null | shameless_hobo | null | Imagine you're running a mid-small IT company (~10 developers). You have some product, you have deadlines, you have customers. Developers' time is one of the most important resource for you. You need everything done fast and dandy (and the dandy-ness often times is less important). You don't really need to hire new architects or really "deep" guys - there's no application for them. Nor you need freshmen - they mess up alot, they are slow and consuming. It's better to have 1 good middle se/programmer than 3 juniors, and he'll cost you as 2 junior. Profit!
Now you're ruling a big company. You have various projects, from short-termed to really long-termed or even researches. You need super experienced guys to get complex things work. You need middle developers to get the job done. And you need juniors to [do some necessary low-responsibility stuff that noone wants to do because it's boring and meh] evolve into middle developers following your rules, your directions and loyal to you. Also becoming a middle from a junior in any big company (like google, ms, intel, etc) means less money than for the same guys who've been aready hired with the same grade (rank/skills).
So, being loyal, being quite cheap.
After such a long introduction, let me get to the point.
Having juniors via h1b:
1. Not really loyal to a company, since they don't really have a choice applying. They are already "traitors" since they quit their first native job, a country. They try the most reliable option and then they look around for another opportunities. What is it for an employer? This is bad. For a government? This is fine until the taxes are paid.
2. Being cheap. As true as it is. h1b guys get much less than citizens/residents (i.e. green card owners). It's cool for a company. it's not cool for a government. Having 30% from $150k SV java developer or 30% from $50k MS junior? Not saying about the commitment, feedback into Gross Domestic Product value. The former is much better for the country and the government.
3. Expenses to grow a good professional. Government understands juniors are cool. But it also costs money, time and h1b spots to make them costworthy. If there's no lack of experienced people in the world, why not let freshmen evolve and learn as an expense for *another* country, and since US is still a dream for basically any developer, they (= talented guys) will come here anyways! Less talented will seed away if not being competitive.

null | ArkyBeagle | null | The first fallacy is that higher level abstractions help that much. Whether they do or not depends completely on the problem domain.
The second is that these abstractions are newer than 45 years old. In general, they are not. And there's nothing in any language to keep you from using them. I use closures and monads in C *all the time*. But I know how string handling works in the language.
I also know how finite state machines work in C, and anything above a certain rudimentary level of complexity gets that treatment.

I write the documentation for my code. When I write libraries for others to consume, I tend to document them decently well.
I depend on code that other people wrote, and they are responsible for documenting it. When it's for internal consumption only, a one-line doc comment is unusual, and explicitly documenting return types is rare.
I could have created issues against everyone else's Python code asking them to explicitly document return types. They'd probably be resolved as wontfix pretty much immediately.

null | Zarutian | null | Depends. For OpenCroquet esque model I have been musing about (which is similiar to RTS deterministic lockstep, only code can change too), you have the server (or router/broadcaster) send a message to all players clients 'oy! take a state-snapshot!.". They do, spliting the state-snapshot into standard sized parts, say 1024 bytes* each. Hash each part with say sha256 and then sha256 hashes those. (basically an Merkel tree). That hash is sent to the router/broadcaster and gets broadcasted to all player clients. ("My state-snapshot hash is <hash>"). The clients have saved those parts to disk (The state-snapshot plus the merkel tree).
The clients serve up an part when an request with the hash of the part comes in.
A newly joined client waits until it has seen x many "My state-snapshot hash is <hash>" that have the same <hash>. It picks another client at random and requests a part with that hash from it. The rest is pretty much like the bittorrent protocol. Pretty neat, eh?

> NIST is foolishly continuing to recommend AES-128 keys, even though a 2^80 attack will break somebody's AES-128 key out of a batch of 2^48 keys.
Are there even 2^48 (or anything near that) AES-128 keys in existence? There are fewer than 2^33 humans on earth, so it seems a little unlikely to me. I'm not sure how many computers there are, but I would guess it's roughly on the same order of magnitude as the number of humans, and most of them probably don't have an AES-128 key they're using for anything important.
Don't get me wrong, this is close enough to being a problem that I'd personally choose a stronger cipher out of crazy paranoia, and concerns about the future.

Debugging. If you can debug your application with "--nogc" you can rule out several reasons why you might have a problem.

You have to edit your code to use that. If it were a switch to the runtime the code could be identical. These are serious apples-and-oranges.

Sometimes, yes. Some jobs are so short that spinning up a nogc process is a reasonable option.

Raw, incomplete, buggy software on the level of difficulty of bachelor project? Also, basically working on it fulltime with passion. Such startups are 45% luck, 45% marketing and 10% implementation.
>And I have an experience of hiring a recent graduate who was in fact tremendously useful to the company.
How many recent graduates you've interviewed and worked with before getting a descent one?
Ofc I know graduates are not *that* bad. But they are cost inefficient in 99% of cases. The mean value (not sure if I use this statistical term in english properly) of a random variable {$profit_assured_by_employees_work - $his_salary} is hugely negative for freshmen, properly positive for an average middle SE and hugely positive for a talented middle SE (say, that one from MIT).

null | thr731 | null | Don't be tricked, the latin vocabulary is much richer than the current roman languages, and the grammar is complexer by far.
I speak German natively and Italian fluently, and I think Latin was a different beast than Italian, French (which I understand on a basic level), Spanisch (which I can understand on conversational level and speak on a low level). Honestly, I found Korean easier to learn than Latin. It has some very foreign constructs, but it lacks the sheer amount of declinations and conjugations that Latin has to offer (and of which the roman languages only preserved a small subset of.)
tl;dr: Being able to speak Portugese/Spanish/French/Italian certainly gives an advantage, but Latin is much complexer than all of these languages.
Edit: [Wiki](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Latin) puts it nicely: "Latin is a highly inflected language, with three distinct genders, seven noun cases, four verb conjugations, four verb principal parts, six tenses, three persons, three moods, two voices, two aspects and two numbers." | null | 0 | 1491350404 | 1491350814 | 0 | dfu97g9 | t3_63e2b5 | null | null | t1_dfu87bk | null | 1493802193 | 4 | t5_2fwo | null | null | null |
