Country of origin and immigration status are not the same thing. A company cannot discriminate based on origin. Immigration status is something else. Companies are legally required to ask if you are eligible to work in the country. If your skills are in demand enough they can pursue a visa for you. If not, you’re just another cog in the machine. They are free to find someone who can meet the requirement.
Hi! I'm a student and just saw this post. I would be interested to try out this app as I'm learning AWS in my class and this looks like it would be useful.

If you dont mind, do you mind shooting me a free copy?
Need help to decide the tools to be used for the below problem:

The system is a bunch of batch jobs that are scheduled to run at different intervals. These jobs can be modelled as an acyclic directed graph of steps. They basically download files from vendors and map the rows inside them into a generic format (for generating reports). There are a lot of vendors and each vendor can have a different file format containing different fields -- hence requiring custom business logic to populate (map) the corresponding generic file (like aggregating fields, fetching values from DB, etc.). Also these vendors' files sometimes contain errors, or are dropped late for download, etc. -- failures can happen and these failed instances of jobs should be able to rerun.

Existing system is built using Spring Batch and Spring Integration. The problems with the existing system are:

1. there are more than 200 jobs and most of them have their own custom logic during mapping -- cannot be generified

2. lot of manual work needed to onboard new vendors

3. jobs are synchronous and run only on one node, typically for lots of hours

4. rerunning jobs is a nightmare

Dream state for this system:

1. Dynamically add jobs to the runtime using generic components that can be reused -- maybe through an API / UI

2. Preferably, multiple records from a single file be processed across distributed nodes to generate a single output generic file

3. Rerunning should be easier

I am a noob to CS. I did a good bit of research for the past month. Found a few data-science tools in Python -- which is a no-no for a production system. Also, I know that the steps cannot be made generic after some extent since custom mapping logic is required for almost every vendor. But asking to see what is possible. Any help to point to prospective tools and technologies to solve the above will be much appreciated.

Thanks

There already are consequences. Auditors will check the physical security of your office buildings if you're dealing with anything sensitive. If a breach happens later on and it turns out you cut corners on that physical security (or even somehow unwittingly compromised it) then you're not going to have a good time.
I feel like it would be disingenuous to invite a chronically depressed man and expect an upbeat discourse about how exciting life can be in college. I think it's a defining feature of depression to fill one's consciousness to the extent where there's little left for acknowledging other things or other people. The works I read of David Foster Wallace's seemed different ways of him expressing his discontent about the world and how little importance he gave it.
I am sure that Apple will fix this, probably by disabling this feature in India. That is one of the nice things about Apple, when you run into issues like this, things happen, precisely because they are so common.

From your description, I fear you don't understand the usual diagonalisation proof that constructs an uncounted real from any attempt to count the reals. Why should "the longest" diagonal have anything to do with it?
It's not to be taken literally. Someone might offer you some dessert and, if you don't accept, say "no one ever died from eating some sweet dessert", but that's not a claim that literally no one ever died from eating sweet dessert. I'm sure more than one person choked on it and died in the history of humanity.

It doesn't mean that, it means "very very few people get rich working for someone else".
187k of very compressible strings, producing a small array in memory, in exchange for avoiding all the costs of a web service seems like an excellent trade off.

> The median household income in the United States is $79.9K.

No, its not, that's the median family income, which only counts groups of two or more people related by birth, marriage, or adoption living in the same home, whereas median family income includes single-member households and those whose members have no family relation, and thus is significantly lower, about $65K.
I've found it really difficult to learn new topics like this comprehensively, and I'm in a similar age range, so I feel the challenge you describe.

My perhaps old-fashioned view is that taking some kind of course -- online or otherwise -- that involves a prepared curriculum, work assignments, and examinations is probably the way to go.

Piecemeal learning may be effective under some circumstances, but for a large field that involves inter-related concepts, my guess is that it's hard to build a solid understanding without having stepped through a carefully-designed set of lessons that highlight and anticipate the connections in advance.

I'd also expect that finding the time to take that kind of course and commit sufficient energy to it may be a challenge. Could you ask your employer to see whether they'd be supportive of it? (perhaps with career and role development in mind?)

Another potential factor to consider: having a supportive social group during education can be very effective, I think. There's no magic solution for that; it'll involve a bit of outreach and trying to find those people to learn with.

That doesn't provide any neat answers or links for you, I'm sorry about that; but I'm curious to follow this thread and the responses, and to let you know that you're not alone. Good luck!
Exactly this. I am an autodidact that built a long career in tech without college. Now that I am retired from tech, I'd love to get a degree, but US's model of spending four years taking a long list of superfluous classes just as a gate to learn the subjects I want is ridiculous. Why is the US curriculum stuck in an antiquated view of a "well-rounded" education?
The typical user, faced with a huge sorted list of phone numbers and asked to just look through it, will not know how to find a number of interest and will quite possibly be quite flustered or irritated.

It's not technologically hard to implement a search, so I don't see a reason to only show a big list.

Having all the numbers visible in the page would certainly help it show up in web-search results for those phone numbers, though.
Fundamentally the issue is that teachers and teaching in general is too sensitive to disruptions. Unlike most other professions, teaching has the cascading effect of making the parents who have jobs also unavailable and so forth

For you computer people out there it’s a familiar problem. This teacher was sick, and she should’ve been removed. Are there substitutes available? Is there another teacher? If not then teaching simply stops for that class, this is not politically realistic nor is it necessarily advisable.

If nothing else this shows that are society needs a little bit more redundancy. That way the solution is simple - check for symptoms upon entrance and send sick people home. The end

That being said it’s baffling that the teacher took their mask off despite having symptoms. Surely that would’ve helped a little
Masks help infected people not spread COVID, they are less useful at preventing uninfected from catching COVID. Everyone has to wear them though because no one knows who has COVID at any given time.
If natural law is a form of genetic determinism, as you suggest, genetic variation and diversity would lead to not one singular set of natural laws, but a spectrum of them. Collectively-held rights cannot be derived directly from this broad spectrum; natural rights serve as a medium through which felt natural law may be applied practically and collectively. It is thus wrong to speak of "natural law" as a justification for socially-permissible action; you are only doing as you wish, with no regard for how others feel.

Again, when you do so, you must understand that others have no obligation to tolerate it.

Yeah, this week I've restarted my scanning tunnel microscope that I'm failing to make work for years... The current one is a standard pair of long metal bars with the piezoelectric component on one end, with 2 screws, and a 3rd screw on the other end.

My problem is that it doesn't matter how I design the thing, either the screws offer too little precision so I can't help but to crush the tip into the sample every time, or too little travel distance so I can't help but crush the tip into the sample when adjusting the coarser screws near the tip. This is the kind of thing that looks like a non-problem on the web, because everybody just ignores this step.

Big or small company, I doubt they can pay the employees' salary with "exposure". They might have pratically infinite VC money for now, but that's an orthogonal discussion, just as "exposure" and being fairly compensated are.

edit: and what about it had been a smaller company or individual researcher who wouldn't be able to gain as much from this publicity? Are you saying that Microsoft would have awarded them $ 500k? Because that's not the message sent with this reward. And frankly, even this discussion is kind of off-the-point because I doubt that's what they took into account when defining the money quantity.

Fowler states: I’ve long known that when you’re doing very creative work, such as writing or programming, the useful hours you can do in a day is rather less than the accepted industrial eight.

I don't want to disagree with him as this is quite subjective, but when I am totally engrossed in solving a problem, I get into a flow and the time flies by. If the problem is both interesting and challenging, I can't wait to get back to working on it and I hate having to stop!

I do agree if the work is joyless and the product is tedious, one hour spent on it can certainly seem like eight.

At the time of XP, Microsoft had a fierce monopoly in the world and was absolutely dominating.

I wouldn’t be surprised if they started embracing the “ship fast” mentality with the cloud a bit more over the past years, in order to corner the market more quickly (which they did).

Additionally, I can also imagine that the release processes for cloud are fundamentally different than something like an OS. With the cloud, there’s a much larger mentality of releasing often, and it may be difficult to translate rigorous security audits to this workflow.
> The key problem with anti-vaxxers

Before you turn this into a bitter vax versus anti-vax debate through unjustified insinuations about the teacher, you need to acknowledge two important nuances from the CDC report [1]:

1) Causation was not established. The delta variant was likely circulating throughout the entire school. For example, kids across multiple grade levels tested positive (these kids are not in the same classrooms). Also parents and siblings tested positive. It's very plausible that the teacher was not the 'index' case, even considering symptom onset dates (many infections are asymptomatic especially in children).

2) All 3 vaccinated adults were symptomatic, which speaks to the fact that although the vaccines are still effective at preventing severe outcomes, the delta variant has undermined the efficacy at preventing infection (from 91% to 66%) [2].

> Among the five infected adults, one parent and the teacher were unvaccinated; the others were fully vaccinated. The vaccinated adults and one unvaccinated adult were symptomatic

Very few people get rich period. Many more get to the upper middle class, say the top 10-20% of income. And the vast majority of those do so by ordinary employment, not starting a business.

If we go by the numbers and the odds rather than pithy-but-misleading slogans, the easiest, safest path to a higher income is probably acquiring skills that are more rewarded in the labor market.

Which is still far from easy, but there is no easy way to make a lot of money. That much I agree with the article writer on.
So far the claim is "an unauthorized person's name was entered into the log of people who were present for a secure software update conducted by Dominion employees" and not "rando unauthorized person to be alone with one of your machines." If someone seeing an update executed compromises the machines, that's a HUGE problem.

But I think you're spot on with the slot machine comparison. In a casino, asking security to turn off the cameras monitoring an area would be a breach in itself. They wouldn't do it and would report someone who requested it.

In this situation, "how could an official could order it?" and "why did the security team do it?" are both things to look into. Was this standard operating procedure? If so, for how long and when else did it occur?

And broader, are there other jurisdictions where they had similar security lapses? If so, when, where, and for how long? Further, were those machines also removed from service and analyzed?
> April 8: it seems there's now a mock-up of sorts from the team. Inside the group, we start talking about that situation where if you mail the $open_source_project mailing list asking for help with a legitimate problem, nothing happens, but if you make up a shitty version of something and fire it off, then suddenly 50 million people show up and go OI! DO IT THIS WAY! But, three months earlier when you politely asked for help, zip, nothing, nada, zilch.

This seems quite interesting to me. I haven't really got chances to interact with mailing lists, is this really the case?

I think people are vastly over-estimating how much prize money Jack Nicklaus was winning. His grand total from winning his first 5 Masters -- an unprecedented feat -- was $120,000. Golf in his era wasn't even close to the sport today where #112 on the money list is a over a million bucks.

Golfers also have a huge built-in cost structure that team athletes don't. Coaches, caddy, doctors, are all paid for by the golfer. Team plane and team hotel? Nope, golfers pay their own travel expenses. Guaranteed contracts? Lol. If you don't perform, you don't get paid. Any injury -- major or minor -- that would sideline an MLB or NBA player (at full pay), means zero revenue for the golfer. It's no surprise that golfers seek out sponsors,.not just for the extra income but to provide some income stability and to offset all these enormous costs.

> The Banach-Tarski theorem is a consequence of things we want

Is it? I think the parent comment is saying: “maybe we shouldn’t want things that result in Banach-Tarski”

Maybe it’s a hint that the underlying axioms we’ve selected aren’t exactly what we want.

You’re right that we can’t pick and choose the results of our axioms, but we do explicitly get to pick and choose the axioms we start with. If we choose bad axioms, we get nonsensical results.

In general, it seems like we’ve picked _pretty good_ axioms that mostly give us sensible and useful results. But maybe this result that seems somewhat… odd, is an indication that those axioms have an odd corner somewhere.
Her stories gain a sharper edge if you’ve worked in similar sorts of environments before.

If you aren’t aware of how there are teams trying to “own” turf, and prevent alternatives (even one-offs), and also how the entire company tries to funnel anything that matches a keyword to that team, even when it is the most tentative match, then you aren’t aware of the challenges faced to navigate them.

You see one path (going with the flow), but don’t see what happens when you don’t follow it.

Not going with the flow is definitely valuable - it’s something any good senior person should have in their tool belt. And if you read Rachel’s stories, there are many examples of not going with the flow (and comments in the HN posts about how she’d be more effective if she didn’t go against the flow).

The challenge is that you can’t always go against the flow either. It’s celebrated if you cut through some red tape - but at some point you’ll just get a reputation of being contrary. Even if you don’t, it’s tiring to have to be the one trying to course-correct the world. Either way, you have to choose your battles. And a button on a dashboard probably isn’t worth using your capital on…

There’s a degree to which you can just go out and talk to people and build relationships. You’d be mistaken if you think that developing these relationships (as well as a reputation for solving real problems, which puts you on the right foot with many strong engineers) is an avenue that wasn’t explored.

My job is fully remote, but it's not entirely greener grass. There's almost no emotional connection to the rest of the team, I used to have work friends and now there isn't really even a veneer of that. There's also a real loss of body language and other physical signs/cues you could pick up on. There's also way more meetings and "working sessions" for projects now that don't feel super productive but it's the only way to really collaborate. I also hate having my webcam on from 8am to 6pm with a brief pause for lunch. I am thoroughly glad to not have a commute, but remote work has in a lot of ways actually been worse.

This person never said Germany is xenophobic just because they speak their own language, it's insulting people's intelligence to pretend they did.

> To say this another way, most people do not understand the long-term value of a $1 saved today. Obviously, exactly how you calculate this is a little complicated but if people realised that $1 now was worth $4 or $6 or $8 in 30 years then they would consider what they do today more carefully (and even then, some people are just weird...they will say: I am going to die before then, or I don't care...then they will get to retirement and everything is fucked).

I think for most people the idea that $1 will grow a lot in thirty years just isn't very motivating. I hear that as saying I could either have chipotle today or a fancy dinner in thirty years. okay, but thirty years is a long time and chipotle is still pretty tasty.

personally, I find it much more motivating to frame it explicitly in terms of passive income. every time I spend $20, I am forfeiting $1/year in perpetuity. every time I don't spend $20, I've added $1 to my yearly budget in retirement. instead of delaying material gratification, I am eliminating my need to work.
