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 am a staff engineer (contractor), most of us are not adverse to unionization. But we need a massive labor movement to cling onto it seems. The spark doesn't appear like it will happen within us, gotta be external by my view of it. The engineer today is just not often politically aware or active because of the stress of the workplace environment

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?

Looks like we can see an exposed source of unpaid labor for MS. Never provide free labor for corps.

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.

What's the worst thing that will happen if an obviously moronic masculine-presenting person says "hurr durr my pronouns are balls/sack" and you do what they ask and use those pronouns? Will they play along? Will they be offended? What's a desirable outcome? What's an undesirable outcome?

Years, not days yeah?

A fascist has a gun and your minority neighbor doesn't. The fascist will get their gun illegally if necessary to spread fascism. Do you trust law enforcement to be the shield for minorities against gun-wielding fascists?

I didn't know it was a luxury item lol, my cousins would always go pheasant hunting and they're fucking delicious

It really is. I always make a note to point out how much code is removed in PRs I review

lol it's a picture of three dogs and four sheep
