I've been on the "right" since my earliest political memories (going back to about 2006). I just don't see that much having changed. It sounds like this myth of Republicans/right being super evil crazy people was fo

Above a certain price point you probably want an ad hoc sales process. $1000 flat rate sounds like an awkward price point. Expensive enough to not get any random sales, but might be too cheap to build a big B2B business around it. Especiall

What many are missing is our ability to have a voice has also grown tremendously over the years with social media. Just over a decade ago far fewer people could get to a point where their speech could be censored/sanctioned. It's

Feel the same way. Other than conference talks I hardly watch technical stuff on YouTube. Or really much of anything. Plus for the creator, making high-quality videos takes so much time. Seems like a part-time endeavor and given the niche i

Well the thing is if you npm install a lot of stuff using the WSL version there may be packages that include platform specific stuff. Then trying to run it with the native node might not work. But thinking of it I guess you could have all t

Well, if you consider that Europe then yes. For anybody living outside of the UK, going there isn't all that different from going to the US. The tuition is only somewhat cheaper too I think. As opposed to most "best" schools

Depends if you care about doing anything natively on Windows or not. Say Windows has perfectly good native support for NodeJS. If you go with WSL you'll be running WSL's Node. Many may not want that. Java/Clojure same deal. T

Well if you don't strictly need Ubuntu chances are your scripts would work with Cygwin. Which operates under the regular Windows paradigm. Then you can use native Emacs too[0]. I've been doing Clojure stuff on a pure Windows setup

It's not spelled out clearly, but I'm understanding that the main rationale here is to: - have an Ubuntu dev environment, - while benefiting from Win's RDP - AND also having access to native Windows for testing.

I would gladly pay for a search engine that actually did some things better than Google. Like say being better at finding [semi]exact phrases, especially longer ones. Something that focused on the long tail of search queries. Also, yes, I d

Seems like nowadays, to grow a user-driven content/social site you just have to be backed by a big player or grow extremely fast to be too big to censor. Or pick a category that somehow totally flies under the radar.

Any CLJS code has to bundle the CLJS runtime. CLJS doesn't compile to idiomatic JS, for example a vector will be a cljs.core/PersistentVector not a JS Array. So code for most CLJS basics has to be bundled with any CLJS code to run

Two main considerations: Does the bundle size matter? CLJS bundles are not terribly huge but if you need a very lightweight bundle you're out of luck. Vs plain JS there is just no comparison. Vs plain JS + just a few libraries CLJS wil

As an individual your chances are no doubt increased. But at a 65,000 + 20,000 H1B quota that is oversubscribed about 1 to 3 it's hard to imagine a situation where it somehow doesn't get exhausted. Over 2/3 of H1B applicants

by auganov 6y ago
Right, but correct me if I'm wrong, your H1B will still be subject to the same H1B limit. And given there are many more people applying than the limit allows for how could it result in less net immigration via H1B?

by auganov 6y ago
H1B are limited and this doesn't let you skip any lines so doubt it will have much of an effect on net immigration. Other than the very few (well maybe it's common, no idea) people who might get married or qualify for an O-1 and s
