That tariffs are meaningless. If they are so meaningless, maybe full-blown sanctions should be applied.
I don't have the money to spend on that sort of thing. I do have a dreamer Patreon for the project, but it's all very modest :)

I'll continue iterating on the look though. Here's a more recent demo that shows a bunch of pixel-related improvements:

What's the future goal for this project? Will it ever reach a point where you say "it's done"? I quite like the idea of loading this onto an old laptop I have laying around for the purpose of using it as a distraction free portable editor (if it won't crash and lose everything).

Now that you have networking and a compiler, you could build a "simple" package manager. It could be just a list of supported Git repositories that are downloaded (downloader) and built (gcc), that would at least allow people to write stand-alone applications (no libraries) for your system that others could use.
How exactly do you distinguish new and old scripts? They are all just files from the interpreter’s perspective.
Thanks for the feedback! I do plan on adding it in in an update.
Is this going to lead to a new general image format? What happens with webp? That seemed to have never taken off much because of legacy support.
>>>> community developers requesting access to help were being ignored

>>> This is not true

>> GitHub PRs being ignored seems totally true.

> Sure, and Red Hat being paid for RHEL shipping Dstat for a decade could have helped out. But instead they decided to replace it.

It's one thing to be upset due to a belief that Red Hat/others are at fault, but why lie to make your point?
Even in the 70s most climate scientists were expecting human caused global warming. The cooling thing was more a media phenomenon.

1965 - 1979 there were a total of 7 scientific papers predicting a cooling climate. Compared to 42 predicting human caused global warming (Peterson 2008).
So Venezuela nationalized their petroleum, I think Mexico did something similar. And Iran. I don’t see where those actions have kerbed the export or internal use of petroleum.
Yeah I'm only just starting to absorb the background on this and that fact makes it even more fascinating!
It's a bimodal distribution.

H1B doesn't really have a job market test. You just need to justify it's a job that requires a bachelor's degree and pays whatever the DOL wage data says should be the prevailing wage for that classification. It's not that difficult to game the system by playing around with job level, title and location and getting away with the lowest possible pay. This is basically the business model of staffing agencies and contractors.

It's also being used by many genuine employers looking for talent and highly specialized skills. Cost isn't a concern here as their business model relies on making the best product.
yeah, I bring it around with me, as a portable gaming device. I consider it a mobile platform, plus I have big pockets.

That makes me think of the story of Manna, which predicted something like this. http://marshallbrain.com/manna1.htm
That makes sense.

Now, other than the portability of AWS to Azure to GCP, why do I want this?

Because with CloudFormation I can pull down and put up my “stacks” in layers and this isn’t necessarily the same as API calls (although on the backend maybe it is).
Your use of the term "evil" says a lot about the warped Western perspective. Without diving too deeply into pedantry, it is the West that claims the cognitively dissonant idea that religiosity is subject to the State while also demanding the State act religiosly (just wars, responsibility to protect, etc.). For all the pseudo-commie bluster, China is a Han ethnostate. Lies that benefit the State are just. Brutality that protects the State is just. China has decided that a Muslim population in its borders requires brutality, and this rubs westerners wrong. China has decided that mass surveillance should be open and accepted, and this rubs westerners wrong. But the West is very comfortable with destabilizing Ghadaffi and instigating regional chaos, which was and continues to be incredibly brutal. The West appears to be quite comfortable with mass surveillance so long as nudes abound, food arrives at our doorsteps, and ideologies we collectively find icky are suppressed.

Moralising is a habit of those who lack the strength and/or will to get what they desire through other means. The West dethroned its warriors and elevated its priests; China is dethroning its priests and raising up its warriors. Time will tell which class of leader shall overcome, but history is pretty clear about what kind of societies rise or fall.
As a single data point, I've only played the switch with a TV once or twice, when I was playing with friends.
This would lead to only a single company.

Like I said well upthread, this is a cynical and wrong viewpoint. The real world doesn't operate as an efficient market, doesn't operate over infinite timescales, doesn't have ways to exactly calculate the proftabilitiy of a decision or action.

It is overly cynical, and mostly wrong, to take microeconomics 101 theory and try to apply it to a world that doesn't fit any of the microecon 101 assumptions.

On the other hand, you can make a profit-driven motive argument for practically any action a company takes if you try hard enough, even literally giving money away.

There's currently a 32% selection rate on the H-1B lottery, regardless of whether your application's even eligible or not. The best case (with OPT extensions right after college, not applicable for already-working people; and also assuming selection rates don't further decline) is 69% selection rate after 3 attempts. I don't imagine hundreds of thousands of H-4 holders like those odds.

In London, it does not appear to be treated like something mobile – but in Tokyo it certainly is. You will see kids – mainly boys – huddle together around Switch screens or playing using the wireless wherever you go in suburban Tokyo.
Unless there are plans to expand the H-1B to accept more applications, I don't see how further stressing already overloaded VISA program would help.

Without extra Masters reservation, the odds of getting an H-1B are really low. (25%?), That's about 50% of the population on the H4 that would be unemployed for ~2 years.

What company will tentatively hire an employee until they get an H1B in what could be 3-4 years ?
Yet lawmakers want to take away my plastic straws. Sad.
Considering that 93 percent of the approximately 100,000 H4 spouses are women from India, its clear at whom it is targeted. And the changes in h1b seems to be working as indented.

I mean, let's be honest here: is this really a surprise?

There's a business culture of dishonesty throughout the country that is unprecedented. Their food supply is poisoned by factories that simply don't care about life and only care about money. There have been articles about how cooking oil is recycled from waste, and how fish are fed feces instead of food and packed in ice from polluted waters. Fake milk, fake baby formula, fake eggs for crying out loud. They add poisonous chemicals to pass tests, but those chemicals killed hundreds of pets in the US. And when the FBI went to investigate, the factory has already been burned to the ground to eliminate evidence. My friend worked at Uber and she said that the amount of fraud perpetrated within China was staggering, more than any other country on a per capita basis.

There was an article on HN recently talking about how some Chinese products on Amazon have 40x the safe amount of lead and 30x the safe amount of cadmium in children's products. How does lead and cadmium get into a Spider-man pencil case for fuck's sake?

It's so bad that even Chinese citizens simply don't trust the products made in China. When Chinese citizens go abroad they buy things like baby formula because they know they can't trust Chinese baby formula. It's sickening. I'm teaching my children to completely stay away from cheap Chinese products because we seriously have no way to know if it's safe, and our government has cut funding time and time again so it doesn't have enough resources to test the goods coming in.

It's reprehensible.
I did not. I've used Forestry for over a year. I was not aware of Netlify CMS until shortly after writing my post.
GNU's binutils and GCC have both been ported to Serenity and work right now. So not very far away at all! I got it working properly ~1 month ago, here's a video I posted that day:

(A lot of performance work followed after that recording. There's still a lot to do, but the 30 second compile time is now down to ~2.5 seconds. 80% of the speedup was from implementing DMA disk transfers, and the other 20% from a faster malloc().)
Which are probably made in China.

One great example of this Eve is https://mega.nz - by design their servers never have access to the encryption key for any uploaded file, and files are shared by including said key in the hash of the URL. This is done for perfect legal deniability of any material on the site. As long as you trust Mega to not alter their code (you can defend-in-depth against this with various methods, including running an open-source client), and you send sharing links only to trusted parties, the content of your data cannot be detected.

"Muslims in re-education camps sounds a lot like systematic high-rate incarceration of minorities to me."

This is a beyond troubling bit of moral relativism.

The difference between 'arbitrary incarceration based on ethnicity' - and 'detention based on reasonable likelihood of committing violent crime' is a mile wide.

You're literally comparing the rounding up of an ethnic minority and placement in internment camps, to the fact that there's a higher crime rate in some areas in the US.

FYI nothing in your reference indicates necessarily that there is injustice in the bail system, rather there could be changes to create better outcomes.
They already live here, so they're a wasted resource if they're not allowed to work.
And not to mention dumping radioactive waste into steel/other metal. That's how cadium and lead end up in pencil cases - dump waste into consumer goods, and then ship them to your house.

https://www.seattletimes.com/nation-world/the-growing-global...

"India and China were the top sources of radioactive goods shipped to the U.S. through 2008, according to the Department of Homeland Security. Bartley, a metallurgist who has tracked radioactive contamination since the early 1990s, said there’s no evidence the situation has improved."

It's not just reprehensible. It's down right psychopathic.

Sick.
Disclaimer, I work for Red Hat. That being said...

The big things for our customers isn't just support, it is stability. When you build your systems on RHEL 8 (just released), you will get 10+ years of support and patches for that system. Those changes are all guarenteed to be binary compatible, so the risk of patching ever impacting systems is low. If there is a critical security vulnerability (say Heartbleed in openssl), Red Hat will backport the fix to every supported version of RHEL. That means you get the security fix without (1) having to upgrade the entire openssl dependency and risk breaking something else and (2) without pulling in newer changes that might have their own vulnerabilities.

Going along with the stability, vendors can QA their products against RHEL as a known target.

Last reason for now, if you are in an industry with any kind of compliance requirements, like FIPS, Red Hat jumps through the hoops to get the certification. That makes RHEL the only option in many environments.
Yes, within days.
H.C. Urey — one of the authors of the above-cited publication — (April 29, 1893 – January 5, 1981) was an American physical chemist whose pioneering work on isotopes earned him the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1934 for the discovery of deuterium. Heavy water is a form of water that contains a larger than normal amount of the hydrogen isotope deuterium rather than the common hydrogen-1 isotope.

The real issue is that a couple of companies are abusing the system. None of them are FAANG.

Look at the data here: https://h1bdata.info/topcompanies.php

Don't be alarmed if you don't recognize a good portion of the top companies because they're Indian IT outsourcing/consulting companies that logjam the whole system.

There really isn't that big of a problem with H1Bs. It's a great way for companies to hire additional talent and to keep students that come here for graduate school inside the country where we subsidized their education.

I think we should focus on fixing the abuse first, then lets see where we stabilize, and then do further restrictions. It's too aggressive to curtail legitimate uses of H1B when it's clear that it's being so blatantly abused.
Because the a mega power is using advanced technology to lock up people based on ethnicity by the 100's of thousands is definitely news worthy.
Im conflicted about this - I enjoy the multicultural aspects of my own town (Seattle) but I also sympathise with this idea of having a home culture.
It's the other way, if we consider "family" to be more than a couple. Actual family-oriented people would have a full-time homemaker.
Speak for yourself. I'm not comfortable with mass surveillance. There's little I find intolerably "icky". It's not even the "Communist" in China's Communist Party that I see as evil; I consider myself a democratic socialist. The fact that I live in a flawed society doesn't mean I can't condemn blatant censorship and concentration camps. Honestly, parts of your comment make you sound like a sociopath.
I wonder if this article was inspired by a Blink Health press release? The article positions them as the obvious one to switch to if you still want automatic ordering/delivery and don't want to bother with in-person coupons or a doctor's visit: According to the article:

> "Blink Health, a drug-discount startup that pitches low prices on generic drugs, recently added a men’s health telemedicine offering that undercuts Hims and Roman, charging $6.95 for 10 sildenafil pills and $8.95 for a month’s supply of finasteride."

Except...I just went through their order form for finasteride and noticed that in addition to the charge for the pills there is also a 9.95/month "subscription fee", making the full price (after a first-month discount) "$18.90 per month with auto-refill."

Which is still a BIT cheaper than the other services, but not THAT much cheaper.
Not a meaningful amount of charge from gameplay, I agree. But it could have a "charging mode" where the screen goes off and you just turn the crank for 5-10 minutes to get a substantial charge because it already has the hardware thingie built-in.
train? unsure, the car i was in... maybe 2 other transients?

more nyc subway information than you'll ever need:

- nyc has a globally rare subway in that it is 24hrs

- you need to be sitting up to sleep on the train, if you lie down you can be removed (was so told by a cop when i was first arrested for sleeping on the train that this is 'the law')

- subways run the full length of a track, then back, then swap drivers

- when a driver swaps they have to remove everyone from the train so all transients get up and go across the track to the next train that is waiting to drive off

- the two longest trains: ORANGE(D,1h-1h15m before driver swap), RED(2,1h30m-2h before driver swap)

- meaning you could get about ~1h30m of uninterrupted sleep

- that was until i discovered the L train is driven by software and the conductor is there as a failsafe

- as such there is a different driver procedure and you can run the train back and forth all day all week without being removed, thats eventually how id get 8h+ nights

someone down thread said 480$/mo for tickets, but id rarely pay

> why not more?

i wondered the same thing, its warm, even in winter, and heavily populated, protecting you from assaults

im unsure what percentage of people without places to sleep choose the subway, but there are some options

there are shelters, but after my experiences there: caging you in or out after curfew, once shut a lawlessness among the people, being placed in rooms with territorial long termers, structurally and hygienically questionable building; i decided id rather risk the street

but it was a winter with a foot of snow on the ground so i tried to sleep in a decommissioned subway stop where there were others sleeping but was woken up by the blunt end of a cop's foot

when i explained i thought it was okay to sleep here because i saw others doing the same the cop responded, 'that guys been there 7 years, get the fuck out of here kid'

hostels at the time cost about 30$/nt for a bunk in a room with 40 people, in brooklyn, so out of my price range but once i got a job i would stay in one once a week to take a shower

> how was that allowed to happen?

compassion, human decency, empathy

i jape, though thats why, im guessing, most riders accept it as a reality

but its probably more to do with poorly handling government resources to address the issue that some people need to sleep sitting up on a subway to have a warm place to rest
Both US population and absolute US greenhouse gas emissions have been growing over time. Population has simply grown proportionally faster than emissions. So yes, US emissions per capita have decreased over time, but total US emissions have been rising, and that's what affects climate.

This is undoubtedly shady behavior. dstat is a widely regarded and mature tool. Looking at its repo for 'activity' without context - maybe nothing needs to be changed and its working as designed - is completely disingenious.

Why should repo activity without context be used as an indicator of anything in discussion instead of focusing on what Redhat has done?

This is openly hijacking an open source project by a billion dollar company because it can and makes a mockery of not only open source colloboration culture but basic professional behavior. Has Redhat reached out to the author, made any requests, tried to work out some way forward, offered to pay for the brand name? Cmon this is simply indefensible.
I know it's a contrived example, but it's worth pointing out that using comprehensions to cause side effects is considered by some to be at least unPythonic and at worst an abuse of the construct.

I know this because I wanted to do the same thing and have looked all over for a justification for it. In this case most people seem to agree that the bog standard for loop is the way to go:

psu.enable()

Some people (my boss) will even put it on a single line, so you don't lose much terseness.

I think the rule of thumb is don't use a list comprehension unless you're going to use the list afterwards, else you're wasting an allocation.
What about the possibility that a bad person uses the hammer to build a sarin gas bomb, uses it to destabilize the government, seizes control, and then executes entire races and gene pools? It's all about the consequences, not the probability, so doesn't that make selling a hammer just as wicked?
Yes, but that is kind of the point. The lack of checks and balances tend to lead to totalitarianism.

You arrest the employees if what they did was criminal (which would be the case whether a company is involved or not) and fine the company, or in extreme cases, revoke the company's charter (aka corporate death penalty).

Being able to be imprisoned is not a defining feature of a legal person, this line of argument will get you nowhere.
It would have been much smarter to have spouse visas count towards the H1B quota, while guaranteeing that if one partner is selected in the lottery, the other is picked, too. Right now, if a couple with active careers want to move to the US together, chances are one spouse has to abandon their career for several years and not be allowed to contribute to the economy. Or, the couple will just go elsewhere.
