as they assume they are good. Well they are, but just for google itself (as the guide admits -- it explicitly forbids exceptions not because they are a bad idea but because of so much legacy code).
Per your own link, Tesla has not yet satisfied the requirement. Tesla needs to hire 500 workers by April 2019, and so far has only hired 400. The other 400 were hired by Panasonic and don't get counted towards Tesla's total. Based on the abysmal/lack of solarroof sales in the past year, it's unlikely they'll need 100 new workers in the next 5 months.

Tangental, but it's frustrating creating a website and optimizing it for performance down to the bone; and then having 'mission critical' plugins totally rip the potential performance gains to shreds.

My ecommerce site [0] (built on a custom stack, not shopify; making it orders of magnitude faster). I got it down to 600kb with 27 network requests total (with it being heavily media/image based). Now find me any other ecommerce site which can boast a comparable network payload.

Unfortunately, after throwing google analytics + fb ad trackers + a chat widget + a youtube video, the network requests have ballooned to 100+. It's very ironic how these companies promote
the development a performance driven web, but the tools they want us to embed do quite the contrary. They do, however, offer a lot of value. What to do?

I remember with fondness a professor of mine who drove mad some of my classmates by basically only grading papers on demand, due undoubtedly to some of what you’be mentioned undoubtedly.

Classes may be what students take when they go to college, but I always thought of them more as ice-breakers for the forming of relationships with instructors and fellow students and a way to foster a community of intellectual enquiry.
Yep it's quite clever for searching for things, much less useful for doing something based on the recognized text.
In some aspects yes, in others no.

I accidentally cut myself a little too deep while doing dishes a couple years ago (opaque, soapy water and sharp surfaces don't mix well). I couldn't get the bleeding to stop (without constant pressure held for about an hour), so I went to urgent care. I knew that I needed stitches or that "glue" they use to seal wounds. I didn't care which solution the Doctor picked, but I knew I needed something.

Students have some sense of what a generally good instructional experience looks like. It's better to collect this feedback, and have people that are experts in instruction examine the reviews, synthesize with their own knowledge of what makes instruction great, and use that information to improve.

But saying we should totally close out students since "they don't know what they need" removes a fruitful data source in determining where professors can improve.
Their whole "scheme", where ".." can be dealt with as a canonicalizing step BEFORE submitting the path to the OS for actual opening, seems to require refinement when symlinks are involved.

Take a perfectly spherical unix:

$ mkdir /tmp/hn
$ cd /tmp/hn
$ ln -s . foo; mkdir bar; touch baz
$ ls -l bar/../baz foo/baz foo/../baz
ls: cannot access 'foo/../baz': No such file or directory
-rw-r--r-- 1 jepler jepler 0 Nov 28 18:21 bar/../baz
-rw-r--r-- 1 jepler jepler 0 Nov 28 18:21 foo/baz

Fuscsia-with-symlinks would have some extra hoops to jump through to make rewriting act like POSIX in the case that /tmp/hn is not escaped, which surely you'd want if you went ahead and introduced symlinks.

I don't know anyone who uses fiancee in a gendered way; all my engaged friends refer to their future husband/wife as their fiancee (though, granted, I'm probably not as old as many here who are already wed so I might just be out of the loop). Google's definition of fiancee seems to offer both wife-to-be and husband-to-be as synonyms as well, so I'm not really sure the parent's sneer is really valid in this case.
A BASIC interpreter is not what I was calling a command line. I guess I was thinking of it as implying an OS shell. Originally, the party line was that you did not need one on the Macintosh, but besides MPW, AppleScript came out by 1993.

For my part, I never understood why someone would want to go back to not using a GUI, once they had been invented. I mean, using a graphical interface doesn't prevent you from typing commands within windows. It's just a question of whether you limit yourself to the ancient teletype paradigm or not. So I never saw (post-1984) GUI and command line as equally valid and valuable worlds, because a GUI can encompass everything, while the command line doesn't.
That's intersting, because the lisp 'the right thing' approach [1] calls for correctness and ease of use over simplicity of implementation.

From the article:

> I’m surprised that SimilarWeb finds the personal browsing data that it siphons off via Stylish so valuable. The data almost certainly feeds into SimilarWeb’s main product, the SimilarWeb platform, a tool that provides reports on the aggregate usage statistics of websites and apps... But data collected via Stylish will surely be riddled with so much sampling bias that it becomes worthless... A giant stew of miscellaneous, unattributed scraps of data can’t ever turn into a representative sample, no matter how much salt and machine learning you add.

I'm not surprised at all. It's important to note that SimilarWeb sells its data to non-statisticians.

Imagine this scenario: Marketing analyst has a gut feeling that the product would be popular with millennials on Reddit, but old-school marketing execs barely know what Reddit is. Analyst sneaks a SimilarWeb subscription into the budget. Analyst gets Stylish-based data that is heavily biased towards Reddit. Analyst may know this. Analyst doesn't care. Analyst uses the data to "prove" that the company's users are on Reddit and justify the Reddit ad spend they wanted anyways. Campaign is a success. Pretty much everyone wins (kind of): Reddit users get more relevant ads. Analyst advances their career and reputation. SimilarWeb gets paid. Stylish extension can be maintained and polished. SimilarWeb maybe even affords to hire for their security team, who makes sure that the data is anonymized at rest.

At the end of the day, adtech is a beast that grows because it tells people what they want to hear, and remains silent when it can't find that answer. p-hacking and survivorship bias are the way of the world. This isn't necessarily a bad thing. But... if this sounds like a bubble to you, all I can say is that you should diversify your holdings outside of tech stocks.

Some schools have found how useless GPAs are and have adopted narrative evaluations [1].

The grading in my course is not relative. I set a rubric that I assess each individual on. Sure, within the class you can compare grades, but I wouldn't say it is particularly meaningful. Comparing between classes or universities is completely meaningless.

People just want a simple number that can accurately represent someone's knowledge/learning/skill/effort, but it doesn't exist.

That’s why you don’t use the threshold to trigger anything more punitive than further investigation. And sure, tune the threshold to the department. But also consider that maybe teaching is better on average in some departments than others. (For instance, the drop-off in teaching quality from high school to college in my experience was enormous in math and arts but slight in both sciences and humanities. Which seems to me more like a problem with the math and art departments’ approaches to hiring or teaching than with math or arts as subjects.)
The premise is no gaps, but the reality is that some gaps are more difficult to close than others. Some gaps will continue as demand increases.

Now that I think about that.. I did have a professor in my undergrad who held grades until the evaluations were done. Suffice to say, I regret the evaluation I gave.
Apparently the number of "e"s matters and one means male and two means female. In practice, I highly doubt anyone actually knows or cares.
That's a shame, I find the majority of them vary between OK and Excellent. The only ones I consider shit are Manchester Piccadilly, Monument in London, one in Carlisle and another in Hull.

There are also some really excellent ones such as one I found near the south downs. Can't exactly remember where but it had two roaring log fires in it. Great Malvern one is nearly as good.
I used to teach in academia. Student reviews are REALLY easy to game. Give everyone As for doing nothing, and most will give you As for just being entertaining. It doesn’t matter if they learn anything, or worse, if they learn the wrong things.
The word fiancé/fiancée is gendered. It is one of the few gendered words in English, as the gender was not dropped in taking it from French. Fiancé refers to the male. Fiancée refers to the female. They are pronounced exactly the same, which is why you have never heard it.
It's an interesting fact that argument by analogy is a fallacy unless one details what precisely is analogous to what, what the exceptions are, etc.

And yet...

All ideas begin life as analogies, which are gradually refined by detailing what precisely is analogous to what, what the exceptions are, etc.

You cannot have a local index for a FDW, how would it know to update when the foreign data changed? an approach you can take if you want indexed data from an fdw is to materialize the data (or a subset of it) and index that with 'CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW... AS SELECT ... FROM my_fdw...' and then index columns of that view.

You _can_ run ANALYZE on foreign tables:

"When use_remote_estimate is true, postgres_fdw obtains row count and cost estimates from the remote server and then adds fdw_startup_cost and fdw_tuple_cost to the cost estimates. When use_remote_estimate is false, postgres_fdw performs local row count and cost estimation and then adds fdw_startup_cost and fdw_tuple_cost to the cost estimates. This local estimation is unlikely to be very accurate unless local copies of the remote table's statistics are available. Running ANALYZE on the foreign table is the way to update the local statistics; this will perform a scan of the remote table and then calculate and store statistics just as though the table were local. Keeping local statistics can be a useful way to reduce per-query planning overhead for a remote table — but if the remote table is frequently updated, the local statistics will soon be obsolete."

TIL there's a separate term for the male in this case.

Looking it up, it appears the distinction between fiancé (for the man) and fiancée (for the woman) has been falling out of style.

This isn't helped by the fact that the distinction in spelling is, apparently, taken directly from French and that both words are pronounced the same way.
The technicality here is that “fiancée” is historically female while “fiancé” is historically male. Same word, same pronunciation different suffix. Either way, nothing to get hung up about.

Importantly, that 1400 people is per day, as in...the entire day. A single bus can take 50-60 people in 30-40 minutes (roundtrip), so a dozen buses could transport more people to the game in an hour than the Elontunnel in an entire day.

Metro runs between 12 and 24 shuttle buses to Dodgers games (based on anticipated attendance) starting about 2 hours before to about an hour after the game ends, for a theoretical capacity of 3600 people on the low end and 17,000 on the high end over the course of the game.

> a few strange things like calling function variables with the dot notation, but it's there for a reason

I feel like anyone who has written a Yacc-based parser for programming-language syntax will appreciate Elixir's grammar even more for these "quirks." Elixir's syntax is as beautiful as it can be while also being explicitly unambiguous. Which means that the language syntax is very easy to change or extend—unlike other PLs I could name, where the set of parsing rules resembles a late-game Jenga tower.

Or, to put that another way: Elixir isn't just a joy to use; it's a joy to be a core maintainer of. (How often have you ever heard anyone consider that part of a programming language's UX?)

Oh, and this simple, explicit set of parse rules also results in a highly-predictable and regular AST, which means you can write an macro-based DSL library in Elixir—one that will actually works with any arbitrary Elixir code hanging out inside your macro body—in not-much code, and without worry that a minor language change in the future will break your lib.
It's just an hour so far. Give it more time.
We did the same. Paper + only date & website link. Worked out awesome. Then you can update the site as people ask questions or need more detailed info, etc.
> Regarding professors wanting to keep review data tightly sealed: in my view, if you can't by public disclosure of your evaluation, then you either don't feel you're meeting expectations, or have no desire to improve in areas where students feel improvement could be made.

There is also the third option, which the author is arguing for: that the professors do not think the ratings are an accurate reflection of their teaching skills.

If the doctor chose one of the sealing methods over the other which you preferred, you gave a lower score of because of it, it still is not an indication of the quality of the treatment you received. You wouldn't have been qualified to determine the best method.

In the mid-2000s, I inherited a code base that was supposed to recommend nearby points of interest (coffee shop! pizza place!) based on your zip code. It had been written by a contract programmer in India who naturally didn't understand how US zip codes worked. That was interesting.

> Everybody loved big data and social media when Obama used it to win and when Arab Spring happened. But now it's a threat to democracy, I wonder what changed?

Obviously you are implying that Obama voters dislike "big data" and social media because Trump won. This is lazy strawmanning.

Perhaps we are unhappy with the role the internet played in the 2016 election for other reasons? Perhaps it is bad when voters are fed objectively false stories? Perhaps a democracy is only possible with an informed populace that uses common facts and a shared reality?
Plot twist: Mitochondrial DNA can come from both parents
To be honest, I'm not sure how teachers get and keep their jobs, but as students are graded on their studying skills, I feel like teachers should be graded every fews years on their teaching skills.

Well, to be honest, I really wish everyone who wants to one more hurdle in front of teachers should understand the correlation between bad teaching and teachers having a low-paid, unrewarding and effectively abusive job.

Lousy teachers keep their job because no one highly competent wants these jobs. Lousy teachers keep their job because a huge array of bureaucratic song-and-dance exists and people good at that can be bad at teaching.

I'm sorry you had that experience but you might consider looking at the system. Corporate customer support is terrible, let's all call for more test-of-competence for these low paid flunkies too. That will address the problem.

It depends upon the platform, the language and the toolsets. For instance, for C, a trick I've used is to (if I can) use different C compilers and crank the warnings/errors to 11 and fix every complaint (or try to---it can be daunting to attempt this all at once).

Other tricks---run the code through linters or other stylistic nit-pickers and fix those too. I haven't yet used a code reformatter, but that's a quick way to get code into a consistent style.
It rather looks that way, although it seems like it requires more explicit configuration.
At the bottom end they’re pretty similar - basically, they’re both quite good for making static items. When it comes to mechanical aspects and moving parts, SolidWorks is more powerful, in my experience.

Still, I use Fusion 360, since it’s free for hobbyists, and the video tutorials are excellent.
