Feel free to visit it to find the entire script. It is much too large to post here. What is a crawler learning from that program that would be lost if the equivalent code was bundled as WASM instead? Why couldn't its WASM parser pull out the same information? The JS/WASM runtime in the browser has to produce the same result regardless of which encoding is chosen, so everything will be encoded in there somehow.
It's a semantic argument, but I'd say they're clearly not language constructs. The format of a comment is completely unspecified by almost any language. In the cases of something like JavaDocs, it may be structured, but it's a very different language than the primary. The only mechanism provided by the language is the 1- or 2- character escape hatch for exiting that language and entering unstructured comment-land. I suppose emergency exits are "provided" by a movie theater, but I wouldn't call them a function of the theater, nor a normal part of the theater's usage (hopefully!).

AFAIK you need a visa first, most people I know that did this (myself included) first had a visa first: H1, L1, O1, etc. Then their employer sponsored a green card.

H1-B is the most common for tech workers, unfortunately due to quotas it can be pretty hard to get. Even if you get the job, your petition could be denied randomly because there were too many applications for the year.
Wow someone really ought to let the rest of the world outside of America know.

Outdoor dining sucks in most North American cities because you get to eat right next to a bunch of loud, polluting car traffic zooming by a few feet away. Last time I ate outside in Chicago I could reach out and touch an idling minivan. No thank you. New York City keeps their garbage, most of the time, again, within touching or at the very least smelling distance of outdoor eateries. The city is loud because it's overrun with automobile traffic. Who the hell would want to eat in that environment?

Perhaps we could work on making the rest of our cities look and feel like the parks that are usually popular places to bring lunch, since, you know, they're quiet and feel safe.
> They are all fast

When you say "fast" - I assume you mean runtime speed, not time to market/developer speed? Because FTA (quoting Pete Hunt in regard to React itself):

> Just like you can drop into assembler with C and beat the C compiler, you can drop into raw DOM operations and DOM API calls and beat React if you wanted to

Even the React people acknowledge that just working with plain-old Javascript is going to beat React (or Svelte, or X, Y, Z) is going to perform better at run time, they're just offering to speed up the development cycle - always with the tradeoff of runtime performance.

How do the jobs pay, outside FAANG or whatever? The money for developing embedded software was out of line (far too low) with the difficulty of those jobs and the importance of those systems even before those systems had "IoT" sprinkled all over them.

> So the need for embedded Linux developers is increasing and the experience base out there isn't great. Again, having an RPi in your desk drawer doesn't make you an embedded Linux dev.

Maybe things have changed, but in the past there hasn't been much financial incentive for devs to build up those skills beyond the "RPi in the desk drawer" (zing!) level. "Work hard, make a lot less than a web dev, be less hirable in the future because of your niche skills." I'm speaking as someone who actually did look into what training myself on some of Wind River's products would cost, about eight years ago, and looked into what the jobs paid.

edit: I can see by looking at a grandparent comment that we're probably in agreement
Yes, plenty of people. In fact, 2022 was the highest recorded immigration in history [1].

The fact remains UK has one of the best university systems and best opportunities for skilled work outside of the US. Yeah the Tory gov is trying their best to destroy the country but this kind of institutional bias is hard to wreck. It's very similar to the US - which has an amazing university system that continues to prop up the economy over the long term, despite how destructive/insane the government policies are.

I'd also argue that for lots of immigrants, things like the NHS and general safety net make the UK far more appealing than the US. Also if you're from a former British colony, it feels a lot more familiar - so you see large numbers of south/south east asian nationals who prefer to immigrate to the UK over the US.

On top of all that, it can also be significantly harder to get a visa to live in the US.

> This is what we call being talented for something, it's not necessarily related to the one's IQ.

I think you’re just playing word games here.

My slightly different short definition of IQ is that it is an indicator of the capacity to learn, extend, and expand on new ideas (with exceptions for mental blocks, which exist even in higher IQ people). That is, it is not just speed and/or quantity.

When you take two people with a large IQ difference and have them learning, extending, and expanding in a wide range of unfamiliar domains, the high IQ person will consistently do more and better.

This is not merely talent.

Einstein quite frequently messed up his math. But he was lucky to be surrounded by some excellent minds that regularly pulled him out of holes and kept him on the right track. One person's intelligence doesn't matter at all if they are surrounded by idiots, or they are stuck in environments that focuses their minds on bullshit (eg Google - lot bright people there working on pure shit)
While I agree with your premise, once you charge someone for something, even if it is $1/year, then they start expecting something for that money above and beyond what you provided earlier. In other words, now you've got to budget for real customer support and that will undoubtedly cost you more than the $1/year you're receiving as payment from that customer.
Right, I don't really know how it is in other countries, but in France, the subsidies for poor people (that's obviously a shortcut and is more complicated) don't go through income tax but other systems. There is only one thing that applies to everyone which is work-related expanses (like the fuel cost to go to your work), but which has a 10% rebate if you don't declare anything, so you declare only if it's higher than that.

I would guess maybe 20% of people can go through the fully automatic part, but I have no source for that.

It troubles me deeply that we in America often cannot make an argument about advocating something without using EU as a crutch. Both left and right wings of the political sphere. Examples:

Ok: We shouldn’t allow abortion beyond trimester.

Better: We shouldn’t allow abortion beyond trimester, that’s how it works in most EU countries.

Ok: Vaccine mandates are not cool.

Better: Vaccine mandates are not cool, just look at Sweden.

Ok: Voting should require IDs.

Better: Voting should require IDs, just look at EU.

My country has a deep malaise of insecurity and inability to rationally think for itself. We were leading our ideas with basis of good arguments in 1950-1980s, then came all the things we want to idealize about EU.

Nothing against EU, they should be promoting independent thought and not copy Americans either. Please don’t make arguments about what specific examples I gave. They may not be accurate but there are many more like this. The point to argue is not about vaccines or whatever, it’s about independent thought and policy.

I'm a junior/intermediate fullstack developer who enjoys keeping up to date on new technologies and always learning. The last couple years I've been doing contract work for a consulting company, mainly building a document management web app with React/TypeScript. Now I'm looking for an opportunity to work on a larger team of talented developers where I can learn from others and also share my knowledge. Looking for front-end, back-end, or fullstack role with a slight preference towards back-end. Open to learning new languages.

There are problems that have to do with the systems built on top of React if not React itself.

It is not unusual at all to find some "simple" UI update causes the render() method to be called 20 times.

You might blame the application developer for this but other than "keep all the state at the top level of the application and pass it down in props", React doesn't provide a systematic answer for handling state in apps if data is flowing up, down and sideways. There are a number of half-baked libraries such as Redux, MobX that maybe help some of the time but frequently make very simple application logic very complicated to write. When I started writing high-complexity SPAs circa 2005 or so I realized right away that you had to be very systematic about what happened when an AJAX call returned and where the data goes, something the industry still hasn't entirely learned.

It is possible to make React applications work right but I think people work harder at it than they have to and there is a lot of reciting shibboleths that people don't understand (hooks for one thing) and the cost of it is the render function getting called over and over and over again. But maybe it is not a bug but a feature for the advertising supported web where every rerender and layout shift creates a chance you'll accidentally click on an an ad when you are trying to click on something else. Most studies seem to show that psychologically normal people of normal intelligence in possession of their faculties never choose to click on ads and maybe Google's whole business is driven by accidental clicks caused by layout shifts and doing something about those layout shifts would put them out of business.

> Any material used in a classroom, made available in a school library, or included on a reading list contains content that is pornographic or prohibited under s. 847.012, is not suited to student needs and their ability to comprehend the material presented, or is inappropriate for the grade level and age group for which the material is used. --Text from the bill.

"Inappropriate for the grade level" is so ambiguous that there's basicly no way for people to know if a book is OK or not. Ambiguous laws create fear and paranoia, as ordinary people are unsure if they're in violation of them.

I have a breadth of experience, and am an iOS veteran. I've worked for companies of all sizes- from enterprises of 10,000 employees to early stage startups where I’m the engineering department. I’ve worked with startups for the last 3 years of my career. I have the flexibility and discipline to provide value to whatever team I’m on. I've proven capable of developing, iterating, and deploying quickly, with ease. I'm clear and concise with my questions and quick to understand all the needs of any given project.

It looks like it takes 1500 tons of concrete per mile of highway, and a ton of concrete produces 900 kg of CO2, which I will estimate to be 1 ton of CO2. So, 1500 tons of CO2 / mile of highway. It is said to last 60 years, so 25 tons CO2 / year.

It appears to take somewhere between 115 - 215 tons of steel per mile of highway track, but you're going to want double track if you're comparing to highways, so 200 - 400 tons of steel. Steel produces somewhere between 1 - 3 tons of CO2 per ton of steel depending on how it is produced. So say 300 tons of steel at 2 tons CO2 / 1 ton of steel. So 600 tons of CO2 per mile of railroad track. Track lasts from 2 - 40 years, so if we say 20 years on average, we get 30 tons / year.

Maybe highways don't last 60 years, or track lasts longer than 20. Also, if you are thinking of high speed passenger rail, it uses a lot of concrete so that it can be on an elevated track. But it looks like concrete highways and railroads are comparable as fair as CO2 from construction. Certainly rail isn't so "vastly" better that we need to be concerned about phalanxes of FUD.

Now, operating costs in terms of CO2 probably favor railroads pretty heavily, at least for freight. Since passenger rails is a lot less dense in terms of cargo, the story for passenger rail might be different.

(These figures are sourced from asking DDG "co2 per ton concrete", etc)
