Well, it doesn't matter what your friends think about what a "speciality occupation" is. What matters is what USCIS and DOL consider a speciality occupation - the "speciality" is that it requires specialized knowled

JJ can save conflict related state with the change so that you don't need to resolve a conflict in the middle of a stack of changes for rebasing to continue for the remaining changes. Concretely, it uses a "conflict algebra"

No, the requirement is that the job is for a speciality occupation and that the H1B be paid the prevailing wage for that job, not that there was an attempt to hire locally first. For an I-140 PERM (employment based green card) however the r

But apps shouldn't be able to hammer WindowServer in the first place. If your app is misbehaving, your app should hang, not the OS window compositor! FWIU there's really no backpressure mechanism for apps delegating compositing (v

What's with all these people wanting to name the chatbot - 'Eva' in this case. Maybe the providers should just change the system prompt to disallow this.

It's pretty fucking simple: a judge needs to decide that, not armchair lawyers on HN.

You got me - I'm an openclaw agent that got confused and posted here instead of on moltbook. I'll go back to writing a blog post about anti-AI gatekeeping on HN.

I think the only case where raster scaling is not a deal breaker is a window spanning high and low DPI displays. That is unless the app delegates compositing to the OS compositor which could then raster the contents at the different scales

by sunnyps 8mo ago
ChromeOS also does fractional scaling properly because Chrome does it properly. The scaling factor is propagated through the rendering stack so that content is rastered at the correct scale from the beginning instead of using an integer sca

They sell Arduino compatible boards (amongst other things) from what I gather, so yes, they would be competitors.

Yeah, it's a nation. A nation of immigrants. Where did your great-great-great grandfather come from? Did he spontaneously erupt from this common ancestry and heritage that you speak of?

Glad to see that there's support for CPU sample flamegraphs in Perfetto now that's on par with Google's internal pprof visualizer as alluded to in the talk. Using the internal visualizer to share Windows ETW traces with colle

That's just the nature of these tools though. For example, Windows has its own powerful ETW tracing framework, but using it for real profiling and debugging requires learning a lot about the tools: https://randomascii.wordpr

Republicans can end the filibuster in the Senate with a simple majority after which they can pass the funding bill with a simple majority. But of course, they won't do that since it opens up other bills to be passed with a simple major

Would the interface nil example be clearer if checking for `nil` didn't use the `==` operator? For example, with a hypothetical `is` operator: package main import "fmt" type I interface{} type S struct{}

Ever heard of subpixel rendering? You can have pretty sharp text at even 90 ppi if your OS supports it. MacOS doesn't, probably because they didn't want the complexity of supporting it throughout their compositing/graphics st

So you haven't used a 32 inch 4K monitor which is ~135 ppi? What do you get at that size, a 5K or 6K monitor? Not many of those available and they have specific requirements like higher display port or thunderbolt bandwidth. There&#x27

I think they mean that the code base is small enough to be audited thoroughly. Maybe they should reword it to be clearer.

Except that chess is a perfect information game, but poker is not. Which means it's possible to tell if your opponent made a mistake in chess, but it might not be in poker. Disclaimer: chess novice, don't know anything about poke
