DO NOTE that the in the United States, the use of IQ tests for hiring is potentially legally fraught. A SCOTUS ruling[1] has found that IQ tests are assumed to disfavor minority employees, and therefore using them as a major factor in hirin

There is a Supreme Court ruling that IQ tests are assumed to unfairly disadvantage minority candidates. This was in the context of employment rather than college admissions, but I don't think anyone has been bold enough to test whether

Proper safety engineering accounts for human factors. Blaming the parents is improper. Safety-critical fields like aviation assume that trained, certified pilots are fallible and design their systems to be resilient against human error. Thi

That looks different. The Data Connector, which you linked, lets you write a query to BQ and have the results in Sheets. Connected Sheets sounds like it's actually a front-end to the underlying data. Notably, the Data Connector has a r

BigQuery bills based on amount of data read. BigQuery is a column-store database, so a read will always touch every row of a table, but only the columns actually used. So e.g. "SELECT * LIMIT 1" will read the entire table, while &

So, in other words... it's a Chromium fork. It's not a Blink fork, if that's what you mean. They built a new browser, using the HTML & JS engines from Chromium. The rest of the browser is different. As a user, I conside

Furthermore, programming in Rust has some unique challenges (like the borrow-checker) that make traditional line-for-line or function-for-function re-writes unfavorable. The average Rust re-implementation tends to do more re-architecture th

The main point is that if you take safe code and put it inside an unsafe block, the meaning of the code doesn't change. So for example, array indexing is bounds-checked in safe code, and non-bounds-checked array access is only availabl

Google Analytics does not have a self-hosted version, even the paid version (GA360). With the paid version it's possible to download the data after it goes through Google via BigQuery, but the data still lives in Google in the meantime

GDPR is actually 0% about cookie warnings, because that's an entirely separate piece of legislation. But yes, the online stuff in general is maybe 10% of GDPR tops, and half of that is what goes on behind your back.

I think GP means that as a cultural thing, the Rust/Cargo ecosystem has a strong aversion to breaking changes, and as a result tends not to do anything that would require a bump to 2.0.
