Toolsets change but the core principles are pretty stable. I've been around for all the paradigm shifts. When browsers first had DOM APIs and CSS. That was when FE dev first became a dedicated job. Since then we've just been layering more and more abstraction on the same stuff.

Oh I do, I do... and I agree that many of the things CSS does for you today are vastly better than the ad-hoc solutions we had in the past (if you ever have to create an HTML email - and thankfully I am able to outsource all of that sort of work to someone who actually takes a perverse pleasure in it - that's always a nice reminder of how silly HTML and CSS were in the late '90s before CSS was actually broadly usable).

But still... some of the syntax we have now, not to mention the sheer breadth of verbiage, is insane. CSS feels like it's been groaning under the weight of all of this guff for quite some time now, and adding new obscure units and funny things in square brackets isn't really going to improve matters.

That is not my assumption at all. It is about casting a wider net. In an ideal world, the talent a company needs is available instantly and locally. But the world isn't ideal. Sometimes the talent is available instantly but not locally.

Startups can't afford to train and develop developers as much as big companies can. It is in the interest of the startups to hire quickly and to hire as close to the profile they want to hire. Not being able to do that might stall progress at the desired pace.

I think it would be better restated as 'when you've been doing it for a while you can make your mind blank all the time.'[0]

But it turns out that even though this can be really peaceful, it is not as useful as keeping your mind just at the threshold of the blankness, with just enough thoughts and sensations left.[1]

Why? Because you can use this state to investigate the workings of the mind, and to start to see how sensations cause thoughts, which can cause further thoughts and on and on etc. [2]

Meditation in many Buddhist traditions is to be used as a tool of investigation. It makes the mind just calm enough to enable you to study it. It is a form of introspective psychology.

An analogy from fluid dynamics: It can be almost impossible to predict the behaviour of a turbulent fluid, in fact this is one of the few remaining unsolved problems of classical mechanics. But we do have laws for laminar flows.

In the same way, calming the mind just enough, can be a great way to learn more about its workings. And having experiential insight into how your mind works, not book knowledge, literally can change your life. I know it has changed mine.

And yet that delay is antithetical to starting to work in a new area, innovating rapidly, etc. The ability to attract and retain employees from anywhere around the world is a massive advantage, and this sounds like a disincentive program.

I agree with you that training is part of the solution, but for niche applications that can be pretty hard, you're talking people who have studied for years. So if you are doing work like that, why wouldn't you set up in a country without such restrictions? E.g. Vancouver.

How about caps on the percentage of H1Bs/L1s in any company (e.g. 15%), and the ability for H1B workers to transfer employers?

Exactly. And at the risk of sounding entitled, privileged or whatever, I like it this way. I would like this to stay. The changes happening in US (and similar ones starting to happen in Europe) threaten this.

And sure, it's not fair to everyone all the time. But it's like some people these days think that if they can just blow everything up, things will be better for them, that it'll improve their relative well-being. It won't. Destabilizing things isn't beneficial for anyone.

That's not really where the consequences stop flowing though. Yes, the President has a right to fire an AG that refuses to implement a President's policy. At the same time, the public may draw certain inferences from that decision. If a big oil company fired its top lawyer for refusing to do something she though violated environmental laws, very reasonable inferences could be made about the leadership.

The US Attorney thing under Clinton is totally different. Nobody made a peep when Trump dismissed the previous AG. It is understood that these political appointees will be replaced as a matter of course. This criticism is in response to him dismissing Yates after asking her to stay on board as acting AG, in response to her exercising her legal judgment.

>President Trump’s Executive Order calls for federal agencies in the U.S. to ensure that their privacy notices make clear that Privacy Act protections extend only to citizens and permanent residents of the U.S. Importantly, Article 14 of the Order explicitly states that the federal agencies must do so in a manner that is “consistent with applicable law.” In the context of EU-U.S. data transfers for law enforcement purposes, the Judicial Redress Act constitutes applicable law, and thus President Trump’s Executive Order, as written, should not impact the Judicial Redress Act’s extension of the Privacy Act’s protections to citizens of the EU. As a result, absent further action from the U.S. government, we do not expect this Executive Order to impact the legal viability of the Privacy Shield Framework.

Sure is funny seeing China of all countries lecture others on free trade, when they themselves are heavily protectionist [1,2,3], and they allow almost no immigration [4,5] - their population is almost mono-ethnic, with the minorities mostly other indigenous asians [6].

This increase in salary is not for the H1-B workers benefit; rather, it's to make hiring them more expensive so American workers will be considered first--as they should be.

I would support any law that REQUIRED American companies to hire Americans first and then consider foreigners ONLY if no qualified Americans can be found in the 50 US states.

If America wants to do good by her workers, she needs to put Americans first. Always and foremost. Let India, Vietnam, and China take care of their own people first.

H1-B visas have always been bad for American workers. And they always will be. I would raise the minimum to $250k, were it me. Very few companies will pony up the currency to play that game. If companies were to hire Americans again FIRST, as they should have been doing, perhaps American primary and secondary schools as well as universities would have stronger STEM programs. No one is going to suggest STEM to their children if they have to compete with foreigners.

On H1-B and desire to immigrate here...
I'm not opposed to immigration if it's done the old fashioned way like my dad did it. Come here, apply, wait your tenure for green card, and eventual citizenship. Don't come here for an American passport, come here because you want to be an American.
I read Sailor Nothing about 7 years ago and it's stayed with me better than most of the books I've read (and paid for) since then. And maybe that author never wrote anything since (I honestly wouldn't know), maybe they went into paid creation... but the only reason that matters is the discovery problem. If we're assuming excellent automatic recommendation services then it doesn't matter if every creator is a "one-hit wonder".
I am enjoying VueJS also and it is the 1st framework I've developed in since starting dev. I measure my skills on how comfortable I am doing whatever it is I am doing. I have to say that I've enjoyed Vue thus far, but I don't have any other framework to compare it to. I also have to say that the Front-End Developer Handbook 2017 looks pretty sweet for anyone in front-end dev right now. But again, I'm only an adolescent at this, what do I know?!?! :)

Things like humidity, water chemistry, and others affect coffee. We don't understand this process in a scientific manner yet, and the art of calibrating rely on our tastebuds to fine tune every method from an espresso machine to a simple turkish coffee. It is still a long way from doable with a machine if you want that perfect cup.

That is not even touching the different parameters such as preinfusion, variable pressure, grind, and changes in temperature during the brewing. To my knowledge we do not know how to process coffee in a way such that a machine can model and understand the human taste buds. And it certainly haven't been applied successfully to coffee brewing yet.

> Where in the campaign was there indication that he'd want to start a war?

Just as my 2 cents, Mr. Trump definitely stated several times that he wants to re-thinkthe whole NATO, UN and the international security system in general.

I can easily imagine him making the same bold and unprofessional moves as everywhere else. And if that happens, it will definitely open up some new possibilities for international conflict.
As with any JS framework, much of what you want to achieve with it, has a lot to do with the number of developers building packages to make things easier. There is a lot going for React because a lot of effort is going into the world of React outside of FB.
Yeah 130k being barely a living wage is an absurd thing to say. Tons and tons of people in NYC do not make 130k — even half of it would be a great salary for most — and they seem to still be living just fine.
Htop is great!

One thing not mentioned in the article is you can interact with htop using the mouse, for example clicking on column headers to sort by that column, or selecting a process.

You can get get this mouse support for example by installing the gpm package, which enables the mouse support for the terminal.
If that was the case, mouthing off and getting her picture pasted everywhere was an irresponsible act vs an orderly resignation.
The two objections I have seen most often in commentary are that Trump's order fell afoul of the 1965 Hart-Celler Act (https://www.nytimes.com/2017/01/27/opinion/trumps-immigratio...), or Trump's EO fell afoul of 8 U.S. Code § 1152 (https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/8/1152).

I have seen a lot of commentary arguing one way or another regarding this issue. My personal conclusion at this time is "firmly grounded" would be too strong of a statement, in my opinion.

Also since Firebase doesn't allow more than one filtering field with orderByChild(...) I'm guessing Querybase will do all the work on the client. This is less than ideal since the data has to be downloaded first.

I'm interested you call SEAT and Skoda cheaper, I'd label them mid-market.
WSL is not nearly the same as actually using Linux. If it actually interacted with the rest of the system instead of just in it's little box it might provide some value. The way it stands you really have to search for everything. There are lot of tools for devs that just work on Linux/Unix that just don't work on Windows. I find Windows a pain (and am a C# developer professionally). I also like to game so of course Windows stays on my desktop at home, but my next laptop (MBP currently) will have Windows replaced with Linux for sure.
I certainly am. I'm a coffee nerd to the core. You're completely correct that most people just want a good cup, and they can already get that from McD - it is seriously a good cup. It's not great, but it's fast and the price is reasonable, albeit somewhat expensive for that it is (though, it is cheaper than starbucks and the like).
> Furthermore, people inherently attribute value to the information within or else you would not see price differences in content with the same physical feel.

We largely don't see such differences though. We would assume Harry Potter is what, 3x as good as competing knock-offs? But it's always been priced comparably to other books in the same form factor, certainly not 3x as much.
I wouldn't discount this as saying the right answer because you know it is what you should say. Trumps appointees and integrity don't exactly go together.
CSS would have been so simple if it had just adopted a plain LISP syntax.

I agree. Thinking about it, I made a conscious choice to stay at my current job in the east coast for this reason. (Nett money I could save was higher even with a lower pay than bay area).
But, the impact of such variation only contributed to some decisions like mine, but not viability of jobs. I wonder what impact having access to viable H1B labor force would do for CA and expensive cities vs rest of the US.

"but for niche applications that can be pretty hard, you're talking people who have studied for years."

How many people that have studied for years to become experts at niche applications are being paid only $60,000 a year - the current minimum for H1B Visas? I would think that getting such an expert is well worth $130,000 a year.
RFC6637: Elliptic Curve Cryptography in OpenPGP (2012)
This is a proposed bill by California democrat Zoe Lofgren.

Thankfully it has zero chance of passing.
One problem with a very high minimum salary is that due to the disparity in cost of living, only companies that could afford H1B workers would be from a few cities like SF and NYC. As a side effect, it would increase the diversity of those cities and not anywhere else. I don't think it is ideal - it concentrates immigrants into a small location; and does not allow immigrants to live in a place of their choice.
There is no shortage of biologists. Pay and conditions in the life sciences is abysmal. The sausage factory relies on graduates for cheap labour.

So if foreign students knew the couldn't even get a poorly paid job after graduating, would they go elsewhere? Would this cause a collapse of the university pyramid scheme? Would labs have to start paying real living wages for staff?

Lots less science would get done in the short term. US universities would no longer get the best and the brightest from around the world. The size of departments would plummet. But in a few years the number of graduates wouldn't totally dwarf the number of jobs available. That might not be a bad thing.
Is there a difference between dpi support for third party apps versus Microsoft apps? I wonder if apple simply has more control over the graphics stack than Microsoft does, or maybe has more leverage over its developers to add high dpi support.

Also note that every browser that supports grid also supports @supports: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/@supports

In the US, there is no obligation on the part of the dealer/service-station to provide a replacement car while warranty repairs are being performed.

Many of the luxury brands, and some of the larger dealers, provide this as a value-added service. When my Lexus goes in for service (even just an oil change), they provide a new Lexus for the day. For my VW, the dealer provides a car from a rental service. When I owned a Jeep, I was SOL during service, having to schedule my own transport.
In fairness it's handled quite well by Windows I feel, a lot of third party apps let it down.

It's a bigger challenge on Windows than OSX. On OSX devs only have to target a small number of High DPI resolutions.
