What you say is true now ( I don't have first-hand experience), but 20 years ago Denver/Boulder/Ft. Collins was already a hot-bed for microbrews. Before the US as a whole got on board the microbrew-train, the situation was different. There is a reason the Great American Beer Festival (GABF) is in Denver, and the home brewers association is based in Boulder.
I mean, do you really need me to explain why people see Meyer's move as hypocritical?
Google keeps track of your current on-hand ingredients and then constrains recipes by that inventory? Can you direct me to this functionality? I'd love to use it.
I'm just coming up to the end of my L-1A visa.

I can attest that the "leave the country immediately if you lose your job" situation is a very odd thing to have hanging over you every single day.

Why?
Interesting, didn't know that.

Yeah, I'm not really invested in some of these less-than-popular sentiments, but it pains me to see against-the-grain comments consistently downvoted in some threads.
I have the same experience with Firefox on OSX. I noticed that it isn't an issue with the dev version of Firefox with multiprocess turned on.
My first overseas solo trip was to Thailand, and I had so much awesome street food, guess they are trying to change the perception of Bangkok. I wonder what will happen to khaosan? If they killed the street they would be losing a lot tourism money since it's pretty much regarded as the most popular backpacker street in asia/the world.
> H1B go to indians

H-1Bs don't "go" to Indians; it does not have any preference for nationality (unlike skilled immigration green cards, which have per-country quotas, which biases towards smaller countries favorably)
Then why phrase your argument in a way that discourages them from informing themselves (by encouraging them to perceive it as childish)? Unless your audience is explicitly to ignore those who don't already know and understand your argument.

That might help, but providing some example searches and recipes before requiring an account would also be helpful. Personally, I'm only comfortable signing up for something if I feel I can reasonably judge its quality first, even if it's free.
How do you ever ascend or descend without accelerating up or down?
Does anyone know if they send in one big batch or smaller batches.
Also has anyone received rejections yet or rejections get sent out last/later.
The success of the JavaScript stack was not dependent on source being shipped to the browser, and the push for WebAssembly​ is not motivated by keeping source away from the browser.
Indian universities are terrible...

That's a very broad statement. They are so terrible they manage to produce engineers and scientists who then come here and other parts of the world for higher degrees.
If you're on gradle you're already pretty cutting edge compared to most enterprise java setups. Probably most projects are still using maven.

Also there's definitely been some cross pollination of ideas from at least the Ruby world to the Java (Rails inspiring Grails and probably Play too), so it's getting better. Add java8 lambdas, and it's quite nice.
If you maintain exactly 1 gee, then the moment your lift vector deviates from vertical you'll begin to accelerate downward, since the vertical component of your lift vector will no longer cancel out all gravitational acceleration. At the end of the maneuver you're going straight and level again, which means the vertical velocity you built up needs to be eliminated. The only way to do this is by accelerating at more than one gee for some period of time.

You can stay arbitrarily close to 1 gee, given unlimited time and altitude, but you can't stay exactly at one gee throughout a barrel roll.
Makes sense. Three of my cousins are working in the US on H-1B visas. None of them have a technical degree. They do manual software testing. They can do those jobs in India or someone in Alabama can do them. There's no reason to import unskilled labor.
They don't even explain why Chrome is mandatory!

Yea blowing 20 grand (or more) on a round the world trip is terrible financial advice. If I would of bought that house in Palo Alto instead of traveling I'd have much higher net worth. But all the financial things eventually worked out (house, college, savings).

So blowing your savings in your 20s or 30s on a cool trip is not financially traumatic. It's just not financially wise. But wtf ... its the greatest time in the history of the universe to be a nerd. If you are reading HN, you have been gifted the amazing ability to abstract. Which means you can earn a decent living. So why not travel while you can? All that responsibility shit will still be there waiting for you!

Vue is pretty nice. Simple, high performance, and opinionated just enough to enforce some consistency in use.
Network filesystems! That's the last big feature I've been needing for regular use of WSL for light tasks. There's still enough weird behavior I wouldn't look at WSL as a complete Linux replacement, but it sure is a lot nicer than Cygwin/msys2.

They don't say anything about FUSE, I wonder if this work is at all related?
Hmm... something funky going down in Quemado? Experiments at the lightning farm? If you haven't done the self-guided tour of the VLA, you've just not lived yet! Though it was pretty cool seeing the all out there (highly recommend taking along some lawn chairs and camping out a bit north of Quemado for some very dark sky viewing)
I spoke to a friend who hasn't received either. We got ours
The applications aren't made by people, but by companies willing to employ a foreign worker. To apply for an H-1B visa, you must have a company ready to employ you and to sponsor you.

Indian outsourcing companies flood the applications with Indian nationals, because there is an enormous demand in India (AFAIK). On the other side, Europeans usually don't apply to outsourcing companies, but to tech companies themselves - for whom it is expensive and uncertain (will they get a visa? in how much time?) to make an offer to an European worker. So visas don't exactly go to Indians because they're Indian, they go to Indians because they benefit from (but also, are victim of) the outsourcing companies system - whereas an European worker has to convince an employer to go through the uncertain visa process to hire him/her.

Most tech folks I know over here pretty much gave up on getting hired in the US until things quiet down, or change in their favour - especially since the express lane system was shut down.
Since you didn't bother to read the article, let me summarize it for you:

118 of the drugs during this period were considered to have scientific novelty (46%), and of those:
44% were from pharmaceutical companies.
25% were from biotech companies, and
31% were from universities (transferred to either biotech or pharma)

Of the 118 scientifically novel drugs (new MOA, etc), 69% were NOT from academia. That is, academia has zero to do with the discovery all the way up to the approval of the drug.
You can indeed, in theory, start a descent while maintaining exactly 1 gee. But you can't stop that descent without exceeding 1 gee. The best you can do is to maintain your current vertical velocity.

In the U.S., even with the ACA, it's still easier to have health insurance through your job. When I was single and solely responsible for having health insurance, I couldn't as easily jump back and forth between contract jobs and permanent jobs. I couldn't take advantage of high pay with no benefits like I can now.

My wife having good family health insurance has allowed me to be more aggressive about opportunities.

I know other people who own a business and their wife works at low paying government jobs with good benefits.
In addition to short and long term memory, there is the thought-emotion-action-observation feedback cycle. That you performed purposeful high level actions while being unable to form episodic memories demonstrates that the feedback cycle was still operative and you were experiencing some level of consciousness, though it obviously was not the same level you're used to while being sober and fully awake. The approach of treating consciousness as not binary, but operating within a range, is not new; see the Glasgow Coma Scale[1] and the Erowid experience vaults[2] (though the latter is obviously highly unscientific) for further documentation.

You know of a path that keeps the acceleration 1G and pointing downwards at all times? Or you mean 1G in total acceleration that can point in any direction? I'd be curious to see a reasonable path for the second and don't see how the first can be possible (and 1G usually means more than just an acceleration vector of length 1 otherwise we wouldn't talk about negative G).
I'm saying developers exist who seem to think that's correct and gaming as a whole suffers for it.
Yea or neh ?
It handles binary, but not well. http://forum.serverless.com/t/returning-binary-data-jpg-from...

> Ideally long-running requests like that should be rearchitected to return fast and deliver the results asynchronously, right?

Ideally for whom? I can't think of an engineer who wouldn't rather do a simple request/response. It's certainly cheaper than spending the money to keep a connection open longer than 30 seconds, but far from ideal.
any news ?
I haven't examined how it works, but in the same vein:

My thinking is they send the rejections all at once...last 2 times I applied it was around 6:30-7 pst.
every person (us born, immigrant, or even outside the US), organization (foreign, domestic, corporation, non-profit, et al) is entitled to say "I am America".

we might be the only country like that.
Because they got for free all of the decades of scientific research.

Yes, the scientific research that cost maybe 1% of the total cost of bringing the drug to market. Makes sense that the company should share some of the wealth.
My only point is that there shouldn't be an authority difference in a spousal relationship.

I'm intrigued between the contrast of a sanctuary city, like Los Angeles, and various tech companies in LA hiring H1B employees.

My roommate's on an H1B but he can't just quit his tech job and work on a startup, despite having a few hundred thousand dollars in the bank and being a very successful developer.

Yet there are organizations like Define American, whose founder is an undocumented worker, encouraging people to give sanctuary to people who live here illegally. In 2015, LA allowed undocumented workers to get driver's licenses and 800,000 were issued. There's something like 2-2.5 million people living here illegally.

I have compassion for those who arrived here illegally and have families and lives. And I hope we can find some solution to fixing that problem. But it seems incredibly unfair that we make it hard for smart people to come and work in the US. If you can qualify initially for an H1B visa, I feel like you should be granted a green card with a path to citizenship. I

My uninformed guess is that the pilots had no idea of the details of what was going on. They were probably in the cockpit with the door closed preparing for their part of the flight. No doubt they were kept informed of the situation, but it was probably vague generalities like, "We need to bump four passengers so we can deadhead crew, we should have you ready to go in 15 minutes." And next thing the poor pilots know, they have a starring role in a lawsuit.
when's your interview? Did you already schedule it?
Honest answer? Because it's fucking annoying.

You can't just decide to put reprehensible words in someones mouth and accuse them of bad behavior based on what you (wrongly) assume is in their head. I think you would protest if someone did that to you, no?

Also, nobody called you crazy or stupid. Telling someone that they are wrong is not telling them that they are crazy or stupid.
Congrats! did you have a pre-interview before today?
we have an interview It was sent 8:24pm ET
>For within their ranks may lurk the next Elon Musk or Sergey Brin

It's poor rhetoric. In fact people do that all the time, "we might be letting in the next terrorist" and are derided for it.
I'd need to go digging through old talking points, but this always seemed obvious to me as a provision added for the sheer political calculus/motivation that it sounds good to people. It's just an easy sell—we're going to cap the percentage of profits focuses the attention away from the real cost side effects, and the ability to increase profits by not reducing costs exactly as you described.
I think that is reasonable.

"Folks our company didn't do well this year, we can only sustain X at out burn rate. We are willing to extend Y offer until Z date for those of who are willing to volunteer for a lay off"

Much better than firing by force.

A lot of modern desktop apps these days tend to run in electron or similar and require the overhead of large libraries/components (chromium for electron).
A lot the bloat seems to come unnecessary duplication of resources, but since storage space and bandwidth is no longer as much of a premium I don't think it's much of an issue anymore.
Ubuntu on chromebook user reporting. I cant complain much on the latest chrome even with my 2 gigs of ram and much less powerful processor.
>BTW the worst single sentence summaries are the Hollywood summaries: this is Airbnb for Ubuntu distributions. That sort of summary says that you haven't really thought it out. It's a trope and their eyes just glaze over immediately.

Wrong. The words "airbnb for cooking - or more specifically restaurants. shared meals at people's homes" are worth $12 million if uttered by the right person. (Which isn't me.)
Why should there be a requirement to raise venture capital? Some founders fund their own companies and are profitable from the start.
Agreed. Last time US president met the tech CEOs, Nadella lobbied directly to the President about H-1B visas. Let alone all those lobbyists hired by Microsoft in DC. Microsoft alone spent more than $8 Million in lobbying in 2016.
This is much like the Glimmer announcement. They're simply optimizing and refactoring the rendering engine, with the API not changing, unlike with Angular.
I fear that this comment embodies more than a little bit of truth.

May I just ask, on what grounds was this flagged?
A custom license may forbid nagware removal. It would make forks impractical while granting SublimeHQ benefit from contributions.
If you don't understand how it works and how it can be combined with tools like Redux to create a highly debuggable and predictable app, it certainly looks like a bunch of newfangled framework stuff for the sake of nothing.
Not at all. Fiber is a method of divvying up the work the reconciler is doing so the main thread can process higher priority updates ahead of ones that matter less. There are other benefits, but this is the central one.
In some cultures it's considered a compliment to actually burp after your meal.
I like that. I was originally with venantius where it should be something new. That was by looking at the title alone, though. Yours would be much better.
How about, don't hit anyone, ever?

The only reason corporal punishment was used is because it causes an immediate response but that is one driven by fear. It is control by violence which is by definition a form of domestic violence. As a society we only accept it now in situations by law enforcement. But even then that is limited acceptance (for example in the United airlines incident). As a simple example, you don't teach someone to not hit someone by hitting them. Maybe that model was effective as animals but as humans we have much more powerful behavior modification techniques.

For example, the only thing that really works to modify behavior and generate long term compliance is positive reinforcement. The science is clear. Kids live in the moment. Reward the behavior you want and ignore the behavior you don't. This works surprisingly well with adults as well.
We have not received ours yet!
This experience is not unique to the web, from what I've seen. Apps that aren't well made can easily drop frames on a 3 year old iPhone.
Agreed. The current system has been abused by Indian out-sourcing companies such as TCS, Infosys. The vast majority of highly skilled workers cannot get H-1B visas at all.
How does it accomplish tracing GC without a runtime?
Great read, on a smaller scale, I have found nvidia-docker with nvidia-docker-compose to be a great solution for deploying docker containers on AWS P2 machines with 8 GPUs.
Even Melania Trump came on H1B to the US.

But H1B abuse needs to stop. It would even help you if there was a proper alternative​.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but Fiber sounds like a micro tasker for React? Ember had been doing this for years through Backburner run loop
The maturity of the code base has been reset.
Without looking at the article, I will suggest one possibility is that people are reacting to the inflammatory, click bait title.

I have had perfectly good articles flagged to death due to poor titling. In one case, I deleted it, asked for a title suggestion from the mods and resubmitted it with their permission and things went significantly differently the second time around. The HN crowd is pretty sensitive to bad titles.
This app was written by a manager, don't read into it too much ;)
That's a good suggestion. Same here. Signs it works are one of first things I look for on a product/service site.
I don't think good vision is going to be much of a factor when it comes to not crashing into an island. You can spot islands at close range about as well with 20/40 vision as you can with 20/10 vision. Neither one is going to help you spot unlit terrain at night (as happened here).
Now how long until this shows up on Instagram Stories?

Yes! I am a hiring manager and this is exactly why I ask this question.

It's a very tellin question if they claim Java experience and can't say anything coherent about leaks or "unintentionally reachable" objects.

It means both that they haven't had to attack memory pressure issues, haven't used heap dump tools, etc., and haven't had the intellectual curiosity to know how the platform works.
I've been a vegetarian my entire life and only eaten meat once accidentally in a supposedly veggie burger.

But I can imagine life in coastal areas where fish is the only option.

For those who kill the animals they eat, do you ever feel attached to it? I can't imagine killing my dog for food. It's like cannibalizing my child.
How exactly do either of those acts contribute to current problems?
"90 days before we ask for a credit card, then less than $40 per year after that. Try us for 3 months let us show you how to save time, money and hassle for less than the cost of a family meal per year"

Just a thought to throw out there.
How to learn and understand hacking from home
I am curious about recommended beginning into understanding hacking and to learn how to hack? Is it as simple as learning programming languages and having connections with other people? Do you really have to have a Computer Science degree to understand any of it. I don't want to be a hacker necessarily but I think its a useful skill that I have always wanted to understand but can't really afford the Computer Science path at school.

I am on F1 as well and I can agree that finding a job is hard on that visa. But I don't care anymore since I am leaving soon anyway :)
I'm starting to find the "indentured servitude" thing really pretty irritating. Comparing being a highly paid tech worker with some issues changing jobs to an illegal form of (essentially) slavery is ridiculous.

I also don't really see how either act causes the problems you are describing.
Is it possible that perhaps your EC2 instances were bigger than they should be, and perhaps to make Lambda work in satisfactory manner you also placed CloudFront in front of it?

Because those sites you mentioned (bustle.com and romper.com) look like something that could benefit a great deal from using CDN which would then drastically reduce need for large instances.
And thus, yet another insipid "hey let's argue about JS fatigue!" comment clobbers another HN comment page, with 100+ replies not one of which has anything to do with TFA.
