It makes sense to release all data. Not for the teams, but for FIA. They could require teams to release it after some time, so that teams with smaller budgets can learn from the work done by teams with larger ones/better engineers.

That would level the playing field a bit and, I guess, limit the amount of bending the rules (even if the FIA would give amnesty on any infringements found, which it probably should do)

I am saying the tweets mentioned in the article are cherry-picked to paint this censorship in a positive light as these tweets contained false claims.

The issue at hand is that the government censored other tweets that are accurate or are statements of opinion rather than on making factual claims.

The tweets mentioned by Medianama and The Wire are are not, by any stretch of the imagination, disinformation.

They blame Modi for mismanagement and conducting super-spreader events. They draw a contrast between the government actions and rhetoric around Tablighi Jamaat (a muslim religious event with perhaps a few thousand participant that happened at the beginning of the panedmic) and the Kumbh mela (a hindu religious event with hundreds of thousands or perhaps millions of participants, happening now.) They tweet pictures of cremation grounds.

I don't consider them disinformation, and neither does Twitter (they would have been deleted otherwise.)

I would quote those tweets, but I occasionally travel to India so I do not feel safe doing that. The Wire and Medianama feel unsafe reproducing these tweets, while OP India does not - that should tell you something.

It's nothing about laws, Twitter did the same exact thing in the US (actually even worse since they did it attempting to sway election results). Twitter is a communist organization and communists love censorship. There's no way this was a difficult decision for Twitter, considering their actions here align with their actions and decisions conducted voluntarily on a daily basis.

I don't say they are all equally valid but what's the solutions here? Impose your own rights as long as you can? I guess that's an option but it leads to armed conflicts.

As for the "US superiority" argument, some argue that US is no different than North Korea, maybe US corporations should consider Nordic morales and laws when doing business in India then? After all, according to democracy index Norway is much more democratic than the US.

People stormed the Capitol a few months back and according to the polls a significant portion of the US population thinks that the elections in the USA are not fair and the sitting president is installed there by a deep state cabal. However ridiculous I find these claims, as you can see, it's not a clear cut in the US too. Twitter was even considered a part of the conspiracy.

Indians might ask, why should they be subjected to the morals of US deep state cabal?

With crap ADSL I had plenty of times where it got slow, and painfully so (1-2mbps). Now that it’s all fibre it’s been rock solid.

Masses of investment went into the fibre roll out here in New Zealand and the limiting thing now seems to be the connection to the wider world and the distances involved.

2gbps and 4gbps plans are available, but while attractive, I don’t use all my 1gbps plan and struggle to think of a home use that would. The home infrastructure required would also be significant.

Often times, you only see the final product, thinking "that can't be that hard!", only to realize that there is a ton of things that had to be done before. I, personally, like reading devlogs. It helps me staying sane over my personal projects.
I'd love to see actual numbers on this. Its not 95% - but all of our intuitions will be a bit wrong because people cluster in workplaces based on personal values. So no matter what you're like, you'll end up working with people similar to yourself.

I wouldn't be surprised if people who just program for a paycheck are the majority of employees in many offices. I know they're a tiny minority in a lot of the places I've worked at. That's not a boast or a coincidence - humans cluster in tribes based on shared values. I don't consider myself part of the same community as people who show up to work to close jira tickets and collect a paycheck.

Each of those is also using and promoting Rust now as an alternative. Security is a major driver for that as each of those has been dealing with security issues in their C++ code bases regularly. They won't stop using C++ overnight of course but they are vastly less likely to use it for new things and are actively replacing C++ components with Rust equivalents at this point as well. In Google, which developed Go for the same reason, Rust is also competing with that.

> I wonder if all the Go love here is from people who never worked in earnest with Java ? Or only worked with dynamic languages before?

This is the type of non-constructive statement I’m used to seeing on programming forums elsewhere on the Internet. The thing is, it’s just dismissive and irritating. All it says is, “I don’t understand why this thing is popular. Could it be that all of the proponents are simply inexperienced and don’t know any better?” — of course it’s possible, the same way that it’s possible that everyone who says my cooking is terrible just has bad taste and doesn’t understand good cuisine.

It could just be that your experience of Go was not very complete. There are certainly sore spots in Go. Maybe gopls was broken when you tried (I just tested and VSCode Go is faster than Goland on my machine, so I actually suspect something was wrong.) Maybe you picked use cases that it was just not very good for, or possibly you missed some of its utility in the time that you used it. There’s no way for me to know. I’m sure you have enough Java experience to see how someone fiddling with Maven, Eclipse, Spring, Hibernate, Guice... and running into problems could spoil them on the language or its ecosystem early on.

And yet, what disappoints me more is that when I saw this comment, it was the second highest on the page. Meaning the statement seems to have resonated rather than raising red flags.

I kind of get it. Go is one of the trendiest languages to hate now. I would guess it is in third behind Perl and PHP. Don’t get me wrong — many people unfairly hated Java too, but let’s face it, it hasn’t been trendy to baselessly hate Java in a long time. Especially not with how much it has changed and improved. I still don’t like that people do this. It feels like on at minimum a weekly basis I get chastised or see others get chastised for expressing our satisfaction with Go. Thankfully it is uncommon here, but in other online programming circles it is common enough.

Imagine you’re a beginner who is learning Go as a first programming language and they read your message. What message is it really sending?

Perhaps you did not mean for this to come off this way, but to me this is the language of condescension.

Your comment reads like you disagreed in some way with the parent, but then you showed a scenario and defined it in a way you can answer the important questions. Just drop the "we don't care" part and they're all good answers that can be used to model the ownership and usage.

The lack of locks in this scenario is important in itself and can be expressed in types. (It shows for example that as long as the whole process is migrated to another thread, you can have safe N:M scheduling) The process ownership of the arena can be well defined as well.

The "alternative strategy" as you described it doesn't have different questions - just different answers.
My second expectation is that I expect companies not to have "deliver maximum value to its shareholders" as its fundamental value or guiding principle (Unsure if that's what you were alluding to here). That is: I basically expect companies to leave huge amounts of (their investors') money on the table when it goes against the ethical/moral compass of a vocal minority of its users, owners, or employees.
for me personally main thing what is putting me off from Swiftlang is lack of namespaces (packages) :( all these workarounds with enums to provide some kind of namespacing look like workarounds rather than proper solutions how to organize bigger codebase.

Scala is similar, with a somewhat nicer type system (full HKT) and an even more Java-like platform.
Thanks for the reply. I've written graphics code only on more-or-less lab environments, and have read many papers mentioning screen-space algorithms which trades off accuracy for other characteristics. Maybe I'm triggered by that. lol

> "some argue that US is no different than North Korea"

I'm not sure anyone actually argues this? If they do they're not really worth your time.

This isn't "US superiority" it's about rights for individuals in a liberal society. If the US fails to meet these goals then it should do better too.

> "However ridiculous I find these claims, as you can see, it's not a clear cut in the US too. Twitter was even considered a part of the conspiracy."

It's pretty clear cut - lots of people believe insane things, that doesn't make the truth unclear.

I doubt Indians would ask that, they might ask why a western company is aiding their own government in suppressing the truth about their family and friends dying from Covid though.
Telegram doesn't have encrypted groups, though. So it's a bit of a different use case. I share your pain when syncing Signal but Telegram is no option in regard to true privacy.

> Progressives don’t like responsibility because it is complicated to balance talk of personal responsibility with that of social justice.

It's more stark than that.

If you're not personally responsible (ie. a victim), then the state assumes a larger role in controlling you. Thus Marxists (progressives) keep trying to expand the state - you can see that in Biden's policies, as he appeases his radical leftist base.

A famous story is about Stalin visiting a farm: "See that duck? Right now he's free." Then he plucks the feathers and says, "Now he depends on me for the rest of his life." That's the purest example of Marxism that I can think of.
Did you ever try Scala? It has great client-side support (likely better than TypeScript's server-side support), and the type system has the soundness of Java/C# but is flexible enough to cover all the reasonable use cases (at least once you include shapeless), as can be seen by the fact that even enterprisey Scala code doesn't have to rely on magic annotations anywhere.
I am very sincere when I call him overrated!

(citating from my answer here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26910442)

I think this one is especially highly overrated. When you read the poem of someone you willingly or unwillingly trying to read his mind and vision of the world. When I read this one I am simply disgusted. I have the feeling that he is just cold and cynical to the level that I can't stand it! And the general feeling of fakeness in his writings is to the level of realising that this human being simply doesn't understand a few concepts about this life. The same feeling you have when you are listening to some primitive music and you feel that author simply 'doesn't get it' in the first place.

I also can't help but notice some cheap/dirty tricks in his poetry when rhythm doesn't work. Even when I write some 'poetry' as a joke to entertain my friends even I manage to avoid such cheap tricks and then I think that surely some great poet must be able to do it too? Isn't it? I mean small kids when they are missing words to express their thoughts use those tricks to make some rhythm to work. In the poem 'Evgeny Onegin' I've counted a few of those and then I had to stop counting in order to somehow finish the poem.

Surely like any author he has something in his poems but I do have a feeling that this author is highly overrated.

> Modern graphics help games such as The Last of Us or Horizon Zero Down make you feel like you are part of the story, living through it along with the characters.

Except it doesn't work for me. It's in an uncanny valley of near realism, where I notice every flaws and bugs that instantly break the immersion. Same with character development: due to growing up and kind of getting more experience of humankind I find myself becoming more demanding on character and worldbuilding coherence. When huge parts are up to the imagination, suspension of disbelief works for me. I just found I can still get emotional over a few pixel Tamagotchi by reading that article. But with modern graphics, the bar is set very high for everything else to follow and be credible (it needs to be like a strong very long good movie).
While I'm getting (much) older as well, I have found that I'm much more focused when I want to learn something.

Unlike when I was 16 and essentially behaving like a sponge, I need to decide that I'm going to learn something, and actively go for it. Once I have turned the switch on, I can learn, and more efficiently than when I was younger since I have some kind of plan/target, and years of experience have taught be when I don't understand/think I know but don't and how to fix it.

In other words, I have traded raw natural learning ability for 'I'm slower but more efficient'.
Evangelion-themed tamagotchi is the weirdest thing but perhaps also a good marketing product - tho, not sure how the series holds in Japan nowadays
1 billion Indians aren't all supporters of government censorship of criticism.

If the US government enacted some ridiculous law, you would hope that US corporations would try to push back a bit, at least rhetorically, because you recognize that the state isn't its people. Why suddenly the different tone for India?
> I'm not sure it makes sense to describe people who love programming and people who just do it for a paycheck as truly being in the same field.

This is why I keep my mouth shut IRL about just wanting the paycheck. I'd imagine a lot more than a tiny minority of people are just there for the job where you've worked. We just keep our mouths shut because the passionate folks judge us paycheckers.
> You wouldn't write a web frontend in Java (not anymore), you wouldn't write your Tensorflow code in Java, nor your kernel module or device driver.

I absolutely would (well, I'd use Scala myself, but I'd absolutely use a single language for all of those). I think the article makes a good case for it.

My Interview with the Mysterious Developer Behind Many DeFi 3.0 Projects
Hi! Author here. It's true that my method can get complex very fast depending on what you want to do. I also wrote this to explain some concepts about git / docker.

If I were running more than 1 web service I would maybe take the reverse proxy out of docker-compose to manage it separately. Each service would be its own git remote.

If I had even more stuff, I would probably run containers separately and explicitly create docker networks. But yes, now I may have reached a point where a standard k3s deployment is easier. This is just a method I found useful for my use case and I believe that to just run 1 or 2 web services on a VPS it's easier to set up than k8s/k3s.

At the same time, I would argue that running a single monolithic service on a single (powerful) VPS is more than enough for more cases than people believe.

I would also like to learn more about your approach!
In places like Texas it’s mostly a solved problem, everyone either has a toll transponder on their windshield or uses Pay By Mail, which just reads your plates as you drive through the gate. No stopping, no slowing down at all. You can go through these gates at 120mph and it’ll still catch you (and won’t even write you a speeding ticket).

Paying cash isn’t even an option anymore.
I read the point of the article more in terms of "one language for everything" rather than something about Java in particular.

I think it is a fair point. Staying within a language and an eco-system of libraries, tools etec. makes sense so you can get profiency and just know how things work without too much thinking about it.

However it only holds to an extent as many languages are tied to or are native to a particular platform. I.e. JavaScript in a web browser, Java on the JVM, Java in Android, Objective-C in iOS etc. And some are definately not mature when you go outside their habitat. Try to compile Java into JavaScript (using GWT or whatever), or into a binary. You can do it however it doesn't really makes sense, so much of a language is really its libraries and way doing things. You are not going to get HSQLDB and JPA running inside a web browser for any reasonable application.
> "What can twitter do? Close the site in India? That accomplishes nothing."

Sure - if it came to that, try and get Indians access anyway via VPNs, making it easy to access over Tor, helping them get on Twitter anyway.

You can accomplish something by not sacrificing your principles. Doing the right thing matters when it's hard. Anyone can do the right thing when it's also the easy thing.

I'm not a crazed absolutist - I'm pragmatic, I just find western companies repeatedly capitulating to authoritarian countries very frustrating. People have given up their lives to fight for these things and western companies can't even risk getting kicked out?
