I agree that it’s dozen of countries but they all operate under the same “power umbrella”. Arresting Huawei CFO by Canada. Banning ASML exports to Huawei by Netherlands. All by the requests of the USA which again is 100% controlled by Israel. I am simply stating the truth here despite the profanity of the language which I think you raised a fair point.

To me, a life that is in content and has meaning trumps all those whatever higher trajectory means. I mean.. isn’t achieving those higher trajectories the goal of being content and having achieve the meaning if it exits at all?

This. A lot of people get thrown into the top layer of the abstraction itself and then move down from there.

What instead should happens first is that these people should be shown the problems React or other frameworks for that matter are trying to solve. It is way more motivating to gradually move up the abstraction layer when learning.

Get the know the problem first and then find the solution to that problem. Not the other way around.

SwiftUI. I think Apple will put a lot of effort into it to be on the same level with UIKit. SwiftUI makes developing UI easier because it is declarative just like React Native and it takes less time to build your typical CRUD app on the apple platform.

My strategy right now is not to learn the next chord until I master the ones(A, E and D) which I am currently learning. Master here means to be able to play those thress chords each and move between them effortlessly. Seems like this will take some times.

Norweigan oil fund 7 years ago

So much transparency is that, in Norway, you can look up the yearly income of anyone online on the government's website :)

I don't agree that "software is no place for introverts". There are definitely many software engineers out there who are introverts. You just have to find an environment and team mates that are welcoming and accept you as who you are.

Anti-refugee mood is on the surge in Norway. The government just appointed the previous agriculture minister from the far-right party as immigration minister and she recently proposes a slew of tough immigration rules, promised to be the strictest in Europe, for the newcomers.[1]

There are many Norwegians who hate these two guys in Norway :) Take a look at the comment section.[2]

"For digital inclusion and a more inclusive future" as the author states in the article, I am also leading this[1] project for kids in Myanmar/Burma who literally stuck in the civil war between Myanmar Army and local rebel forces.[2] We are just a bunch of volunteers(refugees) from Myanmar who have been relocated to Norway because of the civil war. With Raspberry Pi, we want people to have access to basic education and literacy even in a freaking civil war zone. Never give up!

Do not forget that China has already completed two massive pipelines(one gas and one oil) from western port of Myanmar to Kunming, Yunnan, China to bypass the Strait of Malacca and they are already fully operating.[1]

And for your conspiracy thirst, there has been massive shoutout internationally for people known as Rohingyas from Myanmar who face persecution, discrimination and pre-genocidal acts being committed by Myanmar government lately. And you know where Rohingyas people actually live in Myanmar? It is at the very start of the two Chinese pipelines and the province is called Rakhine State in Myanmar.[2] So the US is pressuring Myanmar very very hard on this case. [3]

Two things can happen from this. 1) If Myanmar resists US pressure and doing the same things just as they are treating these people now, US can just say, "hey buds, we've told you. Human rights to these people or they will human rights you". So any violence that might arise from this can be justified. Actually Myanmar government has been exceptionally stupid in handling Rohingya case. This mess has now become an international case. Thats their fault.

2) Myanmar succumbs to US pressure and grant some human rights to Rohingya(eg. giving them ethnic status, grant citizenship and that shit). Rohingya may rises and clashes with ethnic Rakhine group there to take the revenge. The region will be destabilised and this will give Chinese a huge headache for their hardcore investments.

I think China needs to stop these activities if she wants to be respected internationally. In January this year, two Chinese professors in Norway got kicked out from a Norwegian university because Norway was also concerned with spying activities from China. [1] I think China economy has come to a point that it needs innovation to move forward. Obviously, stealing intellectual properties from other countries is not the best way to go here.
