Don't use Scatterplots
3 days ago
In a series of blog posts, Gary Rubinstein attempts show that the Value Added Modelling scores recently released by the NYC Department of Education prove that VAM (Value Added Modelling) is not accurate. However, whatever flaws VAM may have, Gary Rubinstein (henceforth GR) hasn’t demonstrated them. All he has demonstrated is why you shouldn’t use scatterplots.

Hackershelf is inspired by the tradition of sharing links to free books on Hackernews and Reddit. The main problem with both approaches is I inevitably wind up losing links along with the fact that neither of them was purpose-built for book-sharing or discovery, so Hackershelf was built to scratch my own itch.

My electronic sysadmin notebook for an entire fleet

I used to run a mixed fleet of Slackware Linux boxes. They didn't have much in the way of package management or config tracking, but I kept tabs on everything. Everything you could possibly need to figure out why a box is doing something or other went into these notes. I ran them for a long time, and the notes spanned all of that time.

Japan's immigration control: Gulag for gaijin | The Economist
january 2012
AN EXTRAORDINARY story is making the rounds among the hacks and other expats in Japan. A Canadian freelance journalist who has lived in Japan for years fell into the ugly whirlpool of Japan’s immigration-and-detention system. For years human-rights monitors have cited Japan’s responsible agencies for awful abuses; in their reports the system looks like something dark, chaotic and utterly incongruous with the country’s image of friendly lawfulness.

Japan: Welcome to Japan? | Amnesty International
january 2012
Each year thousands of foreign nationals entering Japan, many originating from developing countries, are singled out for interrogation, exclusion, detention and deportation. Some of the foreign nationals entering Japan are asylum-seekers and they have been denied access to fair and satisfactory asylum procedures. Amnesty International calls on the Japanese government to uphold international standards in the treatment of foreign nationals and to end its current practice of unlawful interrogation-exclusion-detention-deportation procedure.
