Find a recruiter. We all get these emails/messages from them via LinkedIn and shrug them off, but they're insanely valuable in situations like these.
Apply to ~10 jobs a day, every single day, but don't work more than ~8h on it each day. Treat it like your new job: getting a job.

I applied to approx. 100 jobs, got 5 interviews and 2 offers over the course of two weeks, and the job I accepted was one the recruiter set up for me.

The recruiters cost nothing to you, they get paid by the company if you stick around for 3 months (or something). I stayed at the company I was hired into for 9 years.

We should separate race from lifestyle: Roma, and nomads or travellers.

The British government doesn't, but it does show the "White Gypsy/Traveller" ethnicity has 31.2% "Never worked or long-term unemployed", higher than any other group [1].

Particular types of petty crime obviously increased when travellers settled (temporarily) on some land near where I grew up. It happened every 18 months or so. However, this doesn't show up in arrest statistics, so I think it's that society is accustomed to the existing petty crime and notices the change.

My wife has been on a worker visa, and while our situations have been different than yours, I can sympathize with the hopeless feeling on that front. It is a terrible feeling, and it is truly a feeling of hopelessness. My one recommendation is to focus on being in the present and what you can do right now. That sounds cliche, but you gotta focus on things that are within your control at this moment. While the layoffs and U.S. visa system are terrible and broken, it's ok to accept that brokenness, but it is bad to wallow in it and let your thoughts escape you and feedback over and over. Think about what you can do now, now as in the next 5 minutes, then 30 minutes, then 1 hour. Hug your spouse, cook your next meal, apply for jobs, etc. Maybe take a day or two without applying for jobs and take a hike or a small day trip or something with your spouse.

What about contacting your former company? What about your former boss or bosses there, a colleague, HR person, or all of these? If the layoffs were 6 months ago, it's always possible they are rehiring, even for your exact former position. Don't be afraid to explain your situation to them.

If you are on a dependent visa, does that mean you aren't in danger of having to leave the U.S.? I'm not sure if your spouse is a U.S. citizen or not, but are you allowed to apply for work authorization under whatever dependent visa you're on?

If you have any amount of insurance, please try to find a doctor, any doctor including your PCP, and get recommended to see a psychiatrist and therapist as soon as possible. If you don't have insurance, I'm not exactly sure of the steps, but you could still see a previous PCP or any family doctor to get some pointers and advice of how to move forward. That is what they are there for, and you definitely need it. Please follow through on this. You gotta make the phone calls.

In the meantime, do your best to eat well, get sleep, and try to work out in any way possible, even something as simple as morning and evening walks. You should see a doctor, but these are ways to help your body relieve itself of stress.
Oh that's a shame. NBD definitely existed in 2001, but they must have decided not to include the module in the build :-(

I agree that NBD would be heavy on the network and would probably trigger the "20 times" bug in that useless Realtek driver.

> Why is a white minority a bad thing?

I addressed this question: "Or will that leave them as individualists in a country dominated by inter-group competition, as current polls suggest?"

Of course this is not guaranteed - once Whites are a minority (in the US, not just globally), other races in the US may also turn away from in-group preference, and the culture might turn away from harping on white privilege all the time. It's just that that hasn't happened yet.

The problem is that shareholders and "activist investors" aren't exactly thinking about the long term. It's in their best interests to covert a company's goodwill into hard cash, do a series of share buybacks with the money, and then get out of the position.

Powerful idea.
I think boredom is maybe the wrong thing. I can't be too engaged in something. That seems to sabotage the process. I can't play video games or watch some exciting movie (or scroll HN ;-)

You would be surprised, but that was the plan in 50s and 70s, when we got a people from Pakistan and South East Asia to come to work in the factories. They did not go back and settled here. The actual result is that they stay here and bring their families and contribute. Which is great, in my opinion.
So, the same reason we can't have the convenience of pre-filled tax returns from the IRS? People need to be able to feel the pain of the taxes they pay, because it might help bring them closer to the ideological conservative viewpoint.
On the other hand, when you are laid off and looking for people to socialize with, your other laid off friends will be the most available.

Assuming the companies are not hiding the fees for shits and giggles, we should see an impact albeit not as large as the entire fees but not $0 either.
If I had to guess, the answer to both is some stolen session issue - either personal device or a device that the user was logged into once had saved login information, which the attacker gained access to. However, to reduce the chance of needing to verify any information/login again, they left the default shipping address (as changing it would have A] left an address trail, and B] been suspicious).

But again, that's my guess - I'll leave solid answers to the actual security researched in the comment chain X)
No, there are many showrunners. It’s essentially just a management-like writing position for any of the thousands of scripted programs that produced each year.

> Google and Apples's

... and Linux (well, Ubuntu specifically). I'm staring down the need to upgrade from Ubuntu LTS 20.04 to Ubuntu LTS 22.04 because some software I maintain now relies on GLIBC v2.32, which is an absolute bear to back-port. The party line is "So just upgrade," but there's no guarantee my hardware is compatible with Ubuntu LTS 22.04 because the vendor doesn't support that config and I'm not really interested in dealing with all the joys of figuring out every fiddly-widget little config on a laptop to make it work myself.

Microsoft is nearly unique in caring that much about backwards compatibility. It's the value-add they bring to the market these days relative to the competition.
The Evolution of Top Incomes in the United States [pdf]
Python is mostly just a glue code nowadays, all data loading, processing and computations are handled by low level languages (C/C++), python is there just to instruct those low level libraries how to compose into one final computation.
>If the cleaning fee is e.g once per trip or once every few days, smear that cost across the cost of the stay for your effective nightly rate.

This misses the point that it's useful to have the one-time costs separated from the nightly costs so that consumers can better understand if they can get a better nightly cost by extending their stay (or even ideally from having options over those fixed costs.) It's the same logic as separating shipping costs from unit costs in online sales, because you can often save on shipping by spreading the cost across multiple units and it benefits the consumer to know this.

>economic advantage of being a huge multinational corporation

I just left a huge multinational corporation that despite its economic power was wasting millions/billions and not achieving anything in the tech space due to huge mismanagement, as everyone at the top was completely clueless but well connected and good at bullshitting and too busy fighting private wars just so they can climb the corporate ladder to coast for massive paychecks. Basically very wealthy crabs in a bucket.

Money and talent aren't everything. You also need competent leadership who can steer the ship in the right direction and are motivated to bring value to the company not just to themselves.

Great creation is never done in isolation.

However, I think there's a mismatch of definitions. Getting to a destination, and seeing the big picture usually takes a lot of minds to envision. Once you know the destination, then in most industries, it falls back on the individual to figure out how to get to that destination. That's the quiet part.

In the software industry, it's both collaborative and solo at the same time. How many projects have you worked on where someone comes in and clobbers code you've just committed and then there's merge conflicts and wasted effort trying to understand what they were doing? If that hasn't happened to you yet, you're lucky. So on the one hand, agree, you're both trying to build something together, but most likely you're both off in your corner figuring out how to contribute your part.

I do think some of the loneliest parts of creation are when you see something no one else does and you can't really explain it without building it first. The amount of effort and energy required to do that is higher than normal and the fear that it could backfire weighs on you.
That's not Cedar or what Cedar solves. Cedar isn't replacing IAM, AWS's own policy DSL. It's a way for you to create your own IAM, and model it as you like. It has its own specification, and embedding Cedar into applications is a use case. I expect they're open sourcing it.

The hosted offering is AWS runs an evaluation engine at scale ensuring it's low latency so your own customers can access resources gated by your own entity and policy definitions.
But no matter the bias, you can get some facts that should allow you to make some judgements like Russia invaded Ukraine to "defend" breakaway republics it propped up itself by trying to blockade Ukraine's two largest cities. Russia is the aggressor and is shooting rockets at civilians and doing generally bad stuff like torturing people. That is "biased" but it's biased toward truth. Seeing anything anti-Russian as a government shill is going to lead you to seeing conspiracy theories everywhere because Russia legitimately is the bad guy here.
That's funny, there are no pigeons where I live. I recently came back from holiday and I enjoyed looking at them and analyse their seemingly erratic alas scavenging behaviour all along.

Python is just the gluing language. All the heavy lifting happens in CUDA or CuBLAS or CuDNN or so.

Most optimizations for saving memory is by using lower precision numbers (float16 or less), quantization (int8 or int4), sparsification, etc. But this is all handled by the underlying framework like PyTorch.

There are C++ implementations but they optimize on different aspects. For example:

i think googling it would be helpful, but in an overly general way, human exceptionalism is the idwa that there is sometjing unique or special associated with the human experience or with human experience.

The broader point i was making in the original comment is agaisnt this sentiment. Humans abiluty to unserstand why things happen bears little relevance to them happening. We now know little if anything about why the human consious experience happens or why it works, yet here we are.

Humans can make gun powder or a water wheel with no understanding of electron orbital theory or an concept of gravity that outlines orbital mechanics.

The shocking effectiveness of piling up large amounts of complexity seems to be sufficient many of the phenomena that humans seem to desure a much more mechanistic explanatiom for. In this sense, it could be that complexity is all you need.

and to bring it full circle, what about the complexity we see in non human, non animal systems? if complexity is all you need, what might be happening beyond the veil of human assumptioms around the consious experience?

"The UK would face economic collapse without significant immigration."

Demographics of our country guarantee a demographic collapse. Not as bad as say Japan or Germany, but enough of an impact to maintain wage inflation. The level of immigration that would be required to reverse that is currently not acceptable to our electorate (in the main). Which is unfortunate.

Solved by this:

> AirBnb should show initial totals with it included, so you're never surprised by it.

The reason I put it that way is that the "smear that cost across the cost of the stay for your effective nightly rate" is hiding a number that I then have to reverse engineer if I'm looking at stays of different lengths. Since I work remotely, I could easily stay an extra week or two, but I won't do it in a place that is going to gouge me for cleaning I don't need.
Alternatively, just program the characters to be incapable of perceiving the gaps in the simulation. Which is totally possibly happening considering we are far from understanding the entirety of how the universe works.

I think it mostly boils down to how trivial it is to entertain yourself these days with a smartphone.

I was just on a weekend beach trip with friends and, at the end of the day, we considered playing some
card games, but frankly we all wanted to just chill on our phones in bed for the last
hour of the day, and we chuckled that we would have opted for the card games back in the days without smartphones.

It’s hard for going out and socializing to compete with solitary smartphone time. And it’s easy to avoid ever doing the former, especially once you need it the most.
Yes, it's a general visualization tool. But it depends on what you need for your data. Dimensions in non-numeric tabular data can be used with a 'count' to make charts of the distribution of values in the dimensions.
The webview control based on the internet explorer engine was rather important. Internet Explorer the application less so.
Regardless of what people should have done, or did do, it serves as a stark lesson for everyone to never take a one-sided story (without accompanied compelling evidence) at face value.
This is one of the reasons a lot of people see the Microsoft anti-trust suit as a mistake (in that it wasn't based on any sound legal theory, and history has shown that every MS competitor just did what MS did and didn't get smacked for it; essentially, the government stepped on the neck of one private company in an asymmetrical way because the administration at the time didn't like their face.)
No mention of the ludicrous conglomeration of mobile phone fees?
I think layoffs tend to always look good to management and investors because of the pareto principle (80% of the work being done by 20% of the people). You certainly get a short term cost saving. The downside though is that other 20% is not necessarily stuff you want your best performers working on, and there's always going to be another 20%.
If your buddies are going through a stressful time in their life then you should be spending even more time with them if possible.
I think chat GPT could be held up as a leg of support in this regard.
Right. That sort of thing is why I don't think their advantage is the number of engineers or innovation/talent.
A lot of extremely uninformed advise in this thread. Just so you know H1B has a hard cap with no exceptions: 6 years after which you cannot work in the US, unless you have PERM approved, or live outside the US for 1 full calendar year and apply for the H1B CAP again. H1B transfers will not help OP if he has only 1 year left because it's not enough time to get PERM approved. Advise like this can be harmful, immigration law in the US is very complex and full of pitfalls that get people deported.
You can do it once, but probably not every day.
Unbundling is a real thing, with some pronounced second order affects. The first order effect of charging for in flight food service and checked bagged is purely redistributive, but rise of low cost, heavily unbundled airlines has increased the total market for air travel, increasing net economic activity in the sector.
It's a good idea to move away from IE, but it's fairly easy to get around the block. When the Edge prompt comes up, roll over the Edge icon on the taskbar and use the X to close the prompt. Then, click on the IE icon to unminimize the IE window.

Other options include, but are not limited to:

* disabling the IE add-on that triggers the prompt (IEToEdgeBHO): you can disable it via group policy [0] or registry [1] and IE will function as normal, or

* running Internet Explorer without add-ons: iexplore.exe -extoff, or

* opening Internet Options, go to Programs tab, click "Manage add-ons", then clicking "Learn more about toolbars and extensions"

I've also seen other ways of launching IE using VBA or other legacy features. Some of these methods also work on Windows 11.

It's a lot of time, but it's probably more important that it's psychologically destructive. As soon as you've invested any meaningful time into an acquisition discussion, it becomes very difficult to manage the company as a going concern and to make good long-term decisions about it. You're explicitly contemplating ending the company.

You mostly don't need the "don't talk to corpdev" advice once you've found product/market fit, unit profitability, whatever; it's more obvious whether the discussion is a waste of time or not. But early on, it's an especially hazardous thing to do, because you're not anchored to a specific conception of how your business is going to operate.

The difference is that Microsoft doesn’t just give you Edge as the default, they actively try to get you to switch to Edge if you’re using something else, with random notifications, pop-ups in Settings, making it harder to switch to other browsers, making browser links opened by the OS (i.e. search bar, help) open in Edge, etc…
