I wouldn't go as far as saying that immigration lawyers are "overseer on the plantation". That is an extreme imo. Lawyers are only there to help there clients navigate the laws of the land. They have serve both companies and immigrants as clients.

Though, I strongly believe that H1b problem is modern slavery. Especially for people from India and China. The law is carefully crafted to ensure a constant supply of captive labor who work hard, pay taxes and if they fail to be competetive then get sent back to their home country irrespective of how long they have lived here or their contribution to the economy/society here. Sometimes I wonder if the law would have been the same if it were to impact europeans the same way (Pls don't take this as racist. Nothing against European ppl. I'm just complaining about a racist law).

I know the counter-argument is always that "you can leave the job and go back if you feel it's slavery". That's true but like Europeans and like people from many other countries, we also want to live in this great country. This country has attracted immigrants over centuries. The problem is that the law is carefully crafted to ensure that not too many people of color become citizens here without having a clear race based restriction in the law.

Can I self-sponsor an E-3, if I'm the founder of the company, with no other shareholders?
My concern with this is it is based on a number of wrong ideas: it is wrong that all billionaires are bad. Billionaires with exceptional skill are great and i want them to have as much money as possible because they will create value with it at a higher rate than any government program and most of that benefit will eventually be competed out of prices into value to consumera ( first gen billionaires who made their fortunes founding multiple successful companies would be one obviously good billionaire type but there are others). It is wrong that government will sustainably do any better for society than any billionaire. Governments have a corruption amd waste lifecycle and many are very corrupt and wasteful right now. It is wrong to give those governments any money. They need to be starved and reformed or destroyed and remade. it is also wrong that taking more than a couple percent wealth tax would do nothing. It would likely prtially crsh the value of that wealth because it is mostly in stock and that stock would need to ve sold to pay the tax. Further it is wrong that it solves sonething because the big problem is not the billionaire, it is the increasing market power abuse used to make some of the billionaires. It would be better to break up their market power abusing companies and cause a wealth decrease that way because that miti_ates the market power distorting the market.
Thanks. Good to know that there are decent hosts to choose from, that help support WP by paying licensing/service fees.
Is that "success?" Buying overvalued companies high and bringing the market cap down to a lower, more reasonable value?
And quite the opening, too. They could have replaced the dead/dying Skype, gotten the market Slack/Teams have, and been the video-conferencing option everyone reached for instead of Zoom.

I feel like expecting them to have created Discord is a bit too much - I think most people didn't realize there was such a strong demand for a chat program structured into 'servers' like IRC.
as a user, your first paragraph was just jibber jabber.
I’ve done a deep dive into this and have a setup I’m fairly happy with. It doesn’t sound as good as a “podcast” mic, but it’s also not obnoxious and in your face. While sounding worlds better than apple or gaming headsets. I detail in this thread:

https://www.audiosciencereview.com/forum/index.php?threads/w...

It’s a wired headset with a condenser mic I feed into a daw with real-time compressor and eq. No software required or processing done on the computer. The only thing I’m missing is a wireless headset with audio in and out that can be routed to the DAW. Wireless headsets connect to the computer via usb which is a shame. All of my friends use steelseries and it sucks because I constantly have to ride their volume levels because the boom arm moves out the ideal position and they don’t have a leveler to do deal with it.

If you buy a meal, they vouch to pay for it.

Seems to be a disconnect or mental leap here.
It's taken ages for anything from functional programming to penetrate general use. Do you think uptake of logic stuff will be any faster?
I dunno, not all projects are equally important or popular, so it seems to me that the number of downloads which had keys is the better metric to look at.

But, if there are fundamental issues with the key system anyway, the percentages don’t matter anyway.

I would agree with that statement, I just dont think it describes this situation. It was never the employees money. It was permission to spend company money on food.

Giving an employee keys to the safe is not the same as giving them the contents.

I think revealed in this is that Matt has no understanding of the Wordpress userbase, and bizarre unpopular features like Gravitar and Gutenberg now make more sense in hindsight.

ACF was one of the most important enterprise plugins in the ecosystem when they hijacked it. They essentially did a supply chain attack on the top WordPress users and expected there to be no repercussions.

He was also apparently upset that WP Engine was not pushing Jetpack, Automattic's own thoroughly mediocre service package that they try upselling to every WordPress user.

So I get the impression Matt is really, really, really out of touch with his own userbase, and he still sees the primary feature of WordPress as a blogging platform.
A coworker fed some EU trade regulation page and its official FAQ to NotebookLM, and I was quite impressed with the results.

It was factually accurate, and presented the topic in a manner that was easy to digest and kept it interesting.

I didn't plan to but ended up listening to the whole thing, and I normally don't enjoy the podcast format.

For someone new to the topic, it'd be a pretty great intro compared to reading the official pages.
Not sure we all have the same definition of what successful means... pretendig to know at a high technical level what happens in the 5+ companies you are the ""CEO"" of, while fighting trolls on twitter all day and having children with 4 different women (that we know of), children of which at least one doesn't want to know anything from you and all this while switching your stance on politics by 180 degrees because it serves your business well...?

I mean, the system in which we live right now has a very particular Objective Function that optimizes for money and like in the social networks case where they realized the system shaped towards the objective function without considering the well being of its members, it optimized for screen time through extremism, hate speech and fake news... in the same way our current societies don't favor the nicest, most caritative, nor even smartest members; it favors the ones who are willing to cheat, lie, step over, dehumanize others... all for the sake of "being successful".
Not really. It's not that uncommon for a support/forum/feedback site to use a separate account. It just means that they didn't have time, didn't want to spend the money, or couldn't link the support software to their main user account system.
Under US labor laws at least, you only have to pay someone if they are doing work that benefits the company materially somehow. They would be forbidden from grabbing bugs out of their queue and saying, here go fix this and maybe we'll hire you. Same with unpaid internships which are _supposed_ to be training and shadowing opportunities only, no actual work being done.

That said, I did just peek and my notes and I read that candidates are paid two week's salary for the coding assignment.
Most people do security badly so let’s not do it at all.

I love the simplicity of this. Hurray for small models for small tasks.
(Marco from Crunchy Data)

With PostgreSQL extensions, we find it's most effective to have single-purpose modular extensions.

For instance, I created pg_cron a few years ago, and it's on basically every PostgreSQL service because it does one thing and does it well.

We wanted to create a light-weight implementation of Parquet that does not pull a multi-threaded library into every postgres process.

When you get to more complex features, a lot of questions around trade-offs, user experience, and deployment model start appearing. For instance, when querying an Iceberg table, caching becomes quite important, but that raises lots of other questions around cache management. Also, how do you deal with that memory hungry, multi-threaded query engine running in every process without things constantly falling over?

It's easier to answer those questions in the context of a managed service where you control the environment, so we have a product that can query Iceberg/Parquet/CSV/etc. in S3, does automatic caching, figures out the region of your bucket, can create tables directly from files, and uses DuckDB to accelerate queries in a reliable manner. This is partially powered by a set of custom extensions, partially by other things running on the managed service.

However, some components can be neatly extracted and shared broadly like COPY TO/FROM Parquet. We find it very useful for archiving old partitions, importing public and private data sets, preparing data for analytics, and moving data between PostgreSQL servers.

I suspect we're thinking about quite different use cases for our testing code. If the input-output pairs are describing a highly technical relationship I would probably want a more rigorous testing procedure. Possibly proofs.

Most of the tests I write daily is about moving and transforming data in ways that are individually rather trivial, but when features pile up, keeping track of all requirements is hard, so you want regression tests. But you also don't want a bunch of regression tests that are hard to change when you change requirements, which will happen. So you want a decent amount of simple tests for individually simple requirements that make up a complex whole.

Sir, this is Hacker News. Nobody here takes showers.
Indeed, network effects are durable but not unbreakable. I haven’t deleted my Twitter account yet, mostly because there are those (increasingly rare) occasions when it’s necessary to log in to view some thread or the like, but when I find myself there, it always feels like a raging dumpster fire. Building a new network on BlueSky took a while, but it was definitely worthwhile, and while there are a handful of people I miss from Twitter, I have a good community that fills the need that Twitter used to. I suspect that for most tech people, Mastodon is going to be the new destination and there will never be a single destination for social networking again, but maybe that’s a good thing.
The only thing that reminds me it’s not Google is when I search for a place I don’t get a good map that then allows me to route to the place. Still use Google for that.
This feels like perfect being the enemy of good enough. There are examples where the system falls over but that doesn't mean that it completely negates the benefits.

It is very easy to get blinkered into thinking that the specific problems they're citing absolutely need to be solved, and quite possibly an element of trying to use that as an excuse to reduce some maintenance overhead without understanding its benefits.
Every single tech job I've had has had people like his.

I've seen people empty drink refrigerators into duffle bags before the weekend.

There was a guy who took dozens of travel-sized deodorants from the bathroom and kept them in his desk (and still didn't use them...)

There was someone who would pressure the cafeteria staff for 10 "to-go" meal containers.

As an aside, if you need to play with datetime objects in Ruby, you almost certainly want to be using the Time library instead of the DateTime library, even though one of them sounds like it fits better.

At the top of the DateTime docs [1]:

> DateTime class is considered deprecated. Use Time class.

The same doc explains when you should use DateTime by using an anecdote about William Shakespeare and Miguel de Cervantes dying on the same day - except they didn't because England and Italy used different calendars at the time. [2]

DateTime is great at dealing with historical pre-1970 dates, otherwise just use Time.

I've been building sites on WordPress for almost 20 years. A couple of years ago I ran into an old friend, and it turned out she worked for Automattic. She encouraged me to apply there, so I did.

The initial interviews went well, so I moved on to the code test. It was a slog; I was working full-time and raising a three-year-old. But I loved the idea of working for the keepers of WordPress, so I powered through. During this process I got a peek inside Automattic, and there were some concerning oddities. One that stuck out to me was that there is an annual week-long gathering of employees, and it is mandatory.

Then my "trial" began. It was certainly within my technical capabilities, but it was something like 2 weeks worth of full-time work, all to write code that would ultimately be thrown away. I was instructed to invoice Automattic $30/hour for the time I spent on it, and told that taking too long to finish would result in rejection. I got a few hours in before I concluded that it was just not possible, and I withdrew my application.

There was also a fair amount of weird forced corporate jargon in the materials. Instead of "employees" it was always "Automatticians," and things like that. It felt a bit cultish. In retrospect, I think I dodged a bullet.

Ah yes, those poor immigration attorneys just trying to get through life one day at a time on their six figure income, having to endure the unimaginable agony of reading the occasional snarky internet comment. Let me play you a song on the world's smallest violin while thousands of migrant workers get deported every time Elon Musk has to pay child support.
It's also not a one or the other kind of thing.

The ideal auth system makes use of both, with the passkey or hardware token as the MFA component and a strong passphrase as the traditional password component. In this way, you are protected from phishing, which is the final weak point that MFA methods like TOTP do not address.

Unfortunately, globocorps are pushing for passkeys as the sole means of authentication, rather than just the MFA component. Being cynical, I'm guessing they're doing this to facilitate some kind of vendor lock-in or fingerprinting.
My personal favorite is the immediate follow up this conversation generates ( 'well, if you don't like the job, change it' ) while cynically omitting how we got here and that changing it is either near impossible or being actively hindered. You see it all the time. One would think the population would get better at pattern recognition after being stung once or twice.
Racket splits up the iteration forms from what to iterate over (sequences[1]). You can compose different sequence constructors together, or make brand new ones, without introducing new syntax.

It has limited destructuring - sequences can return multiple values, all of which can be bound. There's an adapter to convert one that does that into returning a single list, but not the other way around. If there was it could be used with `in-slice` to be equivalent to your first example.

I could probably write a new sequence to get the `previous` behavior; don't think `initially ... then` is possible.

Lots of sequences for reading from open ports (the Racket/Scheme name for CL streams)... `(for ([i (in-port)]) ...)` for example (with an optional reader argument defaulting to `read`).

That's not going to work. Garbage in - Garbage out is success-set equivalent to Garbage in - Prolog out.

Garbage is garbage and failure to reason is failure to reason no matter the language. If your LLM can't translate your problem to a Prolog program that solves your problem- Prolog can't solve your problem.

I understand that. The problem is that in many scenarios users would want to see transcripts of what they said alongside the model output. Like if I have a chat with a model about choosing a place to move to, I would probably also want to review it later. And when I review it, I will see: me: /audio record/ AI: 200-300m. No easy way to see at glance what the AI answer was about.

I would add:

- find something you can be passionate about. Something which challenges you. It must not bring you fun but satisfaction. I know this can be hard finding such „something“. In the end you have to try a lot of difference thing. But even just trying out different things gives you experience. This is something you could also do together with your kids.

- something you kind of already did: share your experience! You could share your journal, be it a blog or a video log. This might bring support/help from other who experience the same situation.
For me there are plusses and minuses. It doesn't push ads, but it doesn't seem quite so good at picking out phrases in the query. So I will search for something and then have to go back and quote the phrases
They don't "support WP". All the fees are going to Automattic, as was revealed in term sheet Matt himself shared.

The "volunteers" on the WP project that approve all of the work and revisions are full time Automattic employees. The work that the Foundation does primarily benefits Automattic.

There is nothing to even support besides Automattic.

I suspect the employee will have a good case for wrongful termination. As these vouchers are subject to income tax ultimately by the IRS vs a traditional corp expense report reimbursement.

That's an interesting problem to think about, but this is not really that situation. Portland may not be a top-10 tech hub, but neither is it a backwater - the metro area population is 2.5 million. Getting downtown from the Intel campus takes all of 30 minutes; it's the same distance you'd drive getting from Microsoft to Seattle, or from Google to San Jose. I doubt many of these folks will have to move, unless they want to.
How can you keep trusting that person's judgement if this is what they do when given only $25 of responsibility?
I don't have a horse in any race, so I aim to be descriptive rather than prescriptive in my analysis, and I make an effort to choose neutral language that will resonate with people from many backgrounds and beliefs.
