I don't really see a problem here.

If you are in a low wage area and feel that your workers are as productive as workers in high wage areas then you can pay them a high enough wage that they get a visa.

If you don't feel that way then obviously the visa should go to a more productive worker and it doesn't matter that they happen to be in a high wage area.
Actually those are some of the more sensible Ruby libraries names - you have a pretty good chance of running `gem install {some-random-noun}` and it being a valid command. An XML parser named after a Japanese saw? Why not. A testing library named after a giant rodent? Even better.

Not that "redux" or "thunk" much better.

this feels like mass cowardice to me. run Debian testing or unstable. run something semi modern. not old lame vendor LTS.

those who cower in LTS land, thinking they are saving themselves from troubles have very very very little experience, scant little too contribute to the community that cares & tries to remain mildly up to date. there is such a prevalent fear based mentality about running decent reasonable modern upstream software but it is such FUD, such a cannot do attitude. rarely can these camps justify their afraid behavior. LTS is nonsense. testing, unstable, they work well, & they expose real honest levels of support for systems, versus relying on antiquated but known support that LTS brings the tepid adopters.
Not the reality at all.

I work in process automation. There are thousands of issues and bugs in our systems that require mindless human activity to work around. Eg- Where our voice rec models fail we have hundreds of people sitting the whole day listening to boring snippets of context less conversation and correcting it. Most hate that work. Where robots malfunction on the line some guy has to just wheel in a new machine and push 2 button. That's all he does. That's what I mean by ppl being used to fill in the gaps. They do it for a few years and end up having no great qualification after the bugs get fixed so they getoved to the next crappy filler job. There is no great dignity to it or satisfaction. And they end up laughing at Obama's speeches abt reskilling cause they know the reality and end up voting for Trump.

I could tell I'd been out of back of the house food service long enough when I no longer put my home sink all the way over, because it was too hot.

(Our dishwasher and washing machines run when we're not at home, so they could run for twice as long and be twice as loud and I wouldn't care.)
That seems like a funky workaround for a problem that shouldn't exist. I have some stuff on Medium, but when I find time to port it over to Bridgetown or similar, I will.
You can compute on any real number you're given, but IIUC that's not what "computability" means. By the cardinality argument above (there are more infinite streams of digits than finite streams of digits, in an important sense) there will exist streams of digits that you cannot produce by any program (regardless of how you encode it).
So I am pretty high on the aphantastic scale (It sounds better when I conjugate it like that).

I don't have a car license, despite growing up driving vehicles on farms and years of trying to get my car license, I can't comfortable drive a car because I cannot hold in my head the physical size and shape of the car. I have a full motorcycle licence and no problem with a bike, but as soon as I step up to a car I just can't estimate distances or space. (This cost a lot of fence posts on farms and could be deadly on a highway).

Navigation I'm mostly fine, because I can remember lists reasonably well. To get from my house to my sisters is left, left, right, left (straight for 30km), right, left, right, left. Do I turn the final right at the 4th or 5th street down the road? I never remember until I'm in the intersection and recognise it.

I've tried a memory palace, and it only works for me with a space I know really well and a limited range. For example the 10 rooms of my house I can use, I've lived here for 15 years. I couldn't use different parts of the rooms because I just can't visualise them. But since I can generally remember short lists pretty easily I don't find a 10 room memory palace helpful.

Lastly I, like most people I suspect, remember songs and rhyme better. Want to know the periodic table? I can sing it at you (Thanks ASAPScience).

The worst part about aphantasia is trying to explain it to someone who hasn't got it. I can recognise my favourite places instantly in a picture, but ask me to describe them and be preparted for a cubist impression. Heaven help anyone who is relying on me to complete a police identikit...

More importantly, the US administration is not trying to solve H1B abuse from the perspective of non-US citizens.
Goal of my comment wasn't sympathy; but to get the facts out there that the current changes do nothing but to worsen the situation.(...not solving the H1B crisis)
How many years do you think is the limit to being temporary and still being honest?

If they were giving 50 year H1B visa that are not guaranteed to be renewed, would you still say that it is the visa holder's fault for bringing their family?

If not for 50 years, then when should we start blaming them? How many years is a reasonable amount to put someone at fault for putting down roots?
Same here. I considered donating but assumed the project was dead because there's nothing to see (nothing easy to find anyway).

If your logic is complex enough, sure. (I mispoke - it won't replace "heavy" logic, but most UI needs aren't heavy) But for many the logic really isn't that complex; they just want reactivity. There's a frustration with needing to roll out a complex build process, JWTs, state management, etc, just to speed things up a bit. This is an alternative to that, in a way that really doesn't differ much from React in terms of speed or reactivity.

For those truly complex UI logic cases, React components are still a tool you can use. The approaches aren't mutually exclusive.
Can you elaborate?

What a weird article.

Semi-supervised training is always interesting, but leading with fact that it outperforms GPT-3 on superGLUE in the few shot setting where GPT-3 isn't training/fine-tuning but PET is.

To make it clear: they finetune PET using synthetic data and then compare the results of this to GPT-3 where GPT-3 is initalized to prepare for querying.

I would like to see how much overlap the synthetic data has with the queries used.

It’s insane because it’s a kludge. The US doesn’t really have a general purpose skilled immigration visa. The H1B visa is a temporary worker visa. There is this whole legal fiction where, when you get one, you have to announce non-immigrant intent with a wink, then once you’re here you say “I just now changed my mind and I want to stay here, can I get a green card.” It was never designed to be a payday to permanent residency, because the grand bargain of the law in the 1960s was that it wouldn’t increase immigration.

They should just repeal the law and design a real point-based permanent immigration system from scratch.
I understand what you're talking about. The interview stage might be upsetting for quite a while but it's over when you find a right company.

Just a reminder that you could create you own company (consulting or product) to exclude hiring interviews and cover letters from your life completely.
Expanding H1B coverage to allow spouses to live and work is just basic human decency.
That applies only to people physically within the US. A non resident alien is someone on a work visa or student visa or other authorization. A resident alien is someone on a green card. Those rules don't apply to people in Canada who pay Canadian taxes(otherwise there would be double taxation).

This isn't strictly true. This is comparing to "GPT3 as a few-shot learner"[1] as opposed to the fine tuned models that everyone else use.

> they'll be closed automatically regardless of whether you closed them or not.

Actually that is not really true. It is defined per html5 spec what is closed automatically when another open node is being parsed.

The <p> element always had a weird flow-root behaviour, that is why it is always closed automatically.

Rather than that iirc mostly form relevant elements are also closed automatically, like optgroup, option, select, input and such.

Additionally it's only table (same problem with flow root) and body, pretty much.

I can understand that a lot of people are confused why that is. But the reason is not the difference of XML vs SGML per se (xhtml will simply break if a p is within a p)... it's the flow root model and the difference in behaviours of layouting that is specified here, not the notation structure.

So SGML was the better choice, to allow all php crapsites that never test their html validity to still run rather than forcing the enduser to (fix?) the xml.

I mean, at some point opera didn't even work on bbcode based forum software(s), so people quickly started abandoning it.

In case it helps, IME many of the smaller shops are looking for folks like yourself offering no nonsense business relationships predicated on skill and professionalism vs "can you sort a list".

I know I am - I've bookmarked your website. I run a small R&D shop specializing in one-of-a-kind projects that typically have very non-standard toolchains. We are good at what we do, but we are not good at frontend work and often need a frontend dev to help us internally market a successful project -- e.g. we can build the best system ever, but if no one can see or feel it, it's always an uphill conversation to explain the value add to someone in the client organization.
Keep in mind that Stimulus Reflex leverages Stimulus, but you don't necessary have to get into Stimulus to get most of the advantages.

I suspect that the framework DHH comes up with will be very similar to Stimulus Reflex, or they may even roll that project into Rails/Stimulus.
I used Anki to remember anything. It worked the best. It solved the purpose.

Then I read Erich Fromm's "To Have or To Be" - and it changed me. It made me question if I was just "having" all that knowledge or really "practicing" it.

It felt good to know lots of interesting facts of chemistry, physics, geography and code. But I just "had" them - never "enjoyed" them.

Will highly recommend the book. For a moment, pause and re-think, why do we need to remember everything?

Sounds like we're in a black hole.
What about the Americans that do get a job, are they all privileged? Sounds like the real reason some Americans dont have a job is either they didn't have the skill or not willing to work for lower wage?

There is a thing called career progression. Many people are underpaid earlier in their career but if they are any good it gets better at some point or they at least still get a low paying job. In software if you are a citizen you have great mobility to job hop and get a huge pay bump until limited by your ability.

Tip to open links on Firefox without the mouse. There's a setting that allow you to start search when you type text.

For instance on this page if you type "look ma" it searches the text, and selects the first occurence, which is the link. You can then press enter and it will open the link. Or ctrl+enter to open in a new tab.

I use it everyday, it's easy and convenient, you don't need to think much ; you simply start typing the some letters of the link you want to open.
I'm an American who worked for a year in India and another few months for a large H1B "WITCH" company in the US. It was an interesting experience, but it took me about 2 weeks to understand how it was not about "best and brightest" but about US multinationals gaming the system to push down wages and use indentured servants.

If it were up to me, I'd set the limit at something like $250K tied to average home prices in the area where the H1B worked. If home prices go up, so must the minimum salary.

This would push wages up rapidly for medium IT and software jobs for Americans, including American blacks, hispanics, etc. who Corporate America pretends to care about while employing 80% Indians in their tech departments.

Google, Apple, and etc. could still pick the cream of the crop from around the world, while all the banks, IT staffing companies, and others making CRUD apps on AWS would be forced to hire and train Americans at higher wages which would push more smart students into the field and out of law, finance, etc.

Companies that play games like opening offices in India or Canada or wherever would eventually be caught by the local cities and states who need that tax revenue more than ever, so I don't fear a huge loss of talent and jobs overseas.

I had a lot of Moomin to read as a child. It's definitely a very different mode of storytelling to a lot of popular contemporary content for children.

The characters aren't exactly pacifist, but they're not superheroes. Their abilities are quite limited, and they have basic human needs. Overarching conflict is usually external, and often not something the characters can do much about.

The joys the characters experience are one of two kinds: the joy of relief (a problem is solved, the danger is past), and the joy of discovery (an eccentric character, a mysterious island, a magic hat). When conflict breaks out, it's usually among children, and then it's the children's job to learn to resolve it peacefully.

I'm sure the books aren't entirely 100% unproblematic, but compared to a lot of popular children's writing today they are quite unique. Tove Jansson's biography makes them even more relevant and humane.
Except that their work isn't dependent on the platform, they can swap nearly instantly between Uber and any other available gig platform since the requirement for all of them is simply to have a car.

Moves like that would be dangerous, because what's stopping the company from moving their office or HQ out of that state or city or even the country to escape taxing of someone that isn't even in the country. And then, forget about the tax on the non existent employees, real local employees could be out of a job.

But I agree that TikTok is yet to prove itself. That said, I think it is an example what is about to come if the USA doesn't close off its market(which will lead to others close off their markets to foreigners and the internet will become balkanised) or break up its current Internet companies situation. Sure, FB and Google will continue to earn an enormous amount of ad money in the years to come just like Nokia continued to sell it's phones until it couldn't anymore.
