Maybe a dumb question, but... I'm a Canadian who would qualify for a TN visa if I worked in the States, but don't currently have a visa or green card. On the online submission form for job openings, it always asks "Are you legally entitled to work in the US?". Am I meant to answer yes or no to that?

I don't know how it works, but it seems very odd that serialization/reflection wouldn't work with AOT... the information you need is there in memory either way, isn't it?

I was introduced to this word by the Carl Sagan novel Contact, and I’ve always remembered it.

AA sounds like a horrible company. They had a design legacy from when their logo and identity were designed by Massimo Vignelli, but they threw it away and didn't seem to have any concept of its value. Their website has terrible design and usability. When a blogger posted an article about how bad it was, one of the designers at AA reached out anonymously and said they understood his criticisms and that they were working to make the site better. AA searched their mail servers to find that employee and fired them for... caring, I guess?

Thanks for sharing my story, Galonk!

I didn’t know adding text to the submission would show up as a comment so it looks like I’m the author. Sorry about that!

A month ago I was diagnosed with tongue cancer. This is my journey of regret, joy, anger, and inter-species body modification.

That's a really interesting detail - presumably channels can be passed so you can do callbacks ("reply on this other channel").

I wonder why floats aren't on that list? I know they're more complex than ints, but I would expect they would still end up with a relatively simple binary representation.

I don’t know why floats aren’t included, but any float can be easily represented by an int with same bits, or a bytestring, using the struct module to convert between them, so there are clear workarounds.
