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 first-born home from t

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 respective names imply, but i

“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, work ethic, luck, etc.

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 of feelings and/

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 do apologize if I cam

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 the three valves). Mayb

This is an interesting and thorough response, and I liked reading it, but GP was talking about internal, captive-audience stuff. Box is an app you sell. B2B, yes, not B2C, so your users are “enterprise.” But it’s still a product that compet

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.

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. https://news.ycombi

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 really made

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 statistics.

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.
