I'd say that you must be new around here, but I've been watching you for a long time Mr Coward. You always have an opinion no matter what the subject and have been posting for longer than I have been visiting here.
Aww, she can't leave the country for a few months.
You really can't see past your nose can you. She is working in the US. Cancelling those BUSINESS trips causes financial harm to a US company. That screws over not just her but her fellow employees that ARE US Citizens. You know.. the sort of person you are, but with more common sense.
One of the huge problems with the US immigration system is this notion of rejecting people at the border. By the time someone gets to the border all the vetting should have already happened.
Unfortunately that is the way of immigration officials the world over and not just the USA. They have the absolute power to allow you to enter or stop you dead in your tracks.
And if she had a stamp in her passport from Israel, she would be executed upon entry into Iran (actually factually true).
True but irrelevant.
Sorry she comes from a shithole, but the "ban" is Trump's attempt to force those countries to vet the people getting visas so we can tell they are not terrorists coming to kill US citizens.
She already has the Visa. She has been vetted. She is already here.
Once those countries comply and allow proper vetting, they get taken off the list.
Umm.. you do realize that it is the US that is doing the vetting don't you? Do you?
They refuse to comply, the ban will be extended past the original 120 days. As soon as those idiots stop thinking coming to the US to kill us is a good idea, they will be treated better. Until then, I don't really care how long they are banned.
It's the banning the people who are coming here with good intentions that is the issue. But you seem hung up on THE EVIL TERRORISTS THAT LURK IN EVERY SHADOW.
When did it become evil to even TRY to protect US citizens from foreign terrorist? You realize you are arguing to benefit ISIS?
How the fuck is screwing over a person who has been vetted already has a visa protecting the US from terrorists? If anything it plays directly in to the easily radicalized by saying "look at how bad the US treats its friends. The US is obviously evil and doesn't want to give anyone else a fair chance".
Or maybe, just maybe, the Iranian government screwed her over?
By your logic anyone who is Iranian by birth* is tainted and thus should be treated with distrust, and there no is manner by which they can prove their humanity.
Pissing off innocent people is not a good way to win hearts and minds and plays directly into the hands of those who would be easily radicalized. Thus making the global terror situation worse than it is now.
*Is there a lower age limit by which an Iranian is so tainted? Or in your mind does terrorism begin at conception?
Cancel 5 trips over the next 90 days? For an Australian citizen? Based on a nebulous fear?
Smells fishy to me dude. I'd check your sources on that one.
Do you mean like this direct quote that I just copied from FB????? The one I paraphrased above???? That one???
Immigration lawyers have said that if I fly overseas I will not be allowed to board a flight back to the US. No one born in Iran (or the 6 other countries listed on the EO) can enter unless they have an American passport or greencard (contentious). 20+ years living in Australia, 5+ years in UK and US, an Aussie passport, a visa to work here.. all irrelevant because of my country of birth. Tomorrow's flight cancelled, 4 other trips over the next 90 days postponed. It's a sad time to be in America.
A friend of a friend on Facebook is Iranian by birth. She has lived 20+ years in Australia and is an Australian citizen. She has also previously lived 5+ years in the UK and is now in the middle of a 5+ year stint in the US. She does not have a green card but is working in the US under a valid US work visa (but I don't know which class). She has had to cancel 5 international business trips in the short term because as per Trump if she leaves the US the immigration lawyers at her work have said as a best guess that she won't be able to re-enter.

The object to my adblocker. I object to the manner in which ads are served. And this story is not worth the $1 they want me to pay in order to keep my adblcoker on while I read it.
Let's just see how many of those features I can move over from my (mostly very portable) existing image manipulation code. And how quick. Today serves as the starting line. Assuming age doesn't kick me nipples north in the short term, and no other unforeseen disaster shows its ugly face, I expect to be raising my figurative middle finger in Adobe's direction quite soon as these things go.
In other words you want to compete with people like Affinity Photo which sells for $US40 or even The GIMP. Both of which are mature projects. So what are you going to do to differentiate yourself in the market?
I get tired of developers who seem to think I'll give them a good review if they keep asking for one; that is especially true if I paid for the app. I don't mind a one time ask when I first start using it or after an update; but periodic asks is just as likely to get a 3 star so so review as a good one even if I like the app.
I know that this is an Apple story, but a while ago I had the Calculator App on Windows 10 pop up and ask me if I wanted to give it a review. WTF. Am I supposed to commend it for telling me that 2+2=4, or is it along the lines of the XKCD Tornado Warning App where I am impressed by the look and feel, but missed that it returned a wrong result?
I'm pretty sure the National Day of Patriotic Devotion is a Pence thing. There's no way the orangutan could have written that, much less **would** have written it
I see where you are coming from, but it does fit into the trope of everything being about Trump. However I will have to take a closer look at all things Trump in the future to see how visible the hand of Pence is.
How cute, you believe that people who are 100% on political money are magically gallant, honorable, have no biases or beliefs that cloud their thought process, and would never interpret data or correct data towards the objective of continuing their income.
Ahh.. yes. The global conspiracy of scientists who are only in it to line their pockets. Never mind that their data and methods are publicly available for scrutiny and that even independent skeptics organizations have validated the data and conclusions.
That being said, with the manipulation of data that goes on across the board (NOAA, NASA, etc etc) You can't trust anything coming out regardless of who is president.
How cute, you seem to be deliberately conflating political manipulation of data with changing data via scientific processes in order to make a thinly veiled anti-global warming statement.
Trusting government data is an age old problem, and even though I might Godwin myself over this, Goebbel said things like:
A lie told once remains a lie but a lie told a thousand times becomes the truth
and
The truth is the greatest enemy of the State.
That Trump is trying to channel Goebbels* is not surprising given who Trump is and his past utterances. (But I don't know which Emperor he was trying to channel when he proclaimed the "National Day of Patriotic Devotion" which coincided with his inauguration - seriously.. it's a real thing)
* The headline of TFA is "In the Trump administration era of ‘alternative facts,’ what happens to government data?", something that TFS should have taken into account.
My job can be automated as soon as someone can create some software that takes multiple sets of ill defined and incomplete specs* and can create a working, tested piece of code that not only does what was written down, but also does what was intended to be written down but never was.
* And in my current line of work there is a set of specs from the final customer, a set of specs from the company that builds the hardware and a set of specs from the company** I am working for that supplies the actual automation. And all of these specs are ill defined and incomplete in their own ways.
** And within that company the group that designs the physical wiring doesn't really converse with the sales critters that bid on the job, or with people like me who end up writing the control software***
*** Maybe they need a "Bender" module to emulate all the swearing I am doing at everyone else?
It got to be a habit for me at a previous job when I had co-workers who would hope they can get their hands on an unattended machine. One poor schlub left his machine unattended while I was out at lunch. When I came back from lunch, the guy who left the machine unattended was being fired because his machine mysteriously sent nasty E-mails to C-level brass and their families, the source code he was working on was replaced with just commented out rants and checked into SVN, and copy of some phishing message with Locky attached was executed from his machine.
That says more about the quality of the company culture than anything else. Did someone do this because they were so pissed off at the C levels that they felt that this was a reasonable thing to do? Or did they do this because they wanted to get the victim fired - for whatever reason. And I don't know what is worse.. doing it for the lulz or doing it because of a vendetta.
This is really an XCode question. But why does XCode not have a native package manager? I've programmed commercial programs with both Visual Studio and XCode and I can say that NuGet is fantastic for C# and really helps boost the C# ecosystem. Why is there nothing like that for XCode.
Perl and Python also have great external libraries (as probably do other languages that I have never really used)
Oh and BTW why does refactoring of Swift code suck compared to Objective-C?
Given that Windows XP support was dropped years ago I would hope that they shut down a crummy rewards program trying to give it away.
The project, that was originally started by Nokia under the name DVLUP rewards program, aimed to reward developers with badges, XP, gift cards and other prizes for developing or incorporating new features in their apps.
as well as state what time period the 18% drop was over...a day...a month...a year???
Um I know that this is/. but it's genuinely lame to not have read TFS that only contains 4 sentences and states
Earlier this week, on its first trading day of the new year, Bitcoin crossed above the $1,000 mark for the first time since 2013, but it has now tumbled below that level.
You supply email in text and HTML format because people who do real and meaningful work on desktops and laptops want to see the text, not HTML.
So.. I'm don't do real and meaningful** work because I like to see HTML in emails? Way to go to invalidate me as a person.
Sure, plain text has a place, but with HTML I can reply to a colleagues email and highlight my comments or point out issues in various colors in the body of the email* rather than breaking things bit by bit as I would have to do in a plaintext email.
* See what I did here? I used HTML to emphasize the point I was making. How would you easily do that in plain text?
** I suppose then I should throw in the towel over this control system software I am writing right now for this $$$ ship to shore crane, because by extension it isn't meaningful work.

Now I have to wonder when the Greatest Nation on Earth is going to do the same.
Oh. I forgot myself for a moment. It's profit over people. All the people, all the time.

Wait until the coming revolution comrade!
