Hi Peter,
What are your thoughts on going directly from TN to Green Card via EB1/2/3, without going to H1B first?
>Everything he has written is the _lack_ of things that he thinks should logically happen, rather than things that are happening that would disprove the hunger hypothesis.

Actually arguing on the "lack of things that should logically happen" is exactly the same as arguing on "things that are happening".

In other words, what he says is the same whether he says "It can't be happen because X would be happen too and we don't see X", or he says "It can't happen because we see Y" (where Y is not X).
Maybe in the EU things are different, but in the US....

I've only had a couple of "extended warranties", and they were worded in such a way that they were useless. "This warranty does not cover normal wear and tear on $common_failing_part..." and the like.

If they were useful, I'd buy them all the time.

It's akin to a good algorithm for avoiding memory fragmentation - allocate your largest blocks first.

Assuming you need a contiguous block of time for each case, you should schedule the longest case that you expect to complete in the time available, leaving a bunch of cases you can easily slot into whatever time is left.
> Pattern matching without support for algebraic datatypes really misses the point.

The idea that pattern matching has only one point misses the point.

> What you want is to be able to declare all the shapes of your data, with descriptive names, and then be able to say definitely "these are the only such shapes."

While that is useful, it's not always the most important thing I want with pattern matching, it's usually a nice to have. If I can match on the shapes I can meaningfully handle in a particular point and use a default case with appropriate behavior (which may be to report an error condition) for any others, that's often enough.
The point of exclusivity is creating a safe space for women; for men most spaces are safe spaces - I can assert that as a male.

It doesn't mean, though, that we can deal with toxic masculinity without men being involved. I do remember seeing some serious effort within Thoughtworks (and I haven't even worked there) to discuss gender issues without excluding men, so it's not a impossible thing.
1.) More women are speaking out as they feel they have a voice.
2.) More women are in the higher positions so other women feel someone at the top will listen to them.
This happened to me at my last job - there were a bunch of us in a celebrated cocoon, and then everything fell apart when it was breached. It wasn't about undesirable people, it was about undesirable management influences; whiplash from constantly changing projects and reorgs, moving goal posts, etc etc. It definitely came with it's fair share of problems.

We were trying to isolate ourselves from the craziness in the rest of the company, and we got a lot of cool shit done while it lasted.
Humans have become very good at building in/out social groups. We even did it when we lived in small villages of homogenous skin colors. I admire what you're trying to do, but pretending that human nature is different than it has been for thousands of years is likely to leave you disappointed.

I read that you can have L1 visa for new office in the US if you already have an existing corporation outside the US.
So have I.

I have an "everything moves at c" hypothesis, wherein everything has an inertia/velocity vector with 3 spatial (squares to 1) components and 3 temporal (squares to -1) components. The magnitude of every vector is c.

We see three spatial dimensions, because the portion of our vector from the temporal components is almost c. Our inertia makes it very difficult to change our directional vector through the temporal dimensions, because we are almost at rest in the spatial dimensions. So we see time as a single dimension, because it is practically impossible for us to change the temporal-only components of our vector. Similarly, for an electron, when the spatial component of the vector is nearly c, it would perceive space as one dimensional, and would require less energy to change direction in the temporal dimensions. This results in spatial behavior that requires the use of probabilities.

We perceive up-down, left-right, front-back, and before-after. Someone moving at near-c through space might perceive to-fro, entropy-order, likely-unlikely, because-causes, or similarly incomprehensible-to-us dimensions.

This hypothesis is all thanks to the Back to the Future movies. Why does the DeLorean have to go 88 mph? Because the Doc could only generate 1.21 GW, and in order for that much energy to change your direction through time, you have to be moving at 88 mph. If you were going 120 mph, you would need less energy, but in 1985, 88 was about as much as you can expect from a commodity automobile. It also received significant contribution from quaternion-based mathematics, which is completely symmetric with respect to dimensional signatures of (3,1) and (1,3).
Do citizens from countries who are covered by the ESTA Authorization have an easier time getting a VISA?
This is very concerning. I'm curious how all this is delivered as far as the actions of officials to enact this behavior in general populace. How exactly do they pull it off? Are there new strategies employed or do they leverage years of chilling requests and punishments for people to generally know better not to cross the government? Do people personally know political prisoners and what not or see punished individuals paraded on TV and what not? Thanks for sharing.
> making the unsupported assumption that every government / Hollywood cooperation incident is a propaganda op, instead of far simpler explanations like "Joe in Langley publicity gets to brag to his family that he made the Top Chef episode happen."

To me it's like /r/hailcorporate, it doesn't primarily matter if it's intentional or not. There are many people exhausting their potential, credibility and dignity for the sake of identifying with some Moloch or other. Here, there, elsewhere. What had to be mostly forced, on people who had to be broken and tamed in the first place, now comes flowing freely, because Stockholm Syndrome is the gift that keeps on giving. So? Not everything is a propaganda "op", just like a piece of moss is not a fabricated carpet. It still has the effect of a carpet among other things, and grows systematically, consciously or not.

By the way, even the White Rose considered their own leaflets propaganda, then there's things like agitprop, I kind of wonder when and when that became such a hard word to use in earnest without theatrical eye rolling. The problem isn't propaganda, the problem is the lack of integrity and morals. In a more decent world, I would absolutely LOVE to have firefighters and cops and IT security people and whoever make propaganda, I would help them make it. There would be no soldiers obvs, because the only use those have is to defend against other soldiers at best, murder civilians at worst, which is a net negative.

Anyway, the problem to me is the corruption of institutions, not the institutions. A non-corrupt institution "being cute" or "posing as cool" actually is cute or least dorky in a likeable way respectively. Otherwise, "op" or not, propaganda or not, it's always way over the nasty line for me, certainly when money, lies and murder are involved.
https://www.theverge.com/2017/6/1/15724520/tesla-fires-femal...

>Tesla fired the female engineer who earlier this year publicly made claims about “unwanted and pervasive harassment” at the electric carmaker, according to The Guardian. Tesla says it was justified in firing the engineer, AJ Vandermeyden, because her accusations were false, but Vandermeyden’s lawyers allege that it amounts to retaliation.

I don't mean this to sound callous. Vandermeyden very well may have a case, or she may not. But from a game theory perspective, regardless of the merit of her case, it makes the most sense to allege some kind of harassment if you feel you are underperforming in your job and wish to get ahead, and you're in a protected class. The pros vastly outweigh the cons: cannot be fired, will be given special opportunities, potential payout if you are terminated, and you get social credit as a victim. The cons being you are fired (which probably would have happened anyways) or you are outed as a false accuser (very hard to prove in the realm of public opinion).

Now I'm not saying she was underperforming, or that harassment didn't happen, but looking at this from the perspective of someone looking to exploit and abuse a system, this system has serious flaws that should be considered.
> but it's better than excluding them entirely and I'd hope that most such events are inclusive of all groups

"Most"?

No, the point is for ALL events to be inclusive. Instead of combatting exlusion with isolation, it would be far better to strengthen the message that it really doesn't matter what labels other have put on you: if you have a desire in skill X, then come to this event with other people who are further along and learn from them, irrespective of their label. And conversly, if you are skilled in X, come spread the skill to anyone who's got a desire, irrespective of their label.
"Accessibility costs money" is a popular thing to say, but I'm not convinced that needs to be true. Okay, fine, captioning/transcribing videos I'll give you, but many of the other issues on this page can be addressed for a web page just by not breaking the defaults.

By default, links are underlined. For text content, many major browsers (Firefox and mobile Safari for sure) include a "reader mode" or similar where the user can adjust their own contrast - as long as you don't break your HTML and prevent the reader mode from working. Web pages are black and while by default, so anything with lots of bright colors is something you have to do intentionally. Animations are also something you have to add intentionally.

It really seems like just by not breaking the defaults (I.e., no work at all) your web page should do a decent (not perfect) job of being accessible. But we're so obsessed with making things shiny and swooshy that we've lost sight of that.
You realize that you have an assignment instead of a comparison?

Because most of HN have bought Musk's PR persona hook, line, and sinker.
>It seems like one of these companies that makes money by latching themselves onto the systems of large, inefficient corporations that don't trust their own engineers to do the work (even though they are capable).

Opportunity costs are a thing. Even if their engineers are capable and willing, it may not be the most productive use of their time.

Also, having worked for and consulted for many large, inefficient corporations outside the technology sector, Homemade software solutions have almost always been complete trash. The UX is generally extremely frustrating and they’re buggy as hell.

These things are always done as a side-project and don’t have the kinds of resources or project management expertise applied to them to get them done properly. Whether that’s engineerings’ fault or managements’ fault is immaterial as the result is always the same. Why not send the software work outside and let your company focus on what your company is good at?

For me, the point is that when we throw out a device because it's too expensive to repair, then we diminish our health, because we pollute our environment.

It's hard to measure, like a lot of things, but we should not throw away a microwave because a single transistor broke. We should get someone to repair it. We would collectively save money (instead of paying people with the RSA doing nothing, we should get some of them to learn how to repair stuff) and save the environment.

As for the tone, you might want to be a little more respectful than to simplify other people's thoughts down to "regulations because you're unhappy with screw holes". It does not help you in any way.
One of my reasons for leaving is that I'm watching our internal systems dissolve - some of the stuff I have responsibility for is hosted on rickety old systems that are long due for replacement, but management refuses to spend any money (or allocate time to rebuild them) because they're not customer-facing. Painful underinvestment for political reasons will be the death of this company. The IT team are fighting fires on a daily basis, and a major outage would probably have the 4 of them walking out (yes, 4 people supporting a global company). I've wisely decided to move on before it all melts.
Just adding, based on comments in the parent thread, that maybe it was 'Advanced Parole' that I got.

i have always theorized that a population decline first yields a boom, and then a strangling almost impossible to end bust to follow.

I imagine it like this, say everyone but you died. you'd have all sorts of crap, you would virtually have anything you wanted. but with no people to make food, stuff, medicine, keep things running, eventually you have virtually nothing.

I have always believed the great depression was the result of a population decline from ww1 and Spanish flue that lead to the roaring 20s, followed by a bust that was only put to a close by the end of ww2

The EU directive might say that but countries codify that into law differently. For example, here in Greece, there is actually no law stating warranties should be two years. It only says that the warranty should be "reasonable depending on the expected lifetime of the product".
The original code with the switch statement is by far the easiest to read, as well as being by far the fastest and most concise to write and (though it’s unlikely to matter) by several orders of magnitude the fastest to run as well.

The proper way to pattern match on types in JavaScript (and therefore TypeScript) is to first of all not if you can avoid it, but failing that a simple if-else chain checking `typeof(arg) === "primitiveType"` and `arg instanceof ReferenceType`, with ample use of the `debugger` statement to ensure inputs have the types and map to the branches you’re expecting them to.

TypeScript is great for adding type safety and better self-documenting qualities to a JS codebase. But attempting to preserve the semantics of its “imaginary” extensions to the JS type system (interfaces, generics) at runtime is a recipe for bugs, severe confusion and reams of pointless boilerplate.
The big thing missing from that assessment is case variability.

The clear-cut case with a plea bargain already assessed is short, but also predictable. If you schedule it at 11:50 AM, you'll still go to lunch at 12:00. The case that's going to take 16 different motions with unclear evidence isn't just long, it's unpredictable. Even if such cases take an average of one hour, you don't want to put them at 11:00 AM.

Shorter tasks are also easier to reschedule. Pushing three short cases from before lunch to after is much lower-impact than interrupting one big case midway through.

So I don't think your assessment is wrong, but there're other factors deciding this.
NASA's Kilopower uses sodium coolant, so it's a fast reactor and gets much more energy out of its fuel. It needs enough U235 to kick off the reaction but after that it will fission the U238 as well.

Burnup could still be limited due to fission products poisoning the reaction.

> You could just document the behavior that makes them want to fire them ("you smell funny") and followups in an email, and call it a day after a week or so.

Documenting something that has no objective criteria does very little to defeat even slight evidence of another motive for firing where the proferred reason is purely pretextual.

> Having success criteria when you just want to get rid of someone means if they do succeed, but you still wanted to just get rid of them, you are worse off as an employer

That's true; that cost is weighed against losing wrongful-termination lawsuits.

Also, very often formal PIPs follow undocumented informal ones that have the same purpose in reality that a formal one does on paper (but which avoid any adverse record for an employee you end up keeping), and the success criteria in the formal PIP are things the manager knows (to a fair certainty) the employee will not meet based on the informal one.
I guess what you see as pro-corporatist I see as pro-consumer in this case. Specifically, forcing the consumer to purchase a warranty that they would rather not purchase.

I have no problem, for example, with common-law tenants of implied warranties, and in general, the right of customers to demand redress for obvious failures to meet expectations or deception on the part of companies (be the corporations or otherwise).

I believe, though, that the consumer has a right to set a price on their own preference for risk, in general. In specific cases, especially where there are externalities involved, then it's reasonable to limit it (leaded gasoline, for example, or healthcare, for a more controversial (in the US) one), but I feel the starting point should be to let the consumer decide for themselves.
They aren't directly comparable. OS scheduling assumes 100% availability of the resources for its own purposes, with no external interruptions.

However, instead assume that the processor is only available for a couple 4-hour time slices a day. And, for reasons, starting a task that cannot be finished should generally be avoided. Now, if you need an estimated 4 hours to finish a task, that task must be scheduled at the beginning. If you take the alternative and schedule smaller tasks first, say they all take 2 hours. Well, you can't plug a 4-hour task into a 2-hour slot, so you just wasted 2 hours of time.
Why would you want to manufacture in microgravity? What are the practical advantages of this? I can't think of any, but I can think of a lot of disadvantages of this.

Also, a Mars colony would require millions of tonnes of raw materials. You can only get that in-situ.
Some additional points:

* It's not UB in Rust, it's guaranteed to be two's compliment overflow.

* It's still a "program error" and debug builds are required to panic.

* Non-debug builds are allowed to either panic or do the overflow, for performance reasons, as you mention. If it was feasible to always panic we'd do that; the current wording allows us to change it to do so in the future if it becomes feasible.

* If you want to do a checked add, you can, it's just not the default.

I agree, I think this is where the "fishy"-ness I spoke of earlier comes in. Giving the benefit of the doubt to Coraline, there is definitely more at play than being rude in a few emails. I just feel uncomfortable jumping from an individual account to broadly concluding an organization is sexist.
