Damn, how remote are we talking here? I live in the middle of nowhere in New York State (1 hour drive to the nearest town, 2 to the nearest C-list city, 4 to Toronto, 10 to NYC). We've had high speed cable internet since 1999.

> You can only get "wireless" internet which is shit.

Depends on where you are. WISPs with a microwave connection are usually faster than cable, if run properly. More and more of them are popping up in rural areas because you don't have the high cost of running cable or fiber.

I can't speak to Facebook, but all the H1B's I knew from Microsoft were drones at best. U of W churned out hundreds of people each year who would have loved to have those jobs.
Well, they are paying their employee good money, which is one way to justify the use of H1B, the really high skilled worker, at least in terms of market value.

Companies like Tata and Infosys are the real problems here, not only for locals, but for other people who apply for H1B as well. Some actions are largely overdue.
The thing is, Indians and Chinese are fleeing their countries because it's so much worse there. If life was better in their countries, they would stay. But it's not. So instead of trying to help their fellow citizens, they run away and make Americans pay the cost.

You're completely ignoring the substance of my question. Of course I understand that the US constitution doesn't allow racial discrimination. Surely its the case that racial discrimination is inherently bad and THEREFORE the US constitution prohibits it. Do you really want to hold the position that racial discrimination is bad BECAUSE the US constitution prohibits it?

You seem to ascribe very special moral rights to this particular association of people that we call democratic states. Why is the USG allowed to ban foreigners from coming to the US if they undercut American wages? Is New York State allowed to ban people from NJ from working in NYC by a majority vote (or a super-majority vote)? Again, I'm not asking whether the US constitution allows this - I know that it doesn't. The question is regarding ethics not law.

I haven't used it, but it's still the same pseudocode:

defmodule HelloPhoenix.UserController do
def index(conn, _params) do
users = HelloPhoenix.Repo.all(HelloPhoenixUser)
render conn, "index.json", users: users
end
end

For CRUD, I'm not too convinced it's much different than what you'd be doing anywhere else.

For websockets, streaming, and other stuff beyond request -> database query -> response, then competing abstractions get more interesting.
As an American, workers born in the USA are more important to me.

I care more about my neighbor's employment status, safety, and happiness than the family down the street. I care more about the guy down the street than the family across town... etc etc etc... I care more about some family in some US state that I'll never visit than a family over in India.

The closer they are to me, the more their success and problems will affect me either directly through interaction or indirectly through taxes or how they're likely to vote for something crazy in a future election out of desperation.

Local people even on a national level should get better chances if for no other reason than they've been here hopefully contributing to our system longer and they should be first to get some benefit out of it.

The pitfalls of using location streams for building live location features
Oh the Nostalgia! My soul hurts.

I was just a kid (teenager) so I didn't have the funds to run a BBS myself. But I remember the 60 minute limits, the long lists of local BBSes, the ANSI graphics, Maximus, RemoteAccess and others (I had played with a few in the hopes of starting a BBS, but that era was starting to end when I graduated in the early 2000s), Door games, RIP graphics (the very early days of vector art on VGA screens).

There were door games like Baron Realms Elite where BBS sysops would get together and play BBS against BBS (of course many people had player accounts of multiple BBSes but it was all part of the fun and the years of protection added a decent balance to the game).

Games from that era were so much better than this Free-To-Play with micro-transactions crap. I understand it earns mobile game companies a ton of money (from a tiny % of the population that spends $200 to $5000 on a single game), but the shareware model of first 10 levels free, next 30 levels for $x made for much better games. Plus it gave people something to exchange from board to board; the whole upload/download ratios (which kids from the torrent era should really learn about--because it existed then and for legal shareware on the majority of BBSs).

I remember once getting an amazing side scrolling shooter from Japan. It may have not been shareware, but it was impossible to tell. It had no readme and I couldn't read anything on the screen. :-P It was super fun though, and I remember thinking of all the hops it must have taken (those people who make long distance BBS calls, or maybe just someone who brought disks over on a holiday) to get to a BBS in my small town.

I also remember Doom coming out, and all the Sysops talking about how amazing a game it was. I think it was 3 disks though; took either three days (60 minutes time limits) or hopping to three different BBSes to get all the disks. Then it said I needed a 386 or higher (I had a 286). I took it to a friends house who had a 486. His mom was a super Christian. She watched us play a few levels and that didn't really end well.
My experience is in medical equipment -- not quite the mess that medical devices are, thankfully. The general idea is a combination of redundancy, clean-room methods, and people whose domain expertise is in testing and edge case analysis.

From a personal perspective, I find that trying to design tests as the developer of the code to be tested is fundamentally difficult -- I have embedded assumptions around the functionality of the code that make it cognitively difficult to fully envision complex failure scenarios. Some of the best test producers I've worked with have had no development background at all.

Melbourne is a positive outlier and not at all representative of the rest of Australia. Finding senior devs in Brisbane is an insanely arduous process and its not uncommon to see positions take 6+ months to fill (at least at the places I've worked at). Even when companies start throwing money around like crazy, the talent just isn't there.

I've heard that Sydney isn't so great either. Once devs hit seniority they run along to join a hip Melbournian startup, get gobbled up by Atlassian, or just migrate to Silicon Valley.

A start-up company named Vitals Pro announced the launch of their wearable cardiac health monitoring device which is available as smart-watch and wristband. This device is specially made with many unique features, and enables users to easily monitor their cardiac health in modern lifestyle. The company has said that it is the first device, which can provide real-time medical grade heart health insights and it could save millions of lives every year from stroke, heart attack, and cardiac arrest. Also, it's the first portable and user-friendly medical device that can give real-time alerts before a cardiac arrest and stroke will occur, it will also notify family Doctor of client situation anytime-anywhere.

> You sound young. When you get older you'll find out that ability is only tangentially related to keeping one's job.

You sound cynical and used a lazy argument. Can you justify the parent poster's demand that Americans be provided with jobs? How about justifying horse trainers demanding that the car industry be stopped?
Cool, seeing lots of garbage opinions in this thread. Either H1Bs are bad because they create greater competition with people who aren't American citizens, or if you got fired from a job that replaced you with someone on an H1B you must be a bad worker.

Haven't seen a single comment in here acknowledging that our immigration policy exists solely to benefit the wealthy (the wealthiest immigrants, or the ones with the most marketable skills and the wealthiest employers who often choose to exploit their immigrant employees via the precarity of immigration status created by an H1B). It would be great if people started having the conversation that we can have a mutually beneficial policy if we expedite citizenship for foreign born workers and actually work to build labor power in our industry instead of adopting nativist rhetoric or attempting to justify the various ways in which workers in tech are marginalized.
Same thing happened to me and I'm the same age. Except it was this year and not 2008.
Trained model for Google's image captioning system: im2txt
I'll attempt to explain what I understand from the paper. This will be higher level, and abstracted because that's the best I can do as an undergraduate currently.

The DNC essentially gives the neural network external memory. This memory is controlled by read heads, and write heads. These heads are actually just part of the vector output of the neural network. Each of them has a key vector, which is used to find where in memory to read or write. This is done by finding the most similar vector in memory, using cosine distance. The neural network can then use the memory. It also has mechanisms to remember the order that the memory vectors were written in, to allow for sequential recall.

The network itself is trained by reinforcement learning generally. I'm not entirely sure what is done with the parts of the vectors that are not used at a given timestep, when only input and not output is needed.

Again, this is what I believe I was able to understand from the paper. Please let me know if I got anything wrong.
This paper may be helpful until then.

College grads churned out by UW seem just as drone-like as H1B's.
Well highly skilled not doesn't mean the job is not repetitive.

In case of Microsoft, why would a local fails to an alien in such case, if they are both qualified? I cannot think of a reason why corporate would go straightly prefer aliens over locals. H1Bs do bring the whole market price down, but for individuals, aliens are more expensive I believe because of the legal cost.

Maybe some locals are just not good enough and don't deserve the job in competition.
Don't know about particular circumstances here but I'd imagine more than a handful of FB engineers know how to fly.
This is changing pretty steadily. For example, the AWS SDK has TypeScript types packaged now and a promise interface. Compare this the boto3, the Python SDK, which has had a story open for years(?) to add async support with no official solution.

Node.js's own libraries are a mix of events and callbacks. Some of it can been "promisified", however they have yet to start a real async conversion AFAIK. I've had to wrap some of this stuff to create async interfaces for my own code.
AFAIK the canonical spelling of the progenitor software was FoReM. I never dabbled in VisionX but Celerity was definitely a FoReM derivative.

Except that's not what the H1-B program is for - exceptional skills.

This is the most famous recent example
https://www.pri.org/stories/2015-06-05/senator-calls-probe-a...

It seems like you are arguing that if someone in America is working a non creative/somewhat static job they should be happy to be replaced with a H1-B employee.
Thanks for the reply. The post was great! I've seen some Titus stuff in clouddriver so i'm pretty excited to eventually try it out. Running Spinnaker + Kubernetes now and it's amazing. Seriously powerful combo!
That's the point. The H1B program should bring the best and brightest to the US due to a lack of skills and or availability in the high skilled areas. Drone work is by definition not high skilled areas. Therefore the H1B folk should not be here. Those jobs would then go to the drone college kids, or to some outsourcing firm. That is the intent of the law.
creative threshold is subjective though. How do you draw the line? What is an easy litmus test that the bureaucrats can apply
Exactly. There was so much hype around Yarn when it came out, and it turned out to be pretty much npm with a couple more bells attached. OTOH, pnpm is doing it just right.
In one word: npm

In one sentence: You can build anything with NPM + copy paste in very little time.
You're just being a bit hyperbolic, silly even. Managin any environment, on-prem through hybrid through cloud is a non trivial task. Don't let this or anything else make you think otherwise. Take a look at all the devops containerization, scheduling and automation software. You can do a lot of stuff. But still it takes at least one person or a team of people to actually do it and be responsible for it in production.

This stuff is not as easy as vendors or aws would have you believe.
Why is the sentiment "I will always put my fellow whites first" bad but the sentiment you espouse not?
Turkey is not "de-facto ruled by the military." The military has historically taken orders from elected civilian leaders as long as those leaders embrace democracy and equality and the principles of Ataturk. When the civilian leaders veer too far from what they were elected to do, the military steps in and stops it, then retreats. Turkey's military is like the US Supreme Court; it's a check on the ambitions of fanatical would-be dictators who want to divide the country and pit groups against one another. This is certainly not how military coups usually work, which is why I said Turkey was a special case.
(Except this time the coup failed and the dictator won.)
I'm not a hirer but a lowly employee.

See my recent edit. I keep an eye on the market and I haven't seen any crazy wage increases.

I'm not against being convinced of the point but atm I'm just not convinced that there's no senior devs to find, at the right price.

Also, how long have these visas been going on for?

It's kind of a chicken-and-egg problem I guess. Because of the band-aid fix of the visas, the wages never go up and there's no extra incentive for people to become devs.

edit: I can't reply any more, I guess because it's become too deep.

You say I don't know the problem, but I am actually intermediate-level IT, and atm I have little incentive to move up because the wages are not commensurate with the extra responsibilities in my opinion.

So I feel I do have some knowledge of the problem at least anecdotally, as I would personally be applying for those positions if I felt I would be fairly paid for the extra stress/time/responsibility.

Those abusing H1b visas are companies that are usually brought in to replace aging workforce. H-1b visa holders have very limited job portability, which lets the employer abuse the system.

If the H1b employee had full work authorization similar to a green card holder (give a 6 year full work auth to every H1b holder, and his/her spouse), then there wont be a question of enslaved H-1b employees trying to grab whatever peanuts thrown by these abusive companies.

H1b numbers can be very misleading, because a bigger number of high skilled immigrants (except Indians and Chinese) can skip the who H-1b hell and go directly to getting an EAD (full work authorization).

Better way to solve this problem, is to remove the concept of H1b, have very stringent L1 visas (even these are abused a lot), and give instant green cards to anyone who secures a job in US after graduating from a US university.
Experts excited by brain 'wonder drug'
Massive companies already have an advantage when it comes to H1Bs. Because of the lottery system most H1B applicants will be rejected. If you have a small company and only need to hire 1-2 people how do you fill those positions with H1Bs? Apply for 2 and hope they both get it? What if they're both rejected? Even if they're accepted you have to have the applications done in the spring and they can't start work until the fall. Can a small company really afford to wait that long?

Your argument about the higher pay in certain areas is just wrong. Why can't a company in a lower cost of living area pay Silicon Valley rates? I'm getting paid more now in North Carolina than I was when I worked in Silicon Valley.

You are wrong, the H1B is a Dual intent visa, which means it can be used by non-immigrants as well as people trying to immigrate into the country.

That true, though I think that there is a difference.

Most, if not all people realize that Lyft and Uber are mostly just middlemen. That's what make it 'easy' for people looking for a part-time gig to jump in and start temporary work. Regardless of the ethics of having a large group of contractors, I think it's pretty evident to most users of the app of what the situation is, especially since customers will sometimes talk to the driver about their experience with being an Uber/Lyft driver.

On the flipside, I would be positively surprised if the majority of United passengers knew that Republic was a contractor working on behalf of United, what with the branding and all.
Only because they are here by breaking the intent and possibly the letter of the law. If they are here because they have real skills, great. I care while they're here. If they are drones used to illegally displace workers, boot them out. The reason it's not an "everybody's equal" thing is that a person in another country has less of chance of directly contributing to the betterment of the US. A native US has a higher impact since they are in the ecosystem. So given the Bayesian odds, I'll back the native.

If no insertions or deletions happen between accesses, a vector scan can also be done with only a single indirection, by simply incrementing the pointer to the node. This also means better locality than a linked list, where the next pointer may be close to the current node, while the next node can be anywhere. In a vector, they are simply next to each other.
