From what I read, I don't think OP knows. My dad came here on a J-1 visa as a student which meant my mum, my sisters and me came here on a J-2 visa since we were dependent on his visa status.

It took us 10 years of constant applying, thousands of dollars spent before we got our green cards. I still remember my interview because I got my green card in 2015 and it was the most invasive thing I've ever gone through. I still even remember all the interviews we had to do before we got our visas to come to America.

In my opinion, I don't think OP really knows how difficult it is to get to America in the first place as an immigrant. It's not as simple as the media makes it out to be.

Ah I see. I guess I got confused somewhere. Thanks for the clarification.

Can someone explain to me the main differences between a language like Common Lisp and Haskell?

I'm planning on learning on a purely functional language this year and I've narrowed it down to Haskell and CL but I don't know which to pick. Haskell has sort of been winning due to my friends knowing it and using it.

If you have any resources as well, please let me know. I don't know if this is the right place to post this.

I deleted the comments but it doesn't mean I'm not going to fight. I'm just trying to be civilized. Exposing the company could make things more complicated and I don't really want that.

Ok. How do I go about deleting comments? It seems I've missed the time to delete the comments.

I do agree with everything you've said though. I now wish I didn't mention the company but I guess it's too late to change that.

EDIT: I emailed hn@ycombinator.com about deleting the comments. Hopefully that helps.

EDIT 2: seems like the comments are gone.

I should mention that I've managed to curb my addiction for the past year and a half now. Coming up to two years clean in December.

Thanks Krish. <3

I'm deleting the article tonight but I wanted to make sure people got the whole story and I didn't mention the company at all.

I'll definitely look into getting an internship gig and probably spend all of tonight and tomorrow applying for the software gigs that I think I'll be a good fit in. Still debating suing.

Actually I live in Indiana but very close to Chicago and commute to Chicago daily for work....well I did. My boss was from Indiana and I don't think he was either Christian or Mormon.

I see a psychiatrist and a therapist twice a week. Obviously they're are cutting into my runway but I figured it's worth it since I've been doing much better ever since I wrote the piece of writing.

You can read the piece of writing I wrote here: https://medium.com/@tmidao/confession-55fa5d4a3c0b

I'm always happy to clarify on any part that wasn't clear or you need more information on.

[1] I'm leaving highschool in june. I've heard it's much harder to make friends after high school.

I didn't know that was actually possible. I'm going to find out where to go on Monday after talking to my counselor. Just need time to think about things.

Would getting a transfer degree at a community college be better than getting an associates that ties in with the field I want to study? I intend on studying until I get my Masters but I don't know if I should go for an associates in something that relates closely to CS or get a transfer degree in science.

Where would I need to look for that? Also judging from your username, I have a feeling you are Nigerian just like me and I find that pretty cool.

really wish i could make it. sigh.

I also as a Nigerian would like to know. If I charge someone in Naira, how does that work?

When I think minorities, I think African American and Hispanic. I grew up in Nigeria and I'm lucky that my parents decided to move to America where I picked up on programming. If there were more notable blacks in SV, I would have decided on programming sooner.

Non white immigrants to me are not minorities but I could be and I probably am wrong.

Oh. Sorry. I'm a bit tired and I'm a bit out of it. While I could make that much working full time, there are no jobs that pay that rate around here. Most jobs I've found around here pay minimum wage. The most I've found for someone like me pays $11.50/hr.

Does that really matter? At least it's something.

Email sent.

I don't have to big of a budget. I don't have a lot of money so it either free house or something around $850 which I know will be impossible to find.

My internship is from June 17th to July 22nd at MakeGamesWithUs in San Francisco. It's located in SOMA. I'm 17, from the midwest, African American. Not sure what else to say.

If only someone can put all this information with a format like hack design. That would be pretty cool.

I'm only a junior in high school so I still have quite some time to think about it. I will definitely check out NoSQL Tapes.

I see film as an art form and I love watching indie films. I love films because of the stories that they have to tell. The main thing I love about computer science is programming. The ability to create something out of nothing or just an idea.

I just like watching films and I like programming. I took a video production class at my high school and I love doing editing because for me, it's in someway like programming because you get to decide what the final output will be like.

I'l try and find that link.

I'm not saying it's a problem. I'm just wondering why some many developers choose to use them rather than Windows or a Linux distro.

Thanks

Thanks. I will give it a try.

I am planning to study CS in college. I have a lot of time on my hands since I'm on summer break. I just want to increase my skills over the summer.
