The main issue anywhere is the foresight and tenacity of the political (ruling) class. They have to do things which are long term by cutting back on short term and populist decisions.

That is one thing that is holding even India back. In democratic setup it is very difficult to take a long term view particularly when that comes with short term pain - the govt would be out in next election.

Africa should learn both from countries like China, Singapore and also from countries like India.

Otherwise I do agree that Africa is well placed to be the next manufacturing hub due to its cheap labor, mineral resources, coastlines etc.
> Nah, it's too politically unsafe to hire cheap in your own backyard

There's two options, hire overseas at a lower labor cost (lower currency/lower minimum wage), or lower the minimum wage or currency of your own economy. If the labour costs of the rest of the world increase as their economy develops, it will make sense to employ locally again.

So subsistence wage moves from overseas, back local again... and why pay more than the subsistence wage if there's no government to compel you to do so?

Edit: Keep in mind, the US is a western democracy, and the largest economy, but has plenty of people living on subsistence wages.

> could just as easily be a rise in extreme protectionist tariffs to discourage offshoring thereby re-widening the gap

Protectionism may not re-widen the gap. Many populations starve because all their arable land is used for overseas exports.

I think Lisp simply battles intuition for some people in a way that makes them upset until it becomes familiar. I also think Ted Lieu would have experienced this with COBOL

You can get OCaml to behave like 2, but you need eg Generalised Algebraic Datatypes or some magic with modules to do so.

See https://blog.janestreet.com/why-gadts-matter-for-performance... and https://blog.janestreet.com/more-expressive-gadt-encodings-v... for why you'd sometimes want the behaviour in 2.

(I do agree, that that behaviour is a bad default.)
I know the founder of Slicehost quite well, Jason Seats. Smart guy. Here's an old interview from these days, by none other than DHH [0].

I was at AWS in these years - I thought that Rackspace had a good chance of becoming a serious competitor in the cloud space, and Slicehost was a smart acquisition.

AWS then executed flawlessly. Rackspace, well, picked one of the worst possible strategies to chase the cloud opportunity.

Furthermore, Openstack was a giant mistake, IMHO. Execs thought that people wanted multi-cloud and private clouds. I met with literally 1,000 customers per year, and almost none of them wanted these things.

I think being aware of covering the ambient light/True Tone sensor is also significant.
in other news, suicide rate of India has sky rocketed.
These sentiments are based on a 'scientific' world average IQ score; India is at 82 while China is at 105. I think most popularly, these were used by the White supremacist, Stephen Molyneux to justify the colonization of both India and Africa; it shouldn't be surprising to see it used in other dick-measurement... ahem 'eugenics' contests.
If I get Level-5 driving, so I really care how it was achieved? In order to get Level-5 driving, the car must be able to identify a construction worker directing traffic, versus a random homeless guy, drunk, and directing traffic into to current water main construction pit. Does that require general AI? Given enough examples of drunk homeless people directing traffic into water main construction, maybe we don’t. It’ll be 100 years into the future before we’ve amassed that level of knowledge, but maybe it can happen.

Type inference in C++ (and Go) is still very limited. It only works in the 'forward' direction.

In Haskell, OCaml and eg Rust, the compiler can infer the type of a new variable depending on how you are using it later.
Maybe they don't have anti-US propaganda, like North Korea does.

Television uses publicly owned air space. The internet doesn't.
I do both in Haskell. Sometimes I write the types first and sometimes I write the function first.

Usually, the functions with more imperative flavour get their implementation first, and the more functionally flavoured bits get their type first. But that's not always the case.

Sometimes I even write the QuickCheck properties first.
My understanding is that the LED is hard-wired the power source of the camera sensor. There's no separate software command to turn the LED on. All Macs run Windows and most run Linux pretty well. So you /could/ audit at least one open source software implementation.

However, like many others have mentioned in this thread, personally I see the value in having a physical cover in addition.
yes, they would be higher than their peers at their school, but then penalized because the cohort before them performed poorly on the IB test.

For the students who would have gone on to test well on the IB test, this is clearly a disadvantage.

E.g. :
1) You are in the 10th percentile of your class.
2) Students from your school in the 10th percentile scored in the 20th percentile on the IB test last year
3) You are assigned a 20th percentile on the IB test you can not take.

This sucks if you would have done better than the 20th percentile on the IB test.

Why model an IB test score at all? just apply a weighing to the coursework grades if you want to standardize outcomes between schools. it would be more straight-forwarded.
I think that works in Rust, and they only do local inference (in the same function).
I don't like the word "allowed", as if there's some authority here, but if you want my opinion, certainly there is no obligation to agree about anything at all. However, that doesn't mean that listening from the heart is easy. Really hearing what other humans have gone through is not easy. There is a strong temptation to react with denial, because otherwise it's too painful. There is an obligation, I believe, to acknowledge what actually happened, on all sides.
@dsr_ I'd argue it is more of a clique/cluster thing - very common in the bay area. A couple of people get hired and bring 'their' people in, whether from Indiana or Iran. They have the all important inside track on information and hiring criteria and help bolster the first in's career. It's a huge HR problem (and HR are typically oblivious, more interested in hiring and firing to order)
Your timeline is a bit off, Windows NT released in 1993 had POSIX personality already.

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

Had Microsoft taken care of it like other OS vendors did with their POSIX compatibility layers, instead of using it for DoD contracts and Win32 migrations, and FOSS UNIX clones would never had mattered.

The only reason I started tinkering with Linux, was that Xenix and DG/UX were a little hard to come by for work assignments at home, and stuff like Coherent wasn't really a solution.
We've had numerous of their customers flock to us over the last six months due to a lack of customer support and evolving product changes that diverted from customer needs like the removal of scan verification.

We're a pretty solid replacement and recently hit a record 30 minute migration for one customer today. If you have any questions about the process we'd be happy to at least point you in the right direction even if it's not us (SKULabs).
People should really get retro crazy about the TI-99/4A, now hear me out..

It's generally the cheapest retro computer you can buy, and it's really weird, not some easy computer like the C64 or Atari 800:

The TI-99/4A BASIC interpreter is written in another byte-code interpreted language. This is because the BASIC ROM is not directly accessible to the CPU, you have to read it indirectly through a port. Likewise, the 16K of dedicated video RAM is also only accessible through a port. Now keep in mind this is a 16 KB computer, so your BASIC program is stored in the video RAM. It only has 256 bytes of 16-bit native RAM (unless you have the PEB...)

Now it uses a pretty good 16-bit CPU (but weird mind you- its registers are kept in external RAM), but massively crippled like this to keep the cost down, but also to prevent the home computer from competing with TI's minicomputer line. TI made millions of them.
Do you think anyone in Brazil drives for Uber by choice? The Civil Engineers and Lawyers who can't find jobs in their fields? I have a friend who got a masters in Chemical Engineering 5 years ago and to this day sells cupcakes for a living.

Does that preference not work for you?
> it is (in some sense) arbitrary that X^Y means Y -> X or its size (cardinal exponentiation)

Are you referring to the notation? I don’t think notation is what’s being contested.

> in analysis may mean exp(y log x)

Doesn’t work with a base of 0.

> We accept that for natural X,Y except (0,0)

Why “except”?

> that does not imply that they should agree at (0,0), because the definitions are simply not the same.

The definition of exponentiation of reals typically starts with exponentiation of naturals as a given (see Baby Rudin).

> The usual way to transport a definition from a discrete domain to a continuous one is a technique called analytic continuation. I am curious if there is an analytic continuation of the discrete X^Y which contains 0^0=1

Analytic continuation refers to something else, but I get what you’re trying to say.

The answer is simple: Real exponentiation is an extension of natural exponentiation. Hence, it should have the same value as the latter wherever the latter is defined.

Yes, I’ve read that SE question before. It’s good that you brought it up. I recommend reading the comments under the accepted answer and the other answers as well.
Randomness and chaos.
It seems that there are dough kalduny but when I'd been to Belarus I never seen those and people just called dough dumplings either "pelmeni" (with meat) or "varenniki" with other fillings. Kalduny were potato shells with meat filling (similar to Irish boxty).
Browsers can’t write, only read. So you would need another way to get client input into the db if that is the requirement.
Not to nitpick, but wouldn’t Etherium Be the right cryptocurrency? I try to ignore it, but I remember that that’s the “smart contracts” one, so it could make the job contracts in such a way that if they are completed, payment is automatic or something?
Hahaha.

My $5k MBP is rocking a 1 cent square cm of black electrical tape which isn't going anywhere. If it leaves adhesive residue, I'll wipe it off with alcohol and replace the tape. My camera is only for stupid zoom meetings, and if I ruin it I get to tell my colleagues my camera is broken. That's a feature, not a bug.
>India is just about as democratic as Putins Russia

This is first time hearing it.

However flawed the elected officials are in India, they do represent the popular sentiments of the population at that time.
If you believe in private ownership of property, then it should extend from an apple to a $100 billion corporation. Someone owns it, they own it. I’ve yet to hear a cogent argument that logically explains the line below which private property is fine, and above which owning something is immoral, other than some fuzzy “it feels like $50mil is too much”. I want to know logically the exact metric where some amount of wealth crosses into evil world.

So if you agree private ownership is not the devil, then nothing stops a private group from acquiring a majority stake in a company and running it the way they see fit. And if what they want to do is to fire everyone skilled and run it into the ground - so what? If the need is still there, a new company will arise. If they were too bloated, then cost cutting is good. And if they just middle along doing poorly, then they can’t spin it back out to the public markets and earn a huge pay day (unless the public markets are irrationally exuberant from free money printed by the government, but this is a 2020 phenomena).
The emulator locks up if you type "DOS" and press enter. How odd.
That's available with VSCode and rust-analyzer too (but I suspect others that piggyback on rust-analyzer got that ability). It can get noisy fast, but you can toggle hints for when you need them
Caste system can find its roots in Hindu texts, although just like other religious texts it is possible to defend it interpretation. For example, Shambuka's story [1]. In any case, the only credible interpretation will be to see the implementation in practice.

Caste system is modern day slavery or worse, and unless you're Indian (and especially unless you're from a caste lower down the hierarchy) it's difficult to comprehend. It's woven into the social fabric - even people's names carry their caste so it's often possible to discriminate or favor immediately on introduction. People usually do not marry castes lower in the hierarchy, so this is perpetuated over generations. It's changing, but not fast enough.

For those who are unfamiliar:

- Untouchability still exists in a big way in India. Even today, many Brahmins don't touch (or share meals, space etc) with Shudras. Yeah, not kidding.

- Caste based discrimination at the work place is rampant. Which is a big reason why there are fewer lower castes in the org hierarchy.

- Violence against lower castes happen every day.

- The situation continues to be so bad that there exist elaborate laws to make sure you don't get insulted or harmed over caste. [2]

- Caste is (nearly always) assigned at birth.

Finally, I don't wanna get into Godwin's law territory. But Indians should refrain from arguing about the merits of the caste system, in the same way nobody ever says "but Nazism isn't all bad."

Several cards give defender, eg Guard Duty. You could also turn it into a Sliver and play Dormant Sliver. A few of the cards that dealt with cards being walls were errata'd that way, too.

As far as turning to stone directly, I don't recall anything, but indirectly? Xathrid Gorgon gives a petrification counter that grants defender.

The twitter account has a few more usable ones, but those are all simpler. tl;dr: the simpler the card that it makes is, the more likely it is to be useful.
It's funny, because I'd argue that the belief that "the universe is a Turing machine" is a kind of secular religion. Hardcore physicalists often betray themselves as not only being bad materialists but actually just idealists in denial.
lol... nice try apple... nice try...
> India lacks both cheap "skilled" labour and mineral resources. They do have low and unskilled labour in high numbers though

Skills do not develop in a vacuum. You need to have requirements for a particular skill before you can spend resources to train workers in those skills.

And the lack of large resources is also not that big of a problem. Unlike some countries, India tends to start and maintain friendly relations with countries that have mineral wealth like Australia, etc. And the Indian navy has enough heft to open and secure those supply lines in case someone decides to start a war.

> Also India is just about as democratic as Putins Russia.

Um, no. India has democratic elections whose results are accepted by all the political parties involved. No political party has mounted an actual challenge against any result or vote count or claimed large scale election rigging.

You might not like Modi. That's acceptable. But to go around claiming that democracy does not exist because your favorite lost the elections is frankly disingenuous.
Any scheme reducing total payout based on other income sources suffers from the same flaw, and it's really just a question of magnitude as a function of income level. I'm not entirely certain that's a bad thing (you'd want a real economist for those kinds of questions), but the impact on incentives is unavoidable.

If you don't reduce total payout based on other income sources, you're describing UBI (or perhaps paying people extra when they earn money, though at first blush that alternative sounds fraud-prone and unstable).
I'm confused. Was it about the Indian's background, or your father's background?
Kind of, except with caste the "racial" categories have repeatedly both smoothed out and discretized over the millenia, though always with a with a hierarchy. It's a far more complicated system of discrimination and social ordering than the traditional black/white dichotomy of American discrimination.
Security and OS stability comes to mind.

In an time where we are finally migrating to better isolated architectures on mainstream OSes, having a full OS running as a driver isn't that appealing.
It depends on what theory you believe about why a university degree is valuable. If you see it as a competitive signal of how many people a candidate was better than, then the signal is contaminated.
Czech sweet dumplings, when made properly, are reasonably good substitute for dental glue. If I remember correctly we called them "hairy dumplings".
Very well, perhaps now you have been enlightened you would care to address my point?
I don't have any hard stats, but I'm going to try to talk about my experiences. I took a programming class in highschool - it was almost all boys at the time. This resembles my programming classes in college, and the professional environments I've worked in. Crucially, none of us back in highschool had ever even heard of Lena when we signed up for the class, and I doubt very many of the girls who decided not to take it had heard of Lena either.

It feels to me like there's some deeper reason for the gender disparity in tech than Lena. I don't have any issue with changing the picture whatsoever - I'm sure we can find some other picture to use as a baseline (big buck bunny?). But I would be willing to bet that it will do precisely nothing to change the fact that there aren't very many women in CS.

I can think of many other factors that seem more plausible to me. Me and my friends were into minecraft - at the time, you installed minecraft mods by overwriting files inside the minecraft.jar. If you wanted to set up a minecraft sever, you were given some command-line program to run and you had to set up port-forwarding in your router. Just doing this stuff makes you more comfortable with computers, and makes the jump to "I want to start programming" seem much smaller than someone who has never stepped outside Chrome and MS Office. And PC gaming is much more popular among young men than young women, so this avenue of becoming comfortable with the computer is going to be much more accessible to men. Not to mention, if you like games, eventually you'll want to make one - I think every PC gamer has at least thought about installing Unreal and trying to make their dreams into reality. I think if we actually want to increase how many women are in CS (and nothing would make me happier), this is the kind of stuff we should be thinking about, not whether image processing programmers use a picture of an attractive woman with bare shoulders too often.
To build on peer replies: the leading dark matter theories from a particle physics perspective imply "particles which do not feel electromagnetism." This ought not to be weird! After all, some particles do not feel the strong force (leptons) and others do not feel the weak force (right-handed); why should every particle feel EM?

It feels weird because almost everything we see is EM in nature: chemistry, electricity, light, life itself! But there is no a priori reason to demand that everything in the universe interacts through EM. There ought to be some stuff that does not. And if it were to exist, it would be like a ghost: particles which could not shed energy through emitting photons.

And the cosmological perspective is that "there's a lot of this stuff, huge amounts" and why not?
How so? From TFA, I get that all of the relevant parties are from India.
Yes, it's not completely clear whether they'll have the political stomach to actually go through with letting the leases lapse at the end of their life.

It would probably have been better to use Land Value Taxes instead of relying on limited leases.
It's not at all highly correlated, and skin color certainly wouldn't trump real caste affiliation.
Well, that's just taxing people through inflation.
GGP was talking about iOS devices specifically, and I showed how they are worse for privacy than their alternatives due to long-standing and long-complained-about practices by Apple. Do you disagree? You have not given any reason why anybody should.

As far as ad prices, you are citing a report from 2019. Since then, Safari ITP has been thoroughly compromised to the point where it leaks more information when it's on than when it's off. Meanwhile, Chrome supports uBlock Origin, just like Firefox (and unlike Safari).

What do you mean, become autocratic/centralized/...or whatever other word you want to choose. That's a quick one way ticket to getting invaded and thrown out by the US government.
Additionally, there's north/south discrimination, with greater antipathy from southern Indians against northern Indians.
