A bit strange to see this headline. The headline makes it seem like there is some way that the US has a bias for "upper-caste" Indians which is a bit ridiculous. Indeed, the headline should have read "Defamation case finds caste-based discrimination of Indian by fellow Indian(s)".

One way to look at the apparent disparity in numbers taking caste out of the equation :

-People motivated to be in the US apply for GRE/GMAT , pursue higher education in the US and get employed there. For socio-economic reasons, this might well be upper caste and there are things that the Indian government can do to bring in a semblance of equal opportunities

-People perform well (nothing to do with caste here) and get recognised by businesses and are sent to the US to work there. There's a chance that these are motivated by things other than talent but up to companies to make the evaluation as objective as possible.

This is why local politics is generally defanged and powerless. Ultimately you cannot make much meaningful change on the local or state level that is hostile to capitals interests. If what you do is anti-business, even if its in the interests of your actual voting residents, the knock on effects of being "undesirable" for the large companies that largely prop up a lot of economic sectors can see the economic costs equal to or even greater than the benefits given to your community.

It actually looks even worse in Europe - not only is the continent hugely economically diverse in development and in governance structure (some are much less or more corrupt and more or less democratic than others) but the free movement and free trade has functionally taken every nations economic sovereignty. Its the only point on which I can agree with Brexiteers on because the EU is much less democratic an institution than a lot of its constituent national governments are.

Ultimately final power comes down to the purse. The EU uses the Euro to control economic policy across the continent, the US Federal Reserve uses the USD to control the US economy. There is nothing you can do as any regional or local power to oppose the will of those higher institutions. Especially if you work in the peoples interests, because then you have the joint problem of attracting the poor and downtrodden because you are trying to uplift your working class while losing the favor of the capital you would depend on to generate the revenues to afford anything.

Its by design, to be fair.

I'd like to get an idea of what the pricing will be before investing in trying the beta. Is graphql on the roadmap?
Yeah. TRAMP is magical, and everything just works. And has for years and years.
> At the moment, there is no canonically useful model of the mind that is established in the consensus of those who study it.

I'd personally go with either one that shown promise, i.e. can be used to cure people and can make testable predictions. I know it's hard, this is psychology. I think a lot of theories that shown promise are computational theories of mind.

> I think you are conflating Freud's model of the mind with a couple of particulars.

I've never read a book about Freud's model without id/ego/superego or Oedipus/Elektra complex, etc.

Like, ok. He hit the mark with conscious/unconscious. What else?

> why is it that it "probably doesn't exist?" Is it because Feynman doubted it?

Because I'm neither a psychologist nor a fortune teller. I'm not aware of any modern theory really propagating id/superego/ego as some form of structure of the mind (I could be wrong here), nor am I able to say that in future we won't discover exactly three precise parts of the mind.

So no. It's not about Feynman. It's about how Freud came with his theory of the mind and the "evidence" for it.

First. He didn't look at data and then synthesized a solution. He basically said, yeah, this looks like it, lets make conscious and subconscious. Oh, and different desires. And different parts of mind. And make them three.

Second. Psychoanalysis is essentially science based on hearsay i.e. therapist reporting their view on the patient. Yeah, no way that could be biased or distorted. I'm pretty sure I cured cancer in that one guy. He had symptoms of common cold, but I definitely cured him of cancer. Yup.

That's not how you do science. Like I know psychology is hard to do, because it's not like you can debug a person (in clear conscience).

------

But Feynman is onto something. Frank Wilczek defined a beautiful theory as one you get more than you put in, or as he put it exuberance of productivity.

In lieu of that, for having all these parts and urges and egos and complexes, what does psychoanalysis do that other disciplines can't?

The organization is not required to exist forever. The nonprofit has restrictions to spend the donated resources appropriately to the goals, but once they're spent properly, that's it, there's no ongoing obligation. If a company was funded by some large pile of cash, spent half of it, and wanted to divert the other half to something else, then your argument would be valid. But if they get a stream of donations every month, spend all of it every month, and now some donors want to stop funding the old legal entity and start funding a different one, there's nothing preventing the donors from doing so.

One way to do that is to establish a new organization, transfer any deals from any partners who want to cooperate to the new organization (no obstacle since all three parties - oldcorp, newcorp and partner - agree). Buy any relevant assets including branding and such from the old one (this would need to be at a fair market value, but you likely don't need many of them), spend all the money at the old company (most likely on salaries for the employees doing whatever the goals were), liquidate the old entity and move on.

Remote has been a game changer for my development as well. Work forces me on a Windows machine with the full suite of corporate spyware.

Yeah, I actually find a lot of the grammatical rules to be pretty straightforward and generally there aren’t many weird exceptions. Distinguishing sounds is pretty easy too, unlike Mandarin for example. The levels of formality are tricky at first but you quickly adapt to it, and they also follow well defined rules. A lot of the odd pronunciations of words like you mention are generally things you can just memorize blindly. Cultural aspects and sensitivity can be very tough, but I think that’s true for any foreign culture. Time intensive? Sure, but most difficult? I don’t think so, but I think that depends on what you mean by difficult and what your goal is. If your goal is to masquerade as a pseudo-native speaker and be fully literate, then yeah, I could see it. But if it’s just to be conversant, it’s not that bad.
My use of IFTTT is things like:
* When my garage door is open (Garadget) then turn on my garage indicator light (TP Link Kasa Lightbulb). That way if I leave the garage door open on accident I have a bright red light telling me that
* When the garage door opens after dusk, turn on the driveway lights
* When the doorbell rings (Ring) and it's after dusk, turn on a group of lights (Leviton)
* When the door unlocks (August Smart Lock) turn on a group of lights (Leviton)

I'd love to self host rather than use IFTTT, but is that even possible with those other tools?

Question I have for everyone who doesn't use an IDE

What is your workflow? I find the following to be true, in that one of 3 things happens inevitably:

1. The Text Editor becomes the IDE, (e.g., with VSCode, if you just live in plain HTML, CSS/SCSS/LESS and JSX/TSX/JS/TS all day, its actually pretty great, lots of well maintained extensions and Microsoft really put their energy into capturing into this market with VS Code I think. If you have more than ~10 extensions installed, I'd argue you got an IDE (not including themes or colorizers))

2. They have extensively curated vim or emacs setups that were built over time to add IDE-like features, in some cases I'd argue they become IDEs themselves via deep customization

3. They move to an IDE

So my question is if none of the 3 are true, whats your workflow like?

For context of my own workflow, it slowly over time is all around my IDE (JetBrains user, hardcore. You'll pry it from my cold dead hands). With the exception of running scripts (sometimes, like builds) and using git (git CLI is the best git interface IMO) I have moved it 100% into my IDE, and I'm so much faster at things, including picking up new languages

When I started, I used VS Code heavily professionally, and vim before that, and relied on the CLI for anything outside of editing the code (basically, I think I had some auto formatting setup too), but I hit a wall at some point where I never turned back and went full into JetBrains to this day
Using a fruit to treat Covid taste loss
Hello HN! Synsepalum dulcificum, more commonly known as the miracle fruit, has been used for centuries by tribes in Western Africa to make their food more delicious. It contains a protein that safely and temporarily binds to your tastebuds to make sour foods taste sweet as well as enhance flavor. For instance, bite into a lemon and it will taste like lemonade. By removing unpleasant bitterness, tartness, and funk, it allows you to discover flavors that were previously masked. A strawberry tastes even more "strawberry" and a plain greek yogurt now tastes much more creamy.

I was really fascinated in the fruit when I saw the behavioral change it made on my nephew: he went from eating exclusively pasta and chicken nuggets to eating vegetables, dairy, fish, and soup. I've developed a product completely unparalleled on the market - it is 100% natural, contains no fillers, and dissolves 10x faster than the competition.

In these difficult times with the pandemic, I want to do my part and help any way I can. Miracle fruit has been used in the Miami Cancer Institute to help chemotherapy patients who have lost their taste. This condition seems very similar to the loss of taste of COVID patients so I wonder if miracle fruit can hold the key to treating their anosmia- loss of taste.

If you or someone you know has lost their taste due to COVID, please reach out to me at daniel.getman@miracle-nutrition.com - I'd love to send you a free sample to find out if this can solve some of the problems COVID patients are facing. For the rest of you who are simply interested in trying the product, please check out my website below. Feel free to ask me anything!

Thank you for your advice. The Syncfusion Community License is certainly interesting and I will keep it in mind (as well as Radzen). Though, frankly, I don't like these "lure into an ecosystem/platform/product with free goodies and then lock in to a very expensive deal" approaches. I prefer a decent progressive pricing tiers model. Re: ABP and Blazor - yes, I read about that, but I think that it is still an experimental feature: https://github.com/abpframework/abp/issues/394.

> And of course WSL2 isn't a subsystem anymore, but is stuck with the product name

Even WSL1 is not a classic Windows NT subsystem. Its implementation (picoprocesses) is quite different from that of the classic Windows NT subsystems (Win32, OS/2, POSIX/Interix/SFU/SUA). The classic Windows NT subsystems all involve using ntdll.dll to make NT syscalls; WSL1 processes make Linux syscalls and can't actually make NT syscalls or call ntdll. There is nothing technically stopping an OS/2 1.x executable from realising that it is running on NT and start talking to the NT kernel using the normal NT API; by contrast, a Linux executable running under WSL1, even if it detects it is running under WSL1, isn't allowed to talk to the normal NT kernel interfaces.
Given the terrible state of the digital ad market (programmatic FTL) for even publishers with tens of millions of uniques a month and the propensity for LJ readers to (understandably) run an ad-blocker, I’d say this is a bad idea.

This isn’t 2005 anymore or 2010 or even 2015, when you could just slap on some AdSense ads and pay some of your bills. Let’s not even talk about LJ’s ridiculous overhead of designing a PDF magazine every month instead of just having a damn website (I guarantee you the “print” ad sales did not cover the costs of putting the digital publication together, not even close).

I’m glad it at least seems like the archives will be safe but this is the third timed in three years that LJ has died and been reborn...forgive me for being cynical and not expecting much from this.

Wasn't that the theory based on results of people who lived through the 1930s US Great Depression. The lack of food actually improved life expectancy.

https://www.pnas.org/content/106/41/17290

>Population health did not decline and indeed generally improved during the 4 years of the Great Depression, 1930–1933, with mortality decreasing for almost all ages, and life expectancy increasing by several years in males, females, whites, and nonwhites. For most age groups, mortality tended to peak during years of strong economic expansion (such as 1923, 1926, 1929, and 1936–1937). In contrast, the recessions of 1921, 1930–1933, and 1938 coincided with declines in mortality and gains in life expectancy.

Gnome Gets New Versioning Scheme
I’ve been playing with this for a while - primarily as an interface for me to work in while working with my LTE iPad. It’s okay, but for most things using a mosh shell works just as well.

If you’re going this route, there’s a few things to be aware of:

1. It’s pretty sensitive to losing connections. This makes it incredibly hard to use while on a train, where either your LTE or your WiFi has unpredictable round trip times and retries are necessary.

2. Using it on an iPad with a keyboard is a little wonky. By default the iPad completion bar keeps on popping up in text editing cells on Safari, which hides the bottom of the browser window. You can turn it off, but if you do so, it turns it off for all apps. Not that big of a deal, and it’s an iPad-ism, but just an FYI.

3. Perhaps most significantly, this isn’t supposed to be able to connect to Microsoft’s extensions - that’s supposed to be reserved for official builds. Even if you could connect it, some of the most valuable extensions, like the remote development extension, won’t run properly.

It works much better from a desktop type machine or a chromebook. On my iPad I’m more likely to use vim or emacs through mosh in a terminal session, especially when I’m actually moving. Not that I’m going anywhere right now.

I didn't understand, at the time of its last major refresh which was a fair while ago now, how SourceForge could be so resource intensive — all it needed to do was show links to download files. That was it.

Instead, it was packed to the rafters with Flash ads; the layout was bloated with unnecessarily large, unoptimised graphic files; and, the most prominent button to download didn't actually do that — it would take you to a page where you could select a server to download. That's your job, SourceForge, not mine.

I think that design comes from another era. All I've seen happen to it since is cutting out some of the graphics, changing the colour scheme a little, and switching to HTML ads. It's still from another era.
Maybe true, but if you use that as a reason to harass an underlying, you will get fired if you work for me.

Fair enough. Thank you, will keep this in mind.
From my experience out of the box you get poor performance and you have to spend a lot of time figuring out how to change configuration to improve it as knowledge is scattered in many places and not always up to date. Then it still likes to stall from time to time or sometimes doesn't register key presses properly. It's a poor user experience, but even worse is that alternatives are often worse.
I wish there was an editor with low latency, smart search, some proper file system database, so it doesn't take ages to open a directory and built in VCS support, that works quicker than manually issuing commands in a terminal.

I think the success of VSCode is because you can easily open it in your current directory from the terminal and it will show you your folder etc. without having to setup a project first and that you are ready to type you code quickly after opening. If I had to open PyCharm every time I want to try some Python in a new directory, I would probably start questioning my life choices. Before VSCode I would just use nano or Sublime.
I have been studding Buddhist scriptures and I don't think this true. The following quote is from 2,500 years ago:

It means if I want to use VS Code for anything other than code editing then I’m out of luck. Where as alternatives are text editors first with code editing support.

VS Code wants to be in your way with a complete set of tools, even including a terminal. And your OS already has one of those.
