Headline is misleading as USCIS is suspending in-person visa operations. Renewals and transfers of US visas are often conducted via courier and post.

From https://uscis.gov

> As of March 18, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services has suspended routine in-person services until at least April 1 to help slow the spread of Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19). USCIS staff will continue to perform duties that do not involve contact with the public. However, USCIS will provide emergency services for limited situations. To schedule an emergency appointment contact the USCIS Contact Center.


Agreed. That's a pretty big omission by the OP


It is the exact title used by the Reuters article. It's a pretty big omission but not by OP.


Fair. Thanks


> The length of the beard is proportional to ops experience.

I know you're trying to be funny, but this statement excludes all people who can't grow long beards from being considered "ops".


Why did you have to turn this into a sexist argument? OP was clearly just joking around and not trying to suppress non men


Lots of men can't grow a beard! Reading sexism is GPs comment says more about you than about them.


As someone with a lot of indio blood, I can't grow a beard. But I did grow a sense of humor. Kindly fuck off.


> Kindly fuck off.

After you


Also, not everybody has such a cool Christmas sweater!



I hope apps don't kill websites for the same reason I'm glad people don't build flash microsites anymore.

The number one reason I prefer the web is that it's extensible! If there's a web app I don't like, I can write a userscript to modify it to my needs. The web has a standard API (HTML/JS/CSS) and a means for extension so I'm free to make the web suit me. This freedom is something that I miss when I'm using a mobile device and I hope it never goes away.


Great idea!

I see:

  Could not generate a preview, please check the URL is valid and   does not redirect then try again.
It seems like the service is down, so the error message is probably incorrect. That being said, you should follow redirects, this is a no-brainer. You can make HEAD requests to save bandwidth. Also, this one is minor, the enter key should submit the form.


It does follow redirects but I think javascript redirects are causing a problem occasionally, still a couple of issues I need to work out. The occasional url does not get parsed properly for some reason which is probably causing this error.

Thanks man, I didn't know the keyboard shortcut


Kinda "useless" without links to the patches.


It's rather strange to see a QWERTY layout when using dvorak. That said, if you showed a dvorak layout to a QWERTY user, you'd have a powerful demonstration of how much less finger travel there is and it convince them to switch.


that's an interesting idea, I think I'll add a dvorak view in my next session :)


ditto with colemak (http://colemak.com)


104wpm and then 96wpm

This is considerably higher than I usually score (which is why I took it twice), especially considering I was on a laptop keyboard. This leads me to question the accuracy of this test.


There's also the reader extension http://labs.postrank.com/gr You can set the treshold, and it will dim out the items that are below it. It greatly increases your ability to "fly through" items, without worrying too much about what you're missing.


As far as topics are concerned, I'd really like to see a vim plugin created from start to finish. The tutorials and docs that exist leave a lot to be desired, and this seems like a nice venue to demonstrate (and explain!) the capabilities of the vim plugin system.


While this is an excellent topic for advanced vim users, I suspect that the majority of us would benefit more from a "Beyond the basics" topic.

I'm comfortable with using vim to edit files now and then, but for that role any editor will do. Now I'm willing to invest some time to learn how to harness the full power of vim. Signed up.


There is a chapter on Vim scripting in my online book, please take a look and let me know your feedback - http://www.swaroopch.com/notes/Vim_en:Scripting
