No, you're being sneaky here. "Hit's the officers face AND tries to take his gun"...There was some redness on his face which was probably the result of the struggle. I'll grant that, even though it's possible Wilson self-injured, or got an officer to do that for him, but that's too speculative for argument. But, again, there is not undisputed FACT that he reached for his gun. You are conflating the redness on Wilsons face into "fact" that he reached for his gun. Again, there is no objective account of this and there is no "commonly agreed version of events".
no, they are "professional acquaintances". I'm mostly being facetious here of course, but it certainly sounds to me like an argument a lawyer would make.

DI is nothing else than partially applied functions, which is useful to limit the number of values flowing explicitly to the call point. Limiting the data flow diameter is good, as our brains can handle so much information simultaneously.

On the other hand, DI frameworks are a "modern" way to do global objects. I have no clue what problem they solve or why using a DI framework is a good idea. I've had the "pleasure" to work with a Java DI framework project last week, it turned 10 lines of code into 300 lines of boilerplate spread around 3 different packages.

Furthermore, I agree, the pervasive use of mocks is a smell. The point of tests is to have test suite T.A to validate module A. Littering the test base with mocks of A which don't pass the test suite T.A is just a recipe for pain, both semantically and as increasing the amount of code change required by a refactoring. A is changing? Go chase the 100 mocks that make their own assumptions about A and fix them. Your tests are now part of the liability under change instead of being the safety net that tells you whether your module B depending on A is still working.
As you said. It has 69 binaries. 69 insecure turd bins to worry about in what should be an init system. But it is no longer an init system. It is a cancer on Linux.

Indeed. The first step to grokking Lisp, from Haskell (or any typed language), is to realize that Lisp's "list" is not equivalent to any single data type you've used before, but it's really a general weakly-structured representation of any and all structured types.

Even this solution is not completely equivalent to Lisp megasum -- it fails to compile on the list `('a)` ;-)

You are in a tough position. Even if someone is willing to sponsor a visa, you are competing with everyone who doesn't need a visa. You cannot just be "as good" as the next guy - you need to be better, because it is more trouble to bring you on board. And if the job explicitly says they will sponsor a visa, you also need to be better than everyone else internationally.

This should not stop you from trying - but you need to focus on making yourself stand out from the crowd. They may like your profile, but if they like 45 other profiles, too, you need to tell them what makes you the one to choose.

If you are really the best guy for the job, they will figure out the visa issues. But if you are only 2nd best, they won't.

EDIT: I was also just thinking of how people I know who came from India made their move here. Most of them worked for one of the big Indian firms who outsource from the US. They would start working remotely in India, and then get a role that moved them to the US. Once they were here, they could get to know people, network, etc, and then find permanent US-based jobs through that network.

Well, one guy was grounded. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Calley

"William Laws Calley, Jr. (born June 8, 1943) is a former United States Army officer found guilty of murdering 22 unarmed South Vietnamese civilians in the My Lai Massacre on March 16, 1968, during the Vietnam War. After several reductions, Calley’s original sentence of life in prison was turned into an order of house arrest, but after three years, President Nixon reduced his sentence with a presidential pardon."

I guess that'll be as good as it gets.

The thing is, most programming really isn't brain surgery in most cases. Unfortunately most professional programmers are arrogant douches that really do believe they're on the same level as a doctor. Maybe some are, especially if they're coding medical equipment, but the majority of programmers are just regular people with average IQs. Programming is only "hard" because traditional western schooling doesn't introduce you to any programming concepts.

Why don't you consider Germany? US is great in terms of taking technological inspirations but I wouldn't want to live there as that would mean working for the landlords. I've been to Berlin for a year and consider working for any company there (big or small) because the prices (rents, food, travel, entertainment) are low and the incomes (whether salary or hour based) are high and they pay satisfactorily to IT workers. They prefer more enterprise stuff though such as Java and SAP. And in some areas being fluent in German is a requirement. Still, it's worth it, they have more open and straightforward visa applications.
But in the end, the same question arises, where to look for such companies.

systemd (init) operates as pid1; Networkd is spawned by init similar to ubuntu's NetworkManager or a classic /etc/init.d/network restart.

What do you mean by that? Under H-1B one has job openings; you apply for the visa when you decide to hire an immigrant.

Also, it sounds like you're saying there are job positions at your company that are open only to people of particular national origins, or ethnic backgrounds. Isn't that illegal under the 1964 Civil Rights Act?
Perhaps I should have been more specific. I was referring in that sentence to Contributor License Agreements (CLAs), specifically the most egregious ones, such as Canonical's CLA that not only transfers your copyright to Canonical but grants them the right to relicense your work under any license they wish, even proprietary.

If I'm going to give something I produced away under a permissive license, I'd rather not be harassed to sign an actual, physical contract with some company as well, let alone one that places additional obligations on me while offering nothing in return.

>It would be entirely unfair if a small number of high population states could easily impose their will on a large number of small population states.

Why? "States" are arbitrary lines drawn in the soil. Should everyone who wants more power just secede and form their own state, ad absurdum?

Besides which, none of the actually existing countries with proportional-representation democracy have sent their rural regions to hell in a handbasket. You can't keep using a thought experiment as a reason to consider catastrophic outcomes from non-regionalist democracy plausible when the empirical evidence runs against it.

And, just to finish off, there's the issue that the current "states" don't even make sense as regional divisions. The citizens of rural upstate New York have far more in common with Vermonters, Western Massachussans, and even citizens of rural Pennsylvania and Illinois than they do with citizens of New York City. Yet because of the division into states, the interests of rural New Yorkers are neglected relative to those of Vermonters just because rural New Yorkers live on the same side of the completely arbitrary border as urban New Yorkers -- even tangential and immaterial association with cities is penalized under this system!

>Would it be fair for those few states to able to completely over-ride the interests of the other 41 states in the union?

This presumes that those nine states have completely unanimous elections. It is entirely fair that elections should be fought over the issues that matter to the largest portion of the people possible, that politicians should stand for election by putting forward the most appealing rational positions, rather than by catering to a disproportionately represented minority and deliberately neglecting the majority of citizens.

Despite the constant fear-mongering of antidemocratic political philosophers, majoritarian democracy, with the rule of law enforced, has never actually resulted in the predicted rounds of war, death, famine, and pestilence. To oppose democratic rule based on violent-mob rule being a bad thing is disingenuous.

There's the "of interest" clause. But more specifically, we talk a lot here about telecom and internet surveillance. It's good to raise up your head once in awhile and recognize that technical acts are not done for themselves, they're done for a larger goal.

All of these breaches we talk about here by the US and other governments are much more than offenses against technology, they resolve up the tree to support policy. To support kidnapping, torture and murder.

We can measure every aspect of the oil droplet because we're measuring it with trillions upon trillions of infinitely smaller and faster photons which give us a great insight without disturbing the structure. What would we bounce off of photons to get an equally accurate picture without disturbing them?

The analogy isn't a problem. The fact that there's nothing small enough to observe photons like we can observe the oil is a problem, but it says nothing about the integrity of the analogy.

In the analogy the water is space-time, meaning "observing" the droplet like we observe photons would require shooting another droplet past or into the first droplet.

Doctors in such a system may still have an incentive to over negatively predict the tough cases, and specifically by an amount greater than their peers.

The hope would be "send this tough or impossible case to someone else" such that the doctor's success rate stats will remain high and the outcome prediction stats would be unaffected (as the "trial" would go to another doctor).

I'm all for having more information available, and when my extended family faces a serious medical concern, we seek out friends and family in medicine, asking "if you faced this situation, what doctor would you trust?" I don't know of a way to globally institutionalize that process.
This story shows some of the subtly of lobbying that I think people fail to appreciate. Lobbying isn't about spending money for votes. It's about making sure lawmakers understand your narrative. Ultimately, lawmakers have to defend their positions against their opponents. How do they do that unless someone explains why a particular position is a good one? Take surge pricing for example. People react negatively to it, but it has support from economists. Lawmakers don't know this innately. Lobbyists tell them, give them the ammo they need to come out in support of a position consistent with their ideology.

Uber has powerful narrative that resonates with politicians: new technology obsoleting outdated regulations. In the past 25 years, that's been a powerful narrative both for republicans and moderate/conservative democrats (like those in Virginia). The counter narrative: consumer protections, equal access, are weaker in the current political climate, especially somewhere like Virginia.

I think Uber is a great contrast to the relative lack of traction net neutrality has had among lawmakers. It's an esoteric point, not easily understandable like better taxi service. And it cuts against the trend of deregulation. So despite there being a lot more money behind net neutrality, it's been a harder sell.

What are people's thoughts on combining social graph + blockchain + decentralized search? The idea is that your searches will be somewhat similar to others in your community, so the crawl index is sharded/partitioned to optimize for social graph proximity. If you want to index pages non proximate to you, you can get paid Bitcoin to do it.

This could be implemented with xmpp (lookup socialvpn/ipop project) for social layer, chord dht for search, and Altcoin with modified pow for incentive.

You have managed to completely miss my point. Truckloads of money ARE being made. The only question is who controls them. If a programmer creates a product worth millions but only gets a £20k salary, where has the rest of the money gone? Are you really so altruistic that you would rather your boss and his boss got rich, than taint yourself with money? As I say if you don't want it donate it to good causes but either way YOU should control what happens to as much money as possible, because if you don't, someone else will.

Please. That's a great song, and even Skinny Puppy (a relatively tame, "dance-industrial" band) has a lot noiser, less structured music that would be more "disturbing" to some. These prisoners were lucky if they got to listen to Puppy's Assimilate.

There's far, far, far more extreme music than that, such as the whole "noise" genre, which includes bands like Massona,[1] Merzbow,[2] and Borbetomagus.[3] And, yes, fans pay good money to buy their albums and go hear them live. I've gone for days listening to all of these virtually non-stop.

I'm not really in to them anymore, but I'd still much rather hear some noise music than put in a stress position, be tasered, be stuck in an extremely cold or extremely hot room, be waterboarded, raped, deprived of sleep or medical attention for weeks on end, be subject to mock executions, have my family threatened, be kicked to death (or kicked in general.. no thanks!).

Yes, music and various other means of sensory overload or sensory deprivation can induce altered states of consciousness, and when combined with a menacing environment where you're surrounded by people who mean you harm (and often do you harm), they can be unsettling. But music would be one of the last things I'd be worried about in a torture prison.

At least they didn't force the prisoners to listen to Johnny Cash.[4]

Programming and brain surgery have very little overlap. I would actually argue that brain surgery is far more about having a confident, steady hand, and less about raw smarts. Undoubtebly, brain surgeons typically have above average IQs, but so do programmers.

Numerous studies have placed the typical IQ of software developers to be in the >120 range. That's between 1 and 2 σ , or somewhere around higher than 90% of the population.
