This chart is entirely misleading. In any given year, there are only 85k new H1B visas. That's it, it has not grown nor shrunk. Reason for increase in population shown here is H1B renewals. Normally the way this works is H1Bs convert t

Not to take away anything here, but hooks are present in other similar products. Atleast one example here - https://docs.aws.amazon.com/amazonq/latest/qdeveloper-ug/com...

I think the argument was that it has nothing to do with it, companies don't sit and follow a rule that prioritizes hiring H1Bs (talking about companies like Facebook here). In fact there are quite possibly a ridiculous number of steps

I don’t know why but your assumption that others are skating by with what they know rubbed me the wrong way (maybe because I have been on other side of this). There are likely many other valid reasons here - project deadlines (sometimes it

I wouldn't recommend this website for visa information. For example, I put in "United States" -> "Peru" - it says visa is required and when clicked on more information it takes me to a page where it lists which c

I found "Designing Data-Intensive Application" book to be really helpful introduction to learning more interesting details about distributed systems. The book provides a gentle introduction to build intuition around these systems

Just to provide an alternate perspective here, this seems to tilt the incentives towards people that are not working already. I wonder how many folks have time to take a week or more off from their current job to participate in this exercis

You keep moving the goal post. ISRO delivered some fantastic stuff on a very low budget, this is not about whether ISRO will be able to compete in future or not. Infact going by the current prices posted on SpaceX website and the amount it

It's not about the number of lives but it is about the state of fear that grips the state afterwards. That anything can happen and government has no power to stop that.

Are you sure about this? Reading wikipedia suggests only 90mg or higher unit dosage falls under Schedule II narcotic. You may not be guilty after all :) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Codeine#North_America

This is really cool, last week when I got bored of having lunch at the same place, I decided to write an app that picks a place for me but then it kinda got sidetracked. This gave me enough push to do it as my weekend project.

may be they should've relabeled the 13" MBP as Macbook and retired the white Macbook, frankly the specs are quite low except for the CPU.. display at 1280x800 :( But the 15" and 17" inchers look awesome with quads

I think the post is unnecessarily harsh on both Nokia and Microsoft. Windows Phone is now a lot better and is comparable with iOS/Android, only thing it is lacking is apps. Nokia making this decision much late in the game clearly knows that
