I've flagged this because this is needlessly inflammatory and doesn't really contribute to meaningful discussion.

Yes I am especially curious to know how they manage state in desktop GUIs - if it's events and callback based or some other kind of functional architecture

interesting insight! Do you by chance know what's the current model used by windows right now with WPF or UWP or whatever they call it today ?

Can someone explain how is this even legal ? Isn't this entrapment ? And what's the objective of this sting operation anyways ? It's not like students on F1 Visa know what is legal and what isn't, especially with US immi

This looks like a retail goods analogy for SWIFT type system for connecting different retail marketplaces to one another. I always thought the economics of drop shipping would never work but looks like it is profitable even with a processin

Yeah but why does it have less protein per cup (I think 8g) than other brands of greek yogurt (typically 20g)?

Other than startup time, the wasm demo is very responsive on an underpowered moto g7. I'm shocked. Excellent work.

yeah but only they can write the law and nominate judges to enforce it. IMO getting rid of the tax subsidy for employer sponsored insurance, enforcing anti-trust law on health providers (insurance, hospitals, etc.) by forcing them to disclo

An episode of the excellent econtalk podcast [1] discusses a similar theme. There is massive levels of dematerialization happening right now since so much commerce and activity has moved to the internet and general purpose computing devices

If I understand this correctly, do they mean Firefox desktop GUI is rendered using HTML elements? I understand chrome UI controls are based on skia. If yes, is this available as some kind of framework that can be used to develop custom desk

I just saw that picture. It's an actual LCA approval. Never knew you could get an H1B approved for those rates. I thought the minimum was $60k. I stand corrected, please accept my apologies.

I wonder what the government has done so far with the ACIWA fee paid with every H1B filed. This is in addition to the premium processing fee which enables USCIS to run a budget surplus.

by vsskanth 7y ago
The reality is both highly skilled professionals and the run-of-the-mill IT contractor jobs end up in the same H1B bucket. This leads to skewed perceptions since the latter seems to be massively exploited by certain companies.

>They count some of the University benefits as contributing to the salary This is not true and simply can't happen. Every single H1B filing data is online and public so if you want to refute me you are free to post the exact filing.

Not on short notice. Need to find an employer willing to sponsor and pray H1B application gets approved. Takes months. I agree it's much easier if you're in tech though.

This is an unfortunate reality of journalism today. I've even seen bigger news outlets operate in a similar manner. They just look for data that fits a narrative without bothering to actually dig deeper and find out why. This case is e

These H1Bs might be for renewal of 3 yr extensions, transfer from another employer or a first time H1B selected through lottery. The article doesn't mention the spread. Usually you have to dig deeper into USCIS data to differentiate. S

Assuming you want to work in tech, I would recommend starting out in India for your first job. The startup scene is really good there and the growth and experience would be very valuable. Spend your first few years in a small company and th

I think I can provide some context. When I was working as engineer in an R&D group for a large corporation, I typically have to email a lot of vendors and buy a sample to test it out for solving some internal. Ghosting usually happens w

If you like Simulink, you will love Modelica. Steep learning curve, but it blew my mind once I understood it.

I wonder why they went with their own proprietary network as opposed to lorawan. Would be good to know what they found lacking. Probably the range due to 915 mhz fcc power limits. 60 miles is very impressive. Also couldn't figure out t

This is actually a great idea. You get all the readability and ease of access of a DSL with a strong language backend. In fact, some gui-heavy software have a python interface to write some automations or plug-ins to extend functionality be

It's a bimodal distribution. H1B doesn't really have a job market test. You just need to justify it's a job that requires a bachelor's degree and pays whatever the DOL wage data says should be the prevailing wage for tha

Initially they weren't. Then there was an obama era executive order that allowed work authorization for dependents of H1B, provided they have an approved green card petition. Mostly only Indians use it because they have the biggest bac
