It's very clearly unfair, I'm not sure what your example has to do with anything. No students performance should be a sum based on how previous students have done at their school. That's literally reinforcing the postcode div

I feel like the only elephant in the room with Haskell is that Haskell people are obsessed with jumping in on any other FP language and trying to turn it into Haskell. Scala was/is awash with it, much to the detriment of the community.

Again, as always, what you call Britain the reality is that its centers around a small number of cities and primarily the heart of London. And again, a large percentage is privately owned and not wired into the kind of Person of Interest sy

You're conflating the personality traits of the interviewee with criticism of the generally accepted 'best practice' of interviewers. On my experience far too many companies are using processes that select for entirely the wr

You're still missing the point. A mother whose son went to get candy and ended up never coming home after being gunned down by the police doesn't give a fuck about white tech elite hand-wringing and trying to rewrite history and d

Disagree, these companies try to buy credibility by association and not being party to that trade is a very correct and conscientious approach to take. They can just as easily buy North Face or some other tat.

It's common, but the problems at Wirecard have been public for a long time and will be even more well known in the industry so you would imagine that due diligence would have questioned the potential value of his collateral against suc
