The problem is the H1B visa is a lottery not a points based system. As someone who applied for an H1B 5 times and never got it, despite being highly skilled and having a PhD and a well paying job. The only way in was on an intern visa or an

Looked after my son who has T1D for now 5 years, checked keytones maybe 20 times. Compared to blood glucose which we check look at every 5 minutes. Maybe this is more for Type 2 or other diabetes, or for people prone to DKA. Or it is for pe

Of course it does, but only one country has to keep commissioning and ignoring studies to work out a group of 300million people can get better prices for everything if the incentive for the government is to decrease the price rather than in

I'm pretty sure it isn't. I actually proposed a cooldown for apt-get in my PhD thesis in 2013 and calculated its impact. Because the meta-data for the Ubuntu apt repository can be completely downloaded you can simulate the impact

I volunteer at a weekly event where we consistently have over 400 people show up, and every week it is a struggle to get 20 necessary volunteers to run it. When you ask, you do get volunteers, but there are a few awesome people who voluntee

I have seen this as the GoTH stack, Go Templ Htmx. Add sqlc to that gor GoTHs or GHosT stack. Love this combo, once you buy into "go generate ./..." as a build step you get so much. I also add goverter for converting between

I don't think you are using that right. Saying someone is bringing a bad vibe to your project, as the point he has a bad vibe is just stating the conclusion. Like if someone calls you a bad programmer and doesn't hire you as a pro

"The question was never whether this would involve costs" Brexit was sold as being positive for the economy. The proponents drove a bus around saying they would get 350 million back. It was largely advertised as a net positive for

Would it be fair to say that because the US Navy is not running it as a for-profit power generation that would help. Like every accident seems to be a list of cost saving shortcuts being responsible

Some of these laws are like Gravity, inevitable things you can fight but will always exist e.g. increasing complexity. Some of them are laws that if you break people will yell at you or at least respect you less, e.g. leave it cleaner than

If AI could reliably write good code then you shouldn't need to even commit the code as the general rule is you shouldn't commit generated code. Commit the session when you don't need to commit the code

My main advice for engineers is to write a blog. It isn't for anyone else it is to organize your thoughts. But should be presented in a way others can learn from. For a year I published every Tuesday morning, and that schedule made me
