Thank you. It was really hard to figure out which tools even could do this so I knew which one I ought to deeply "RTFM" for, which was really frustrating to me because it seemed like the most obvious default behavior for any JS build/bundle tool, which should be what it did if you just typed "some-build-tool build" or "bundle" or whatever, from your project root with nothing but a package.json containing a "main" entry.
Hmm…. Removing peer review and self publishing turns his papers into blog entries. This has always been a concern about journals like PNAS where members can pay to publish - and their work was described as an ad. I guess this is helpful?
I'd slightly amend your statement.

The smartest undergrads in the county are still at your HYPSM universities.

However, the median intelligence at these schools has definitely dropped drastically as these schools are putting less of an emphasis on SAT scores and the like.
For all these problems I find it easier to just simulate it and plot the results. Do a loop with 100k iterations. In each iteration generate 23 numbers between 1,365 from a uniform distribution. Then check in how many iterations you had duplicate entries.

You will see that asymptomatically you will reach 50k cases
I wouldn't be surprised if it's the opposite -- public transit is much better in Europe and Japan and used for most daily commutes that in America would be by car, so cars are reserved for longer journeys.

Startups Giving Problems to Solve That They Didn't Solve?
I recently had a programming problem concerning a Rubik's cube as a challenge problem to get a job with them.

The problem was given any color configuration or rotation of a cube, be able to find a canonical form to "look up" a solution.

In their minds, you should be able to rotate any cube (24 possible states), and then permute the colors (6! = 720 possible ways to rearrange WYGBRO), and yet, this is entirely wrong from my understanding.

In a follow up meeting, they showed me an example case where instead of using the colors WYROGB, they used the number 0-5 instead, and then claimed this was valid. But they don't realize that they are breaking their own constraints given in the problem.

Is there anyway to prove them wrong? I asked to sign an NDA because I'm genuinely just curious about how to better my understanding if I am wrong, but I'm getting the feeling they are intentionally not wanting to admit they are wrong.

Is there any thing I can do to actually get a response that shows how I am wrong or seek remedy ?
> Why is it surprising that driven students at an elite institution are probably going to do well most of the time?

This only makes sense if you assume that Harvard students are unusually academically driven.

Given that Harvard has historical been very eager to accept students that have personal relationships with Harvard alumni, I wouldn’t make the assumption that these students are more academically driven than average. A lot of these students will see success because of their connections, rather than their academic aptitude
50/50. The problem with going to fitness/sports people is they may get "distracted" with other concerns of theirs and ignore your central complaint. So if that fitness instructor is incredibly informed and clearly taking your priorities straight then, sure, go there. But if they seem to have a chronic case of "jock brain" and seem to be only concerned with your physical appearance then go elsewhere.

As a queer girl myself; I appreciate the support, along with any and all progress towards stopping this shameful backwards march America is madly dedicated to.

For a country that likes to jerk itself off about being the epitome of ‘freedom’, they sure do like to tell people what to do.

A country where I can get a gun without a background check - but potentially be arrested for an abortion - is the definition of ‘fucked up priorities’.

Saddening recent events have only proven this is more true than ever.
>> Law schools weigh GPA very strongly.

They say that, but they don't. When someone is rejected they will say it was because of a low GPA. But people are accepted based on their LSAT scores. Do well on the LSAT and your undergrad GPA is almost meaningless.
Quick! Get hold of a few! Save it for a film set in the 90's!

oh, sorry, i just looked it up. you are right. austria does allow time limited contracts. 3 years is the minimum, however. you can't have shorter time limits. also after the first year the tenant may terminate the contract any time (with 3 months advance notice), the landlord may not. and there is another interesting detail: time-limited contracts must be 25% less than comparable unlimited contracts. this however is rarely enforced unless the tenant notices. (they can get back overpaid rent for up to 10 years).

germany doesn't allow time limited contracts. there are only two exceptions. a time limited contract is allowed if the landlord can claim to need to use the property themselves after the end of the contract (which they can only do if they don't have multiple properties to rent), or if they have plans to tear down or renovate the building.
Yup. If the author doesn't show examples with motion, it is pretty safe to say that it won't look well for animations. This most often does not come for free.
Is this more about ivy league schools being the most prestigious or is it about finance and law fields causing a brain drain of the smartest people in the country?
I really liked this article because it explained the differences in a very understandable and relatable way, and also because it sold me on ServerlessQ.

This is a great example of content marketing that uses a question to both answer and impart value in a very logical and compelling way. Through understanding the differences between SQS and SNS the reader will know how to use those in the future, get a clearer idea of the complexity, and be presented with a much simpler and still full-featured alternative at the end. Well done.
My wife was an undergrad at MIT (course 5.) When she went to apply to med school she had a ton of explaining to do because MIT in those days - maybe now too I don’t know - graded on a curve. Not in some verkakte inflate-everyone mode but fitting everyone to a desired distribution. Every other university was already inflating grades.
Could it happen, possibly. Will it happen, no. Far too much resistance to this kind of sacrifice.
Ivy's aren't the top schools for stem. MIT/Stanford/CMU are where the stem geniuses want to be, and after that the top public schools are probably more desirable than ivys because they're so much cheaper. I went to UIUC cs over uchicago and northwestern because of the price differential. By far the largest value ad ivys provide is networking with the soon to be rich and powerful. Seems like aspiring stem students realize that's not as important in their field.
I agree, even as OP. Malcom Gladwell's writings on elite universities have gone viral, and even though some good points are sometimes made, many are just stretching the truth for clicks.

As for the general grade inflation problem: It is confusing that Harvard's grade distribution is so different than schools with similarly strong student bodies like Princeton, Columbia, UChicago, Berkeley, etc. Especially very, very large portion of students are legacy / recruited athletes / very wealthy donor parents. According to the affirmative action lawsuit, over 10% of the student body alone was on the "Dean's interest list," a very elite group of autoadmits, for example.
This is why I'll never work for NVIDIA. They required a 3.5 GPA for interns and new grads, when no one else did. Screw em.
My understanding is that they were destroyed, but I’m guessing there’s hundreds of copies made by sysadmins over the years as thousands of nudes of every student is unlikely data to stay squirreled away. I’m guess they didn’t have any data audit controls back then so they would not have a way to monitor who made copies and where they are.

Law school or really any graduate school.

It's kind of laughable that we still rely on GPAs. The solution would be to convert college grades into a kind of item response theory measure of fitness for each student (equivalent to like the degree of difficulty of test questions). You could do it within a school so that you can create a better measure of ability that controls for difficulty of majors or individual classes.

You could create one nationally as well, though getting data combined together would be a pain. Something like SAT/ACT/GRE scores might help when comparing between schools. Or grades of students who transfer schools.

It's hibernating. Apparently, Windows has the ability to perform some actions based on ACPI, which presumably is disabled by default. For whatever reason, some update enables this feature (once every 6+ months, but not right after restoring from backup, strange as hell), but I guess the thermal zones are improperly calibrated? No idea.

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/drivers/br...

It just hibernates. Passive or active cooling setting, disabled thermal controls in group policy or not, registry tweaks or not. Tried everything.

It just hibernates, middle of work or not. At least it doesn't shut down ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.

I'd say upon reaching ~60-70 degrees on the CPU, but it does it at idle (<50degC) too, so it seems more random than anything. Once, it stopped when I had a Kali Linux VM with a USB Wifi adapter passed through to it (only difference at the time) running. Worked for a few days, then it started doing it regardless.

People with some Dell and Lenovo laptops also have this problem, and it seems so rare that the most common answer is "lol, it's overheating dumdum, thank Microsoft or it would break".

Only surefire solution is to restore from backup.

If it did that under Linux, at least I could easily tell it to ignore everything and let the hardware handle it.

My Mom went to an Prestigious University, when my Mom went back to work after the kids got old enough to take care of themselves (to some extent..), that degree opened doors. She was explicitly told, hey great university when she went for an interview. We had a friend in our peer group didn't go to state school like us but another "Prestigious University", he was a history major (we were engineers), but he never had trouble finding work.

Its not the only thing, I suspect it not nothing.
It seems like a pretty false equivalence to me. Who wants to talk to someone on speaker in the middle of a public street? Or remember to bring headphones with them in case they need to make a call? I would be very surprised if they were ever used to make calls outside of very rare emergency situations.

Everybody should have access to the Network. It's weird to prioritise a previous (and of course much less capable) iteration of the Network, in this case the Public Switched Telephone Network over the current one, the Internet.

Ambient Network Access is to be encouraged, I am disappointed when I see friends endeavouring to keep their young children from accessing the Network out of a misplaced fear it will stunt their intellectual development somehow. To be sure children need to be given boundaries and supervision, but preventing access is no sort of way to achieve that. For tourists and the homeless there's even less excuse.

IMHO, they should just put a curb weight restriction on non-commercial vehicles. 1000kg should be plenty enough, although I would like to see even smaller cars on the roads in the range of 700kg, at least within city limits.

It does plenty of things at once: reduces emissions and pollution, improves safety for everyone, decreases congestion and decreases wear and tear on roads.

But it can only work if everyone is driving the same size of car/truck.

In any case this stupid arms race to get the most imposing vehicle on the road needs to end.

Money.

If you fail a student, they will take their tuition money to a school that does not fail them.

I thought Harvard was just a terrible school for uppity people?

There are maybe five U.S. senators with Harvard degrees who can't pass a 7th grade climate science unit.

Ivys have always prioritized diversity over merit. The diversity they valued used to be wealth and power instead of just merit, now they've expanded that to include cultural diversity too. But make no mistake, these universities were never just looking to accept the smartest students.

It's unrealistic to vet the entire chain of dependencies especially considering how they can become vulnerable at any time. Developers can't be expected to be responsible for that.

This isn't true, it's a strange assumption often perpetuated online. Looking at cross-admit numbers actually published by Stanford's Faculty Senate, for example, Stanford's biggest overlap is with Harvard, Yale, MIT, and Princeton, in that order. It's a matter of pedigree - for undergrad, where grad school subject-specific rankings do not matter, there are an high concentration of very good STEM students at HYP; Harvard likely has the biggest concentration of excellent STEM students out of any university in America based on Olympiad winner matriculants and grad school outcomes, other than MIT. HYPSM lose virtually no students to universities other than between themselves, looking at the cross-admit numbers.

Schools like CMU, Berkeley, UIUC, etc. have different overlaps.

edit: This is just cold, hard data. Undergrads do not choose CMU/Berkeley/UIUC and whatnot over Harvard, Yale, or Princeton. Despite higher grad school rankings.
I've deliberately put the original thread running down the left with the discussions going off to the right, because that seems to be more usable for most people. Other options exist, I can just have it run as an ordinary tree from the top, but it's harder to find the "one true thread".

I've used other more dynamic layout systems, but they tend to wobble about and give me motion sickness, or not do as well with the layout. There's a lot going on here.

Yes, foldability, forcing layout, allowing people to move things around, I've tried all of these to the best of my ability, and other people have had a go, then given up and gone away. To do a decent job will require skill and time, neither of which I have.

It's "losing" because Japan wants inflation. They've had the opposite problem the rest of the planet has. Inflation (generally) means there's some kind of economic activity.

I'm well aware of Krugman's thoughts on Japan. See his 1998 paper:

My post is a counter-point that somehow a global economy (always) means that central banks can't do anything. Just compare the US and the EU in the 2010s, and you'll see different trajectories.
I went to Harvard (for grad school) and taught there as a TF; I also have lots of experience of other private and public schools. I don't think Harvard's lower tier students are as smart as the top tier students at an average school. Let's set aside the egregious legacy or athletic admits. Is the second-lowest quintile of Harvard students smarter than the top quintile of "average school" students? More polished, yeah, sure; more cunning (not necessarily in a negative sense, but in the sense of understanding how to work the system, how to give evaluators what they want), sure. And maybe by the end, there's more difference than there was coming in, thanks to competitive motivation and other network effects. But admissions are something like a lottery, and I would say that the mean "smartness" of Harvard students is not much different from that of a generic selective private school (let's say, Harvard's second-lowest quintile would be the middle quintile at another reasonably selective private school), and that the top percentiles at a generic public school would perform quite comparably to Harvard's top quintile (even if Maryland has a lower mean, as Gladwell notes).

Are there very smart people at Harvard, and other prestigious liberal arts universities? Absolutely. But there are lots of people who are merely above average and lucky, by dint of birth or chance, and some people who aren't even above average. (FWIW MIT and Caltech have much better claims to being filled with the smartest people in the world -- rigorous standards of admission, no legacies, NCAA Div3 athletics, etc.)
