You are moving the goal posts. You said this memo does not apply to dual intent visa holders and I proved it does. I am not saying if an exception should be made ffor H1B visa holders or not.

I am just pointing out this affects all employment visa types.for countries with long delays in counselor processing this effectively kills any chance of getting Green card because no employer will wait that long.

This is not true. It is not nearly immediate at US consulate and backlogged in US. The parent doesn't know what they are talking about.

No the memo specifically says:

> However, maintaining lawful status in a dual intent nonimmigrant category is not sufficient, on its own, to warrant a favorable exercise of discretion.

Which basically means that, applying AOS while being in dual-intent category is not favorable and you will have to prove extraordinary circumstance for a simple i-485 AOS on H1B. Lacking the extraordinary circumstance, your application may be denied.

What this basically means for millions of people on H1B (especially from countries like India is), they have to go for consular processing. And given the lack of appointments in India and delays they are facing - you could be stuck for months to years and no company is going to wait for you while you go through the process. So leaving would definitely disqualify them.

Ugh - say I wrote a daemon that runs every 2 hours, it exposes no end points and has no metrics. But just because I depend on some library that brings in promethus which in turn brings some http2 library, I am on the hook for fixing this Cve in my code.

Shouldn't it be on security researcher to prove that how this can be exploited if no http end points are created?

So much of security scanning is such bullshit.

Ha ha. The part that isn't being discussed how it is more profitable for certain commercial interests to have more vulnerabilities even if they are bogus.

There is something wrong with security industry and we are all paying the price. At my day job some tool automatically opens security bugs against 15 or so repos we maintain and now we are on the hook for arguing how the report was bogus or fix the vulnerability. Just PR and Jira dance one has to do is exhausting.

As John Stewart says in https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=20TAkcy3aBY - "How about I hold the fort on making peanut butter sandwiches, because that is something I can do. How about we let AI solve this world climate problem".

Yet to see a true "killer" feature of AI, that isn't doing a job badly which humans can already do badly.

>The Ruby implementation has a subtle mistake which causes signficantly more work than it needs to.

To be fair, I do not think that is a "mistake" as such. I have written Ruby professionally for 6 years or so and have committed to several Ruby open source projects and haven't seen an innocus `nil` sitting at the end of a loop, to prevent array allocation.

The argument would be fair, if it wasn't idiomatic Ruby.

More like - knowing internals of a language will allow one to gain more performance out of it. That has been true for almost every programming language, but general speaking the goal of a VM based language is to not require that _specialized_ knowledge.

So, whatever is posted publicly on "polite" forums about what was going on Hyprland discord is tip of the iceberg. See for yourself - https://imgur.com/a/6Po3Paq

Changing someone's pronouns without their permissions seems like least of their offenses.

Hyprland discord appears to be a cesspool and one fermented by Vaxry himself, trans hate or otherwise. Now some people are saying - they have improved (and others are saying they have not). But reading his blog posts and seeing current status, I am not optimistic. I mean you can't make this stuff up. Why use a opensource discord community for sharing porn? (which likely have minors).

I can find them in Georgia (far and few in-between) and they are super useful, if I must say - if not for folks across the border, hand carwashes will entirely disappear from US.
