This is a good point. Rationally, the US government exists solely for the purpose of advancement of the interests of the American people. However, trade wars are NOT in the interest of the American people either; free markets are. We don't even need to theorize about this, there has been an actual drop in illegal immigration from Mexico because of its rising prosperity. So the rational conclusion should be to continue down this path, as it seems like the only solution that seems to really work.

Also, it is not at the cost of American jobs; of course those specific jobs are lost, but unemployment is down, private sector is adding thousands of jobs etc.

I don't know about the US. I know Canada has a history of running targeted ad campaigns in South Africa and elsewhere, to get doctors to immigrate (while simultaneously complaining about locally-trained doctors leaving to get better paid jobs in the US).

> As for who would make Mexico wealthy: that would not be the US government but market forces and corporations, the things that America has historically been such a huge proponent of.

Market forces are merely a means to an end. The U.S. Government should only permit them to operate to the extent that has the effect of making the majority of Americans more prosperous (which it usually does). Do trade policies that have the effect of making Mexico richer have the effect of making the median American richer? I don't know the answer to that. Americans seem to think not.
It would barely impact them. Impoverished people who voyage hundreds of miles through the desert in search of a better life are not going to be deterred by a wall. They'll dig under it, climb over it, or smash right through it if need be.
> Than why so many leaked memos show that Bannon and Miller want to reduce family Visas for those already legally here?

From http://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/2017/3/1/14773298/mer...:

"Reforming the immigration system to be more “merit-based” is predicated on the idea that some of these slots are going to the wrong immigrants — immigrants who don’t have as much to give the US as the US has to give them. Proponents point to Australia and Canada — places that don’t have the American tradition of family-based migration, and that deliberately select for immigrants who are likely to contribute economically and assimilate culturally from the moment they arrive. In these countries, having a family member who’s already a citizen doesn’t guarantee you a spot as an immigrant yourself — having an advanced degree, being fluent in the language, and being able to support yourself (or have a job waiting for you when you arrive) matter as much or more."

Yes, Australia and Canada.

He is talking about H1-B visa abuse, just as the OP says.

"They get into graduate schools, they can’t get engineering degrees, they can’t get into graduate schools because there are all these foreign students, when they come out, they can’t get a job."

NOTE: "Foreign students". You do realise that by addressing this problem, he is helping all American citizens - who are all different ethnicities.

> Yes. Actually here's one article about farmers offering $25/hr picking strawberries:

Sounds like Mexicans weren't willing to do it either. What changed from year to year? Clearly there's something else at play if they couldn't even get Mexicans to do it. The article doesn't mention that the farmer is exclusively hiring legal citizens, Washington State is ranked 15th for Hispanic population, and the farm is near a major metro area, so I don't buy the argument that there aren't enough Mexicans available either. It's clearly something else.

Great, now you've just created an incentive to not hire anyone older than some particular age in a low-skill industry.
I think licenses makes sense for doctors because they are working on people, their solution is generally specific to one person, and a mistake that they make can have dire consequences. Software engineering can also have large consequences but in those cases it's probably significantly more effective to test the actual product than test the engineers.

There is a company called MediTech in Massachusetts that uses a derivative language of MUMPS called Magic. I know several programmers that have worked there. There are thousands of engineers writing in this language as we speak.

From what I can remember:

-Only global variables

-Variables must only be capital letters, maximum length 6. If you run out of variables, you must cleverly use them in a routine and set them back to what they are. This means you can't use a name like myVar - you use AAAFD, ZBVCXZ, etc.

-System functions are usually things like ., >, ', ], so code looks like .'AAAF]{\;:..

-Meditech writes all of their own languages, databases, operating systems, tools, etc. You can only write in a non-Meditech language if you get approval from a multi-tiered architectural design board, which barely ever happens

-The founder hated C with undying passion. No one is ever allowed to use C

-All programming hires go through a 6 to 12 month training process to learn the tools, languages, and systems. As they almost exclusively hire non-CS majors, such as math and physics majors, they don't typically have a programming background and don't realize how bizarre the MediTech stack is

Because MediTech engineers get experience in a proprietary suite of technologies that is only used there, it is extremely difficult for them to get new jobs at the same pay grade and experience level. 5 years at MediTech is worth 0 years anywhere else. However, I have hired a few of these people, and while they knew nothing about say Python, JS, Linux, etc. when hired, their deep understanding of how computers work made them very skilled once they picked up the modern technologies. Not many engineers program for years in low-level nightmare languages before touching JavaScript or Python, most start high-level and go lower. The foundation provided by working in a language like Magic makes them know computers at a deeper level than most.

Even with legal changes, you'd need to restrict a LOT of technology on the US side to keep people from forcibly exiting, and I'd feel morally OK with using force to escape a country.

> My question these days when I read such article, "What has the author done that is equivalent?" There is rarely anything to be found.[...]Facebook might have a "code quality problem." But until you have worked at an organization that is big like Facebook please hold forth your tongues or fingers in this case.

Sorry but, in my opinion, this is dangerous thinking. Saying you shouldn't say anything unless you've done equivalent / better creates the implication that anyone who hasn't worked on a Facebook scale mobile app doesn't know what they're talking about or can't provide something to the conversation that is at least informational or useful.

The way I understand it, in the near future, the folk who write languages/compilers/build toolkits will be writing down to LLVM's Intermediate Representation rather than down to some specific machine code for some specific chipset.

Then the folk whom build the processors/architecture/assembly languages (and open source advocates when businesses ultimately ignore LLVM for a bit) will be writing the conversion from IR down to some specific machine code. This allows Intel to convert the IR line "COMPLICATEDFUNCTION $r2 5" to some advanced x86 call that has some significant speed or memory increase and is only one line while TI can still call the 26 lines of MIPS they need to call and both will be semantically equivalent.

That way you can, from the the software side, be relatively agnostic with how you're writing code and the chipset side is able to get every ounce of optimization using advanced functionality (if available). More importantly, software side is then able to ignore any processor features (be they speed ups or slowdowns) because every chipset manufacturer should have some toolset to convert your IR down to the best machine code they've got based on some desires (speed, space, power, etc). Inevitably, there will still be differences in performance between chipsets but being able to build down to IR (even with performance issues for some chipsets while everyone gets on board) and not some large set of assembly languages should be very nice.
Yeah I agree splitting functionality into separate headers is a good idea. But I feel like the rule "don't include headers in headers" is good advice in lots of situations.

Redis is often thrown around as an example of an excellent, clean C source code base. Look at server.h. It has 34 include statements. Would you rather that every C file that includes server.h have to include these 34 files before including server.h? Seems insane to me.

Well, Mayer faced tremendous reputation risk if she failed. Now that she has failed, she is not held in remotely the same high regard that she was prior to taking the helm of Yahoo.

She's also been implicated in some of Yahoo's more embarrassing missteps during her tenure.

So it's important to weight the parachute against her annual salary in a "safe" job for 3-5 years. It may still seem overvalued (or undervalued) but the price was reached through negotiation.

It doesn't seem to be any worse than the OPM hack, as it's on a much smaller scale. It's still bad for the 4,000 military employees, though, but their SF86 forms were probably already leaked in the OPM hack to begin with. I'm still surprised the OPM hack didn't receive much more attention. I wonder if it had anything to do with the previous administration's unhealthily tight relationship with the media.

More like tax credits. For example you can buy an EV and knock some money off your taxes. For example supposed a company makes 5 billion they have a 30% tax rate. They would owe 1.5 billion. Supposed they bought a company for 6 billion. They realized next year hey the company is really only worth $1 billion. They write off the 5 billion which offsets the 5 billion profits so instead of the paying 1.5 billion in taxes they pay 0. So government basically ended up paying 25% of the purchase price.

This analogy isn't apt. We're talking iOS app development versus Facebook's iOS app development. This is a very easy to compare thing. Yes, with Facebook's scale they likely run into some interesting issues than many will never but that doesn't make it into something vastly different. It's still an iOS app that may have more optimizations than other apps.

I'm not sure why strawberry pickers are always the example. Is there really a shortage? When I was a teenager, in the country, that was a common minimum wage job mostly done by 14 year olds. It really does suck, almost any job would be better, but I didn't think better jobs were more available now than the late 90s. If anything I would have expected more people to be in the job pool for picking now.

Computer science is hard and I don't know any good place online to learn it for free. Picking up a Rails tutorial, on the other hand, is free and very very easy.

I would say that real, fundamental computer science is one of those things that universities are better suited to teaching. Other comments seem to agree with that.

The point I was trying to make is that college forces you to learn a lot of things that you may choose not to study if you're learning on your own. And those things you're forced to learn end up being more worthwhile than the skills you wanted to learn, whether you realize it or not.
Impression ads are important for certain industries and bigger publications. I will agree that PPC ads are common in other areas and ad blocker users wouldn't click them.

Default settings use remote, shared DNS caches run by an advertising company.

Regardless, this is a step in the right direction. DNS is highly effective for this filtering out advertising.

Personally I just run my own authoritative nameserver(s) with all the IP addresses I need. No recursive cache.

When I browse to websites where I have never been and may not return, I am never using graphical browser that loads "resources" automatically from any random domain.

I am using a browser I compiled myself. I am only reading text.

Binary resources, e.g., video, can be downloaded non-interactively with an ftp/http client.

If it is an important website that I use repeatedly, then I have all the IP addresses for the resources the website's pages will need stored in a zone files. Then it is "safe" to use a browser written by an organization company that makes money from ads. All DNS requests are answered by my server(s).

I can retrieve (refresh) the IP addresses for my zone files very quickly with custom software I wrote to do this. My lookups are faster than a cold recursive cache and send out fewer requests.

IMO, the way to think about "ad-blocking" is not to try to imagine how to block every possible ad server. Instead, just focus on what web content you want and figure out what addresses you need to get it.

At one point a certain browser written by an advertising company had its own DNS resolver. Imagine your /etc/resolv.conf being completely ignored. Food for thought.

Are you asking a rhetorical question? There are a variety of different organizations which certify Scrum Masters and they each have their own certification standards. But there are also many people working as Scrum Masters today who have no certification.

No one ever claimed that Scrum is the solution but it does bring together a number of practices that have been found to usually work well for team software development. Some additional structure is usually needed for larger programs which go beyond what a single agile team can deliver.

Scrum by itself has no real impact on release cycle times or quality. Find another whipping boy.
