I used to work developing software for a municipal government. The room I was in had like 15 people in it. Everyone in that room except me and a junior dev had "manager" in their job title.

> Where are exceptions coming up? Exceptions are the only situation I can imagine where an early return would even happen/ matter. Though in this case it wouldn't. > That's not necessarily a bad thing. It definitely is. When I say 'higher level' I mean not-assembly. The critical thing is that the compiler/ optimizer can reshuffle your instructions to make them faster/ break your assumptions about how long the code runs for. > If time is a consideration (and if we're honest it might not be, even in a high security setting) No, timing attacks are really fundamental. They're always relevant. Your approach is basically "add a time sleep" and this is a flawed method. You could also say "Always insert a random sleep" and again, this is vulnerable. There's lots of research on timing attacks. edit: Here's a fun read, https://github.com/nodejs/node/commit/079acccb563ba5b3888e40f59037dc5fa3ba5bbd The point though is that even something like password authentication is way more complicated than developers realize. There's a whole lot more than 'salt and hash'.

No. "Computer Programmer", "Software Developer", "Software Engineer", "Application Developer", etc... are all distinct/different titles with regard to H1B applications. AFAIK "Computer Programmer"-s are paid less than other mentioned titles, according to H1B data.

I disagree with this sentiment. I can see web based technologies replacing the GUI aspects of applications I've worked on but a lot of the underlying code could not be replaced with "web dev" without major performance penalties.

Hum, didn't think about that at the time. We wanted to pack as much information as possible, without using the uncertain `std::vector<bool>` implementation. Yes, the system was big. How many bytes a `enum` uses? If it's the same as a `int`, then using ` char` cuts the memory usage by 4.

That source was a little difficult to follow, but all the sources I could find put the average effective tax rate at around 34% and the US average effective tax rate at around 26% which is a pretty significant difference, especially when many European countries are in the 40s. Especially since there are a lot of places with no state/local income tax (DFW).

Have you ever worked in a high-security environment? Something so secure you could be shot? I have, albeit in a non-technical position at the time -- and let me tell you the subsecond-deltas it takes for the time for you to insert your CAC to entry mean pretty much jack-shit when you tampering with the entry-/validation-mechanism^1 (a requirement for the sort of system being talked about) in any way is very possibly going to get you shot. > Your approach is basically "add a time sleep" and this is a flawed method. You could also say "Always insert a random sleep" and again, this is vulnerable. That's not "*add a time sleep*" it's a "*don't return until X time has passed*" -- if you do your analysis like the comment suggested, you would set your minimum time to the worst-case time of the validation method thereby making validation a constant-time operation. And again, time might not be an issue. Yes, it might be fundamental to some attacks, but the entire system itself might preclude those attacks. ^1 -- This is actually required for the sort of timing attack you're talking about, the inaccuracies and human motions themselves would introduce too much variableness for any sort of accuracy on the timing.

The section on MySQL is wrong, I'm guessing this is ANSI standard: fractional number literals are fixed decimal, not float. Float requires exponential notation so you'd have to do `select 1e-1+2e-1`, which does have the unexpected result. MS SQL Server gives back 0.3 in any case.

> I submit password 'aaaaaa' knowing it hashes to some deterministic output, and I use that. You will compare the hashes not the input. So the time difference you may or may not be able to measure is the time difference it takes to compare different hashes. So if your password is "password1" and you send "password0" the hashes of both are most likely vastly different and the comparison might fail on the first check, thus you will get no information. You basically have to generate input that will produce a certain hash so you can do the comparison you want to do. This is highly expensive. I don't think this is a viable strategy.

> The point is that the problem itself has fairly obvious success conditions. Those are not as obvious as you claim. There are several ways to reverse a binary tree, most people won't be creative enough to come up with many of them, it took many smart people a lot of time to fiddle with the algorithms, analyze the complexity of those, try them and publish those. All in the comfiness of working alone and not being watched by a group of people that will decide if you are employed next month. If the candidate doesn't come up with the solution that the interviewer expects can be problematic for example. I think these are all interesting problems that would be nice to know how to solve in one's repertoire, don't get me wrong. I'm just afraid that 99% of jobs out there don't need these skills but many others (if these jobs are crap of course is debatable heheh).

These things are colloquially the same, but from what I understand, the USCIS wants software engineers to hold higher responsibilities and more accountability than computer programmers. If you lived in a waterfall world, you can think of the programmer as the code monkey, and the engineer as the guy who talks to people, collects requirements, creates the architecture and designs, etc. The exact questioning that you are subject to varies by point of entry and phase of the moon. In my experience, US immigration is best compared to some magic ritual. You can reduce friction by holding your magic scroll high, uttering the ancient words when the stars are right and as you stand at the right location in the material plane to attract the favors of the powers that be, even though rationally, you would think that none of these things matter.

That's fine. In which case I'm sure it was a nice learning exercise but speaking from experience if you are going to make something always make it a library first and then layer on any extra syntax. The reason is that using a programming language gives you a lot more capabilities and you re-invent fewer wheels to accomplish the task. If the library is designed properly then everyone benefits and layering on YAML or any other syntax on top of the library is much easier. As it stands it is not clear to me if I can take your go project and use it as a library in some other go project or if I need to really use it through the YAML syntax.

It's what my first "real" employer used in evaluating candidates. We said goodbye to many with all the right schools and courses on their resumes but who lacked passion and talent. They would answer theoretical questions fantastically, but when going just slightly outside their comfort zone, they would tank. Conversely, candidates with no training but a history of tinkering (and oftentimes contributing to OSS) would often encounter unfamiliar concepts, but they would appropriate them quickly and use them well in the follow-up questions. It's not really a very advanced concept, come to think of it. It's simply valuing potential. :)

> Have you ever worked in a high-security environment? > Something so secure you could be shot? Nope. I worked briefly for a government contractor as an intern, and I don't think anyone was getting shot. > 1 -- This is actually required for the sort of timing attack you're talking about, the inaccuracies and human motions themselves would introduce too much variableness for any sort of accuracy on the timing. This isn't true over time. If your distribution is even, over a number of connections I can deduce min/max and average values of variance and eliminate them from the data. I would send the same password n times, find out how long it took each time, and eliminate noise. This is why inserting random time delays into auth doesn't work. > That's not "add a time sleep" it's a "don't return until X time has passed" Yes, as in sleep until that time has passed. Sounds super error prone and implementation defined. I don't understand why you wouldn't just use a constant time function, which will always work and requires 0 system calls / measurement etc. > Yes, it might be fundamental to some attacks, but the entire system itself might preclude those attacks. Maybe. But in any authentication scheme you're assuming an attacker can send you arbitrary passwords repeatably. Maybe you can rate limit to make things infeasible, in which case kudos, mitigated at some other level. Maybe you use 'double HMAC' or some other technique. My point is that it's far more complicated than 'salt and hash'. edit: I can also clarify something - you don't have to write your password comparison in assembly. You can implement other strategies. But *given the code I provided* the issue is that it is vulnerable to a timing attack - whether solved through constant time comparisons (what I would consider the simplest, most elegant solution) or another strategy, the code I posted is vulnerable to that attack.

Your assumption is that the hashing scheme is a secret. Naturally, password0 and password1 are going to produce very different hashes. But I could know their hashes ahead of time. So now you have to protect what your hashing algorithm is in order for your equality comparison to be safe - feels like trading problems for problems.

Key word is "try". Canada visa criteria was put in place/negotiated to keep Canadians stuck in Canada. It's very difficult to transfer from TN to H1B. I've been working in the US 3 years now, just got an additional 3 year extention on my TN last week. But none of that time carries over for a green card application because I'm on the TN visa and cannot apply for it. So in the future if I do get transferred only then can I start the 7 year process.

> so that people on the in get their applications approved. Taking these rules on face-value, it looks like it actually affects two different groups of jobs differently: It prioritizes visas for roles that require multiple or advanced degrees (e.g. computer-vision researchers) as opposed to software engineers in general. > If anything, a Google may now pay everybody LESS because of simple supply & demand By saying "everybody", I think you're conflating those two groups, who will each see different outcomes. * General software engineers making moderate amounts may see an increase in wages, because they aren't fighting the flood of body-shop stuff from Tata/Infosys/etc. * Specialized engineers already earning big-bucks may see a decrease in wages, because their foreign competition is now actually able to get visas at a higher rate due to less body-shop spam of the visa process. > This is not a win for jingoistic commenters, or any of us in this forum. Statistically speaking, most of us here are probably in the "general" category, in which case I'd expect this whole thing is good news.

Yep, that's what I'm doing. If you serialize data to and from JSON, then you can used typed data both on the client and server without needing reflection. As for Material Design with NG2 Dart, I'm working on wrapper components for material-components-web, and would greatly appreciate help. I'm still somewhat surprised that a Google product has no real Material Design support. You can, of course, also have a TypeScript frontend with an Angel backend. The only downsides are no code-sharing, and the only way to get code completion on models is to manually generate them, or code generation. Also, the official Angel client libraries unfortunately won't work with TS. *sigh*

I understand the logic behind the desire to limit outsourcing, but any move to reduce the number of highly qualified people coming from other countries lacks any sense. These people are human capital. Many of the guys I know are making $100k+, but have to wait for years to get citizenship. When people like that who are making 2+ times the average American income migrate into the US its an enormous brain gain. These are people who will contribute Its ridiculous how long and hard it is for these people to immigrate right now. If anything I feel bad for all of the countries that lose many of their best people to us.

Is it compiled or interpreted? Does it have static types? Garbage collector? What is its paradigm? Nothing useful is written there. Only videos and blog. Complete "overview" of "features" provide absolutely no tangible data, no examples, no information what so ever. If it is really built for "good programmers" then provide technical data they can appreciate it, not marketing BS empty words. Closest thing to info is "replacing C" line, which would probably imply it is statically typed compiled language. Too bad I don't care to dig further to find out. Poor, poor website.

I'm not speaking to that question at all. Article author said that Wordpress allowed the upload of executable files by default and it doesn't. I pointed that out. In fact, I think both of the security measures (the original one I spoke to and the secondary one that you brought up) are wise to implement. In fact, files in WPs uploads directory are not executable by default either.

If you read the article, the salaries are already attached to the applications. So google can't go back and say "we're your only option, so we're only paying minimum wage". It's too late. Your scenario makes no sense. And by next year, no on will have an "in".

You're using the example of all hires. You should instead consider only top programmers, for which their *demand is higher than their supply*, which is why they are looking for foreign citizens. Oil's price is determined by what it costs to pull the last barrel out of Canada's tar sands. Similarly, the star programmer is the one who gets paid less because Google's supply has increased.

The problem is that salaries are a really poor metric, as they do not take into account the cost of life of the particular area. This includes *taxes*, *housing costs*, *insurances*, *health care*, ... I know that in France, there is a huge difference in salaries between the capital (Paris) and the country-side. Taxes are more or less equal, but housing costs are twice/thrice higher in Paris, insurances are higher (more risks of theft, car accidents, ...), and even food is slightly more expensive surprisingly. Thus, rather than comparing "bare" numbers, I'd rather compare a ratio salary/costs. *Note: I know there are arguments that you can skimp on Health Care/Unemployment; it's a bet that decrease costs, certainly...*

What you're describing is a competitive global market, which has nothing to do with the H1B visa program. It was intended to help bring in talent to the states when none could be found locally. The problem is, since that program was enacted, talented and qualified graduates have been pouring into the market, all while this program continued. The problem is they aren't being hired when cheap labor can be brought in. Over 90% of the H1B visas are going to three consultant companies in India within the tech industry and they game the process by flooding it with applications. If the US loses jobs to a globally competitive market that is completely different than replacing jobs locally with foreign workers. The market, however, can and will adjust if need be.

I agree that you definitely shouldn't have to memorize how to solve these, but it is extremely valuable to implement some/most at least one in your life ... otherwise it becomes a chicken an egg problem, when you dont know how to google a solution because you dont even recognize the problem. For example, you don't need to know how to implement Dijkstra's shortest path algorithm, but if you see a shortest path problem on something graph-ish, it'd be nice if you can tell that it is actually a graph search problem, since then you can google the solution real fast. Much like you dont need to remember all those AVL, RB, A-B and whatever else trees, but you kinda should know there is something like a tree, that it has some properties (search is fast), and you should kinda recognize a tree if you see it. This is not hardcore CS, it's not memoization, and it will come up almost every time you write code that does something other than build upon an existing framework

We are already feeling the shift of American coding gigs to Canada. Vancouver, for example, has developer centers for some of the big players already (Microsoft, Amazon, etc.). The fact that it's a 2hr flight from SF, 1hr from Seattle, and is on the same timezone is a big help. Also, don't forget about the 30% discount thanks to the currency difference... oh and no healthcare costs... It also helps that Vancouver has huge Indian and Chinese communities (for developers coming from there). Speaking personally, I welcome all cultures to our land. This is what has given our country its strength ever since its founding.

Here is how the discussion will go if you try to make any of these points to a border official: — Hi. I have my approval notice here, it says that I'm allowed to work for this company in the US. — I'm the border official and I make the final call. What's your job? — I'm a programmer. — A programmer? We don't let you guys in anymore. — But someone on reddit told me that a programmer was the same as a software engineer! — They don't work here. Enjoy your trip back home.

Have you looked at the proposed implementation. I feel like only cpp can manage to make such a simple feature so complicated

Yep and then all of the profit from those coders still flows back to American companies. Sounds like a win all of the way around for Americans: Higher salaries here for programmers, less immigrants, AND still reaping the profits.

It's mostly progressive and stair-stepped. Every time your tax bracket increases you pay the increased part only for the amount in the new bracket. 40% sounds bad but it's 40% only for the part that exceeds the 40% limit. You can earn 100K a year for less than 36% for only the part that exceeds 80K and so on. The exact numbers vary between countries and legislations but when you see 30%, 40%, whatever, it's not for every euro you make. It's pretty bad but not as bad as it is made to look like. In this light the 26% and 34% doesn't look so big after all: the difference only applies to the last 10-20% of total amount.

That's definitely not how oil prices are determined. They're determined by futures contracts which can be independent of supply and demand due to speculative traders. Not exactly the best analogy there.

Doesn't look too bad for C++ `template<class T> constexpr const T& clamp( const T& v, const T& lo, const T& hi ) { return clamp( v, lo, hi, std::less<>() ); }` From here: http://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/algorithm/clamp

"Except where I'm wrong, I'm right". Almost every single language has problems with syntax. It's not about making a prettier "if" statement, it's about how C++11 introduced an initialization syntax that was supposed to be *the* way to initialize, but turns out it's also broken in it's own way. It's about operators that break each other silently. It's about the syntax needing to be drawn out for a few minutes to remember if it's a pointer to a const int's pointer or a const pointer to a int's pointer or a pointer to an int's const pointer. And we look at syntax all day long, the stuff gets ingrained into our heads and I'd like for it to be clear and pretty. I love lua as a language, but the syntax drives me a bit bonkers and I don't use it. There's a good debate to be had between whitespace as indentation vs braces (though I take the side of braces). A lot of compiler errors could have been solved, and a lot of money may have been saved if the syntax for assignment was '=:' instead of '=', but that hasn't been fixed yet. A good analogy is that syntax is the user interface (controls and UI) in a game. The game could be absolutely killer, but if you load it up and, just, God damn that's an ugly UI. And whenever I strafe left, jump, and shoot simultaneously my character commits suicide. It's going to be disruptive. And if your demo is 5 minutes long and you have to work through that kind of interface, you're not going to buy the game. First impressions are the most important. I do understand where you're coming from, though. There are bigger fish to fry and a lot of questions regarding syntax have been solved (at leat I think we stopped using 'begin' and 'end' blocks). But there are tons of unsolved problems and the biggest offenders tend to be the most widely used languages. So for the vast majority of the programmers living in the real world - syntax is a very real issue.

I heard on the radio that it costs 4K USD per lottery ticket. And since its a lottery, the employer could just end up throwing away that money. A typical large employer will buy 300 tickets if they want 100 visas. A small employer can't compete with that.
