You seem to be very misinformed because you are overgeneralizing your family's experience. I don't blame you, but you are very wrong and you need to research this yourself, because right now you are angry over an imaginary situation.

>there are lot of procedures to formally migrate into the US.

There are specialized visa for celebrities, athletes, people with extraordinary abilities, investors, refugees from certain countries, and qualified asylum seekers. Almost none of the of people in Mexico will qualify for these visas, and there is nothing they can do to change that.

For everyone else in Mexico, there are 3* ways to immigrate to the US.

1. You have close family who are US citizens, who are willing to sponsor you.

2. You marry a US citizen.

3. You have an occupation that is in high demand, and you can find an employer to sponsor you. (For most professions the employer must also win one of a few slots in a visa lottery)

For all of those categories except refuge and asylum, your family must make 1.5x above the federal poverty level for your family size including yourself (this disqualifies most of the Mexicans who do have family in the US), you must pass a Civil Surgeon exam, and a background check.

If you don't fit into one of those categories there is no way for you to legally immigrate to the US. There is nothing you can do about it. There is no line to wait in. There is no immigration visa to apply for.

When you see poor Mexican families crossing the border, it’s because they had absolutely no way to legally immigrate. Even if they waited 20 or even 50 years, they wouldn’t get in because there is no line, no process.

>You need an immigrant visa for starters and this is not easy to get - you can be rejected for several reasons and need to reapply.

Again unless you fit one of the above categories, and the vast majority of Mexicans do not, this does not exist. There is nothing to apply for.

*There are also a small amount of diversity visas awarded each year in a lottery. People born in Mexico and most other large countries don't qualify for the diversity lottery.

Another great option to bypassing the limitations of functional components is using a higher order component library like recompose[0]. Does have somewhat of a higher learning curve, but I personally consider it a must have tool on all my projects.

I'm wondering which part? Theres a lot of weird stuff going on on the prescription side of things but thats more about the weird formats that get used.

Most of the internal and data stuff is pretty solid but never saw any of the systems stuff from the machines themselves so unsure how messy that might be.

They've always been big on contractors so it wouldn't surprise me on the readability of some of that stuff.

Why am I not the ultimate authority on what pronoun best refers to me? Why do I need to try and _convince_ somebody that no, despite whatever you might think, the appropriate pronoun is "he"?

Imagine a dialogue where Marcus introduces his colleague Sam to somebody.

Marcus says, "This is Sam, he's a real hard worker." Sam says, "Excuse me, I'm a woman and prefer female pronouns". Marcus says, "Uh, yeah right. I don't believe you."

Who's the unreasonable party, here? Is it Sam, who's stated their identity and preference? Or is it Marcus, who feels like Sam needs to do something to convince him of her femininity? Why is Marcus's belief about Sam's identity the record as opposed to the statement from the primary source?

You've said that your issue here is that people get corrected in impolite ways, but if people just _believed everybody when somebody stated a pronoun preference_, that problem would go away.
> Part of the return the public is supposed to see for granting legal protection to IP is that the IP is then made widely available (as well as eventually entering the public domain) and can be built upon for personal use, commentated upon, etc.

That's really well said. A bit of a tangent, but it's similar to how software patents should be as well. If you want to patent a software feature, then you have to include a working code sample and that sample code loses copyright protection forever.

The big issue for me is most of these courses aren't even full courses in the sense of a college course. Your typical college course will be 16 weeks and cover maybe 15-20 chapters (400-600 pages of textbook material) during the course.

Most MOOCs I see are basically the equivalent of 2-4 textbook chapters worth of material and even that materials is watered down greatly.

If I am going to spend the time learning something, I want to learn it at a high-quality level, not at a basic introductory level.
This looks like a nice but not enormous improvement to React.

First, I really like how these hooks are optional. You can still use the current class-based mechanisms wherever you want. Existing code will keep working the exact same way.

For the specific hooks they provide:

`useState` seems like a slight improvement over using `this.state`, at least for simpler use cases. You save about 5 lines of object-oriented setup, which is nice. You also avoid scattering your code all over the place - you can now initialize your state variables in the same place you are using them. The only downside I can see is that if your initial state is constructed in a complicated way, `useState` doesn't seem to make it easy to do that only once. When you state is just initialized as 0 or null it's fine.

`useEffect` looks a little confusing because it is passing a bunch of anonymous functions around. It seems like a slight improvement if you have a lot of side effects that need cleanup, because you can put the code in one place instead of several different functions.

Hard to say how useful custom hooks will be. It might be easier now to put functionality that uses state in third-party libraries. For example, this `useDragGesture` hook: https://twitter.com/grabbou/status/1055521332031512576

The last thing that seems clear is that React embracing more of a "functional programming" direction. I think some people will like this and some won't. The nice thing is that you don't have to go all one way or the other - this change seems like it is really about making all of React's features available if you do want a functional programming style, since all of these features continue to exist in an object-oriented style.
If someone just getting started in front end dev as a hobby and knows HTML, CSS classes, IDs, selectors, basic inheritance rules and the most of the top commonly used CSS declarations but nothing about centering or aligning elements, other than abusing the box model to move elements around the screen:

e.g.

.class {
margin-bottom: -50px !important;
}

would you recommend starting with CSS Grid or Flex box tutorials for learning alignment and why?

I'm getting the hang of {flex: # # #%;} grow, shrink, basis construct, but is CSS grid the future and should I cut my losses and start there? My time is limited as this is not my main profession.

Thanks in advance.
>This is completely absurd. How many current great relationships would have never existed under such a rule?

How many great relationships/working relationships wouldn't be ruined because of that rule?

How many people wouldn't have lives and careers ruined because of that rule?

Frankly if you love someone that damn much, move to a different job and avoid the potential conflicts that are involved. Good luck arguing that a boss absolutely needs the option to date a subordinate because what if a serious relationship never happens?

I mean it's nice if you can pull examples out of the air when it worked out for two people. But for everyone else? What's the ratio of happy couples to victims do you need to tilt scales to one side or the other?
That's also only for value they extract from being the default search engine (which probably means they are used by 95+% of users). On Android they can also count on being the default for maps, mail, browser, and app distribution (not to mention that Youtube is usually pre-installed, and that they have been forced to admit that they collect location data from Android devices even when location services are turned off). So they have the opportunity to collect vastly more data and target vastly more advertising.
There can be other issues in life, such as interpersonal issues or stress reactivity that lead to addiction probably far more often than a lack of a job or money. See Michael Jackson, Prince, Demi Lovato, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Tom Petty... the list is endless. Virtually anyone can become addicted if they try these drugs and are dealing with stress.
That's quite amazing - you write like a native English speaker. I would not have imagined that English is your second language! Very, very impressive work and you should be quite proud of yourself.
Yes, docking station + 4k@60Hz + builtin laptop screen. Works fine, though there's an annoying bug where occasionally the updated screen sizes won't be reflected properly on the secondary screen. Reboot works as a workaround, I hear there's a less annoying one but I haven't tried it myself. So: not perfect, but not bad enough for me to throw it out :-)

If you've ever had to deal with out fo date, page builder generated shortcode messes, that is actually a problem that people would like to solve :D

You can't have social mobility without wage growth, so I'm not sure what you're getting at.

And it doesn't matter if it's not the same job. The argument has always been about opportunity and the key point of this article is for people who start out in the lowest income quintile, the average wages doubles over time.

That's opportunity.
As an automotive mechanic, this is awesome. You have no idea how many sensors/controllers in a car can only be reset by violating the DRM.

Example: the suspension control computer for newer fords (so far just raptor and newer commercial F series) is separate from the ECU, and if it faults out you need to buy a new $2500 computer and sensor pack. You can, however, replace a commonly blown diode or fuse on the computer but opening the case causes the device to stay "in fault/service"

With a raspberry pi and a bit of python however you can reset this tamper code once the whole assembly is closed. but since it "violates the DRM" most shops generally just bill for the part and labor.

> The kernel ABI is about the only stable thing you can rely on (which is something you _can't_ rely on for macOS or Windows).

In Windows's case, technically accurate but not really relevant, since the interface for working with the base DLLs like kernel32, user32, etc. hasn't changed.

If internet traffic is anything like road traffic then the presence of a highway would generate more traffic. Having a crappy connection pretty much guarantees that there is little traffic!
Agree. This looks like spam to me.
Alas I doubt the colliding bodies were solid and cooled enough for non vapor water yet, so fossils if any, would be limited to things like volcanic vent single cell organisms or virus.
+1 I can concede that there are likely better technical implementations than where Gutenberg is at now. (Ghost's Koenig editor with the open block/card model is great, if much simpler and cutting corners by lacking Edge browser support and the ability to add custom cards.)

WordPress has always been a project where user happiness outweighs developer happiness, though, as much as I'd love for it to at least bring developer happiness inline. It will be interesting to see what the overall reaction is when 5.0 lands and the editor starts to become more widely used and accepted.

There are a lot of gotchas with the object-oriented way of doing these things too. Don't set `this.state` directly, don't forget to keep your side effect logic in `componentWillMount` parallel to your cleanup logic in `componentWillUnmount`, et cetera.

I think she probably realized, that's why she brought her mom and conservative clothes.

Sometimes one way to win is to play along and lead your opponent into a trap.

Granted the trap didn't work as https://www.linkedin.com/in/rdevaul is still a director at X. Propositioning people and telling them about your open relationships during an interview process then inviting them to a drug infused festival should lead to not being a director anywhere in my opinion but maybe I am old-fashioned.
The example images at your first link are much more informative than the OP link. Photo pairs should be compared after normalizing the total brightness of each image file. (Heck, I could take a single photo and display it at two different brightness settings and it would give basically same impression as the OP article to anyone not looking super carefully.)
A home mortgage is secured by the home and is usually non-recourse. Your personal net worth can never go negative because of the mortgage liability. It's all upside as far as the homeowner is concerned, or at least loss is limited to your initial down payment. The price for this is the interest rate you pay, which has factored into it a risk premium; and if you don't make the industry standard 20% down payment you literally pay for additional mortgage insurance.

A secured, non-recourse loan is not a personal liability. In terms of accounting, it's its own thing, like a limited liability company. That's how you need to think of it. For better or worse there's no place in a cut-throat capitalist society for people who can't wrap their heads around that.

I think he's referring to the version that Dell ships with the laptop. But that laptop has been out of support from Dell for so long I don't know why this is a problem, it's not like you were going to be able to call them up and get support on it anyway.

In my experience Ubuntu on Dell laptops tends to just work. Even things you might not expect like the volume keys on the keyboard.

I think this is a really positive solution to creating a streamlined functional api.

However, in its simplicity (and hidden magic), I fear that it won't encourage junior devs to understand what's actually going on, and thus may lead to bad code (eg monster components with lots of side-effects running on render).

In a way, this reminds me of MeteorJS, which was awesome for new devs getting up to speed with a powerful JS environment under the hood. However, by internalizing much of that power, it became too closed off, too difficult to build and compose new patterns around. And is now mostly irrelevant. Not saying that's React's future (I'm all-in on React and excited for this), just a concern / thought.
The email was from 2015, but he had left Google in 2014, so it wasn't sent on company time/servers.

Even if it had been sent earlier, Andy Rubin had been named in enough patent lawsuits and deposed enough times to know that multiple plaintiffs had lawyers billing $700/800 per hour (at the very least) to go through all his corporate account's messages. He must have had tens of litigation holds.
I can only speak of my experience. Adam smith pointed out that the rich will always dominate the poor, as we are small and we can talk to each other. This has been my experience as well.
Good thing then that, as the page says, "There are no plans to remove classes from React.".
You also can call functions that call functions that set up hooks. What if those functions have control flow? Must we build linters that recursively taint any hook-touching code segments?

Since Fiber, React has become difficult to reason about. There is a stateful crawler that is going up and down and sideways in your hierarchy, running code with side effects and telling you that it will isolate those side effects. The golden brick road is surrounded by briars, because you cannot know the nuances of that renderer’s contracts, because you cannot read the code of that renderer, because it’s too dense to understand. I miss the days when React was a simpler “dive” than Angular in this regard, and I could boast about its simplicity. In the interest of efficiency, we have forgotten how to climb the walls of our garden.
I'd buy art (and listen to music) generated by an AI, but I'll admit that I think some creative products lose a bit of their essence when not created by humans.

We know math and science can be found within art: measures and half measures in music, the golden ratio in painting, etc. Optimizing for these mathematical properties seems a bit like cheating for lack of a better word. There are many musicians and artists without classical training that encounter these attributes on their own, and manipulate them in different ways. I think part of the reason why the arts are such a great platform for human creativity is because of this.
CLEP hands down. I was able to graduate in less than 3 years because I started taking CLEP exams while I was in high school. I also took AP exams as well. Saved me tens of thousands in tuition fees, no joke.

People ask me how I was able to graduate so quickly and with no debt. All thanks to CLEP and AP exams.

They also likely use inflation statistics that are problematic, at best.

When considering consumables, we've had pretty reasonable inflation and people are making more than their parents. But if you were to calculate inflation based on prices for things that don't benefit from advances in our production abilities (commodities, equities, housing, education, health care, etc), we'd be making nowhere near as much as previous generations when adjusted for inflation using that calculation.

Affording a car, TV, computer and food to feed ourselves isn't that difficult for many people. It's the life-altering purchases that are slipping farther and farther from the reach of the middle class.
Word. I'm a female undergrad in mathematics, and the department is constantly trying to get me involved with female-oriented STEM events, offering to sponsor me for "women in STEM"-type conferences, etc etc. I refuse on principle.

It's well-meaning, probably, but really gets on my nerves sometimes. I want to be a mathematician, not a "female mathematician". It feels like I have this bright red sign covering my face that says "FOSTER DIVERSITY HERE". It's okay guys! I'm already fostered!
I remember reading some SC strategy thing that showed that the tech upgrades aren't true upgrades in terms of mass to DPS; the textbook example being the mass equivalent of T1 uef mechs putting out a notably higher DPS than a aeon colossus. While that stark of a discrepancy isn't useful in practice, the continual pumping out of a lower tier to support a spear of your current tech level to beat out a mass equivalence of just the higher tech level is a viable strategy in the mp
The problem is that is an infinitely arbitrarily moving goalpost. The issue isn't even clear with in the specifics of Rubin's situation. If someone directly reports to you then the answer is obviously no. But from the article it seems like some of these relationships which were inappropriate were with people who were only tangentially in his chain of command. And some not at all. What happens when you start at the same level but are promoted to different levels? If you're responsible for making your company Billions of dollars a year the way Andy Rubin is you can easily argue he shouldn't be able to date anyone in that company at all without there being an unacceptable power dynamic. But as someone worth close to a billion dollars that's probably true of any relationship he's in. Google has literally millions of employees, is it ok to say he can't date any of them? That's why I said it's a tricky issue with no good answers. It's easy to say people should know this or know that but the fact is different people know and believe different things. You have to have a codified policy. And if you can't codify a policy that works in every case then you don't have a good one.

Yeah, there are lots of little things out there. My wife and I were just discussing how as Canadians, we don't perceive ourselves to have any accent and sound just like "normal" people on American TV, however after she speaks with US based co-workers or folks she meets when she travels, they instantly know after only a simple Hello or maybe 3 words that she is Canadian (and they point it out!). There are just certain words that we pronounce just a tiny bit different that we don't notice because we can say it the Canadian or American way interchangeably, but to Americans who aren't inundated with Canadian TV like we are with American media, we believe they can instantly detect any deviation from their culture's norms. It's kind of maddening because we can't detect the other way around nearly as easy.

She said she'd been caught on words such as Hello, Syrup and Being, to name a few. Perhaps it was just that she said Hello in a happier tone or with different emphasis? I'm not sure, that one seemed ridiculous.

Imagine trying to change all those words you don't even realize you are saying different unless you repeat it with the person multiple times.
Dang it. Fixed.
