Let's see if you can get this one, it's easy !
I really like the approach of allowing either kind of call, with the "dot" style mere convenience over the function style. Rust has that sort of thing:

let v = &vec![1u32,2,3];
println!("{}", v.len());
println!("{}", Vec::len(v));

Pro business is too ambiguous of a definition. Do you mean pro monopoly business? Because that's what it looks like here. Being pro monopoly business means being anti competing business. Being pro competition however is being pro business in general. So I'd argue they are actually anti business generally speaking.

Fine, now how about answering my question?

In particular,

> Nobody's doing it because they believe in diversity.

strikes me as incorrect. They made a much more convincing case than you did.
Look for mentorship.

Remember that no matter how you code, there are always both better and worse ways of doing it.

Don't get too polarized about the language you start out with. All programming languages have pros and cons.

When coding, Don't Repeat Yourself, use source control, and learn to be independent and resourceful by looking up stuff on your own instead of looking for someone to ask about it.
Start Posting Trending Stories
It depends on the company. Google, as an example, sends you an email when you interview that there's no need to dress up for the interview - wear what you're comfortable in, the interview is about your skills. I'd say about half the places I interviewed at basically said that they weren't expecting me to dress up and I wore a nicer everyday outfit.

If the company doesn't give you guidance, I think it's easiest to ask. Usually you're dealing with a recruiter at the company and they want to get someone good hired, but ultimately the choice to hire won't be theirs. They're not going to want you to get a "no" decision simply because someone interviewing you didn't like your dress. They know the people who will be interviewing you and what they're expecting. If the company keeps track of numbers for these inside recruiters, those recruiters are going to want to look like they're bringing in good people - that they have good judgement when bringing people in for interviews. They won't want their numbers to be bad based on your dress - based on a technicality. How crummy would that be - your numbers are worse than another recruiter's because you wouldn't advise candidates on how to dress and they were denied because of that?

You can always fall back to being more dressy, but I think asking is the easiest.
There is a single C++ compiler that supports export. Out of all the C++ compilers, only a single one supports it. Mainly because it is such a HUGE pain in the ass to write support for.

See this paper as to why it was removed from the spec: http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2003/n142...
Roger Ebert didn't write this.
To clarify for those not from the US: an MPAA "R" rating means that children under 17 are not admitted unless accompanied by an adult. http://www.mpaa.org/film-ratings/

In other words, it's movies we're okay with kids seeing - but they need to see it with an adult, presumably one who knows it's something this specific child will be able to handle.

Cypherpunk is not the same thing as libertarianism or anarchism. I'm well aware that bitcoin has cypherpunk origins.
horribly pronouncable company name :) good product though
Here's an out of the box idea that doesn't address racism but addresses another aspect of this: may be we should focus effort (research grants and moneys) on non-elite schools and bring the general average university up to a better level, then people, asian or otherwise, wouldn't feel that much less accomplished if they got into a some large public uni that happens not to be an ivy-league school.

It boggles my mind how we have the best schools in the world while at the same time have an average college educated adult who has skills below the average [0]. That could be part of the reason why so many people are shoving against each other on the way to Stanford, because if they get into some random state uni, they know they won't have a quality education. May be if we fixed that, we'd increase N, the number of spots available for everyone, and we wouldn't reach the pigeon-hole limit so quickly that colleges wouldn't have to start discriminating against anyone.

The other thing that strikes me as bizarre is the way the everything seems so coupled. Its like the exact opposite of good software engineering - we build the systems to be so interlinked that everything affects everything else. Like when the oil price came down, it was threatening to put the UK (a net importer) into recession.
> [I] disagree that universities try to "obscure" that effect [of race on undergrad admission]

You can't be serious. Universities selectively deny access to their admissions data based on the politics of the researchers asking for it. They've been known to agree to allow access and then welsh after hearing the proposed topic of the paper. They're acting with overt malice, here.

> We're talking about subsidies to the poor to access the informational content of the internet. I don't think it's a good use of public money to subsidize high-bandwidth games and entertainment.

Have you seen the size of Visual Studio lately. Or photo shop. Or Linux installs. Or their ability to have a normal cloud backup.
>At tend to give as much credence to those "example[s] of watered down academic standards" at elite universities as I do to welfare queens driving Cadillacs.

Understood. However, you're addressing something I didn't say. I wasn't accusing elite universities of dumbing down existing standards. I was talking about about how the universities would hypothetically have to lower the academic thresholds to fulfill someone's idea that 13% of Ivy Leagues should be black to mirror the 13% in the general population.

>, it was about stacking athletic teams.

Right. But, what's the reason-behind-the-reason that it gets framed as "stacking athletes" so that it looks like it has nothing to do with academics?

In reality, it's the academics (or fiction of it) that made it a scandal in the first place.

Let's remember that it's a football scholarship. It's supposed to be scholars who go to school and happen to use football participation to pay for tuition. For many reasons (societal, circuses & bread, etc), it has mutated into athletes who need to fake the academic process to play for the school. Since society has not embraced an alternative structure for 19-year olds to play televised minor-league football outside of college institutions, that's how academics got twisted to fit a non-educational agenda. Football isn't getting in the way of school; it's school that is getting in the way of football.

As for making the black percentages at ivy leagues match the population at large, I'm not exactly sure what the other posters who dismiss SAT + GPA + AP course transcripts are proposing. If elite schools are academic institutions (instead of unpaid football teams), and SAT+GPA+AP classes are cultural discrimination, what do they propose the schools look at? The color of the skin? If football doesn't have much to do with academic qualifications, the amount of pigment in the skin doesn't either.

You're black -- and you got into MIT. You had the academic qualifications. Is there something you're debating that I missed or are we agreeing?
You can honestly read and understand that as-is? And adding line breaks and proper indentation would make it absolutely no easier? Impressive. I don't think there's many C programmers who have that ability.
For what it's worth, I worked in the cinema industry (as a projectionist) for a few years, and even the old-timers had spotted this trend over time.

Apparently it's much more common to need staff to intervene with talkers in shows than it was thirty years ago. One memorable case had a staff member explaining to some kid that he couldn't record the show on his phone. The kid seemed confused by this, taping things on the phone and sharing them with friends was just normal, how they engage with every experience.

Another fun thing I noticed from the vantage point of the projection booth: if you look down into any screening more than about one-quarter full, at any time during the show you will always, always see at least one mobile-phone in use. There is never a time when the full audience is giving the film their full attention.

Our small team has backgrounds from Berkeley, MIT, Facebook, Locu and AdRoll, and we're all doing exactly what we want to be doing: building a groundbreaking new product out of thin air.

We are well funded by top investors including SV Angel, Susa Ventures, Data Collective, Paul Buchheit, and more.

If you’ve been waiting for an opportunity like this, please send your resume and a quick blurb about yourself to jobs@pipelinedb.com.

About the systems engineering position:

As an early stage engineer you'll ultimately own a very large part of the product. Which part of the product you take charge of depends on where your interests are, but there are several different potential areas of focus. You'll be entrusted to make sound architectural decisions as well as implement your vision effectively. We review each others' code for quality, awareness, and learning, so you'll spend some time contributing your valuable perspective to those efforts as well, although the vast majority of your time will be spent designing and building your own projects.

Benefits:

* Full medical/dental/vision insurance

* No set work hours--work when you feel smart

* Choose your own setup

* No vacation policy other than that it is strongly encouraged

* Large equity ownership
I don't know what "stacking athletic teams" means, but the NC football scandal that I'm familiar with involved the school providing fake classes for their football players, to maintain the illusion that they were "student-athletes" instead of just "athletes".
So there's a new name for taylor expansions now?
also if this was the case I would make a second git repo a filtered version of the complete git repo. Sure it is a "hack" but it is an engineering solution to an engineering problem. Not all engineering solutions need to be idealized perfection.
Nimrod was more appropriate, as we could then call the users Nimrods.
