This is extremely disheartening to hear. I don't think Big Basket should have sent the Cease & Desist letter. It seems they have trademarked 'BigBasket' and not 'Basket' (which obviously can not be trademarked). Additionally I also think what the precedents are, for instance did Flipkart actually send C&D letters to lenskart, lendingkart, etc.
Please send me private message and I will provide a BigBasket's board members email id and phone number. Good luck to this case and to your new venture :)

P.S Although I think that you should not have chosen the suffix 'basket'. You have gone through extreme lengths to make sure the UI, apps look different. But in general word plagiarism is frowned upon (but it doesn't warrant a C&D definitely). It could have been on the lines of 'letsdaily.in, or letsdailyorder.com', etc

There is also an attempt to Abrahamise Hinduism by the left and the educated elite/judiciary. To defend itself in an unfair battle field, Hinduism is taking on the shape of a monoculture.

Generalizations like “choose boring technology” are just unhelpful slogans.

Truth is you should choose technology given consideration of its pros and cons, not on the basis of some slogan.

There are very good reasons to use mature technologies and very good reasons to use current technologies and very good reasons to use absolute cutting edge technologies.

When someone comes at your approach wielding a slogan, be skeptical.

Ah, the "just move" argument
Yeah, I was responding to this:

But higher-paying jobs are all salaried rather than hourly, which seems to indicate that society has already decided pretty low on the scale that more valuable jobs and work has less and less of a correlation with your hours worked.

A quick google gets me this:

While 40 hours of work per week is considered full-time, the average salaried employee does not often exceed 45-50 hours per week. This is because, according to Upcounsel, “If a job requires 55-60 (or more) hours to perform, many would consider it a poorly-designed job.” Even then, The Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that almost 10 million American employees in all industries work 60 or more hours per week.

I don't think so, because we're using earnings precisely to assess if the observed increase in value is justified. Stocks without dividends are not a problem, because businesses always have earnings regardless of whether they distribute dividends or not.
I know someone who knew his prof was doing some weird shit. He came up with a story and took the summer off from working in the lab, and went and worked for another influential prof.

Covid. There have been significantly fewer flights than usual over the last year.

The argument is that pilots and ground crew are less busy, with bigger gaps between work, the result being that they are "rusty" for want of a better word, and so more prone to making mistakes/oversights. This seems plausible, but hard to know.

Java will never catch up to Scala though. If Scala 3 has all the power of previous Scala but a lower barrier to entry then it could take market share from Java.

I say that mostly out of optimism I suppose. Scala is awesome.
Correct but with an optimistic projection of working for 5-10 more years, I could stop working forever, unless I want to work for fun / enjoyment (or say no to crappy jobs) and then move to the EU.

If I move to the EU now and take a hit in income, that will become impossible.
> Jiras standard workflow is literraly Todo-In progress-Done and you can transition from any state to any state

There may be predefined transitions between all the predefined states. But as soon as you add a new state you do not get any transitions to/from it except those you explicitly define. Any custom step that you define will not be undoable unless you explicitly define a way to undo it, and Jira will give you no help at all in ensuring that your undo transition actually undoes.

> Don't blame the tool. You said you needed an axe to chop wood to stay warm. Is it the axe's fault if you go kill your neighbor with it?

If the axe keeps slipping in people's hands and they keep chopping off their fingers, that's a problem with the axe. Even if there's one guy who doesn't have that problem and thinks everyone else must've been holding it wrong, it's still a badly designed axe.

> We use Jira and we have none of the problems you describe. We also have it integrated with a bunch of other tools we use and it gives us a really good overview of where we are at with things, looking up the Why behind a code change etc.

Who maintains your Jira workflows, and what's the process for making changes to them? I guarantee you're doing something unusual, because like I said, I've seen Jira in five or six companies and it was bad in all of them. (Blind guess: at your company the people who are actually using it are empowered to make changes to the workflows, which is very much not the default and not what Jira's permissioning system guides you towards).
Most of those things were largely too tiny to count as much more than practice runs for building actual space stations - in that list, the majority were less than 1/30th the size of the ISS - did you see the column on the side listing the cubic feet of space in them? 100m^3 is a ~4.5m box.

So yes, we've put 11 space stations in orbit: only if you count a one-room flying can as a space station. I think we have a few more practice steps to go before we start hollowing out asteroids as GP was suggesting we do next.
Put yourself in the shoes of the team who was asked to fix this. They probably have a dozen feature requests, two dozen support tickets, and now this guy wants this bug fixed because it does t follow a standard and he had a hard time understanding it. Yes, that is a real issue, and in the ideal world it would be fixed along with every other issue on the list, but in the real world it is unlikely to ever be important enough to deprioritize the other important issues I imagine this team faces. At the end of the day, some bugs are just better to live with.

I'm not at this point yet, but reading this makes me wonder why any employer would ever prefer younger employees with nothing tying them down, for any reasons other than the fact that we cost less. Sure, you'll save money on salary, but odds are that we're going to move on within a year or two if you're not a top-paying company. Even then, there's no guarantee.

Meanwhile, someone who has dependents and a mortgage has more to lose and less leverage.
It also doesn't measure resources. The median wealth is the assets at disposal for the average citizen. eg. if they sold their homes, cars etc. Australia has 3x the wealth which isn't bizzarre. It's new and hard to grasp for a lot of people since this has only happened since 2008. But the USA has fallen. It's fallen a lot. The typical US citizen is far far poorer than people from many other countries. This is an objective fact. It's also obvious to anyone who see's the USA in its current state. Things are bad. They need to change.
Coming from node world, global dependencies like in java and python are a total deal breaker.

In node same library in two different versions can coexist in different parts of the dependency tree and that's totally fine (there are some small exceptions). You give up some space but the gains are incredible.

In contrast, in Java I've got runtime errors because a library down the tree was importing some other library with the same package name.

> I doubt that everyone is being as deligent as you.

Agreed.

> I suspect leaving security updates to upstream is not a recipe for secure distributions.

Agreed - but neither is leaving it to a balkanized downstream. Debian's getting picked on in another thread: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26207965 .

The recipe for secure software is people doing the work, force-multiplied by cooperation and tooling. Safe languages, sane APIs, tests, CI, code reviews, audits, static analysis, dependency tooling, ease of forking when upstream is abandoned or unresponsible, easy build setups, good cross-platform support... the list goes on.

To hack on the average abandoned Rust codebase, "git clone ..." + "cargo build" alone probably just works, and I can start making, testing, and upstreaming incremental improvements one out-of-date or similarly abandoned dependency, bugfix, or feature branch at a time.

To hack on the average abandoned C codebase, I probably need new build rules and an undocumented list of extra build tools unique to this project (many of which almost certainly lack official windows binaries), and I'm probably left with a completely broken build that I can't even test my new build rules against - due to the unpinned versions causing multiple dependencies to be several major versions full of breaking changes out of sync with what the code expected. If I can be bothered to fix the build, the resulting megacommit will make any reviewer's eyes glaze over.

You can guess which of the two I'll bother trying to patch.
> I'm not exactly sure what you mean by this. The Free Software Definition does not allow this. If code is contributed to 0AD under the GPL, they could not combine it with proprietary graphics.

> The GNU Free System Distribution guidelines allows for the inclusion of game art that is under a license that does not permit modification. However any such art must be redistributable for commercial and noncommercial purposes at no charge.

The free software definition only really applies to software, not art. There is nothing that would be in conflict for having a free game engine paired with proprietary artwork. There even exists plenty of examples of such; most prominently, the Doom and Quake games.

> This violates the spirit of free software.

The spirit of free software is not "free stuff", but rather the freedom to run and modify programs. A free engine paired with proprietary art doesn't violate anything.

> I think they want the game to be free.

This is the main thing and the primary factor in all of the conversation. While the 0 AD authors _could_ make a proprietary-art game and maybe make a profit doing so, their intention is clearly to have free (as in freedom) artwork as well as to have the game spread as wide as possible. There is nothing wrong with this, just as there would be nothing wrong with making a commercial game. It is a choice and one that can be taken admirably.

The short of it, there probably isn't a business model to speak of. While it does appear there exists a corporation (Wildfire Games) to cover legal concerns, it's doubtful they're doing it for profit.

The First CSS Report About CSS File Sizes and File Count
I don’t think what you’re saying jives with the reality of what happened in Texas. The price of electric and natural gas skyrocketed during the shortage. A company that winterized their equipment stood to make a killing. And yet, despite the massive profit incentives, large swaths of Texas were blacked out due to lack of preparation. Besides that, the economic damage of the outages far outweigh how much winterization would have cost. The power companies are unlikely to bear the burden of that. All together, that’s not a good recipe for a pure free market system.

People also find the idea that only the rich can afford to have heat so that the pipes in their walls don’t burst distasteful.
Going back to your comment, I feel like I missed this part, or at least did not address it:

>Write better tests, clean-up the interfaces, you can even try to use formal methods to ensure correctness etc.

> there is no reason why each transition in the workflow couldn't simply have a corresponding counter-transition

There isn't, but you have to manually maintain them, and inevitably they get out of sync.

> But the same thing will happen with any other tool... and if the tool would not allow such abuse, then the management would not allow the tool.

Bad management insists on tools that let them manage badly, of which Jira is the prime example. It's not a bad tool in the sense of being badly coded, and on some level I can't blame Atlassian for making a tool that micromanagers love - I'm sure there's a huge market for that. But precisely because it's designed to give bad managers what they want first and foremost, it's a red flag in a working environment.

> Nothing. It means nothing.

It means that as time passes by, the things that need to be done accumulate and hence the pain of doing them. You don't need evidence for that. Its a common sense.

Otherwise, give one example when waiting for action (and in absence of divine/external intervention) makes it easier. Via this logic we can deduce that there must exist 100% self-fixing entities. I am not aware of any such thing. Many entities have some autocorrection (including us) but up to a certain point and usually (only?) when life is involved.

CPU performance is a funny argument for a router as the hardware reqs on a home router are already so low. My current router is gigabit, has best in class WiFi, is smaller than a mac mini and is fanless.

I got to say though: PF, multiple vlans, cross vlan firewall roules, mdns repeating do not sound like something a home user should be setting up. The only reason one would play with these things in a home environment is because they want to. Which is fine... but makes it a toy/pet project and not something to recommend to others. My home router is Ubiquiti and it "just works" zero fiddling required. I'm not sure why one would want anything more complex for a home environment.

I guess we all have different preferences where we like to spend our time. I fiddled with things for decades, now I only want to fiddle for something really worth it.
Oh yes, some (many?) employers do prefer those with more to loose.

Immigration rules tie right into this as well (of course).
It's rather sad that you can guess from the title that this is probably about academia. I have to say though that I can't confirm any of this for my institutions, professors, and fields of research.

How many people are going to volunteer to consume potentially dangerous substances for free?

Facebook (and Twitter) consider themselves more important than what they actually are. Maybe they are relevant for people that are heavily invested in their online accounts and followers, but for most people they are just a distraction. It is very easy to replace that minimal use case with something else.
The story is sad.

In both academia and corporate I've known many who find it difficult to stand up for themselves. It is already a difficult and yet courageous act to express a different view to your professor, boss, employer, etc. Things are never the same if speaking out. There are those who simply just do what is told. Simply Leave. Or fall through a deep hole when there is imbalance when taking on an action that is against what you stand up for.
Why not? You can still live on top of a landfill. Is it better that we live on top of some ecologically inactive rocks instead?
There are exceptions to the rule (for reference see https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiple_citizenship). Generally, a lot depends on whether you acquired citizenship by descent or birth, or acquired it by naturalization. Also, there are agreements between countries that you must consider.

For example, had Croatia not entered the EU a couple of years ago, it would not have been possible most likely to aquire citizenship for our children without giving up German citizenship. That is because Germany permits multiple citizenship only if you obtained another citizenship by birth and/or the other citizenship is either one of an EU member country or Swiss citizenship. Some with Croatia, which generally allows citizens by descent to have multiple citizenship, but foreigners wanting to naturalize there must renounce their old citizenship (with exceptions, of course). Switzerland on the other hand has no such rules regarding multiple citizenship.

It's difficult to not inform the countries of your multiple citizenship unless you don't apply for passports. With each passport renewal you must also state your other citizenships if applicable.

Anecdote: Shortly after the first child was born, we wanted to visit our relatives in the US. Our child only had a German passport, which we thought would be OK to travel with (because, why not?). Well, as it turned out, once we arrived at US immigration, we were in big trouble. Because our child was automatically a US citizen by descent, she was also required to have a US passport to travel from abroad to the US. This is because formally the US does not acknowledge any of your other citizenships as long as you are US citizen.
My condolences to the family & friends.

Having read this article it made me sad. On a good note, ACM seems to have reacted in a proper way. Glad to see this.
This student must have been very very alone and suffered immensely to take this decision. Sadly, I have witnessed this exact same thing at a very well known university in Germany. With great effort this was kept away from the public and blamed on the PhD student himself ('This guy had _other_ problems'). Even though he left a letter, which was also very explicit about his situation. This left me thinking, how often this actually happens but receives no publicity...

I believe most people, who enter the world of academe have good principles and ideals. In German pedagogy this is called "Humboldtsches Bildungsideal" which translates unfortunately into this [1]. Humboldt's model was very much based on many ideas of the enlightenment, esp. concerning one's pursuit of intellectual growth for its own sake and the world citizen.

Unfortunately the economic grip on the world of academe in many fields gets stronger and at one point in time ones sees these ideals destroyed.

It's best witnessed with what happened to the internet. Wonder how many can remember how it 'felt' in the beginning after CERN opened it to the world... and now, look at it.
