If it isn't a phishing attempt it would be really surprising to me that they would use http. BTW, https://exacttarget.com redirects to an official Salesforce product page, but that doesn't guarantee it to not be phishing.

@leephillips Do you have a source for the statistic?

Perhaps the "polish" of the resume is a signal for "professionalism and attention to detail." But I worry that the professionalism of the resume is a signal mostly for wealth and social status, factors which should be ignored in the hiring process. So I think that unless the resume is atrociously formatted, its "polish" should be ignored.
I read an article on LinkedIn [1] touching on a similar issue. The ideal resume quality standard is "not a lesson that every school or household teaches equally" and giving undue consideration to it may be "creating unnecessary barriers to entry for certain groups."
However, I think your experience in the hiring process is valid and would be open to changing my mind.

In your case, LibreOffice allows you to save the file as Flat XML (e.g., .fodt), and the document will be written as a single uncompressed file. Unfortunately, few apps have a feature like this.

One thing that was not addressed in the post is the option of using a GC library in Rust. I'm not a Rust expert, but to me, it seems like this makes it quite feasible to quickly port a compiler. They could wrap most complex data structures in GC and optimize them as time goes by. That being said, I'd assume that the library's GC would be slower than Go, so perhaps that's a deal-breaker.

I am wondering how this could be Simpson's Paradox.

Same for me. I tried it on both Opera and Firefox (Linux desktop).
