There's one small part of the article that IMO is sort of key to understanding the why: > [for every account] we keep two separate strictly positive integer amounts: one for debits and another for credits It is not sufficient that t

I'm not sure what you mean by "dynamic scoring" here - maybe you mean a points based immigration system? The article is not about this. It's about how Congress scores legislation based on its economic impact, and is advo

Right right, but I wonder if there is some weird edge case where some Java program relies on threads being real OS threads...like, for sure Java threads being OS threads is an observable feature of a running Java program (you can see it in

> Asylum seekers and refugees are U.S. persons under current law. Just a nit: there is a difference between an asylum seeker (someone who has made an application for asylum) and an asylee (someone whose application for asylum has been ap

Can you just use green threads (goroutines) from the get-go? Or, by Hyrum's law, is the fact that legacy Java threads are really OS threads part of Java's de facto public API?

An asylee is someone whose application for asylum has been approved. The hack in which you cross the border illegally and then apply for asylum does get you a work permit, but won't get you one of these jobs.

By the way, SpaceX's updated job descriptions are consistent with this interpretation. They now say: "To conform to U.S. Government export regulations, applicant must be a (i) U.S. citizen or national, (ii) U.S. lawful, permanent

Thanks! That makes a lot of sense. My original point wasn't really about the inbound/outbound distinction. It was that these companies can claim they're based on open source, but then N years down the line pull the rug out fr

Passing in a map would require an extra allocation for the map memory for each log line. I think the performance would probably not be great?

In light of Terraform/HashiCorp's license change recently, how "open source" should we consider companies like this? Currently their GitHub repo is licensed under an open-source Mozilla license [1]. But contributors also

The question of whether renting or buying is more financially beneficial is highly complex, and certainly it is not always the case that buying is better. Additionally, there are non-financial reasons why some people prefer to rent. So IMO

This has been my experience on the hiring side too. Nowadays almost all resumes have a link to GitHub, but 80%+ of the time the accounts have been dead for months/years. My favorite was a candidate whose GitHub was totally empty - they

I remember when searching for jobs in the last year of my PhD I was confused about why it was going nowhere even though everyone had told me it would be easy. I then had this huge realization that the only people who had said it would be ea

I fully agree. A math PhD without any practical skills (programming, ML, etc.) isn't that useful for the jobs market. When I mentioned hubris is my parent comment, I was kind of referring to this: the sense among PhD students was that

In my opinion you weren't at fault here. Production systems should be designed so that one person can't inadvertently destroy things.

Immigration reform can't be passed through the Senate's special budget procedures (this is what the parliamentarian blocked) and thus will require 60 votes to pass. Partly for this reason I don't think we'll get immigrat

For up to one year after you graduate you're eligible to get a one year J-1 visa to work in the US [1]. However it will be quite tricky to find another way to get work-authorized when the J-1 is over. So I don't really see this as

Thanks for the code! I would slightly change the phrasing. "This website is designed for X" is traditionally, in my opinion, a user-hostile statement which indicates the user has to do something to accommodate the website. "W

That article definitely buried the lede. A fair reading of the article is that the only reason they are switching from Go to Rust is because their dev team wants to write in Rust. Which is fine! But I think they could have been more open ab

I agree, and just want to add: nowadays it's super common for researchers to widely publicize their new work on social media. The blog post here even mentions "Table 5 from the paper was often included in tweets". In this con

On my GitHub repos creating a new release generally involves using GitHub’s new release UI, which only I can do because I’m the only one with permissions. If someone else wanted a new release on my repo, how can they do this without me doi

FYI, I think that as of this comment you don't understand what the maintainer was being asked to do. There is nothing in the code to fix. There is no dependency to be updated. Forking and doing whatever isn't what's needed. T
