Blind is mostly Indian and some Chinese. Two cultures that care a shit load about money and prestige. I would know, I am from one of those cultures.

learning that Knuth uses Emacs has been my proudest moment as an Emacs user.

Hahahaha, I am Indian and your statement is so wrong. The Brits were nowhere close to the Islamic invaders when it come to genocides in India. The latter would kill people from tens thousands to hundreds of thousands, in one go just because

RIP, your majesty! The end of an era, from volunteering in WW-II, to seeing the empire break, and the world getting crazier now.

In the trading industry, DE Shaw and Five Rings are the two places that care about school prestige well into someone's career. All other firms don't give a crap about it once someone has some experience. I went to a crap school in

Their interns are easily the top 1% of CS students in the US. Some of their interns who attend CMU already have OCaml experience, as CMU uses OCaml for their compilers course. Some of their interns have interned at other trading firms.

Jane Street gets a shit ton of applicants. Every slightly ambitious college grad applies there. Same for experienced roles, it's full of FAANG folks hoping to get in.

The point was about being a modern democracy and not just literacy rates. You're cherry-picking to prove your point. Afghan literacy rates are abysmal because the Taliban follows a much more stricter interpretation of Islam than Iran d

Sure sure. You keep believing that they'd be a great example of a functional democracy.

Afghanistan in the 70's is proof of that. When the cities started modernizing, including education more women and giving them more freedoms, the people in the countryside and the clerics got pissed off and deemed it un-Islamic. Shah or

Because X here is a very large number. Almost all Chinese nationals are very pro-CCP. The results are being seen in Canada, where a lot of the Chinese diaspora has started "Confucius Centers" as a way to support the CCP and spread

Him and people like him have the same routine: 1. Paint the US as a monster. 2. If you counter them with the "xyz is an authoritarian nation", they'll all circle back to #1 as the main reason as to why some country is authori

Spot on! The issue with Chomsky and his supporters is that they seem to completely paint the US as a monster, and authoritarian nations like Iran as completely innocent. It is funny as hell that Iranians will happily chant "Death to Am

I completely agree with this. I have seen papers produced by a bunch of newly minted PhD's and the first thought that came in my mind was "WTF is this? There's nothing in this that's new or makes sense". A lot of pu

They probably do in crappy places. I am an H1B, work in HFT and can say that in big tech and HFT's, H1B's are paid fairly well, probably in the top tier. BTW, the L1 visa is even worse. The people bought in via that visa are also

In SWE jobs, a lot of AWS teams are allowing remote, still not worth the ultra-crap culture.

and how do they plan on bringing all of them? There are 85,000 new H1B visas in a given year, and they cannot be used for warehouse workers. The work visas are mainly for white collar jobs, and the only way then can bring a ton of foreign w

Left wingers overwhelmingly support immigration of poor people, from poor nations. They think these people would benefit the most out of immigrating to the US. They too, like the right wingers, despise white collar workers immigrating here,

Both the left and the ring wing voters despise work visa programs. There are a few in the US, only H1B's get the hate since it is the most used of all work visa programs, and highly publicized as well.

As a C++ dev, compiler explorer has been a great tool. Not only for quick checks, or playing around with new C++ features via small programs; even for code reviews it's a great way to show why doing something in a particular way is bet

My thoughts exactly. Google has already done quite a lot of work on LLVM, as an example. Python is among their most used programming languages, this something they could totally assemble engineers to do.
