Meteor was restrictive and opinionated in the beginning. MDG was ambitious about how comprehensive they wanted Meteor to be and were successful at providing quick project setup, sockets out of the box, and easy mobile development for iOS and Android before Nativescript was around.
As other frameworks like React came on the scene, many developers jumped ship and left Atmosphere packages unmaintained. It felt somewhat backward and out of touch with the Javascript community. After dropping the Meteor repository Atmosphere in favor of npm, opening up to other databases than MongoDB, and adding integrations for Angular, React and Vue in lieu of Blaze, it felt reintegrated. Now it's mostly stable and configurable.
Hopefully the Tiny team can continue in this direction by bringing Meteor up to date with the current versions of node and Mongo, continuing to support the front end rendering libraries to integrate with their respective communities and improving Typescript support.
Well your brain only does it when you’re starved for glucose, for one. If your brain operated better off of ketones it’s hard to imagine why it would preferentially operate off of glucose when it’s available.
All new residential construction is required to meet International Residential Code energy efficiency provisions. The State Energy Conservation Office provides funding opportunities to support efficiency programs and loans for public institution retrofitting projects. There are many programs requiring, subsidizing, and incentivizing energy efficiency: https://programs.dsireusa.org/system/program
Most research has focused on α-tocopherol, which is thought to displace
γ-Tocopherol. In a 2000 study of the relationship between α-tocopherol, γ-tocopherol, selenium, and prostate cancer, men in the highest fifth of the distribution for γ-tocopherol were five time less likely to develop prostate cancer than men in the lowest fifth. [1]
"Recent epidemiological and preclinical studies have indicated that γ- and δ-tocopherols may be more effective because they are more efficient traps for reactive oxygen and nitrogen species." [2]
>The gender equality paradox is like a religion to you people.
Lumping everyone who mentions it together and othering them does not seem constructive.
>Women aren't just "less interested" in sofware at the scale we see in that study, they're outnumbered by literally a whole order of magnitude.
How can you be sure? Men are on average more interested in working with things, and women are on average more interested in working with people [1]. "...non-biology STEM majors showed lower [people-orientation] and higher [thing-orientation] interests than biology and health majors."[2] Self-efficacy and competence beliefs tend to be a factor that keep women away from tech [3]. The Gender Equality Paradox also mentions competency as a factor.
I guess I was not very clear in my statements, but to reiterate: yes, we all know these observations about interests are true, but no, we do not know whether they are biological. On the contrary, we have strong evidence that these preferences stem from the way we talk to young boys and girls.
There was a video documentary by someone in Scandinavia where they did experiments on infants, and from a very early age, the differences between male and females start to manifest, even before any sort of social input and differences in treatment. It seems to be biological. Females are more interested in "faces" and the males were more interested in "things".
That doesn't mean women are not interested in STEM though. I've seen a very interesting anecdote at a university in the middle east. It was segregated (men and women had different campuses), and for a certain amount of time, there were the same number, if not more, women than men in the engineering colleges. A nearby university, which was not segregated, and offered practically the same curriculum, had very few women in STEM, most women there ended up in business and media majors. Though things could probably change after graduation where female STEM graduates end up taking work that is less hands on and involves more dealing with people.
In the Middle East there is absolutely societal pressure against women, I’m only saying there’s none of that in the West.
I’ve lived in Jordan, one of the freest and most tolerant countries in the region and I could definitely imagine that women would like to avoid atudying with men.
That's not what I've seen. Plus, that's not the point of discussion here.
This was in a Gulf country. And it's not about avoiding studying with men (the majority of the population there are foreigners, and those schools attracted non-Arabs as well). Again, repeating what I saw, in the segregated school, the ratio of men to women in engineering was almost 1:1 (I don't know if that changed recently). In the university next door, it was closer to what we see in the West (way less women in engineering). However, in that same coed university, women ended up more in business majors where they were also studying alongside men. I've also seen a lot of women enter pharmacy and architecture majors.
I'm not sure how Stanford's economic disparity supports that there are no programs to assist people who are economically disadvantaged. Harvard, Stanford, and Yale offer free tuition for students with family income below 65,000 a year, Princeton for below 54,000, and Cornell, Brown, Columbia and Duke for families with income below 60,000.
There's no data in the article about the income level of the students applying. Are there 15 times as many wealthy applicants? Disparity is often contextualized in terms of systems of oppression and discrimination. Individual behavior, influenced by the effect being poor has psychologically, is likely to contribute to the difference in economic diversity.
I have applied for women's scholarships but not without feeling guilty. Why do I get a chance at something while as many eager men in need of financial assistance or technical mentorship do not?
I am appreciative of every opportunity I have been given and will continue to take advantage of any opportunity afforded to me, even if it is on the base of my gender. If an investor wants to help a certain group of people, I will value that they are providing opportunities even though I may disagree with the idea of providing opportunities based on immutable characteristics.
