  • I work with h1b my entire life in tech. I dropped out of university at age 20 and I’m 31 now. I am a staff engineer.

    There are small places that utilize the program correctly. One amazing friend I have is a man named Ravi. Beautiful human being and he lives in Texas now with a beautiful boy.

    I now contract with a major corporation now who dropped an H1B woman named Chaitanya who loved her daughter with a 2 day notice. She has to since scrambled to find a new job or risk deportation. Not indentured servitude, though.



  • I love the arrow in functional programming. Some functional languages (like reasonml) has multiple arrow operators that did different things like this one -> would put the argument in the first position (a popular JS pattern) and the big arrow |> would put it last like most functional languages.

    I know this is about CPP but honestly I love the way it looks, but I’m a weirdo lol


  • I hear ya. My theory is the Linux community is a world filled with autism. I am autistic (late diagnosed at 30, using Linux since 10yo). I think many of us are undiagnosed. I legit think if people just assumed a bit of neurodivergence in us you’ll see we aren’t hostile. We also need better manuals, such as video series’, interactive tutorials and such. RTFM I agree is not welcome, but we do need these introductory materials (better than the arch wiki you autists) and we need high quality ones. I think that’s a worthwhile investment, no?



  • No, I am sure in a case by case basis you are right and that seems like an exception to the rule though. I think the spirit of the topic is that we should just use pronouns on this instance even more common neopronouns like xir. My personal opinion is I think “they” is probably a fine blanket term for all gender neutrality, but that will likely “other” them into the bucket of “they”… so I can see how this is a tricky situation.

    To call this a leftist thing is interesting though. We are discussing humans, not politics. I didn’t bring it up. My acceptance of all people other than me drives me to leftism, not the other way around.

    Honestly, a general rule of thumb"act in good faith" is probably enough. Not hard to enforce and usually a small enough offense is enough to deter most.
