Of course the patient ultimately decides, but you are really really downplaying the risks of stem cell transplantation: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7202970/ Based on their 2010 alloHCT

Stem cell transplantation is probably not the most effective way to end HIV due to its severe risks and cost: it's much more likely preventative measures like PrEP/PEP and treatments like HAART are much more viable long-term solut

Stem cell transplantation is usually performed by bone marrow transplant, which is a pretty risky procedure: it involves destroying the recipient's own bone marrow to introduce the donor bone marrow, which can leave the recipient witho

As the average consumer, I would much rather see how much money I need to take out of my pocket on the sticker price rather than deeply considering what the tax burden of my jug of milk is.

I'm sure a lot of the technologies on the list (like Yjs!) are well-designed and reliable, but I would not touch GUN with a ten foot pole. The code is absolutely inscrutable (what does any of this do? https://github.com&#x

Dennis is allowed to stop working on something he's not being paid for. If anyone doesn't think this is the case, they should take a long hard look at their supply chain security posture.

Of course. I don't doubt the scale of the disaster but it's very easy in the face of uncertainty for anyone to jump to conclusions without doing their due diligence, either due to some agenda or just inadvertently.

JD Vance has a similar motivation for making the current administration take the flak for it, so I would also take him with a grain of salt.

I don't think you need prototypes to understand this, though it is maybe a consequence of them. If you remember that functions are just always free functions and calling them without a context means `this` has no context (unless they a

I think the nonlocal part is the scary part: it becomes very scary to figure out which parts of the code can fail and how, especially when failures can come from an arbitrarily deep call stack. Maybe checked exceptions could be more useful

Are there actually more transgender people, or are people more willing to self-identify as transgender? Compared to 20 years ago, being openly transgender was far more taboo, so it follows that people were less willing to identify as transg

I don't understand how this could be the case? If you need global state that carries over from another test and enforce it by order dependency, then the state is being shared. Otherwise, you can run the tests in any order.

It might be a little unprofessional, but you (generic you, not you specifically) might have too much ego if you take it seriously: after all, everyone’s code sucks!
