H1-B is dual intent - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dual_intent so there is no winking required. H1-B can last for 6 years (can be extended beyond that too but let's not get into that) and I think 6 years should be enough for one to get the GC.

But otherwise I agree with rest of your points.
I have no real knowledge or affinity towards him or his band but I do realize he is a member of a dying breed of rock stars.

How is that any different then "and show them also some programming"?
I think you got the wrong takeaway here. It's not about Logo and Perl specifically, it's about making sure that whatever you do, it's enjoyable for the kids. For some that's math, for others it's graphics, for others it's "hacking". Whatever works for one, isn't guaranteed to work for the others.

Just as for some, Perl is pleasure, for others, Perl is pain.
The duty and role of a government is to act in the best interest of their citizens which that government represents.

The interests of outsiders are simply not relevant to that - they have their own government to represent their interests, which can and should enact policies that benefit them, and negotiate in international agreements policies that will help their citizens. If it's a win-win situation (which is the expected situation for skilled immigration visas) then sure, we should look at how the incentives are aligned; but when it's a tradeoff between the interests of your citizens and foreigners, then the government is elected to ensure that the interests of their citizens are facilitated - if need be, at the expense of others, to whom the government has no inherent duty whatsoever except the voluntarily undertaken commitments to certain international treaties. And if the government is implementing some policies that hurt their citizens to benefit others (which it may well do for all kinds of reasons - e.g. governments do humanitarian aid, which costs your citizens and benefits others, but presumably with support from the voters/taxpayers), then that has to happen due to the choice and consent of these citizens, otherwise they have all right to replace the government with something that will act as the citizens desire.

Evil Types of Dark UX Patterns
I‘m a bit exacarrating but one could rewrite the article as

> I bought a UPS without reading the spec because i thought it‘s uninterruptible (it has a U in it...) and then I never tested it‘s functionality over years. Now I think it‘s the suppliers fault that it did not work.

There was another article that was a rant against a UPS supplier because it did not work anymore after a long time without checking.

IMHO, a UPS is a device for _professionals_. It‘s not something one just buy and install-and-forget. It‘s something that needs regular maintenance and testing. It’s like a car. It’s not just driving, it’s also about checking the tires, dilling up gas, ... It might get advertised to you differently, but it‘s not that easy.

I already have to deal with citrus names in different languages: pomelo in Spanish, toranja in Portuguese , grapefruit in English . This article added a bit to the confusion: pomelo comes from grapefruit?
I just encountered this for the first time this morning, depressing.
This article points to something fantastic about language models, which the general skepticism over GPT-3 (at least here) seems to have obscured.

Sure, language models won't get us any closer to AGI, but the fact that they are so good at memorizing and re-spewing existing text means that they can offer a snapshot of an average use of any language.

The possibilities this opens might not be as great as AGI, but they're pretty amazing nonetheless:

- Think about ancient history and fragments of manuscripts. You could make guesses on missing parts of old, lacunary texts. Maybe the missing bits in an ancient Greek papyrus are actually included in a citation in a Byzantine manuscript. Nobody made the connection but that could be enough for a language model trained on the appropriate data to fill in the blanks.

- You can also compare snapshots of languages at different points in time. Train a language model on English texts from 1850 and one on texts from 1950. That could tell you how an average writer or speaker from each era would react in different situations.

Language models may not lead us any closer to general intelligence, but they can offer us a lot of intelligence on our own history, languages and cultures.
Unfortunately it seems that NLP as a field is more interested in classifying the sentiment of tweets than trying to explore these questions.
A CSP without unsafe-inline will block your example as well.

I agree that one should still sanitize input, at least for fields which allow HTML* , but it's obvious XSS filtering/sanitization can introduce XSS as much as not. This article is merely one example, there were enough to make Chrome give up and turn off their XSS filter. So main defence should be CSP and sanitization is just a nice-to-have.

* Because sanitized input is often saner than the nonsense users can insert when they are allowed to put in tags. Basically use sanitization as an HTML Tidy with extra filtering. Also for very old browsers.
The discovery is beyond doubt deserving of the award. It was also awarded only 8 years after the publication.

It's a bit sad though that Virginijus Šikšnys didn't get any credit for the discovery, because his paper sent over a month earlier was rejected by Cell.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virginijus_%C5%A0ik%C5%A1nys#P...

Edit: The Nobel award paper writes this on his findings: https://www.nobelprize.org/uploads/2020/10/advanced-chemistr...

> Similar findings were also published in another report using the related CRISPR-Cas system in Streptococcus. As in Charpentier and Doudna’s work, this report also demonstrated that Cas9 cleaves within the protospacer, that cleavage specificity is directed by the crRNA sequence, and that the two nuclease domains within Cas9, each cleave one strand. However, the researchers did not notice the crucial importance of tracrRNA for sequence-specific cleavage of target DNA [29].

So I guess it's a bit more complicated than just having missed the publication.

In Vienna they get paid as amean to get beggars out of hotspots. Sad but true.
The one thing holding me back from qutebrowser is the fact that its adblocking capabilities (particularly cosmetic ones) are nowhere near up to par with anything like uBlock Origin or even Adblock Plus on Firefox. I'm happy to see they're working on it, but uBlock-enabled web browsing has been a gamechanger for me, and it'd be hard to give that up to use a browser akin to Tridactyl++.

The second that qutebrowser (or any Webkit/Webengine vim-like browser) gets good adblock/cosmetic filtering support, I'll switch in a heartbeat.
Yes, they were delusional. Economics trumps engineering, always.
LED car headlights do use this principle; it does have some applications.

However, the diameter of each LED optic would need to at least equal the diameter of the single optic used for a point source light. The result would be an enormous searchlight with a very broad beam.

I can't find any solid information on the quantitative light output of the AN/TVS-3, but xenon arc lamps typically produce 30 lumens per watt. Therefore, the 20KW AN/TVS-3 should produce around 600,000 lumens.

Readily available high-power LEDs are capable of 1700 lumens, so equaling the AN/TVS-3 would take--as a very rough ballpark that does not take into account the different light distribution between LEDs and discharge lamps--350 LEDs and optics. The AN/TVS-3 uses 30" optics, so those optics would also need to be at least 30" in diameter.

350 30" optics is a lot more like a wall of light than a searchlight. Aiming that many separate optics would also be a nightmare.
Yang and Lee got it 1957 for parity violation, work that they did in 1956 and which was experimentally confirmed the same year by Wu (who should have gotten a share, I think).
Reasons I'm suspicious:

* article leads with "in production" but it sounds like they are still at the design phase. production of prototypes maybe?

* they are doing a lot of "talking" and "partnering" but not so much selling mentioned.

* they are "known for" their similar work in the ultra-capacitor market but the linked page's top comment is "still waiting for a product".

* PR about raising funding and starting soon but not a lot of PR about actual products and results.

Am I being too cynical - does anybody know if they are for real?

I’ve been kicking around the idea of a proper commercial kitchen in the house I’m thinking of building in the next few years, and it seems like this is definitely the kind of stuff you need to plan the whole room around.

That said, who doesn’t want a big gas griddle, serious fume hood exhaust, and a giant three door stainless fridge in their kitchen?! I’m so tired of smoke detectors going off when I try to cook a steak indoors, or filling the whole house with burger grease smoke.

A real set of commercial kitchen gear, in a room designed for the purpose, to me is the ultimate luxury kitchen. Beats the hell out of those pot-filler arms and silly islands that pass for such these days in residences.

I would also point out that even with access to the parts, getting into the guiness world records book is expensive (one of the main reason speedruns rarely make it there). So it's likely 10k$ for parts and labor plus 10k$ to get their judges to come and verify the record.
I'm open to pushback. Nobel prizes usually reward basic science over applications thereof. My understanding is that Feng Zhang didn't discover anything fundamental. Sure, he was first with applying CRISPR to eucaryotic cells. Which indeed is an impressive feat: not because it was a huge theoretical leap but because of his labs strong work ethic managing to do so very quickly.

That's interesting, but do the Google Colab Terms of Service allow this? The article goes into how, but not if you're allowed to. Until you're certain it is allowed, I would suggest not using it. You don't want to be locked out of your (at best) colab or (at worst) Google account because you wanted a fancy IDE.
Brilliant but it seems to me every colab hack requires ngrok or something similar to relay the traffic, which it's sadly just too slow.

The H1B can be and does get renewed by 100s of thousands of people. AC21 provision allows for an H1B to be renewed in perpetuity (even beyond 6 years) until an approved green card petition is pending. The approved green card petition can stay pending for a really long time due to country based immigration queues which disadvantage people from large population countries.

OpenZFS 2.0 Nears Release, OpenZFS 3.0 Could See macOS Support
The probability of generating any given infinite stream is 0, though.
yes, its not distribution agnostic, what I'd argue is that "docker style" containers (i.e. created out of a composed set of layers) would benefit from being constructed out of its own layer distribution instead of a package distribution. that the benefits one gets from building images in a way that leverages layers would be a big win.

simple examples:

1) we spend time ordering the layers we install in docker so as not to waste space if an earlier layer changes. in layer aware building, this isn't an issue.

2) if one does a run apt-get install XYZ, unless one nukes one's cache on every build (possibly ruining all efforts to not waste space if data comes out somewhat differently), one will not actually be getting the latest packages.

The primary benefit of leveraging an existing distribution is that you have all the software they have already built (and is built to work on them). Which I don't want to downplay the value of that. I understand why the decisions were made to leverage them, I just feel they come with a cost.

I'd also note that the prototype I described was basically finished being built 4 years prior to docker. we've learned a lot since then, but I think we've also forgotten a bit.

Coding Interview set 4 with JavaScript solutions
I think you should share your views at the next team meeting, I am sure you will get many brownie points.
Trying to hit it in the top left or right corner is so risky though - for a high-profile example of what can go wrong take a look at Baggio's penalty miss in the 1994 World Cup final or when Beckham skied his against Portugal in 2004. In a high pressure situation like a penalty it's so easy to get under it and send it soaring over the bar.

I think it's more about going with what you are confident with, and having the resolve to not change your mind just before you hit the ball. I had a pretty solid right footed drive, so I'd just crack it low and hard into the bottom left. That way I didn't have to be particularly accurate to get a good chance of converting it (it didn't have to be tucked JUST inside the post) but the keeper had to:

1. guess the right side

2. know I was going low

3. dive very quickly

4. dive quite far

I know that any time I missed I doubted myself or changed my mind at the last minute and tried something different or fancy. I was not a famous footballer facing an opponent who had studied my stats though - so I doubt this is a strategy that works outside Sunday League :-)

edit: I went back to check Beckham's penalty against Portugal to check my memory wasn't misleading me ... man that was some shootout: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WlEUdZgH0gc

- David Beckham kicks his penalty over the crossbar, out of the stadium and into orbit

- Rui Costa kicks his penalty over too, not quite as high

- Nuno Gomes (I think?) does a Panenka

- Ricardo saves a penalty for Portugal without his gloves, then proceeds to take penalty himself ... and scores, winning the game
I have noticed a tendency among people to rationalise things that suck in life to actually be good for you. Phrases such as "It builds character" or "It is necessary for the society/people/..." are not too uncommon.

It seems to be a universal characteristic of people to co-opt largely harmful activities such as smoking for useful things such as social interaction or relaxation.
How abuse-proof are the optical connectors on those? Can you carry devices and cables in dusty bags all day and not worry about getting dirt in the optical path?
You either need enough of it so it goes prompt critical on it's own (which is very different from being critical, which means your largely running on natural fission, prompt means that your fission rates become exponential), without refining that probably requires half a ton of U or P material.

Show HN: RoboSwarm – WordPress and WooCommerce Load Testing with No Code
Hey Everyone,

I recently launched https://roboswarm.dev, a WordPress and WooCommerce load testing platform. RoboSwarm is opinionated (with some flexibility) and can give you a good sense of how many users your WordPress site or WooCommerce store can handle.

Why should you use RoboSwarm?

- Peace of mind
- Easy
- Authenticated & Unauthenticated load tests
- Massive scaling (capped at 2000 users right now, but can go much higher)
- Global distribution (we run load generators in all DigitalOcean regions
- Custom WooCommerce load tests (every Woo setup is different. We're creating each test by hand at first while we look for common patterns to automate)
- Affordable (we spin up testing infrastructure on-demand, so our fixed costs are low)

I hope everyone checks it out!
Depends on the kid and the kind of programming. Scratch can be taught at a younger age because it is very visual and the basics do not require much abstract reasoning.
Right, thanks. Sometimes the HN format isn't exactly conducive to easily see who wrote what in reply to who if there is not a direct relationship. My original assertion regarding the prudishness of the culture being a driving factor was not correct.
Rubber stamp? Have you ever tried applying for an H1b renewal? There is constant anxiety over ever changing rules and RFEs. Not to mention the run around to get a visa stamp every 3 years.

Few thousand to get into green card line? Have you ever tried doing this? There is an elaborate over a year long process to get into this line. and even then its a broken broken system that stipulates that queues are country based, which mean a Lithuanian who enters the queue today will get a green card before an equally qualified chinese or indian person who has been in the queue for 10 years!

And I didn't do anything like "teaching them perl". In fact, I think I may have actually used bash; and if I were doing it today I'd probably use python. The point was to have something that you could reasonably guess what it was doing from looking at it. You don't have to know anything about perl replace "A" with "E" and vice versa.

And although I wouldn't call this exercise "fun", it's something that connects with a part of their life they understand. Nobody would actually write a script like this, but someone could totally write a function like this as part of a larger program, and have exactly the kind of "bug" that was displayed there; or, could be hacked in exactly the same way.

Kids are sharp enough to know when a skill is going to be useful, even if it's not "fun".
Thanks for posting the link. OK

"With regard to SARS-CoV-2, very recent studies described CD4+ and CD8+ T cell responses to viral peptide megapools in donors that had recovered from COVID-19 and individuals not exposed to SARS-CoV-2, the latter being indicative of potential T cell cross-reactivity21"

They seem to be saying there's value in peptide donors who had recovered from covid, a transfusion of which to those who've not had covid seem to be valuable. It does not say (AIUI) that there is "substantial cross immunity to it though T-Cells defence" in the sense of having a similar disease gives you cross immunity. If I'm wrong, which is likely, please point out the correct passage.

Look at the way YouTube Content ID encourages innovation and then imagine GitHub Content ID.

“Your repository contains 3 copyrighted method calls. You’ve been issued a copyright strike.”

I’d love to see every open source repo on the internet go private for 1 day as a demonstration of what could be lost if copyright is allowed to weasel its way into APIs.

GitHub and NPM should give users the option to block their repos for a day. A bazillion failing builds would open some eyes IMO.

> Ironically we who fought IE6 are partially responsible for this

There is some truth to this, but in a different way: after IE6 was "beaten", it started falling behind in terms of features and the web dev community as a whole (myself included) started caring less and less about IE compatibility, I suspect partially because we disliked IE on principle.

Fast-forward to Chrome's launch and it felt in many ways like going from IE to Firefox. Devs started dropping FF support just like they did with IE, not entirely realising, that the situation was much different: whereas the first time, we were going from a worse closed browser to a better open one, we were now abandoning a worse open one for a better closed one.

I'm of course not blaming this on the web community. The open-source license of Chromium made the switch feel safer, but despite the code license, the decision-making process behind the browser is far from open. Now that I think about it, this is starting to sound familiar... Something about Embracing..and Extending, with a third E-word rising up at the horizon, but I can't make it out quite yet.....
Oh, I love vue. Do you have design chops?
Can you please explain to me (I don't understand it) why do you think GPT-3 is closed? Yes, they won't share the trained model, but they're sharing the research here[0][1] so you can reproduce easily, aren't they? As I understand it now, it's very fair - training the model is a separate thing from doing (and sharing) the research, is very costly, and would not happen if they were forced to open that too - I also don't understand why should they be.
