Do you have any benchmark comparisons to support this claim? All I can find in searching are random threads of people saying this, but nobody providing any actual evidence or comparisons.

The few games using OpenGL on Windows I can find show AMD's performance being perfectly competent:

https://www.pcgamer.com/doom-benchmarks-return-vulkan-vs-ope...

https://www.hardocp.com/article/2014/05/21/wolfenstein_new_o...

The nvidia cards were on average a bit faster, but that was true in DX as well. Meaning it wasn't just "lol amd opengl drivers"

And of course Linux testing, where OpenGL is far more common, shows no major disparity, either, which you already know hence the qualifier of "on windows" but that qualifier makes no sense. It's going to be the bulk of the same code between windows & linux for the driver, as has also been rather well tested & verified.

Which gets back to "it's a goddamn 16 year old myth" that literally spawned out of Nvidia's hyper aggressive opengl optimization of Quake 3.
> I am always surprised by people who think they can do what they do in their home country in any other country and get the same results. But it is particularly true of people in the US it seems. If you don't really internalize how the laws, politics, and policies of a country shape what is, and what is not, possible you are setting yourself up to be disappointed.

I don't think this is particularly true of the US in comparison with, say, China. There are people who will blame Chinese nationals or immigrants in the US for behaving incorrectly or irrationally. And there are people here who will blame Americans for not accommodating or understanding the Chinese community. (I'm going to make an unfair generalization: and then there are always Europeans who pipe in to comment without really understanding American race relations, American culture, or Chinese culture. America has its own politics of race, identity, and nationality that have significant differences from the way it works in Europe. Just as I'm liable to go to Europe and, say, make a fool out of myself trying to have a conversation about Catalonia, a European is liable to make a fool out of themselves coming to America and talking about Black Lives Matter.)

Coming back to the original article, I do think these people are mostly just bad entrepreneurs trying to cash in on a fad, or being led by exoticism and memories of 19th century trade rather than an understanding of the market and a sound business plan. It's not some kind of testament to US arrogance, even though that makes a good narrative.
Yes, definitely, it sounds like an O-1 would be a strong option.

I really don't want to live in a world where my moral character is judged by whether some random people on the street think of the right thing when they hear the name of my technical feature.

At one time long ago I worked in IT before moving to another industry that was more who you know and personal rep (interviews were a formality). What sticks out to me here is the number of people who say they were 'escorted out' in the middle of an interview or otherwise had one abruptly terminated.

Beyond the rudeness, it smacks of arrogance. Even if you sense the the person will not be a good match, there are ways of wrapping up a little quicker without being a *bag. And we wonder at the coarseness of our society today.

Different experiences I guess. We do not require a login. You can use the API without a key.

We actually started of with the price. Our goal was to be as low latency as possible. We have all the stats like price, histograms, market cap, etc in there. Most of our infra is keeping number stats on coins and maintaining profiles on them

However, the days of price and marketcap are over. We are seeing that feedback come from larger customers. They want to see code checkins, they want to see what's happening in the different sub-reddits, they want to keep up with what the team is tweeting. All those feeds are important to give you a holistic view of a coin and the market in general.

Anyway, happy to help and share whatever we can. Feel free to drop us a note.

At most use the Bootstrap grid system. Roll your own component styles, particularly if you're trying to sell whatever you're building as a product. Otherwise, your project will lack identity. I'm more sensitive to it than most because of my background, but if I see an app using Bootstrap defaults, it negatively affects my opinion.

That said, the Bootstrap 4 defaults are much more modern looking than Bootstrap 3's.

The US being a bad actor doesn't have any bearing on the the bad acting of China, which is being discussed here.
Let's take your own reasoning and let's apply it and see where the numbers fall.

The Bart cost was $1.586 billion (according to Wikipedia) or around ~$10 billion of today's dollars.

Let say that back then we had put that money ($1.586 billion) into an annuity in perpetuity and given the money each years to the riders so they will find alternative means of transport.

So if instead of building bart back in the 70's we had put the money into a perpetual annuity, we would be receiving the sum of $63.5 millions a year from the annuity (your own numbers seem to indicate a 4% yield). That is less than 50 cents per ride (according to Wikipedia Bart gives 129 million rides a year).

I don't think the cost is insignificant compared with the level of economic activity that the 400.0000 daily riders generate for SF and the Bay Area in general.

And now imagine 20 years from now how much $63.5 millions a year will buy you compared with the benefits of mass transportation.
ES6 supports classes, so it would be the same thing.

They are probably just bad interviewers, or the company really doesn't know what it wants. Esoteric knowledge questions are a warning signal that you probably don't want to work there.

Some kind of accreditation for software would save our industry so much time. It's crazy how many hours we spend asking and answering the same basic questions over and over. Imagine if we could focus on the important stuff in interviews!
Just want to second this. Cquery can be finicky to get working, especially if your project involves precompiled headers (I've found that building cquery from source myself and ensuring that it's linked against the same version of libclang as the clang I'm using for compilation helps).

But once it's working, cquery is an absolute game changer for C++ development. It feels like a completely different activity than it did before.
Whats thw crazyest thing ur goats have eaten? (2012)
This is very good. Someone who really knows taking a chunk of time to give authoritative answers to questions on a topic that a bunch of people really need answers to? This is HN at its best.
Markets just don't work that way in my experience, they evolve, they change, and if you box them in they die.

But with enough money and power, you can convince yourself it's working on a temporary basis, until the market distortions make things suck enough, something has to break or change.

If you don't really internalize how the laws, politics, and policies of a country shape what is, and what is not possible, you are setting yourself up to be disappointed.

Don't forget culture.
Two that come to mind: Microsoft's "Seller dashboard" for managing Office 365 extensions, and Google's "Cloud Platform" console for managing their services. Also, Apple's "iTunesConnect" is pretty glitchy unless you use Safari (and probably Chrome too). I guess you can see a clear reason why each of those pages behaves like so :).

Edit to add that I prefer Firefox in general for philosophical and practical reasons: I'm used to the dev tools and have a hard time navigating the Chrome/Safari alternatives, not to mention Edge/Explorer.

> Mirrors have long been a thorn in automakers side when it comes to aerodynamics.

Formula 1 still uses everyday side view mirrors. Those cars are at the pinnacle of technology and engineering. So if there was ever a case to decrease the drag coefficient F1 cars would be the place.

I just don't think side mirrors contribute that much to be worth replacing them with a camera based system.
When I was a younger developer, I did an interview for a contractor and while the candidate was okay, I wasn't convinced (basically he hadn't shown any reason NOT to hire him, but he hadn't put himself in the MUST HIRE category). In follow-up I told the person I was worried by their lack of experience but would move forward with an offer, but I wanted to let them know in advance that I'd quickly move to let them go if it wasn't working.

In my mind this was a great solution: we got to make the hire, he had a chance to prove himself, and we'd not get stuck with a bad match if he had flaws. By letting him know in advance I was ethically clear because he would enter into the situation with his eyes open. He turned it down and my boss was furious with me for saying all that.

Now, some 15 years later, I realize how terrible my view was and how many bullets I blindly dodged. My best managers have all bent over backwards to make a problematic hire work out. Seeing that has always served as a soothing presence on my own occasional anxiety. And in the many interviews I've conducted, people that fall in the "I don't see why NOT to hire them" have outnumbered the "We should totally hire them" about 4:1. Frankly, the interview process is inadequate to give you a good impression of working with someone and their strengths/weaknesses. Heck, I routinely discover new surprises about co-workers after working with them for years.

My past self had been pining for an easy way to fire someone in order to dodge responsibility for the hiring decision. Now I see the hiring decision as not "are they great?" but instead "will I be able to work something out if they aren't great?" because we can't dodge the responsibility nor can we actually reliably be correct in our evaluations.

Unfortunately, my current view doesn't seem to match current hiring practices, where they want everyone to hit the ground running and magically resolve problems that are generally caused by non-technical issues (low staffing, contradictory customer pressures, etc).

I use Wagtail CMS for my sites. It’s the best CMS I have found so far. It’s built on Django. Instead of looking for plugins you just integrate with other services with Python libraries or standard REST calls.

It has something similar to Gutenburg’s block based content editor called Streamfield. Which makes it easier to theme rich content compared to rich text editors. Craft CMS has something similar.

One thing that is missing in Django though is asset digests you find in Rails - anytime an asset like an image updates it should give it a new name so it’s not served by the cache.
I love how billboards (which are essentially banned in Maine) add to the major roads. I love seeing giant ads slapped on the side of buildings, reminding me that the second season of 13 reasons why is now on Netflix. I love seeing advertisements for SaaS companies. It makes me feel like I'm in civilization, and it reminds me of my childhood in Peru.
A lot of comments on HN could probably be turned into blog posts by their authors.

I think that's what my blog will be: elaborations on comments I have about HN articles.
Occam's razor is a heuristic used in the investigative process, not a principle. While it's fair to point out that a theory makes everything more complicated and thus might make it less likely to be sound, it's not fair to push back on the first bit of research into a theory because they haven't had the time to fully develop it.

Indeed, a scientific revolution generally starts by treating as false an assumption previously held as true. Not to say that this is a revolution, but if you push back too hard it won't be, whether it's true or not.
I'd argue that this wasn't "managing the market", it was dropping suicidal economic policies that kept the entire population in serfdom. The state actually gave up a huge amount of control in the process (relative to the status quo circa 1970). It's still much more "managed" than other developed nations, but vastly less so than under Mao.
This article also gives a readable background and summary of the problem and theory: https://www.nzherald.co.nz/world/news/article.cfm?c_id=2&obj...
It's easy to criticize China's handling of culturally incompatible indigenous peoples when your own are either dead or accepted their place in a depressing reservation. From China's perspective, their heavy handed tactics are the only thing preventing the region from falling into civil war.
I remember that writing style from Amiga magazines too! But back then I was reading them for fun as a young hobbyist. It grates a little, reading that style now when looking for industry news. Worse still when sharing their stories as a reliable source of tech news..
Upon further thought, there's probably a useful distinction to be made here. Let's take the classical untyped lambda calculus as a canonical untyped language. Every value is a lambda, so there is clearly only one type, and no deeper structure at play.

Now contrast with something like Scheme or JS. Clearly there is richer underlying structure than mere lambdas, but since every value is still interchangeable (a global sum type) I think this suggests a "unityped" label as a meaningful distinction from the untyped case.

So I would amend my original comment to move the lambda calculus out of unityped and into untyped, and possibly Tcl as well since everything is conceptually a string there.
Both AS/400 and System/370 have a so called language environments.

And yes I call them mainframes, because it is as I always heard people referring to them during my Summer job back in the day, so the name stuck with me even it isn't correct.
VSCode with WSL with Nginx & PHP 7.1 only has one issue currently. A bug with fastcgi buffering which I have documented here: https://github.com/Microsoft/WSL/issues/3687

Yes. It's a little bit slower but for development local environments it really does not matter.

I actually set this up for the Windows devs at work but I still use a 2014 MBP.

Our ionic app though is a huge pain in the ass that requires Visual Studio to setup a decent dev environment in native windows.
What do you mean? I imagine the driver was sleeping with the hands on the wheel.

IMO this systems that work for 99% of cases but stil require 100% driver attention are dangerous and it should include as much software and hardware to make sure the human is paying attention and not sleeping or watching movies

One, I think your using a throwaway account is telling.

Two, I think your analogy is ridiculous. He was dressed perfectly well for the environment.

Three, he was not "visually distinct"; the skin albedo of African-Americans is of a similar range to South Asians. He was racially distinct.

Four, if you don't have any idea why there are fewer black people in high status jobs in America, let me suggest you read some history and sociology. This is a well-studied topic. Just in this thread I've mentioned four different books, any one of which would be a good starting point for you.
The continuation of the system you mention still exists today, and is the main channel of scientific discourse. I think it is a better channel to use when challenging someone's work.

Yea, parent comment is definitely a but of revisionist history. I stayed with Firefox longer than most, but the performance gap just became so massive that I really couldn't justify remaining on it. This was back when smartphones themselves were pretty new, let alone during android's dominance
Really, I wouldn't recommend that theoretical approach at all to a backend engineer who wants practical tips for their side projects. I'd say something like:

- Learn to use bootstrap (or whatever the most highly-thought of equivalent batteries-included CSS framework is)

- Don't be scared of modern JS. Work through the tutorial on webpack: https://webpack.js.org/guides/getting-started/ And figure out how to incorporate it into your projects development work flow. Then you'll be able to write in modern JS and take your pick of JS frameworks to use if you want.

- Don't be distracted by all the blog posts.

Hello Peter,

Thank you for keep on doing this on periodic basis.

Two questions:

1. Any likely / impending changes (more demanding requirements, etc.) in law affecting the process from H1B to GC under current administration?

2. Any likely / impending changes (tighter restrictions, etc.) in the law affecting the process from GC to citizenship under current administration?

Thank you.
Yes, you should have heeded the warnings against that. The article also mentions this in passing. You can get at Windows files from WSL, but don't do it the other way round.
I (and a lot of others) call this "word vomit", and it's definitely very helpful.

I do something similar with code, "code vomit" (how creative). Do whatever it takes to get the damn thing working, then go back over it and apply as many good coding principles as you can.

I'm not sure why this is getting downvoted. Those skeptical should watch this recent lecture from Dr. Robin DiAngelo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=45ey4jgoxeU

> If you go to any other developed nation like France, Switzerland or Canada, you won't be able to do business as it pleases you, you need to follow the local political rules.

No, you will need to follow actual laws, as both France and Switzerland are very "rule of law" countries. This actually makes doing business there much easier, because the rules are clearly defined and the same for everyone.

In China, the rule book is ambiguous and anyways, enforcement is very selective (they will get you on something if they want to). A textbook example of a "rule by law" country.
I'm not a physicist, just an interested bystander but some of these arguments don't seem to hold water to me:

> There’s a more general point to be made here. The primary reason that we use dark matter and dark energy to explain cosmological observations is that they are simple.

> A creation term is basically a magic fix by which you can explain everything and anything.

Dark matter is an unknown 'substance' that interacts only through gravity (weakly) and must have a very specific and complex distribution in the universe to 'work'. That strikes me as neither 'simple' nor much different than tossing a constant into an equation to make it work. Similarly Dark Energy is an unknown form of energy that in uniformly distributed through the universe, which to me is just a fancy way of saying "we added a constant to make it work". In both cases I don't see how either are implicitly better than adding a 'creation term'.

I'm pretty proud of how I got rejected from Google, how I laid into several of their products as bad and slow and missing important features. Now that they've incorporated most of my feedback into those products I go around and brag about how mad everyone got when I dared to criticize the holy Google during the interview.
Most companies, even the best do this.
