What kind of roles in tech industry get EB-1A, apart from management?
idk. I’ve worked with complex python codes and they also tend to have some complex setups like virtualenvs, django manage scripts, required system software, custom python version etc. Thankfully my workplace has this system set up by python experts who maintains all the complex config and documents how colleagues can get this thing running on their machine. At work I don’t need to understand the complex setup, and if I were to write a python project personally, I wouldn’t do it this complex.

A complex front-end code in your workplace should be similar. Hopefully a seasoned front-end developer is maintaining this complexity and if a back-end developer needs to contribute a trivial change, they can just `npm start` (documented in the README.md) which sets in place a whole lot of complexity that the back-end developer doesn’t need to understand, but just works.
It's nice to have a retrospective article like this that kinda post-mortems what happened in pop culture way back then.

The article focuses on hip hop but pop music was swinging towards the grunge era at this time, and there was a focus on authenticity (the article mentions the milli vanilli fiasco).

With In Living Color and Arsenio Hall both calling him fake, he was fucking doomed
Thanks.

For context, as somewhat of an outsider, I knew about Crockford 'JS: The Good Parts' and knew the community cared about working within the limits of a sane "subset" of JS.

A few years later, I hear Typescript is everywhere and JS folks love it. I didn't pay attention to what it really claims to be, but made a connection with the Crockford book, and started mentioning in discussion with acquaintances that it's a subset of JS (it must be because that's what the community wanted).

Lo and behold, one of them heard TS is a "superset", not a subset, and dissed me as a knowledgeable tech person, despite himself knowing so little that barely weeks ago he didn't know the difference between Java and Javascript.

Sorry, I'm done with this mess.
Yes good luck shipping that main.rs to a web browser.

The problem that Webpack solves is performance optimization in addition to what Rust offers:

- writing in a higher-level language: "write modern code and ship to IE 5" is the same as "write in Rust and ship to x64"

- take a bunch of files and make 1 or 2 out of it.

Nobody stops you from loading jQuery and 3 plugins in a script tag and call it a day. Webpack exists because jQuery and 3 plugins can't deliver the same results nowadays.

Also, do you want to improve your code with types and linting? Do that without Webpack, it's not going to be much more efficient.

---

In short, Webpack and Babel basically match the Rust compiler in functionality. If you don't use them, your web app’s code will be harder to manage, not easier. That's all.
No it really isn’t. As you say, clauses can be added before it is signed. Once it is, and the shop is operating, the landlord cannot just rewrite conditions on a whim. What you are really showing is that Apple is worse than a landlord. QED.
I think to work right the jobs guarantee needs to be a temporary guarantee with the aim of upskilling and not purely a "make work" program. Something more like college, though not academic, with built-in accountability mechanisms.

It shouldn't be normalized to be a "lifelong" thing, in the same way we think it's unusual for someone to be a lifelong college student. At least one without milestones such as degrees, etc.
Experiments are used in the scientific method to invalidate hypothesss. I'd say that yes, a simulation is an experiment, since it can do that.
If one is in the majority and is suffering, then there is an opportunity to examine what one is doing, not to mention the environment.

After working at small shops managing frontends with 1-2 other people and then moving to frontends managed by larger numbers and divisions, especially in a culture of moving quickly, things can get hairy quite fast.

Even so, it helps to make a habit of revisiting things from first principles and to also assume the beginner’s mind, collectively, to work towards more refined, elegant, simpler systems/modules based on lessons of the past.

Speaking of “normals”... it used to be normal for most people to be undernourished.
Now, the normal is that the majority of people in many developed countries are overfed.
And overstimulated.

Same with the code we write.

Overfed. Overstimulated.

The dangers of prosperity and excess!

But at least we have the opportunity to focus and sharpen our realities.

... Anyway, back to Webpack.
Webpack is great. It is one such system that went through a lot of growing pains and complexities to get used to, not to mentioned subpar documentation in the early days, but it has evolved gracefully and is quite elegant, and has been for a few years now!

Read the docs, people!

And modern refined tools like Vue CLI, create-react-app, Next.js, and now Vite can take care of most of the “boring” frontend configuration!

No one really needs to struggle with Webpack anymore.
No it doesn't always shutoff.

I had an incident where a customer told me "they spilled some gas". I go out to see ~20 gallons of gasoline on the ground (my best estimate - was a puddle about 16 ft x 6 ft x 1/2 inch deep)".

They were filling a huge motorhome, so it would take a while to fill regardless and they weren't paying attention.

I should have called the fire department, but was a dumb teenager working alone. Threw a few buckets of absorbent on it. It was over 90F that day and windy, so it took 10 min for most of it to evaporate.
An older person we knew in Florida died of a fast moving acute pneumonia on 12/24/2019. Their symptom progression almost exactly matched the severest COVID-19 symptom progression that began being described in February and March. I remember hearing that one of their doctors said it might be a new foreign virus since none of the normal treatments were working.
While not mind blowing, this result is somewhat surprising to me.
So, how does Ivanka Trump's Chinese trademarks play into your theory?

> The Chinese government granted a total of 41 trademarks to companies linked to Ivanka Trump by April of 2019—and the trademarks she applied for after her father became president got approved about 40% faster than those she requested before Donald Trump’s victory in the 2016 election

There are a ton of people doing ad-hoc stuff like this on YouTube if you search for it.

ABX test is definitely the wrong type of test here. It is only really useful for testing if there are differences, and in general a tube amp and a digital sim are not going to sound the same as each other. What I’ve seen as more common is that you’ll have someone playing blind through a selection of digital models and tube amps. If you’re lucky, the digital models and tube amps may be closely matched, but that’s not necessarily the only way you would want to run a test.

There are also an incredible number of different scenarios that need to be taken into account in a simulation, so you’d want to try different styles of amp. Various overdrive scenarios are harder to simulate, broadly speaking.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k6AwTp4ZUm0

Note in this video, the speakers are being simulated for the tube amps. So it’s a bit of an unusual comparison, it’s just something I found.
The article title doesn't really support the graph content, but what's evident is White eating Silver & Black portions.

I know personally I'd never buy a black car. It would get extremely hot, and it looks awful during spring due to a thick layer of pollen.
Above-ground tanks can be appreciably cheaper, mostly due to increased inspection and maintenance requirements for underground tanks due to a history of leakage problems. That said, the price difference isn't big enough to justify the use of space (especially considering setback requirements) in urban environments. You will still find above ground tanks in newer gas stations in rural environments, though.

Two things for me are:

- Do I trust my code to run on a machine where /bin/bash doesn't work?

- Do I trust my users to have their PATH configured correctly?

IME a user misconfiguring ~/.bashrc is about seven million times more likely than some theoretical argument about "portability", or even the idea that running my code on some unspecified version of bash that a mac user accidentally downloaded while screwing up a Homebrew copy/paste command is preferable to using the factory default that everyone has.

The method of fuel metering the car uses does not necessarily have any connection with what octane you should use. It's all about the engine design. If we are going after rules of thumb, I would say that if the car is turbocharged, it will most definitely run better with higher octane. Although my turbo VW can run with regular fuel, it will just change timing and make less power.

I have a 78 Fiat with a carburetor however, that definitely needs 91 or higher.

I didn't get the room temperature superconductor part.
For me, I need webpack to make packs of "configuration set" that's easy to use. Let's say that one of them is react jsx to js "set", bundled with css, style, file and url loader. So for those who want to start with webpack and typescript react, they only need to use that "set", and define only the input/output.
I can only report my own experience, but programming with concepts is definitely better than without, with generic lambdas better than without, with template variadics better than without, with pass-by-move better than without.

It would be lovely to have a more modern language with C++'s capabilities, but no such language is even approaching the horizon. Rust aspires to such a role, but more people pick up C++ each week than have ever coded one line of Rust. Adoption, judging from conference attendance and youtube viewership, is today growing faster than ever.

You may imagine C++ stagnating, but only by abandoning reality. Essentially all of the highest-paid development for the most demanding applications is today done in C++. For reasons.

There are only two kinds of language: those people complain about, and those no one uses. C++ is complained about more than any except Java or Javascript.

I still don't understand what the "fundamental technical limitation is". It seems more like you're making the argument that "an executable format that is universal, transparent, and standardized" is a predicate for getting rid of translation units - which means that it's not a fundamental problem.

Additionally, I don't see how removing translation units precludes multi-language integration.
Low wattage tube amps exist.

There are different ways of calculating octane and that's why they specify the method.
That and decent cameras were immediately out of stock. A $99 Logitech 922 gives a perfectly usable image but you couldn't find one for that price for months, if at all.
Preach.

One can complain that the tools could be better, but not that they exist. They exist because they solve a problem that other platforms don't have: real-time delivery over the web and compatibility with a variety of runtimes.
Water in the gasoline is an issue in stations that have above ground tanks. When the tanks are mostly empty they’re filled with air, and the changing temperature means water condenses out of the air and ends up in the gas. I used to live in a rural area with a gas station known for watery gas; if we wanted to run a chainsaw we’d get gas from farther away to avoid damage.
Low wattage is still too loud for home / apartment. You need something in the milliwatt range, and those are (unfortunately) very rare. They’re not too hard to make but there is some extra expense and there are some patents in that territory.
Committing the package-lock.json file should do this for you: I always upgrade one dependency per commit and I put code changes in separate changes from upgrades. Also, you just have to learn which packages to avoid: react-router, for example, likes incompatible major version updates. Something simple like routedux that’s stable is almost always a better choice.
I'm acquainted with someone that has a job that sounds like what you want. He's at a smaller university, runs a small machine shop, and mostly spends his time trying to creatively fab together whatever the science departments want constructed.
Like a few other commenters here, after seeing how often I would be on camera and being tired of the potato quality of my laptop's built-in camera, I decided to do something about it. $60 worth of lighting recommended by YouTubers + a $7 HDMI to USB capture device off eBay plugged into the Sony RX100 I already had from years ago and now I regularly get people commenting on how good my video looks (bonus: it makes me look better, too).
You're not qualified to make such broad, sexist statements just because you have a husband. Get yourself together and do better.
Another poster mentioned it's a good idea to check your evap canister. Also a good idea to check your evap canister purge and vent solenoid valves. If the vent valve is sticking closed you'll get positive pressure in the fuel tank during fueling that tends to trip the filler shutoff.
Ah, good question.

Alt + 2 gets you 2. If you press 2 by itself, then you get tab.

A similar thing with 3. If you press 3 and release it, you get 3. If you hold 3 and press another key k, then you get Ctrl+k.

This blog post is kind of a playful idea on the iSight. However, if you want to take it seriously, you should consider using the High Quality Camera with the Pi as a USB webcam. The sensor on that HQ camera is HUGE, thus the picture quality is really really good, especially when you take time to figure out the focus and such [1] [2]. It's better than most if not all the webcams you can buy on the market. It's definitely more compact, cheaper, and less hassle than using the whole Mirrorless + HDMI capture-card setup if you want to upgrade your Zoom appearance.

On the software side, I have worked on the exact Pi-as-a-webcam software project for a while [0]. It's quite customizable and you can play with parameters of the camera to further extract values out of the hardware. I also am hoping, in the future, to implement "smart" functions such as auto-panning the camera and such.

However, I still couldn't figure out a good case for it so the setup looks kinda crummy, not as slick as the iSight.

I will say that making digital synths that sound good is an incredibly difficult technical challenge. There are enough mediocre digital synths around that people can get turned off from them. Meanwhile, you can copy some old schematics out of a book somewhere and get something not far from a classic analogue sound. All of the mediocre analogue synths are dead and forgotten.
The lack of consistent indoor plumbing in some non-hyper urban areas might get in the way for me...
It's not formal law, but informal warnings straight from congress and who knows what else privately. Ex: The current investigation into big tech poo-pooing FB's acquisitions of WhatsApp & Instagram, who say that under current law that there isn't anything illegal going on, but maybe we, congress, should make that kind of stuff illegal too.

tl;dr Try parcel

I've had some really horrible experiences with webpack.

When I first started with it, it was daunting. Seriously, just look at the docs, it's pages upon pages of complex behavior. Some of it fairly unintuitive.

It took me days to dive in, get used to it and kind of know what I was doing, and then promptly forget everything about I knew over the months/years.

Everytime I have to dive into the webpack related config, I basically set aside a whole and feel a deep sense of dread. This isn't normal.

Also, Webpack has horrible UX. At first I thought that was because it's complicated and covers a difficult problem space. But then I used parcel, which is leagues better in terms of usability. I absolutely love parcel and think it's so much better overall. Unfortunately, their team is much smaller and much less used so webpack is a couple more features that make it more "stable". Well actually, it goes both ways, but most of the time parcel has some very small error that webpack might not.

Whic is why I basically run both at the same time - parcel for it's speed and ease of use, webpack to catch a lot of errors (like those outputted by ts) that for some reason parcel (1.x at least, I think 2.x is coming soon) doesn't catch.

I've always wished for an external trackpad and keyboard combo in this layout, basically a Macbook without the screen to use with your monitor setup. Reaching to the side for the trackpad frequently seems much slower and less ergonomic. Plus the fixed relative layout of the trackpad and keys helps orient myself.
I read this and enjoyed it, especially the parallels for me as the music producer who found the first popular white girl rapper: "Kreayshawn" and produced her first few tracks ("Bumpin Bumpin", "Gucci Gucci", etc)..

After working with lots of artists over the years I tend to just think of them as instruments in an overall track, and their stories and narrative of the timelines is unreliable at best. I would really have liked more perspective in the story from the music producers POV, as I feel like I got a unique and more objective point of view seeing both the business, personal, public, and artistic side. While many of the rappers are just kind of lifestyle method actors, and as the years go by I wonder about these late stage interviews.

Interesting article though

I don't disagree with your assertion that the article is disingenuous. However,

> "30-40 percent of online purchases are returned" what absolute hoopsla. I've worked in online commerce and this is off by an order of magnitude. A very few segments (e.g. shoes) may approach such return rates.

In the online retail world, a 30-40% return rate is common for apparel (clothes), shoes and accessory purchases. Certain categories, such as occasion (wedding, party, etc) could be significantly higher than 40%.

Take it as a fact that you’ll commonly have higher standards than your audience. This applies to software, actors, musicians, whatever.

That, and your experience affects your performance. It’s easier for an actor to act in a room full of props and other actors, versus a green screen. Easier for a musician to make music with the gear and tone that they prefer.
I wonder what these "performance pitfalls at scale" are, that other languages succeed in avoiding. Normally such an expression would refer to abstraction overhead, but this is where C++ excels. Cache nonlinearities, with pipeline stalls and branch prediction failures, affect all languages. Control of memory footprint is essential to avoiding those, but C++ exceeds others there, too.
