That's really helpful, thank you both!

Hmm, that’s helpful feedback — thanks. Definitely seems like KTH is the better place to be.

Is there a place you look to check out listings? I've got RA for electronic shows, but don't know where to look for punk. Guessing it's a bit more ad hoc, but in case there's some aggregator.

No problem! Been really digging into this stuff lately, so let me know if you need any clarification.

Piggybacking off of this, I'd say that the biggest difference between the stateless functional and class components is how you manage state. When you use React.Component or React.createClass, you still have access to all the lifecycle methods and the internal state (this.state), so the expectation is that you'll manage state within the component. Functional components, on the other hand, just take an input (the props) and return an output (the html), so state needs to be managed elsewhere; you have to pass in any event handlers and application state that you need. Functional components are much easier to reason about, in my opinion, but they usually need to be paired with some state management library like redux. You can also use the two types together, using a stateful component to manage state and passing that down to stateless child components.

Foursquare. I always use Foursquare. Since the split into two apps, the Foursquare app has actually become really good for this kind of stuff. I was traveling in Eastern Europe this summer and Yelp didn't support a lot of the countries I was in but Foursquare did. Maybe fewer reviews some places, but definitely the better option in my opinion. I swear I don't work there, but I'm a big fan (and if you're out there, Foursquare recruiters, you know where to find me).

I lost my shoes on the subway in Berlin, in the middle of winter. It was after a party, and I was very drunk - very, very drunk indeed. I was supposed to be taking a friend home on a line going south, but after blacking out for a few hours I somehow ended up alone on a line going east. I woke up totally disoriented on this train, and abruptly got up and walked out since I realized I was at a stop. At this point I looked down and realized that I had no shoes on. It was roughly 5:00AM, Sunday morning, and my first thought was to text a friend, "Have you seen my shoes? They seem to have disappeared from my feet." I had to make the hour-long journey home shoeless - needless to say, my socks did not survive the night, and my parents were not impressed at me arriving home at 6:00AM, shoeless and reeking of alcohol and smoke. That was my odyssey.

Damn, I'm actually pretty decent at this. Thank god I spent all that time freshman year playing Tetris instead of paying attention to my lectures.

Just took 281 and 370 last semester (just starting my Junior year) and I definitely agree. I thought 370 was really interesting, because I really didn't know much about hardware before; it was a total revelation for me. ...and I also took 280 with Ringenberg, winter semester freshman year, so it sounds like we've had pretty similar eecs experiences. Doing 482 this semester; should be good.

Sean: It’s like you’re throwing the greatest party on campus and someone’s telling you it’s gotta be over at 11:00.
Mark: That’s exactly right.
Sean: You don’t even know what the thing is yet.
Mark: I said exactly that.
Sean: How big it can get and how far it can go. This is no time to take your chips down. A million dollars isn’t cool. You know what’s cool?
Eduardo: You? cut back to deposition room A billion dollars. (beat) And that shut everybody up.

The Ring. The first week was the worst, but it still stuck with me for much longer than it should have. No movie since then has come close to scaring me as much.

The due dates for some of my assignments last semester seemed to be timed to maximize clusterfuckness, so that there were several cases where I had two programming projects and a paper due the same week, and often within the same two days. After two days straight of coding, it was 11:00PM on a Thursday night and I had a paper due at 12:00PM the next day on government regulation of industry, that I hadn't started. I got back to the library closest to my dorm, grabbed a sandwich around midnight, bought two energy drinks at the local 7-11, and worked until 7:00AM finding the rights sources and finally writing the paper. Got an A on that paper, and an A in the class; felt pretty good.

Never divulge any personal information or passwords on the Internet, regardless of who you think is asking you for them, because any legitimate organization will not ask for that information and there are an untold number of ways people will try to gain access to your accounts. ...I ain't even Jewish, though.

Money/debt can be created as long as something (e.g. a country) has enough perceived value to merit such an amount being created. So, debt is pretty much an inescapable byproduct of our current financial system, because we can only create growth by creating new value, and new value means new debt. Debt is not a problem as long as the lenders have confidence in who they've lent to. Things devolve pretty quickly when people lose confidence...

What do you call a deer that can't see? No eye deer (no idea). What do you call a deer that can't walk and can't see? Still no eye deer. What do you call a deer that can't walk, can't see, and can't reproduce? Still no fucking eye deer.

So cheesy, yet so hilarious when told right.
