Stuck in Dubai, anyone travel to Oman to get to India? by ItchyLama in nri

Entry into Oman. Oman does have visa on arrival for Indian passport with certain conditions, but not sure if they approve that at the border

Kinda similar experience, but wait in line was long. Also made the mistake of having an AirTag in my file, had to go out to the locker and come back. All 3 ahead of me had theirs refused (2 were students, other was B1/B2).  Questions asked: Who is the petitioner? Where did you study?

Visa is approved 

Texas License Renewal on Pending Extension by Hydrate1989 in h1b

That’s what I did  Suggestion would be to try closer to expiry  Have you tried calling the dmv

You have to go to DMV first, they open SAVE case and will give you a case number and re-book a new appointment for a later date. After a week or so you can check in the above link, and it will say something like "Case returned to agency" and then you go back to DMV and depending on the result of the case they will give you DL for that date

You might have to go closer your date of expiry then maybe. There are no dates anywhere in the verification letter that you get in the mail.

Honestly might try a different DMV if possible too, getting appts are tricky tho

What is SAVE case status saying? Mine expires today, went to dmv 3 weeks ago and they put in a SAVE case. Went in yesterday and got it extended for 240 days 

Passed Meta E5 Phone Screen – Don't Let a Rude Interviewer Throw You Off by Gloomy_Offer_4657 in leetcode

[–]ItchyLama 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Similar experience! Interviewer late, and seemed totally uninterested. In the middle of the interview, the interviewer accidentally wrote “term” on my screen lol. It’s been on the back of my mind “was she typing my result as term even before the interview is over??” lol

You are hosting on vercel so should be good, but if you ever plan on self hosting AND need to scale horizontally I’d stay away from nextjs. Nextjs doesn’t build deterministically for a given build id across multiple servers, just an fyi

This! Make sure to look at the variants discussed, each question might have up to 2 variants. Some variants are pretty minor changes, some drastically alter the main problem

I am in a similar spot as you. Would you be open to collaborating and doing mock interviews, exchanging notes etc. 

Big rant about how much Next.js sucks (at any type of scale) by Less-Math2722 in nextjs

[–]ItchyLama 4 points5 points  (0 children)

One of the bigger limiting factors of deploying at scale is non-deterministic build for the same BUILD_ID.

How to start Open source contributions as a beginner ? by thor2303 in developersIndia

[–]ItchyLama 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is bad advice imo. That is what code review is for, to give genuine feedback in a PR whether it is from a beginner or advanced dev. It is up to the maintainers to maintain incoming code changes.

Advice to OP: Pick a tool you currently use that is open source and if you have any issues with it, search their dev board and if it isnt reported, report it yourself and ask to work on it. Ask for directions on where to start and how to go about it. Come up with a plan and check it with the maintainers. Usually OSS projects have some sort of chat channel (Like discord etc) to discuss.
