At what point do you decide that it is not worth your time?

There is nothing crazy about saying that people who show up at a port of entry and ask for asylum should not have their children kidnapped and put in concentration camps.

Asking that immigrants be treated humanely is not the equivalent of asking for no restrictions on immigration at all.

On modern x86_64 implementations tiny changes in code layout can have large effects. There are rampant stories of "load-bearing NOPs" that mysteriously make programs several percent faster.

Sure, I think the approach could work successfully in some cases, but I think specifically allowing it to learn transformations of the input color space would be quite problematic — you are essentially giving it more degrees of surface statistics freedom with which to data mine a better looking overfitting metric during validation steps.
Speaking as someone who worked very hard to overcome some problems with anxiety, I can tell you it is certainly not 'super simple'. It was very hard work and I had a wonderful psychologist to help guide me through.

People who suffer should have hope, but telling them it is 'super simple' sets them up for a nasty fall. It's a battle against years of habits.
ICE really shouldn't exist in the first place. It's an unnecessary organization that is already proving it's dangerous, unorganized, and too powerful.
Another related phenomenon is the relocation of an entire town which often results in building an entire infrastructure from scratch. These are either caused by natural disasters like Pattonsburg. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pattonsburg,_Missouri

Or it can be caused by planned hollowing of the ground from mining like Kiruna. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kiruna

Either scenarios are fascinating to think about the engineering effort that goes into starting a town from scratch. Like literally sim city.

@i_dont_know, I think you are getting it very wrong.

A humane thing to do, is for the parents that are committing the crime of illegal entry, and being deported -- to take their children with them.

But instead, they are dropping their kids off here, knowing that US cannot deport them, together with their parents.

And then they are crying-wolf, together with a few intellectually-dishonest politicians, that US immigration law, when enforced, is not humane.

An inhumane thing to do, is to you use your own children as a shield, to avoid being punished for the crimes you are committing.
The fun part about this question is that it's always asked as if it's crazy talk to suggest there could be variation in how different crimes are addressed.... when in fact, there's quite a latitude in how we handle different violations of the law. Or even individual cases.

Not every crime is prosecuted and not every conviction means prison. Why should immigration be different?

(And that's before we even get to the question of reports where people presenting themselves for asylum -- a legal process -- have been treated as if they're breaking the law. Or ways in which recent policy seems to have been tweaked to otherwise gum up legal immigration avenues.)

Here's a quick update on the most popular questions.

1. Are those numbers real or fake in favor of content marketing?

Numbers are real. Anyone from this forum can book a call with me, and I will do a screen sharing of our Stripe/Baremetrics panel. My email is alex at standuply.com.

2. It's not a trend, but a peak number in revenue.

Our revenue breakdown: Feb: $7k Mar: $9k Apr: $19,5k May: $25k June: $13k (as of 20th June). So we'll get a bit less in June. You decide whether it was a peak or it's a trend.

3. It only cost us $23,000/month in advertising

In 18 months we spent less than $2k on paid ads and didn't waste any dollar in 2018.
Agree, but any hope for AR? Apple's been plugging away, and Magic Leap keeps getting investors...
What advantage is my employer gaining by hiring the illegal immigrant instead of continuing to employ me? Would it be that they can pay them less than minimum wage or avoid paying payroll taxes or avoid paying for mandatory benefits? If so, my problem is with my employer, not with the illegal immigrant that replaced me.

Maybe, but the Itanium came out during a time when the laptops were really becoming important and there was never an Itanium laptop. I look at the Itanium like I look at the G5 (970). It doomed itself by having no laptop possibilities.
"...the understanding of blockchain on reddit is non-existent."

The understanding of a lot of things are almost non-existent on reddit, or rather the people who know what they are talking about are buried by an algorithm that vastly prefers populist comments typed as quickly after OP as humanly (or robotically) possible. Of course this makes reading the article (or other posts) and having your comment visible mutually exclusive.

I didn't realize how little correct information was available on reddit until I became very specialized in a subject, went to that subject's sub, and saw that practically nobody there even knew the basics--yet they happily chat about the subject anyway, pretending they were experts. The rare exceptions were nearly invisible, lost in in-jokes and references.

Be-very-fucking-ware when asking advice about something you are unsure about on reddit, they will channel so much smoke up your ass you'll burp clouds. And once one person makes a confident declaration which is totally false or misunderstood--pretending they're some pro or expert--almost immediately every other guy in the thread is copy-pasting his response to every other instance of that question as quickly as they can to get points or whatever. It's silly.

For the record I try not to be so delusional as to believe I'm the only one who knows anything and everyone else is stupid--I'm totally average, lots of people are brighter than me. This is a systematic thing brought on accidentally by their forum design.
Kind of interesting to thing of the CPU as just another peripheral.
Wow, that is an incredibly obscure reference.

This comment chain on HN was the first thing I found when I googled "Job Inaction Timothy Zahn".

Looks like a good read though, might save it for lunch.
To my understanding, the people who actually showed up at an official port of entry are not the ones facing criminal prosecution and family separation. In fact, most of them are simply turned away or told "we're full for the day" or some such. Of course this often prompts them to just attempt crossing in an illegal way.

Regardless, at that point it's no longer a matter of "asking to be allowed into the country".

Point is I've seen the term "asylum seeker" a lot recently in reference to the current immigration crisis and the issue of families being separated. Certainly some of the families who crossed illegally are seeking asylum, but I suspect most are, just as always, people looking to immigrate because of the economic advantages of living and working in the US. Whatever you think of that, asylum it does not make.

Edit: I have read of a few cases where apparently families that showed up at an official port of entry were detained and separated. If this is done without serious reason to believe the children are not actually related to the parents, or are otherwise in danger, of course it is wrong. Still most of the cases of family separation people are complaining about are from illegal crossings. Whether you believe that is right or wrong is another issue.
> Not every crime is prosecuted and not every conviction means prison. Why should immigration be different?

Prosecution of illegal immigration is a bit special as anything short of full enforcement is arguably open borders. It’s unreasonably to expect an illegal entrant to show up for a court date. They’ve already demonstrated they won’t respect the law.
Well tough, should've thought about it before proposing it. Now every fat ad fucker with money is going to shove banners using new black box and nothing is going to stop them. Do the benefits outweigh that problem? Up to debate.

Mixing "difficult APIs" into this is just missing the point IMO. It's the black box potential that attracts the average web pest today.
I recommend prioritizing mental health over productivity. Give yourself time to figure out your problems when possible. Take a lunch break outside the office if you're allowed. Sleep for 9 hours when you can. Be nice to others when they're struggling. You're always going to get unmotivated sometimes, just try again the next day.
For Blizzard at least, it translates to bottom line. More cheaters means less happy players.
You make it sound like it's a solved problem that we're behind the curve on. This doesn't seem accurate to me; it seems like immigration is a divisive hot-button issue in most western democracies right now.
Not really anymore haha. It's more a state of mind. I wanna do proofs and chill these days.
I purchased the board game "Cuba" from someone on gumtree (we're both Australian) and paid them with Paypal. For the transaction note I wrote "Cuba" and my (Australian) address.

This is what I received from Paypal:

To ensure that activity and transactions comply with current regulations, PayPal is requesting that you provide the following information via email to ComplianceTransactions@paypal.com

1. Purpose of payment XXXXXXXXXXXX attempted on 29 May 2016 in the amount of 53.00 AUD, including a complete and detailed explanation of the goods or services you intended to purchase. Please also explain the transaction message: "Cuba and postage to 4113. <my address>."

They obviously have a block on the word "Cuba" and there was some back and forth to let the transaction through.
> that many other parts of the Federal government would leave MSFT's services.

The government is not going to waste billions of dollars over something like this, especially given its track record in IT.
Part of the issue is that _everyone_ has a different definition of what "boilerplate" means.

So, legit question: what do _you_ mean by that term? Use of actions? Action creators? `connect()`? Immutable update logic in a reducer? Store setup?

I honestly get frustrated that people keep throwing around that term, but few people seem to point to a specific _thing_ that can be improved. (People also don't seem to understand the context that Redux came from and the intent behind its original design, something that I tried to capture in an extended blog post a while back [0]).

Early last year, I filed an issue asking for discussion of ways we can improve the learning / getting started experience, and resolve some of these "boilerplate" complaints [1]. There were a bunch of comments and some decent ideas, but I already have a lot on my plate, and no one from the community really stepped up to help push any of the ideas forward.

I do have a small "redux-starter-kit" lib [2] prototype that I've put together as a tool that can help simplify the store setup process and reducer logic. Again, though, I haven't had time to do much more with it myself since I first threw it together.

I am _always_ open to legit suggestions on ways we can improve the docs or find ways to make using Redux easier. Unfortunately, it seems like very few people are interested in actually getting in touch with us and offering assistance in doing so.

This helps if and only if you suffer from instruction starvation. Given that nginx binary size is around 1 MB which fits comfortably inside cache, it is very unlikely BOLT would help with nginx.
Given how craptacular the terminals are here, not having the fallback would lead to a nontrivial amount of lost sales. (Sooo.. I can’t pay? Guess I have to abandon this cart of groceries and find a bank branch...)

The chips also don’t seem to last as long as the magstripes for some reason (which makes zero sense when you think about it). I’ve had to get my card replaced 3x in the space of two years.

sync.Map is NOT a good solution for all concurrent map use cases. Please use your best judgement for the well documented trade-offs:

>The Map type is optimized for two common use cases: (1) when the entry for a given key is only ever written once but read many times, as in caches that only grow, or (2) when multiple goroutines read, write, and overwrite entries for disjoint sets of keys. In these two cases, use of a Map may significantly reduce lock contention compared to a Go map paired with a separate Mutex or RWMutex.
Imagine people fleeing a country from a flood or attacking country (like Germany in WWII) we're torn from their children and held separately? Does that seem humane?

I can imagine this, but afaik there are no floods or wars going on in Mexico atm. It would be inhumane to punish people in that scenario, but that isn't the scenario we are talking about. Rather, these seem to just be people that don't like it in Mexico and want to go to the US. I want lots of things too, but I don't break the law to get them.
According to wikipedia ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Initiatives_and_referendums_in... ) and ballotpedia ( https://ballotpedia.org/wiki/index.php/Indirect_initiative_s... ), Ohio allows indirect initiatives.

Meaning that if you were right about the voting base, it would be easy to legalize recreational marijuana without worrying what the leadership thought.

> In the indirect form, initiative sponsors collect signatures and once the signatures are collected, the measure is taken up by the state legislature in their state. The legislature has these options:

> Enact the measure as written in the petition.

> Refuse to act on the measure, in which case it goes on the ballot.

https://ballotpedia.org/Initiated_state_statute

The leadership is not capable of preventing legalization if the salt of the earth is in favor of it.

There's also the issue of it almost certainly being used against those governments that refuse to build it. So any decision not to proceed must consider that it's empowering everyone else.
"In C++ creating variables using the new operator always means that you have a heap variable."

It's hard to make accurate statements about C++ :-) This is not one. Perhaps it would be more correct to say "In C++ a |new| expression is used to construct an object whose lifetime is not necessarily bound to the scope in which it is created" or something like that. It is definitely not true that an object created with |new| is allocated on a heap. It can be placed on the stack, or any place, or maybe not even allocate.
What makes this special versus literally every other case in America?

For example, there are people that have gotten away with driving drunk and killing people. Does that mean we've effectively legalized drunk driving? What kind of twisted logic is it that if we don't prosecute every single illegal immigrant to the absolute full extent that it results in open borders?

Why should people seeking asylum be treated worse than murderers and killers?
You keep comparing developers to architects, doctors, accountants, and lawyers without realizing there's a huge difference between the latter and the former: licensing. That makes all the difference, my friend.
Yeah. It’s what I was thinking throughout most of the article, assuming that the end would be “I lost my job and there was nothing I could do about it“. It’s not like it was a three day thing, I could sort of understand that.

Since they are a contractor, it also seems like perhaps the company that they are actually employed with should be paying them for the contract company’s screwup. That would also probably heavily incentivize the company they actually work for to put pressure on the contractee to fix the issue.

The asylum backlog is 600,000 cases. They are not aslyum seekers, they are trying to take advantage of the backlog since under the earlier process they could just wait for their court date and disappear into the country before that. Asylum requests have gone up over 1000% because this exploit has been figured out and it is now the default method of gaining entry. 83% of the kids aren't even with their parents, they are posing as families. Only 2000 kids out of 12000 are actually with their parents. Kids can be held for upto 20 days maximum during which time they arrange for someone for them to stay with - mostly a family member.

The Mexico visa is a lot cheaper than the whole process to get a US green card. I would not be surprised if this becomes the preferred method for many seeking a life there.
