Accreditation just acts as another "has a college degree" filter. There is already a proliferation of certifications that people can attain if they wish, that may or may not help them in specific instances that try to "give you a minimum level of knowledge", but really that just means the questions you get asked assume you know that - ie they are harder and incorporate your algorithm knowledge, instead of specifically saying "code bubble sort". I don't think that's any better to be honest.
I interpret his tone as one of respect. From everything I have heard and read about the man, he was worthy of respect. I don’t think it’s a bad thing to respect the opinion of people you work for, and to feel proud when they like your ideas.

I think it’s a mistake to think that everyone in a company is on the same playing field, that everyone is equal (not on a human level, but a company level). Companies have leaders, and leaders are in charge. You either accept that and work for them, or you start your own company and you become the leader.

When you accept a job working for someone else, you also accept that you are not in charge.
I’m seeing the same behavior on my Mac. Linux is fine. I’d be happy to help / run profiling / whatever. Contact should be in my profile.
Maybe this is too off topic for here but I have always wondered why people are so angry at Anti-Vaxx people?

Yes... the compromise our Herd Immunity, but don't they also serve as a "Canary in The Coal Mine", risking their own health so that the human genome can keep battling with and evolving natural defenses against disease?

Continuing to improve artificial meat (e.g. Impossible Burgers) to get to the point where it's better than the real thing. You don't change people's minds by taking things away from them. You give them a better substitute.
most shops and private facilities have motion activated video to reduce storage volumes. There is a massive variance in how good they are at actually turning on and recording given some movement.

Really like development with Flutter. It has an excellent developers UX.

Suspect it will continue to gain momentum. Saw that it already had over 40k stars on GitHub.
But it would be seen as a "tax" to the corn producers, beef eaters, sugar water drinkers, car owners, and probably a load of other groups who benefit from the artificially cheap price.

Regarding your first question, unfortunately, that's not unusual and nothing can be done other than wait. Regarding your second question, there's definitely risk associated with changing jobs before the petition is approved in the current environment but still, as a general rule, strong H-1B petitions are getting approved.

Yes, if the parts are small and don't need much finishing ... that just might fly. Good luck with that I hope it works for you.

Off the shelf electronics are good for some things ... not so much for others.

No (although I'd still go anyway!)
I might be getting too old, because I truly don't get the benefit of doing this... Nobody I know really cares about portability, and I don't see how running nginx with WASM is in any way better than running it directly on the system. Does anyone care to ELI5 for me?
For me, trying to put myself in the mind of an aspiring/learning electronics hacker -- yes. I want to rummage through bins. I want to touch the components. I don't want to stare at a computer screen trying to conjure up the proper search terms to find what I'm looking for.

Does anyone know how to link in native OpenGL system libraries? I'm looking to link to native graphics libraries so that I don't have to pass through Emscripten's OpenGL -> WebGL emulation layer. I'd like to drop the browser render layer all together and just have GLFW or SDL take care of rendering native client windows.
Can you help me with the filing, etc., or recommend someone who could? As a start, I would just need a more detailed calculation of the timeline, looking at my travel dates, etc. I could do the latter myself also if I have enough information. Thanks.

In case the request for extension of reentry permit gets denied, by when would I know. I presume at that point, I would be able to relocate to the US and then proceed with US citizenship filing.

Also, once moved back to the US, during this period, including the first 90 days, can I make short international trips? (I'm asking this again for clarification since I'll definitely need business trips outside the US.)
It sounds like you are applying cold and going through the process used to filter the unwashed masses (e.g. new bootcamp grads, college grads, career changers with no network, fakers of all stripes). There are some diamonds in the rough there but it's no surprise they put that candidate population through the ringer to make sure they don't waste their engineering staff's time screening duds.

If you've been working for a while it's much more efficient to get jobs through your personal network. I have about 4.5 years of industry experience and was able to skip directly to the final round onsite with a couple companies where I have close friends/former colleagues trying to recruit me. I just started a new job with desireable BigCo that I got this way. Unless you are specifically passionate about getting in with a specific company to work on a specific product, you're much better off focusing your energy on companies where you know people who will vouch for you.
>A lower subsidy on corn would significantly raise beef prices relative to chicken,

We export roughly 40% of our corn in the US, it wouldn't increase beef prices prices much, it'd reduce exports though.
Also would love to discuss the tools you use.

"- No, you can't just "fork Chromium" if you don't like the way Google is running the project. Web developers will still make their website work well with whatever Google releases, regardless of standards."

Hah, even compiling Chromium takes a huge amount of effort and a workday or so of time. Don't think I'd want to go spelunking through that codebase
Valve Releases Steam Link Beta for Raspberry Pi

Probably the former, but just in case, the e1 visa is a good option for anyone abroad who mainly sells to the us.

It's for companies with more than 50% of their trade in the US. You can get a visa with that to do business in the US. Mentioning for anyone reading who may be in a similar situation.

"and the agricultural capital of the state"

We Sacramentans would object to that. We wouldn't adopt some silly slogan about being the world's "Farm-to-Fork Capital" otherwise.

Granted, Sacramento's already the actual capital, so I'm fine with letting them have this one.
It'd be nice if we never felt negative feelings about these things, but feeling nothing in this situation is probably diagnostic of a psychiatric disorder.

If you're personally rejected by a group you wanted to join, you should probably feel bad.
I am not a doctor, but my understanding is there is a small bug significant number of people who cannot get certain vaccines due to e.g. immune system issues. "Herd Immunity" through a highly-immunized population generally protects these people because there are fewer reservoirs for a given disease.

Edit: The reason people are mad at anti-vaxxers: their foolishness directly impacts the welfare of some already unfortunate folks.

Though the hardware requirement is actually NVIDIA desktop hardware on Windows 10, i.e. laptops are currently excluded. Which is implemented by checking if your computer has a battery.
All EPYC cpus support 8 memory channels, and the full set of PCI-E lanes. AMD has chosen to segment the market so that every CPU plugged into every existing SP3 MB can make full use of all it's features.

This CPU has 4 dies, each of which have 2 CCX, each of which have 2 cores and 8MB of cache.
I wish there was one that would actually count. For Example if you pass the boards its a pretty rigorous test and they won't be asking you what the krebs cycle is.

I use Windows for development at work (semi-voluntarily - our Windows support was getting neglected because most developers choose to use run macOS or Linux), and I've been getting pretty fed up with how slow it is. And it's not just filesystem performance; process creation and terminal output are horrendously slow as well.

The only redeeming thing about development on Windows is that Linux doesn't have any debuggers that are as good/usable as Visual Studio.
Aaah, I see where you are coming from. Yes, that is a good point.

Porting a compiler could still be useful for the sake of legacy code though.

> When Jobs heard it was Carmack he said it was fine.

That seems less like the kind of "aura of reverence" you're talking about, and more like a respect for another creative person who makes carefully-considered choices (and perhaps a knowledge that most people in the audience for the demo know the artist and also respect them.)

Even if you don't agree with someone's tastes, if those tastes are a coherent part of a polished work, and you value the work itself, then you'll tend to let your aesthetic disagreement slide.

For a different concrete example: when the average movie director puts a weird sex thing in their movie, it sticks out in a way that makes you wonder whether they have a fetish and wanted to indulge it—and that breaks the verisimilitude of the work, lessening its impact. If, on the other hand, a director like David Lynch puts a weird sex thing in their movie, it's usually a critical element that fits the tone of the work, and doesn't break verisimilitude at all. It doesn't really matter whether David Lynch likes a given weird sex thing; it would still be a part of the work even if he didn't, because it belongs there.

Blood belongs in Carmack's games, in a way that means you'll tend to appreciate the bloodiness for its contribution to the overall tone of the game, even if you don't like blood.

Use Sendfile and if that's not enough try netmap or ddpk, why would I want to run Nginx in kernel space?
Quite a few years back I got a book from a friend, summarizing new and noteworthy changes in Windows 95 (you could make a good drinking game from it if you took a sip each time you encountered the expression "32-bit", it was all the rage). The registry was indeed intended to serve as a central storage for configuration, replacing .ini files scattered all over the system.
Disappointed. I was expecting at least some screenshots.

For a lot of poor Africans this isn't a problem.
The same should be said of the online advertising industry.
Exactly that. Some vendors have only just got rid of SSLv3 in financial services as well. It’s slightly scary.
The TCEC GPU overheated during the games, without anyone knowing until later. Then they underclocked it dramatically, as there was poor to no cooling in the datacenter they rented it from.

That reason alone, if I were Deepmind, I would not be included in those competitions. It would be horrible press for them, that would involve a ton of human error out of their control.
Honestly I'm not sure that it's worth the money to use an attorney because both the reentry permit and naturalization applications are easy. If you still want help, email me and I'll refer you to some good immigration attorneys in your area.
On another point, I wonder how it worked from a visa perspective.

My understanding is working for your day job from another country can be tolerated, but it's usually outside of the law in most countries if you are on a regular tourist visa. So having a business resolving around that seems careless, as your customers might be subject to jail time and deportation. Think about it, it makes sense that this is not allowed, it will be way too easy to evade immigration laws if that was allowed on a massive scale.
Because they aren’t the canaries at all. Instead they volunteer their kids (and the kids who interact with their kids) as the canaries.

I understand there is some overlap and some divergence between the perils of poor privacy practices and pervasive facial recognition, but doesn't addressing the former help with the latter somewhat?

It might seem like I'm trying be on the side of the perfect against the good, but there is room for both efforts without stifling either. A holistic approach to privacy in general would help inform the values necessary towards the responsible use of facial recognition technology.
I'm still very unclear on a legitimate use case for this, and personally wouldn't do it until I had a good reason.

That said, a couple ideas on how to implement:

* Use an alternate domain, eg `insecure.domain.com`

* Use an alternate path prefix, eg `domain.com/insecure/` -- your app would have to be able to handle this

* Use a parameter that sets a cookie that your load balancer/reverse proxy can understand, eg, `http://domain.com/?https=false`, and will prevent redirect -- definitely the most complex from the proxy point-of-view, but means the URL (other than the scheme) is consistent for both types of user
Firefox became popular by copying Opera to the extent that right now one of the reasons I use it, is because it feels more like Opera 12 than the modern Opera ever could.

If Fresno, Bakersfield, etc. weren't included as stops, then those rural legislators would be entirely rational in scuttling said deal, given that it'd be a massive expenditure with exactly zero benefit to their constituents.
I would say no to both and even less likely with the new Congress.
Anti-vaxxers threaten the lives of not only their own children but the lives of others. There are people that legitimately cannot be vaccinated due to deadly allergies or reactions and the selfish behavior of parents who refuse to vaccinate their children puts them at severe risk. Herd immunity is important to protect people that have no other option and when people compromise it for the sake of perpetuated lies it results in disaster.
Definitely seems like sort of a scam to me... I mean why wouldn't I just use all the vacation time? The company would use all of my hours working if they could...

I'd rather things be straight forward to be honest.
When Valve announced the cancelation of the Steam Link I was fairly sad as I thought it was an amazing device that got a lot of use in our house.

Seeing the release of this it makes more sense. I cannot imagine they were making much money on the Steam Link's.

If a new company files for a H1B application in the next few months for me, will I be able to start working for them right away or will I need to wait many months for processing (since premium processing is not available anymore)?
10 years ago WSL didn't even exist.

Also, Ruby on Windows has always been an afterthought with a lot of dumb bugs, incomprehensible setup requirements, and terrible performance. Ruby is the biggest reason I use WSL today.
Convince people that ground beef (and chicken for that matter) that's made up partially of plants (probably soy) is more upscale than just ground beef.

People have been socially/culturally conditioned to think that meat that's not all meat is inferior (because it often is/was). If you can get over the culture/perception hurdle most people won't really care that ground beef is only beef so long as their taco or McDouble tastes the way they want. The health angle is probably the best way to go about doing this.
People are angry at them because the herd-immunity they are compromising is the only thing keeping certain members of our population alive and healthy. There are some people who, for various reasons, CANNOT receive vaccinations. Not WILL not, or DO not, but CANNOT. When herd-immunity is compromised it's not just the anti-vaxxers children's lives that are at risk, it's everyone who doesn't GET the choice to vaccinate or not that are more vulnerable to disease since it can now spread through the population more easily.
> A lot of engineers have the mentality of "engineering is hard, but design is just whatever some color matching and styling".

This mentality died over a decade ago, especially given the rise of Apple and the mainstream awareness of Jobs as a design guru
extending the landing legs will reduce roll rate for exactly the same reason a figure skater slows down when they extend their arms: roll axis moment of inertia goes up.
Why do you think $1500 for a 16 core part is giving it away? There was a time not long ago where $1500 for an intel xeon was a solidly high-end part. This part is really nice, but it looks pretty low end when compared with dual socket machines with 128 cores.

Its likely AMD is making a healthy profit on it and has an estimate about how much of the market they are going to gain by significantly undercutting intel vs the profits per part. AKA if knocking 10-20% off their proffit increases their market by 30-40% its a no-brainer.

Well I'm not saying to become a typography expert, but it's important to understand how font types relate to each other and how to increase clarity based on the context. For instance, print vs slides vs web page, or a little bit of content vs some heavy content could probably be improved with different fonts. Also, even if people don't notice it, the typeface/font is part of the branding and it creates different experiences. I.e. it makes something look more friendly or serious.
Not just privacy. When Chrome came out it could literally spank Firefox' ass in speed; there was absolutely no contest then. But over time Chrome became bigger and bigger while the folks at Mozilla optimized FF code so that today the latest Firefox can outperform the latest Chrome while still being more trustworthy privacy wise.
To me as of today there's not a single reason to use Chrome over Firefox, and users should also avoid using products requiring Chrome; just remember what became of the Internet when web developers started making sites that required IE to work.

I am currently based out of India. I used to live in the bay area when in the US.

That's right, there are alternative avenues to getting a certificate of citizenship or passport (although they require a good bit of information and documentation).
It’s not just that. Some vaccines are less than 100% effective. When everyone is vaccinated, the disease generally doesn’t spread. When enough people aren’t vaccinated, the disease can spread to some fraction of vaccinated people as well.
