I agree with some points but most of the problems described in the article are not limited to India. People need coaching/training for things they don't know about, parents have expectations, don't want to see their children failed and want to guide(or control, given the chance), people prefer easy ways to survive. Sure, culture makes difference but not everything is unique. It's just the magnitude of visibility due to population.

About quality content, well, have you checked out all github projects? In thousands of YouTube videos being uploaded daily, you can easily find "quality" content by searching it in native language. If mind blowing local newspapers articles are not your thing, you can still find a lot depending how you search through the noise.

FX trading is at least 24/5, there may be venues trading on the weekend but I expect spreads are very wide. CME is open 23/5 already. EUREX has extended their trading hours into the Asia shift in the past few years, I think 20/5. Many other European and Asian derivatives exchanges have extended trading hours over the past decade.

Most equity exchanges are only open or liquid during local business hours. US markets are open longer, but generally illiquid and there are fewer protections outside of "market" hours.

I think for equities, nobody wants to be a market maker 24/7 without a sufficiently wide spread to protect them from news events such as the death of an executive. So even with 24/7 markets you'd probably see very poor conditions outside of core hours. With derivatives, there's more interest in never sleeping. The world is a very interconnected place and less hinges upon a single person's death.

> They allow over 300k immigrants a year and the biggest requirements are to not be too old and fluent in English (or French).

To add to this, another requirement is that you can prove you will be able to support yourself financially. With $2k/month USD of passive income (being equal to ~$2660 CAD as of this writing, or several hundred dollars more than full-time ON minimum wage) that might be considered 'enough,' and in the right location could absolutely be livable on without supplementary income.

You're absolutely bang-on with your second point though. Working with a lot of new Canadians in my line of work you can really tell who put in the effort of researching their destination country, and those who just wanted to get out of wherever they were. I actually have a really fun anecdote about this, I was training a guy who had recently moved here from Congo, early-40's and just an all-around great person. He was telling me how much research he did on various countries before he even considered moving, and found that not only would Canada be the best chance of a shot, but because he found our way of life more appealing than anywhere else. And he really meant it. I even asked why he didn't move to Quebec, as a native French-speaker, he told me he strongly considered it but wanted to learn English more than he wanted to immediately 'fit-in,' and even mentioned that with broken English he hasn't once had a problem fitting in or dealing with racism. He knew right from the beginning there would be a huge culture shock, but he mentioned that keeping an open mind and "standing back, to watch the flow of things, get a feel of how people handle the day-to-day" really helped orient himself in the first few weeks here. I still see him maybe once a week and we chat on the phone every here and there; he's helping me brush up on my French and always gives me little tidbits of what life was like "back in Congo," (he doesn't even call it home anymore, a direct quote; "Since I moved to Canada, I have been accepted with loving and open arms; this is my home now. I have no interest in going back.") while I help him out with the odd English word or phrase.

So you are using a lower accuracy model and also a stripped down version of it. It might work for your domain but can't be generalizable.

Correct, young leaves are BIG carbohydrate sinks until they have expanded and begun to produce their own photosynthate. Pruning off new growth allows the plant to redirect carbohydrates into existing organs.

There are a few leaves around the grape cluster that supply sugar to the cluster. The rest of the leaves do not contribute to the growth of the cluster.
That's easier said than done, since I think Nix has a somewhat steep learning curve.

However, what I'm missing in most comments here is that - if I'm not mistaken - Flatpak and most others are essentially tailored towards distributing binaries, which is at least my personal gripe with them.

The reason is that especially with Nix I'm used to ad-hoc `.override`/`.overrideAttrs` and patch software in ways I'd like them to behave rather than being degraded to being the sole user of a software not supposed to be modified.

Flatpak, Snap and even Docker go the opposite route, which essentially degrades FOSS to essentially proprietary software, if even upstream would just point you towards "just use the Flatpak"™.

Others here also have suggested that it would be a good way to only distribute proprietary software, but as a Nix user who's packaging and patching (well, and reverse engineering) proprietary software I'd even disagree on that, because patching the environment and the entire dependency graph is something very useful which you'll lose with Flatpak/Snap.
Without knowing where you're from, or where you intend to move to, I don't know if my experience will be helpful to your situation. Your country of origin, in particular, will play a huge role in how easy it'll be to migrate to your country of choice.

I grew up in Malaysia, and is now living and working in Australia. My journey was a typical one - I studied at an Australian university, lucked out and got sponsored for a job here, and I leveraged that to obtain permanent residency.

Australia has a lenient skilled-independent visa (the 189 visa), which doesn't require nomination, but does require certification. You can check online if you're qualified for it: https://immi.homeaffairs.gov.au/visas/getting-a-visa/visa-li...

If there's one piece of advice I can offer, it is to get proper certificates, preferably from an institution in your preferred country. Immigration departments look favourably on that.
More than lat/long and UTM coordinates, there are many unique coordinate systems that are sometimes used for quite small jurisdictions. For example, EPSG:7595 is valid Chippewa County, Wisconsin [0].

A big gotcha with some of these systems, in addition to the datum, is the units of measure. Some are in metres while many in the US use ft.

I'm confused about the use of "in the Mercator projection" in #4:

> In the Mercator projection, the Earth - which, in reality, is an oblate spheroid - is projected as a simple cylinder. This means that "parallel" longitude lines meet at the poles, so the distance between degrees of longitude are much shorter as they get closer to the poles than they are at the equator (~111 km).

Latitude and longitude are defined on the globe, not by any particular projection, and the fact that longitude lines meet at the poles is true on the globe. A projection may or may not make them appear to be parallel. No projection is responsible for, or will change, the fact that a degree of longitude as an arc on the Earth's surface varies in length from (Earth's equatorial circumference)/360 at the equator to 0 at the poles.
I've worked on several large production systems written in C++ that use exceptions throughout. Don't assume that your personal experience is the norm across the entire industry. The Google C++ style guide is (unfortunately) popular, but it still covers the minority of C++ projects overall, and there's plenty of criticism of it around, including from large teams working on production systems.

I will also add that, from my past experience working on codebases that didn't or couldn't use exceptions (e.g. across C ABI boundary), the lack of exceptions, and people forgetting to check error codes, or propagating them improperly, was a very common source of hidden bugs.
I most probably had covid. Had most of the mild sympthoms, but was completely unique for me was the first day when I stopeed feeling hunger.

No feeling of hunger at all, but smell and taste are allright (never failed). I actually have hunger, I can feel hear the noise in my stomach after some hour of having eating very little.

But still, I still don't feel any hunger whatsoever, this was going on for the last 10 days.

At some point this morning I put a lot of salt to the food, see if somehow I'm just remembering the taste, but even if I don't look what I'm eating, some portions had salty taste.

I'm mostly recovered now, and bit weak (tried to do a little run in the garden, and I couldn't run more than a few meters without getting a cough and feeling without air), even given that I didn't had much of trouble with breathing during the maybe 4 days with 2 hours per day of low fever.

But still, the lack of hunger is the weirdest thing I ever experienced.
I've seen this mentioned in a few threads on HN and I'm curious.

There is a lot of energy that is at the source of generation which looses efficiency to getting to residential or commercial areas. This energy is wasted. In many forms of energy generation the result is pollution. Crypto mining is unique because it is the first thing that requires no infrastructure. These are heavy computational services that don't need heavy internet infrastructure as mining is not bandwidth intensive and even satellite latency is good enough to submit the hashes. Its better than other use cases because those other use cases were more expensive than throwing pollution into the atmosphere simple as that.

The entire story that crypto is “taking away” is wrong when it is giving in more cases than not because its the only economical way to mine.

This goes hand in hand with the e-waste fallacy. The hardware doesn't go obsolete if the power costs are low enough, and at the remote power source it is low enough. There is a robust trade of “obsolete” hardware from people that have higher power costs to people that have lower power costs.

Is new single purpose hardware being created for a purpose you don't respect even when confronted with new information? Yes. Is the impact overblown and oversimplified? Yes. Should you make sure the reality doesn't turn into the imagined nightmare? Yes. Remain vigilant, just have more accurate arguments so you know what to watch out for.

This is frighteningly standard across most companies with no serious planning phase for new features, and no code review process. Fact is, some developer was told to create a REST API for password resets, and to return the secret token so that the (internal to the company!) client can send the email containing that token. This developer did their job correctly.

At some point, a different developer was told to consume this endpoint, send the related email, and tell the end user (browser client) that the email was sent. This second developer is not part of the "senior services team" who designed the above API, which is perfectly valid. Instead, this is a junior developer taking on their first task at the company. "Take this password reset API endpoint, and integrate it". In addition to queuing the password reset email with the token embedded within it, they also accidentally proxy the password reset service's payload to the browser. No intermediate or senior develop reviewed this new employee's PR; if they did bother to look at it, they only checked for coding standard violations (eg. indentation), without taking the effort to understand the logic of the code.

This is actually extremely common, unfortunately. The server-side layer that directly interacts with clients (ie. browsers) is generally delegated to the most junior developers, because it's menial and uninteresting work to connect the backend services to the browser. The current senior developers spent years working on that kind of garbage already, and they'd rather work on the "more interesting/advanced" backend work. Thus, the junior developers whose skills aren't yet honed are stuck–typically unsupervised–working on the front-facing components.

Also, this routinely happens at companies which rush every feature out the door with modern "agile" practices. The sprint is almost over! Quick, deliver all features by tomorrow to keep up our velocity and avoid a sprint review with negative feedback! Just merge it and push to prod without QA on a Friday at 4pm!

If only the above was a comedy routine, rather than what it truly is: the genuine reality at a large number of companies.

> That increases the information content, from O(N) for N particles to (worst case) O(2^N).

Classical (model) molecules have infinite bits of information: Their motion parameters are "analogue", which you can think of as real numbers, or infinite precision numbers.

For a digital computer, that takes infinite bits unless you know of a constraint upon them.

You can't call that O(N). And you can't say they have mass proportional to that kind of information either, because that would be infinite mass.

The quantum molecules are in a bounded box. Individual eigenstates are constrained by quantum mechanics in a box into bound states, which are countably enumerable as integers. If you have an upper bound on the energy of the entire box contents, there's a maximum integer required, therefore finite bits to encode an eigenstate.

The coefficients associated to each eigenstate in the general wavefunction are complex (and therefore infinite bits), while subject to various constraints, but they are unobservable. Observations select among eigenstates, each of which is represented in finite bits.

So is it infinite (like the classical model) or finite?

But observation is meaningless in the "special ball is a quantum computer" model. How much information does the "special ball" need from its environment, if it's allowed to entangle with that environment, to outsmart the quantized chaos around itself? Qubits linked to physical measurements and actions are full of paradoxes arising from the mathematics, which makes thought experiments useful. Where does the computation even take place, given that entanglement makes qubits non-local? In the special ball, or in all the balls it's entangled with, affecting them all subtly? I don't think this information question is simple enough to hand-wave as O(N) or O(2^N).

> I pay for Spotify, I get no ads. That’s the way it’s supposed to be.

And how long do you think this will last before they decide insert ads into paid subscriptions? Cable TV did it. "Full-price" games are doing it. TVs are doing it. It would be extremely naive to assume that spotify won't do it at some point.

Besides, my admittedly poorly-expressed objection is not to the ads themself but to the way people are being forced to listen to them by the company. There is no way in hell I'm supporting companies that engage in crap like this.

Don't most systems hand roll their own password reset? Using any backend tech, I mean. This isn't crypto, where hand rolling your own solution is almost always a mistake.
