usually you would go through seed funding, the series a,b, and possibly a1 and b1. If you entered c or d territory it meant that you still had a chance but vc would be following you very closely. After d, you could raise money, but it would be under very unfavorable conditions

That's another point, during college some tests were and multiple choice questions. They were manually graded and for each answer you needed to prove how did you get the answer. I don't remember any kind of automated grading system. Everything was done by hand, whether by the teacher or TA's

From my college experience I never needed a Ti or Hp calculator. Most of the questions did not require anything more complex than logarithms, exponential, root and trigonometric functions. A good question should be about concepts, not results. I remember a linear algebra test in where you had to solve a problem by inverting a matrix to get a result, the problem was that the matrix was so large that it could have taken the entire test time to get the result if done by hand. However if you were clever, and knew the matrix properties being tested, the matrix could be simplified and the result gotten in 3 steps. If you had a Ti or HP you could have entered the matrix and get the result, but the question would have lost its meaning

I’ve known people who has dropped out of college after receiving job offers during their internships. The problem is that some companies cap your your maximum pay and promotions unless you finish college even though you had excellent performance reviews. So you either stay on college and lose the job opportunity, or stay knowingly that at some point you’ll have to come back to college to finish your degree.

IIRC correctly the original Java VM was a stack based machine. That made sense when it was first created since a stack based machine is the simplest system you can create that run code and since it only need three registers, one for the instruction, one for the first data and one for the top of the stack for the other data. The problem is that you need to push and pop a lot from the stack during runtime which means more memory accesses and more time spent on gathering the data than on doing actual operations. That also underutilizes the processor registers since on a normal processor you would be using two data registers at most. This was one of the early issues with java running slowly on android and the reason of the creation of the Dalvik VM which was a register one.

From memory unreal tournament and other fps that used the same engine had support for opengl, glide, d3d , s3tc and software rendering. It was one of the most compatible render engine

Not sure if you read Generation Kill or watched the miniseries, but that is one of the main points. In there, there were two platoon commanders, Lieutenant Fick and Captain America(The book never reveals its name, and I think the series does, but I don't recall at this moment). While Lieutenant Fick was a competent officer that tried to kept the welfare of his troops, he often butted heads with its direct superiors since the order given to him could endanger the lives of his subordinates while not accomplishing nothing of value. In contrast Captain America, was an incompetent officer who gave reckless orders, was ignored by his troops and could have been possibly be charged with war crimes. At the end of the series, when the journalist is interviewing the battalion commander about why Captain America was never disciplined for his actions, the battalion commander answers that the same leeway that he gave to Lieutenant Fick was given to Captain America. In other words if he were to punish Captain America, he should also be punishing Lieutenant Fick. In retrospective is understandable, but when you read or watch it, you wonder why no action is being taken to discipline Captain America and why no one listens to Lieutenant Fick

The USA has 240 volt plugs. They are only used for high power appliances such as AC or ovens. If you want, you could add a plug for your high powered space heater AKA gaming PC.

I remember reading that rodents chewed car cables since the insulation was made using the same compound as soy and that attracted them, but in reality it was just they liked chewing on stuff. https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a21933466/does-your-car-ha...

I think the better word is tradeoff since there are no perfect data structures for each job. The hasmap has the advantage of O(1) access time but the drawback of memory usage, an unsorted nature and the depends on a good hashing function to minimize collisions. A vector is also O(1), but it has an upfront memory cost that cannot be avoided. A map has a O(Log(n)) access cost, but has less memory usage, is sorted by nature and the comparison function is easier to implement. Three similar data structures, but each with its own tradeoffs.

Well it had happened in the past when they phased out lead from gasoline. Older would run poorly because they were tuned for that particular gasoline type

Ground loops comes from the ground mismatch between two electrically connected devices. When you use an optical link, you isolate those two devices since there is no common ground and the hum goes away. Same if connect a battery device to a grounded device.
