We're talking about startups on a website mostly for programmers, right?

Programmers enjoy nearly free work schedule. I've seen people come at work at 7 in the morning and leave at three in the evening. Or come to work at 10 and leave at 7.

Second, work-life balance is paramount in Sweden. No one will bat an eye if you have to pick your kids early from kindergarten/school, go to a doctor's appointment, take a day off because you're sick etc.

The government even tries to combat exploitative employers by making it mandatory that employees take at least 20 days of vacation a year.
It's not quite that serious. It's fine to serve yourself with a lead crystal but you shouldn't be storing wine in a lead crystal decanter or something like that.

Right. If it's ended up on a production board that means one of two things.

1. They intend to use the microphone in the future

2. They disabled the microphone after having the boards manafactured right before shipping - what changed?

If they knew they weren't going to use it, why didn't they leave the microphone unpopulated? It would save on their BOM cost too, there had to be a reason.
I agree. It seems like this strategy makes only the most braindead applications of SIMD better (simple loops that can be vectorized by an arbitrary factor), but doesn't really do anything to help the meatier SIMD workloads. Most SIMD code isn't as simple as this, and the code that is usually isn't a significant factor in either developer experience or runtime.
Hey,Listen! allows companies to get ideas and feedback from their clients in a super easy way. The clients can leave ideas, comment on them, and like them, so the company knows which ideas are the most popular among its users.
Weird, your source says the opposite.

> Toxic metals sometimes imitate the action of an essential element in the body, interfering with the metabolic process resulting in illness. Many metals, particularly heavy metals are toxic

Metal toxicity is the correlation between density and reactivity.

Iron and manganese are limited exceptions where iron is about 84% of hemoglobin, which is about 80% of red blood cells, but its toxic (though in larger doses) matches almost exactly the implications of other metal toxicity.
I think Google is well past conspiracy territory. They are a company whose bottom line depends on collecting as much user data as possible; in an economy that compels them to improve their bottom line by any means available.

Why would you adjust to something you can't imagine doing for years? That sounds crazy.

Instead, learn what you can, save money, make connections, and then leave. As tech workers you are likely to be in high demand and could switch jobs, go contract, start a company (services or startup). Lots of options.

I worked at a job for a few years in my early 20s, had a quarter life crisis, and left to travel. After a few months I found myself pulled back to technology, and that showed me that while the company I was at wasn't a good fit, the domain was.

Also, the folks you work with in your first job may pop up again and again in your career, so don't burn any bridges when you leave.

Unfortunately, there's a lot of stuff that simply can't be bought local (even in major cities, let alone small towns). The Internet is necessary in these cases.

The good news is that there are plenty of smaller online stores that tend to be a bit more specialized, and as long as they accept something reasonably secure like PayPal or Bitcoin, I'm a lot less nervous about shopping on those sites instead.

I had a science test in high school with a question that involved something to do with calculating the air pressure inside an airplane at some high altitude. I went up to to the teacher and said "is this a trick question? Airplanes are pressurized at that altitude" He looked around the room nervously and then told me to assume the airplane wasn't pressurized.

Worst protest for them would be when a lot of people left at the same time. Project would be slowed down, they would have problems hiring, people who stay would be overwhelmed and left later.

Protesting against amazon and still working there means nothing, because you're still doing job for them, which means you accept the state of things, despite not tolerating it at the same time.
If you're working at a tech company, especially one the size of Microsoft, the only possible answer to that is "tell your boss, and cc whatever privacy / legal /... Head officer too".

If Jonny Law goes after you for that the company will cover you, because while they might be OK to take the company decision to cooperate, they can absolutely not have random rogue employees doing that. Since the threat of law is what may make those employees comply, they need to make is as little threatening as possible, thus full legal support.
It's not good form to post such information publicly. Also, it probably is in violation of a few confidentiality clauses you signed. On top of that, this also violates the author's privacy.

Throwaway for fear of being discriminated against based on this post.

I found out last year that my mentally and physically debilitating chronic illness is caused by mercury toxicity. This was after spending over a decade studying alternative medicine and reading the work of biochemists. I've come to the conclusion that doctors are not appropriate for treating many chronic illnesses--biochemists are.

I'm following a treatment protocol that was published in 1999, has it's roots in the 70s, and in addition to supplements uses medications that were invented in the 50s. It's nothing short of miraculous. There are thousands like me who are having equally miraculous results, including 4 close friends of mine.

It's sad how long it takes for legitimate cures to go mainstream. And this cure in particular has been repressed for political reasons, and probably also profit-motive reasons (although I suspect unconsciously). The people with this illness are routinely mocked by healthcare workers, claimed to be idiots by the mainstream media, and avoided in everyday life if they talk about their illness.

After this experience, I have zero faith in the current healthcare and political system to cure chronic illness. It would be better to give up on it entirely and let biochemists take the lead.

And it's not just the government/healthcare-system/big-pharma/whatever, it's everyday people who just repeat what they hear because it's easier than evaluating the evidence. And then they vote to keep the same system in place that fails millions.
Well you basically answer yourself in your last sentence - neither French nor Italian cuisine is aiming for similar taste experience as some taco stand. Since you are so mightily experienced, you for sure know that french cuisine is generally regarded as best in the world due to many reasons. That's a general comparison obviously, so picking some specific places here & there the comparison can end up differently.

You can also try to compare it to indian cuisine for example, which is fabulous for many people (including me) and reasons, but an attempt to compare those is an indication that you don't really have a clue about whole haute-cuisine experience. And lets not forget you considered some of British cuisine as something to compared to, which is... a bit clueless, isn't it.

But its good that you enjoy tacos, that's clearly more your type of experience.
Seriously. A lot of these proposals go veering off into second-order considerations ("Easier to decode!" "A few picojoules less energy") as I'd be very surprised if the bottlenecks are going to be from SIMD vs vector architecture ISA issues - as compared to, say, memory bandwidth or multiply-add bandwidth.

> Normal work day starts at 8am.

No, not necessarily.

Most of my career has been spent working in Sweden and/or for Swedish companies.

At only one company of the several I have worked for — my first programming job — were employees expected to arrive at 08:00.

All the others have started at 09:00, with a fair degree of flexibility.

This isn't to say Sweden is some paradise — it categorically isn't — but let's at least be accurate with our numbers.
Guitar strings (or at least the ones I usually buy) tend to be a lot harder/tougher than your typical electrical wire (electrical wire usually ain't designed to be stretched to high tension and strummed/plucked repeatedly). Not that surprising that a $10 tool would have issues with them.
It is significantly harder to attain a high quality of life at decent cost in Stockholm these days. Especially since the housing market is high, but stalling, and there is a recession looming. Sweden pushing itself as a good home for startups seem to largely correlate with becoming a worse place to live in, and therefor to a large extent be posturing. There have also been more obviously successful startups in the past then there are now. Moving to Stockholm could still be the right move for some people, but I would advice looking at the situation carefully beforehand.
Doesn't that very much depend on where you are though? E.g., with respect to the equator, major bodies of water and landmasses, mountain ranges, prevailing weather conditions. Also perhaps on seasons.

I can understand that it might be just an ancient tradition originating from a particular part of the world, that we've turned into a convention, but it loses meaning when you go elsewhere.
Step 1: Get a PhD.

I'm not joking. While there are exceptional situations where you might get to work on interesting projects, by far the most reliable way to do it is through an academic degree.
It depends a lot on how much the company that you apply to would need you.
Of course there is also a factor of luck and dependency on the immigration authorities' processes (particularly now that Brexit is said to occupy a lot of resources).
But if you have a skill set which is highly in need, your chances should not be tooo bad.

Be aware though that finding a good apartment in Stockholm is extremely hard right now. Although even the craziest rents are way below the SF Bay Area (but of course the pay is, too).

> Believe it or not, but managing state is dead simple with just vanilla javascript.

Keeping state and the view in sync, however, is not. For example, if you have a list of TODO's that the user can edit in the browser, and that you want to be able to send to the back-end, every time the user adds a TODO, you'll have to remember to update both the model and the DOM. Likewise after an edit or deletion.

These tools really do solve a problem.

There's an interesting Slate Star Codex interpretation of this question:

https://slatestarcodex.com/2019/02/19/gpt-2-as-step-toward-g...

(It's not AGI, but it's more of a step than it seems at first.)
Yeah, other examples include image codecs, such as JPEG: the DCT performed on the 8x8 blocks can benefit from SIMD, but the lanes aren't independent at all (matrix transposes, various intra-block additions).
There was overlap, for a short time even advanced, cross technology overlap.

Amigas, which never were really 100% netizen computers had their heyday in the BBS years.

But in that twilight, there was a network stack which on the Amiga side said to AmigaOS "yes, I'm a BSD network socket stack, trust me. You want a socket? Here's a socket!"

While in reality, it took that "socket" and piped it (with some simple multiplexing) over a modem, to a Unix program on the other side and this Unix program opened the real socket on the Unix side. So, while there were actual real network stacks for Amigas, this one was faster and smaller due to it not actually running on the Amiga, but on some Unix host.

Back to my point, was that my little brother downloaded mp3s through one of these contraptions to his Amiga. A brutally specced out Amiga (68060 third party CPU) could just barely play a 128kpbs mp3 in mono.

> Wouldn't we be able to process 16 of them at the same time?

Yes you would if you had 4 execution ports available and no data dependencies. Of course, those execution ports could also be processing 256 bit wide SIMD registers instead of just 32 bits. So it's a bad idea.

Instruction count is also higher, which is never a good thing.

No.
Or just use victualia (from late Latin), which appears to be derived from victus (nourishment) and vīvō (live, survive).

A 100% literal one-to-one translation yields a passage in Icelandic which would be considered good Icelandic: Flugvélar gefa frá sér svo mikinn koltvísýring að það skaðar gufuhvolfið.

“Vél” (machine) has an amazing history. It’s from the same roots as wheel, wile (as in cunning), and will. And some other proto-indo-european words that carry connotations of prophecy and bending the world to one’s will through divination and cunning and guile, and consecrating it to holiness. You know, with machines. Vélar. Crafted from thought and understanding of the deeper layers of the world.

Auctions are pretty hit or miss, and buying cars at auctions only plays out if you do it a lot (kind of like VC: you get a lot of turds and one unicorn).

Best way is to look for a specific model, and educate yourself of the weak points. I always buy cars from people, not businesses since their warranties usually don't mean much. I'd rather buy a car on the cheap and use the remaining budget to replace things than to buy a more expensive car where the dealer assures you the timing belt has been changed recently.

For 3-5K I would buy an early 2000s Toyota Camry, Honda Accord, Mitsubishi Galant or Subaru Legacy. These things are bulletproof, insanely reliable. Higher mileage is no problem, but learn how to spot worn clutches (if you get the manual) and replace the timing belt. At this price/age they won't be flawless and you won't look cool, but I care about reliability and costs over everything else.
So can someone explain what the author means by the problem of #3:

>However, there are times when we need to pass an extra parameter. In those cases, we cannot use bind because we cannot use bind with arrow functions.

But you can pass the extra argument to the arrow function directly: `onChange={handleChange('name')}`. And use it as:

handleChange = (field) => (e) => {
this.setState({ [field]: e.target.value });
}

Sure it still has the problems of arrow functions I think the arguments against it were worded poorly.

Regulatory Limits for Occupational Exposure

Many of the recommendations from the ICRP and other groups have been incorporated into the regulatory requirements of countries around the world. In the United States, annual radiation exposure limits are found in Title 10, part 20 of the Code of Federal Regulations, and in equivalent state regulations. For industrial radiographers who generally are not concerned with an intake of radioactive material, the Code sets the annual limit of exposure at the following:

1) the more limiting of:

A total effective dose equivalent of 5 rems (0.05 Sv)

or

The sum of the deep-dose equivalent to any individual organ or tissue other than the lens of the eye being equal to 50 rems (0.5 Sv).

2) The annual limits to the lens of the eye, to the skin, and to the extremities, which are:

A lens dose equivalent of 15 rems (0.15 Sv)

A shallow-dose equivalent of 50 rems (0.50 Sv) to the skin or to any extremity.

The shallow-dose equivalent is the external dose to the skin of the whole-body or extremities from an external source of ionizing radiation. This value is the dose equivalent at a tissue depth of 0.007 cm averaged over and area of 10 cm2.

The lens dose equivalent is the dose equivalent to the lens of the eye from an external source of ionizing radiation.

This value is the dose equivalent at a tissue depth of 0.3 cm.

The deep-dose equivalent is the whole-body dose from an external source of ionizing radiation. This value is the
dose equivalent at a tissue depth of 1 cm.

The total effective dose equivalent is the dose equivalent to the whole-body.

Declared Pregnant Workers and Minors

Because of the increased health risks to the rapidly developing embryo and fetus, pregnant women can receive no more than 0.5 rem during the entire gestation period. This is 10% of the dose limit that normally applies to radiation workers. Persons under the age of 18 years are also limited to 0.5rem/year.

Non-radiation Workers and the Public

The dose limit to non-radiation workers and members of the public are two percent of the annual occupational dose limit. Therefore, a non-radiation worker can receive a whole body dose of no more that 0.1 rem/year from industrial ionizing radiation. This exposure would be in addition to the 0.3 rem/year from natural background radiation and the 0.05 rem/year from man-made sources such as medical x-rays.
It never ceases to amaze me, that despite the pattern of behaviour, people continue to be willing to consider that Google/FAANGs/politicians/etc are just a bit thick and don't get it.

How to Increase Height
http://www.doctoradvice.org/how-to-increase-height.html

How to Increase Height

Height is necessary parameter to judge person’s overall personality and self confidence. Height is a parameter not the necessity to determine the capabilities of individual. Being short does not mean that person is incapable but short height shows the medical condition or deficiency in person. Short statured people not only suffer from lack of confidence, but also face certain difficulties in some aspects of their lives. Small height is considered as a sign of undeveloped body. Height becomes a problematic issue in many phase of life like in job, in marriage etc.
