The US Department of State has a webpage literally called "Employment-Based Immigrant Visas": https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/immigrat... It's not common for people wit

Not sure why this comment is being downvoted. It's exactly right: you can apply for EB visas (or any other permanent resident classification you're eligible for) without any prior connection to the US and get an "immigrant vi

I'm confident that account login is working for most people. Potentially something weird has happened with you account and it requires manual intervention. This is exactly what support is for - handling weird situations.

> The Constitution clearly contemplates these situations where the vice president's vote wouldn't matter, so it stands to reason that the Senate is free to adopt rules requiring a different vote threshold than simple majority.

I had a similar experience! At first I thought freetaxusa was too good to be true so I filled out TurboTax as well. When I finished, my freetaxusa refund was larger! Like you, I had made a mistake when using TurboTax.

It doesn’t need to be either/or. We can simultaneously increase housing supply through new construction and disincentivize suboptimal uses of housing you describe.

My initial suspension is that this falls into the "In most cases it's not even an optimization" case, but do correct me if I'm wrong. When you create a new Docker image with a recompiled Rust binary, only the last Docker

Minimizing Docker image size is my favorite premature optimization. In most cases it's not even an optimization! Docker's layered caching means the most relevant size is the diff between the base image and the final image. This is

Are Finnish families flying to the Mediterranean and the Canary Islands for culture or for a beach vacation? I'm guessing the latter. And to replicate this, Americans don't need to leave the US - they can fly to south Florida any

This comment is factually incorrect. As part of the deal with OpenAI, Microsoft has access to all of the IP, model weights, etc.

Just a note that it seems many people think the main problem isn't the context switch. Rather, Linux by default allocates a very large stack to every thread, and thus many threads lead to high memory usage. Async makes this better. See

Agreed, though I'm guessing the "why" is that those parts of the constitution are not considered relevant anymore. It's like the part of article 1 section 2 of the Federal Constitution that describes the initial apportio

To be clear, the problem in the article is not quite the location per se (although the author tries to make it about that because it makes their position more defensible). The problem is that they were proposing to continue their research i

I don't see this as being a counterpoint. From the perspective of Pike's advice both "binary search over a sorted array" and a "BinaryTree object" are identical. They are just different implementations of the s

I believe there is no publicly available data that allows one to calculate the exact percent of new H-1B numbers used by a specific company. But if I go into USCIS's H-1 data hub, I can find some information. For FY-2022 Amazon had 12.

Those LCA applications aren’t 1-1 with H1B quota numbers. Eg after 3 years when renewing a H1B the employer needs to file an LCA but that won’t count against the cap. Similar for H1B transfers and renewals past 6 years. Overall the claim th

I think just running Postgres via the standard Docker image solves most of these issues. Also an in memory Postgres would be nice, but Docker again gives an easy way of setting up “throwaway Postgresses”. This all assumes Linux ofc.

There’s an optimization technique I’ve used that I think could be useful for this kind of problem. It’s similar in spirit to the post. The post deals a lot both with strings and maps with strings as keys. One idea is to intern these strings

Out of curiosity, do you make a lot of money from the ads? I find small niche sites like this to be somewhat less nice to use because of the ads, especially on mobile where they take up lots of limited real estate. And it seems to me that t

I've seen it a few times, but honestly in the US I feel it's not much more than "thoughts and prayers". If you're on a H-1B and get laid off, you need to find a new job within 2-4 months or else you have to leave th
