It is technically not the arch way to use aur helper, but I use paru instead of pacman which shows arch news before updating. This makes sure I get any arch news before potential b…

So why do we ask them? AFAIK, it is engineers asking these questions and also criticizing the same metric. I think it is a case of this being the least worst option.

I haven't personally used this, but does this work? GC.TryStartNoGCRegion Method Attempts to disallow garbage collection during the execution of a critical path. https://docs.micro…

If anyone is curious, it might be this talk. Moishe Lettvin - What I Learned Doing 250 Interviews at Google. It is on Etsy Eng channel Youtube url with the relevant time frame http…

Thanks! Yes it is for the same employer. It will be with extension of status, and not consular notification, AFAIK, so that clears up my situation.

Thanks. I am in US and don't have any travel plans now. Was wondering if I'll have to leave and come back to get valid I-94, which will be tricky due to the Executive Order on visa…

Does an approved H1-B extension necessarily extends the i-94 date? If not, is the only alternative to leave the country, get a new visa stamp(which is not possible till Dec 31, AFA…

H1-B has other issues but regarding H1-B working for 10+ years, it is mostly due to country caps for green cards. H1-B do get sponsored green cards, at least for the non-startup co…

and you'll have to GTFO the US within (IIRC) 2 weeks. I think there was a grace period of 60 days introduced in 2017 though I am not sure on the status of it now.

I don't think r/the_donald is quarantined. There was some issue with sticky threads not rising as much to the r/all that impacted r/the_donald, but otherwise, I can still see posts…

Does Steam take a cut for in game purchases? I think the major issue here is with companies having app stores inside app store. All the companies mentioned i.e Amazon, Steam seem t…

As an H1B, while there is employer tie in at some level, I am free to change jobs. What I am not free to do is to stop working. That fear certainly does indirectly result in lesser…

AFAIK, the number considered is salary, so the number is decently high, even for bay area. There are some exceptions like Netflix, but a lot of companies pay majority in equity, es…

It depends on the passion as well. Not all passions are equal and can be easily transferred into a successful career. Assuming you have multiple passions, my personal advice would …

Yeah, I think op was joking/trolling as well and I fell for it. Honestly I expected something like Scratch as an answer.

I can see it being 'fun' in something like Scratch. I expected op to reply with either some edutech or some domain I hadn't heard of. It does however seem that op is trolling, and …

I am quite curious of the domain where you use emojis in function name? That sounds fun, and also from what I have seen of unicode support somewhat terrifying. I work mostly in ent…

I think this is also because no one really teaches you how to interview. Giving multiple interviews doesn't, at least IMHO make you knowledgeable to be on the other side. It is kin…

Aren't a lot of so called 'algorithmic problems' similar to brain teasers? If you have seen it before, you'll know it. But otherwise, there is not much chance of you cracking it wi…

Interesting approach for optimization of an algorithm that I haven't seen in any books(as the author also mentions). Is there any comprehensive resource for these, or does everyone…

Thanks! I was getting confused between stack data structure, function stack and stack space and had gotten to a weird mix in my head. The example cleared it up.
