Pardon my ignorance but why do you need to leave the US again?

Based on my limited understanding - if you already have a EB-2 petition approved, you should be able to continue working on H1 as long as your employer is sponsoring you unless you're moving out of frustration due to long wait times.


To do that I would need to take up a job at some big tech firm.

If someone in my situation is forced to do shut down his startup and work for a big firm to stay in US, imagine how difficult it would be for someone else to decide to quit their job to do a startup!

I think big companies have played this well!


Pycharm (community edition) - you gotta use it to believe it. Incredible piece of software.

Dropbox (basic) - Support across platforms with cli.


Count me in for PyCharm Community Edition


Not all of us have 32G RAM.

Interesting, I hadn't realized it's that scale.

And a good reason for California to invest in high-speed rail, in my own opinion.


I took the opportunity to go from San Francisco to Los Angeles via the Coast Starlight train (and then from Los Angeles to San Diego via the Pacific Surfliner) and it was an amazing trip. I obviously could've saved so much more time flying, but I had a day to kill, and taking the train in a private sleeper roomette seemed like the best way to do it. I would definitely make that trip again (and the included meals were great).

I generally goto remitrate to check best rates offered today : http://www.remitrate.com/best-exchange-rates/compare-USD-to-...

In my experience, Transferwise has been one of the most expensive ones if not the most expensive. Folks at remitly, ria almost always offer better rates compared to Transferwise (atleast on two occasions when I was sending it)

I would at some point want to give them a try though.


When I started out as a web developer 5 years ago, one of the prime reasons for choosing FF over chrome was Firebug.

As a beginner, it made debugging so much easier. Five years later, I still cant fathom using anything but Firefox, alas, without firebug.


That's odd because I seem to recall that I switched to Chrome from Firefox shortly after Chrome was released because it shipped with Dev Tools circa 2009.

I mean 5 years ago, Chrome added debugging Web Workers[0] so clearly Chrome Dev Tools were already quite mature by 2012.

My memory might be way off base here, but I'm fairly sure Chrome Dev Tools were in a reasonable state by 2012. Screenshots from the time certainly suggest so. My experience is much the opposite, in that it was around 2012 or so that I probably stopped installing Firefox on my dev machines altogether.

That said, recent features in Firefox (Containers especially) have me much more interested again.


I played around with Chrome in 2008 when it first came out in beta, and I remember finding Chrome Devtools an improvement over Firebug.

By the time the Firefox 4 betas were out, it was no contest; Firebug was very crashy (which, to be fair, it's hard for an extension to support a beta browser, but Chrome's dev and beta channels always had a reasonably stable devtools thanks to it being built-in).


and now why i use chrome :/

dunno if chrome tools are better, but ff tools are sloow


I havent finished yet, but I'm currently working on creating NAT using Raspi for :

1) Creating time machine backups 2) Accessing external hard drive anywhere

Will create a gist when I do finish.


Coolest thing I've seen in a while :)


I'm scared, have you even seen plants vs. zombies? Hoping Open AI takes a serious look at this one. [Levity -> Serious]: Imagine that this was applied to animals or even humans?


^ Sharp rebuttal that.


Here in midtown Boston, my experience has been a stark contrast compared to yours.

It seemed much more reliable than USPS at all times.
