It seems to me like Google is slowly becoming another one of these huge corporations that one works for simply to simply pay the bills. I mean, sure, it may not be such at this particular moment, but that's what it seems they are heading towards. Though they still have an amazing reputation, I don't buy it anymore.
I think there was an article about someone out bidding the ad placement slots so they could browse in peace, seems like that might work.
Also not being an investor, I agree with your ranking. Even better would be any sort of heavy industry. Elon Musk's stuff (rockets, cars, tunnels) is mighty nice. Refineries, 100-ton forges, container ships, and similar are all more impressive than software.
"then they get sanctions, and abuse is reduced.."

Sure, but how about fixing the deeper issues that caused the problem? I agree H1B works well, but I also think it can be made better. Both statements can be true.
There's a side-effect, however, that's being ignored.

If US companies don't like/trust the talent coming out of US colleges, they should have a stake in improving those programs. But if their solution is just to hire immigrants, it cheats colleges out of feedback from industry.

Colleges really need more practical courses, at least starting in upper years, that set developers up for success in the workforce. How many devs today come out of college needing 3-6 months of learning just the basics? That shouldn't be happening.
because countries look out for their citizens. not everyone in the world. Why not ship the entire population of india and china and all of africa into the US? im sure they'd all like jobs and by your logic they are entitled to it over the citizens of the US.

I hope someone has better advice for you, but in my experience (30+ years programming, 25+ professionally programming) I could not imagine a book that could teach that. I need to have a ‘seen it all before’ feeling and that is usually the case. There is also just really really bad code (100k+ old php, millions of lines of ‘optimized for performance’ Java) which I thrive on not because I saw the structure before, but I saw a lot of code rot and I am efficient in managing/altering it; it is a common reason for people to hire me to consult; they inherited a codebase that makes the team burn out and ask me to come, analyse and explain to the team what to fix to make it less crap.

What did you do before this? Because Java projects are usually overarchitected but so are many OO projects in other languages. Many times it started with a clean design pattern (which was already often a bad idea but it fit) and then got a million things bolted on over time.

Again; hope someone has better advice but it sounds like you got some bad code there and that might or might not be repearable. 100k is not so much, especially in Java, but way too much for a rewrite so personally I would disappear for a week with the codebase to see what can be done and then suggest doing it or, if it turns out really bad and there is no funding/understanding for fixing it, look for another job.
When asked about the social credit system, some of my Chinese friends said they have no idea what that is and looked surprised. Do people here know if this is really not well known or just my friends feigning surprise for whatever reason.
The thing is, I'm actually interested in soliciting suppliers for various things. It would help me out quite a bit if they came to me rather than me to them. I make cheese. I need cheese making supplies. I travel from Japan to Europe once a year I need flight tickets. I'd love to upgrade to slightly bigger seats if I can afford it. Show me some comparison prices against your competition in that area. My bank is driving me crazy but it's the only one I can find that handles forex without charging me an arm and a leg. If you're good on that front, try to upsell me on something else. I'm interested in wet shaving and I need a supplier for products. I need a credit card, but I can't get one normally because I'm not a permanent resident in Japan. I know there are solutions, but I'm not aware of where to look. Various dry food staples are hard to get in the grocery store in the rural area where I live. I could give you a list if it would help. I am likely to travel somewhere in Japan 2-3 times this year for the purpose of visiting an onsen and staying over night in a Japanese style inn. I go to Saitama about 6 times a year to watch baseball and I often want to stay overnight. I'm not sure if it makes sense to stay in a hotel or AirBnB or something else. I need to buy tickets to Disney Sea this summer and I'd like to do it ahead of time if possible.

Seriously, I could (and would) go on for a long time. I have tons of things I'm likely to buy for which I'd love some help. There is a lot of personal information in the above, but all of it is stuff I'm happy for the world to know. There is a lot of other stuff I don't actually want to advertise and I'd rather the two categories didn't get mixed up.
As an immigrant to another country, that's just how it is. It's a risk I accepted the day I decided to pack up and get on the plane.

I'll definitely be upset if things don't work out in my current home, but I'm prepared for the possibility. If anyone out there expects their new country to bend over backwards for them and try to keep them from returning to their old country, they're either not fit for the difficulties they'll inevitably face or they're incredibly wealthy.
To go off your last point, it probably makes the economy more efficient by bringing us closer to a state of perfect information. One might even imagine that a consumer economy with this attribute can have more productivity than another which does not.
Can confirm. Having a temporary handicapped tag enabled me to get to work when otherwise impossible when I had a broken pelvis. No cast, I could walk a very short distance, and I was a young looking guy driving an SUV in downtown SF. I probably looked like everyone's idea of the problem.
Aha, nice, thanks. Let's see, two players per side... not a huge number but probably a big step up from one. Looks like people aren't playing it much; some people suggest it's because that requires a partner.

I would like to see a setup akin to that of Ender Wiggin, with one commander overseeing and recommending overall strategy, and, say, five others managing different areas or groups. That seems like the way to get the best human performance, and might be enough to beat the AIs—at least to nullify chunks of their advantage.
Friendly reminder that not everyone is in a position where they can create pull requests against random projects: they might not have time, or clearance from their company's legal department, or…
I understand; counting bonuses as a regular part of your compensation is dangerous though. While it is a part of your compensation, the employer is fully within their right to reduce or raise this part as much as they see fit.

Getting angry because of this is rather strange. That's precisely what you sign up for with bonuses: "This part is variable and may go up or down."
Based on the US's history, relatively free immigration has made the country as a whole very successful. It's not obvious that citizens should want protectionist immigration policy.

Ok, that’s a good question to raise, but maybe you should move beyond asking the question and try answering it. You could learn about how different shipping methods are used, how they interact, and just how extensive a rail network a country as massive as the US would require to replace roads. You could also consider that withnthe death of those roads, you’d be utterly snuffing out smaller rural communities, which would be too small or too distant from major population centers to justify a massive rail project.

All in all, if you have such a strong proposition about not paying for roads, it seems like you should already know these things. Now, could roads be replaced? Probably, at enormous cost both financial and environmental. Building massive rail networks is not quick or cheap, you’re talking about megatons or steel and iron being welded after all.

I've signed up for amazon prime uk and after some time I've canceled it. But somehow my amazon.com prime was still going and it took 6 months before i noticed. After quite some discussions with support they told me they only return last 3 months and that i should chargeback the rest. So I'm one of the few people who chargedback amazon and lived to tell the tale
Do you imply that working immigrants "screw the citizens"?
If you dig in, a lot of cultures have roots going back centuries. People might be wearing tshirts and jeans everywhere you go, but the way they handle family matters and daily routines is very different.
Well, at least in California, it is outright illegal (from SB-313).

To be honest, promotion is a difficult process in general. I'd like to hear of a company where promotion isn't a 'shit show'. Generally, either companies like to err on the side of 'this is gonna be very difficult, buckle up!' or they promote too many people, which has a number of side effects. That leads to even worse results if you ask me.
At the risk of cementing your conviction of my troll status, I have some civics 101 questions for you. (I also have rocket science questions, but I'll leave that for another day.)

1. At a time when blacks were not citizens of the United States, many people argued that giving blacks basic freedoms would screw the whites that the government represented. I hope we all agree that according to basic human decency 101 that was not a compelling argument.

2. This is true even if it would indeed screw over whites by say pushing down their wages from, oh I don't know, absurdly high to only moderately high.

3. Which freedoms are privileges and which are rights? The freedom to not be a slave, a component of which was working for whomever you wanted, seems to be a right. The freedom to rent an apartment from a willing landlord irrespective of your skin color seems to be a right. But the freedom to work for Oracle for less money than you'd like if I was born in the wrong country seems not to be one. I'd appreciate a civics 101 lesson on why.
Yes, I see your point; slashing base salary is different than not paying a bonus or significantly reducing it. However, the net effect is still the same: employees take home less money, and their estimation of how much they can "expect" to get is thrown off. The change here is actually more insidious, because it takes advantage of the fact that employees don't actually know what the "average" bonus is, so by tweaking it a few percent is unlikely to be noticed by any individual employee.
>parents allowing children to play games unattended with games they themselves have not played to vet?

So, I'm not telling anyone else how to raise their children... but the fact that society has attitudes like this contributed to my own personal decision to not have any children of my own.

Playing every game your child plays seems... really excessive. I know when I was a child in the '80s and '90s, I had a lot of alone time on the computer, and got to explore a lot of things without my parents; I think it was good for me? I mean, unquestionably, it contributed to my income later on, but I think it might have been good for me in other ways, too?

I think it was probably good for my parents, too.

But then, I super want to reiterate that I am not telling others how to raise kids; I've worked with a few people who kept their kid with them almost 24x7, and that was what they wanted. And it seemed to work out ok? I've totally opted out of that whole thing. I'm just saying, I don't expect anyone to be with their kid 24x7.
I thought that is a feature of beast if you have 2 parties want to communicate over an unreliable network.
I uninstalled all Facebook appps but WhatsApp so far - but with recent happenings and announcements around WhatsApp, it needs to go too. Its a bummer, since i always liked it a lot.
Fantastic. I also believe we are slaves to the cars, in such a way that we have become blind to the fact how they destroy our societies and people.

Most people are so used to the cars that they find it hard we would be happier without them, like my dad who grown up in the 50's with the mindset that every man should have a car. Not to mention all the developing countries with a middle class who see it as a step towards happiness (can't blame them though).

The car ia a great invention, and I love to drive them.
Our family does not own a car, but rather a few bikes including a cargo bike which we use to do the shopping including Ikea visits.

It makes me cry a bit of happiness every time I read about this kind of initiatives.
Sorry, I'm not sure I understand this point. Why would I need a different license for this from scratch implementation? What if I want Apache 2.0 as well?

Also, I'm convinced that many many people do have interest in this. Many people were interested in GCC existing in parallel with whatever other compilers were available. Heck, Chris Lattner's Clang wouldn't exist if C and C++ were "protected with patents from patent trolls". Are you saying that all these alternative compilers were a total waste of time?
This is the best course. Unless you really some basic. Highly recommend.
Hopefully the EU sues them - this is unacceptable. Facebook should have never been allowed to buy out its core competition.

You're a carrier of American culture (at least in some superficial way) because you grew up surrounded by Americans. If 500 million people moved here, they would not grow up surrounded by Americans.
I wasn’t trying to bring anything in, simply curious exactly what you meant. You’re right though, if I had read you comment more closely I would have realized my question was irrelevant. Thanks for the link.
Discord breaks accessibility features though, screen readers work awfully in it. It was one of the big arguments against it when rust made an official server there, they spoke with discord about it and it got marginally better, but is still nowhere good enough.
I had already covered most of his point when I noted that the complexity can contribute to correctness, so it came off very emotional. I actually would stand by the view that WPF should've never been created, and WinForms extended. I've never heard a compelling argument to change my mind.

Instead, I'd rather have seen a path that led to just WinForms and UWP today. If you read the link that I provided, the author feels the same. WPF is the most pointless of all three. If you want XAML, there is UWP and it's more useful, and has a better future. It's hard to imagine much of a future at times for even UWP with Electron's popularity and HTML/CSS web interfaces.

It's clear that Microsoft is gearing up for massive Electron optimization with their adoption of Chromium, so that's going to just accelerate as those apps run better and use less battery while doing it.

For me, native GUI might just die with WinForms. I'd hate to see it go, it's always going to remain ideal for internal tools.

Wow, you need to learn how to distinguish between stuff your brain tells you and reality.
I still browse at the library myself occasionally, but ... ddg? Bing? Startpage? Searx?

There are many other search engines as well as other ways to access the google index.

Also, a couple of years ago someone posted a search engine he wrote, which was able to index the internet for ~$200/month hosting costs. Sure, it doesn’t do partial or full javascript eval like google, so it doesn’t index the deeper web. But “laser air breakdown” is likely mostly in plain HTML docs.
Wait, why are you taking what he says at face value? Why is anybody? He doesnt care. He. Does. Not. Care. He's just saying what he needs to, just like anybody else in his position trying to protect his business.
There is something suspect about the rise of corruption in the unions. Back in the 1930's, labor was getting powerful and both starting and winning some big strikes, and communists were a significant part of the labor movement. The capitalist establishment's answer to this was the red squads (See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_Squad). These were branches of local law enforcement operating largely sub-rosa in collaboration with the big employers and even sometimes partially financed by contributions from anti-labor malefactors of great wealth. The strategy adopted by the red squads was (1) that a union run by gangsters was ipso facto far better than one run by someone who could change the status quo in favor of workers, and (2) local law enforcement could benefit substantially from a win-win relationship with organized crime. Corruption of unions became part of the American economy hand-in-hand with corruption of police. When the gangsters struggled with each other for control of a union, law enforcement might be recruited as the tie-breaker, helping whichever thug best understood the needs of the municipal power structure. The working class did not bring this on themselves.
I don't think CoL indeces are relevant because salaries are based on how much value a developer brings to the business.

Suppose you have two jobs: $140k in NYC, and $100k in Dallas. If only one company can get an H1B, IMO it should clearly be the NYC company.

The NYC job will yield higher personal income federal income taxes. Also the NYC job is delivering at least $40k more value to the business than the Dallas job. This additional value again translates to higher corporate federal income tax.

I'm not sure what benefit the federal government has by favoring the $100k job, even though normalized for CoL ($1.5 NYC=$1 Dallas according to one index) the Dallas job is "higher paying".
This also works in pretty much every other browser I know of.
I tried to get the H1B twice, couldn't get it through the lottery, so I had to move out of the US for a year and a half while I was waiting for the green card. The process is so backward.
The salary is a proxy for how valuable a job is to the economy. So sorting by salary effectively awards the visas to arguably the most valuable jobs. Also, federal government maximizes it's tax revenue from the visa holders when the visas are awarded by salary.
I think farmers still occasionally get killed by old WWI ordnance in France when plowing fields. 1400 tons is terrifying.

1, because the Goroutine context switch is Insanely cheap. There's no preempting, the scheduler runs on function calls and the context switches are very cheap - just swapping a few registers I believe. This means a single thread could blow through an enormous amount of goroutines in no time. I know, kernel mode switches are fast, we optimize this all the time, but doing nothing in place of doing something will always be inordinately cheaper.

2, because the Go scheduler has awareness about the state of the goroutines that an OS scheduler would not, so it can make more intelligent decisions about what goroutines to wake up and when.

You can really have pretty much as many goroutines as you want. Hundreds of thousands of OS threads lands you firmly into tweaking kernel settings land. My local thread max on my desktop is just 127009 - that wouldn't fly for a huge machine running many Go apps, which is exactly the kind of circumstance I was in (using Kubernetes, to be exact.)

If you don’t want to read up front, don’t; start with a calculator. If you know regular expressions (and even if you don’t), getting something that handles

a=3
b=4
a=a+b
print a

shouldn’t be too hard. In iteration 1, forget about expressions with more than one operator such as

a=3*b+c

If you think it’s easier, also forget about multi-character identifiers (a…z should be enough for everybody) types (all variables can be int or, if desired, float)

Also, initially forget about making a product that doesn’t crash on invalid input. If a…z is enough for everybody, your toy language may crash on

A=3

or

aa=0

Then, add features as you see fit. You will run into problems, such as questioning whether

print=3
print print

should be a valid program, or whether it’s a good idea if

a=2+3*4
print a

prints ‘20’, but that’s part of the fun (if you have a puzzling mind, figuring out how to do that ‘properly’ without reading about it isn’t out of reach). And those features you add shouldn’t be large. For example, looping:

a=1
@again
print a
a=a+1
>again

add simple if statements:

a=1
@again
print a
a=a+1
if a<20 >again

The end result will likely be buggy in places. For example, if you decide to support

a=3;b=4

and parse by splitting each line on semicolons, adding strings

a=“strings may have semicolons, too;”

may result in an interpreter/compiler that is broken for a while. Who cares? You aren’t building a compiler or interpreter, you’re learning.

Also: start with an interpreter. A compiler isn’t that much harder, but requires you to know about your system’s assembly, object code format, etc.
Lessons Learned from Kaggle’s Airbus Challenge
that’s only for people senior and above. (small amount of people). 99 pct of people reading this would never get to that level. although you are correct that it used to be the case for a lot more people.
You can think it's true all you want. That doesn't make it true. Plenty of people don't know the answers to all those questions and they do great work. Your biases reflect the way you think the world should work, not the way it actually does.
Git was already mentioned as an example, but there is a more generic answer to your question. Look up https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Content-addressable_storage ; the design is basically a DHT. Key collisions are standard feature in any hash table.

In any hash table, collisions are unavoidable. In a distributed KV store, the collision resolution might be done at a higher level, so any lookup reads all the values for a given key. The reason is simple: opportunistic caching. Sometimes you get lucky and are asked for two or more items that hash to the same key within cache expiration window. If you can avoid a read just 0.1% of the time, that's an improvement on tail latency AND it just left capacity available for other clients to do their reads.

We are all aware Spotify stores a lot of media. I know nothing about their internal architecture, but they might use hash of the track metadata as its content key. If assumptions (or "happy optimisations") about their size distribution don't hold, some extra tracks could end up getting through.
This is precisely why tech employees need to negotiate collectively. When your employer is posting record profits, but is lowering compensation, you have a much stronger negotiating position when you work as a team.
Having been through H1B the system is not designed fairly. I tried twice and failed the lottery. So I had to go through a green card process that took a year and a half. Such a waste of time and a lot of moving around countries.
