It is of course possible to break these rules via promotion, e.g. having two dark square bishops is entirely possible.

No, H1-B is a "dual intent" visa, i.e. you are allowed to transition from one to a green card. Something like a TN visa is actually intended for temporary skilled workers.

I also went to try it out and gave up in frustration. Getting "embeddings" in particular seems critical to having it work well but also extraordinarily hard to try out, I'm not actually sure if you are required to pay sourceg

The 300 hours I spent completing Space Exploration were a lot of fun, but it definitely feels very stretched out and grindy. One of the hardest things to do in game design is to make cuts & simplify, but the end result is usually much b

Like any technology, there are both positive and negative aspects of it. The positive take would probably be that this technology is already widely used by iOS and Android apps. People use Apple's AppAttest to e.g. ensure that high sco

I've found that IntelliJ is much better at having code completion always work , even in the presence of macros. Rust Analyzer has a tendency to randomly break down when you're writing code, even with something as simple as the ve

Last time I tried this, the plugin was incapable of actually showing compile errors in the project view and they said their false positive error rate was too high to enable it ( https://github.com/intellij-rust/intellij-

OOP is a tool like any other, and it has real costs and benefits. The original idea of being able to easily add new common APIs via inheritance is very powerful and widely applicable. In fact both Haskell and Rust wound up with a similar me

I've never used Go, but do you really not need to create anything similar to a Cargo.toml file specifying dependencies to create a package? That doesn't seem like it could be true within Google since they would use blaze to comp

What is the probability of an asteroid hitting the earth and wiping out humanity? I've seen numbers like 0.000001%, yet NASA is spending real money on mitigating this risk. Is the risk of fast takeoff AI dramatically lower than that?

This seems to mostly be an argument that implicit conversions are harmful. I think that's generally agreed to be true, most newer programming languages require all type conversions to be explicit.

This just feels like taking two unrelated things and bunching them together under a label in order to be provocative and imply that software 2.0 will "replace" existing code. If you surveyed e.g. all of the code Google has in thei

Tried it out. I like this idea, but requiring two hands is a deal-breaker for me. I need to be able to switch apps while my hands are over the keyboard without needing mouse/trackpad interaction, ideally staying as close to home row as

I believe this is the same string representation Rust uses? Although in Rust the empty string is guaranteed to not allocate memory, not sure if that's true here.

Neat, hadn't heard of Shuttle. Any plans to support Tonic out of the box? We're pretty locked-in to gRPC instead of HTTP unfortunately.

There are phenomena in the universe that, for example, general relativity does not predict correctly. Is your conclusion that we should discard any useful theory which ever fails to match an observation? Would someone who relied on Newton

Little suspicious of a tool with no pricing information from a company that just raised $20 million. I assume it will not remain free.

I can't immediately think of any really big differences, and the ones that do exist are more down to cultural differences (e.g. Google has a much more involved/rigorous code review process, which is reflected in their tools). Merc

Every non-trivial (>10k lines) Cocoa/iOS/Android application I've ever seen or worked on has re-implemented at least some parts of React's data flow model. It's surprising to me that the author glosses over handl

So you'd stop running tests for all of the calling code? It sounds like you have a higher level of confidence than I do that non-API changes can never break any downstream repositories in subtle ways.

How does not having a monorepo solve this problem? They would still need to compile and run the same code in order to run these tests between 1000 small repositories vs 1 large one, presumably they see a lot of value in end-to-end tests. Is

I'm confused how data structures work in this language, and there's no documentation about it as far as I can tell. Is this going to be a Rust-style vectors+iterators system? It it going to use purely-functional concatenative stru

Animation is usually the biggest pain point with frameworks like this -- and it usually feels like a complete afterthought for framework designers. Of course you always have the simple CSS-style stuff (here's a list of properties you c

Even for me as a programmer, waiting for a lengthy compile cycle in order to test something like a simple logical change is pretty painful. Game programming is overwhelmingly done in low-level languages like C++/Rust which have awful c

You have committed the logical fallacy of 'to quoque', responding to criticism with criticism. The scrutiny (or lack thereof) for other individuals is of course irrelevant to the question.

The overwhelming conclusion I've drawn from this pandemic is that it's ultimately about people's level of trust in their own ability to analyze data vs trust in authority figures. There have been so many examples of 'vac

So, there are basically no consumer products on this table that have a respectable accuracy, right? The ones with good R² values all seem to be $1000+ scientific tools.
