I think that hiding money in a divorce is illegal and you made this post with what is presumably your real name. But maybe money you squirreled away before getting married is different, i dunno. IANAL.

I'm not on TN but I have used it in the past. If Trump ends NAFTA I would imagine the TN visa would go with it since it's part of NAFTA. I'm sure it would disrupt a lot of lives.

I would wager it's easier to waltz over the US-Canada border than the US-Mexico border if you were so inclined.

I assume you're American and have had no experience with the US immigration system? Because they definitely do not do that in the US.

If you disagree with me how about you talk about it like an adult instead of degrading this conversation into shitposting? Trump is not Mitt Romney. If Romney had have won in 2012, not much would be different in all likelihood. In the cas

Could not agree more. I'm a Canadian living in the US right now so I've effectively contributed to Canada's brain drain, but this is a unique opportunity for them to make some moves to try to turn it around a bit.

It's possible to do with a switch statement as well (in C). Edit: Would be nice if the original author of that code snippet threw in some parentheses for a little clarity with the operator precedence.

I read the linked article on Implementers, Problem Solvers, and Problem Finders. I think that, given that the job market is very much on the side of programmers, that people need to be more choosy with what they take. You usually know goi

If you had a nice exit you might be able to use that as EB-1 evidence. That would be a much better route than EB-5. Talk to an immigration attorney about it.

Yeah the publicity requirement is tough. In my case it's been a couple of projects I've started (one before was a finalist in TechCrunch Disrupt) and my current startup that have gotten press, but never me as an individual. Fort

wait wait wait -- you're able to find a decent apartment for $1k in Toronto? I was there and lived in a shithole for $1200 and that was 6 years ago.

sure, we all ride the ebb and flow of the economy, but if we were talking about developing countries or even historically impoverished communities in the US i suspect it would be harder to make the argument that education doesn't help.

I don't really have the time, energy, or knowledge to create a fully cited refutation of the author other than to say that this just seems really wrong. It might not be technically wrong because the author seems to be citing facts an

I don't think that those two options are mutually exclusive, you can specialize and keep up with the times...I think you kinda need to recognize the direction the times are moving in to keep up though.

ok, are Google planning on supporting HLS if they're ditching flash? I see this site is saying that it does (with their player) -- so does it natively or are these guys doing a transmux in Javascript similar to HLS.js and others?

Yeah I'm with you that something like Reason would be incredibly interesting to see open sourced. I think the fact that they made all of the instruments and effects processors themselves instead of relying on VSTs that would be real

With iOS and other mobile platforms at least the GPU and CPU generally share the same memory, so it is possible to create buffers that are accessible by both (in the case of iOS you would use CVOpenGLESTextureRef or CVMetalTextureRef)

This seems to be about job ads. Job ads almost always list a bachelor's degree as a requirement, but I don't think it's a hard and fast rule for most places.
