Often a research university will interview many candidates, give offers to/recruit many candidates, and yet find that for each individual it recruited, there was a competing university which worked better for that candidate.

Usually (from what I have seen) candidates on the academic job market don't end up in industry (at least not immediately) - they are in the job market because they are passionate about academia.

> IF the quality is the same

That's the thing. It isn't. Every franchise, big or small, has wildly different quality of ingredients and preparation (and even send the correct damn drink and remember the dip) among outlets, and if I order from that one, I want that one to prepare my food.
Neat! I'll have to check this out.

I am currently re-using the picture from my work permit, it looked professional enough for me.
> It’s important to note that this is taught in schools starting from as early as grade 1.

My kids come home with hungry with half-eaten lunches complaining how they didn’t have enough time to eat. They get rushed to finish within 10-15 minutes and go outside. This is a universal complaint among parents.

We’re culturally ingraining eating as something you rush through on the way to something else.
All true, but the benefits of integrating those things are more obvious to me than "you don't have a separate USB and power cable."

On the plus side, issues like mine ought to become less common with an integrated device, since it would become impossible for Dell to not test their USB hub when they plug in the display cable.

And I suppose I've considered a thunderbolt hub for the convenience and decided against it just because of what they cost. If that sort of integration were "free" with displays, yeah I'd probably take it.
And, Microsoft even follows China’s censorship rules.

Yes, I have done so twice. The first time, I had a professional photographer take photos of my team and I so that our "about us" page would have a consistent look. The second time, my local Chamber of Commerce provided the services of a professional during a networking event. I use these photos over something I took with my phone or cropped from some other photo because they look a lot more professional.

If you are developing a service related to professional headshots, I would appreciate you contacting me at mcculley@stackframe.com as I am developing something related to that industry.
We appear to have a 20-ish-year boom/bust cycle in CS enrollment; Eric Roberts (and some others in CS education) have been working on this for a while; there's a ton of resources at https://cs.stanford.edu/people/eroberts/ResourcesForTheCSCap...
Yes, but that's not what happens. Folks say "you tested for an empty pointer wrong" meaning not how they prefer. Or "This could be coded another way that I think is clearer".

Here's a litmus test: if the comment has nothing to do with the correctness of the solution to the ticket, then don't comment. Instead write another ticket to address {whatever}. If it doesn't rise to the level of a ticket then guess what - you're being pedantic.

Another idea to retain or hire faculty: let them have dual enrollment at tech companies and universities. Not sure if this is a good idea, or if it works. But I'd certainly be interested in studying the outcomes of it. Potentially could cause a conflict of interest in motivation of academic research vs industry driven research to profit the company, or even be used as a way to fast-track students to said company. Not that these things are inherently bad, but such decisions could have undesired outcomes for the universities that do this. But could be an idea worth exploring. Or, universities could become more competitive with salaries.
I like your words.
It's weird how when we talk about political manipulation we always talk about bots and fake news as only fringe media, while we overlook the biggest manipulation that comes from right wing concentrated multimedia like CNN, CNBC, etc. They have been caught publishing made up stories, communicates, fabricating witnesses multiple times. Like, dunno, Saddam's weapons of mass destruction comes to mind.
It's not a viewpoint; its a process. Comment and approve. Don't comment if its unrelated to the ticket being address; then write another ticket if the issue warrants it. Otherwise, save it for around the water cooler.
Oh, to read the Google employee forums today... I wonder how those "activist employees" will respond this time.
Do you mean "Otherwise you allow free speech" ? Because it seems you are arguing companies should censor everything a person says it does on the Internet. I for one want a decentralised and open internet where you can be anonymous and say anything you like. I know people will argue about trolls and cyber bullying in an anonymous internet but I would sooner choose that for my kids then a corporate internet designed to spy and report back on us.

Are we going to ignore that Google responded that they published this as part of a legal defense rather than a lobbying effort.
From the article: "We're not lobbying for changes to any rules." Rather, she said, Google's claim that the Obama-era protections should be overturned was "a legal defense that we included as one of many possible defenses"

I'm not saying that makes it right, but I see a difference between pushing for it as an independent agenda and using it to defend yourself from a legal filing.
IANAL, but Legal arguments tend to be set up as: They are wrong because of argument 1, and even if you don't agree with argument 1 they are wrong because of argument 2, and so on through argument n. You include everything that's relevant in that list to preserve it for future appeals even if you have some pretty weak or controversial arguments.
In fact such dispensers have been created.

We have additional sensors useful for driving: force sensors on the steering wheel (works better with lower levels of power steering) as well as our accelerometers in our inner ear. The latter has redundancies in pressure sensors located around the body, though to be fair I only used those back in my car racing days.
When I was an undergrad (Finished in 2007) it was different. You were definitely assigned to a program which had required courses with a 1-2 half courses a yearyou could use for other courses. They didn't generally limit what classes you could take and I filled out my schedule with computer science courses. This changed in my last year where they switched to a specialization / major / minor system where you could combine courses to more or less create your own degree. I ended up leaving with a specialization in biochemistry and microbiology and a major in computer science.
I’m not sure if I should be glad my school didn’t have competitive admissions or disappointed that it limited my career trajectory
The issue is that it goes up inside the vagina, whereas a pad doesn't. The taboo is related to a perceived loss of virginity. It's hard for me to hold my tongue and not outright assail such thinking, but for me to do so would be fruitless.
I know I’m one data point, but I’ve taught classes as an adjunct before and my (tech co) employer was fine with it... it’s totally workable if you can say get Friday mornings off.

I agree with your statement, but what I usually see in real life is that once dependencies are vendored in they never change.
Wow! You really believe that a crumb can break a MBP keyboard?

God have mercy on your soul.

Really, is that the best that Apple competitors can do!?

You are all ridiculous, there are MILLIONS of MBPs out there, must all those millions live in a enclosed dome where no dust can get in.

Seriously, nobody has time for your anti-Apple nonsense, I don't know why I even replied.
No just press the left pedal of a grand piano, called the una corda pedal. It shifts the keyboard so that the hammers hit only one or two strings instead of 2 or 3.

The thing is, theory can never provide evidence for anything.

There is certainly an aspect of overbooking present in university admittance/enrollment:

Universities regularly "admit" more students than they can actually allow to "enroll". If a university can physically support a freshman class of, say, 1000 students, they will "admit" a number higher than that, say 1300, knowing that only a percentage of the students that they admit will actually end up enrolling (because very simply some of them choose to enroll at a another university that they were also accepted into).

Here at the university I work at they refer to this "admittance/enrollment" ratio as "yield" or "yield rate". The yield is tracked from year to year and the number of acceptance letters sent out is based on this historical data.

Sometimes, though, the University is surprised (like this past year here) and gets a much higher yield rate and ends up with more students than dorm rooms...
Sorry if OT, but the nand2tetris course really brought the benefits of stack vs heap allocation into stark relief. As part of the course, you have to implement a compiler and OS, including malloc/free [1].

You can see how local variables just push something onto the stack, which is a small number of CPU instructions, while malloc is a big function, each step of which translates into many instructions, and which also has to deal with iterating through a data structure to find a big enough block.

Part 8: Implementing the virtual machine, where you do stack allocation/calls: https://www.nand2tetris.org/project08

Part 12: Implementing the OS, where you add the malloc/free utilities (Memory.jack): https://www.nand2tetris.org/project12

[1] It calls them alloc and deAlloc in the course.

Two of the authors are in a Chinese university. Two of them in different departments in a US university.

This actually surprises me for how much effort Microsoft puts into being compliant with China. Last year China took down Yahoo! too, despite Yahoo's relationship with Alibaba.

I was an expat last year and with Google (& DuckDuckGo) blocked I already had pretty few options of search engine. Short of learning enough Chinese to manage Baidu, I can't imagine how hard it would be to use internet as a foreigner in China now.

The e-mails referenced in the article were unsolicited policy preferences communicated by a multi-billion dollar company to a regulator in writing. These communications were sent following a PR and HR crisis. The chances that this didn't have high-level sign-off is virtually zero.
It doesn't necessarily mean it's wrong, but the tone of the piece and the fact that it's funded by Kellog's is certainly at least eye-brow raising:

There’s no such thing as a beef-eating environmentalist.

Slate’s coverage of food systems is made possible in part by the W.K. Kellogg Foundation.

Anyway, I think it's fair to at least say the topic is debated.

(Also, I wouldn't recommend being too overly swayed by "scientific consensus": scientists are just people, who are mostly sheep; lots of scientific consensuses turn out to be wrong. I'm reminded of the Feynman quote:

By the same argument net neutrality is coercing speech.

Welcome to the trough of disillusionment.
Yes, instead of giving any shits about anything outside our borders, let's all look inward and think real hard about the long-foretold-with-wailing-and-gnashing-of-teeth "disintegration of Western society", to which a rigidly self-centered mindset certainly couldn't be a contributor!

> I never understand why “tax the ultra wealthy” is always deemed a hard choice, or thought of as untenable.

Because the ultra wealthy have disproportionate control of the mechanisms of communication and propaganda and don't want to be taxed.

I used to have migranes every two weeks on average but they stopped when I switched from a western diet to pure vegetarian ("vegan") diet some time in May last year. I'm not 100% certain it's the diet (how could I be?) but I can't ignore the causality.
A forest fire is a really good challenge scenario. The threat isn't really anything to do with driving or road hazards as such, it's an out of context threat.

It's these out of context situations that are my long term issue with losing the steering wheel. A typical example would be arriving at a country fair and parking in a field. I want to park on the side of the field that's currently in sunlight, but over the next hour will be shaded by those trees, near the gate but not too near the toilets, but not next to that patch of wet ground.

What kind of UI does the car need to have for me to specify exactly how and where I want it to park, without me actually driving it? Frankly I think this is level 6+. Level 5 is usually described as a self driving taxi, but family vehicles are used for things no taxi would ever have to deal with.

Both journalism and video could be fixed with the same solution.

1) a standard oauth2 login system. One identity I can use to sign into all my streaming platforms.

1b) mint/manilla like management tools from the account provider for keeping track of subscriptions, bills, and what you are actually paying for.

2.5) something that can deduplicate when you are paying for the same content twice. It's very easy to end up paying 2 or 3 times for access to the same streams, whether they be viacom or fox or nbc. Once I pay for the rights to a library, I should be exempt from paying a second service again. Its very hard to see overlap, when youve signed up for access to the same libraries through multiple providers.

3) a rss/pubsub like standard for feeding video to a video player. Sure if I want to navigate to the Netflix app to see the netflix experience for browsing video, I can, but I should also be able to click videos and see all the videos I pay for across all services, in any library browser I choose.

Roku and Apple TV, and to some extent Amazon, have all somewhat recreated this experience for the user through sheer force, but it requires streaming platforms to be compatible with Roku and Apple and Amazons way of doing things. It's not an industry standard for 1) tracking licensing access 2) providing authenticated access to raw video. Anyone should be able to write a video player interface that can automatically interface with compatible video providers. Just like web browsers and websites.

And to the same extent, until paying, tracking, and access to journalism follows some kind of open standard, its just too hard to pay for access to tons of articles from a ton of providers. Ill gladly pay a la cart or through usage (not when I open a tab, but after i finish at least half an article?) And I know these kind of startups exist, but they are still proprietary, they arent a technology built right into the browser and and into each news platform. I should be able to prove I pay for a news site, and get the content, without the site caring what browser/librarymanager I am using.

In essence, the frontend newsreader/videoplayer should be completely decoupled from the backend content provider infrastructure, and both ends should be infinitely interchangable and compatible.
I second this, the lady I went to took around 80 different pictures, and she was telling me how to stand (where to place my feet, shoulders, turn my head, smile - even though the photo was chest-up the placement of the feet were important) and was very encouraging with "Smile! Oh wow, that's great!". Later on we reduced it to several photos by sorting out the ones I wouldn't like at all and going "Photo A or photo B?" through the ones we had left.

A stiff passport photo would've been boring...

Canadian English is not my first language! "Meat", "Giant", "Maple" and "Leaf" can all be nouns, and some of them can be adjectives. With everything in that sentence being flexible words, and "maple leaf" not standing out, you can't parse that sentence in order.

Canadian - I'm with you

Meat - Ok, Canadian meat!

Giant - I'm not sure here, is Giant a kind of Canadian meat?

Maple - huh... ?

Leaf - I'm really getting lost here

It isn't until I get to the "Burger" that I'm starting to realize we're talking about a "meat giant" company and that company is named "Maple Leaf." I get that if you know all companies in all countries, you probably recognize Maple Leaf, but I had not heard of them before, so it took some logic to interpret a sentence that, in my opinion, should be understandable the first time you read it, without making assumptions (or having explicit knowledge about a specific company.) If only "Maple Leaf" was capitalized, it would've been instantly recognized as a company name, and the "meat giant" descriptor would've been logical.
You're greatly limiting your career potential with this mindset. Soft skills matter too. If you want to advance in your career you need people to pull you up, you'll never get the necessary contacts with this kind of attitude.
