Supposedly, it’s for low level system management functions. As in, stuff that could be done in hardware, but doing it in software is easier. Kindof like System Management Mode (SMM), but even lower.

There IS a flood of immigrants waiting for the gates to open. That bar chart in the article is the floodgates being closed.

That being said, there is no point in moving to this country unless you're an SWE, or smart enough to get into med school etc., so you can make your money and get out ASAP. I would leave if the salaries weren't so good.

Does Fly let you run multiple commands in separate Docker images? That's usually the pattern on how to run a web app + worker with Docker, as opposed to creating an init system in Docker and running (2) processes in 1 container (this goes against best practices). The Fly docs only mention the approach of using an init system inside of your image and also tries to talk you into running a separate VM[0] to keep your web app + worker isolated.

In either case I think the price still doubles because both your web app and worker need memory for a bunch of common set ups like Rails + Sidekiq, Flask / Django + Celery, etc..

I agree except about the vague part- it's trivial to measure stress through BP, heart rate, and other physiological measurements.
Tell that to the ticket I opened in November that got closed without an answer or even a message a month ago, related exactly to RDS export being crap.
I'm surprised no one has guessed power and thermal management as a reason for running DOS on top of QEMU/Linux.

I have no idea.

If the laptop is running FreeDOS on "bare metal", what happens when you close the lid and put it in your backpack?
It's all just social. All the suits and software and buildings are to make it seem more important than it really is IMO.
> In my small EU country, this has created a caste of low-paying jobs that only immigrants do, and the hiring process usually goes along "put out an ad, offer minimum pay" - "noone local wants to do that job for minimum wage" - "complain you can't get workers" - "get work visas for foreigners"

Where? This doesn’t sound like the Irish experience at all. Another small EU country.

Is it really a language, though? It seems simply like an implementation of an existing language. If I make a new C compiler, you probably won't ask me for example inputs for it.
RDS export also has a bug where at some point it will not allow you to make new jobs (let alone list the old ones) because something internally times out when trying to serialise the list of tables from the job. I'm surprised it worked for you, I think we have around 100k tables too and it fails.
This is a fairly minor reform as it only applies to those who hold PhD degrees. The plight of Indian-born nationals (in particular) is well-known but largely unaddressed by this bill.

But the most interesting part to me was this:

> In the defense industrial-base sector, which includes aerospace and weapons development for the U.S. military, half of the advanced STEM degree holders are foreign-born, according to the Institute for Progress.

That... is surprising. Don't those working in defense or sensitive industries need to be at a minimum permanent residents and in some cases US citizens? I mean, you need to be a US permanent resident or citizen to work at SpaceX, for example.

I'm honestly surprised the US government hasn't gone so far as to exclude Chinese-born individuals to work in certain sensitive industries given the well-documented wholesale IP theft that the CCP engages in. This too could also apply to Israel, especially given the dominance os Israeli firms in selling 0days to pretty much any foreign government.
I've seen this pattern play out online and offline countless times. A perennial favorite is dialog patterned like so

"Ethereum is ok because proof of stake will solve problem X."
"Is proof of stake currently in use?"
"Well, no, but it will be soon/someday/eventually."

I call it crypto-wishful thinking, but only for lack of a better name.
The way the US treats Indian (and other large countries, but India has it worst) H1B holders is disgusting. You can work in the US for over a decade and start a family, and still be on a visa which requires you to leave the country if you spend just a bit of time unemployed. And it makes it very hard to switch jobs.

I wish this weren't tied to getting just a PhD though. We are already over-incentivizing getting advanced degrees in the US for immigration purposes. While this technically exempts foreign degree holders from the GC quota, those people still need to get work authorization to begin with, so it does increase the incentive to do a PhD in the US for regular work immigration purposes since that also gives you work authorization via OPT.

I don't see any reason to keep per-country GC quotas in place. It punishes individuals for almost no reason - it doesn't actually prevent immigration (since we still grant work visas with temporary residence - that's a separate process from getting a GC), it just keeps immigrants in precarious positions for much longer than others purely on the basis of nationality. I can't think of a legit reason to do this that doesn't either boil down to racism/xenophobia or some kind of innumerate argument that it's unfair for countries with more immigrants to be given more GCs.
Unfortunate but it’s understandable, home theater has gone out of style and been largely replaced by soundbars.

I used to have a large 5.1 setup but over the years I’ve downsized to a hdmi enabled 2.0 setup.

It sounds like you're asking if we offer some alternative between running multiple processes in a VM, and running multiple VMs for multiple processes. What's the third option you're looking for? Are you asking if you can run Docker inside a VM, and parcel that single VM out that way? You've got root in a full-fledged Linux VM, so you can do that.
> US citizens are still required to pay income tax to the US even when working and living abroad

Strictly, this is true. You still have to file a tax return as an expat and you have to declare your income (which is why in lots of other countries, banks ask you to declare if you're American when opening an account). However in practice most expats are eligible for tax credits against foreign tax paid (under double taxation agreements), and many are exempt altogether if they're earning under a threshold. And really if you're earning more than the FEIE [0] then you can probably afford an accountant to minimize your tax liability anyway.

There should be no need to renounce citizenship unless you're really dead set on leaving the USA. You can also naturalize somewhere else without a penalty, the State Department specifically says

> A U.S. citizen may naturalize in a foreign state without any risk to his or her U.S. citizenship.

interface{} isn’t pervasive in Go, it doesn’t tend to get abused often in practice, it has nothing to do with OO at all, and it doesn’t lead to any particular ideology about unit testing. It seems like you are mistaken on all counts.
> You can work in the US for over a decade and start a family, and still be on a visa which requires you to leave the country if you spend just a bit of time unemployed. And it makes it very hard to switch jobs.

Unfortunately that's the point. These visas aren't designed to make it easy to permanently settle, they're designed to provide lower-cost labour and remove employee bargaining power.
> Shipping your PC with "some linux distro" means you have to support that linux distro.

But they do offer to ship with a Linux distro, even apart from this strange frankensystem option. Did you miss where straight Ubuntu is a pre-install option?
I wasn’t either when I started on this path.

Nice thing is that building your career to qualify for this also greatly helps your career. Like extra leverage on your efforts.

Really? I think it's a pretty obvious benefit. If you bundle something into a container, you can probably run it in kubernetes. This uniformity makes it incredibly easy to deploy and scale new applications.
I would love some JBL L100 with the 12 inch cones, but I just can't justify the $8K they are here in Australia.
> There is no flood of immigrants waiting for the gates to open.

False. There were 1.65 million border patrol apprehensions in 2021, triple the typical annual numbers during the prior decade. They were in fact waiting for the gates to open (waiting for a more pro immigration administration). That figure from 2021 roughly matches the all-time high figure from 1986.

The US would receive ten plus million additional immigrants per year, from all around the world, were it to throw the gates open to any and all. Asia, Africa and Latin America would each send several million people per year.
Anyone know of active DIY higher-er resolution spectrometer projects using image sensors? Is it possible to create a sharp image of 940-1240nm 3000 pixels across with less then $3000 in parts?

Last week I couldn't get Fly.io to spin up a simple Postgres database for my app. I've now been on Render for a week with multiple production apps, and so far it has been working fine.
Yeah that was a pain point for me using it in the past. While the docs were pretty good to setup a server for it I recall it being quite technical. Other than that pretty slick TODO manager.
"It's on the list"
No actual comments about the software, but related to its goals I have been trying to figure out how to best handle a split horizon home lab type setup. I’m halfway in on using Tailscale and halfway in on using DNS.

Makes me sorta wonder if it would be a good idea to try to split the horizon 3 ways, by responding to DNS requests differently based on whether the DNS server is contacted via a local IP, a tailscale CG NAT IP, or another IP from the internet. I guess that implies your system DNS server would go over Tailscale in the happy case—maybe not a great idea?—but it would be useful in some situations, like ensuring my local Jellyfin server is efficient when used by even other people’s devices when they are on my WiFi network, but still allowing me to tunnel to everything in a uniform way, not needing to go through the gate that clients from the internet must.

I wonder… does anyone have thoughts on that?
How does this "FreeDOS" option work better for that than selecting the straight Ubuntu option they offer, and wiping that clean?
This is correct. There’s also a $112k/y exemption, should you pay less taxes on that in your country of residence.
There is also likely a high correlation between individuals willing to uproot for a better life, and success.
> Going through the [...] H1B route is below me (as you're tied to an employer [...])

You aren't tied to your employer with H1B. Once you got an H1B, you can switch employers. There is only a minor amount of H1B transfer paperwork involved, but no more lottery or quotas or uncertainty about whether you are gonna get it or not.

> H1B spouses can't even get a work permit until there is an approved I-140 (Green card petition)

Sadly, this is still the case. Good news is that processing times for I-140 with H1B is currently sitting at about 1yr.

> We're just applying for the DV lottery every year

From someone whose parents went almost through the exact same process (which included that one year [iirc 2011 or 2012] when USCIS had a bug and sent the DV lottery winner email to those who didn't actually get selected, which my family fell under), I genuinely wish you the best of luck. This was extremely stressful for everyone involved, and we ended up just going through the H1B process without ever really winning the DV lottery.

And I still, to this day, have occasional nightmares of losing it all and being kicked out of the country. Which makes me scream in my sleep, and I feel really guilty for my partner being woken up by this. Happens at least once every few months, despite me being a US citizen for a while at this point. Though in my case, I think it was fueled by my extremely strong distaste for living in my country of origin (which isn't in EU), not the process of getting permanent residency in the US.

Legit, I am rooting for you, and I hope things work out in your situation, regardless of whether you get it through the DV lottery or whichever other way.
Not sure, but possibly taller than any available towers.
This. I appreciate discussions across the aisle, as it's the only way that we, as a society, can solve the problems facing the world today. But when basic facts get thrown out the window and politicians can no longer distinguish between the propaganda they spew to play "to the base" vs the verifiable facts useful to having a coherent discussion about how to solve a problem, it is impossible to make forward progress.

Twitter is an echo chamber amongst a lot of journalists, and so is Fox news. Shock-jocks used to be in the fringes (like Howard Stern), but that seems to be the only way to be profitable in the mainstream media these days.

It is depressingly sad that local newspapers which were once pillars of their communities and able to fund deep-dive investigative journalism that enabled reporting on complex issues and corruption have now almost entirely vanished. Removing the profits from newspapers and replacing it with algorithmic sale of ads on the internet at scale has not, in my opinion, been a net good for society. And I don't think it is possible to address these issues in the current political environment.
Vercel and Github pages would be better IMO if it's a static site.
Love the look of those, I'll have to listen to them. $5000 here in the states.
This just depends on how disciplined you are. We use a system where backend errors are logged to slack, and then we treat addressing the source of the errors as an immediate priority. Keeping the SNR high is a priority. Plus generally being very selective about what goes into the channel.
It does deprive the US companies that don’t have EU presence from access to a major talent pool.
The same is true of ECS, but with a much simpler API, much tighter integration with load balancers, a no-charge control plane, and not having to upgrade every cluster every 3-6 months.

489K? That's terrible memory management! I wouldn't start a dos PC with less than 600k.
The convenience / sound quality balance has shifted because things like Sonos are very convenient, even though the sound quality has, if anything, gone down for the price. Certainly the convenience of streaming has curtailed the AVR market, since streaming has shit audio.

But SPDIF is limiting you to DD at best which is 640kbit/s IIRC. Steaming services are often DD+ which won't go over SPDIF. I've got discs, so looking at 18Mbit/s on some soundtracks. My $600 Yamaha amp was absolutely better than an SPDIF setup.
Terrible idea. Instead, US companies should be forced to hire a minimum percentage of US citizens. If they can't find enough talent locally, this will incentivise them to upskill the local population. Paying for traineeships, college degrees, funding technical colleges, and so on. If there is a skill shortage domestically, the response should not be "let's bring in more immigrants".
Really cool! I wonder if this could be combined with a digital micromirror and compressed sensing to inexpensively recover both spectral and spatial resolution. (see: "single pixel camera")
According to the article, they already do have a Linux option.

I’d wager the FreeDOS is a legacy option because they’ve supported it in the past an figures have shown it sells. Even if those figures don’t take into account how many of those legacy FreeDOS installs were for other alternative OS like Linux (though it could also be BSD, Haiku, Illumos, ReactOS or others).

Or there genuinely might still be FreeDOS users out there. Eg running industrial applications. Though I’d wager they’d be more likely to run DosBox and not on laptops either. But “industrial applications” covers such a wide spectrum of uses so never say never.
So no? I went to the site and didn't see anything nor did a google search turn up anything
> In well-designed PoS systems, anyone can stake (perhaps with delegation) and access the same rate of return. If everyone stakes, noone is actually getting richer after we adjust for dilution.

This is fine in a vacuum where no one needs the money they make staking, but someone who is not rich is presumably staking to make money that they will spend on food/clothing/shelter. The wealthy can stake indefinitely.
> if the value dropped really hard all of a sudden, for example, it might suddenly be more viable to attack the network

In practice, users of bitcoin would simply wait a longer time for more block confirmations, namely if you estimated the cost of a double spend attack was $X you would just wait for block confirmations with a total of more than $X of fees + block rewards such that the transaction you are confirming is deep enough in the blockchain to not be economical to include in the double spend attack. Note that the slowness of difficulty adjustments is also a defense here against the further problem of $X decreasing very quickly such that a transaction you had already confirmed becomes viable to attack. Because difficulty changes only every 2016 blocks, if all mining stopped and $X theoretically became 0, in practice you won't get to the next difficulty as no new blocks would be found, so $X in practice wouldn't move.

I'm confused by your confusion. Pretty clearly, Musk, as acquirer, was made privy to the methodology Twitter uses to estimate and report the number of bot accounts. This methodology is a trade secret, and therefore was disclosed under an NDA. Therefore Musk cannot tell anyone the details (until he buys the company, then he can do whatever he wants).

People focused on the bot checking approach because the NDA question is pretty dull and whether he technically did or not depends primarily on how paperwork was filed.
> 2. File persistence is fine but not typically necessary. S3 works just fine.

I'm so glad you pointed this out. Cloud-native development is an important factor in newly architected systems. Defaulting to an S3 API for persistent I/O brings loads of benefits over using traditional file I/O, and brings significant new design considerations. Until a majority of software developers learn exactly how and why to use these new designs, we'll be stuck with outmoded platforms catering to old designs.
Up until the mid 1800s you had to be rich, at least solidly middle class, to afford the passage across the Atlantic. There’s maybe 70 years of uncontrolled immigration not gated by very high costs before immigration became unpopular enough for restrictions to become large.
Who exactly do you think is going to be building the expensive infrastructure necessary to capture this low-value waste energy?

Sure, there’s conceivably times of low demand when some energy would otherwise go unused. But a “ hydroelectric dam 1000s of km from civilisation”? Heat extractors in Vegas hotels? You’re imagining a fantasy world.

Further, what you’re ignoring is that none of this is “waste”. It’s already being stored or used. Finding new demand for it simply makes it more expensive for existing users.
Saying being against completely free and open immigration is a far right talking point just normalizes the far right. Most people are against completely open immigration. I’d rather people not think that it’s okay to be far right because anything else is pro-unlimited immigration.

I don’t think imposing strict per-country quotas is really the solution, but I do think per-case scrutiny is a good idea. People bring their own culture and even their country’s problems with them when moving to another country. In modest numbers, people adapt to the home country and become indistinguishable from the locals after a few years. If it’s not limited to some extent, you end up with some unwilling to adapt in any way because they have a social bubble. With that, the problems many people sought to escape start becoming endemic in their new country.

Before there’s some tirade about me being racist or “far right”, I’m neither. I’m an immigrant myself. I often avoid people from my home country because of the reasons described above.
The language might not have that. E.g. latin doesn't have a word that corresponds to "the". Languages may indicate conjunctions or some types of prepositions or determiners by changing the case of a noun or the conjungation of a verb.
Honestly.. just drop 400 to 500 bucks on a recent Marantz or Denon amp, your experience will be infinitely better. Five bucks might have been extortion and/or theft. Also, a decent sub (or two ;)) and spending time tuning it to your room, makes maybe more difference than anything else.
I fully support immigration but it is possible for there to be too much, especially if other policies (like building housing) are not in sync. Look at Canada: they have proportionately more immigration per-year than the US and it's likely a large contributing factor to their housing crisis.

Another thing to address is immigration being heavily concentrated in certain cities. I don't think people should be punished based on where they want to move to, or limited from immigrating to certain places instead of others, but the government should probably try to incentivize immigration to be more dispersed.

That said, I think the US could definitely take in more skilled immigrants than we do now. Actually the majority of immigration to the US is not through skilled-labor programs but instead things like family unification. That's kind of silly.
That Snipping Tool is moving but I don't know from or to where, when or what and why.
What kind of article is that? A summary of a few Reddit and Twitter posts, almost seems like it's been autogenerated. A human journalist would maybe have thought of including the info by how much fuel costs for combustion engines have increased over the same period.
