> There is no H-1B track applicant receiving a green card right now that waited 7-8 years
EB-3 priority for India is currently July 2002. For China it is Aug 2004. So Indians that are currently receiving EB-3 green cards have been waiting 9 years, while Chinese have been waiting 7 years. Source: [U.S. Dept of State](http://www.travel.state.gov/visa/bulletin/bulletin_5560.html).

>Waterfall is just as correct if everybody does exactly what they are supposed to do.
I disagree - the waterfall methodology is fundamentally flawed in that it artificially imposes inappropriate constraints on development. It is the wrong metaphor. It fails to take into account requirement changes, discovery during coding, etc, etc

> Agile has some pretty clear concepts
Scrum might. Agile itself is about adaptability and the Manifesto itself is vague enough that you'd have to go really out on a limb to be disqualified (one reason why I never liked the word that much. Too much idealistic place-holdery wibbly-wobbly talk.)
Heck, aren't there some Unified Process variants that call themselves "Agile"? (Great, now I have to wash my mouth with soap)

Judging from the screenshot, I assume you want to run this on a screen lying on its back, right? one player will sit at one side and the other player on the other side.
Perhaps [this](http://books.google.com/books/about/OpenGL_programming_for_the_X_Window_Syst.html?id=pWc-AQAAIAAJ) book may help.

I loosely read this sub-thread, and just in case you're not trolling (which I find possible but unlikely when looking at your comment page):
I am convinced that you do not understand evolution. And whatever truth might lie beyond the root of the cosmos (the first moment): Maybe it created the world with the forces etc., maybe it didn't. Fact is that the forces is what we need to know to understand *how beings can come into existence without manual intervention by a sentient being / creator*. Whether or not there's a creator behind the universe is 99.99999999999999% irrelevant to the concept of evolution. (What's weird is that I am the Creator. :P But before I can officially arrive, I have to beat to death unreason with a mighty stick.)

It's not just cheep labor either. Visas have to be sponsored by the hiring company. A friend of mine just got a job as a network engineer and part of his employment terms was that the cost of maintaining the visa was taken out of his salary. I forget how much it was, but it was enough to make you a little annoyed at loosing it.

There's nothing hipper and more fashionable than a language invented in 1958 by [this guy](http://www.catonmat.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/john-mccarthy-programming-completely-wrong.jpg). My wife is not a programmer (not even close) and *she* understands what Lisp is.

one thing I hate about ocaml from a purely aesthetic standpoint is how you have to add a dot behind arithmetic operators to do floating point operations, like:
2.0 +. 3.0
For a beginner I dont think that ocaml adds anything substantial to ML unless you plan to do object oriented or logic programming in a functional language

These benchmarks aren't exactly contrived, since they are designed to show performance across a wide variety of algorithms:
http://shootout.alioth.debian.org/u32/benchmark.php?test=all&lang=gpp&lang2=java
So Java is basically the fastest language next to C++, thanks to its excellent JIT. Once the JVM gets warmed up, it's *more than fast enough* for 99% of problems. But sure, I'll fire up C for that last 1%.

Adding and/or Removing functionality should never be up to a single person. It doesn't matter if that person is a junior or senior developer, no 1 person should say, "That feature is underutilized, I'm removing it."
As such, they don't -need- the power to determine that. They only need the power to suggest it to the team.
And guess which is harder, new development or maintenance? Yeah, new dev is harder. That's one of the reasons the senior developers get it.
As for junior devs making a mess of the code... Why aren't they being watched? Code reviews are made especially for this purpose. They help guarantee that quality code is checked in, and not just random garbage.
Having said all that, I was the senior programmer at my last job and voluntarily took the bugfix position. When there were no outstanding bugs (which was fairly often) I worked on new dev. With the right mindset, it's a great position and not the onerous task that many make it out to be.

I actually used to live around Edison. Most of those companies are probably contractors that hire their people in New York or the surrounding areas. Salaries may be skewed by the fact that if a contracted employee doesn't have an assignment, they will often times pay their own salary so that they don't have to leave the US.... basically they pay their boss who writes their ordinary check.
It's sort of a scam, but it's becoming pretty routine.
In New Jersey, the H1Bs certainly aren't the best for the job or the cheapest. They are, however, generally Indian and when most of the hiring managers are Indian that's significant.

When I see lines like `contains im (Rect x y w h) = all and . map cols . rows $ im`, I wish lisp gave some of the parenthesis back.
In fact, looking at some of the later code snippets, I'm not sure if I like how concise they are. There is just so much stuff in 8 lines, its near impossible to get into my head.

Incorrect. I'm in the US with an H1B as a software engineer. My employer is desperate for another talented developer and can't find one anywhere, so there will likely be another H1Ber in the company.
I'm also not underpaid.

No, there is exactly shared-state concurrency. That's what's happening in the code I show in the post. Concurrency, parallelism, and multiple OS threads are all different things, and it's best not to confuse them.

REST is putting a name on something people have been doing for years.
web APIs have the same problem they've always had. web startups come and go. making any of your products or servers depend on someone else's API (especially a free one) is just bad business.

Yup. These companies aren't looking for *qualified* candidates (as nicasucio put it) - they are trying to dominate the fucking world after all (Facebook, Google, Microsoft, Amazon etc). Qualified is not good enough. If you get the best from 5% of the world population, you WILL be in trouble sooner or later when your competitors are pulling the best from 95% (or to ignore the countries with terrible education systems, 30%... only 6x the pool of the US companies).

Most H1B are actually paid higher than american workers on the same position. Why? Because the salary of each individual H1B is determined by the Department of Labor. DoL takes months to come up with the wage determination and in each case that I know of the wage is substantially (often prohibitively) higher than the employer is/was willing to pay.
Also, the employer has to show that there is no american worker in the area that is willing to work for the wage that DoL determined. The position has to be advertised in a set number of papers and website for a set number of time. Only if no qualified American applies, the H1B case can move forward.

Maybe 5% of the time. The rest of the time....
1. Foreign people lie about their qualifications in my experience. I've had to filter resumes and phone screen a lot, and there is a definite pattern, probably because they know it's harder to background check them.
2. If companies don't hire and *train* Americans, then there is going to be a shortage of people that can do that particular job already because you don't learn about workforce stuff in school, you learn theory that allows you to then be trained on the specifics for that company.
3. It's easy to take advantage of visa employees because if you fire them, they can't stay, they have to *immediately* leave the country. Both sides know this.

Very interesting data indeed. And as you've found out a lot of those unknown companies are actually of Indian origin. If anyone wants to read up more on this subject here is a nice Wikipedia article:

> Wouldn't I want to make the flags -r and -m though? That way it would be less confusing, since in other utilities (tar for example), having a single dash and multiple characters means the same as -r -m.
It's the most common convention, but it's not the only one, e.g. most X utilities (like xterm) and find use '-option', so choose one you like better for given purpose.

I wish I could experiment with ocaml at work. It seems like a good language, but I've only toyed with it. Last employer, there was some talk of going to F#, but that fizzled out. Now, we're just using C++/python/R in production, which is not bad, but the C++ layer still seems like more trouble than it's worth. (I mostly live in R, though, only descending into C++ when it's time to implement models, so it's not so bad.)

I am not sure if that was actually legal. He should definitely check that. Also, there is no cost of "maintaining" the visa. There is a cost to get the visa (usually $4K-$10K) but the company is responsible to cover that in most cases. He should check it to be sure.

[Breuel 2006](http://citeseer.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/summary?doi=10.1.1.17.5758) has a pretty neat algorithm that can be used for this problem as well. If someone has need for it I can decouple a [Haskell implementation I've written](https://github.com/arirahikkala/straylight-divergence/blob/master/src/Mapgen/FindRectangles.hs) into a reusable library, maybe even see if I can make it go fast with spatial partitioning of some kind.

synaptic and other graphical package managers are more about listing packages and their information. An appstore also promotes certain software to make it easier for user who might not know that Gimp is the equivalent of photoshop in Linux

Not clear overall. However, we do still have a shortage of skilled software engineers specifically.

It's lovely, but there really ought to be some "energy cost" for moving joints in such a way as to carry the whole creature. It's very hard to evolve something that isn't absolutely spastic on the off chance that some of its flailing will propel it forward; this does not make for very natural-seeming organisms.

Actually Deja Vu Mono is derived from Bitstream Vera Sans Mono as well. Deja Vu just has wide character support, but looks exactly the same. Anyone still using Bitstream should switch to Deja Vu.

A large number of people work in fields where experts don't really emerge. I claim this is the case for most positions that require (or should require) a high school education only for an entry level job.
But, like you correctly say, there is going on seven billion people in the world. There's thousands and thousands of field/subfields in which there can be dozens or hundreds of top experts.

I just want say that I'm new to proggit, and I'm really impressed with the level of discussion here. Years on slashdot made me expect the "dey took er jerbs!" brigade, but instead there's an actual discussion going on.
Is that this community, or is it just that developers all have jerbs in this overheated market for talent?
