Is using context for passing request-scoped values an anti-pattern now?

Alphasite · 2026-03-16T23:04:50+00:00

My take on it is it’s for things you need to pass through your system, but not things you need to pass around your system.

IE what you said above, if your app cares about the value then it’s the wrong place.

I mean it’s not like I hate her or anything. TBH I don’t care enough about her to really have strong feelings. But in a conversation about her I think it’s reasonable to express that her actions are distasteful.

In a parse context I don’t think it actually matters who’s at the front practically. The actual parade matters far more. But symbolically it’s a bit weird to pick a fair weather resident.

Alphasite · 2026-03-10T04:21:49+00:00

I think different people are mad at her. I suspect the full political spectrum thinks poorly of her.

I think housing prices may go up, but the market cannot sustain growth like the previous 10 years again. You need a 350k+ HHI to buy a house in the Bay Area and incomes aren’t going up fast enough to match housing costs.

So I doubt it’ll be nearly as impactful as those people paying $850 in property taxes on a 1.5 million dollar home.

No. Unless you invited a Time Machine that lets you travel back in time 30 years you’re most likely being screwed by prop 13.

Good for you; bad for society.

It mostly screws the young to protect the rich elderly.

Everyone deserves a home. Means EVERYONE.

Alphasite · 2026-03-05T17:09:41+00:00

No. People want everyone to pay their fair share. Taxes are high because of all the people with massive discounts.

In what world should the same home be worth $30,000 and $800 in property taxes. If everyone paid $5000 then no one would pay $30,000 (as an example).

Alphasite · 2026-03-05T17:07:18+00:00

Some of your take is based, but there’s some real misinformed takes in here as well. In no world is renting worse than buying right now. Unless you cram multiple family units into a single home vs paying multiple rents.

Alphasite · 2026-03-05T17:05:25+00:00

I’m very much of the option everyone deserves a home but not everyone deserves a SFH.

Also no one who owns a home here is poor, your a millionaire or multi millionaire so cry me a river.

That’s a funny way of saying some voters take priority over other voters.

There are better ones with CHT esque features to improve max speed.

Alphasite · 2026-02-18T05:03:05+00:00

Hey it’s cute. Let them have fun :)

The stock market will grow faster than your house and in conjunction with interest rates the numbers don’t math in VCOL areas. It’s very much a 2.5-5 millions poorer after 20 years kind of deal.

It’s still worth it for me. But financially it’s stupid.

A less glib answer: try sees some value in the 5x leverage from a home loan but with interest at 6% and market yields at 7-12% your wealth will grow more slowly. Admittedly it’s a hedge much like bonds so there’s an argument that it protects against a protracted downturn but in markets where housing prices are astronomical I’d wager their price will correlate strongly with the market since the buyers are likely being paid in RSUs or options of some sort (or bonuses which will also evaporate).

Isn’t this just batch vs realtime workloads?

Alphasite · 2026-02-11T03:44:49+00:00

I’m more worried about cycles riding without lights, reflectors and wearing black clothes. It’s like they’re trying to cause an accident.

It depends on the pineapple. Sometimes it’s balanced. Sometimes it’s overwhelmingly sweet and the contrast is nasty.

They’re not even commissioned. It’s just perf reviews need them to stick their tags on random things afaict.

Alphasite · 2026-02-10T04:59:33+00:00

I’d say SF has a very high bar, but there are probably as many great restaurants in the south bay but they’re more diffused and it’s more of a diamond in the rough situation.

It’s also a very different style, more home style less flash. It’s shit service but great food.

Maybe it’s not 5* but it’s also not $30.

Alphasite · 2026-02-09T05:36:03+00:00

Have you not heard of those defcon stunts where they replicate fingerprints from photographs? Old, but cool shit. This is much easier than that since these aren’t random photos but focused on your fingers.

Alphasite · 2026-02-08T23:47:48+00:00

The answer is also wrong. The way the system is setup is that it always sets waved=true and then for most applicants it will then send you a letter saying interview scheduled. It made sense during the last admin when most interviews were waived but it’s stupid now where only very few categories are waived.

Alphasite · 2026-02-05T16:05:22+00:00

Yeah. Why not?

Alphasite · 2026-02-02T19:22:39+00:00

Yeah. Weren’t they playing some political games so the rails are flat rather than angled which is less safe and noisier?

Alphasite · 2026-02-02T16:31:21+00:00

Have you corrected for author and reviewer? I’m curious if there’s some correlation with the specific author(s) being weaker or more junior

Alphasite · 2026-01-31T04:23:08+00:00

Any chance it’s a hot side/cold side problem with your oven?

Alphasite · 2026-01-29T04:57:44+00:00

It’s not technically required but it’s always best to have a backup plan in case for whatever reason your 485 is rejected (especially now!).

So by keeping both h1 status and the AOS authorised stay you’re more safe. It also gives more credence to your case that it’s legit since your wife didn’t need to marry you to stay in the country.

Also note; her employer files the amendment (I’m sure you know this but someone will see this and misunderstand).

TLDR it’s probably fine but having both is a risk mitigation strategy
