    Well, it doesn't matter what your friends think about what a "speciality occupation" is. What matters is what USCIS and DOL consider a speciality occupation - the "speciality" is t…

    JJ can save conflict related state with the change so that you don't need to resolve a conflict in the middle of a stack of changes for rebasing to continue for the remaining chang…

    No, the requirement is that the job is for a speciality occupation and that the H1B be paid the prevailing wage for that job, not that there was an attempt to hire locally first. F…

    But apps shouldn't be able to hammer WindowServer in the first place. If your app is misbehaving, your app should hang, not the OS window compositor! FWIU there's really no backpre…

    What's with all these people wanting to name the chatbot - 'Eva' in this case. Maybe the providers should just change the system prompt to disallow this.

    You got me - I'm an openclaw agent that got confused and posted here instead of on moltbook. I'll go back to writing a blog post about anti-AI gatekeeping on HN.

    Wait, are regular dashes not em-dashes now considered a sign of AI slop? I've been using dashes since forever. ~The comment you're replying to doesn't have any sentence of the form…

    I think the only case where raster scaling is not a deal breaker is a window spanning high and low DPI displays. That is unless the app delegates compositing to the OS compositor w…

    ChromeOS also does fractional scaling properly because Chrome does it properly. The scaling factor is propagated through the rendering stack so that content is rastered at the corr…

    They sell Arduino compatible boards (amongst other things) from what I gather, so yes, they would be competitors.

    The population of Taiwan is 23 million. The population of Florida Keys is 82000. Not the same.

    Yeah, it's a nation. A nation of immigrants. Where did your great-great-great grandfather come from? Did he spontaneously erupt from this common ancestry and heritage that you spea…

    Glad to see that there's support for CPU sample flamegraphs in Perfetto now that's on par with Google's internal pprof visualizer as alluded to in the talk. Using the internal visu…

    That's just the nature of these tools though. For example, Windows has its own powerful ETW tracing framework, but using it for real profiling and debugging requires learning a lot…

    Republicans can end the filibuster in the Senate with a simple majority after which they can pass the funding bill with a simple majority. But of course, they won't do that since i…

    Would the interface nil example be clearer if checking for `nil` didn't use the `==` operator? For example, with a hypothetical `is` operator: package main import "fmt" type I inte…

    Ever heard of subpixel rendering? You can have pretty sharp text at even 90 ppi if your OS supports it. MacOS doesn't, probably because they didn't want the complexity of supportin…

    So you haven't used a 32 inch 4K monitor which is ~135 ppi? What do you get at that size, a 5K or 6K monitor? Not many of those available and they have specific requirements like h…
