Awesome. Please keep developing this. Weird nit : I couldn't pass underneath the walkways on Webster and Geary in Japantown
This was my first thought too!
Is there something like pg_query for Oracle ? I want to use it for making AST's out of Oracle SQL queries
I just tried this out on a bunch of log files that were lying around. Excellent! I would love to connect this to a SQL database through ODBC/ JDBC and ask questions about the data. Does anyone have a tool that they use already for this usecase ?
I second the podcast recommendation. Empire pod has been truly worth every bit of the time. I am currently on the episode about History of coffee - ethiopia, ottoman turks etc.
I have been working in Erlang for almost 5 years now. I want to add my experience as anecdote. I joined the current company because it was solving an interesting problem and just happened to use Erlang. I didn't self select for curiosity or learning a new language. Erlang was the tool available to me do the work that I wanted to do.
Cheers to all you Basho/Riak folks. I have worked with one before!
Someone somewhere is already working on naming their project Lehsun.. /s
1. The problem with established rules and timelines is they are have been outdated for decades and do not reflect the reality we live in. If the same logic was applied to federal minimum wage, it would never be raised because the number has been well established at an arbitrary time in the past. That is surely not the case and hence timely revisions are necessary.
2. Immigrants are absolutely aware of this. That is reason why overall skilled immigration has not grown by leaps and bounds in the last few years like it did decades ago. US is no longer the top destination of choice for international students in STEM fields. It is only a matter of time that you'd see the effects on overall productivity. The Social Security Administration is already hinting towards this future. The funds are supposed to run out by 2041 (reference https://www.ssa.gov/newsletter/Statement%20Insert%2025+.pdf ) . Quoting from the document ".. the birth rate is low, the ratio of workers to beneficiaries is falling.." . The US simply doesn't have enough productive people to fund benefits for the population for the coming decades.
You should not take every immigrant. Take immigrants who bring their skills and productivity to you. Don't make their lives difficult with unnecessary hoops to jump through. Skilled immigration is not asylum or illegal immigration.
I think it is more about leaving their comfort zones. One might have to move out of their towns / states to access resources that the US has to offer. Dozens of US states offers so much support to their students studying STEM. You can defer education loan payments. There is so much federal aid. There are dirt cheap colleges if you want to get vocational education and start working quickly. But all of these are not available in one city. They are spread across the nation.
Globalization is a two way street. If you want the best of what the world has to offer, the best of what the world has to offer will arrive at your doorstep. That includes human resources.
This "unlimited number" argument is a common dog whistle. If the Dept of Labor is certifying each one of the qualified immigrants and vetting the credentials, how is this unlimited?
Sorry. This does not seem like an odd retort to me. Just because you are opposed to the general idea does not make it easy :)
From your comments, it seems like you have little exposure to the actual time and effort spent in the patent process. And that is okay!
Short Answer : New steel is coming from overseas.
I think regions / steel industries in the region go through phases. I can draw upon my experience with one of the biggest steel manufacturers in India and Europe. SE Asia is going through a phase where most of the steel consumption is met by primary steel, new steel made from blast furnaces consuming iron ore. A lot of that steel is exported but there is a very big domestic market.
The need for secondary steel (made from old steel scraps) will become important in the future for SE Asia. Back in the US, this is already the case.
Primary and Secondary steel have different properties. Secondary steel can not be used for some applications, they can only use Primary. Vice versa, using primary steel for some applications might not be economically feasible for some applications.
Most wholesome thread on HN in recent memory.
What's a good place to start learning about these patterns ?
Just because it isn't published in a journal with latin1 characters doesn't mean it isn't true
If you understand Hindi, Gareeb Scientist has an amazing video about the landing algorithm issues of Chandrayaan-2

Is this a "Coupon*" company based out of India ?
They might have moved here as part of college visa programs but they needed H1B to work and build their skill set. The college visa (F1/ J1) does not come with a work authorization beyond 3 years.
The double double is living up to its name.
I see an Indian name I'll tend to skip over itNot racist at all, LOL!
A solution to that would be tightening up admission requirements. But if universities deem that applicants are legit, there is no detriment to the supposed "influx" that you are pointing to. At that point, that's just the US drawing in trained labor force
Spotify's catalog for Indian languages is smaller than Youtube. Not only is YT Music's collection larger, the recommendation system works better for Indian languages too. I have been that the autoplay follows the mood/ type of the song better than Spotify.
This oddly similar to Bhagwad Gita's interpretation of the universe.
