Show HN: Deployer: Most simple deployment tool
For example, the UC system in California is currently prohibited by law from discriminating by race in admissions. But we know they're doing it anyway by looking at the statistics of the students they keep admitting.

Do "we know they're doing it anyway"? When Prop 209 passed, minority enrollment dropped. And there are any number of factors that the system may consider that are not race, but may be correlated with race. In any event, the numbers I can find show black and latino admissions combined are less than expected based on CA and national numbers.

And the source you cite doesn't actually specify any amount of bias by race - it says that race is "considered"

I was responding to a poster that said "CalTech doesn't discriminate by race at all" - CalTech itself disagrees. I was not commenting on the extend or magnitude of that consideration.

If we think that other universities are lying when they say race is not considered,

I'm not sure I accept this premise.

why shouldn't we discount CalTech's statement

Occam's razor. In any event, we know that CalTech does target minorities via outreach programs [0] so it would not be out of character for them to consider race. And anecdotally (I'm black), I was heavily recruited by CalTech despite my showing no interested in attending and having below (CalTech) average SAT scores (and above average grades/school rank/extra curricular)

I need something that just works for the parents. (Since Unity, Ubuntu has been on a constant slow slide downwards usability-wise.) I tried Mint on a recommendation, but their idea of an upgrade was a re-install (really!), so that was a no-go. Any other ideas?

SEEKING WORK - London, UK.
Web developer (mainly front-end, with a bit of back-end) and Computer Science student at Brunel University. Experienced in HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Ruby, PHP and Java (started this year). Hoping to begin building iOS apps soon with Obj-C and Swift.

I am looking for a summer placement/internship at a Startup, preferably in London, beginning June 2015 until September. I can work remote but I'd rather be in an office environment.

I am currently a front-end web developer/designer for 5 Lines Creative (www.5lin.es), a design agency I co-founded. Currently working on mainly WordPress projects. I have also built a Ruby app called BibleQuotes (www.biblequot.es) which I am planning to extend with User Accounts, liking and a 'feed', when I get the chance.

It'd be awesome if anyone got in touch! You can contact me at tom[at]5lin.es, or on Twitter (http://twitter.com/_tmkly). My GitHub account is http://www.github.com/tomoakley.

Thanks!
> CalTech is a first-rate academic institution but it's prestige is limited to those who actually know what it is about...

> Again, my point is that the preoccupation people have with Schools like Harvard isn't about academics but prestige.

I understand that, which is why I didn't claim that CalTech had the same prestige as Harvard. I was rebutting your claim that Harvard had racial policies in order to get academic awards in order to get prestige.

> My reference to the "first black president" has less to do with race or racial preference but rather for the sort of social change it represents. When you take the entire social history of the United States, a first black president is a monumental change and the institutions (academic or otherwise) that can claim any part of the credit for that, are falling over themselves to do so.

Again, this is clearly not why Harvard has these policies, so bringing it up is a distraction. I agree that racial policies affect Harvard's prestige, and I agree that Harvard is driven largely by the pursuit of prestige, but I disagree that prominent racial alumni is a causal link, as you suggested.
The article title is misleading. This measure isn't about state imposed Internet monopolies, but overturning state bans on municipal broadband. On the substance: this is an excellent decision, but needs to go further. The FCC should act to ban anti-competition municipal measures like build-out requirements.

Right now, if you're an ISP startup and you identify some neighborhoods where it would make sense to build fiber, most cities won't let you. Instead, to build anywhere, you have to build everywhere. This is a huge missed opportunity, because competition in even a limited service area could cause change in incumbent behavior if that area is full of lucrative accounts.

Google is leading the way on this as part of it's Fiber deployment, but the FCC has the opportunity to make it national.
Some cynicism can be healthy, but just because there are issues, some of them serious, with American democratic processes doesn't mean the whole system is corrupt and run purely for the benefit of the ruling elite. I know what that looks like. My wife is Chinese.

Hmm, you have a point there - x64 does make writing ASM significantly easier.
In most places the law says that you must have concealed something and walked towards the exit or left the store before you can be charged with shoplifting.
It demonstrates that you can use the address bar for animation. I imagine there might be a scenario where you'd want to try this for a progress bar or some other kind of status indicator.
It's only problematic because the comment grammar used on HN for non-code folds consecutive whitespace down to one space. Ironically, this was done to work around those who feel that text documents should be hard-wrapped at ~70 characters. If the grammar did not apply this folding, then it would be happy to preserve the structure.

If I were designing a language, its compatibility with naive commenting systems (or catering to users who refuse to use code blocks provided by most modern commenting systems) would be pretty low on my list.

Whitespace, even disregarding indentation, is already very significant to a number of modern languages. Why, then, is this particular form of significance bad?

I never said it was super lax, and I never said I'd show up in a hoodie and sneakers. Obviously I would dress nicely, a tucked in button-down shirt, nicer pants and shoes, maybe even a tie. I just didn't think a full-suit was a requirement.
I'm one of those Asian-Americans that applied to only "elite" schools due to constant parental pressure and did "enough" to get accepted to most. Although all this happened a decade ago, the challenges these days seem mostly the same, if not trite, in the sense that Asians seem to typically over-value institutionalized education and focus on a narrow set of activities for whatever cultural reason ... leading to racial bias from colleges and conventional life choices from Asians.

For me though, I just enjoyed trying a bunch of different stuff out and was fortunate enough to excel at a variety of things that I guess these colleges weren't expecting from an Asian. These interests include(d) linguistics, journalism, public speaking, student government, graphics + layouts + grids, game design, acrobatics, and somehow even ended up as an Eagle Scout (shrug) ... on top of hyper-accelerated math, science and tech stuff expected I guess of Asian students. Didn't sleep much though.

Also, after attending one day of Harvard's Campus Preview Weekend, my gut said "uh ... no," and went to MIT instead. Very happy about that choice in hindsight, purely based on the people I met and the meritocracy instilled in the students; I doubt I use even 25% of course material in the stuff I work on these days. The most important lesson that I did learn at the end of the day is that general society is led to believe that people should/can master only one or two tasks, a possible relic from industrialism. Instead, people should aim to become polymathic, which becomes exponentially easier by learning across diverse interests and realizing that there are many common threads across seemingly different fields -- a personal and particular implementation of "learning how to learn."

* As a side note, San Gabriel Valley? Never been so can't really guess, but I would bet that Cupertino schools were much tougher. Thankfully, we had a certain neighborhood fruit company that inspired some of us to become pirates instead of joining the navy, and to experiment with Learning Some Divinity (eventually).
A token is a token. PEPpy Python's four spaces are isomorphic to Lisp's left banana and C++'s curly brace. An ASCII <bell> would be just as well with a lexer.

White space has significance for humans. The road to the Turing tarpit is paved with human intentions. Describing computation mathematically is a solved problem. Expressing it clearly for and by humans, not so much.
How much easier life on the other side of the Iron Curtain is!
There is indeed a problem with adblock on the site. It’s funny that I saw the email form for a split second before it was blocked, so I spent the past 10 minutes figuring out how to let it pop up.
Interesting I know that one of the reason well off mainland Chinese parents are opting to send their kids to Public Schools in the UK to get out of the death march style of cramming facts education.

From what I've read most of the black and Hispanic students are not dropping out due to course work, but an inability to pay for it. Furthermore, taking out more loans is often not the best idea since many of the students do not make the connections in those schools to get the best paying jobs and usually end up with similar jobs as their peers that went to less prestigious and cheaper schools.

It actually reminds me of a first draft mind dump. From here, some aggressive refactoring could turn this into a very nice language specification.

Brain-dumps are valuable for discussion and as a first step. From there, we just need to follow our normal programming routines: Write, refactor, test, repeat.
The one seems very informal. 34 people, sports management software, I talked to the CTO who opted to fly me out.

The other seems more formal. 70 people, teaching software. The phone screen was with an HR person who was dressed nicely, although she brought up beer a number of times (which was awesome).

I guess my biggest fear is "over" dressing? As in, I'm presumed to not be a cultural fit because I overdress. Gameplan was to dress nicely, but not in a full suit. I might even wear a tie, but a full suit to me seems excessive.
Agreed many headlines are quickly forgotten.

Ukraine is still ongoing, and obviously relevant. At what point should someone have started following the story? Does it have to maintain relevance for a minimum time period before it's worthy of following?
