There are 50 states, and a lot of private universities are on the top 50 list, and several states have more than one state university on the list (hi, California), so most states have zero. University of Connecticut seems to be #58.

Yes it depends on where you set the threshold. If you try to keep as close to your academic standards as possible, but also admit some kids from the bottom 25% of income then you'll get mostly Asians. If you set a much lower threshold and do a lottery as you propose it depends much more on the composition of the applicant pool.

As already mentioned by others, AMD won the console market because back then the only thing they could compete on was price.

Which coincidentally, the most important thing to Sony and Microsoft with regards to consoles ("make tons and sell tons" products) is cost of materials. Even getting that cost 1 cent cheaper still means a $1 difference over 100 units, $10 over 1,000 units, $100 over 10,000 units, and onwards. Remember, we're talking many millions of basically identical units sold.

AMD couldn't compete in performance nor efficiency, but they could absolutely compete in price, while both Intel and Nvidia couldn't due either to their business strategy or the logistics for Sony/Microsoft of procuring more materials from different suppliers.

So long as AMD can continue to undercut Intel, Nvidia, and any other contenders they will continue to dominate consoles.

It is definitely special hardware. Besides the Qualcomm chip, there’s a dedicated satellite antenna built in to supported iPhones. To add satellite functionality, other brands would also need to add satellite antennas to their phones.

The average developer doesn't put the same care into what they're developing the way they had to in the past.

Computers were slow in the 80s/90s, so if you wanted your program to run fast, you had to know how cache and RAM worked, and utilise what little power was there to the max. As computers have gotten faster, that knowledge has gotten less relevant to the average developer.

There are some fields where that knowledge is useful, like embedded systems, HPC or games, but they are a minority.

I won't deny there are some benefits in not needing to care - you can write programs faster (even if they perform slower), and some classes of bugs can be reduced (e.g. memory bugs). These are good things, but fundamentally our programs still move memory around and interface with the real world.

As more people forget (or aren't taught) to keep this in mind, we'll lose the ability to make things fast when we need to, and our software will get slower and slower until it's unusable.

On a related note, we're also not allergic to complexity the way we should be. The average developer doesn't have a problem using hundreds of libraries in a single project if it makes their job easier. Unfortunately this also makes programs slower, harder to debug, and increases the surface area for a vulnerability.

>Python is a crappy language, and always has been. It's just a happy accident that the ML folks glommed in to it.

Is it? I can't imagine making any large scale code with it, but the purposes of being a nifty and intuitively designed scripting front-end seems to work. A lot of the research industry still uses Matlab, so I shouldn't be too surprised Python popped up right behind it.
I disagree that they were magic - you could build a test renderer for yourself and see pretty easily how they'd work. The system as a whole was understandable, and it fit into an existing mental model: you implement this interface, and React will call your methods. The specifics of how and when it did were part of the system on the other side of the interface.

Hooks on the other hand are functions that you call, which implicitly rely on a magic global state and context, and you cannot use them like other JS functions. You can't conditionally call them or change the order of them, because they contain a unique ID based on call order, which is Spooky (and is why React has to build its own ESLint rules to make sure you don't mess it up!).

Don't get me wrong - I do think the ergonomics of hooks are a lot better, but I think at least part of that is due to it being a newer iteration of the API.
You can do it with standard ARM instructions these days.
I've seen YT videos of people building these stills to break down the plastic to 'diesel.' Normally they claim that they're 'recycling' the plastic and imply its an ingenious way to help better the environment. But there's a few things worth noting here:

1. The still needs a way to generate heat to work. A primitive method done in some poorer countries (and in DIY stills) is to use wood to heat it. Guessing the way his still works here relies on fossil fuels to incinerate the plastic (maybe butane or his own fuel -- but if using his own fuel then he would have needed to bootstrap it.)

2. I realize the article mentions this but unless you read the entire article carefully you may not notice this. A lot of people are just going to assume that the designer found a way to recycle plastic without realizing how insanely toxic what they're doing is. Even in the incinerators designed for this purpose scientists have found chemicals in their ashes that never break down from combustion.

3. The author of this article makes frankly a bizarre logical leap by saying that since plastics are already burnt in incinerators doing this isn't that different. They neglect to mention that incinerators are still horrible ways to dispose of waste and that plastic specifically can be recycled into other materials without burning it into a toxic mess.

Overall, the still will generate an extremely dirty fuel capable of being used by ancient engines. For the modern gentleman who gives absolutely zero fucks about the environment. A possible next step from this project would be to figure out how to run a car on nuclear waste so that your car can be a fukushima/chernobyl on wheels.

Building web apps with React is just much faster than doing it without, even when using Angular complex apps will always be complex.

You're right, but I haven't touched a React project in ages that wasn't using a fetch library of some kind that give you hooks.

Cause you're inevitably gonna want to track loading state, error state, refetch on error, revalidate etc etc.

swr or tanstack-query are great and remove the need for useEffects for API requests. For sure they come with their own overhead, but there isn't getting away from the complexity of handling API requests and all the possible paths that can happen.
the problem with useEffect is how much it gets used when it doesn’t have to be

its overuse makes it evident that hooks (or React in general) is poorly understood
Bollocks, physics is an actual scientific field and aerospace engineering is actual engineering (compared to say "software engineering" where it's engineering in name only), similarly there's barely anything scientific in the "nutritional science".

If you have a real scientific background and real engineering background you are way more likely to do a proper job.

It frustrates me that people think nutritional "science" is a serious scientific field. And that the "nutritional scientist" is somehow better equipped - they have barely done any real science a single day in their life.

Isn't useSyncExternalStore the recommended hook for API requests? And for making API requests I think most people recommend using a library. React-query, RTK or swr for example.

For accessing browser apis useEffects are the way to go, but those are usually extremely easy to understand in my experience. Or just use a library that provides the needed functionality.

> “We must fight against the influence of special interests in American politics.”

> “We must fight against the influence of Jews in American politics.”

To be fair, some people do use the former language to mean the special interests of "Jews." No all, but dog whistling does exist and dog whistling is explicitly about covert language. I don't think the special interest groups reference is a great example because it is a common phrase that is used to mean a lot of different things and isn't uncommon in various groups using covert language.
I've worked in many react codebases, some great some not, and the main predictor of the quality tends to be both the dev lead knowledge, the experience of the team and the learning vs churn out features culture. Same thing used to happen with jQuery BTW, only it was a lot easier to shoot yourself on the foot back then.

I feel like "X new library/framework's code is a mess" is the new "People don't want to work anymore" trope (that older workers have been saying for over 100 years).
Why would Michell have to be African-American? Didn't African-Africans exist in the medieval era?

Since when has the word "description" referred to a person's temperament?

The only time it seems that "complexion" refers to a person temperament is only when if taken literally it refers to a very dark-skinned person or what we call a "black man" in our era, like an African, a Melanesian or a South Asian.

For instance General Monck was described as a "black man" with a sanguine complexion, which should tell you that he was actually a "black man", because sanguine is the reddish-brown, or fawn color that Africans and South Asians exhibit.

Would that mean the "black" used to describe him meant he was sad and melancholy when on the other hand sanguine meant cheerful?

I think you should check the depiction of an English monarch on the frontispiece of Hobbes Leviathan, and also learn about Anton Wilhelm Amo, before concluding that a the term "black complexion" must refer to the temperament of an insightful natural philosopher.

This is the route May Mobility https://maymobility.com/ is taking with their AVs. I'm not sure where they're at now, but (I believe) they started by servicing old-age communities where the trips went to a few known destinations in low density areas.

Completely makes sense that you could have a person monitoring multiple AV trucks and take over driving when needed.

If you have dozens of components with dozens of uncontrolled side effects executing in unpredictable order, then nothing is going to help you until you get those effects under control. It'll still be bad architecture with or without hooks.
Probably because these colleges have 5,000 Maries to choose from. The article says Marie is perfect on paper and "checks all the boxes", but that's honestly not very inspiring and I'd guess that applicants/parents are optimizing for the wrong things.

> “She’s happy but often says, ‘Mom, I just wish I hadn’t studied. I would have gotten into the exact same schools.’” And Marie is probably right. Admissions scarcity is concentrated at the top of the rankings list; there are hundreds of four-year colleges that readily admit B and C students.

My experience is that they actually would have gotten into more / better schools

> people complain about not being able to handle all the useEffects, but they probably shouldn't be there in the first place

I think this is the crux of the issue. One's view of hooks depends a lot on the sorts of codebases they've worked in. Maybe the sun has always shone on you, and you've only ever worked in projects where hooks have been used sparingly and with great consideration.

You're very fortunate if so. I've seen some truly horrific hooks-enabled messes that have had to be outright abandoned because they became too complicated for anyone to understand or debug.
Was going to try it out, went to the docs, told me to go to the homepage with an alpha invite key and left the page. Maybe it's cool, but I'll never know.
I’m nowhere near audiophile level but I’m slowly upgrading my stuff

one thing I learned is to appreciate a lot of new music by how good it was mastered.

I mean yes, there’s a lot of good but badly recorded music, you don’t upgrade for those.
As someone who was into higher order components but left front end work before hooks were a thing, I’m wondering how the programming experiences are different are different between the two. It seems to me like more or less the same thing but hooks have more magic? Is it just a syntactic difference or are hooks a paradigm shift even further than HOC?
Nope, every scanline uses filter type 0 (no filtering). Also the filesize decreases as you increase image width, presumably because you decrease the overhead of the filter bytes.

I think the small size difference is just the difference in overhead of the framing formats (Zip encodes eg. local file headers and the central directory record) and compression options.

It could be useful, at the beginning, but sooner rather than later you’re running out of fuel. A wood gas car is infinitely renewable. Wood gas may not work as well in cities, but in a truly post-apocalyptic world cities are the first to go anyway.

In an SHTF situation, such as a country at war? I can sooner believe that, since plastics are more energy-dense than woods. It’s still not all that useful, but at least there is some minor niche it could possibly achieve.
Does this require a browser (or browser engine) for rendering (like Mermaid.js)? Or can it render (esp. to SVG) without a browser (like Graphviz)?

I was an audiophile when younger. Today I can't hear the cassette tape hiss anymore, whereas it used to bother me.

I no longer have a need for an audiophile stereo.

Last week I attended a dinner club that had a local jazz band playing. The music was painfully loud, as expected. I brought earplugs which distort the sound, but bring it down to an unpainful level. As far as I could tell, I was the only one with earplugs, other than the lead singer.

How are these people not deaf, especially the band?
I had the same thought when I was building out my home theater system. Cables are cables, they're all just copper runs with gold plated ends, I'll just get whatever.

Well, I was dead wrong. Cheap cables hiss and hum like crazy when there's no signal.

Turns what you're paying for with expensive cables is better shielding around the copper. Unless you have perfectly air gapped cables that don't touch anything electrically conductive, they'll pick up some static charge and interference over a long enough run, and it's very audible.

So yeah, get half decent shielded cables for long unbalanced runs to passive speakers. Or just use balanced cables with active speakers.
I respectfully disagree. I’ve passed the same thoughts back and forth in my mind before, but it’s mostly nostalgia.

Yes, some tools were much snappier on much crappier hardware, but they also lacked features, including safety and collaborative ones.

We have so many more people using computer devices and the internet now. We have to account for them to some extent and a lot of libraries do that for us, but it does make them heavier.

I’d say yes software has gotten fat and slow in a lot places, but also immensely more capable and more reusable.
Nominal GDP is irrelevant, unless we want to impress the economically illiterate. Let’s face it - the UK is rich but the people are poor. A lot wanted east europeans out because it reminded them if what they are: poor.
