They might adjust their admission picks until e.g. aggregate ethnic/racial admission stats look the same as before, but at the same time picking more of the rich, well-connected black/other minority kids and fewer of the poor but hardworking ones.

I'm not arguing for their elimination. I'm sharing anecdotal evidence that they weren't useful for me and probably people like me who got an adequate education and had access to a local community college and a library.

Re: uneven distribution of education. This is the fundamental problem and standardized tests don't actually address the root cause. We really shouldn't be confused about what skills and concepts people need to learn up until high school and the rigor with which they need to learn them. Addressing this confusion is a hard problem so post high school standardized tests end up being the band aid. We can keep the tests and work to address the underlying root causes for uneven educational outcomes. Test preparation industry is essentially a form of tax on something that we should have democratized by now.
Love content like this, just goes to show that we're really just scratching the surface of dev products and startups.

Kinda like cockroach db and hasura built very well funded startups around open source products.
This is the most puzzling aspect. Not sure how anyone could claim with a straight face Harvard unfairly discriminates against Asian applicants.

There's definitely something else going on here.
Also worth noting that Haskell's type system is too powerful for monomorphization to work as an implementation strategy for generics in all cases. In particular, polyorphic recursion[1] means that attempting to just monomorphize anything wouldn't necessarily terminate.

Higher rank types also break this, as you can define things like:

newtype GenericThing = GenericThing (forall a. [a] -> a)

doManyGenericThings :: [GenericThing] -> [a] -> [a]

doManyGenericThings things list = map (\GenericThing f -> f list) things

Here, `doManyGenericThings` takes a list of generic functions, and applies each of them to its argument. You can't just monomorphize it, because you'd have to somehow also monomorphize every argument it is ever passed, which is a dynamic property that you can't know in advance (and again, may not be a finite set).

Quoting Wikipedia as evidence, nice.

Actually in the recent Model S test prior to this one, Tesla discovered through examination of the data logs of the car that the EPA had carelessly left the key in the car all night while it was parked during testing that spanned multiple days, leading to an artificially low number as the car was unable to sleep at the level it normally should be able to when parked.

This whole episode happened because the EPA was doing the testing… I don't know where that leaves your anecdote. It's just false, I think. I love Wikipedia and even have a monthly donation to them, but your link is not reflecting what happened with Tesla here.

You can use the courts as a redress against bad regulations, but you have significantly less input into what generates those regulations, especially since the FDA is not a deliberative body.

GitHub to replace the term “master” with “main”
This recent trend of eliminating the SAT/ACT reads to me like: “Let’s eliminate these measures that allow high performing students to objectively differentiate themselves, in favor of a more opaque admissions process where we can implement discriminatory policies without scrutiny.”
Basecamp launches an email service with a manifesto
Your sarcasm is not appreciated. This is a serious matter, and that fact that you can't bring yourself to empathize with people being brutalized reflects very poorly on your ethical code. It's not meaningless at all to point out that actions have consequences, and in this case they are measured in human suffering.

If folks at GitHub believe they offer a product of value (which I suspect that they do), then the necessary corollary is that by offering that product to an agency responsible for a reprehensible abrogation of human rights makes it easier, cheaper, and/or faster for that agency to degrade humanity. To stick one's fingers in one's ears and claim that it is "apolitical" to continue to do business with such an agency is embarrassingly similar to the defenses that IBM executives must have made in the 1930's.

> I’m surprised rust went with macros instead of something like comptime - though I assume there’s some trade offs I’m not aware of.

Rust has procedural macros which are Rust libraries built and run compile time that can transform raw tokens into valid Rust code (or more raw tokens for nested macros). Procedural macros can annotate any statement or code block - although some specific ones might still be on nightly only.
Unclear to me.

If QI was a law, the supremacy clause would certainly apply.

But QI is not a law, however it is a policy created by the courts based on federal law. It’s not clear to me whether the supremacy clause applies here, but I suspect it does.
One of the most interesting and efficient “network” (not really networking) events I went to was a after-hours meetup at a LGBTQ+ leadership conference. After a brief presentation about sexual liberation, everyone wrote exactly what they were looking for on a name tag. People put everything from “someone to have lunch with tomorrow” to “voyeur seeking exhibitionists.”

Amazingly, everyone I talked to the next day to got more or less what they were looking for, whether that was something sexual or just a new friend.

Its not an exact comparison. We use models to analyse the economy but not human behavior. Any sport is a lot about human intelligence, behavior, and skill. Easy to quantify the final output (like numbers that matter such as goals) and compare those. Right now, other than that, we dont have good enough models for any action in football. The context is very important, but that is completely ignored by statistics. Until we get where those things are given due consideration, there is no point quoting or debating over vanity metrics like xG, offensive actions etc. There is a very American tendency to reduct a game to just stats, but that a game is infinitely more complex. You may have just one offensive action in the game and yet still win the game if you are well drilled defensively, and can stop opposition counters.

It's not really fair to compare the NBA to Harvard. The NBA is a for-profit institution in the entertainment business that is interested in drafting the most talented players to get the most views and therefore, the most most money.

Harvard is a non-profit institute that seeks to create a diverse & successful that leave a mark on the world, which therefore upholds the eliteness of Harvard.
> * Note that in these examples we have to use inline(never) to defeat the optimizer. Without this it would turn these simple examples into the exact same machine code. I'll explore this phenomenon further in a future episode of this series.*

I’m really eager to use more rust, but three optimizations really turn me off. Optimizing the compiler feels like meta programming.

Depends on the model. For Model 3, they generally sandbag (underestimate). For some versions of Model S, they have inflated in the past. For this version, I don't think we outside of Tesla know yet. They have plausible reasons to go either way. YMMV.

there are many companies and roles which require you

service that you worked on.

I got my first job as a programmer in 2001 and not once was I asked that. I'm sure they exist but I wouldn't count on that being so common as to significantly impact the OP's career prospects.

Two things I've most often noticed people care about when hiring:

1. experience with the exact tech / field that they're hiring for

2. having brand-name job experience (google, amazon, etc).

It's sad but you'll probably get better mileage from having worked on a useless prestige/pet project at google using fashionable tech than a critical system written with JavaEE & serving a lot of high-value customers at Alliance Generic Insurance Services Corp.
That compute isn't free - it comes at the opportunity cost of being sold to a paying customer so it makes sense to price it internally even if it is "virtual"
So you all knew about optimizations 10x a data scientist salary, but didn't act on them?

Actually good that the company hired him then.
I'd say the biggest difference is that I feel like I'm not held back in terms of focus and energy. This isn't to say I have a ton of energy; I don't. (that's a separate thing) But the energy I have isn't held back by messing with my circadian rhythm.

I'd liken it feels going to a more "normal" schedule to...someone who feels fine waking up at 7am every day, shifting to then waking up at 2am every day. It's probably not going to work out too great.
That's merely editorial flavor, nothing in the article presents facts different from those already brought into this thread.

Neither fallocate nor nodatacow will prevent taking snapshots. The result of writing to nodatacow shared extents is that the write must be COW, not an overwrite. Same as a reflink copy of a file on XFS. New "overwrites" are COW, subsequent overwrites are in fact overwrites.
Looking Forward for Feedback
Well, hopefully it doesn't cause reason to block the merger ex post. Disclosure upfront, I'm nothing more than a satisfied T-Mobile customer that switched away a couple of years ago from AT&T. No other interests in this race.

Sprint was a shambling zombie, and any public policy measure that could be undertaken to make Sprint something other than a shambling zombie, and in particular, into a viable competitor would have rewarded Sprint for well, not being competitive.

Out of the four major carriers we used to have, we had 2.5 well capitalized competitors with large customer bases and Sprint, a shambling zombie. T-Mobile put together an offer, tendered it to Sprint, and it was accepted, and out of the many ways that Sprint could have been gobbled up by one of its larger and better competitors, T-Mobile serving as daddy to Sprint's mommy was about the best outcome you could have gotten. This puts their customer base, assuming the Sprint customers stay, at relatively equal footing with Verizon and AT&T, and more customers = increased cash flow, and increased cash flow keeps them operating in the black and hopefully with room to invest.

I don't care if we have three or four or five major wireless carriers right now so long as I can be satisfied with one of them where I live and work. T-Mobile's "Uncarrier"-like lack of billing shenanigans was one of the things that put them over the edge when I decided to bite the bullet and switch carriers. Also, with StarLink and maybe other systems like it possibly coming online and into service in the next couple of years, I'm not at all convinced it's going to matter that we only have three major "cell carriers" going into the next decade. Let T-Mobile keep all its customers, all of the spectrum they acquired. They paid for it, and I expect them to put it to use on behalf of their customers.
This is not complete true. Most combustion cars perform best around 90km/h. Below that speed air resistance is not much of an issue but gears help a lot getting the best performance out of the engine.
This is called cross-org transfer pricing. It's a common practice in accounting. In fact, imagine a company where this doesn't happen. Retail decides that they can "excessively" use AWS. This contributes to waste and problematic accounting when it comes time to report finances.

From the post, the "attackmap" always looks like that and downdetector was showing that those sites were down for T-Mobile users. Other than that, the only report listed was an anonymous Twitter account.
Some people self study and pass GRE subject tests without having done the relevant undergraduate degree. Especially in fields such as mathematics and physics where testing results are easily quantified, this is a gradually growing long-term threat to the credentialing power of universities.

If an independent company comes along that can reliably get students to equivalent GRE subject test scores in a hard science most quickly than the university itself does, the result could be many of the best students stop applying. Some would just take the nontraditional route, save a fortune, ace their GREs and apply as a graduate student. Others would take their tests as evidence of their skills and and go directly into industry.

Making this move now, before such a challenger exists seems like a "good" idea from the selfish perspective of universities.
Can't Apple's email do almost all of Basecamp's new Hey email's top features?
I thought when they said they use existing wireless communication technology, they meant something like Microsoft's distributed signal processing arrays:

Perhaps using 4G and GSM signal quality as an ad-hoc doppler or metric for precipitation. Is their landing page inaccurate? Are they no different from other companies (besides the good at sales and marketing bit)? They seem to have a lot of big names on their customer list.
This… might actually work. Thanks!
You might enjoy reading all the things that Marty Cagan has written about product management. I think he has a good take on what it means to be a good PM, and what you're describing sounds like what he calls a Feature Team [1]. Unfortunately, it's really common to be in an organization like this where the roadmap is driven by outside stakeholders, and product managers are treated like project managers who just implement their ideas.

Belle Vie Skin Care {#1 Skik Care} Reviews,(Free Trail) “Side Effects and Buy”
What is Belle Vie Skin Care?

Belle Vie Skin Care is an enemy of maturing recipe that has really been clinically detailed by masters to treat the pointers of maturing on your skin to ensure that you can look youthful just as feel stunning. It has been made with the best fixings to reestablish the gleaming and firm skin just as lift the absolute appearance to improve your skin high caliber just as make you look eye-getting. Belle Vie Skin Care is the best equation to treat all the recognizable signs of maturing that appear on the skin and furthermore make it look worn just as dull.

How does Belle Vie Skin Care work?

Belle Vie Skin Care works by giving whole collagen atom to the skin. At the point when we age, the collagen from our skin begins declining just as the UVA and UVB beams from the outside setting further decays the skin top notch bringing about wrinkles and furthermore extraordinary lines. Belle Vie Skin Care is copious in peptides because of which it remakes and strengthens the skin cells to make it look restored and furthermore youthful. It incorporates a ton of supplements and enemies of oxidants which resuscitates the shine on your skin.

There are 24,000 high schools in the US (not even considering international students) with wildly varying grading standards. You have one applicant from Podunk City High School, valedictorian with a 4.0. Is that ... good? How does it compare to the thousands of other kids with 4.0s you have applying?

I'm completely sympathetic to the idea that grades should be a better predictor of performance than one day of testing, but in practice the grades have a lot of flaws too.
How to help the mars rover AI to traverse the Red Planet
If you follow through on this thought further you end up in the realm of the dynamic languages with very strong metaprogramming capability - the Lisps and Forths. With these, the reduction of the language is so complete that changing domains to the meta-mode is as easy as falling off a log. And nothing stops these languages from having a combination of useful static checks, high performance output, and fluidity of expression: they are powerful enough to be parsers at one instant, code generators at another, and optimizers at a third.

The main reason not to do it that way is the "you're on your own" nature of dynamism, in and of itself. If you don't come up with a good structure for checking things, the language isn't going to do it for you. And this is fine within the context of the quick hack or the home-grown type system, but less useful for proving broad, general properties about the code. Particularly when this is an industry where the majority of programmers are assumed to be hugely inexperienced, with less than 5 years under their belt, and trusted to build fairly complex systems.

Classical static type systems(your Pascal, Java, etc.) only really know the world in terms of combinations of primitives; they don't prove much beyond simple matching of input to output. But that's yesterday's approach - it's not what industry is looking towards.

What the newer static languages(of the Haskell and Rust ilk) have converged upon is to bolt a powerful constraint solver engine to the type-checking system, which in turn shapes the whole language around pleasing the type-checker. The resulting minimum code quality is often higher, but also semantically torturous.

I'm co-founder of Iterative.ai /DVC.org (open source tools for ML) and doing conferences/meetups is an essential part of the business for us (kinda marketing for dev tools). I would definitely recommend you to connect and talk to amazing folks from the https://tulu.la/ team. They are building (still in stealth) a product to run online events with experience as engaging as possible. I'm biased, since I know founders personally (and happy to be their friend!), but they started their company with this vision even before all this coronavirus stuff, they definitely have a big vision in mind for a long term and have been passionate about this space for years. An example would be this online conference they organized a while ago - https://divops.org/. I would happy to connect you (and I'll send a link to this conversation to them).
