ibero··on H-1B fraud consultancies grow, with application abuse openly discussed online
I’m not sure. I would imagine there is as much variety and diversity in those fields as there is in computer science.

If that is the case, I can see why immigration might be necessary to make up for a domestic deficit.

ibero··on H-1B fraud consultancies grow, with application abuse openly discussed online
Yes, I agree that compensation alone is not enough.
ibero··on H-1B fraud consultancies grow, with application abuse openly discussed online
H1B is not exclusive for software engineering and encompasses many other professions (architects, civil engineers, etc).

Immigration policy is not aimed to serve the highly compensated field of the day, but to serve society at large.

Society needs civil engineers or child psychologists just as much as a fintech developer.

ibero··on Reddit Doubles Down
you or any other user could create your own subreddit. it’s not like reddit can’t discuss nba games.

there clearly is a gulf between people who actively wish to make it so and those who consume the byproduct of their effort.

ibero··on Apollo’s Christian Selig explains his fight with Reddit – and why users revolted
they could but not in under 30 days.
ibero··on Twitter in chaos as employees accept Musk’s invitation to quit their jobs
i won't link to them, but this is public information, at least for the H1-B. you can find the number for a given company and their respective positions.
ibero··on HBO Max pulls nearly 200 ‘Sesame Street’ episodes
a temporary outage for thousands, out of millions, is a success. not sure what kind of scale you are used to.
ibero··on HBO Max pulls nearly 200 ‘Sesame Street’ episodes
> It will use the Discovery+ software (which is presumably better because HBO Max is terrible)

i know the new leadership claims Discover's tech is better, but i wonder if that is true. i wonder if it is PR-speak for creating some picture of reciprocity ("yes, HBO has content-- but discovery is bringing something to the party too!)."

i know the HBO Max app gets a lot of well-deserved flack. still, i imagine the underlining infrastructure is much more robust than anything discovery deals with in terms of load, scale, and internationalization.

dropping a new episode of House of Dragon tonight, or the new Wonder Woman movie in 4k HDR/etc. at a specific time must require far more interesting tech than whatever usage patterns the latest episode of 90 Day Fiancee necessitates.

ibero··on Supabase-JS v2
it is gated. 60 endpoints in a minute. thanks to OP i now know this.

follow them where?
ibero··on I didn't return my Apple Studio Display
I think the "vitriol" is perfectly valid.

Vague statements of "it will get better in the future" are non-binding and leave lots of wiggle room.

Let's be honest, the monitor does like two things that Apple claims justify the inclusion of the A13 (and the whopping 64 internal memory): the camera and sound.

Everyone who has used the product turns on the camera and instantly knows its garbage. Either Apple somehow got caught unaware or they thought it was good enough.

ibero··on Yandex Provides Update on Impact of Current Developments
i saw a man running into a crumbling building that was mortared to hell to get their neighbors children out.

pretty sure i seen some heroes.

ibero··on Apple Accelerates Work on Car Project, Aiming for Autonomous Vehicle by 2025
i do think it'll get there because it seems like the Apple Watch could be a manufacturing test bed for whatever AR product they are developing. and battery performance is at the very top.

in some ways the Apple Watch is a package that allows Apple to iterate on key elements of the miniaturization technology while having consumers pay for it and scale.

i just think that it feels like that's all Apple Watch is now, just a place to iterate hardware tech for some other future device they are more interested in.

ibero··on Apple Accelerates Work on Car Project, Aiming for Autonomous Vehicle by 2025
just to be a little contrarian, i have wondered if the Apple Watch hasn't stagnated.

i have one and i like the product category, but legitimately what has the last several years brought to the watch in term of Kevin Lynch's team? new yearly watch faces? new "dance" activity monitoring?

put another way, if you were to peruse apple fan blogs there are very little "wish list" features being clamored for, no? i take this to mean that the watch is either in a great state...or perhaps it's kind of stuck with a general lack of imagination on where it can go and do.

ibero··on Jony Ive’s first major design since leaving Apple
just to clear it up:

“flat design” is a reference or common term to a graphical design style that followed skeuomorphism, not a term used for the industrial design aspect.

ibero··on Interview with Charlie Munger on Controversial UCSB Dorm
windowless is a piece of it. these are larger and have their own bathroom. this does not map well as as comparison.

and, for myself an essential differentiator, the University of Michigan's are for older grad students.

ibero··on $600M taken in largest DeFi hack to date
that’s not a solid assumption.

if they can pursue their own interests freely and if those interests they pursue align with the majority or the totality it does not negate their decentralized nature.

ibero··on Apple making some employees wear body cams in response to leaks?
there is easily a billion dollar plus market of accessories that resolves entirely on knowing what the next iPhone will be like.

ibero··on Peloton to invest $400M to build its first U.S. manufacturing facility in Ohio
You are referring to 2 comments both heavily downvoted.
ibero··on Peloton to invest $400M to build its first U.S. manufacturing facility in Ohio
In that very thread the top comment thread is specifically about the treadmills lacking a "guard or plastic covering on the bottom that stops the tread from pulling something underneath."

that too me is something that would fall under a "factory fix."

ibero··on Stadia’s VP and head of product leaves Google
i imagine Google did not buy Zenimax because they seem to operate on a very compressed timeline for their new projects which makes any corporate courtship hard to pull off.

so unless Google came with an obscene "instant yes" offer to Zenimax then both sides would have had to enter some kind of protracted negotiations and talks, which doesn't seem to jive with Google's half in/half out attitude towards new products.

ibero··on Eddy Cue wanted to bring iMessage to Android in 2013
i honestly don’t remember what period of time you are referring to. could you elaborate on examples from the period of time iOS was “fraught with very unexpected failure modes?”

edit: i just saw your edit to specify iMessage the app.

ibero··on Response from Greg Kroah-Hartman to University of Minnesota Researchers
i don’t believe those have been made public.
ibero··on Slack outage: Degraded performance and connectivity issues
it is getting harder and harder to convince my higher ups to not switch us on to Microsoft Teams (which they practically consider free vs the thousands we spend monthly just for the dev team).

its one saving grace for us is the amount of legacy comments and history of discussions we have built up over years across conversations that is useful for reference.

ibero··on Facebook’s Oversight Board won’t launch in time to oversee the election
agreed.

and the idea that the "attribution" is a driving concern also ignores the fact that, well, nobody cares. there is universal agreement of Russia's involvement in 2016 and there was virtually no cost to be paid.

ibero··on Apple iPhone SE 2020 Camera review
nope!
ibero··on Microsoft to permanently close its retail stores
very interesting on the verge of their new console hardware launch.

the stores had a such a strong "games" presence that I assumed it would be critical showpiece of them-- especially if they have an All Digital hardware edition which meant (albeit dying) retailers like Gamestop would probably not carry the console.

it's a shame, regardless. i always had such a good customer experience there.
