Every time you want to increment a boolean remember about Therac-25. There was byte there that has been used as a boolean value. The flag were set by incrementing the byte (presumably, because it was a shorter machine code). Obviously, one out of 255 runs overflowed the flag. The flag controlled a software-only safety mechanism which prevented the machine from issuing a lethal radiation dose to patients. While the overflow was not the one to really blame, the issue would not end up fatal had the programmers treated data types correctly.

Indeed, as an American working within a group of H1Bs, you are often an unwelcome outsider. This has been my experience, almost without exception, as much as I hate to admit it and as much as I've enjoyed working in a multinational environment. In my profession, anything that interferes with the product (software) is an element of risk. H1Bs who are scared for their jobs, or jealous of yours, can react in horrible, spiteful ways.

> Tata's My company just had a huge layoff because of economic downturn. ~6 months later they're trying to back fill a lot of those positions. Tata is one of the contractors. I laughed when I saw the salary rate. Edit: Funny thing is everyone worth it found new jobs rather fast. I got myself a 30% raise and that's near double what they're offering for a similar/same position through Tata. "pay peanuts get monkeys".

I moved over here to marry - the salary buff was one of the factors that went into the decision of who was making the move. So no, I'm not planning on moving back. I'll be honest, the grass is almost always greener on the other side. I can't comment on Norway's current situation, though, as it's completely under my radar.

>These things have a cost. At what price? How much should the Government be allowed to siphon from your labor before it is too much? Right now we are talking about compensating the Government 3x what you get out of your work. That is 9 months of the year where all of your sweat and early mornings are just to pay off the State. Is that reasonable to you? Just so daddy government can make your decisions for you instead of using private services?

You cant tell, let say microsoft, that youre going to take their application down mid day on a tuesday for a deployment. They just wont buy from you. We used to do tuesday deployments until a 100mm dollar deal came through with the stipulation that we have to change to sundays. So we changed to sunday. Even though everyone hates it. 100mm dollars can buy a lot more people who are more than willing to work on the weekend. Your customers could not give a single fuck if you have to work 16 hours on a weekend, they are paying you assloads of money and they want 100% uptime during their working hours, and yeah, sales and the execs are not going to tank a multimillion dollar deal just because the tech side doesnt want to work weekends. It sucks but thats the reality of enterprise versus SMB or consumer applications.

Yeah I think I had better life back home at $25k than friends in silicon valley at $120k. But that is not too surprising if you want to cramp most of the world's tech money into a few villages, prices will skyrocket. So local prices and purchasing power does matter - and this effect doubles and triples as you get older and you have to support kids and start to have medical expenses.

Consumer apps where the majority of your users are at work or simple apps where a deployment takes 10 minutes max. Tuesday is great if you can get away with it or if youre running an app where you can seamlessly deploy, or rolling deploy to production. Tuesday is a terrible idea if it means real downtime and preventing your customers from doing their jobs for an entire day.

Many people are handcuffed to their jobs in some way or another. If you're living paycheck to paycheck, it's very difficult to start doing some other training, etc. The cost of education here is also prohibitive versus the depressed wages. You should try getting to know some regular people instead of jumping to ridiculous negative conclusions about millions of people.

Yes, C++11 support is requested to build the project, and the use of modern constructs is encouraged where they make sense. Some work as been done to replace some Qt functionnalities by their C++11 counterparts (for example Qt's foreach are progressively replaced by C++11's range based loops). But this as not been done systematically, and old constructs may remain here and there.

Oh come on, reddit, you got on this fuckery again? Some wrong but enraging title, and no one even care to read the freaking source? This is a four-page document with very simple message - Nebrasca Service Center begun to process H1Bs again last year, and they found that some employees used guidelines dated back to 2000. TLDR - Please don't do it again. But that's so boring, banning all programmers is much more enraging and interesting, right, reddit?

The client is obfuscated and connections are encrypted. They also have their own hack detection. They do ram scans etc. and send them to a Blizzard server. Modifying contents of ram it therefore quite hard. Since the replays are saved, it is possible to check if a given action could actually happen. Sometimes there are maphacks that can read game memory, but usually they are detected and users banned quite quickly.

It really depends on your fiscal situation, of course, I can't make recommendations for you; that's your advisor's job. If you're smart and young, it works like this: •Graduate and get a job earning 80k/year at a good company. •Add in a performance and Christmas bonus. 10k/year •Add in personal development funding. 10k/year Take the performance and Christmas bonus, dump half into IRA and half into a good mutual fund. Live below your means and get a mortgage on a shitty condo north of downtown; rent it out when it's paid off. Work for 10 years and get work from home privileges. Buy cheap land up north and then slowly lower your hours until you find the equilibrium.

What is your source for 3.6%? And, I hate unemployment rates to show how much is employable, but not employed. I know of many software engineers replaced by H1B VISA workers who are qualified, but not as good. But their hourly rates are much lower. So, you replace 1 better qualified engineer with 2 less qualified engineers. I see many American jobs get outsourced because of H1B VISA workers. I am not saying those H1B VISA workers are not qualified; I am saying more qualified American workers are loosing jobs. So, if you look for employable software engineers; I suspect the numbers would be much much higher.

Or the taxi driver could make more money by working for Uber/Lyft. Yes, really. There's a reason why you often see Americans driving for ride shares but never an actual taxi. Because taxi driving is a slave-wage sweatshop. The only people really opposing ride sharing are the cab medallion owners who's once lucrative little Mafia is now nearly worthless.

They really should replace all those requirements with only one: extremely high minimum wage for the applicants. If US companies have to pay at least twice more to hire an immigrant, they would make sure to only use it on the real stars and talents that can't be easily found among the US workers, and that would stop them from using H-1B to put a pressure on wages of American workers.

Well, SJ is very much part of Silicon Valley. But anyway, yes, SJ schools were terrible. Campbell (where I lived) were better but rather one-size-fits-all; very little by way of differentiated services for high achievers. Richer areas like Cupertino, Los Altos, Palo Alto had better schools but correspondingly higher prices, such that we couldn't live there. Virtually all of my coworkers' kids were in private schools. We left when our first kid was weeks old. Caveat: This was 20 years ago. Things have surely changed since then.

[Regulation and Licensure in Engineering](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regulation_and_licensure_in_engineering). In the US this means going to an [ABET](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ABET) accredited program and then passing the Professional Engineering examination by the [NCEES](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Council_of_Examiners_for_Engineering_and_Surveying). This is for becoming a certified engineer and being able to use the title. Enforcement is state by state in the US, but countries like Canada are total enforcement.

Proper engineering is a soft skill. If you want strictly hard skills, look to the technicians. Engineers perform design and analysis, but ultimately have to convey this in a form that can be actionable by others. That means effective, clear communication; a soft skill.
