Isn't it both? There are only X spots per school. Every person being helped up and admitted is someone being pulled back and denied. I have no opinion on this debate, but school admissions are a zero-sum-game, afaik.
have you thought about yxhvp though?
You still get the score for how well you did.

You don't get your "adversity score" which is not based on how well you did, but only on where you live and what high school you attend.
Exactly once delivery is not a thing, and confluent needs to stop openly lying to people about it. At least once delivery and idempotence is not the same, and has existed forever.

Calling it “exactly once” is marketing BS. It’s the same as Oracle claiming for years to support serializable transactions when they didn’t, except that one is technically possible, they just didn’t support it in actuality.
I got your point, but the analogy is reversed, I.M. Pei became well known way before Bruce Lee :)
The thing that I will never understand is that the incumbents with this attitude are still hurting themselves with these policies. Even if they own a home and are protected by Prop 13 from large property tax increases, they still have to contend with all the rest of the problems that the housing crisis brings. Perhaps the fear of change overrides common sense, but I find it hard to believe that, rationally, the neighborhood "changing in character", or home values dipping the slightest bit, would be worse than the other negative realities that NIMBYs still experience here.

I believe this is pretty true, cause I was interviewing with FB and I brought up some of those questions.

Before the scandal broke out, I didn't really know much about Zukerberg's view on privacy. The scandal definitive rose my awareness on this topic.

But the questions for me is less on FB's approach to privacy, but more on how much is Zukerberg dictating the company. In other words, how much are FB employees empowered to do what's right, to fix their problems. Empowerment and autonomy is a very important for tech talents. FB is not presenting itself too well in this perspective.
Weird when you discover someone you really admire, only because you read their obit.
In academic literature about criminal law, "incapacitation" has the very specific meaning that somebody who is in jail is not able to commit crimes on the street. It has nothing to do with their health (even if they may suffer a health impact).
Mmm. Adding a tiny amount of sugar is pretty common to improve the rise and texture of bread.

As long as the bread dough is proofed for at least a couple hours, the vast majority of added sugar in non-sweet bread recipes will be consumed by the yeast leaving little residual sugar.

Yeast will consume sucrose, glucose and fructose first before moving onto the maltose from the broken down flour starch.

(In sweet breads where added sugar >5%, the sugar actually retards the fermentation process leaving a considerable amount of residual sugar, but you can't easily tell how much residual sugar from added sugar is in bread from the list of ingredients)
> I’m getting pushed further and further to the right.

Oh, do you think the right is going to improve upon the US's current system of incentivizing/forcing families to fight over/make big sacrifices for homes in the wealthiest school districts in order to give their children a half-decent shot at a good education? Or do you just want to be entitled to the good college in exchange for the childhood your parents chose to give/were coerced into giving you?
Pretty much the standard in most of Europe.
Yes, but you need a GPU to decode 4k video anyways.

CA HSR cost estimates aren't real (inflation adjusted) dollars, or current prices, its year of construction dollars. So future nominal price inflation over the anticipated timeline is built into the cost figures, as are future real increases including of right-of-way acquisition in places where that will be necessary which have increasing real estate values.
Google makes a lot of genuinely useful products and services. We've all got to wrestle with the privacy tradeoffs of "free" maps, "free" email, "free" Android, etc. But at least the satisfaction of using well-built tools to accomplish more is enough of an offset to many people.

Facebook is much more likely to be seen as a guilty pleasure, or a marvelous time-waster, or something else that's a bit farther down the utility curve.
I think people are really missing their point.

You show the change in net worth, but they're saying that they see savings as different and I get what they mean.

Person 2 in your example has the same net worth but not the same access to the money. If a sudden bill comes in then being $2k lower in my debt vs $2k in a savings account are functionally very different.

That's not to say one is right or wrong, but they are different.
Totally agree. There are dozens of companies that aggregate user information (Google amongst them). Like @bognition said, FB lost its cool a while ago.

The sign wasn't kidding. Leave any skeletons from people who thought it was in place and that will be warning enough.
The bay area has a high concentration of wealth where average salaries are almost twice the rest of the country. Programmers there make $300,000 or more. That's a doctor or lawyer in other areas of the nation.

I don't think high vacancy rates are the problem, I think they are a symptom.

Most of the people in this thread are only looking at the bay area from the past dozen years or so. In 2002, the picture was much different. In 1999, it was the opposite of 2002.

When you've lived in an area for decades, you can pick and choose where and when you buy. If you just moved there for a job, you're stuck without that time diversification and leverage ladder used by the folks who have lived there for a long time and accumulated many properties.

>It's all here, and you can delete it (including batch delete by period or source)

That scratches the surface, but an iceburg hides underneath. For one, how do we know its all the data? For another, there is no indication as to who has seen it or how Google uses it. That is my point. Google has never detailed those things..I suppose for legal reasons. A user has a right to know exactly what they are trading with Google in exchange for free services. They can then make up their own mind if they think its worth it. I'm just picking on Google here, because its a soft target, but it should apply to any service. We need new privacy regulations to formalize this.

> Noddy being associated with small children's reading has led to "Noddy" being sometimes used as an adjective meaning "petty or trivial" (compare with "Mickey Mouse"), for example, in computer programming: "This simultaneous linear equation subroutine crashes out on the Noddy case when n = 1, but otherwise it works." or "Remember to check all the Noddy cases."
Agreed. If we go full in on game streaming we can kiss actually preserving the art goodbye entirely. At least with streaming of non interactive media we can rip it to a hard drive somewhere.
I was surprised more because I thought it was pretty well settled.
I use it in my home LAN to access file shares. (Linux desktops and a Linux server.) Is would be used between 'nix servers and clients? Is it something that would be useful on the home LAN?
Yep, that's indeed my perspective, and I think that mindset dismisses the effort required to deliver closed-source binaries with long-term support.
> There's a lot of talk about SF<->LA, but the only concrete plan is (was?) Merced<->Bakersfield

No, the only place construction is actively underway is Merced-Bakersfield. The whole SF-LA line is just as much actively doing planning and environmental clearance and seeking funding for actual construction as ever.

> Devil's advocate: do you think children who lack families that provide such advantages must necessarily "suffer" as a consequence of that lack?

As for me, of course not. I don't want other kids to suffer. And I'm sure it's the same for everyone else.

But why should I or my children who did the right things (study, sacrifice, etc) suffer because some faceless bureaucrats gets to decide who get an advantage via a 'secret' score?
Hahaha. TLDR: Google asked a designer take home question. Candidate did a phenomenal job. Google still rejected candidate. Candidate turned the take home assignment into a real startup.

Just goes to say how much the industry sucks at evaluating candidates in general. This would have been a phenomenal candidate.
Note that it's possible to force a flat namespace for Mach-O through a variety of linker flags and DYLD environment variables. And I'm not sure if it does everything you'd want it to, but you can use DYLD_INSERT_LIBRARIES to preload Mach-O dynamic libraries as well.
I think this idea of quantifying adversity is worse than that. I'd say "on a scale of magenta to 100 how west is jello?"
I recently completed an interview junket. One of the companies I really wanted to get into gave me a take home. I completed it in the time they said it would take, submitted it, and then got bounced out. My inside source said that the submissions are run through an acceptance test suite (not exposed to the interviewee, of course) that can automatically bounce people out of the process with no or little human intervention.

PROTIP: don’t do that.
100ms is pretty bad in shooter. Around 60-70 is where I cant distinguish the difference. But I am very far from a great player.

I can see this working very well for games like Total War where hardware specs are super high but response time is not critical
Something I've never seen JIT proponents talk about is the cost of maintaining all of the information necessary to make smart specialization decisions, both in terms of storage space and in the execution overhead of updating that info. I actually have no idea how this is done (as I've never researched JIT compilers).
I am baffled as to why people are saying that we are about to allow people to become immortal when we have zero evidence that we cam extend the natural lifespan at all. Today, there is not a single medicine that people can take because it extends lifespans.

I am obviously not counting regular medicine like vaccines and antibiotics etc, they increase our likelihood of reaching the natural lifespan limit but do not extend the limit.

When they can show that some treatment extends the limit from around 120 to something like 150, then come back and talk about immortality. Although even then, there is a big difference between immortality and adding a mere 30 years! Oh, and those extra years had better not be as a bed bound senile in a nursing home. They can better be quality years, otherwise there is no point in bothering.

These studies are always done on people who were undeterred by the possibility of incarceration in the first place.

It’s hard to imagine a bigger selection bias. It’d be like testing the efficacy of a drug, but only on patients for whom it didn’t work the first time.

What is an interactive movie and how does having a game stream from a remote server change a video game into one of these things?
It's not an assumption of hypocrisy. It genuinely is hypocrisy. A group of people are praising themselves for their inclusivity, while pushing for exclusionary policies. If they want to pursue these policies without being hypocritical then they need to change their messaging to be transparent about their desire for exclusion rather than inclusion.

Yes? Ever heard of school vouchers? The political right would love to reform the education system, from teachers unions to university professors, the entrenched interests are core Democrat voting blocs.
Im all ears to be convinced this won’t be a proxy almost exclusively for race.
And a sufferer of cryptorchidism.
Specifically on freedom of speech, the left and right oscillate tons based on who is feeling more authoritarian (the other axis). A small, very vocal portion of the identity-politics left is currently very authoritarian and anti freedom of speech but I think that's a specific current internet-influenced trend and not to do with a wider shift of the overton window on issues in general.
There are so many solutions that are possible if we are honest about underlying problems. For example, minority children are more likely to live in places with high lead exposure - lead has devastating consequences on brain development - and presumably future SAT scores.

This is the real scandal. It is possible to convince a doctor to provide a disability. This gives advantages on the test, such as extra time. The abnormal testing is not reported to colleges.

Probably the only solution here is to offer those advantages to everybody. If you want double time, you should get it. If you want food during the test, you should get it. Whatever it is, let everybody have it. Anything less makes a mockery of "standardized" testing.
While I'm not going to dispute Japanese engineering prowess, I do have to note that a lot of the construction going on in Japan is pure pork-barrel politics. The Chuo Maglev under construction from Tokyo to Nagoya is never expected to recoup its exorbitant construction costs, and all new Shinkansen lines & expressways under construction or opened in the last 20 years are bleeding red ink.
Who is a “vibrant individual.”
I wondered what exactly they meant by "ultra-processed" foods. I looked into it, and found that they were using the NOVA classification system:

It has a reasonable explanation of what is meant by ultra-processed.
IMHO: No. Way more important would be a high-speed BART for the Bay area, and an equivalent for LA. Most people would benefit from it; instead, an SF-LA high-speed with slow "local" public transport would only benefit a few.
"You're thinking academic aptitude is the only thing the SATs should measure and report"

Maybe if they had changed its name to the "admissions desirability test," people wouldn't be so aggravated by this.
But these aren't advances. We're talking about a reduction in quality of life. If we want to reduce the amount of meat people eat because it's a major contributor to climate change, then we'll have to do this through taxes or other such means. If Russia doesn't want to go along with it and has their people eat as much meat as they want then the US would be powerless.

What you suggest only works if you're talking about improving quality of life.
Looks like Bakersfield won't become that booming metropolis that everyone was expecting it to be. ;-/

More seriously, the feds seem to be kind of right; it has been 9 years and California hasn't made much if any progress.
It's amusing how you and alexhutcheson both corrected me in opposite directions.

For reasons Alex explains, interrupt handlers have to be really minimal. So you often use them to set state that makes the main loop branch off into the "real" handler.

But even then, you often don't want to wait a long time in that handler either. That too becomes a short-running event handler (though not necessarily a callback). Just not as extremely short running as it would have to be if did it in the interrupt handler.
Can we all stop using Medium now?
Event streams between decoupled systems is kind of the sweet spot for Kafka. It's extremely easy to scale horizontally, and handles distributed work and network partitions in an easy to reason about way. I've also seen Rabbit be the bottleneck before where I've never really seen Kafka be the bottleneck in an architecture - it's very analogous to a firehose. For organizations shuttling messages and events between teams, it makes a very convenient lingua franca.

What is the argument you are making there? That renewables do not now come close to fulfilling US energy needs? That's true, but it's no reason to think that doing so is impossible.

Or are you arguing that they never can do so? If you are arguing that, I must disagree.
> I know a couple pilots personally who don't often bother with ILS unless the conditions are bad

Because it is a pain.

Every pilot has to learn to do visual approaches.

I think it just makes one thing apparent though. If we go to fully automated flying then there must ALSO be a visual check. In fact we can make it better than humans because we should make sure that the plane can see through fog. But key point is that there is always some redundancy built in.
No one disputes that Google has its tentacles in many pots -- and definitely needs to be kept on a leash. But the claim was that Google was not just a matter of concern -- somehow a clearly bigger threat than FB.

Can anyone provide substantiation for that claim?

Ha, first thing I thought of when I saw a Facebook struggling to hire post is blind. If any reason is causing people to not interview with facebook, I would argue it was the weekly burnout thread that was happening on blind last year.
I question whether we can do better. I don’t think pointing to other countries is helpful. The murder rate in the US was 10x higher than in the U.K. even at the turn of the 20th century. Long before ideas of prison as a place for rehabilitation, which came about in the 1950s and 1960s.

It’s important to remember that American incarceration is a lagging trend, not a leading trend. Incarceration rates were flat for a long time before trending up in the 1970s. That followed about a decade behind a long period of increase in crime that started in the 1960s and lasted through the 1990s.
Yes, and to add to this: most landowners don't benefit from upzoning; only a few do. That's why, in general, most of them oppose upzoning.
The definition of poverty indeed needs to be redefined for today’s standards of living, however I don’t think the title of this article is much more than clickbait. Sure, it could shrink. It could also grow or stay the same - highly speculative.
I'm by no means an expert on Foucault, but I highly recommend learning about some of his ideas or even better, read some of writings. You may not come away agreeing with him (especially right away) but his ideas on freedom deeply impacted me.

You'll see him criticized and reviled in many philosophical circles as being the epitome of post-modernism (which has (unfairly IMHO) become a bit of a dirty word in some cultures), but don't let that scare you. I believe (mostly from reading analysis from people much smarter than me, like Thaddeus Russell) that Foucault is widely misunderstood.

I’ve long had the inverse view - I’m not sure what good use cases there are for Rabbitmq that couldn’t be handled better by a Kafka cluster.

One company I worked with used Kafka as their central source of truth across the organisation. All events generated by users were thrown into a massive Kafka cluster. Each team in the organisation cared about a different view into that data (financials, marketing, fraud, what we display to that user on the website, etc). Each team would ingest the same kafka queue and do different things with it - often consuming certain events into their own Postgres instance, or other things like that.

I used Kafka when I made my reddit r/place clone a few years ago because it gives great read and write amplification. With Postgres as a central source of truth, you can only handle thousands of writes per second. And reads will slow down the instance. With Kafka you can handle about 2M/sec. And reads can really easily be serviced from other machines - you can just have a bunch of downstream Kafka instances consuming from the root, and serving your readers in turn.

It may be that you can also solve all these problems with a well configured rabbitmq cluster. But coming from a database world I find it more comfortable to reason about architecture, performance and correctness with Kafka.
It’s a defined part of the language semantics.
