Yes that makes sense. I stand corrected. Thanks for the info!

As an experienced Canadian developer who is seeking a work visa to work in the US, it is actually extremely difficult to get one.

It seems as though the US prioritizes shit-developers/wannabe-engineers over experienced Canadian developers. Which kind of makes sense, in that you feed your own before feeding your neighbour.

So I really doubt that H1B flooding is a thing. Open to debate though.

That's not the reason. If that were the reason, death would swiftly make it so the best engineers are those with degrees.

The reason is because they learned out of innate curiosity and true passion. You always go farther with those.

However, you go even farther with curiosity, passion and a degree.

In Canada, you get sued if you call yourself an engineer when you're not part of an order of engineers.

Even if you're a bona fide engineer, but not enrolled in the order, calling yourself one opens the floodgates of hell where spaghetti coders do the same and get hired by retarded HR departments to take the lead on some mission-critical software.

I like this. I am a self-learned developer. When my peers call themselves engineers, I spit my coffee.

I just received an email informing me of the shutdown

Halting progress indeed seems like the commonsensical thing to do. A massive UI overhaul is not be the most resource-efficient course of action if you plan on announcing your demise. Hence my startling

And that's not all. Parse just did a full rebranding, including a full frontend overhaul of its dashboard.

What the hell is going on?

Where else are there iOS App Development Centers?

Fantastic. Is this the defacto tool? Can this be done without a tool?

What tool does one use to inspect requests?

What would be the two problems?

How would you envision the net though? A net does sound simpler but I have a hard time picturing it

Fair enough, how about some robotic arms on the drone ship ?

What does it mean that a leg broke? Correct me if I'm wrong cause I'm no expert, but I'd assume that there'd be some 'emergency' backup legs to address this kind of event?

What does "not upright" mean? Did it crash? Or is it simply in limbo, leaning, at an x degree angle?

Too much contradicting stuff on the internet, it's hard to know what to assimilate and what to filter out.

-To procrastinate, or not to procrastinate. That should not be a question

Off HN I go?

This

Any country that does not have a credit card / online banking system, which represents easily a quarter of the world's countries.

However you may have people who live in those countries, with dual citizenships/also live abroad, that make purchases from within those countries.

Elliott Alderson is that you

"make a dent"

funny how OP nods to steve today when he snitched him to sculley back in the day
