1. Ghostbound is a liar about the temps. I lived inMN for 35 years. It's rather common to have a high of -10 or -20 with a wind chill of -30. 2. You absolutely can swim in the lakes in the summer, it's a ton of fun to go out with some friends or family and do stuff on the lake,

Mind you, if banks had been smart enough to have included a check digit in bank account numbers, a transfer to a typo'd number would fail more often than send money to the wrong place. They fixed the problem by including wording in T&C such that it's always your fault, though, so they're fine.

A lot of this depends on where the company is based, 60k goes a lot further in Indiana where you can get a decent 3 bedroom apartment 20 minutes away from work for 600 per month. Meanwhile a 1 bedroom studio in the Bay Area can easily fetch 5k a month... If you don't mind living in Indiana then you can litrally end up with a significantly better lifestyle on 1/3rd of the pay.

I think a lot of people have that plan initially, and then get used to living in the West and never look back. Source: First generation immigrant, really wanted to go back 'home' initially, now I definitely wouldn't. See the same in most of the other immigrants I know once they've been here 5+ years. Sure a lot of the older people will grumble about how much better the mother country was, but if you look at the number that actually move back, it's very low.

Most old operating systems worked like this. IBM had VSAM. DEC had RMS. Both were indexed record based storage systems integrated into the OS that had a standard, inspectable format. You could store your data a small embedded database back in 1964. Then UNIX came and popularized simple file abstractions, making them just a stream of bytes. Now we're back to discovering the value in storing structured data. I find it so interesting how cyclical this field is.

So, I do like SQLite as an application file format in general. It might be not too bad for git. The rest of the examples, though? Let's take a look. MSOffice and OpenDocument documents tend to feature a lot of stuff that needs to be blobs (recursive nested structures in a SQL database are nasty). Epub likewise. I'm the most familiar with epub, so let's take a look at how that would be implemented. It should be reasonably representative. The first advantage we have: the content type file. Epubs are required to contain, as the first member in the zip archive, a file named `mimetype`, with uncompressed content `application/epub+zip`, with no extra fields. I've found zip libraries that don't let you order archive members, libraries that don't let you store data uncompressed, and libraries that automatically insert extra fields. I didn't succeed at finding a zip library that would let me create the member as the epub standard requires and ended up using one that inserts extra fields. (Granted, I only tried five.) So this is arguably an advantage. If it's a sqlite file and has `.epub` as an extension, we'll consider it an epub file. If we want to check more thoroughly, we can look inside for a table named `mimetype` containing the appropriate value. Which is probably more work than the `file(1)` command will do. The main content of an epub is a series of xhtml documents. These might reference other files -- primarily images and stylesheets. So we'll start off with the pile-of-files recommendation. ID, path, blob of data. Next we have content.opf and toc.ncx. There's some overlap. They tell us what to put in the table of contents, some book metadata, and an ID and path for each file in the archive. The order for items in the main content. We can add most of that to the `files` table, the rest to a book metadata table. There's also a `type` field that's used for the cover, maybe some other stuff. The ID of the cover is probably better on the book metadata table. So we've got about three tables. A good chunk of the improvement was just not sprinkling data around in more places than necessary. Some more gains were from the fact that we can directly associate metadata with the relevant file. Then the single-value tables caused a bit of awkwardness. Not bad.

What I've described *is* the populist stance: less immigration. So if Americans want less immigration and less immigration would help the world prosper, why is this common-sense position lambasted by the media? It doesn't make the 0.1% more money.

If we want to check more thoroughly, we can look inside for a table named mimetype containing the appropriate value. Which is probably more work than the file(1) command will do. or you could use "pragma application id" to differentiate a SQLite database that is an "epub" document from other SQLite databases. The file(1) utility could be updated too recognize them even without the extension. See http://sqlite.org/pragma.html#pragma_application_id

I guess an unintended consequence is that it just makes off-shoring even more attractive. We use a blend of badged employees on shore and off shore and vendor resources on shore (H1-B) and off shore. Even with the best intentions, if you start saying H1-B's need to earn, say, $130k minimum, it just makes turning the dial up on your off shore resources more tempting. The reason H1-B resources are used so much is the shortage of skilled IT US citizens in the Bay Area.

It's a good question to ask even if you know nothing about the person's field. You can study the body language of the person as they answer, and how confident they are in their answer. When I was asked to describe what I do, I was trying to gauge the TSA agent's tech knowledge so I could adjust my answer to his level of undertanding, but he told me "don't worry, be technical, go into details". I went "well, I develop embedded C++ control systems, that run on embedded Linux systems, oh btw, that's tiny computers that are low-power and compact" and he just stopped me and waved me through.

The programmers I've met here, seem to be treated poorly, basically like interns ? I love programming but it always seems like a pretty crappy job but at the same time they'll just take any foreigner to do this job ? How can that job have such crappy condition and salary and yet be in such high demand. How come programmers aren't treated better as a whole ?

If it were stuff they could outsource, they would have already. This is about removing a category of workers companies have *massive* amounts of leverage over. I'd be perfectly happy if all these workers were given green cards, it's the exploitability that fucks up the economics of the situation.

As a German who's been to San Francisco last year, I'm glad I live in Germany. 60k euros here are probably worth more than 120k dollars there. Not to mention the quality of the food, the layout of the cities, the poverty discrepancy and so on.

If I may give you advice, don't just keep waiting for that first job. Companies don't want to train young people like before, they want hires that can do everything for as small a salary as possible. The odds are stacked against you, and after enough time has passed, you will be unemployable ("huh, graduated 18 months ago, still no job. What's wrong with him/her? Next resume!"). Your best chance is to learn real industry shit on your own, create something real, and put it online. On your resume, link to your project (the actual app or website), along with the source code on github. You can ask what to learn in /r/cscareerquestions. But in terms of job prospects it's gonna be webdev or mobile dev. For webdev [here's](https://github.com/kamranahmedse/developer-roadmap) a roadmap. (ignore devops, front-end is best, then back-end)

> The actual problem is not null, it's inconsistent semantics, because those make the subset of the real language you can use smaller and smaller. Or missing semantics, which often means "whatever the compiler decides is cool." This is part of the problem, but another aspect of the problem is cultural. Software engineers tend to make up their own ad-hoc abstractions for things rather than relying on decades of mathematical research into creating reusable abstractions (group theory, order theory, ring theory, set theory, category theory). These abstractions enable us to equationally reason about our code's correctness and have a better methodology for proving it correct. Also, these abstractions allows the construction of more principled specifications, which is where human error would come into play once it is eliminated from programs.

I doubt it's what he meant, but real salaries haven't effectively increased in the tech hubs for engineering talent. People always tote their $160k jobs in the Bay Area, but only to realize their $8k/mo net pay is decimated by high sales and income taxes, high rent, higher food and transportation costs, etc. Every dollar this baseline pay goes up, the tolerances for increases in base CoL proportionally increase. In real economic terms in the big tech hubs, salaries haven't increased by much. You are better off making $80k in a midwest city because your comparative real wages put you in a higher effective income bracket (likely the 80th percentile). I'm probably preaching to the choir.

What's to elaborate on? In the first post you explained how abuse happens but there are legitimate uses for the visa, but it turns out that you were involved in abusing it. The visa is meant for situations were local employees aren't available, which doesn't apply to run of the mill entry level developers. You're defence of the current system was actually an indictment of it.

That's incorrect. It depends entirely on your location. Metro areas in the Midwest avg about 50K for entry level. This still equates to a ~100K salary in the SV bc the cost of living is much lower in the Midwest. That's how we reach the avg salary of ~70K for software engineers. (50K for lowest areas, 100K for SV averages to ~70K) All software engineer salaries don't equate to only Silicon Valley.

I fail to see how your point applies to the article. Not everything needs to calculate with lightning speed down to the nanosecond level. Things may only have to be "sufficiently fast". And if you reach +twitter size and beyond, I am sure you can easily afford to transition into languages where speed is a primary objective, at the cost of fun and productivity. > But it does mean that any potential customers will stop using whatever service or site, if it's too slow.

>Another problem is that the visas are distributed by lottery. They're not supposed to be. The law on H1Bs have always intended for the visa to be given to prospective foreign national employees who can demonstrate some special skill that the employer cannot easily procure locally. It's explicitly written into the governing legislation. In fact the law doesn't just stop at the qualifications. It also requires H1B recipients to be paid the prevailing market wage. The problem with H1Bs is not the way the law is written. It's actually a pretty well designed piece of legislation that addresses all of the concerns we have with it today. The problem with H1Bs is purely enforcement. The State Department does not have the manpower to monitor wages effectively, or to individually vet the qualifications of each applicant. That's why they hand out the H1B visas through a lottery, which is brutally gamed by a handful of IT outsourcing companies who flood the system with applications at every annual deadline. Frankly it's almost like a DDoS attack. Ironically, the current administration that endlessly complains about H1Bs is also the same administration who has instituted a federal hiring freeze *and* is gutting the State Department budget. So the department that was already overwhelmed by the applications and couldn't evaluate them as the law intended is now being put in an even worse position. Consequently the H1B situation is not going to improve regardless of this new added requirements for "computer programmers". In fact I'd expect it to get worse.

It both makes sense and I've also seen this in boolean algebra unrelated to any eletrical topics. The plus and multiplication dot have the same precedence as the the AND / OR operations meaning that you can perfectly evaluate an expression by just doing basic math. Any non-zero value indicates true while a zero value means false. ~~You can also calculate "mod 2" after each step if that helps you making it more obvious but the idea behind it is actually really smart.~~ It does of course come with problems in programming because you have different types there and you don't want to accidentally use your boolean as an integer but if you are only doing boolean algebra I don't see anything wrong with it. The "&&" and "||" constructs are (like many things) just replacements for mathematic operations that do have their own sign which isn't present on any regular keyboard. So instead other expressions were used.

Those things have gone up precisely because of the higher wages though. Over the past years taxes have stayed more or less the same, as well as transportation (if anything gas is cheaper now than it has been in recent history). The only thing that has really gone up is rent, and that's precisely because engineers are being paid so much. It's not that wages aren't keeping up with cost of living, it's that wages are pushing up the cost of living. Bay Area engineers actually have a higher real wage than most other places in the US, even if they pay lots more in rent.
