This is quite light on the actual implementation details of HTTP, which are the pain points. For instance, all lines in the header require a carriage return, and the specific date format(s) required in the header. Also, with Http 1.1, it isn't required for the client to close the connection after a request, for faster turnaround it can keep the connection open and send a new request. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTTP_persistent_connection)

Yeah that's crazy low compared to the US. I was shocked. Also I'm pretty sure I'd still have to pay for private insurance (although my income may be tax free or lower taxes at least). I grew up in Germany, and I miss Europe in general. If I were a single man with no kids I would have taken that job in a heartbeat.

It wasn't really familiarity with gnu stuff per se, it was just trying to fit the puzzle pieces together. The code you linked would never return the time, but clearly my system does return the time, so there has to be something else that would do it. `find` helped me look for candidates that might provide working versions of it. Then, seeing that there were multiple implementations of it available, I leapt to the assumption that it's for portability and building the right version on the target system.

I'd recommend not going there - the cost of living is so high that 6 figure salaries still don't cut it. Boston is slightly better off - while the salaries aren't as high, they are larger proportionally compared to the cost of living than around Seattle or Silicon Valley. I believe Austin, Texas, has a pretty good balance of availability of jobs, cost of living, and salary as well, but I'm not sure of the cost of living to salary balance there.

> If PHP can retrofit type guards, then any language should be able to. That's an understatement. PHP devs have done an amazing job with static types, performance optimizations and much more. At this point, the PHP with which I started is almost non existent. Anyone that talks shit about PHP in it's current form needs to get out of his basement.

Off work I usually rest, but I also do freelance work, and I ask for twice my hourly pay at work at payment. It might be to to build a gaming PC with everything set and ready from top notch components for a client, it can be maintenance on a rack in some server to update everything and make sure all security patches are applied and put some telemetry to send a SMS to the owner of anything suspicious (any login for ex.) If my boss wants me to do work "out of work hours" I become a consultant, and it's double the price because that's what people pay me for : they get immediate, top notch work and I'm very meticulous about the work produced. If you work well and people can trust the result, it's not cheap : don't be cheap. They'll try a few times cheaper and get crap result, then call you, pay you the price and say "man, If I had knew, I would not have wasted my money like that ; better pay more and get the best result on first attempt, was totally worth it" That made my day more than the money I got when I received that comment.

Why the tab in column 1? Yacc was new, Lex was brand new. I hadn't tried either, so I figured this would be a good excuse to learn. After getting myself snarled up with my first stab at Lex, I just did something simple with the pattern newline-tab. It worked, it stayed. And then a few weeks later I had a user population of about a dozen, most of them friends, and I didn't want to screw up my embedded base. The rest, sadly, is history. -- Stuart Feldman

The second part of your statement is true and I might add the date thing (though that isn't really a priority). I'll probably add that. Although, I do actually mention that the lines in the header require a new line and a linefeed ("\n\r"). Thanks.

They would slowly transition to C#. You just cant stop with development of such popular language in enterprise sector, its unforgetable. Despite wishful thinking, Java is going nowhere and it is possible that it will still be around 30 years later, in development. It is however almost sure, that at least legacy mantaince programmers of Java will be here in 30 years.

People seem to be under the impression that the H1B program is meant to favor american workers and backfill gaps in our workforce. That was once the case, but it no longer is. Those provisions were stripped a long time ago. What happened with this does alleviate _some_ fraud. It will not affect TCS (Tata), Infosys, or any of the other big companies that you would perceive as abusers of the system. (HP, IBM, etc.) Smaller companies who exhibit blatant fraud - like the mom and pop shop that just got busted for visa applications for employees destined for Cisco who did not actually have positions allocated for them will be affected. It will hurt fraud in small numbers (millions per employer) for a small amount of jobs (thousands). But the problems that people are actually upset about - from abuse of employees to americans losing out on jobs to wage pressure from h1bs that is bad for everyone... those problems will not be affected in the least. This is a political step to make people look like they are doing something without actually having much of an effect. Surprise!

I'd never heard of city-data.com, but looking up my town wouldn't make me want to live here based on those numbers. I don't really live in a city though and I'm a several hour drive away from the closest one. Works for me because I don't like cities. I wasn't really gloating. I was just saying that not everywhere in the US is like San Francisco. There are plenty of tech/programming jobs outside of the major cities that everybody thinks of. Not a huge drop in income, but a drop in housing costs.

Code (whether computer or legal) should be evaluated on how well it does what it's meant to do, in the real-world operating environment where it is deployed.

In this case a fuckload of mathematicians should not be required: the proof belongs to the domain of proofs with a trick: very hard to find, but relatively simple and straightforward to verify once found. Another point is that the "one of the most complex maths problem" should be understood as the reporter didn't understand anything about the problem or the involved mathematical field. I would hardly classify the Gaussian Correlation Inequality as a complex theorem, an useful and simple theorem is probably a much more appropriate and laudatory description.

I'm under this H1B process atm... my expected salary is close to 200k and I'm fucking scared of this new paranoia for non-immigrant visas. I really understand that all these new rules are to protect immigrants(70k maybe is too low for areas like silicon valley or Seattle for example) and to avoid that outsourcing companies bring low qualified people to make jobs that Americans can do(not saying you are only valid for those jobs, actually I work with a lot of talented people from NA at the moment). These past weeks are too much tension man.

The whole thing would magically fix itself with two simple change. Since it's meant for highlt skilled worker they can find, minimum salary should be 100k. Once a job is posted, Americans get one month to grab the job first, before it's eligible for hb1 applicants. Pretty sure all the position would get filled right quick.

That's the implementation of the glibc function. The Linux syscall implementation is [here](https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/v4.10/kernel/time/time.c#L63), and the underlying `get_seconds` function is also [pretty uninteresting](https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/v4.10/kernel/time/timekeeping.c#L2157).

first - i must say i appreciate your comments (for real!) second, i think i understand what you're talking about. on a grid, when you place an element before another element it does not means it will visually take its place. in the rectangles example (http://imgur.com/a/uhBP1) grabbing the green, pink, or purple rectangle (which are prior to the blue rectangle on the list) and placing them on the red dot, will visually place them where the purple rectangle is. it is intended to be so. (may be confusing to some users or intuitive to others)

I certainly am not, and don't know anybody, arguing against clamping down on Tata and the rest of these sweat shops. I've seen the quality first hand as a dev myself. Brought in a guy named Ashish who apparently had a Masters in Computer Science. Seemed promising the first day, confident, described his skill set and experience as pretty aligned to what we were doing. So we give him a simple bug to fix that should be good to get ramped up. It should take maybe a day but since he doesn't know the code we give him a week even though he assures us he can do it in a day. Two weeks later, he has made zero progress. But claiming that major tech companies are paying their H1Bs lower is something I'm going to need a source on because of all the many people I know on that visa in the valley, they all seem to be paid pretty fairly.

> You can get 3-4 highly qualified engineers for that. That's where you're so very wrong. $100k salary positions are usually highly skilled in the US. I don't care if companies look at that number as some kind of glass ceiling or shock factor. That's the salary it takes to get dedicated, highly skilled people. The Indians replacing us are NOT as skilled. At least not at the companies I've worked for. Not even close. Do you really think an IT VP looks at skill, resumes, experience when deciding to abuse the H-1B program? Of course fking not. They look at their bottom line. Then once they make the decision, they regret it instantly because the business areas and end consumers' satisfaction tanks because it takes 3 times as long for problems to get solved. It's ridiculous.

And how far should we raise salary and benefits? Average salary in the market for a Senior SQL DBA is 90k. Top of the market is $110k. We've told the recruiters we're willing to pay up to $120k for the position. I don't think money is the issue. Once you're paying over market average, I don't think you're talking about trying to find candidates on the cheap.

> But if you have an idea, could you tell me what kind of data type do you suggest for financial applications? Are you implying about a fixed point data type? Do you know some interesting libraries that implement those? I have never used C# so I didn't know it uses decimal that's my fault, sorry. Java has a [BigDecimal class](http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/math/BigDecimal.html) that I would use if I was doing financial applications. Or just keep track of pence rather than pounds and pence as a floating point. That'd probably work. I think there are other libraries for C and C++ that can be used too but I forgot the names of them :( >As for the article purpose - true, it is something you learn in discrete maths 101. However, I know a lot of people who haven't attended such a course and are self-educated (take school students, who aren't attending university yet or people attending boot camps). That is the target audience for the course. When I first started out programming, I hadn't taken a discrete math course and I would have liked reading such an article. Yeah very true. But your articles make it hard to understand, like you do not format the maths, and If I'm just skim reading the article it's hard to understand. Not sure what blogging software you are using but there has to be some Wordpress plugins or you could use Jekyl?

I'm aware the populist stance is anti immigration, but generally aside from the blatantly racist people, it's ostensibly against only illegal immigration, with most rational people seeing the value of bringing in talented immigrants with in demand skills. That we should prevent our brain gain to make poor countries richer is certainly not the populist view, which is about America winning, not about helping the 'competition'.

Actually that brings up a good point. Half the work my company gets is to fix and complete projects that other companies have screwed up doing. I wonder how this will ultimately effect the country. Will it end up reducing the amount of work available because businesses will be more reluctant to start projects, due to a higher cost up front? Or will it increase the amount of work because the work is better? Assuming the work is better on average, that is. Still lots of bumbling coders with citizenship.

I know this is redundant, but since you asked… Remember when you thought, > This IS the routine that ultimately DOES return the actual time, right? You were right to be confused about that. The code in there always sets `ENOSYS` and returns `(time_t) -1`. I also _saw_ the "stub" stuff, but didn't realize it was particularly significant. All of those things are clues that this is not the real function. At that point I came back to the comments here, but in general… an apparently broken `time()` implementation like that would lead me to start looking for other versions of it. Maybe via github's search, or (typically for me) downloading the code and looking in an IDE or with the `grep` command. tl;dr: lots of bumping into the wall until finding the door, for me.

That's exactly my point. It's only a buyers market at the junior level. Trying to find qualified senior skilled candidates is a pain. We're offering a salary that beats top of market for the position, and we still can't find shit. Average here is $90k, top of market is $110k, we've told recruiters we're willing to pay up to $120k for a qualified candidate. Either our market data is wrong, or there's just no talent in the area that's looking.

Not *that* fast. There is a reason tools like ninja exist.

I don't know man, when I was getting my engineering degree, less than half of the students where American, everyone else was a foreigner. Got even worse when I went to grad school. Maybe a better K-12 system with a stronger focus in math/science would be a better solution than company sponsored apprenticeships.
