I am a Christian from Kerala but I think the below temples are the most visited in Kerala. I wouldn't know deep about the reasons on why they are popular.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sabarimala
(This one is famous for the seasonal pilgrimage)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vadakkunnathan_Temple
(350 years old, famous for the architecture)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guruvayur_Temple
(A lot of people gets married in this temple)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Padmanabhaswamy_Temple

(Now famous for the recent discovery of huge gold stash)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Padmanabhaswamy_Temple#Temple_...

To visit these temples, you would start your trip from Thrissur district all the way down south to Trivandrum district. All of the places near to the temple has got 3 star hotels for stay and all the cities are easily accessible by train except Sabarimala. Almost everyone in Kerala can satisfactorily converse in English and all routes and signs are written in English too. Kerala is a tourist friendly state.
My understanding is that AMP wants to make it impossible to write poorly-performing websites. For example, all externally fetched resources, like images, must have explicit dimensions specified in markup. This makes it possible to statically lay out the page, without blocking on any dependencies aside from the AMP library and the page markup itself. Third-party JavaScript is forbidden, etc.

Similarly, page analytics are all collected once, by a single AMP library, and then distribuetd to as many endpoints as you want, instead of each analytics endpoint having to duplicate the work of collection.

There are trade-offs. AMP is restrictive (no third-party JavaScript, limits on CSS, etc.), the AMP library itself is 200 KB (60 KB gzipped), and AMP is ultimately controlled entirely by Google, though the core team is interested in recruiting external maintainers.
Author here. Sorry about that, the site went down unexpectedly. Back up again.
Scotch Bonnets are mine - I absolutely love Jamaican food, where it's very prevalent.

Interestingly enough, they are the same species, just different local cultivars.
I'm not sure if you're serious, but modern linux does a lot of things that solaris didn't do back then. A few more points: my linux system ran "OK" with 8MB RAM in 1995, although it started to swap when I ran emacs, X11, and g++ at the same time (this was ultimately fixed by maxxing out the RAM to 32MB).

I have small Linux systems today that work comfortable with 128MB of RAM used.

What my modern linux system does that Solaris didn't do in the 90s: runs a browser than can render absurdly detailed scenes using OpenGL where the object model itself exceeds 1GB (it fits nicely on the graphics card, but the computer is also loading that from the net at gigabit speeds and storing another copy in RAM).

That said, I think it's true that modern systems just waste oodles of resources unnecessarily.
It would have been useful when that elvish knight trapped me in a corridor and all I could do was talk to him (or kiss him - ew).

If we look at the human eye, only the off-axis angle of the coming light matters. It doesn't matter if it's off-axis to the right or to the top, if the angle is the same.

This is because they will result in an identical signal at the retina, because the lens has circular symmetry and the aperture is circular too.

Why? Sure you will get some things that might initially end up looking significant but aren't, but it's not that hard to retest those things from scratch to minimize that.

In general if you're going to provide a critical comment I think it would be better for the community here to expound on it a bit so everyone can understand your argument.
Employee of a university here. Not only are the password requirements annoying, unless you close the browser you aren't logged out. Clicking "logout" makes it look logged out, but the next person to use email/payroll enters their credentials and gets the prior users account. Hilarity ensues with people applying for each other's leave, emailing responses to messages that weren't for them etc. The interim response is for people to set a theme in their email to make it more dictinctly different. I kid you not.
Not from what I know. PK Dick towards the end of his life believed himself to be living both in 1974 and as an early Christian named Thomas in the Levant sometime in the first century CE contemporaneously.
If it's in Paris, maybe the OCaml & Pharo teams can show up. Well technically Pharo is built by people worldwide, but I want to say the head guy is French.
Ah, I see. I did not realize that. Accordingly, I edited my comment to be less inflammatory. :)

I understand that by using the generic CF free cert, https terminates at CF and the connection CF->Origin is over unencrypted HTTP. Is this why there is latency overhead? Because CF cannot connect to origin via https so it cannot open a persistent tunnel? Or is it because the overhead of keeping an open https tunnel per origin server is prohibitively expensive to maintain for every free customer?

I assume that even though there is no persistent tunnel, CF still must still use persistent TCP connections?

Well, this is where people end up having no-true-Scotsman debates about what is really meant by capitalism, which is tremendously dull but sometimes necessary :) Note that most of the free market analysis work has assumptions built into it about market power and the prior distribution of resources. IP is a little weird because it's so non-substitutable; if you don't like the price of fish you can go buy some other fish, but if you don't like the price of a Phish album you may not find a substitute.

One of the main improvements of capitalism over feudalism is that contract terms usually last for at most a lifetime, and where they don't they're at least limited to a piece of real estate.

You're missing his point. Prices steadily go up as demand increases so suppliers bring on more (expensive) capacity to meet. You never get to the failure point unless demand exceeds all possible supply capacity. He just took this argument to the extreme.
In general, users do make their choice. Product designers counter by making it more difficult to leave or get content.

I'm a firmly bitter user who has stopped frequenting a lot of websites because they don't load well or don't give me what I consider to be an acceptable value prop (I'll happily turn off my adblocker if your ads are well behaved, I won't take a survey to read a one paragraph article).

But most users, and especially most non-technical users, aren't willing to take that same stance despite being very frustrated. It seems to vary between "well that's just how the internet is" to "I don't know any other sources". Having google prioritize non-terrible sources is a big boon to those non-technical users in my eyes, cemented firmly when I watch my mom or other older family members try to search the internet.

Key Takeaways from Continuous Discussions 63 – Value Stream Mapping and DevOp
Can you recommend any good tools for measuring and plotting overall system memory usage over time? I always thought it would be a fun project to try to strip down a Linux distribution and see how low I could get worst-case memory usage.
Considering the 64 bit support problem has been going on for over five years now and the magical 3GB limit is increasingly absurd on modern hardware, I wonder if they've considered just giving up on VS and doubling down on VS Code. It also sorts out their desperate need for a UI overhaul.
> "Microsoft made Windows 10 exactly the same as Mac OS, iOS or Android"
...which is precisely what a large portion of the userbase who chose Microsoft did not want.

Do you have any evidence that it's a large proportion of the user base? Windows 10 already makes up the majority of PC usage share in the USA and the UK (on Statcounter), and Microsoft says corporate adoption is at unprecedented levels for a new version of Windows. (Mostly pilots at this stage, obviously.)

More people use Window 10 than have used all versions of Mac OS going back to 1984, and in its first month, it had more users than Linux got after 20-odd years.

There are always hold-outs: I gather some people still cling to OS/2 and maybe even Amigas. There used to be a cult that said you'd have to prize XP out of their cold dead hands.

However, the fact is that Windows 10 absolutely has to work for the US Defense Department (which is already switching to Windows 10), Bank of America and practically all the S&P500, so you can be confident that it will.
Yep, no options either, and our dollar is expected to plummet below $0.63 USD over next 3 years too so making $20-25/hr USD as a senior developer if anybody foolishly moves here.
Technically speaking, it's due to the shitty experience.
Yes, we are trying to attract both OCaml and ReasonML people at this occasion.
I don't believe so. Google's AMP Cache is opportunistic with no opt-out for valid AMP pages. Further, according to the AMP Cache Guidelines at https://github.com/ampproject/amphtml/blob/master/spec/amp-c...,

> In the AMP ecosystem, the platform that links to content may freely choose which AMP Cache (if any) to use. It is an inversion of the typical model where content delivery is the responsibility of the publisher.
Reading the outage report it seemed more like piss poor planning on everyone's part. [1]

From the looks of things, even a 100MW system being instantly available wouldn't have helped prevent the outage (given the 445MW shortfall from windfarms disconnecting due to voltage drops), but it may have helped reduce the time taken to restart the network.

What about people using Gmail outside of Gsuite?
Not the same, but I still remember reverse engineering Game Genie hex codes for Battletoads to warp to different levels or get powerups.
I don't think Google has the usability of this correct. I don't like how awkard it feels to truly get to the article on the website and the URL. Having said that, I'm enjoying the speed and readability.

Is this opt-in for the publishers?

How different is this from from browser's blocking pop ups?

I prefer not to using a pop up blocker, so I experience the web like the general population. But I was so sick of publishers forcing ad clicks on mobile by effectively blocking scrolling on smaller form factor devices like my iPhone SE, that I've switched to the Brave browser.
But what's the specific issue with a question like that?

I agree that it's rare that we have to write low-level functionality like this any more (I have had to write such things, however). I argue that basic CS knowledge isn't useless and actually does matter in the long run.
For me, PolyConf is a bit like the Strange Loop of Europe, which is one of the highest compliments possible for a conference.

* It was well organized

* Had quite a range of topics on interesting topics that poked you right in the intellectual curiosity

* Had an audience that was eager to talk about esoteric ideas, but still able to bring it back to a semi-pragmatic form - rare to be able to walk those lines

* Just a lot of fun

Usually I'm quite exhausted after conferences, but I came away from Polyconf feeling energized about programming, creating (and destroying), and exploring in a way I hadn't for quite awhile - highly recommended!

1. Lots of users care. Watch any senior citizen on a mediocre PC surf the internet for twenty minutes.

2. Google did and still does. Load times were still unacceptable across the board, usually not because they had to be but often times because the people running the websites don't care enough to. Same as for HTTPS.

3. AMP is a more drastic reaction. It appears to be working.

That being said, I would like to see AMP become enacted only on sites that do actually take a long while to load. At the same time, AMP is still opt in. This isn't forced altruism, but you can play nicely or be lowered in rankings in response.

I've done the same. Actually pretty surprised how good general search results are which is fine on mobile.

I do still use google on desktop though, because it does help that google knows who I am to give me more relevant results (not that I agree that this should be how it works)
I crossed out all the non-compete clauses on the contract I signed for my last job and they were fine with it.

It's really no different than negotiating on salary or anything else - you just have to know your own value and the current job market climate. And obviously not being afraid of having a frank discussion about it - perhaps a lot of devs are non-confrontational in that way.
Really disappointed to see this flagged.
The most recent post in one of the Tumblrs linked through the article goes through some of Facebook's password allowances: http://password-shaming.tumblr.com/post/157913813567/not-ent...

Essentially, Facebook accepts 4 forms of the password as correct: 1) the correct password, 2) the caps-lock inverted version, 3) the correct password but with the first letter capitalized, and 4) the correct password + 1 character of any type. Each of #2-4 seems to be designed to prevent a failed login for the real user under common error cases, particularly when logging in on a phone.

Since each of those options can be easily stored as hashes (with #4 being done by also testing the entered password with the last character omitted against the correct password hash), the only weakness I can see this introducing is that if hashes were leaked, there's 3 valid passwords that could be found by an attacker rather than just 1, but with good hashing practices, that doesn't seem like a big deal since the search space will still be quite large.

With that in mind, that seems like a user-friendly addition that doesn't introduce any major weaknesses. Anything I'm missing that would make this a crazy scheme to have implemented?
I've seen this argument made a lot lately, and I agree Cloudflare is bad for user privacy, however, adding this warning to browsers by default wouldn't make a lot of sense. Heres why:

Most websites are on virtual servers (hardware in general) that is not owned by them. For example, Amazon could easily let the NSA look into your AWS server directly. IMO, the url lock should just be an encryption auditor. The end website is using acceptable algorithms and has a currently valid certificate? That's good enough.

Almost any HTTPS site can be forged/"broken" (unless they're using preloaded HPKP), if the attacker has root certificates (or even just a bug in a CA website), which the NSA certainty does.

Nation state adversaries just aren't really within the typical TLS threat model. I do concede that it does make agencies jobs much harder if used correctly, however.
For one thing, independent component analysis needs to process signals from as many microphones as there are sources to work properly.
In this case, though, isn't it working against those consequences that you mention? YC's contribution to a non-US company, in terms of guidance, doors opened etc., might be bigger than the money they get back through selling their share of the startups. This will be a net-negative for the US economy and would have created wealth, elevated working conditions etc. elsewhere in the world.
Yeah valid point. I should know better having moved from a metric country (except for pool temperature for some reason) to the US ;p
Yes, updates. If you memorize all the KB123456 numbers associated with telemetry you can block them or uninstall them; however again you can mitigate them in 10 as well.
OK, now I see why this is hard, thanks. Now I'm gonna spend the next few days mulling over this problem :)

I noticed the problem is relatively easy if you're dealing with a linked list instead of an array, because you can easily move elements around. If there's some way to amortize that in the array case...
The fact is, we shouldn't need AMP to refocus our efforts in favour of the user... we should be making lean and performant pages as a matter of course.

I do agree that if Google really want to do anything to help the cause, they would more heavily lower the ranking (or completely remove from their index) any sites that don't meet basic performance and readability thresholds.

AMP is clearly a play into their own walled garden.

Outside of that, I'm digging this.
Maybe part of it is coming up with a project that you consider too inherently important/interesting to experiment on. I feel like there are projects that are essentially excuses to learn a new skill, and then there are projects where you perceive a real need and simply want that product to exist.

I thought it was strange that the free network egress excluded Australia. I can understand why they might charge more for China, but Australia?

Then I found this article (written 3 years ago):

Bandwidth to Australia cost 20x that of EU or US because of Telstra :(

Good news though, Google are planning a Compute Engine zone in Sydney this year :)
Given this article is about how you can improve _your_ response times, I think the author and audience probably have the the ability to implement HTTP2.
So apparently google has decided the standards of good content. Great.

I’m getting really sick of content marketing
They might be getting confused with the person who blogged about their interview prep and ended up not getting an offer. I find it almost impossible to believe that Google would reject someone because they spent time and energy preparing for their interview process--they provide pretty detailed information about how to prepare and it's common knowledge.

Actually making it through an interview and getting an offer is much less common, for (what I'd consider) obvious reasons.

I interviewed at Google without any preparation and was not given an offer. I would have liked to have the time to prep, but I didn't, and I assumed I would not get an offer. I didn't do horribly, and I was encouraged to prep and return. I believe I'm good enough that if I prepped I'd get an offer--I simply don't have the time to jump through those particular hoops at this time, for better or worse.
You have a section entitled NO-JS, describing how you "made sure that most of the content is as much accessible to browsers and devices which don't have JavaScript enabled". You then display a screenshot with JS enabled. Your following sections are about your animations using ScrollMagic (JS), your transitions using Ajax (JS), you "manipulate the browser history using a custom JavaScript" (JS), you use lazyload (JS), and your 'CSS scrollbar' is invisible without JS enabled. All in all, you have built a website full of JS. Strange article.
yep, that part is going to be pretty important.
That sounds like a really interesting experiment. Kudos for taking a scientific approach to SEO.

A bit off-topic, but out of curiosity, have you run any other interesting experiments like this? I would love to read a blog post about them.

From what I understand, yogurt is the king of reducing the hotness of spicy peppers. It's what I understand pretty much every meal is served with in India, generally plain and not the sugary stuff we usually get here. Or maybe mixed with mango in a delicious drink :)
There are two things to measure - ability to get an offer (easy) and effectiveness on the job (hard). Triplebyte has clearly provided an improvement on the former. Seems like the latter is very difficult to measure, but I don't know why anyone would assume quantifying would negatively correlated with performance - at worst one might assume it is not correlated.
We can do all that without using AMP pages.
No, only one.

I worked on a real-time analytics product based on Snowplow, and I came to the conclusion that bounce rate is fairly meaningless metric (at least, in and of itself). When you are able to track actual engagement based on active time on page, the bounce rate becomes almost worthless as an indicator of success.

We measured "active time on page" based on how engaged the user was on the page: were they scrolling, clicking, moving the mouse on a focused page, etc. It wasn't perfect, but it was much more helpful to publishers than Google Analytics' page-level metrics.

I've actually thought a lot about exactly that: how can I be certain that anyone else actually exists? They could all, you could all, be NPCs populating my universe of one. The argument for this is that it takes far less computational power to render such an experience than it does to render that same experience for billions of people and all their complex interactions. But if it's one person than you simply render what they are currently experiencing. You don't render far off places, economies, environments, etc. Just focus on the individual.

And perhaps it's no simulation at all, but some super realistic form of VR (via brain implant?). Perhaps if the future world is a wasteland than this may be a way for future people to experience the "good old days." Or perhaps this is how education is conducted in the future: we live some number of virtual lives before getting a crack at a real one.
