The people in the middle in Oklahoma, have high incomes compared to other developed nations.

But they get mulcted out of it because of their godawful public services. From a colleague who works in that state I hear that everyone who can half afford it sends their children to private school because public schools are simply too bad. Then they vote to fund schools even less. Small-government in action.
Possibly. 7 years or longer I would probably give it much less weight though you can't un-know something like this so it's hard to say it wouldn't affect my decision at all. I guess it depends what the interim 7 years look like.

Re #1: for both React and Vue, if you don't stick to the most common and standard methods for implementing functionality, you're going to cause yourself a lot of unnecessary pain. Everything around those ecosystems (documentation, debugging tools, libraries, etc) is designed for streamlining development for people who don't stray from the mainstream.
Qemu provides device emulation for KVM, but there is other code that could affect Windows/ReactOS compatibility, including guest drivers for net/disk IO.
You may not remember it, but back in 1996 there was something called "Moviefone". One used POTS to contact this service, via a phone number to obtain information about currently-running motion pictures. Did the fact that POTS was used to connect to an information service make POTS itself an information service? Of course not, so the same argument fails in the ISP case as well.
I never really used Sublime, but I find the idea of splitting an editor into frontend and backend to be worth exploring.

> comparing it with the "technology" of human drivers is a natural baseline,

I don't think that should be the baseline. You can have driver assistance like collision avoidance with human drivers. And lane correction too. Humans can be helped to drive safer without giving away complete control away to machines. That should be the baseline.
> Demographics always win, and these flyover places are going to be ground into the dirt when the people they are hurting rise up.

I used to believe this until I found people who actively vote against their own interests. For example, they know their rep will lie and try to pass a bill that will harm their access to healthcare. But they still vote for them because of party loyalty.

Again... they know exactly what will happen when they vote for them and still choose to do because of loyalty. They know they need their affordable health insurance because of something they are going through yet they'd rather lose it and have their side win. There's no reasoning with some people. You can provide stats, facts, reasons, and yet they'll still do exactly the opposite of what would bring them long term benefit.
The big constraint (aside from backwards compatibility) is performance: Guido has indicated that he is unwilling to accept much (if any) slowdown of single-threaded code in order to remove the GIL. It's (relatively) easy to remove the GIL and replace it with a bunch of fine-grained locks (or atomic increments, etc), but doing so tends to slow things down. The challenge is in figuring out how to avoid synchronization overhead for common operations (mainly reference counts).

It's true that buffered refcounting probably means that `__del__` would no longer be called immediately as it is now, but I'm not sure if that's a requirement - pypy and jython don't do this either, and destructors are generally discouraged in favor of `with` blocks these days.

> If we spent... $200 billion less on defense, which we easily could afford to do, the Federal Government could kick that money down to the states for other purpose

I read comments like this all the time, and while I don't disagree, I'm not sure anyone realizes just how many jobs will be cut if "we spend xxxbn less on defense." All of that money goes somewhere, the vast majority of it goes into either parts (created by labor) or labor itself. I realize on HN "defense spending" is the prime evil, but that money also supports (if I had to swag it) hundreds of thousands of US jobs.
I think you did a fantastic job showing all the variables at once. I did feel the need for some kind of "debugger" to really see what was going on with my setups instead of watching them run since there is simply inherently​ a lot of simultaneous things to keep track of.
If I'm correct, 1718MW over a year is over 15TWh, which if Bitcoin were a country would place it 78th in this list: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_electrici...

>yes, it'll probably work. Viruses are Windows applications like any other.

The difference here is documented/support APIs vs other code paths.

This is true so long as the 'application' is using the normal APIs, as soon as an application depends on out-of-contract 'implementation details', which the bugs that are utilized by worms definitely are..., all bets are off.

In short ReactOS is more and more likely to implement the API needed by an app, but that doesn't mean it implements the out-of-API defects that malware depends on. Like anyway software, it probably as its own defects.
Defense spending is the ultimate welfare program, draped in a flag.
I'm sure that spending $200 billion on teacher salaries will recycle that money back into the community much faster & more efficiently than it will spending it on missiles.

That's not strictly true. Beans, rice, stewing meat, and cabbages are among the cheapest foods to buy and prepare, and they are definitely cheaper than excessively-saline prepared foods. I believe about half of Oklahoma's agricultural product is cattle, I'm sure prices are somewhat competitive.

These children are mostly not malnourished, and in most cases their obesity could be solved (in the direct sense, ignoring why they overeat) by eating the same things in lesser quantities, at no cost to their health.

You're right, my explanation left that out. It depends on whether the casino believes they will make more money by letting stupid players play or by dealing more hands per hour.
The author doesn't touch enough on just how much social damage can come from this feature. Permanent ostracism, shunning, blackmail, lower pay, and so on. People love judging and hating on other people when they can point fingers while hiding their own malfeasance. Certain things will show up while others won't in a model where we try to blockchain everything. The idea that they'll evolve some form of forgiveness instead runs contrary to how human nature has played out so far.

Now, one might argue the benefits outweigh the harm. That would be a different discussion even though the article does list some of them. It gives a start on it.
Make sure you apply to more schools than the three you listed (MIT, Penn State, Stanford). Based on the information you provided in your post, you're definitely not guaranteed to be accepted to MIT or Stanford (there's a very significant chance that you'll be rejected). MIT and Stanford both reject many applicants with profiles similar to yours (or better than yours) each year.

I'm partly speaking from personal experience. I had similar stats to you (4.8 GPA weighted, 3.9+ GPA unweighted) in high school and a 2330 SAT (780 math / 780 reading / 770 writing). I also had very high standardized test scores in other areas and numerous extracurriculars / state and national level awards.

I ended up getting rejected from both Stanford and Princeton (though I did get into Yale). Basically, the top colleges are a crapshoot even with stellar stats, and you should really apply to 7-10 colleges with some backups mixed in.

As far as where to go, I'd just give the general advice of making sure you don't take on a significant amount of debt. If you're middle class, MIT, Stanford, and the Ivies should give a lot of financial assistance. It's debatable whether prestigious colleges actually provide better education than good state colleges, but the prestige associated with a top school will help you a lot in the future (like it or not, most of the world is not anywhere close to an approximate meritocracy, which means that prestige will play a significant role in the opportunities open to you after college).

But what is the ultimate goal? I can't imagine that the people of Oklahoma don't believe that children should be educated. Is there the expectation that home schooling and private schools are better options? The article doesn't mention either. But an article in The Oklahoman noted that "Homeschooling is popular option in Oklahoma".[0] Also:[1]

> Although Oklahoma has no laws governing homeschooling, it is the only state that guarantees the right to home school as part of its constitution.

But still, I wonder if homeschooling is actually picking up the slack from underfunded public schools.

slot tech

Do you mean the 'digital' ones i.e. the games with 3 or 4 3x3 rasters where one has to place 3x1 lines and try to match the fruits and bells and whatnot? If so could you share some knowledge on how the randomization on these things work? When I play these I can't help but wonder how this works. I'm fairly sure it's not 100% work of a random generator but rather finely tuned to give enough so the player comes back, but not too much. And at the same times there's a weight assigned to certain piecs and combinations thereof. And possibly there's even some rules like 'max number of points per x games can be no more then y' etc. All in all, it feels pretty complicated but I might be completely wrong.
Vue (+ ESLint) give pretty clear errors when you've messed up that make it quick to fix.

But yea, I mean I think it's subjective for most people. I'm not sure there's any real reason to go one or the other outside of developer happiness (could be wrong, though). A big part of Vue is to have a low learning curve and be less opinionated. So it feels more like enhancing your workflow (either in existing apps or new ones) than adopting a whole new way of doing things. I'm just personally more into that.

Also, for what it's worth, you can use JSX with Vue. The only downside I can think of is any time you have a problem it might be hard to find solutions since most people stick to directives. If you already know JSX, though, that might not be an issue.
> drove way too fast, kept less than required safety distance

Welcome to driving.
If you're really curious, this subject is of course extensively studied. I mostly follow EIA and NREL reports. Both organizations take an annual census of the state of involved technologies.

The environmental cost of switching to electric vehicles is quite low with the caveat that cobalt mining can produce concentrated heavy metal pollution. This is unlikely to be a problem as cobalt mining will diversify from third world countries, specifically Congo. There is a modest increase in manufacturing energy (~30% iirc) which is made up rapidly by electricity (within a year if powered by renewables- a car burns its own weight in gas in several years).

The cost of renewable plants is quite reasonable if you replace old plants, and grid scale batteries are now also cheap. A solar power plant with a 3 day battery backup now costs less than an equivalent nuclear plant. Natural gas is exceptionally cheap but it cant scale fully. Renewables get cheaper at scale. The grid itself will probably not need many upgrades, or even any upgrades. Power draw fluctuates 50%+ between day and night, and electric cars will charge overwhelmingly at night. If we switched all cars to electric it eould increase residential draw by 30-40% (11 kWh per day). The grid will sustain that easily except for specific locations with abnormal charging times or high distance driving.

Heres one on power generation: http://www.nrel.gov/analysis/sustain_lca_results.html
Not really. The articles talk about different sorts of effects of salt: The Scientific American paper is mainly about the link between heart disease and salt, which was basically scientifically shaky. The article we are discussing talks about different sorts of things that happen when we eat a lot of salt. It could be bad, sure, but it could be good when talking of weight loss. We'll see with more research.

The first 2/3 of this book is exhilarating, revealing and inspiring. If you are interested in Bruce Springsteen, rock and roll music, or maniacal struggle, it's essential reading.

The last 1/3 is a (relatively) smooth ride. Legendary rockstar status was unlocked and, compared to many of his peers, there was much less struggle (or interesting stories) about staying on top.

I suggest the audiobook version of this because Springsteen narrates it himself and his way of speaking (the NJ lingo) adds to the experience considerably.

The measures talked about are not intended to reduce teacher salaries, that is basically impossible. Paying teachers more is not going to make the schools open on Friday.
But spending that $200 billion on primary education doesn't make it disappear in a black hole either.

One could even argue that money spent on DOD budgets trickles down less to the inhabitants of the state that raised the money in taxes in the first place compared to money spent on education.

That's literally less than one percent. Teachers make the same amount, so by cutting 20% of the school days they save <1% of the budget? That's insanity.

Are budgets so tight that this is the best way to squeeze it? It seems like part of the story is not being told.

Various old people in England have told me about when goods were delivered by horse and cart (milk, bread etc).

The horses knew the route, a man would walk alongside the cart and make the delivery while the horse waited, before proceeding to the next customer's house.

Usually, the purpose of telling me this story has been the time the delivery man was absent; either through a sudden illness or drunkeness. The customer notices the horse stop outside, but then goes to investigate when the horse walks away but there's been no delivery.

The story behind Denver’s most popular mobile app and why it needed to change
New features have been added, for instance:

Make a slideshow
Export as image or pdf
group and or merge shapes
Draw on your maps
Import images, svg icons, html, text, or small pdf-files by simply dragging it onto the map or a shape.
Drag xdot files onto the map to import graphviz graphs.
Make flashcards

Most old features are improved drastically, for instace:

The interface to add, connect or resize shapes, add paragraphs etc, and to show which shape is active has been improved.
Paths between are more controllable

Lots of new shapes have been added.
Also lots of new examples and new tutorials have been added.
And the styling is way better hopefully.

Overall, the previous post was an unfinished try-out. This is hopefully a feature rich and (almost) finished product.

To be sure, I did read the faqs about reposting to show HN and it said it was probably OK if it was a major overhaul. For me it qualifies as such.

If the purpose of defense spending is just to provide jobs, then hire those people to do something else. When we say we want to spend less on defense, we want to spend that same money on something else (education in this case); where do you think that money is going to go? It is going to create jobs as well, and much more efficiently than defense spending does. When you pay someone to teach, you get both a job (the teacher) and an improved resource that can produce more later (the student). When you pay someone to make a weapon, you get the job, but the weapon isn't going to help produce more later (in fact, it will waste resources it blows up)
VirtualBox is a real piece of crap when it comes to support for small-time operating systems, and even Linux (no KMS, no DRM, etc). I strongly recommend qemu instead.
> I realize on HN "defense spending" is the prime evil, but that money also supports (if I had to swag it) hundreds of thousands of US jobs.

If we spent that same money in a different industry it would support hundreds of thousands of jobs there too.

At the extreme we could also spend this money paying people to dig holes and full them and still support just as many jobs.

As a country we have to stop thinking of govt spending as a flat cost and instead get back to thinking of it as an investment.

What does this money gain the country and when? Are we efficiently allocating our capital to maximise our return. When consider at the margin, will additional investment/production in area X get us better return than an additional dollar in Y?

In my opinion education has one of the highest returns available to a govt. And a pittance of the cost compared to other high return options.

Yea. It's not very hard - if you want something responsive, you have a limited amount of time between when you read input and when you present something on screen.

This delta can be greater than the rate at which you present images. For example, most game engines take 30ms to read input and simulate on a thread, then take 30ms to renders on another thread while the next frame is simulated. This means that they present something every 30ms, but the delay between input and rendering is 60ms. This delay can be up to 100ms and not be noticed by players.

> I've taken a class in college about the Linux kernel, and it's still amazing to see how complicated it actually is.

Complexity doesn't necessarily mean it's a masterpiece. A lot of it is just old and has been incrementally changed without being simplified in the mean time.

As a concrete example, the guide goes through the rather complicated mess of how syscalls worked. That complexity was the result of a series of optimizations and features added over time, but it wasn't a good design. These days Linux syscalls (on x86_64 anyway) are a good deal simpler than they are in the guide.

(Hey 0xAX, I don't suppose you'd like to update the guide?)
