The justification is that it was already decided that, for whatever reason(s), there was a benefit to allow these students to study in the US. They were given a spot at a university that could have gone to someone else, and resources have been expended on getting them through the process toward graduation.

If we create obstacles or burdens that stand in the way of completing that education, it serves to jeopardize the returns on the investment we've made.

If it was in the US's best interests to let them start, it's in the US's best interests to give them best odds of finishing. Let them choose whether or not to return to their home country as best fits their individual situation.

Several trends make scavenging less attractive than it once was:

• There won’t be as much information. With the shift to e-mail and online documentation, there are fewer interesting paper documents, and the ones that remain, when no longer needed, are more likely to be shredded by the trucks that have become an everyday sight in business districts.

• There won’t be as much equipment. Governments require e-waste to be kept out of the normal solid waste stream, and online markets such as eBay have made it more rewarding to sell surplus items to asset recovery companies, rather than just throwing them away.

• You’re more likely to get caught. Low-cost, high-quality video surveillance, with automated and remote monitoring, has made it routine to cover trash rooms, dumpster enclosures, and similar areas that might, in the past, have been monitored only at the most sensitive facilities.

> I think the larger point the author was trying to make was don't give lip service to specifically going out of your way to try and help Black founders if you're still going to use the exact same credentialing signals you always do: track record where someone has worked, name brand of their school, etc.

I think that's the mistake all these companies are making. They need to make it clear if it's their intent to help black founders, provided, all other things are equal / held constant.

That is if two people have the same or similar background and qualifications but they just happened to be different race then to not always pick the white guy cause, hey, we look alike or belonged to the same frat.

It should leave no room for interpretation as: "hey, you're black, let me throw some money at you cause you happen to be black."
> Compatibility is an illusion. Most people tend to date until they have an idea of "what they don't want". Once they know and they find someone who checks the boxes, they settle down.

I don't see how this suggests compatibility is an illusion. You just described another way of finding someone who is compatible. Personally I already had a mental checklist of everything I wanted out of a relationship, no dating around was necessary to know those things. Just basic introspection. I ended up marrying my second girlfriend and I would say the relationship is 100% perfect.

Also, it might not be actually possible -- or at least be quite risky for the student. Whenever you enter the US, border agents have almost unlimited authority as to whether you are allowed in, especially as a student. Speaking as someone who's spent years going through this process, every time you have to enter the states, even if all your paperwork is in order and there are zero rational reasons for you to be denied entry, you're still worried about it. Some border agents are friendly and let you through quickly, and some grill you like you're trying to forcefully invade their country. I had a friend (who was on a work visa, not even a student one) who taught English as a Second Language at a US high school, who was told by a border agent that she's lucky he's letting her through this time, because they shouldn't allow foreigners to teach English at American schools.

That's not to even mention that when you're on an F-1 student visa, you can legally renew it while remaining in the US even while the visa stamp in your passport has already expired. But once you leave the US, you have to have a valid visa stamp in your passport in order to reenter, even if you already have a valid F-1 visa document approved and signed by all the right people. This means that, in your home country, you'll need to make an appointment, spend hours lining up at the US embassy (if they're even open due to COVID), then go through the interview process (which you have to repeat every single time you renew your passport visa stamp) in order to get that stamp reissued.

Once, after already having spent years in the US on a student visa, I was actually turned back during that interview because the particular consular officer on duty that day decided that I needed to provide a detailed printed transcript of my American high school experience. I had to leave the interview, schedule a second appointment, and have the printed transcript ready at that time. All of this is to say that not only would requiring students to go through this process simply because their universities aren't offering physical classes during COVID will not only cause intense stress, but also will probably result in some students not making it back into the country for arbitrary reasons.

It's definitely going to take some work. I have set up my first NixOS install, and the functionality is very impressive, but usability-wise it is a mess.

I think Nix/Guix is going to be the bridge to the post-POSIX world where we can move away from the trend of a globally visible filesystem and into much stronger container-based approach. But it can't be in its current form; the Nix language and Guix's Guile/Scheme are too difficult and not declarative enough.

I'm not sure how fake data is substantially different from any other part of a fake paper. Just like how randomly-generated sentences might sound reasonable, faked data might look like real data. In both cases, we expect peer review to engage and to consider how data was sourced. This happened in the "Who's Afraid of Peer Review?" incident [0], where the offending papers were intentionally designed to have many red flags that would have helped reviewers understand that the data was bogus.

More worryingly, data cannot model itself, so the quality of data should be largely irrelevant to any models which purport to explain it; as a result, a paper's contribution to science needs to be structured to work with other results, and cannot simply proclaim that its modelling is correct because some given equation fits the observed data. To pick a situation where your expertise shines, imagine that somebody submits a paper about a 3-SAT solver, and they include data that shows their solver doing not just extremely well on standard problem sets, but asymptotically scaling better than exponentially. The reason that you might doubt the honest presentation of the data is because you know, from having studied the field, that such behavior is unlikely.

I can then interact with that video separately from the page. I can scroll around on the page, I can open other links. It decouples the video from the page.

It does exist for Windows (i.e. I compiled and ran Flutter app on Windows).

It's just slightly behind macOS and Linux in maturity.

In general desktop support is "early alpha" quality.

I'm hoping that in a year or two Flutter will be a solid option for mac/linux/windows desktop apps.

For now we have to accept that it's an alpha quality software.
This can't really be vectorized without -ffast-math regardless. Notice that even with gcc, it's only vectorizing the multiply, and the adds are still scalar. This probably isn't that much of an improvement over the scalar code.

-ffast-math allows the multiply-adds to be reassociated, enabling much better approaches. Clang with -O2 -ffast-math produces good code (vfmadd132ps with 4 independent accumulators), I can't get GCC to produce good code with any flags.

You do raise an interesting point about anti-aliasing adding to weights creating an "equivalent weight" of sorts to the font.

As far as I know, -webkit-font-smoothing doesn't change weight, it changes rasterization. What you describe in Photoshop also isn't weight, it's rasterization.[1]

It is true that these settings control the rasterization, but it is also true and a well-known problem that different rasterizations (and in particular, the default rasterizations on different platforms) can result in different apparent font weights.

As you noted in your longer top-level comment, this doesn't actually seem to be the problem the original author encountered here, though.
Yes. Exactly this. If a VC is going to use the same filters for inbound deals. The same networks to connect to founders, the same metrics and stats. Then all their rhetoric is BS.
Still it's an improvement over the current situation. Using snap IMHO only makes sense with closed-source or Open-source software that you don't want to self-compile but at the same time there is only a package available for a different distribution. So a typical installation procedure might be to forcibly install it with dpkg while ignoring the dependencies which cannot be resolved automatically. (Or worse, convert rpm to deb and then install it...) Of course the source is still downloadable, on the other hand, reproducible builds are anyway far from standard. I would prefer snap any time over other more crude installation methods if compiling is not viable.

> the first line is now trivially parallelizable by most auto-vectorizers

It’s not that trivial to vectorize, would be something like this for SSE:

const __m128 x = _mm_loadu_ps( px );
// Rotate the lanes
__m128 xPrev = _mm_shuffle_ps( x, x, _MM_SHUFFLE( 2, 1, 0, 3 ) );
// Insert the highest lane of previousStepX into lowest lane of xPrev
// The IMM number means extract lane 3, insert into lane 0, don't zero out any lanes
xPrev = _mm_insert_ps( xPrev, previousStepX, 0b11000000 );
const __m128 halfSum = _mm_mul_ps( _mm_add_ps( x, xPrev ), _mm_set1_ps( 0.5f ) );
previousStepX = x;

Which compiler do you think would do that automatically?

> it is to provide an upgrade path for users of Chromium in previous Ubuntu releases to the latest Ubuntu release without breaking Chromium.

Are you seriously, unironically claiming this?

You broke a massive amount of native plugins. The snap auto-update mechanism fucks up Chromium's data each time because Chromium gets no warning that it suddenly can't write to the disk. Its launch time is also way worse. On top of all that, Chromium just vomits all over syslog due to incomplete/bad confinement. You even made the damn switch when a massive CVE was found in Chromium, delaying a critical security update for a week due to the switch.

What a massive load of bullshit.

Basically we need to stop burning fossil fuels and spread rock dust. Short of some miracle, humanity is screwed.
I would call the government enforcing the basic requirements of a visa "cruel".

Put another way, currently the government is not issuing any non-immigrant visas EXCEPT for student visas. Those students just have to comply with rule that they can't take an entirely online course of study, which has always been the case. The government requires students take at least some in person classes is to enforce the security requirements of the visa.

Indeed. For every new job, new project, and new professional relationship, you have to be willing to ask yourself "what can I learn from this experience?" Learning is often best done when you are working on problems you don't yet know how to solve.

But there is a countervailing force, which is the pressure to appear confident and that you know what you are doing. Being transparent about your ignorance, but confident in you're ability to learn is a difficult balance to pull off.
