Helps avoid password resets and makes logins in apps much easier.
Then, if you do get a H1, you will likely never get a Green card given the current rules.
For short term (5-7 years), you may surely consider getting some sort of work visa. Long term, if you are looking for PR, US is not the one to look at for Indians.
I am in mid 30s, got PR approval 5 years ago. At current rate, I will retire and still not have a PR. It’s ridiculous, but not funny at all.
Sucks to have been sleepy and tired for all the years I can remember.
Can you elaborate on what MMA and TDP expansions are? Where are you (or the doc you refer) located?
I am completely fine with using CPAP, but if I don’t need it at all, that would be even better.
I have been testing payments with Stripe, using both an Indian and a US credit card.
I have standing instructions on Indian CC and get advance email notifications but it goes through.
Don’t even get any notification for US CC, except post payment notification.
Experience may vary for larger amounts, as mentioned in the comments here.
Wonder why it is never mentioned here on HN.
1. An in-person phone round interview at one of the social media Companies in the Bay Area. The interviewer came 10 min late, gave me a problem and was then busy as hell with his phone. At least he had the courtesy to tell me that there was a prod issue he was engaged in, but still, not cool.
The problem was tough as hell, and I didn’t solve it. There was no help/prompts either. I was curious about the source of the problem - and the person told me that it was his own personal twist on a problem from competitive programming competitions.
So, basically, unless you are a seasoned competitive programmer, you are screwed. Again, not cool.
2. An interview at one of the Big Banks in SF for a Engg role. One of the interviewers asked me about my current job and was visibly upset when I said it was cool and nice. Then they followed that up by being disinterested and openly hostile in the rest of the interview.
Didn’t get the job and dodged a bullet. But I still don’t understand what his problem was. Since when is it necessary to hate and abuse your current job when you look for the next one?
It's going to be Webdev with Flask. This is another vote for Python The Hard Way - will take a look at it, and get some hands-on time with Python.
As to the IDE, I am assuming they would be using PyCharm and that should be familiar since I use RubyMine. I'll check.
Hello fellow HN users,I expect to start a job soon where the main backend language is Python, with parts of Ruby and RoR in the stack. I have been a Ruby dev and have a beginner-level familiarity with Python - having read more than written.How should I go about increasing my competency in the language to a decent level as fast as possible. I am talking about general fluency and knowledge about...
Been using CPAP for almost 5 years now. Everyday is fantastically fresh with a regular ~7 hours of sleep. Can't recommend it enough. I am also on path to see if my Blood Pressure medicine can be stopped - since it is understood to be the side effect of Sleep Apnea in my case. Should become clear in a few months.
Also, been active for a year. Started just walking in the evening mandatorily - sometimes listening to podcasts, and other times just using it as a break from everything digital. Then, after a few months, split the walk-time into a morning and evening routine. Probably been regular at it for about 395 of the last 400 days. It's a habit now. Added running to the routine but it is a bit erratic still. Want to add HIIT / Weight-training to workout routine, but that hasn't stuck at all and will try again in a while.
As to the results, I am almost 11Kgs lighter from my max weight, feel healthy, BP is almost always normal, BMI is close to normal, resting heart rate has dipped significantly, and so much more. I track a ton of this info as it can help you stay motivated on the slow, low and tiresome days. :)
Wish you all the best - experiment and find something that suits you best!
I have previously seen some discussions on HN where folks have shared open-source or personally-developed solutions to parse reports and statements from various financial institutions.I need to parse and visualize statements over last few years and see the trends of spending. The statements are available only as PDF now. Is there any way to do this?Appreciate all pointers!
Some good domain names I found were suddenly not available and were up for auction on GoDaddy.
After a couple of times, I have completely ditched them for search.
Namecheap is good. Also use Google Domains for checking now.
I also send messages to myself on Slack.
Just to be clear, this awesome dad was taking his son to another town to appear for the 10th grade Math examination so that he does not fail the paper. Off-topic, but I am surprised that these exams are still being conducted. Most academic examinations are suspended as of now and may resume next month.
Anyways, though the situation was like this because most public transportation has been shut down, it is still a sad state of affairs - and I don’t know what to do about it nor what can be a solution.
Respect for this father who is striving to push his son at least a level up the economic ladder via education.
Decades ago, my father used to walk several miles a day to attend school. His dedication and hard work has probably pushed my family through 2 generations-worth of growth. I’d say we are upper middle-class in India right now. And I am eternally grateful to my family for their efforts.
Kudos to this father, and others who strive through utter misery to rise above the hand life has dealt them.
I am not American, but follow the politics. The content seems neutral to me but I haven’t really judged it seriously enough.
For me, the situation right now is almost amusing.
Had I been writing this comment yesterday, I'd have stated that things were fine despite the upheaval in the outside world and I was doing OK remotely in a job that paid well and it was fun to work with very smart people.
Today, I am out of a job and staring at sudden uncertainty in the near future. Still, compared to a year ago, I am more like myself - calm and composed. I am around family and have things to look forward to. The trauma and near-depression from a year ago seems significantly reduced. I am almost glad to realize that the damaged me from a year ago seems to have healed quite well.
The near future is uncertain, but I am optimistic. This shock and uncertainty might just be what I needed to finally get going and find my own path. Time will tell, and perhaps I will too - in the next year's thread.
The same question was asked just over a year ago - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20477104 and had several thoughtful and amazing answers.There has been global upheaval over the last few months. I feel the folks here would have great advice and tons of experiences that others can learn from.
What is the source of the data? How frequently is it updated?
Bookmarked. :)
Edit: Oh, I see the source now. I see they also have an API. My questions are pointless now. :|
Besides that, many technical sites and even apps/services leverage Carbon Ads network - I know that is not an affiliate recommendation, but something to look at if you are open to Ads (and if they accept your application)
Given that a ton of people have recommended AutoSleep here, I will give that a try as well and see which one seems to be better.
Better than losing the sole earning member of the family to an avoidable disease. :(
