Blazor is the first frontend component model framework built for the web that isn't older server-side templating and also not Javascript. Using a strong typed language like C# makes it very fast and productive, especially when reusing the same code and libraries with your server backend (something that was touted with node/JS but has been weighed down by the chaos of the JS ecosystem).

Blazor can also run in 2 modes:

1) server-side where the UI is controlled by a websocket (via SignalR) connection to the backend which processes all the logic. Developing complex interfaces becomes much easier because everything runs on the server and the distance between a database query and UI update is very short. Save the verbose JS->API->Backend layers of code.

2) client-side which uses cutting edge WebAssembly to run your app. The WASM version is getting smaller and faster with every release and isn't much bigger than your standard big SPA which also has megabytes of javascript these days. It has a great JSON library and can also support GRPC-Web now for easy RPC.
Yeh I know its not a limerick. I have seen a version of this as a true limerick in a book of 'science humor'. Looked for it but can't find. Every version online is this non-limerick version, presented as a limerick. I will update if I find the original.
More likely it's a calculated risk imo. With some internal company politics thrown in for good measure.
Are you trying to get students that can pass specific kinds of tests or students that will be successful? The two aren't strongly correlated. I'd argue successful builds more prestige for the university. And let's be real, everyone knows these tests are purposefully tricky. In the real world people don't give you multiple choices and try to trick you into picking the wrong answer and then laugh at you when you picked the one try tried to get you to pick (politics aside). In classes, unless your professor is an asshole, they aren't trying to trick you. Success depends on a lot of factors well beyond what these tests measure. This is why SAT and ACT don't measure success or even academic success (as in they don't strongly correlate [0][1] with success. This source should decent correlation with first year grades but not second).

I'm not sure why one would even think an academic test could determine success. One of the biggest lies many of us have been told is that if you're just smart enough you'll be successful. Sorry, but that's not how it works.

Look up which party has flagrantly gerrymandered countless districts in the last 20 years... there may be a few that have been redrawn by democrats, but the super-majority have been redrawn by republicans to amplify republican votes. It’s not even a close race regarding who is actually cheating to get elected. Also note that it was a conservative majority of the Supreme Court that said Federal Courts cannot interfere in partisan gerrymandering (a 5-4 vote). Also note which party challenged partisan gerrymandering.

Minor piece of anecdote: I have watched my great grandmother, my grandmother, and my mother age. They all look like they aged at different rates: my grandmother at 70 does not look as old as my great grandmother did at 70. My mother at 50 does not look as old as my grandmother did at 50.

Interesting article, IMO the single biggest "blind spot" gmail has that makes Hey look very attractive is the idea that users should be in control of the experience. Privacy is great, I think Hey's specific innovation goes beyond that though.
I applaud you for wanting to help him. The best thing you can probably do is to help him find the help he needs. I think that is probably a difficult position, but let him know that you think he's great, that he's doing a great job, and that you want to see help him get his personal life in order as well.

I'm not sure if you can make it a requirement for him keeping his job. Perhaps consult the local housing authority as well, and the two of you can work together.

I will say, don't go this alone. It's possibly too risky for either of you.

What's slightly funny is that De Niro explicitly doesn't have a New York accent when he says that famous line. If anything he's putting on a more neutral accent than his normal one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-QWL-FwX4t4
Another aspect of that: do not do functional programming then. There are statistics for .NET which surely also apply to most languages: 10 million C# devs, 1 million VB.NET devs and 100k F# devs. By requiring functional programming the candidate pool shrunk by a factor of 100.

There is certainly a higher factor of high talent in FP capable programmers but at the same time the risk for bad hires due to lacking people skills or overly dogmatic work style increases.
You have VS Code [1], and then there is the visual studio family of products [2] and then live-share [3].

[1] https://code.visualstudio.com/?wt.mc_id=DX_841432

[2] https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/

[3] https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/services/live-share/

Not sure you fully understand what the product called VS Code is, let alone its most interesting feature
We have a JIRA rule to close tickets if they are not likely to be worked on in the next 6 months.
In my experience: If you're developing anything outside of JS/TS/Web/Python, the experience in VSCode ranges from ok to totally broken. Which reflects the quality of the plugin ecosystem.

Can plugins really approach the productivity of a more specialized IDE like what JetBrains offers? I haven't seen any evidence that they can, but I'm open minded. The most powerful language support I've seen in VSCode is absolutely TypeScript, and its very good... but is it a plugin? Its not listed in my plugins, it "just works" upon a clean install. Do the Go, Rust, etc plugins just need another four years of work, or will they never approach the quality of TS in VSCode because TS is "built-in"?

And, to be frank, TS is only "very good". Its not "great" when compared to the support, for example, IntelliJ has for Java or VS has for C# when measuring things like the reliability and latency of intellisense and compiler feedback. Which, in my mind, represent the two most important things a code editor should do perfectly. When I have the question "wait, what's that io/ioutil function for reading the content of a file" in VSCode, I literally don't even consider typing "ioutil." and scrolling through the six functions in that package to get the answer, because I know before even trying that VSCode has a 20% chance of helping me. And that's a shame: Because this is by far the fastest way to get this answer; if it worked.

That's not even considering "latency from when I press a key to seeing the action on screen". VS Code is... fine. But my god its startling how much better Sublime is. It feels like spending an hour running on slightly damp soil, then suddenly finding a stretch of paved concrete. But, it lacks in the other productivity features I listed above, and I do think those are more important to get right, for the sole sake of productivity.

I mean, in short, if the next decade is VS Code As King, then it will be a sad decade. I don't trust that VS Code can solve these major issues it has had for four years. Code editors represent a top 3 item in the domain of developer productivity, and there's so much more work we need to do to get them right. We aren't there. And we'll probably never get there if we go all-in on VS Code. I'm so happy to see Panic try something different with their new Nova editor, and I hope we continue to see innovation in this space; not a VS Code monoculture.
I like him because he challenges the trans mafia. They tend to be unhinged and cause a lot of noise against anyone that doesn't submit to their fanatical views.
I used VsVim for a number of years and felt the same way. Eventually, I was back in vim full-time (moved on from the projects/team that required Visual Studio). I've spent the last year migrating to neovim. I've spent the last month getting into some C# development and the VS Code neovim integration is very well done. It's not the same, and I will not be switching to VS Code for anything other than this C# work (for the foreseeable future, I just really like neovim...), but it's not an emulation layer (with this plugin the VS Code editor is a neovim instance in the backend) and it doesn't feel like one, either.

>> In your example if the son of a lightweight boxer happens to be a heavy weight boxer he will not be made to fight with a lightweight boxer right?

I used that example to emphasize on the importance of having categories in the competition to ensure fairness. I do not wish to extend the analogy in a way it was not intended. Keeping the analogy aside, let me address the essence of your question.

The problem of caste discrimination is deep rooted and it existed for a very long period of time. Expecting a family to come out fully from the effects of the discrimination in a single generation is not reasonable.

>> You have created a system which never fully solved the root problem.

As I said earlier, the goal of the reservation system is not to solve the caste system. The creators of the system very well understood that a deep rooted social problem that existed for thousands of years can not be eradicated by a mere statute. The system was intended to serve as a crutch; not as a treatment for the broken leg. I am against using the crutch forever. I am also against removing the crutch without treating and healing the broken leg first.

>> You are talking as if that person witnessed the caste oppression for thousands of years.

The oppression still exists so as the effects of the oppression that they did not witness for thousands of years. 99% of the Hindus cannot become a priest in Tirupati Tirumala and most other temples. Inter caste marriage is still not widely accepted. Honor killings are still happening. The social and psychological effects of a thousand year old oppression is as powerful as the oppression itself.

>> If a lower caste family has become wealthy and rich due to reservation, how is their usage of caste based reservation for their grandkids really solving the root problem?

You are equating economic status to social status. I have explained the distinction in my previous comment. Again, the system is not intended to solve the root problem.
That doesn't make sense to me, such system would obviously get a percentage from each settlement/fine (e.g. 10%) to pay for the costs of running such system, the big cases would be the ones keeping the system afloat.

This is changing quickly with the covid pandemic. One of its silver linings is that I can't remember the last time I had to wait in line for one hour only to be told off by some exhausted bureaucrat about my missing grand-parents' birth certificate or whatever the hell they come up with.

JRE espouses beliefs that resonate with many people but have become more taboo in recent years which is partly why I think he is successful. It's reassuring to know that the extremists haven't completely won yet.

You're technically correct, but how do you think people would behave differently with ranked-choice voting?
A: vox isn't a valid news source for this kind of news.

B: "a survey of 2000 experts from around the world" is not a valid way to collect such data

And finally the actual article says:

"Its closest peers are, almost uniformly, radical right and anti-democratic parties. This includes Turkey’s AKP (a regime that is one of the world’s leading jailers of journalists), and Poland’s PiS (which has threatened dissenting judges with criminal punishment)."

Since concluding the Republican party is like those is ridiculous on it's face, one can only conclude this survey is garbage if it generates such results.

To be specific: the survey isn't measuring how the Republican party actually is. Rather it's measuring how these experts think the Republican party is - informed mainly by a liberal American media.

I've seen it over and over: Decide how you think the opponent will behave, then criticize them, in advance, as if they have already behaved that way.

Think about it: Do you think Republicans would "jail journalists" and "threaten judges with criminal punishment"? Next, think Did Republicans actually do that? And consider why your opinion on what you think they would do doesn't match what they actually did.

> No political party anywhere on earth has principles above getting elected.

If you only know the GOP and DNC i can understand why you'd think that
Not completely true. I worked in Wellington for a stint, and held a (mail-in) ballot from one of my friends in my own hands, and it was an absolute shitshow. Some local races absolutely used ranked choice, and not only that - you had to rank every single candidate or your vote wasn't counted.

It was my friend's ballot - she was in her early 20s, and she laughed and said "no wonder nobody fucking votes." She didn't vote in the election, and it kind of stuck with me.

Any election reform has to take into account the amount of work you're asking of voters, and it's what led me to eventually support approval voting over ranked systems.
While evidence is emerging, there are ongoing primate and human studies that suggest there is benefit to caloric restriction. This recent review is a good overview of current evidence, studies, and mechanisms:

Balasubramanian, Priya, Porsha R. Howell, and Rozalyn M. Anderson. “Aging and Caloric Restriction Research: A Biological Perspective With Translational Potential.” EBioMedicine 21 (June 19, 2017): 37–44. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ebiom.2017.06.015.

For primates, this is a good review:

Mattison, Julie A., Ricki J. Colman, T. Mark Beasley, David B. Allison, Joseph W. Kemnitz, George S. Roth, Donald K. Ingram, Richard Weindruch, Rafael de Cabo, and Rozalyn M. Anderson. “Caloric Restriction Improves Health and Survival of Rhesus Monkeys.” Nature Communications 8, no. 1 (January 17, 2017): 14063. https://doi.org/10.1038/ncomms14063.

Abstract: Caloric restriction (CR) without malnutrition extends lifespan and delays the onset of age-related disorders in most species but its impact in nonhuman primates has been controversial. In the late 1980s two parallel studies were initiated to determine the effect of CR in rhesus monkeys. The University of Wisconsin study reported a significant positive impact of CR on survival, but the National Institute on Aging study detected no significant survival effect. Here we present a direct comparison of longitudinal data from both studies including survival, bodyweight, food intake, fasting glucose levels and age-related morbidity. We describe differences in study design that could contribute to differences in outcomes, and we report species specificity in the impact of CR in terms of optimal onset and diet. Taken together these data confirm that health benefits of CR are conserved in monkeys and suggest that CR mechanisms are likely translatable to human health.

For human studies, here's a recent one:

Redman, Leanne M., Steven R. Smith, Jeffrey H. Burton, Corby K. Martin, Dora Il’yasova, and Eric Ravussin. “Metabolic Slowing and Reduced Oxidative Damage with Sustained Caloric Restriction Support the Rate of Living and Oxidative Damage Theories of Aging.” Cell Metabolism 27, no. 4 (April 3, 2018): 805-815.e4. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cmet.2018.02.019.

"Findings from this 2-year CR trial in healthy, non-obese humans provide new evidence of persistent metabolic slowing accompanied by reduced oxidative stress, which supports the rate of living and oxidative damage theories of mammalian aging."

The Japanese position was clearly irrational, crazy even.

But nearly 40 years of right wing assassinations and military intriguing since the crushing of Russia in 1904 had created a monster. The entire country believed they were superior to other Asians, deserved to rule them and any one who refused to help were “humiliating” them.

There were Japanese leaders who realized a war with the US was unwinnable (including Yamamoto), but taking that position publicly was suicide.

Just as an FYI, the "scam artist" David Sinclair is in fact one of the leading scientists in the world studying the biomechanics of longevity:

David A. Sinclair, Ph.D., A.O. is a Professor in the Department of Genetics and co-Director of the Paul F. Glenn Center for the Biology of Aging at Harvard Medical School. He is best known for his work on understanding why we age and how to slow its effects. He obtained his Ph.D. in Molecular Genetics at the University of New South Wales, Sydney in 1995. He worked as a postdoctoral researcher at M.I.T. with Dr. Leonard Guarente where he co discovered a cause of aging for yeast as well as the role of Sir2 in epigenetic changes driven by genome instability. In 1999 he was recruited to Harvard Medical School where he has been teaching aging biology and translational medicine for aging for the past 16 years. His research has been primarily focused on the sirtuins, protein-modifying enzymes that respond to changing NAD+ levels and to caloric restriction (CR) with associated interests in chromatin, energy metabolism, mitochondria, learning and memory, neurodegeneration, and cancer. The Sinclair lab was the first one to identify a role for NAD+ biosynthesis in regulation of lifespan and first showed that sirtuins are involved in CR in mammals. They first identified small molecules that activate SIRT1 such as resveratrol and studied how they improve metabolic function using a combination of genetic, enzymological, biophysical and pharmacological approaches. They recently showed that natural and synthetic activators require SIRT1 to mediate the in vivo effects in muscle and identified a structured activation domain. They demonstrated that miscommunication between the mitochondrial and nuclear genomes is a cause of age-related physiological decline and that relocalization of chromatin factors in response to DNA breaks may be a cause of aging.

Dr. Sinclair is co-founder of several biotechnology companies (Sirtris, Ovascience, Genocea, Cohbar, MetroBiotech, ArcBio, Liberty Biosecurity) and is on the boards of several others. He is also co-founder and co-chief editor of the journal Aging. His work is featured in five books, two documentary movies, 60 Minutes, Morgan Freeman’s “Through the Wormhole” and other media. He is an inventor on 35 patents and has received more than 25 awards and honors including the CSL Prize, The Australian Commonwealth Prize, Thompson Prize, Helen Hay Whitney Postdoctoral Award, Charles Hood Fellowship, Leukemia Society Fellowship, Ludwig Scholarship, Harvard-Armenise Fellowship, American Association for Aging Research Fellowship, Nathan Shock Award from the National Institutes of Health, Ellison Medical Foundation Junior and Senior Scholar Awards, Merck Prize, Genzyme Outstanding Achievement in Biomedical Science Award, Bio-Innovator Award, David Murdock-Dole Lectureship, Fisher Honorary Lectureship, Les Lazarus Lectureship, Australian Medical Research Medal, The Frontiers in Aging and Regeneration Award, Top 100 Australian Innovators, and TIME magazine’s list of the “100 most influential people in the world”.

In Python people are encouraged to follow styles for code as a communication tool between developers. If you just really want your code to "look nice" you can have things like this:

def begin(*args):
return args[-1]

begin(
func := lambda x, y: begin(
z := int(input()),
x + y + z
),
func(1, 2)
)

A randomized controlled trial would be great, but that experiment literally isn't going to happen in our lifetimes.

So we have to make the best of other evidence, like animal studies (rats have increased lifespan on restricted calories), observational studies, and biomarkers.
