> So while I will deny their green card application and not submit it,

I might be missing this in the thread. What is the reason that you deny their green card application and not submit?
In a big Go application, most of the time you're not writing code that runs in the "main" thread. If you're writing a UI, you put the UI code in its own goroutine, and pass messages to it. If you're writing a server, most of your code will be in your endpoint handlers, which run as their own goroutines.

In >95% of your code, it's fine to just write `foo_val <- foo_chan`, without spawning a goroutine. From a pragmatic standpoint, it's not really different from `foo_val = expensive_foo_calculation()`. This block of code is waiting for something else to finish, and the Go runtime is smart enough to decide whether or not this thread should be parked until that result is ready.

And, as a bonus, `foo_val = expensive_foo_calculation()` looks the same, even if the implementation launches 10 cpu-bound goroutines and reads from 30 files to do the work.
Are you applying that same rigor to every action people undertake daily?
Yes; it is named for the mistaken belief that Mandela died in prison during the 80s.
Personally, I will deny the first. It's much easier logistically to slack off in office because you can use charisma and politics to your advantage. You can make yourself seem productive, while not actually being productive, much easier in an office environment. Just talk a lot, talk loudly, and talk confidently. Fake it till you make it. Also, if you just look smarter, like if you're tall, white, and a man, that helps.

If you're wondering, this is why managers often suck. The ability to perform well in office politics and your performance/understanding are pretty much completely orthogonal. Slackers get promoted all the time, because they're likable and you're not.

In a WFH environment you can't do this, so more emphasis is on your actual work. You can't swindle people with a pretty face and confident timbre. Or, at least, not anywhere close to the same extent.
I'm surprised the matter is being so widely reported. I would think the ads platform was ... classified :)

Another classic case of US Tech Companies 'disrupting first, apologising later' by ignoring Consumer protection legislation when it suits their bottom line.
A company being unable to compete with another one on price will result in a drop in revenue, as consumers purchase the product with the cheaper price. Revenue going down is bad for a business. How exactly is any of what I've just stated wrong? How exactly is another company selling a similar product at a much lower price point good for the company? Perplexing position that somehow introducing a much cheaper product into the market from company B is good for company A.

>Why don't lawyers and other non-coders use git?

Git is a tool built around the needs of software developers. Because git is too complicated and branching, though in principle, would make sense in some situations, is actually pretty difficult to manage (especially for binary documents).

Also, they do use version history built into tools like Sharepoint/Office, or the document itself.
Not as much as AI right now.

The court records show that he claimed he could not find documents that were then turned over, inadvertently, to the plaintiffs' attorney in an unrelated filing. This seriously raises the question of whether he is actually that inept at finding documents when compelled by law or intentionally tried to hide them.

It turns out juries don't like feeling they were deceived. And he did himself no favors calling the whole situation a "Perry Mason moment."

You're right, really: it's not possible. It's a problem with the conservative impulse (*for a very specific meaning of conservative) in fiction: things don't stay frozen in amber like that.

You didn't list anything substantive because you don't understand the landscape, so you used weasel words.
> Actually it is incredibly difficult, because you no longer have access to your previous employers' code bases.

So the person never does anything outside of his employer's IP? That's unfortunate, but as a heuristic, I'd like to see stuff that the person has done if they claim to be in a field.

Perhaps other people don't care, and will be convinced by expertise without evidence, but I'm busy, and my life is hard enough already: show me your code or gtfo. :-)
This article is a joke. You cannot pretend to offer a serious assessment of AI (comparing it to your human child no less) and advertise your own AI products on the same page. I can guess what your opinion is on the topic, I don't need you to tell me.

Of course, half this article is also spent admitting that pretraining is a cooked goose and they might not be able to improve on that. Go figure.
I came across that group (ASPI) before and wasn’t too impressed.

Their name suggests they are a public agency—in fact, though sponsored by the AUS defence ministry, they are non-governmental and funded in part by weapons manufacturers and foreign governments.

Their project [0] describes numerous civilian universities as “very high risk,” unnecessarily raising fears that ordinary Chinese students and researchers are dangerous.

Especially since students uni choices are heavily determined by gaokao scores, I don’t think placing labels on people based on their undergrad uni as if they handpicked them for whatever defense connections they may have makes any sense.

This is what the US is doing with Proclamation 10043 under both Trump I and Biden. Steven Miller, who will be returning to a similar role in Trump II, recently suggested banning all Chinese citizens from student visas in the US, demonstrating this irresponsible rhetorics effect.

Moreover, Australia is basically a vassal state of the US for intelligence matters—-see the debate about whether the CIA ousted the only prime minister to question the NSA’s Pine Gap facility on Australian soil. [1]

Age of exploration was powered by finding new sources of slaves and materials in the East (india, asia, also eastern europe to an extent)

The mongol conquest itself was capturing vast sources of wealth (easier to take from others than build yourself)

Same with Rome. Each new conquest brought more slaves and natural resources to the empire. It used this to fuel more expansion.
So you have zero integrity. Thanks for sharing.

Sure, but employees are not machines and companies should realize this. Amazon is getting far too comfortable biting the hand that feeds them.

No it's not. The H-1B program has no requirement for a labor market test (i.e. showing that there is no citizen that can do the job). The Immigration and Nationality Act, which is the source of the H-1B program, does not have such a requirement. The only big requirements are that the job require a degree (except for fashion models) and that it pays the prevailing wage.
Are you saying that true Data Engineers typically do more than just use Tableau or run OLAP queries, or do you see the title 'Data Engineer' itself as a bit of a red flag these days? I’m pretty early in my career and was leaning toward Data Engineering, but hearing stuff like this makes me wonder if going for SWE might be smarter.

I was thinking about that last month. But in addition to git, I would propose a formal verification system based on the contract statements, to ensure that any addition would not broke the logic and correctness of the contract. Working like a CI system.
After years of trialling a variety of notebook setups, I eventually fell back to vscode & git. I've even given up on Markdown (nothing wrong with it, I just realised I never actually view my own notes in parsed Markdown so I stopped bothering).

All I need is a file structure that I understand, and an editor for typing and searching :)

Git is great for (i) persistence, (ii) availability and (iii) the merge flow encourages me to review/clean changes before merging them to main.

Growing up, the music from PS1 games and getting my first computer with internet access sparked my interest in Drum and Bass, Jungle, and eventually other electronic music. In high school, I would spend hours every night searching for music and connecting with people who shared similar interests, discovering what they enjoyed. I also remembered going to Borders and spend hours browsing their library. It was a great time. I still have my drum and bass CDs from back then. Roni Size - New Forms was a game changer for me.

Show HN: Saga – Cursor/Copilot for note taking
I'm building Saga which is a fast, minimalist note taking app for notes and tasks.

It focuses on simplicity, speed, and easy linking between notes (autocomplete, referencing, automatic linking).

We have an AI assistant that works inline in your notes. You can select text and rewrite/edit them with Cmd + J.

We also have a chat on the side (Cmd + L) that you can use to chat with your current page or other pages you insert in the context.

The overall idea is that similar to Cursor/Copilot, an integrated workspace is the best UI to work with AI. Workspaces have all our internal knowledge, are integrated with other tools and AI can be used on top of all that context.

We have a free version if you decide to have a look! Looking forward to your feedback!
I don’t see how the network lock-in problem couldn’t be solved by automatically generating a DOCX version, however. As long as you can seamlessly import and export the standard—or shall we say, legacy?—format, you could work with a version control app without the other side even noticing.
There really isn't a "good" recruiter from a candidate perspective. Their incentives are to support the firms they recruit for, and screen candidates. They do not work for your benefit.

My experience early in my career was that I needed to work with many of these recruiters until I found a gig. My experience at the time was weak, and my resume reflected that. I had to take the gigs which had lower competition e.g. systems administration.
That, or you didn't take them seriously enough. Bring me the candy bar!

The National Science Board was established by Congress, its activities are defined and governed by the law that created it, and it is clearly a part of the executive branch. Why do you consider it to be external to the government?

I dislike this system as much as you do. Clearly the PERM cert is flawed. I suppose the system is working as intended, and I'm not sure what the drama is, although of course, from a human empathy point of view, I feel like the story is making you look like the worst actor in this scenario.

That is unfair, but forgive me: you hold all the cards and occupy the most powerful position in the story, and you are framing it in absolutes, trying to make yourself a victim, talking about it as though you are powerless.

I ran into this when teaching my son to tie his shoes. He now ties his shoes “upside down” from me, because I tied it from my perspective. It’s surprisingly hard to tie shoes in slow motion, it took some practice by paying attention to myself tying shoes quickly.

Now I’m wondering if you can tell a kid is from an “even” or “odd” generation by which way they tie shoes…

In the long term perhaps, but not in the short term. Bidding wars over an inadequate supply of suitably-skilled labour are good for those workers, but they aren't good for the economy or society as a whole.
The better paying role is a Backend SWE (usually). A really a good data engineer is just a Backend SWE who has specific experience.

> After all, so long as the popular and electoral college votes matched, it doesn’t really matter what system you’re using, and there’s better things to worry about most of the time.

It could still matter, since the electoral college would seem to bias voting turnout. If your state historically votes 90%-10% for the two major parties, then you're inclined to skip voting if it is a minor or major inconvenience. If suddenly all those votes start to matter a lot more then you would see higher turnouts and possibly shifts between the parties.
It can take months to hire a specialist from both but if you're constantly spinning plates, you have some lukewarm contacts as well as a list of obvious no's.

I'm skeptic about testimonials like this. Users often don't know how to communicate what they need.

For example, "they always wanted to be using the latest version". Was that said _before_ or _after_ git was vaguely explained to them?

Maybe showing a working prototype has a different effect than explaining branches and commits.

I actually evaluated and used jsmn and almost mentioned it in my comment. It was really quite cool, but I believe I couldn’t use it due to the lack of UTF-8 validation.
