Not a native speaker, so some grammatical mistakes may elude me. But in general this is pretty much an opinion piece that could be found in any print publication before 2000.

Everything is dramatized of course, but that is pretty much the pre-Internet version of buy-a-magazine-at-the-kiosk bait.

Complete lie?? No. The protests have been mostly peaceful with a few small incidents.

> Letting a demonstration be judged by its most violent participants but not judging a police force by its most violent cops is the language of the oppressor.

Calling them a "few feds' as if they were inconsequential is again disingenious. The problem is not their number but that they are not in uniform, they have no insignia and they kidnap people off the streets. https://www.opb.org/news/article/federal-law-enforcement-unm... The big problem here, of course, is if white supremacists show up in "tacticool" gear and truly kidnap you to murder you then it'd be prudent to resist. But if these goons are actually feds then it'd be prudent not to resist. But you can't tell. Even just four feds behaving like this would be enough to create this unbearable situation. But beyond such practical concerns, this is the tactics of an authoritarian regime. This is why my so many of my friends in Portland joined the protests, this is absolutely not tenable.

I was born behind the Iron Curtain. Our phone was bugged. We knew. I know a ... little ... about authoritarian regimes and secret police.
The time between 5/31 and 6/27 would be characterized as weeks.
Unidentifiable federal officers with no markings on their combat uniforms, who refuse to identify themselves as federal officers when asked, taking protestors by force and driving them away in unmarked rental vans is an unaccountable authoritarian show of force, it is not merely policing.
F1 is how many H1B students (such as myself) started on our road to becoming an immigrant.

A large part of the appeal of an expensive USA graduate course is that it allows you a way to get a job in the USA after.

It works like this in tech. 1) Do a masters or > 1 year course in a relevant field. 2) after the course you have 1-3 years of occupational practical training in that field. This means you can apply and accept any relevant job without waiting for a h1b or anything like that.

Then from there you get your company to apply for a h1b and then convert to a greencard. Then from greencard you go to citizenship. This was my path.

Pressure on universities like this discourages foreign students from enrolling and hence stops or slows this processes.
I agree, just to add in my own words -- it gives you a fresh perspective, as if your staring at the world from the eyes of a tree. But is it really that important for those in power to maintain a certain narrative/perception? These sentences sound too rough..
I just finished watching it ( again, definitely seen it before ).

I can see that people feel bothered by push messages they didn't ask for, but... "political ads"?

Anyone who feels offended by "stop hate, bigotry, racism, antisemitism and calls to violence" needs to urgently figure out where their emotions come from.
I urge everyone to search out longer videos for all of these clips being shown. Every "attack" by the federal agents is preceded by some form of provocation by the protestors-cum-rioters that start by refusing repeated warnings to disperse after the protest has been declared an unlawful (not peaceful) assembly, generally after someone starts destroying property or committing arson. The federal agents can be seen tolerating long periods of harassment and in every instance I've seen where they do respond it is when a protestor crosses the line by striking an agent or engaging in destruction of property. The spin on this information is so heavy it's terrifying.

Fwiw, there are also scholarships.
I would probably resist and get beaten up a bit more by the officers. And then I would be hauled away to jail, read my rights and interrogated, and later have my day in court. Justice is served.

That said, what is and isn't a crime, and the punishment doled out for crimes (like resisting arrest when you are unsure they are police) is worth criticism. I don't think these protestors necessarily deserve felonies. But I haven't really seen people criticizing this; they seem more shocked that officers can enforce law with arrests and riot control.
You are not expected to stay after the visa expires.
I could have written this exact comment. Hits the nail on the head. There is something unique about working in a job, collectively - with other people - on something that imbues your work with purpose. It doesn't feel like if you give up tomorrow, it was all for naught, because someone else will pick up the baton. I have a feeling this communal work is to some degree evolutionarily baked in.
This was a super messy economic era for the US with a shit ton of economic crisis and monetary issues were a big part of the mess, that's why the Fed ended up being created.
It's hard to believe, but I've worked with some managers who actually listened, and they (she in my case) would say, let's work together to build a stronger case next time, I'll help you because you have some strong points here that are clearly not being heard because you are new OR need to polish up your argument and I'll help you. The alpha "better luck battling it out next time" attitude of the TFA's author just speaks for his own surroundings, there are places where people really help each other, managers included.

I myself am a proponent of making Istanbul an international district, de facto ending the Islamic rule there and returning it to its Orthodox Christian roots.
Wouldn't the typical response be too mobilize the National Guard to protect national property and resources? Why is the CBP the ones getting involved here? Police work should be left to police (preferably local), and protection can be supplemented by the appropriate military branch if necessary. DHS and its branches were never meant to police local citizenry. It does seem like overreach.
That is the emergency 'the pilot is dead' system. It's for a passenger to hit a button when the pilot is incapacitated.
Having started with frontend as well because of necessity, I've realized people actually appreciate people with backend background working in frontend. Especially on complex UIs it makes sense to have people who are comfortable building complex features even if all details aren't clear yet. On the other hand, backends profit also from people with frontend-only experience.
In societies that have a duty of care to individuals, I think it's fair to believe people also have a reciprocal responsibility to take reasonable care of themselves.

For example, in theory not wearing a seatbelt is a purely personal decision.

In practice, that decision can have considerable negative externalities - impacting family, friends, emergency and medical personnel and finally the taxpayer (I live in a place with nationalised healthcare), etc etc.

Similar problems play out (statistically if not on a personal basis) with respect to drug use or other risky decisions like going into deep bush or out on the water without adequate precautions.

If there's a reasonable expectation of not being shunned and left to die alone in the event of a mishap, I'd hope that home experimenters would spare a thought for those who will no doubt help care for them and deal with the mess if something goes wrong.

That said, I expect and understand that reasonable people can hold quite different views on where the lines between social responsibility and individual freedom should be drawn.
Certainly anyone violently attacking law enforcement is not a peaceful protestor. But protestors are not a monolithic entity: the vast majority are clearly peaceful.

In a free democracy that values the right to peaceful protest, law enforcement and political leaders have to ask the best way to preserve that essential right for all citizens while keeping the peace. The question I would rhetorically ask—because the answer is fairly obvious—is whether sending poorly trained agents armed with lethal weapons and, apparently, improper instruction on probable cause to "keep the peace" achieves that end.

It's easy—and correct—to condemn acts of violence by protestors. But in a free democracy, we should hold the armed representatives of the people's government to a higher standard than we do a mass of protestors, among whom there are, no doubt, some provocateurs and law breakers.

This isn't an either/or proposition. One need not defend brick-throwers or arsonists in order to condemn arrest-without-probable-cause or the use of "less lethal" munitions against bystanders. That false dichotomy is what authoritarian regimes use to try to justify the wildly inappropriate—and, in the US, illegal—use of force to put down political opposition.

It's kinda like a buy-in.

I am one of those "refugees", although not related to JS specifically. I think the last nudge way Hey releasing which made me consider RoR after all these years.

The motivation on my part is simple - I am getting really tired of microservices everywhere.

I understand why they might make sense in large organizations but the endless splitting of stuff that works (or could work if the energy was invested in fixing existing code) to the point where you have 3-5 services per developer is tiring.

Anyways, ranting aside, I have been learning Rails on the weekends and it's fun, even if there aren't that many job opportunities. If I later end up working in an ecosystem where the majestic monolith is something to aspire to, even better.
This is such a lazy headline and article. For more than 1,000 years, war between Turks and Greeks has been a real possibility. See

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ottoman_Greece and
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seljuk_Empire

My objective is not to defend one side or the other. The article is lazy and shallow. When I read this:

> if Turkey pushes forward with its plans to survey for has in Greece’s exclusive economic zone.

I ask "what is this exclusive economic zone?"

The answer is

The idea of extending Greek waters all the way to the shores of Anatolia is not new https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/0308597X90...

This is an issue that is independent of who is running Turkey. There is no conceivable scenario in which 90% of the population of Turkey would not be against being essentially land-locked by Greece, Israel, and Egypt.

So we've had type hints for a lot of PyTorch in Feb 2019 after working on it since Oct 2018.

I must say that of the 140 or so features and bug-fixes this was the singular most draining thing to work on, mainly from the comments on the bug reports.

But I'm glad if it sparks more joy now.

The shape vs. type is something that many people want, part of the problem is that shapes do depend on inputs. Often on input values (often constant ones) rather than types (convolution padding, "kernel" size in pooling, ...). But you would also need to know the constants from class members. For other bits it's completely unpredictable (like value-based advanced indexing or nonzero or so). So one would really need to be more "dynamic" than the static type annotations (meta-programming).

There is a bug open around that, but I haven't really followed along.

The other part is that I personally think that stubs (pyi) rather than inline type annotations are 1) wrong, because they'll go out of date, 2) ruin the joy. But the Python 2 compat everyone wanted last year kept us using them.
Comments increase compile time!

A visa that grants entry for some purpose on a temporary basis. As opposed to immigrant visas that can be converted to a green card.

After your study is over you're supposed to go home [0]. Generally when applying for a non-immigrant visa you want to show that you have a good reason to go back home. Otherwise you'll probably be denied.

Say I had an F1 and now it's long expired. Have a standard B1/B2 now. If I wish to immigrate to the US this doesn't help me in any way. Other than just being in good standing with them I guess.

[0] or you could get some other visa, but if you're coming in with this intent from the get go this is potentially problematic

Of course there are many other skills involved besides programming, but I don't make the big distinction you apparently do. For example, the part about storing data optimally is going to be handled by the database in most web applications, and using that tool well is a distinct skill set from both front- and back-end programming. Indeed the latter two have far more in common than either has with designing an efficient database or optimising queries that access it, or with designing a good UI for that matter.

At the very top of each field, sure, there will always be those specialists who live and breathe that subject and can do the things no-one else can, but most people will never achieve such proficiency in any field during their career and most businesses will never hire anyone on that level, so I'm not sure it is going to generate much insight to talk about extreme cases. For anything below elite levels, you certainly can have the same person with expert skills in both front- and back-end dev, or in back-end dev and DB admin, or in front-end dev and UI design, or just about any other combination of relevant skills.
Not at liberty to say which Unis, but this is much wider than initially reported. A lot of American universities were affected as well. They are still measuring the fallout, and how best to respond. We were only told last week.
In complex UIs it makes much more sense to have product and design people who are able to simplify it without losing value for customer. Actually, ability to have the same outcome with less hussle is added value. It is manyfold more important with mobile-first experience.
I used to do interviews for pentesters at an old job, and I was suprised as well. I think it's because CyberSecurity is relatively new, so companies have no idea how to hire for it, and end up hiring whoever can talk the best. I interviewed a lot of people with titles like "Senior Cybersecurity Engineer" who had no security knowledge beyond how to run an automated scan against an IP range, and put the findings it printed out into a report for management.

They insist the hackers ‘verifiably’ deleted their copy of the data. I’d like to see how one verifies that ‘all’ copies were destroyed.
Sorry, but that kind of kumbaya, “humanity” eco-religious, can’t-we-all-just-get-along sentiment betrays a superficial grasp of the forces at work in the world. Geopolitically, when the Ottoman Empire fell, so did the caliphate. Nothing since the OE has taken the place of that caliphate (ISIS had made an attempt). The Arab states can’t form that sort of caliphate because there’s too much infighting, so the Turks are the only realistic option from a historical perspective. Secular Turkey is not a stable or long term solution and a century is not a very long time.

All of this is to say that the past century long interlude is actually unusual for the Islamic world so we’re really returning to the historical norm. Islam lost the battle in WWI, but it does not accept having lost the war. It cannot because then it would not be Islam.

The feds have allegedly been arresting people "just" for dressing entirely in black - or at least, that's the narrative the press has been pushing to convince people that this is some kind of totalitarian military occupation. The thing is, the entire point of the Black Bloc tactic of dressing everyone like this is to make it as hard as possible to identify which specific "protestors" tried to burn down the federal courthouse, and which attacked law enforcement officers, and so on - in short, to turn protestors into a monolithic entity where crimes cannnot easily be attributed to any specific individual within the entity.
Thanks for your feedback, very valuable! I'm very much still at the early stages of this project, I decided to go public to get feedback as soon as you could add a card from the chrome extension and then study it.

There is no support for exporting cards, but I have noted it and will consider it in the future. Thanks again for your comment!
Made because I couldn't find a simple, no-sign-up service to sync a list of names for a command line tool. And resubmitted because yesterday I goofed and the curl commands listed didn't point to the right location, which really took the fun out of it.

Favorite part of the project: trying out Phoenix's built in pub sub + live view (the live view subscribes to a data/:id topic, which the api write endpoint publishes to) to get that nice instant update on write if you have the data open in the browser without polling.

It's also fun to see how fast it syncs multiple browser windows watching the same data when you edit it in one window. That's not useful, but I give it 1 "neat".
Not to mention file sizes!

Sending in unidentifiable and unmarked officers who refuse to identify themselves, to take away seemingly randomly selected protestors to undisclosed locations, is a clear authoritarian show of force and scare tactic, worthy of a military dictatorship.

How will you know whether you're being taken by federal officers or a far-right militia? That is a deliberate tactic, to have people live in fear of an unknown fate at the hands of unknown assailants.
They are benefiting from this just as much as you are. Remind your employer that he's also saving money by not having to pay for an expensive office space in the city center and all the things that go with it like hiring cleaning services or building staff. Any equipment you use to work on should be either reimbursed by him or factored into your salary as well (monitor, laptop, internet connection, office chair, desk, etc). There are a lot of bargaining chips, just depends on how you present them.
