I’ve been thinking about that on my own lately. It’s like the whole human race has imposter syndrome and thinks there needs to be an “adult” in the room. I don’t know how many parents feel this way when bringing their…
> Unit testing of hook based code is non existent IME. It’s some kinda funky E2E feeling test. I’m guessing you’re referring to the fact that you can’t access component state like you can with class components. If so,…
I think you’re probably referring to the lifecycle methods, which have relatively clear and unambiguous names in class components. The thing is, those names may make you feel comfortable that they do what their…

“or less” is doing a lot of work in that first paragraph. Running plays typically only last like two seconds, maybe four if they get to the second level (linebackers). Also, I agree the “math is tiny“ but the talent,…
Metaphors are of course imperfect by their very nature, but more importantly, the phrase “a roller coaster of emotions” isn’t even really a metaphor. It’s a figure of speech that means one is going through a wide range…
> The original class components were much easier to understand. Class components only made you feel like they were easier to understand because the method names indicated an intuitive lifecycle. But the reality under…
My point was more about the tuning slides on a trumpet, and that it doesn’t have a “fixed tuning.” It’s almost like a trombone in a way: you can play any tone you want within a certain range by adjusting the slides. (I…
I hope this doesn’t come across as rude, but have you ever held a trumpet? Even if you’ve never played one, you can see they have adjustable tuning slides (a main one at the first bend, then a smaller one off each of…

I have nothing special to add here, just wanted to bring attention to the excellent episode of The Good Place (S02E06) that handles the Trolley Problem in a humorous (and very literal) way.
Phoenix is great for about six months of the year, but man is it hot in the summer. It is a dry heat, yes, but 115 is 115, humid or not.
Excellent read. I also liked his history of algebra: Unknown Quantity (https://www.amazon.com/Quantity-Real-Imaginary-History-Algeb...).

Agreed – see my comment lower down the thread. But even some athletic departments that are net in the red have football programs that make money on their own. Their coaches are paid market value, more or less.…
The parent comment to my previous was completely rewritten after I replied. It originally said something like "those athletic programs make tons of money for their schools." I was just saying that only a relative few…
That's a common misconception. Very few college athletic departments are in the black. And even among those, usually only football and men's basketball make any money at all. Sorry no link...should be easy to google…
But all you're really saying with sports coach comment is that, among people in a sector that is not profit-oriented or known for high wages, the highest paid employee is the biggest differentiator of success ("amateur"…

It really depends on the tense. I'm from Texas and "needs fixing" sounds completely normal (although it sounds even more natural as "needs fixin'"), while "needs fixed" is awkward as heck.
