That's not accurate. H-1B is a non-immigrant visa. It's not intended for tourists. From CBP's own website[1], emphasis is mine: An immigrant visa (IV) is issued to a foreign national wishing to live permanently in the U

Southern California is in. Took a bit longer than planned since as you'll see there were quite a few other improvements today: https://indigene.app/release-notes/0.24/ I'll move on to other parts soon, l

Some are pretty crude but it was one of the hardest things to determine when dealing with a fairly small garden. I agree they’ve been very useful before and sometimes after planting when it becomes clear you might have to relocate a plant.

Fixed via https://github.com/olivierlacan/indigene/pull/105 Thanks again for the suggestion. It’ll take some refining but I also included nearby cities so it’s easier to get a sense of scale and proximity.

Fair criticism, this is based on EPA Level III/IV Ecoregions (cited in https://github.com/olivierlacan/indigene/blob/main/DATA_SOUR... ) but I agree there should be a way to see it in a clear map. Le

It’s so nice to know you’ve worked on this. I’m very curious what sources you used. The most fun I had with Indigene was when I decided to add French ecoregions so my parents could use the app too. Most of the work is in this PR where I use

This is all the motivation I needed. I want to add more species to Florida first because this project finally came to life thanks to a visiting friend who still lives in Florida and struggles to find what to plant around her house.

Thank you, it’s very explicitly the result of a relatively tight but fast TDD development process with Opus (4.8 & 5 mostly), a lot of cross-referencing with established sources (see https://indigene.app/sources ), and

Keep a Changelog[0] maintainer here, weirdly seeing this while deep into work on way overdue 2.0 "release"[1], which should be out very soon. I've had to contend with Conventional Commits both in the OSS world and at work a

Had the same thought reading this but I suspect what's in the gemspec could accidentally differ from what's in the RubyGems.org metadata, although that should probably not be possible. From working on RubyGems.org a long time ago

If you've used any non-iRobot vacuum alternatives in the last 5 years and ever owned a Roomba in the past there should be nothing surprising about this headline. It's shocking to me how good Roborock mop-vacuums are for example, E

Thank you for sharing this. Reading memories from the people Noah impacted in his life feels like a good way to understand the kind of person he was.

West coast folks should give the NHC's interactive map a try. The static map gets copied around a lot but the interactive map will let you see the past/current track (remember the track doesn't matter, it's just a best g

That's not comparable at all to 4.80% APY savings and checking accounts in the U.S. right now with far more flexible rules. This kind of return on ultra flexible accounts is basically unheard of in most of Europe in recent memory as

Sadly there are a lot of third-party operated documentation sites that exist likely because of how hard-to-discover the official API documentation site is. It's something the community would like to address, but given the amount of lin

That's a fairly inappropriate comparison in level of expertise necessary to design a system: LVL beams are picked by structural engineers, not by framers who generally install them where they're needed, based on a structural desig

Careful, your phrasing makes it seem like you mean that making DST permanent is a bad idea. Your links argue the opposite: that making DST permanent is much healthier than switching back & forth.

You don't "have to disagree". You're presenting a very different context than the one the author presents, a decidedly non-European working environment. The one you relate has far more balanced relationships between empl
