America has plenty of tech workers, but needs even more of them because high tech has become a major pillar of the economy. So the US doesn't need to be dependent on immigrants as long as it is willing to pare back its high tech industry by a factor of 2 or so.
As far as I know it's not feasible to use Github repos instead of npm, at least for client-side code. Most packages are compiled from ES6 (or typescript, jsx etc) to ES5, and the generated code (which is what you want in your project) is usually not included in the git repo.

I was diagnosed with hepatitis B six years ago when I became pregnant with my first child. My husband got tested for the virus as well but the results turned out negative. I had no idea how or where I contracted that virus. I had no signs or symptoms before the test. Last year I was getting some burning sensations in both feet and insomnia. I have not had any medications. December 2017 our family doctor started me on Green House Herbal Clinic Hepatitis B Virus Herbal mixture, 5 weeks into treatment I improved dramatically. At the end of the full treatment course, the disease is totally under control. No case of insomnia, burning feet, or weakness. Visit Green House Herbal Clinic official website www. greenhouseherbalclinic .com. I am strong again and able to go about daily activities.‌ This Herbal Formula is Incredible!! My life is back.
I don't really, it's just a matter of risk avoidance, paying attention to what happened post-2008 housing crisis, and understanding the consequences of strategic default.

If you don't pay your mortgage, it's generally either impossible or not worth suing you for the outstanding balance. Usually what happens is the bank spends a few months going through the foreclosure process, trashes your credit score, takes your house, and evicts you. This is bad, but if you owe $400k on a house that's worth $300k, it's less bad than continuing to pay your mortgage and dump an extra $100k down the drain. You save up first + last + security + moving costs for an apartment or renting a house out of the freed up cash flow, deal with the fact that getting credit is going to be difficult for a while, and move on with your life.
As Haskell shows, typeclasses are not ruled out by type inference. There is a reason they can't be added to OCaml, though, and it is functors. OCaml's functors are fundamentally incompatible with typeclasses.

I think one of the problems with getting new people into OCaml is that you feel the pain of not having typeclasses long before you understand the power of functors.

> Americans can easily use services hosted outside the US. Chinese users cannot easily use services hosted outside China.

Services hosted outside the US by companies with presence in the US fall under Patriot Act which means US can spy on them any time without warrant, but ianal.
Even if the company has no presence in the US, there are only a handful of countries that would not bend over to hand data to US. That's why US doesn't need to block access to anything while China has to.
Yes, you're right.The country based quotas are the real issue.

However, this issue stems from the fact that the US has no real high-skills immigration path the way Canada, Australia and a bunch of other countries have.

Because of this, an H1 worker from a body shop is equal to a rocket scientist from MIT if they're both Indian.

Look, I have nothing against the body shop H1 worker who's only trying to make a better life for himself - what I don't like is companies that exploit Indians (and other nationalities) and the American public alike.

We all get screwed together, and the US should have sensible immigration policy that works to improve the lives of its citizens.

Of course Americans shouldn't be exploited.

Of course you should be trying to attract the best and brightest - but also lower skilled workers who can fill jobs that have a low supply of labor (all the illegal immigrants are working away in this space).

Immigration is an important aspect of public policy, and by having a broken system, your government is not doing its job.
It isn't necessary or desirable to prohibit the ban-speech party from speaking. This is my primary objection to political philosophies that favor minmaxing statistics with policy, over principles. I object in the extreme to the idea that if A->B->C->D->E->F->G->Hitler, then society has a duty to prohibit A at the expense of liberal principles. Start with banning G, if you absolutely must. Speech doesn't directly cause victory. It only seems that way if you're very afraid of something.
Thank you. He does seem to have some good ideas, but boy is there a lot of self-indulgence to wade through; I tried getting into a couple of his books and gave up.
It sounds like what you're talking about is Pascals Wager[0]

The idea being that belief in God pays of well if true. And is alright if false. Disbelief in God pays off poorly if true, and alright if false. Therefore, any logical person ought to be a Christian, since the consequences of belief are net positive either way. Or so the thought goes.

As a person of faith, I will say that this thought experiment is fairly flawed. For one, you must apply Pascals wager to all faith systems simultaneously if you want to be sure you get the best outcome. But of course, it's not equally likely that Pastafarianism is the one true way as is Buddhism as is Atheism. How do you weight the possibilities in such a way to do an honest analysis? These things are based on what you believe already - so then the question of what to believe becomes recursive, really.

The Japanese engaged in and got away with things like tariffs on Rossignol under the made up excuse that Japanese snow is unique, and thus only Japanese skis were fit for skiing in Japan. Sure, their snow in some places is "wetter", but we now see western skis doing well there and Japanese skis performing well on non Japanese snow. That's the kind of nonsense our leadership should have stood up to.
That also applies to these towns that may be more 3 times that distance from a larger city. 73 miles is not far compared to the cities in the article.

I grew up with people like my dad (born in the 30s) saying they'd "never buy a Jap car". He never did but we did have Honda and Suzuki dirt bikes because of the quality and price.
It’s mainly in large facilities that run huge jobs with massive amounts of data. Maya, Nuke, Houdini, Flame, Baselight, many in-house VFX software all run perfectly well Linux. And of course the cornucopia of renderers running on their server farms, as might be more expected.

The lineage is from SGI, where many of these applications were born, but as the company faltered and consumer graphics hardware took off thanks to gaming, Linux became the natural home.
Interesting that this and other comments like it are being downvoted, I see nothing untrue or offensive about what you've written.
There is no long run.

The landscape is changing so fast that any competitive advantage that unfolds over multiple years, such as treating your employees well, fostering junior developers etc, doesn't have much of an effect. There's too much chaos and reinvention going on.

Flanders Scientific, Sony, Dolby in order from cheapest to most expensive. FSi and Sony use the same panels for their 25" models. Sony x300 is the go to right now for affordable HDR. Dolby is the gold standard for non projector color critical work.

For non color critical necessary displays, Eizo is about the best. Lots of" good enough" panels from LG, Acer, and Fell though. I actually have a gaming panel that calibrated surprisingly well and holds those numbers.

The best consumer display by far though are the LG OLED televisions. They're so good that we're installing them in lots of mid level suites as client monitors (aka close enough to our color critical panels).
What I've seen in tech is the idea that literally any number of false negatives is worth avoiding a single bad hire. It's fine to claim that trade-off is worth it to you, but it's ludicrous to simultaneously claim there's a shortage of talent. That's just a shortage of risk-free opportunity. Hey, I suffer from a shortage of risk-free opportunities too.

> "Mr. Tory, who has praised the Sidewalk initiative but has not seen the text of the deal, says no commercial agreement could strip the city of its authority"

This is a quite disingenuous argument.

The general rule in common law countries is that legislatures can't bind their future selves. So in theory no contract can constrain a government with legislative power.

What constrains them is that voiding contracts by exercising that legislative power has ruinous side-effects. It makes it harder to find bidders for contracts, harder to find suppliers, hard to borrow money, all because you just demonstrated a willingness to use your get-out-of-anything-free card without a truly compelling public interest at stake. The reason people are comfortable undertaking large contracts is that the law will keep folks more or less on the level. If you break that guarantee, people will simply not contract with you.

Governments around the world frequently wear the consequences of horrible contracts with terrible terms, because the consequences of undermining confidence in their contractual safety are much worse.

So, in fact, if they sign a contract, they are going to be more or less stuck with it. Even if it's terrible. So it matters what's being signed.

Of course, I am not a lawyer. Hell, in Toronto I can't even call myself an "engineer".

Somewhat related is the phenomenon where if fir example you know you'll have vegetarians and meatatarians, you can get away with serving vegetarian food and for the most part everyone will eat. If on the other hand you serve an omnivorous meal the vegetarians will not eat.
> "For newbies, machines are great to improve their form"

Well, there we do disagree ;) The activation patterns which are crucial to balance and stabilization don't get developed when using machines, and you can build up muscles much more quickly than connective tissue (tendons and ligaments). It's all too easy to into a situation where you're strong enough to lift weight that you can't stabilize under stress, and that's when injury is likely to occur. Weak tendons and ligaments coupled with poor stabilization activation patterns is a recipe for injuries. Better to start off with lighter free weight and good form for long term health and strength.

I don't have it at hand, but I recall a trainer encouraging a progression that went along the lines of "Form, then Speed, then Weight". If this jogs anyone's memory and has a reference (perhaps with a correction or expansion), I'd appreciate it.
You're going to have to give a reliable citation for both of these, especially given the current position on abortion in the Republic of Ireland, and the second one sounds like Daily Mail / Express misleading story.
I like flat laces a lot because they seem to distribute the force a lot better than round styles. I like my shoes to be fairly minimalist, I don't like overly padded or heavy shoes, and round styles seem to put a lot more pressure on the top of my foot.

The oval style with the sharp edges has a lot of the benefits of the flat style, but is more universally compatible. The flat ones don't always move well in round eyelets, they work better with loops in my experience.

The completely flat style doesn't tie well if one of the laces is twisted though. I think it's a great option for athletic shoes though, where you are more likely to care about a particular level of give, etc, and when you don't want your shoes to become untied. The round style is cheaper, and if you don't notice the difference it's probably a more versatile shoelace.

Plus you can do fancy knots with the round style.
To pull an excerpt from a post regarding culture [1] that was on the HN front page a few days ago,

"Flipping through the annals of ethnography, one cannot but be struck by the “fit” that exists – most often – between the culture of a society and the demands that its institutional structures make. A society that is under constant military threat will have a culture that celebrates martial virtues, a society that features a cooperative economy will strongly stigmatize laziness, an egalitarian society will treat bossiness as a major personality flaw, an industrial society with highly regimented work schedules will prize punctuality, and so on.There are, of course, instances in which there is a poor match between the two (i.e. where the culture is dysfunctional). And, of course, one of the chief impediments to changing the institutional structures of many societies is that the culture is not “adapted” to the new pattern. (Thus, for example, it is difficult to create bureaucracies in cultures that strongly value family ties, because the latter generate nepotism and corruption.)"

As I grow older and understand the world better, I've come to appreciate how often bold proclamations rest upon hidden assumptions in one's worldview. Correspondingly, it is very difficult to give useful advice to someone else without first understanding their worldview. For the hard societal problems, the crux is often buried several levels deep, and treating superficial symptoms will not help much.

India has many development challenges, but flippant prescriptions without an understanding of the context are quite useless. One's worldview dictates what one considers success, what one considers wealth and what one considers acceptable tradeoffs to get there. The very notions of business/entrepreneurship/growth are also very different in India, traditionally. Add to that the fact that India is a collage of many diverse cultures, so there can't be one "right" answer. All this is definitely changing due to the last few decades of globalization, but the situation is sufficiently unique that much is lost in translation. Unfortunately, my understanding is not yet comprehensive enough to articulate the contrasts.

>Every year it seems like the winter gets a little milder...

yes it does.
>Compile times are often mitigated by just using the runHaskell interpreter, or turning off optimisations.

No, not really. If you touch a module that a lot of other modules depend on, then you have to recompile a lot of code, and that takes ages (even without optimizations). I'm hardly the only person who has this issue: https://www.reddit.com/r/haskell/comments/45q90s/is_anything...

To be fair, fast compile times are something that's hard to get excited about in the abstract. Before I tried Go, I'd read that it compiled super fast, but that wasn't something that really attracted me to the language. I certainly didn't think that it was worth giving up, say, generics to achieve those fast compile times. But now that I've actually experienced the joy of never having to wait for code to compile, it's really changed my perspective on language features.

As the reddit thread explains, the only people who are really motivated to work on GHC are people who want to add yet more features to a language that's already extremely feature rich. Compile times are getting worse and worse, and the value added by the additional features is getting less and less.

Honestly, Haskell 98 gives me 95% of what I'd want from a pure, lazy functional language. I'd much rather have a simple, fast Haskell 98 compiler than a beast like GHC. But unfortunately, it's too

>What sort of tools does Go have that Haskell doesn't?

For me, VSCode integration that just works. I get instant highlighting of compiler errors and I can jump to definitions, rename variables, run tests from within the editor, etc. etc. I'm aware that the Haskell ecosystem has at least some of this functionality in principle, but it's way more fragmented and less reliable.
> If it would be advantageous for the US to erect trade barriers against Chinese exports, why would it not be advantageous for California to erect trade barriers against Mississippi, where average wages are dramatically lower, there are far fewer environmental regulations, etc.

It would totally benefit California because they could do whatever they wanted and companies couldn't just up and move to Mississippi if things got too bad.

California (and all other states) consumers, on the other hand, would not benefit as prices would rise as a result of this protectionism.

Not really sure what the point of this red herring is but the theory of protectionism applies equally well at all levels from the mom and pop grocery store opposed to a new Walmart to continent sized economic blocks.
>I mean, if they weren't low then why would farms pay money for the more expensive seeds?

Because they have more assurance of their crop not falling prey to some disease. But even a 100% increase chance of a good yield is nothing (while it means the world to farmers) if the final price is many times what they sell for.
At this point believing or not believing in climate change is analogous to religion. I have trouble believing any facts or data would swing a significant portion of either side of the debate. Denying climate change is easy. We're not going to see places like New York City move swiftly underwater and the problem is so abstract it's easy to call BS. Short of Trump changing his mind and using his super power of convincing conservatives to go along with things they otherwise never would have gone along with we will continue in this pattern for probably our life time.

It is true that battlefield efficiency of such camouflage is unknown - but I think one can see the effects it does on the brain without conducting a proper rigorous study. The question here is not whether the effect exists - which is IMO obvious - but whether it's enough to make difference in actual combat.
