After seeing it in a larger context like that, I'm even more in agreement with OP. The weirdly random letter alignment screws with my brain much more than I thought from just the localized examples in the topic link. I'll stick to

PERM certification is the closest to corporate brain drain that exists. On top of that, people overlook the O1 visa. Both of these are visas that the regular person just can't compete with. They're for individuals the US wants to

Except, of all nations in the world, the US is still by far the largest foreign skilled talent hirer. Brain drain is something they bought into during the cold war and this idea that "they don't have talent" is ridiculous.

Sure, but that's the point. It's assigning credit/blame to the legislation in question. Not some arbitrary lines on the ground that also have terrible anti-legislation.

Microsoft has supported IMAP for decades. And, even today, they're nowhere near the top of the heap in email control. So what exactly is the goal of their master plan? They stop using IMAP for their Hotmail and Outlook.com accounts? Bi

I don't know why political entities are brought into these conversations other than for some sense of high-horsedness or a figurative pissing contest. GPDR is good. So is CCPA, COPRA, etc. Meanwhile, both the EU and the US have plenty

Yes. But you're going to have a unique TCP connection per host, at minimum. Unless I'm misunderstanding the problem you're raising, it seems like a non-issue for the majority of people with multiple accounts (a work email, a

I was literally going to point this out but missed it in the article. All of my "Gen Z" family and colleagues invest, certainly, but many "invest" in the same way a millennial invests when they visit Las Vegas.

It looks pretty nice. I would say that they are falling into the same trap as other native toolkits, in that they are targeting win32/MFC components. As Windows users are probably going to be your number one utilizers of target applica

I think they're referring to the Core/Penryn series (the " direct " ancestor to modern Intel x86s). But even that goes back to the P6->P5->486->386->286->8086->8088->8080->8008->CTC lineage of

Yes, again, for deciding the sentencing. OP is complaining about knowing how long he'll be in jail after being sentenced. At which point it's trivial to deduce release date and earliest possible parole.

I don't understand "compiling code" as a metric. Do you mean Swift and Objective-C? Or do you mean general things like Rust and C++? Based on multiple benchmarks, the Ryzen 6000 series and Alder Lake series should outperform
