Yeah, it's not good for Brazilian Portuguese. It's always using Portugal Portuguese (pequeno almoço, teu dia, etc).


I've always preferred using PayPal for payment, but after this I'll start avoiding it and just use my CC directly when possible.


Oh no. I use this feature all the time


Is there an example of importing js functions to imba, or calling imba from inside js or ts? I could not find this.

In Scala js, this interoperability is quite painful, so I wanted to see how easy it is in imba.


Hi Peter. I'm from Brazil and I've recently finished my Master's in the US and have been working in CS under opt for the last 6 months. My company missed the H1-b deadline. Do I have any other options / anything else they could still do this year besides applying for the stem extension?


Other than a STEM extension, your options would be an O-1 or green card application (in a category where there is no backlog).


It is because of institute hostility that there are fewer hacks.

That hack in particular took multiple months of preparation and was took down by the institute in less than 1 hour; before anyone could really see it. Also the amount of security and possible consequences has increased drastically in the last 2 years; continuing the trend of the last 6 years.


I don’t think that sort of hack would have been taken down any less quickly in the past. The only time dome hacks have lasted a while have been when they’re extremely tricky to take down.

I have some further opinions about what you allude to at the end of your comment, but that should probably be taken offline.


R2D2 hack was left up for more than a day...

http://hacks.mit.edu/Hacks/by_year/1999/r2d2/

Several Lobby 7 hacks were also left up for a while (though admittedly less obvious and dangerous perhaps than Great Dome hacks).


r2d2 also happened 19 years ago.

I know people who were at MIT then. It was, by all accounts, a vastly different place.


Yeah, but so was the rest of the country.

They did the annual sodium drop pretty soon after 9/11 and were somehow surprised when the response was different.

For smart people, they could be really, really dumb.


The terrorists won that day, not because of the physical destruction, but because of the literal description of their profession. Terror was instilled, and the public psyche still hasn't been treated properly, it's like the nation as a whole has PTSD.


Earth Day hack, from last year: http://hacks.mit.edu/Hacks/by_year/2017/earth_day/ was left up for several days (not listed there, but I was around to see it up)
