Same here, I have issues with Github, giving me 500s when loading the page, new pushed commits not showing up...


The only way for me to find these stories is to use HN Algolia and sort by most popular in the last 24 hours. I guess lot of people do the same



I wonder what kind of dirt that could be, if he's already a known child rapist.


You can use 16px font size on mobile so the browser won't zoom in to the text field.


Thank you! this should be fixed, I didn't realize ios had a zoom in feature like this. There was also an issue with the overflow not working on ios, which is also fixed


So much this. It's a perfect match for React. Let's you keep data/logic out of the components, 0 boilerplate, optimized renders (similar to what react compiler will do...).

You can even use tanstack-query to get all/most of its benefits. (by using its core package instead of react-query)


You previously answered me that getting H1B without a degree is a thing, but one has to have their work history well documented. Could you please expand on what involves? What if the companies someone worked at no longer exist? Thanks


That makes it tougher of course but letters from former colleagues or supervisors also can do the trick along with other evidence such as offer letters, employment agreements, and pay records.


Does the same apply for TN1?


No. The TN while easier in many ways is less flexible regarding alternative requirements; for nearly all TN occupations, an actual bachelor's degree, not the equivalent based on education and/or experience, is required.


I went through this myself when joining a FAANG. A few of the companies I worked for don't exist, but I kept the original job offers, anything outlining the job duties, a post employment recommendation / HR letter and various things like that. The immigration lawyers had a different company that assessed the work experience to the standard of a university degree with a letter of recommendation.


4k 32" is 77% less pixels than 5k 27". That many pixels make night and day difference in text sharpness


MobX is not that known unfortunately. It kills me inside.


How common are H1Bs for people without a degree but with 12+ years of experience? Is that a legit thing?


USCIS applies a 3 to 1 rule.


This was my own path; I had to use a service to certify my experience (it included getting multiple letters of recommendation from previous employers) and after three tries I got my H1B. The odds of getting accepted for each year were impacted because the pool for people without degrees is smaller than the rest, so it took patience and time.


I replied elsewhere - but this was my (successful - now an LPR) path.

My lawyer told me you need a 4 year degree equivalent, and 4 years of experience can convert to a year.

If you have zero university education, that would be 16 years' experience required, based on that lawyer's legal instruction.


The relevant part is 8 CFR 214.2(h)(4)(iii)(D)(5) ( https://www.law.cornell.edu/cfr/text/8/214.2#h_4_iii_D_5 )

> 5) A determination by the Service that the equivalent of the degree required by the specialty occupation has been acquired through a combination of education, specialized training, and/or work experience in areas related to the specialty and that the alien has achieved recognition of expertise in the specialty occupation as a result of such training and experience. For purposes of determining equivalency to a baccalaureate degree in the specialty, three years of specialized training and/or work experience must be demonstrated for each year of college-level training the alien lacks. For equivalence to an advanced (or Masters) degree, the alien must have a baccalaureate degree followed by at least five years of experience in the specialty


8 years of real experience equated to 2 years of university? That is such a shame.


This is ridiculous in both directions. In one direction, someone can have 12 months of tech industry experience with more knowledge than a Masters degree holder. In the other direction, it's also possible to have 30 years of real experience in the tech industry without being particularly skilled labor (the apocryphal "three months of experience, repeated a hundred times").


I don't see 8 => 2. I see 3 => 1 from Peter and 4 => 1 in this answer.


Very legit. The experience just needs to be professional and well-documented and the evaluation done by a reputable evaluation service.


Documented meaning I need to have all my previous job contracts/documents? What if the companies don't exist anymore?


It's not completely unreasonable point. I do see it's a very different type of work compared to mine. But I learned that life is not about doing something you love, but learning to love what you do. So I'm game to try something new.


I think you've nailed the point that they missed. You do not always get to do what you already love, especially when you have responsibilities, family etc. What you can do though is what you suggest, learn to love what you do. Which usually starts with being competent at it.
