It is expensive to live there. If you're a programmer, you will live a far more comfortable life living and working in Poland than you would in Sweden, despite how much Swedes tend to look down their nose at the Polish.

I speak from experience.

If you're working a low/zero skill job, you would be far better off in Sweden, although the market is extremely competitive.

Sweden has a major problem with housing, so you can forget renting an apartment in a major city — you will spend roughly 18 years on a waiting list to be able to rent anything in the centre of Gothenburg. This isn't hyperbole.

Just about everyone speaks English. Some younger people actually speak English more correctly than a significant proportion of the English population in England. Unsurprisingly, learning Swedish language and culture helps you blend in. It's not a particularly difficult language anyway.

My chronic illness turned out to be mercury poisoning. It has a wide ranging affects depending on your genetics and other environmental factors, and is known to cause a large variety of symptoms. I have 4 close friends who have similar-but-different problems than me, and they also found out it was mercury toxicity. I'm convinced this is an epidemic that the healthcare industry refuses to evaluate for a variety of political and financial reasons. I was an environmental engineer before I became too sick to work, so I know a thing or two about the politics of toxins.

The cure is Andy Cutler Chelation therapy. There is a $99 hair test that is very reliable in giving a diagnosis. I went from not being able to stand up or listen to someone speak an entire sentence to being someone who can pass as a normal human being, and I continue to improve rapidly.

It's worth a shot. Best wishes. Feel free to message me.

The word "placebo" has been used against me over and over. It is frequently used as a justification for ignoring chronically ill people. It suggests that we are incapable of feeling anything physically real in our bodies.

Imagine being in their shoes. Are you prepared to move to the other side of the globe on a moment’s notice if you’re unemployed? Do you have the funds to do that, such as moving your precious items, and breaking your lease? If you have a family, are you prepared for the impact it will have on them (this guy’s child has health care concerns)? What would you be prepared to put up with in order to avoid that?

Also, many just think of the US as home despite not being a citizen. Many who worked for me went to college here on a study visa. This is the only home they’ve known their adult life. They wouldn’t know the first thing about how to live if they went back to their native country.
As people could - in theory - have with the security system, yet apparently didn't.
"Harmful" doesn't mean "so dead in the water that it doesn't actually have performance gains". Intel wouldn't have integrated SIMD if it didn't work at all; that's not the criticism. Rather, the claim is that the performance gains are not well justified by the technical debt they bring to the architecture. The performance gains are not as good as they could be with the vector approach, which has better dynamic and static code density, doesn't horribly proliferate the instruction set, and allows for tuning without recompilation of code to use different instructions.
Yes, but that does not replicate the view and configuration. What about custom fields? How does that work with indexer? And how do they sync?

The advantage of integrated solutions is that you have less work to replicate your workspace on a new device, often even no work at all. How well does that work with indexer? Spotlight does not even work indepedant of the platform, tracker is Gnome-ware, does it integrate with KDE or Non-KDE?
Sounds incredible to me that anyone would build anything important in the cloud without backups. Seriously, clouds aren't magic, they are just someone else's computer.
From the other side of the equation: my grandpa runs the Amazon storefront for a charity for which he volunteers (said charity sells donated books in support of the local library system). He sells the big-ticket stuff on Amazon (usually at a fraction of the lowest price, which still brings in plenty of money given the acquisition cost is effectively zero), and anything not valuable enough to break even on shipping (or otherwise doesn't get sold on Amazon) gets sold in a physical storefront next to one of the libraries (big-ticket books being sold individually, and the other books being sold in bulk by the customer filling a plastic shopping bag full of books at a flat rate).

One of the weird things about Amazon is that it doesn't give you an easy way to provide photos for the item you yourself are selling (e.g. your used copy of a book), and if your item is similar enough to an existing item (e.g. same UPC or ISBN or whatever), Amazon will railroad you toward using the existing listing (but will still put you in the "new and used" list).

In other words: the same Amazon quirks that seem to benefit counterfeiters also seem to benefit my grandpa's charity, so I guess I should be grateful and appreciative when I get a knockoff at my doorstep.
Where Is My Privacy?
Yes you do, you have to give the type of the state in the 'extends' clause: 'class MyComponent extends React.Component<TProps, TState> { ... }'. If you omit TState, an empty object {} is assumed for state.
And you have to specify the type when updating the state via .setState(), because setState() auto-patches/merges the state. So its fine to pass a Partial<TState> to setState.

With Hooks, the auto-patching goes away, so your call to setMyCustomState() always requires an argument of type TState.

There are similar issues if you use the 'static defaultProps = { ... }' on a class - you have to manually specify the type of defaultProps - often it is Partial<TProps>
This is not really about infosec, this is about privacy and data protection. And you can try to play this down as much as you want, but I think this is another symptom how much the current discussion about how much data gathering is OK is needed.

Thanks coleifer, I understand that the current development path may look odd, but it's definitely not the first time: the critiques for Lua scripting or Pub/Sub where much stronger AFAIK :-) However I want to really share what is the process behind and why certain features like ACLs are so important (for reasons very different than the ones you may guess I think, that is, no enterprise customers in need for security), and why RESP3 has out-of-band data channels support (even if they are not implemented by the server). I'll write a blog post today, and reply here with the address. Cheers!

This. Registering is very easy, at least in Germany. I did it because I stumbled upon an event that did a mass registration, but you can also request a kit that contains everything you need to register. Just send the cotton swab (?) back, it's easy and no pain involved. Please look up whether there's an organization near you that offers services like this.

I figured it out -- the problem is that you cannot change the encryption parameters for a room, as any new m.room.encryption events are explicitly ignored[1]. I set up a new room and sent a custom state event and it worked.

There is obviously a reason why you can't disable encryption once enabled, but it does suck that fields within m.room.encryption which are entirely advisory (since as far as I know the current implementation doesn't block messages that use old sessions) can't be changed.

It's good to see that the session is being rolled somewhat frequently though. This does explain some of my questions about why the old-school key backups kept getting larger even though I haven't joined any new chats.

Price transparency is not optional for SAAS products. Seems to be a well kept secret on their website. Instant turn off for me. It means there are hidden costs, special deals at the discretion of some sales person, and other sales BS you have to deal with. I see this as an anti pattern for a SAAS service. We pay for lots of SAAS stuff at the company I run; we don't talk to sales people for any of that stuff ever. We engage with their support when stuff is broken. But not sales.

Redis is a great product but I fail to see the valuation that comes with a 60M investment (a billion+?). Yes, the cloud offered variety could potentially be interesting but competing products are available and this seems to be a commodity product running on commodity hardware. AWS already offers it so do others, I believe.
Hard to say.

I think the branch itself is too immature to have as much clout as it does, but we'd make a lot of progress if they'd start listening to their patients more than they listen to their drug reps.

This sounds quite optimistic. How would microcode deal with allocating registers, or nested data parallelism? You are describing transformations that usually happen fairly early in compiler optimization pipelines, and pushing that down to microcode would bring huge complexity.
The linked React guide is intended to be a pretty comprehensive tutorial — not a getting started guide in the same sense. I wouldn’t say they’re comparable in how much about either of them teaches you about using a library. Maybe it’s not obvious from the wording.

FWIW, I think the current introductory material on the React site is not as effective as how things were in the early days. IMHO, a significant benefit of React in its original form was its simplicity. The whole API practically fit on a single screen. You could write a tutorial that showed the basics of rendering a component or two on a single screen. Today React itself has become more complicated, and the tooling around it even more so, and I'm not sure that extra complexity offers a good return.

Just as a demonstration of my point, please imagine for a moment that you are a developer who understands the basics of the modern JS world but is new to React. Go to the React site and find the instructions on how to just install React with npm or yarn, the way you probably would with any other JS library.

OK, so there's nothing readily visible. No, really. How to just install React like every other JS library in the world isn't even described on the introductory pages. Well, maybe you try running

{package manager} {install command} react

That used to do the obvious thing, but now it doesn't because even the essentials are divided among multiple packages with non-obvious names. So at this point, just a couple of minutes after you decided to give React a try, you're already confused about how it works in NPM and thinking basic documentation is missing, and you haven't even installed it or written a line of code yet.

Maybe you find a link somewhere to the page about the "most popular and approachable toolchains". OK, that looks promising. You click the link and... you're confronted with create-react-app, Gatsby, Next.js and a bunch of other dubious, heavyweight tools, not that you know that because you've never heard of them. But there's still no sign of how to just install React and try it out like any other JS library.

So you go to the kitchen, make a coffee, come back and ask your mentor whether it's really necessary for you to use such a complicated and difficult tool, and whether you can just use Vue instead.

This comment is based on a true story. :-(

Yes, it is? Science does not guarantee knowledge in any field, it's only supposed to increase the odds. Are the odds of getting true knowledge in this field increased compared to the alternatives (I.E. people just arbitrarily claiming stuff based on personal anecdotes?) Then it's the best we have in that field and rationally you have no reason to believe the claims of knowledge acquired from worse methods over the better alternatives - just like it works in other fields.

> it's possible for one to donate liver (say, half a liver) and live like nothing happened (except a scar)

There is a risk to manage, but is possible, yes. (Liver regenerates itself, so maybe even without leaving a scar. I'm unsure about that).

> Why only 4000 livers...

Probably a bottleneck and main factor is the money and finding somebody with experience that would want to do it. Is not a trivial procedure and there is also a risk for surgeons to be sued if things go down.

The technique is relatively new, starting at 1989 with Alyssa Riggan, a toddler girl 21 months old from Texas that is still alive and living a normal life currently. The donor was her 29yo mum. The technique has being adopted regularly since 2014 (if I'm not wrong). More than 4000 patients had received such treatment in USA since them. Ms. Riggan has a normal life now and does not even need her anti-rejection medecines anymore. The survival rate in adult patients at 3 years is > 95%, and 100% in children patients.

For the donor, will feel some pain (that can be alleviated with medication) and will feel very tired for the first month. Around half liver of the donor is taken. Most regeneration will happen in the first 2 weeks.

https://www.webmd.com/hepatitis/features/living-donor-liver-...

After Mayo Clinic [1] two months are enough to recuperate the liver in the donor. Other hospitals talk about one month.

How to Gain Root with CVE-2018-4193 in [pdf]
Just imagine a doctor telling you what ICD code you have. There's nothing wrong with classification and labeling things. I think society is getting a little carried away with such topics. Personally, I think it's a phase that collectively we'll pass and reflect on how extreme we took things in order to try and obtain balance.

There's a difference in calling someone "crazy" vs saying they have a mental disorder. The meaning of "crazy" has changed over the years due to the abusive context it's been used in more and more. A lot of words got redefined over the years, so this isn't new, but the idea of dropping labels or trying to eliminate well established scientific and testable classifications is new.

To future generations, I hope you don't create a culture in which you're continuously stressed out about how others will label you publicly. When I was younger, a kid that was bullied in school could escape it by coming home. These days, you have no escape because of social media. I hope you learn to adjust and navigate these new times. Even older folks struggle with how things are currently.
