I know that Godaddy does this. It sucks that NameCheap is doing similarly crappy stuff..

A good Password Manager - doesn’t matter which.

Helps avoid password resets and makes logins in apps much easier.

Can access on Jio fiber

Right now, every visa is a hassle. It is unreal how much of a bottleneck US Immigration system has become - no visa appointment slots for months, or years in some cases.

Then, if you do get a H1, you will likely never get a Green card given the current rules.

For short term (5-7 years), you may surely consider getting some sort of work visa. Long term, if you are looking for PR, US is not the one to look at for Indians.

I am in mid 30s, got PR approval 5 years ago. At current rate, I will retire and still not have a PR. It’s ridiculous, but not funny at all.

I have Sleep Apnea, use CPAP daily since about 6 years now and it has been a life-changing experience.

Sucks to have been sleepy and tired for all the years I can remember.

Can you elaborate on what MMA and TDP expansions are? Where are you (or the doc you refer) located?

I am completely fine with using CPAP, but if I don’t need it at all, that would be even better.

I have been there and this situation sucks.

I have been testing payments with Stripe, using both an Indian and a US credit card.

I have standing instructions on Indian CC and get advance email notifications but it goes through.

Don’t even get any notification for US CC, except post payment notification.

Experience may vary for larger amounts, as mentioned in the comments here.

Dashlane. Been using it for a few years now. A bit disappointed that they discontinued native apps for Mac and Windows.

Wonder why it is never mentioned here on HN.

Two interviews can to mind when I read this.

1. An in-person phone round interview at one of the social media Companies in the Bay Area. The interviewer came 10 min late, gave me a problem and was then busy as hell with his phone. At least he had the courtesy to tell me that there was a prod issue he was engaged in, but still, not cool.

The problem was tough as hell, and I didn’t solve it. There was no help/prompts either. I was curious about the source of the problem - and the person told me that it was his own personal twist on a problem from competitive programming competitions.

So, basically, unless you are a seasoned competitive programmer, you are screwed. Again, not cool.

2. An interview at one of the Big Banks in SF for a Engg role. One of the interviewers asked me about my current job and was visibly upset when I said it was cool and nice. Then they followed that up by being disinterested and openly hostile in the rest of the interview.

Didn’t get the job and dodged a bullet. But I still don’t understand what his problem was. Since when is it necessary to hate and abuse your current job when you look for the next one?

Ha! I agree Ruby is probably weirder, even though I love it.

It's going to be Webdev with Flask. This is another vote for Python The Hard Way - will take a look at it, and get some hands-on time with Python.

Yes, they are OK with that, but I'd like to ramp up as much as I can.

As to the IDE, I am assuming they would be using PyCharm and that should be familiar since I use RubyMine. I'll check.

That is a very nice resource list! Thanks for sharing!

Awesome. Hadn't thought of that!

Very practical tips. Thanks!

Already been reading. Time to work on the other two steps! :)
