I'm surprised they don't get all the admissions data and do some data mining with machine learning to figure out admissions trends. That would be the easiest way to prove whether or not there is any real bias. To me the most suspi

When I last applied for jobs, I had ~20 years experience. I was 8 for 10 after the phone screen, and 4 offers out of 8 onsites. I didn't apply to a single company, I just responded to recruiters reaching out for me, and I arranged all

The answer is "no" because the author needs to come to a conclusion for the paper that they are writing. It doesn't matter if they are correct, it matters that they produce a paper, so that's why they came up with this c

Anything more than 10 years old on your resume is worthless. Yes, you may have 3 STEM undergrad degrees, but no one cares because it's not relevant anymore. What modern technologies have you recently worked with? What does your resume

Mainstream media has never accurately predicted a crash. In fact, the news articles are great indicators that things will keep going up for at least a year or two.

It's not a mystery. Inflation is everywhere, but the government isn't measuring it. Clinton moved the goalposts by saying that people would downgrade the quality of their purchases as the price increased. So for example, instead o

We agree to disagree. I don't think you can convince me that all optional is better than all required and vice versa, which is okay. My point is required fields makes software age better over the long run because everything is explicit

Instead, you're going to get errors from the clients using version 2, because server version 2 was rolled back. You have to roll back the clients as well then. Or you could have client version 2 know how to automatically convert to ser

No, you create conversion routines that convert between different versions of structs. This keeps things well understood with no ambiguity. This is very easy, we were doing this 20 years ago and autogenerating the conversions using ANTLR th

You don't need to update everything lockstep. You maintain compatibility by converting the structs back and forth. However, all ambiguity is gone and everything is well understood.

I doubt any api call trying to work in such a chaotic environment would actually work, and having all optional fields won't magically make things work. It will probably fail but in very mysterious ways. This sounds more like an environ

Put me firmly in the camp of "optional fields are bad." I believe all fields should be required. I come from an ONC/RPC background, which is the original UNIX RPC. Every iteration of an rpc would get versioned, and then you c

Your argument would have more power if music weren't freely available on the radio. And if someone else paid for the music and played it, I can listen to it for "free" as well. Musicians are stiffed by the record labels, not

I did say "what an employee would pay at a Silicon Valley company." I pay no monthly premiums, but if I added my wife, it's about $100/month. So you verified what I said above. And your point about being "fooled&quo

My biggest problem with Go is the lack of a constructor. I don't feel that a struct type is good enough to enforce data integrity and as you have a more complex program, you need to know that the object you are being passed has data in

There isn't much savings in terms of health care. In Ontario, if you're working you have to pay a health care tax that is similar to what an employee would pay at a Silicon Valley company. And then the health care is much worse in

You can't claim "overvalued" unless you have a model that tells you what the price should be. That's all the difference there is, really. Everyone telling you that housing prices in Silicon Valley are "overvalued&qu
