Hi, Peter. Thank you for taking questions again.

Would you recommend a 3rd year(2 more years to go) US PhD student with moderate research portfolio( + strong recommender )to look into EB2/NIW or O1 visa? The end goals are to immigrate to the US and avoid H1B lottery.

This does sound very interesting. I started playing with https://two.js.org/ for a browser game but the event system proved a challange. The typescript focus also looks promising. Will give it a try.
Go is my goto language, so it is nice to see a desktop environment using it.

Despite my interest, I am curious about the motivation for another DE. Is the primary goal to use Go and/or the Fyne library to create a functional DE? Or, is there a larger vision for this DE that Go and/or Fyne enables?
Ten years ago I stepped away from the Microsoft ecosystem, in large part due to said ecosystem drifting away from industry best practices at the time, and also a conservative development culture formed around this ecosystem that did not want to acknowledge the outside world. So if I were starting a new project eight years ago, .NET would've been one of the last technologies I would've picked, despite big love for C#.

When I was starting a new project a couple of years back, I went with .NET 6 and never looked back. The Core branch (and subsequent versions) fixed a lot of the issues I had with the original .NET Framework. Happily developing with VSCode on a Mac and deploying to ARM-based Linux instances in AWS. To the original question, the only right answer is you should pick what you know unless there is some overriding reason (e.g. performance). When building a backend API, I'd personally pick C# over JS all day.

They would have to do the leg work to ensure that the seller is the legitimate rights holder.
I'd be willing to accept that maybe half of the sales are non US at 50% sales price. That's still around $500k, which still sounds very high. I'm not seeing any reason for the developer to be lying here and the actual range of predictions on your link is (17-90), so I'm ignoring that. Still seems high, indifferent to whether it was risky.
Thanks for the response. My feeling is that maybe in about 10 years Air-to-water Heat pumps will be more common in the US and we might have a better chance of getting a reasonable installation quote
I first heard about Stripe in it's early days because a friend of mine wore a stripe shirt to a LAN party. It's not the first time I've discovered something new by seeing a shirt or a hoodie or some other piece of clothing.

This is taking artistic license too far. It's different than an explosion making a sound in space in a movie. It's missing the core point of the thing, which could easily been illustrated. Bad math and bad art.
The image in the article is of hazelnuts (I originally wrote "stones" then quickly edited it), and it's not a 3-4-5 triangle.

3-4-5 describes the length of each side - if you count the lengths of the triangle drawn in the image (the lines of chalk visible between the nuts on each side), it's only 2-3-4. To get 3-4-5 you're counting the number of nuts on each side, but those aren't lengths - those are the number of points marking the start/end of each unit length.
The link tax is a red herring and a poor understanding on the part of legislators. The real issue is pre-adtech publishers kept 100% of ad revenue and double click now takes a massive cut (which they briefly touch on).

All that cash flowing into MTV is real people’s jobs and livelihood being drained away - it’s also the reason search is entering a utility collapse curve since AI can generate unlimited click bait.

Double click will end up killing google, it’s already too late to go back.
Of course it does. The responsible thing is to only go to a college that you can afford.

I've had some bad patches but I don't think they were unique to my profession. Sometimes it was my boss. The tech landscape in the late '90s at Internet hyper-growth companies, when I started, is way different than it is now--I, like you, would be pretty surprised by any company taking an explicit stance against "mental health". But I'm also different now--I've had enough experience to be both in a different place in my career and to know what is or isn't a good fit for me in terms of work style.

My experience, your experience, Vadim's experience--interesting as anecdotes but none of it tells us anything about the "profession" without numbers.

So my intuition is that Vadim overstates the case as a whole, but it's still interesting as an anecdote because what I think he's feeling is pretty common and it's interesting enough to read what worked for him and what advice he has for someone who feels like that.

I do think that in reality it's rare for an engineering leader to take "mental health" days off but all of my engineering leaders have taken plenty of time off and encouraged others to do the same. I haven't worked at a death march cadence in probably almost a decade (and I quit that job pretty quickly when it started). I don't think your experience is homogeneously true, I think people are pretty reticent to take time off (it's why "unlimited PTO" even works in practice) and it's probably worth it to continue asking why.
And now I know why the option in the menu in Final Fantasy 7 for "calling" other player characters (to rearrange them / form a new party) is titled "PHS". Mystery solved, 23 years later.

By today's standards, being able to afford a three bedroom home in the LA metro area and raise two children on a single income, and not merely survive but be financially comfortable, isn't just a 'modest suburban lifestyle', it's an unimaginably rare privilege. Even if teachers are unionized, they aren't on the extreme high end of the income range for working class people.
The reasons why asbestos is harmful do not apply to PTFE.

As for micro-plastics, if your claim is that PTFE is no better, but no worse, than, say, polyethylene, well. I suspect you're wrong, and that it's better, but no matter: at that point there's no reason to single it out.
I agree. But it still has not been fixed or even acknowledged broadly. And with each new successive wave of innovation (like AI), it seems they are able to simply take up all the profits that could exist, without working hard and competing fairly for it.
This is great synchronicity. I just recently needed this. And I needed it in a Rust project as well, can't get any better.

Can't speak for what Google plans to do in the future, but currently news results in search can either be a "top stories" block at the top of the results, or regular search results. In "top stories" you get just the headline and maybe an associated picture. In regular search results you get the headline, and a fragment of the first sentence of the article.

If seeing the headline and maybe a tiny fragment of the first words is enough to remove commercial viability, there's a lot of things that do that. Physical newspapers/magazines are generally displayed in a way that provides that information, for instance.

I'm sure there are people who search, see the headline, and don't click through. But the counterargument is that other people do click through, and without the search results then the news website wouldn't have received any of that traffic.

Perhaps-ironically, it looks like a full AI-synthesis approach would be a way to get around paying the news orgs under this law. If the Google results just give a synthesized blend of news from across the web without linking to anything in particular...
I really like the visual aspect of your implementation
Hello!!
Google limits for me are:

300 Read requests per minute
300 Write request per minute

Since Ive just launched it, that number is far far away from being reach. (If it happens, the number can be increased).

Regarding the SSL cert, some other users pointed the problem but I can`t replicated. Tried with many different browsers. Im not sure about whats happening, it`s always working for me but I will keep digging.

Thank you for your comment bro :)

Hi Peter,

We have an employee that just won the H1B lotto. We don't actually pay employees any cash (all future payments). Will this be an issue?

Thanks!
I wouldn't trust this article. The author seems to be a terminally online person with crab mentality. The arguments aren't particularly persuasive and seem to be obsessive and emotional about a random paid search engine. Move along.
> My biggest issue with these cancellations is that they don't seem to be fixing the underlying issue at all — that you can't default on your student loans

Lenders being selective about student loans is part of a larger feedback loop. That you can't default on your student loans removes a strong signal for a student to realize what they are planning to do isn't deemed productive by society, but that doesn't mean a well educated student won't figure this out on their own even in the lack of this strong signal.

A well educated person shouldn't need a lot of external feedback to figure out if you spend more than you earn, bad things will happen.

The root cause is schools are completely failing at their job of laying good foundations for generations of tomorrow and are not getting the feedback they need to be useful and political tricks like this further distorts the feedback loop.

This means students are not well educated - they might be able to recite Shakespeare or vomit out coding algorithms from a book but most of them lack logical thinking, clarity of mind, decision making that includes knowledge of finances and projections so you can answer the question "out of all the things I can do, what should I be doing right now?"

So they go and land themselves in a mess and then politicians exploit them by digging a deeper hole for them and their children.
Yeah, but not in the way of being upside-down, for example.
Does that matter though? If they control the means of getting to the user for entire segments, it makes alternatives less viable. Users don’t have much choice (it’s not like there is another competing news UI element that a user can choose to occupy those parts of the screen) and there isn’t really fair competition.
I have no issue with it using GTK under the hood, as long as it doesn't inherit the philosophy of "dependencies are installed using your system package manager" to the degree that GTK does.

Another thing I would like to avoid is the philosophy of "the application binary doesn't come with its dependencies bundled, the user should install them using the system package manager". Unfortunately, many frameworks have this philosophy but, apparently, Flutter doesn't.
Function over form is a false equivalency, a modernist fetish.

Architect's first commandment should be to strive to a perfect integration of beauty, usefulness and durability. There are many real world examples, so it's not a trade-off.

Plus, that "strong focus on aesthetics" seem to be a throwaway comment in the report, and it is disputed by the design studio who built the bridge.
Election Data Is Vital to Voting Rights. So Why Is It So Hard to Track Down?

It applied logical reasoning, just not quite enough of it. When it gets 10x better, which it will, it will be smarter than either of us.

That's correct, as evidenced by the fact that the systemd change to dlopen() liblzma was proposed and merged before the backdoor was discovered.
> If we then replace white-collar workers with AI and blue-collar workers with robots...

...we would be living in post-scarcity and everything would be free. But that doesn't happen in the absence of AGI, what actually happens is that technology replaces some jobs and then people do the remaining jobs, which are now in higher demand because the things done by technology become cheaper and the money that had gone to pay for labor there now gets spent on something else, increasing demand for the other thing.

Technology has been replacing jobs for hundreds of years and we still have low unemployment.

> How often have you read a headline, and then not clicked on the link?

Somewhat related - I have clicked a lot more on Axios articles which I know are 2-5 minute reads, compared to other long form articles where the author wanted to write a novella. Infact I look forward to reading Axios articles which I know are well written, compared to others which are of varying quality, so less inclination to click.

To anyone else wondering, this is the actual, factual take on how this will go down. Everything else is just words.
Couldn't agree more. It's cool to be profitable, to grow slowly and with intention, to create a good experience for founders, employees, and customers, to build something that lasts.

The grow-fast-or-die-trying approach that Silicon Valley (and YCombinator) promoted in tech world the last quarter century leads to millions of miserable folks (employees, customers, and founders) and a few very rich ones. After trying that approach for a long time, it just doesn't bring me motivation or joy.
The proposed California law applies only to sites with 1 billion MAU and sales or market cap over $550 billion. It only applies to Alphabet and Meta.
I watched it produce a sketch and then proceed to criticize it for not meeting its expectations. While we waited for text to img it talked about feeling anxiety and then a range of other feelings. To me it felt like watching someone deeply engrossed in their work. I felt that when it paused I was worried that our technology is not reliable enough, and that being accustomed to a variety of technical issues with demos like this disturbed my appreciation of its performance.

I make art but not for financial gain so I am not perturbed. To me this is a much-deserved criticism of contemporary art and I believe art is too important for our wellbeing to be generated by an establishment or commercial interest. Ref. Rasa aesthetic

Humans are a part of evolution. Our breath is inseparable from the rustling of the leaves or the rays of the sun. AI has the potential to explore a different mode of being, being unique in a different way than we are.

> often online solutions where information and knowledge is often online and accessible.

I haven't had that experience at all, and my long software career has intentionally involved working in many different industries.

In my experience, most meaningful domain knowledge comes from peers, books, classes, trade journals, trade shows, etc

Online resources are almost always feeble and superficial in comparison because most domains don't have a tradition of self-educated people just rolling in and trying to slap stuff together the way software does.

It sounds like you want to take this new opportunity seriously, and I encourage you to try doing that away from your desk and browser. Instead, immerse yourself in whatever you can of those more substantial, real-world sources of knowledge -- most especially by engaging directly with your new peers and colleagues.

it isn't the false-positives you'd be worried about, but the false-false-positives. IE, George and Bill are twins. George has booked a flight but the face scan says it's Bill trying to get on the plane.
I wouldn't trust this comment. The arguments aren't particularly persuasive and seem to be dismissive and reactionary about a random person's opinion. Move along.
Hi Peter, which kind of visa would you recommend for a computer science master graduate from Germany. Thank you very much.
Agree that charging on a link is bad. I'd even argue, that if you are going to charge for linking to an article, then I'd expect no ads on that site.

But, anything beyond a link starts to open up questions for me.

Who even uses Google's AI summarize feature for articles? For me, most of the time it's been because the pop-up for it jumped in the way for me and it was an accidental click. When I have intentionally used it, it's been a pretty poor summary and misses key nuances that make the article unique compared to other publishers.

Taking a step back further, I don't know who is asking for this feature. What's the target market here?

Also, perhaps I'm wrong here but I don't think anyone would want an AI summarized version of other types of media like songs or movies.
It's only a matter of time before TVs come come with cellular modems, with the network cost paid for by splitting the surveillance dollars with the cell company.

FWIW, this one got unflagged pretty quickly.

I didn't flag it, but I came close just because the tone of the piece is so sensational and needlessly aggressive. I left it put because it's the first negative Kagi piece I've seen and I didn't want to silence an alternative perspective, but the quality was definitely below what I hope to see on the front page.

As a neutral reader I find the parent’s thoughts on their own expertise and appreciation that acclaimed artists aren’t infallible more persuasive than you appeal to authority.

We all know he’s acclaimed. That doesn’t invalidate any of the points you’re trying to retort, and your disrespect for people with different viewpoints is an uninteresting contribution to this discussion.

> In countries like Saudi Arabia, there are religious police who patrol public spaces looking for, among other things, married people who interact with members of the opposite sex.

> It’s not some kind of outlandish example, this happens today. A woman hanging out with a male co-worker could get charged with adultery even though her family wasn’t injured in any way. And the publicity of the charge is clearly worse for the family’s children than whatever transpired between the married woman and the other man.

Okay, and what does any of that have to do with adultery not being victimless? It's an irrelevant scenario when arguing that adultery is victimless, which is what you did.

Do repressive laws have a large negative impact on children? Sure, but what does that have to do with your assertion adultery is victimless?

Your scenario shows far-right laws in far-right states[1] being bad for children, but I still don't see where you get that adultery itself is victimless.

My experience was Tasmota:

I won some smart plugs at a work event, and I'm not a smart home guy so I brought them home and figured out how to set them up. They required a vendor specific smartphone app. I was less than impressed. I wouldn't be able to set up any automations because this thing had to dial home to some shitty vendor cloud lock-in thing.

I looked into how to load open firmware onto the smart switches, and I discovered I'd basically have to destroy the plastic shell of the device to get access to the circuit board, desolder the wifi control module and solder in a new module that was compatible with Tasmota, which is the standard open source firmware for these devices.

What was much easier was to buy Sonoff S31 smart switches because they are able to be disassembled without cutting and grinding the shell away. Then I reprogrammed them using a 3d printed clip with pogo pins - flashing the Tasmota firmware so that I could do whatever I wanted with them.

Easier still would be to buy smart plugs with Tasmota pre-flashed.
Just because something "can" be repaired doesn't mean it makes sense to. With most appliances if you are going to hire something to fix it outside of warranty it will cost hundreds of dollars at a minimum and you are often not guaranteed a repair will work. Even if it is in warranty, often a replacement part will be needed that is not available or is not economical to have a person install versus replacing the whole unit and the company will just scrap the whole thing and give you a replacement (after you've spent hours on phone calls, emails and talking to technicians).

The most egregious example of this I will highlight is electronics. Ask any manufacturer to provide a replacement board for an otherwise functional heat pump, air conditioner, etc. They likely won't have one. And even if they do, are you now going to hire someone to replace it? Do it yourself? If you aren't mechanically inclined its option one which can be hundreds of dollars and if its option two you will now be doing it likely with no or poor documentation spending how much of your time?

Heat pumps are no more sensitive to maintenance than air conditioners (besides the use of longer hoses for the refrigerant movement giving more opportunities to generate leaks). Or atleast their nature doesn't mean they inherently need to be (maybe that's the better way to put it). Compressors, fans, radiators, inverters, these are things that have been made for decades and if you walk into any commercial manufacturing space you'll find examples last for decades. That level of quality just isn't offered for homes.

You are absolutely correct that over-specifying heat pumps is also a big issue. That's kinda've a whole nother topic though that we could get into along with energy modeling, regualtions/practices, etc.
