Yes, Java is relevant, especially in large companies. A lot of back-end systems are using Java.

For learning, you can start with reading Java Language Specification. And then you can read Java Virtual Machine Specification. After that, you should have very good understanding of big picture. Then it is just about writing code using APIs.

As for back-end, there are a lot of topics (not specific to language). File system, networking, distributed computing and others. In real production systems, it is about how to compute/process within certain time-frame. And how to operate the production systems.

> I worked hard than the Americans for 3 years !. They pretty well knew I was an indentured servant and paid me 79K/annum. All salary raises and promotions were going to a handful of lazy Americans who rolls into the office whenever they wish.

I've never seen hard work produce good results in software. In fact, I've seen it create more issues than it solves. Hard work produces many LOC, but that creates a maintenance burden.

I've gone from ST2 -> WebStorm -> Atom -> VS Code

I prefer code now because its features are nearly on par with WebStorm but it runs far faster than WebStorm or even Atom.

About 6-9 months ago, it was still a bit behind on features but they've just been rolling out improvements at a furious pace. The integrated terminal you can open with ctrl + ` is super useful as are some of the auto checking features. If you use something like TypeScript or Elm, you'll get detailed debugging suggestions on hover any time you save a file with any errors.
Making an analogy does not mean equating the two. I'm specifically making an analogy between the "hey, you chose to do it" arguments that historically supported indenture and are currently supporting the unsavory bits of H1B. These arguments are similar. They share the fallacy of avoiding nuance in the choice (some people aren't fully aware of the choice. Some people may want to change their minds once they've settled in but can't do so easily), and they also share the fallacy of making choice matter in the first place -- people aren't saying that H1B workers don't choose this, people are saying that it's bad to make them choose it in the first place.

If you don't like the indentured servitude example, take minimum wage. If it didn't exist, many people would still be ok with being paid less. We have collectively decided that that is a bad thing. We have collectively decided that underpaying people is bad even if they choose to be okay with it. We don't say "hey, you chose an underpaying job over no job at all, you can't complain about it".

Choice is a red herring in these discussions. Nobody is saying that H1B workers were forced into this. Folks are well aware they made a choice. That does not affect the argument that part of the "con" side of the choice is something that shouldn't exist in our society. You're free to disagree with that argument, but the "folks chose it" is not a rebuttal because that was never the premise.

> The entire point should be about bringing valuable future citizens in to the country, and the program should definitely be a strong path to citizenship.

For what is worth, not everyone who wants to live and work in the long term in the US wishes to become a US citizen. A lot of us would be happy with an easier path to permanent residence (green card), which would solve the problem of being "able to leave for other employment".

Also, from the point of view of US citizens who favor stricter immigration, it can be argued that simply making it easier for people to become US citizens doesn't solve the (real or perceived) problem of depressed salaries or higher unemployment rate due to the increased labour pool.

Stick to Intel WiFi chips, and you'll be OK. They provide an open driver (iwlwifi). Second best is probably Qualcomm Atheros (ath10k), also open driver. Stay away from the rest.

Intel 802.11ac cards work really well on Linux. The only problem with laptops can be nasty blacklisting (Lenovo is notorious for that). I.e. if you buy a WiFi card separately and it's not from the "approved" list, the UEFI firmware will reject it preventing computer from booting, and there is almost nothing you can do about it, except buying a card with correct ID from the "approved" list. Not sure if other manufacturers are as nasty, but I encountered this with Lenovo.

I think you are onto something with running linux on a Chromebook. For years I have struggled with deaf wi-fi on laptops running Ubuntu, I spend half my evenings reconnecting the wifi on a Lenovo laptop, and that is with an external wifi dongle as there is no chance of getting the internal wifi working.

I am writing this on a Chromebook Pixel 2013 variant, the wifi on this machine and every other Chromebook I have used is rock solid. I like the 'design classic' aspect of the Pixel (original flavour) and I didn't want to take it to pieces or leave it broken. Therefore, new Chromebook. My new cheap (£250) Chromebook is the Asus one with the HD screen, zero moving parts and a tough aluminium case. Everything on it works except for the internal speakers (sound is on HDMI) but I don't need sound to read my emails and write stuff in 'vi'.

Rather than go for an esoteric linux I went for the ease of Gallium OS. This is an XFCE Ubuntu with all the hardware sorted except that HDMI sound problem...

Now for ports... I presume next-gen Chromebooks will be USB-C, I just wanted a glorified keyboard/screen with wifi that worked, however, the ports are proper ones on the Chromebook, no fiddly mini HDMI or other leads that restrict the movement of the laptop. Battery life - realistically I can go all day but I get range anxiety if I do that so I carry the brick.

I run DHCP on the cheap Chromebook complete with a reverse proxy so that my dev environment (still on the old laptop) can be worked on via the Chromebook (which runs keyboard/mouse sharing via Synergy) and via the phone/tablet for testing.

I believe that the next generation Chromebooks are going to solve a lot of problems for me, my cheap chromebook doesn't do sound, the screen is non-touch but HD, the keyboard is not backlit (I use an external keyboard now) and I am not sure it has a CPU... I wonder if the android running next-gen Chromebooks will eat into the non-pro, non-developer market that Apple are trying to make their own, if this does happen then the Apple market share will start to diminish.
Exactly. What if there's a bug and when your "copy" is created at destination original is not destroyed? Would you agree to be killed, should your copy agree instead? Even worse, what if there's an anomaly in transporting data, original is destroyed and copy emerges disfigured, dead or something in between? Teleportation scares the shit out of me.

> But thanks for the example, it's fun to see how data modeling is done in other languages.

Franky, this example upset me because this is the typical "LISP has only lists and symbols" example. On the first hand, the format is not deprecated: you could write a simple parser today and extract the data back. But on the other hand, it reinforces those core myths about Lisp having no real datatype, no strings, etc.

That is an... odd statement. The debugger is what enables me to understand what exactly is going on. Noone, not even you, will be able to fully grasp any modern language and framework, and the debugger becomes a necessity.

As a counter claim: In my experience, programmers that don't use debuggers, are those that have difficulties understanding things. They just throw code at it until something sticks.

I have Indian friends in Canada who were hired for an American company but are currently in a Canada office since the company plans to L1 them (which is much easier since getting an H1B as an Indian citizen is hard). I have been (unsuccessfully) trying to convince them stay and avoid the tons of issues that US immigration has. Well, one of them wants to stay in Canada, but I think he wanted to from the start since he was aware of these things too.

I myself was considering Canada for my current job, but chose against it due to a number of reasons specific to my case.

Fortunately they all work for a good company, which probably won't abuse its power over them once they're in the U.S.
I absolutely love my Dell Rugged Extreme 12.. it's insanely expensive but literally bomb-proof (designed to handle the pressures from an exploding bomb.. even if my frail human form won't). It runs Linux almost perfectly -- better than Windows. Windows 10 had issues coming back from suspend (the screen would stay black.. dead), and losing all mouse tracking at random times. Linux only has issues coming back from suspend and they're not even as bad (sometimes you can't get a network connection).

And the hardware is fantastic. No sharp edges for your wrists. I used to be a thinkpad fan, but this thing is insanely great. (However, I do miss the old-style thinkpad keyboards and the modular batteries.. but battery life on this thing is great anyway.)

It's also good to chock the wheels with if you have to change a tire or heaving at someone who insults your laptop. I do like multi-purpose devices.

There may be 1000s of reasons for using linux distro which i genuinely don't know about but one thing which i have noticed is that linux requires lot of time setting things up. There is terminal for you to work as app store and there is app store also ( though this app store doesn't have that many apps). I have used ubuntu,debian,manjaro,budgie remix and things which i have found buggy about all of these distros are it's Wi-Fi support (like it supports my mobile hotspot but I don't know why it's buggy with my college wifi and i still can't access internet over my college hotspot) Maybe I'm noob? and i don't know how to solve many of its issues. But genuinely speaking do i need that much of skill just to run an os? Seriously? i never ever had any problem using windows. Some other issues with Linux distros include its Bluetooth support which also stuck. I mean why do i need to invest so much of time putting apt get install xyz? After finding commands over internet. Even basic file managers and many packages like media plugings etc. you need to update time to time which means for you to use linux distro efficiently you need to be connected with internet. Ever tried using Linux without internet? Use it once you'll feel the boredom using it. The main reason i still use linux is just fan following ( i.e. its Internet based reviews its virus security and all that which you too know about ). And all being said i have lost so many files because whole of my os just crashed several times without me knowing any reason? And one more you know? you can't use windows hard disk drive without shutting down or logging your windows off properly. I mean why do i need to put this much of effort just to use this linux distro? Though on the other side you are skipping windows gold class desktop environment and its user friendliness. You have to put some more effort again to play games. I'm amazed how people love complex things than the easier one.
That's seems like an awesome service, thank you for the work!

> main problem with vpnazure and the like is the need of an agent/client software installed

Yes, and at the same time vpnazure creates a vpn set up (I think it's server/client set up, not bridge), while for my simple usage I only need a single TCP connection through which I'd work with SSH. And from this point, I could spawn a ssh tunnel and forward the needed traffic through it, alleviating the need of vpn. Maybe it is a really basic use case, but for work/home environment I find it to be the thing I actually need, and not the full blown vpn.

Another problem with vpnazure I had is that I'd have no way of seeing where the traffic flows inside the vpn interface. Thinking about it now, probably could be seen in traceroute. But at the time, I thought about looking into tcpdump of vpnserver or setting up a firewall. And that was too complicated for my hobby set up. The point of my concern was that I wanted to see whether any traffic is leaking onto third party servers managed by SoftEther or otherwise. Of course I'd want the traffic to flow across the internet, but I'd expect it to take the path it would take if one of the nodes was a natural server.

Also, all the traffic is managed by vpnserver (softether's one), which makes it a little opaque in terms of where the packets go out of that process.

Of course a client would be inevitable for any hole punching SaaS, but preferebly I'd like if it'd only run during the connection establishment period of time.

That's my 2 cents, coming from a personal set up.
why do people take things out of contexts and bisect and trisect them word by word ? When I said "I worked hard.." did you think I was burning my midnight oil ?. Trying to make software work by trial & error ?

So to clear it out, when I said "worked hard"..it means sincerely & smart, rather than lazing around, because now I see two comments glorifying smart work rather than hard work. You even went on to predict that hardwork creates more LOC. wow just wow. You are one of those "smart" workers aren't you. I admire you.

It would appear in this specific case, you would still need a qualified professional to insert the drug soaked 'sponge' and cover the hole. So if this makes it to market it would just be the latest and greatest new tool for dentists to repair tooth decay.

As far as lobbyists blocking innovation to protect their industries 'status quo.' Yes I imagine it happens quite a bit. For example there is a strong lobby to keep tax forms and processes complicated and unfriendly to normal people so that companies whose bread and butter is helping you fill out your taxes each year can stay in business.
UK Airport installs passenger flow technology
I strongly disagree with the sentiment that the solution is "another closed-source unix/linux-based operating system that throws away X.org and its attempted modern replacements, that can directly compete with OS X"

We don't need more closed, we need more open. What we need is massive rewards for open hardware via customer money. As long as wireless cards and graphics cards are closed by default and drivers are BLOBed up it's a losing battle by default.
I do believe there's an opening to mini-disrupt Apples hardware (specifically laptop) sales by providing the "Apple experience" of bundling up everything in a neat package with strong branding. Focus very hard on the professional niche, ignore everything else. The key is finding hardware vendors that will play ball (and investors that are willing to take the boring low margin hardware risk). Linux has 30-40% of Apple's market share.

I suppose a bigish player like Dell could also work. I had the feeling their Linux line was more of an afterthought but the current release note of an extended Linux line looks pretty great. I'm not sure about their marketing and approach it isn't focused enough (just sell it as the ultimate developer box imo) but that news had me very excited. Good job Dell :)

There are lots of companies in the Midwest that will pay mid six figures for a non-manager SWE. I will concede that there are fewer such jobs in the Midwest.

I'm not convinced that jobs in the Midwest generally pay less than in California because of cost of living. It may well be that SWE openings in the Midwest are generally for less-skilled SWEs precisely because it's not worth paying California salaries for those roles.

This rings true to me because, well, there are companies in the Midwest that will pay mid six figures.
