it’s worth pointing out that large US tech companies hire international applicants and sponsor work visas for these folks. i get that not everyone is willing/able to make the move for various reasons, of course.

edit: applications -> applicants

Except that work visas are virtually impossible to get these days.

The US would probably get a flood of extremely high quality applicants if they only fixed a few basic social services.

I've not personally tried it, but I remember thinking rdl sounded promising after seeing this talk (looks like there's a video online): https://www.thestrangeloop.com/2017/type-checking-ruby.html

Professionals anonymously ripping apart a non-anonymous undergraduate paper :clap:

I think nobody would mind criticising the paper with their name and surname. It is an objective fact that the paper contains grammar mistakes, jokes, and no original research - it is hardly defamation or libel to say so.

It's one of the worst offenders I've ever seen.

You know those carousels everybody hates that everybody puts on their websites... this startup made their entire website a carousel :(

PayPal owns Venmo.

I think the exact sequence of events was Braintree bought Venmo for ~$25M and then later PayPal bought Braintree.

one of these can be shortened: cw - deletes the current word & enters insert mode

Not quite: cw deletes until the end of the current word from the current position and then enters insert mode. ciw deletes the entire your current position is in and enters insert mode. Go ahead and try them.

Apparently yiw can be shortened to yw as well
