Hi,

(H1B visa sponsorship required).

I'm experienced Software Engineer with a demonstrated history of 
working in the security and investigations industry. Skilled in 

Development and Electrical Engineering. Strong engineering 
professional with willingness to further education.

Actually I work as a full stack ASP.NET developer for SolarWinds 
in Brno (Czechia).

There are couple of my open source projects what I have done in 
past. https://github.com/Rikarin

This is news to me, and I live in the US. Also, if the US is collapsing, 
that is very bad news for D, seeing as how I live about 45 minutes from 
Walter, and Andrei lives in the US as well.

I think people often mistake the breathless bleating in the news for 
reality. In the end, I am confident that reality will prevail. It has 
such an ... uncompromising way about it. :)

With that resolved, let us return to the topic at hand.

To get an H1B you'll want to get a job with one of the majors. 
Microsoft, Google, Apple, Amazon. There are smaller companies, but the 
majors have a dedicated team of lawyers who can guide your H1B through 
the process. It is the consulting body-shops are bearing the brunt of 
the crackdown. Much to the rejoicing of the H1B's on my team. Second, 
getting a green card for an H1B is easily a 10 year wait. You'll be in 
for the long-haul. :)

None of these companies are looking for employees without working 
visa in the US. Mostly, they have branch offices in EU, so if I 
apply for a job, they will hire me in one of the EU offices.

But thanks for the advice, I'll apply for some job opportunities 
at these companies and try my best.

The reason for that is actually a quirk of the US visa regime. Look up 
the L1. It's less restrictive. But it requires you work for one year 
outside the country.

Also, perhaps you could delegate the policing of off topic 
threads to someone else..??

We could all use your attention elsewhere:

https://issues.dlang.org/buglist.cgi?bug_status=NEW&component=dmd&product=D&query_format=advanced&resolution=---&short_desc=d&short_desc_type=allwordssubstr

btw. I read somewhere that this forum software can't delete 
threads. That sounds pretty silly. Even sillier if it's true.

You could ask someone to volunteer, to waste their time policing 
the threads, looking for off topic discussions, and then delete 
them, or maybe have some facility to mark them for automatic 
deletion with a period of time...or something.

The forum software is a frontend for a newsgroup server, which 
also backs a mailing list. Although it would be possible to add a 
feature to delete posts from the local cache the forum uses, it 
wouldn't be something that could be synced across the other 
interfaces. Editing is tricky to implement, too.

And because we don't have moderators or require accounts, it's 
been longstanding policy here that we're on the honor system with 
our posts posts. In order to maintain a healthy environment and 
avoid toxic flamewars, politics and religion are discouraged as 
topics of discussion.

It's not true, despite what Mike said earlier.  For example, 
there was clear commercial spam posted to the Announce newsgroup 
earlier this month, which I and others noted at the time, and 
that entire thread has been deleted from the forum but not from 
the mailing list archive:

http://lists.puremagic.com/pipermail/digitalmars-d-announce/2017-November/046642.html

Also, many posts in this forum thread were similarly deleted.  Of 
course, emails sent out to the mailing list cannot be unsent, 
whereas I'm not sure what's done on the D newsgroup as I've never 
used it.  It has been said that you shouldn't respond to such 
spam posts, but my guess is that's only to make it easier to 
remove the thread, by not having to hunt down all the replies or 
something.

I agree that if Walter is the one moderating the forum, as 
appears to be the case, there's got to be some other way of doing 
it, as that cannot be the best use of his time.

Responding to spam encourages it. It's what the spammer wants. The same goes
for 
abusive posts.

If you still feel you must reply to it, do not quote any part of it.

I find that hard to believe, especially since spam threads like 
the one I linked are completely nuked from the forum.

Sure, that makes sense.  I sometimes try to reason with the 
person, but not if the abuse continues.

In the mailing list thread linked above, I only responded to tell 
codephantom that it was spam and that you prefer people not to 
respond.  I figured that was okay since he already responded to 
it.

btw, I sent you an email last week about some forum deletions 
that some moderator may have gone overboard with, haven't gotten 
a response yet.

I didn't say it's impossible to delete messages from the NNTP 
server. What I said was, "it wouldn't be something that could be 
synced across the other interfaces", and that absolutely is true. 
If you download a newsgroup message from the server before it's 
deleted, you've still got that message locally. The same holds 
for those using the mailing list interface.

Yes, I was only talking about your statements about there not 
being a moderator and implying forum posts couldn't be deleted, 
as should be clear from the rest of what I wrote.

People would still have it locally if they don't use the online 
forums.

It depends on the settings of the NNTP client too. Thunderbird can list 
a spam post but sometimes I get a message to the effect of "server said 
no such article" when I click on it. Even if the article is cached 
locally, the client can drop it.

Thanks!

Because our forum here is better and faster than any of the various forum 
software we looked at. It's also customized to our particular preferences and
needs.

This forum is for D, and supporting off-topic forums is not part of our purpose.

I enjoy arguing about politics myself, but not here. I recommend using reddit 
for politics.

For here, I appreciate everyone maintaining professional demeanor and keeping 
things reasonably about D.
