> I've spend the last 3 hours trying the wipe and reinstall the thing, because their non-virgin-os migration assistant is simply unreliable

Did you try the migration assistant before nuking the machine? Maybe it didn't work for you in the past, is this still the case?

I mean, you have taken a perfectly usable system and decided to wipe and reinstall from scratch. That's not a normal user experience.

Most users are NOT going to wipe a brand new machine. Should anything break, they will reinstall from a Time Machine backup.

Or, worst case, they will Command + R on boot and reinstall from remote recovery. Why isn't that an option?

This can hardly be blamed on Apple. Before messing with the system, one should be prepared to spend time bringing it back up, including any mistakes made along the way. Last time I wiped a Windows 10 machine I had even more problems than that - made worse because Windows recovery is borderline useless (and can't install the OS from the internet). But hey, I knew what I was signing up for.
Perhaps something like mamba [1] could speed up the resolver. That is if the resolver is actually achieving anything at all.

I don’t know what you’re getting at. It would be like trying to better understand the microeconomic factors behind Beanie Babies. It’s an exercise in futility. They’re toys and they ended up being resold at prices that made no sense to the common man.

Of all the endless knowledge that humanity produces, you have to ask yourself whether or not there’s meaning in pursuing topics endlessly.

They’re flowers. This isn’t a discussion about some ECON 500-level course topic.

There’s an academic argument to be had about whether or not the accounts of the event are credible, but that’s not what we’re talking about here.
Well, they are rare though. If I have a problem finding 2,000 qualified people in X time then that skill is rare.(I recognize "qualified" is the company's threshold to call).

The problem at the core is the law itself. Why don't we instead just auction off visas to improve efficiency?
Has Intel really had any response even for Ryzen?
I authored a moderately large (scaled for global use) e-commerce / webapp / webAPI, as well as operated as a tech architect + MBA for a number of web startups. I have a pretty good idea of the complexity, architecture variations, and bottlenecks.

My example intended to reference more than i18n, as that only covers the interface. Consider something like an online international university where there is media, but that media varies with 8 different languages, so each and every aspect of any presentation needs to accommodate variable length text fields, left and right and vertical directions of text display, every media clip varies in length due to language, and multi-language users can switch display mode at will. I've done projects like this, over a dozen, and it's quite the challenge.
> I wonder if we will ever be able to use SRV records for HTTP.

It is being planned as we speak! :-)

There's the ALTSVC proposal, now replaced by the SVCB and HTTPSSRV proposals:

https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-dnsop-svcb-httpssvc-0...

It has a higher chance of being adopted than previous use of SRV records, because it will speed up HTTP/3 by removing a round trip to query a HTTP server to check for HTTP/3.
That burden of proof has already existed in the form of having to file the requisite paperwork including a letter from a doctor as well as a specific animal behavior form. It was not just a matter of claiming $random_animal is an emotional support animal. The problem appears to be that airlines ignored the requisite paperwork or the paperwork was fraudulent (for example written by doctors who are family friends).
Plenty of theaters in the US do this, they just need a liquor license, the availability and restrictions on which vary wildly across local jurisdictions.
I don't think criminalizing "poor coping strategies" is likely to be an effective intervention, if the health and well-being of the people engaging in them is your concern.
You dismiss me, but I spent four years alongside people who repeatedly and consistently followed the "money is not important to me" mantra. They were adults, old enough to understand consequences. But money was not important to them. We were in ones of the most expensive colleges in the nation, mind you.
Now money matters to them, and they would rather someone else covers their debts, someone who actually generates productive output.
And these people are almost exclusively from the economically upper quartile of the population. They want Bob the plumber to pay for their anthro degree. Lol.
Now how about you take some sociology classes to understand this situation?
I may be misunderstanding, but if you are alleging that Facebook is "promising" foreign workers that it will go through the PERM process with them, and then reneging on that "promise" once they are hired in order to prevent them from quitting I have seen 0 evidence of that, not is that what is being alleged.

If you are saying that "not all H1-B workers go through the PERM process and get permanent residency", then yes, that's how it works, and is not at all unique to Facebook. And H1-B is not, and is not meant to be, a guaranteed path to a green card.
I didn't know this. This is related:

There is a concerning amount of strawman comments that hinge on conflating service animals with emotional support animals. No one said anything about disabled people, we are talking about people who want their Caucasian Shepard to join them in economy class for no other reason than wanting their dog.
Just in case you are serious here: a random anecdote on a forum discussion doesn't count for anything, definitely not for a "leak". That parent message had a wild claim which of course requires serious proof.

Edit: since you're asking, proof could be multiple testimonials from ex-engineers working on the project or a peer-reviewed article in a serious journal. Until that this is in the same bin with healing crystals and chemtrails.
This is pretty cool, and seems like it would be fun to mess around with. I loathe to be overly negative since I realize I'm probably not the smartest person in the room so I might have overlooked something, but...

1) My findings are that you can't ever predict future stock performance based on historical data, no matter how many tests/trials/algorithms you run. The reason for this is because we, as mere mortal humans, just simply can't predict the future -- no matter how much we try to obfuscate this fact with math and data science, unless you're modeling every single thing that's happening on the planet at the same time and have created a singularity or something, you just can't. This means there is always something potentially lurking around the corner that can absolutely destroy your returns. Now, can you have success in the short/medium term? Maybe. You have a chance to come out a winner in Vegas too.

2) The difference between simulated trades and real trades is actually quite significant. Every real trade you make on the market, no matter how small and/or insignificant you think it is, actually does have a real impact on the market. This is where I find it typically goes sideways when people come up with algorithms based on historical data. An analogy for this is voting -- you might feel that your one single vote doesn't matter, but the fact that everyone voted is everything. You can't easily simulate this as far as I can think of.
Can you be a bit more specific about what section of the article you're referring to? The claim I read is that it runs fast and cool, as perceived by touching the outside case. I didn't find any claim that no heat was generated at all and didn't read anything about throttling in this article.
That's not true at all. Fonts & other vector-based graphics scale to any resolution just fine.

The myth of 1x, 2x, and 3x being "preferred" is just an Apple-ism because their UI toolkit is pixel-based. That's a flaw in their toolkit, not an inherent technical constraint. Combined with then Apple scaling it yet again after it's rendered.

Other platforms are not nearly as badly designed.
If I am investing and seeking returns I will tolerate a certain level of risk and volatility, if they are justified by the returns I am getting.

If I want to store value, what I am looking to avoid at all costs is volatility and risk. That's why instituations are even accepting to lose a little bit of value in return for security by buying bonds from Northern European countries.

It's kind of in the definition of the word "storing": If you want to store water you won't put your bucket of water on to a race car, even though it might drive through a heavy rain.
How can one in California match one in both Utah and Romania when the Utah and Romania monoliths look very different from each other?
It's obvious if you ever were anywhere close to a process of hiring a programmer. It's hard to find competent people. There is a lot of competition. A lot of positions companies could profitably hire at decent salaries won't ever be filled because salaries of people qualified to do those jobs start above profitability threshold.

Besides, it's not rocket science that having more talented productive people in your country is a good idea.

Much of Julia was directly inspired by Lisp.
I did a take-home exercise earlier this week. They provided access to a database and said << do thing >>. Implied was that I should << do thing >> with a program rather than a query.

One of my solutions used Golang. It pulled data, looped a lot, then put results back. It took approximately 4 minutes.

I included a second solution, using SQL. It selected into the results table with a little bit of CTE magic. It took approximately 600ms.
Does anyone miss floppies? CDs? What about SCSI or ADB? I can't think of one thing Apple dropped that caused such an uproar at the time that people regret now. Sure, I bitch about my laptop not having an SD reader, but Apple hasn't shown me what's next for its replacement other than thinner (meh). SCSI->USB/Firewire->USB2->USB3->USB-C this all made sense.
Stop retconning history. The H-1B has always been meant as a path to permanent residence, which is why it has been dual intent since the beginning.

The AC21 indefinite extensions were added because the per-country backlogs were not anticipated back when the program was created. But it has always, from the very beginning, built a path to permanent residence in via EB2, EB3 and the dual intent provision.

Edit: The person replying to me about the H1B not being dual intent from the beginning is wrong. I have receipts. The H1B was introduced in the Immigration Act of 1990.

https://www.congress.gov/bill/101st-congress/senate-bill/358...

> `(h) The fact that an alien is the beneficiary of an application for a
preference status filed under section 204 or has otherwise sought permanent
residence in the United States shall not constitute evidence of an intention
to abandon a foreign residence for purposes of obtaining a visa as a
nonimmigrant described in subparagraph (H)(i) or (L) of section 101(a)(15)
or otherwise obtaining or maintaining the status of a nonimmigrant described
in such subparagraph, if the alien had obtained a change of status under
section 248 to a classification as such a nonimmigrant before the alien's
most recent departure from the United States.'.

Edit to respond to the second reply: The H-1B is dual intent. I did not make any claims about a visa category that no longer exists. Besides, the argument about whether the H-1B is an update or a new category doesn't matter -- it is clear that Congress intended for the H-1B, as created (or updated if you will) in 1990, to be a path to permanent residence. The assertion that it was never intended that way is ahistorical.

Further edit: It sounds like rayiner's dad came in on an older H-1 which indeed didn't have the dual intent provision, not an H-1B which does. The details matter here!

Further, further edit:

> The only reason you need “dual intent” is because the law still requires H1-B holders to have non-immigrant intent.

I literally pointed to the provision of the 1990 Act which does not require non-immigrant intent for people in H and L statuses. This is what Congress intended.

Of course the H-1B isn't an immigrant visa. It is a dual intent visa, in that it preserves the option value of not having to become a green card holder (and thus pay US taxes worldwide if you decide to leave later, etc.) So someone on an H-1B can choose to become a permanent resident, but doesn't have to become one.

I'm sympathetic to the argument that people should have to decide within a few years either to leave or to stay permanently, but for that the green card backlogs need to be eliminated by statute.
I think Shakespeare described this by the words "hoisted on his own petard".

In this case, both Google (a social justice activist gets them into a public screaming match, what a surprise) and Ms. Gebru (played chicken with her employer and lost).
What exactly does Facebook need the best people for? To implement the remaining 5 percent of MySpace?

As to the H1-B thing, I suspect most of the people here haven't interviewed at the crummier software jobs (like at a commercial bank) but it's amazing how an entire department can be nothing but foreigners of no apparent excellence, and yet they can't "find" any citizens to hire even after interviewing them. There's heavy fraud top-to-bottom and it's going to get much worse.

> ARM not being very open is mostly because there's been limited development interest in it, aside from specialised devices

That's an extremely weird thing to say...
I knew and worked with multiple people at Facebook who were terrified of losing their jobs, as that would mean having to go back to an unstable home country.

I knew others who didn’t have such bad situations, but wanted to leave toward better offers and couldn’t due to H1-B and desire to get permanent residency.

Those I knew in the former category put in long hours because of their fear, those in the latter category were having their wages suppressed because of how these H1Bs are structured.

Sure, FB paid the same to H1B holders, but they’re getting a lot out of those folks because they have a harder time jumping ship.

Further, just because FB pays H1B holders the same at each band does NOT mean that H1Bs might not drag down salary for everyone by accepting lower offers. There’s a systemic component to this that ought to be explored.
I've been doing a fair bit of promotion and marketing, because "you build it and they will come" rarely works, even if your stuff is good. But I'm sure any dev who has launched anything already knows that.

I posted this here with close to 0 expectations, because my posts in HN usually don't get much attention. If you've seen this on Reddit, you should know it was very well received in multiple subs, so getting a bit more than 20 upvotes here wouldn't be something out of the ordinary.

> I’m enjoying sitting on the sidelines and watching people “invest” in a digital “currency” that you cannot spend, does not produce cash flow, and whose values are determined by other shmucks buying it from previous shmucks.

Is that any different than a stock though? You can’t spend stocks, they don’t produce cash flow (ignoring dividends), and their value is what other’s are buying and selling it for.

Just as I can offer to sell my share for $10,000 despite it trading at $100, I can do the same with Bitcoin. There’s a reason some people call Bitcoin an “investment.”

Now, before anyone thinks I’m advocating Bitcoin, I’m not. I’m just pointing out the similarities to the stock market.
I love my dog. He's my best and most sycophantic friend. If I'm going anywhere he might be allowed, he's with me.

I'd be damned if I put him in a crate at the bottom of an airplane for 10-hours straight.

When I worked jobs as a janitor, and as a retail worker, I have at various times had clean up the shit, piss vomit, and any number of other bodily expulsions produced by 'emotional support' animals, invariably left untouched and without comment by their owners, or argued with people whose pets growl and bark at everyone if they aren't muzzled. I can't imagine being a flight attendant trying to manage that with a potentially belligerent owner for 10 hours on a plane.

No matter how well-behaved your animal is next time, if you aren't traveling over the ocean, please just drive, so you aren't putting the burden of your pet's presence of everyone else.
>OEMs still largely prefer Intel for laptops for whatever reason, which sucks, and it seriously hampers the ability for AMD to compete in this market.

OEMs might prefer Intel because, unlike AMD, Intel is actually able to supply the CPUs to go in their notebooks. A slow CPU is better than no CPU. My understanding is that AMD is mainly focused on supplying the gaming console makers, so I don't know that the situation will improve over the next few years for laptop manufactures seeking AMD chips.

I love all the downvotes with no explanation about how this is a defensible practice in any way.

I could understand if airlines kept a blacklist for people who have animals out of control, but they don't even do that right now with their absurd overcharging. I could also understand putting down a refundable deposit and a $20-40 charge(though you can bring much heavier carry-ons for free).

The airlines' practices are indefensible. They are wildly overcharging and it is clearly a scam.

It is sad they are closing this loophole that allowed people to end run the scammers.

And yet, even Windows DELL laptops are more likely to run mainline Linux than any average ARM SoC, even including the ones targeted at developers.

Attention != quality. Especially not the type of quality that keeps one from getting fired after publicly badmouthing ones boss.

As far as I can see, the only way she would keep her job, is if her research was so fundamental to the company that they literally could not function without her. Citations don’t tell you that. My boss is a star researcher in his field with multiple 1000+ citation papers. He still has to act respectfully of his boss and peers.
These things exist since way before 2000, and are working just fine without http/2+. I can think of another use case, though: sending lots of ads and videos from a single domain of a well-known ad company.
Correct me if I’m wrong, but Facebook hires people under a generic role (Software Engineer) and then has them choose the team they will join after a “bootcamp” session. So they are not preallocated to a team to fulfill a specific need, and it’s not a direct 1 requisition to 1 person type system. I believe that’s what the above poster was referring to when they mentioned Facebook hiring to be general.

Agreed, yet if you watch some Vulkan talks that seems to be the direction that is being pushed, with OpenGL being a library on top of Vulkan.

The problem is that not everyone actually needs Vulkan, and for those middleware seems to be the only way to avoid going into Vulkan low level programming.
I think what people are missing here is that this lawsuit is not about hiring foreign workers over US workers, it's about circumventing the PERM process. The PERM process is a bit outdated and requires you to advertise for the same position that a person is already hired for and has been working in, to prove that there isn't another person who can take up the job. It is a flawed process because even though the process is to prove that the person is filling gaps in the labor market, it doesn't fully capture that. Say you have 10000 infrastructure engineers in the market that are US citizens and there are 15000 job openings, if you advertise a job opening, you'll always have candidates who are basically switching jobs and therefore according to the PERM requirements, you can't hire foreign workers. But in reality you still need to fill 5000 jobs. So to compensate for that a lot of companies, follow the process which requires you put a job posting in print media and collect applications via mail, but don't go the extra mile to post online. Because they already have the candidate working in their company, and they need to prove that they are worthy of the job. FB isn't to blame here tbh, it's the immigration laws that were drafted decades ago. I bet FB walks free of this one.
> Facebook is looking to hire a human to fill a spot in the org chart.

This isn't true. Most (not all) engineers are just hired into "Facebook", in general, not onto a specific team with a specific manager. They choose a team to join about ~2 months after joining the company and going through an internal training and team selection process.
