The situation is not as bad as the western media makes it out to be.

The number of cases per ten thousand is still way far behind the US, EU and the rest of the world.

In sheer numbers, India will always have large figures.
While laudable, what happens when people don't want to fit to your quotas because they'd rather do something else? Do you then enforce this by decree? How does that benefit anything beyond an ideology?

This looks great, thanks for posting. Have you another other books like this you'd recommend?
I think we mostly agree.

About FP and immutability specifically:

You don't have to go full on and re-write everything in Haskell. Small scale decisions can already make your life easier without much disruption. Eg if you are using Python, by default stick your information in frozen dataclasses, and only deviate from that with good reason.

Another thing I have a minor passion for is to as much as possible handle corner cases in the main line of the code.

Eg instead of having a big 'if' at the start of your function to handle an empty list and return early, try to make sure that the main logic can deal with empty lists just fine.

After all, the simpler your control flow, the easier it is to get code coverage in tests and production.

(I mention `and production', because in practice, lots of code is battle-hardened instead of sufficiently tested.)
That's one of the problems with Accenture and consultancy companies as a whole; they will build it, but they will never own or run it. The team(s) assigned to a project will learn just about enough about the domain to be able to fulfill the contract, but they won't be around ten years later to see how it panned out (if they're around three years later that's already an achievement).

Source: I used to work for a consultancy company. Might do so again, the work is more diverse and the pay and perks are much better than 'regular' companies.
What exactly was unscientific ways?

Also, the second wave is always more deadly than the first.

When total lockdown was imposed, the entire western media decried it all, and due to political pressure, the lockdown was removed...

Hence the consequence.
I wholeheartedly agree, but before humans set aside our childish “my rocket is bigger than yours” thing, humankind will need to stop being childish.
> despite how the overwhelming number of introverts on HackerNews paint it as the objectively the best way going forward for all companies.

Hacker news is no more pro work from home then people IRL I see.

And division among people I know in person is not introvert/extrovert at all. It is more about living arrangement and family. Single people living alone want to go to work. Those who have family and expect their partners to do all childcare, prefer to go to work and socialize with colleagues after work. Those who have kids and want to be present fathers or have partners with equally important work want to work from home.

> Unfortunately, this is, in fact, the second time I have discovered this exact vulnerability. The first time, the issue was reported and fixed, but after finding it again, I can see that simply reporting the issue was a mistake.

I feel uncomfortable with this. The author already reported a vulnerability, it was fixed, but now there's a new one (which is identical, ok, but new nevertheless), so he decided they didn't study their lesson, and punish them with public shaming? I'd maybe get it if the first time was ignored, but like this? Nah ah.

It's like my worse teachers coming back to hunt me as an adult.
China launches main part of its first permanent space station
It honestly sounds like a lot of busywork and pretending to be busy.

I was once in a bi-weekly sprint demo meeting (whole department). The team of consultants that were actually relocated to my country from India to keep a closer eye on them (iirc it was Infosys?) showed their work, and... it was a powerpoint presentation with a single slide with a single bullet point saying they think they found the source of a bug and will work on it next sprint.

Juan García Castillejo wrote in 1944 'La telegrafía rápida: el triteclado y la música eléctrica' (Fast telegraphy, trikeyboard, and electric music). You can read the gist of it at https://nathanjohnthompson.wordpress.com/2014/07/09/la-teleg...

Most Americans I know in the same age group as me grew up thinking Communism is a political model, not an economic one, and to conflate democracy with capitalism. And to think only the extremes can exist.

We don’t need to look further than China to see clearly capitalism works a lot better without a democracy holding it back.
That would involve attracting good developers though. Few companies manage to do that, especially if the job involves integrating ERP systems.
It's fascinating how the farmer by products from an industry, see it causes terrible problems, and then by more products from the same industry to solve the problem it caused in the first place.

At that point, it reads like Stockholm syndrome.
Telegram is one of the few messengers that actually enables you to use any Telegram client available, or write your own[1].

The protocol that is de facto Telegram is called MProto[2], and is publicly available.

edit: The main difference between email and Telegram, is that anyone can host email servers, while Telegram manages theirs.

edit2: MProto being widely available to study, one could perhaps reverse-engineer their own server - but that hasn't been a desire to accomplish this from what I can see. Much of the value-proposal of Telegram is their Service as a whole.

>monkey brain

That is the issue, we need to kick down the "monkey brain" leaders. We need better education, we need better collaboration. Tribalism is stupid and wrong. I lve in a village, as an child I was told a lot of idiotic things like"people from X are Y..." and when I left for university and meet people from X I seen that they are not different then us, and I seen people from my region acting like idiots making me feel shame.

Monkey brain is a problem, as a politician, CEO or sociophat you can exploit it on your advantage but as the whole humanity we need to admit is bad, is history and we are not wild beasts anymore, we need to have better expectation for ourselves.
A working text content filter that doesn't randomly flag seemingly innocent input is something I wouldn't expect to see within my lifetime.
right, that's why there is no need for all the elaborate schemes proposed by the shameful Bloomberg "Big Hack" conspiracy. Doing so would be a) stupid and b) cost a bomb.

Funny how this turned around - until very recently low-precision (<32 bit floats) arithmetic was intentionally limited on consumer cards - iirc FP16 rate was limited to 1/100th or something crazy like that.

So I take it you support the Uighur genocide in China, the Maduro regime in Venezuela, the current covid crisis in India, the humanitarian crisis in Yemen, and the persecution of the Rohingya in Myanmar? Or are you doing something to actively fight against them?
I think it boils down to lacking in writing. I used to watch shows that had a lot of political statements made through their worldbuilding and character interactions. These were good stories because to find a political message there you had to think about it and draw parallels yourself. More modern shows tent to just outright mention current political movements IRL or just straight up lecture people by characters doing speeches. It's very distracting because it clearly breaks away from the flow of the show. Even if the lecture is something I 100% on board with it may feel even worse because it feels like the show insults my intelligence.
Above I said:

> Meaning that, Yes, you do have the right of free speach, but No, you should not be saying the wrong things.

I wonder if this is not a good argument to actually make all kind of advertising illegal.

There is no way that ensuring huge entities with enormous capital are able sustain their dominant position thanks to flushing cash at ads is healthy.

It seems it's all gain for them, no gain for us.

Only in anti-intellectual circles could an anti-political movement take off. Anyone with even a shred of intellect understands how important politics is for everyday life and that being anti-political means "I will have to accept what others decide for me without any recourse."

Politics may be an uncomfortable topic, but it's still a very important one.

Is Apple Abusing Its App Store Dominance? Check Out the Latest News
> working with a monitor instead of a real person

Pre and post pandemic I'm still communicating with coworkers via email and slack, on the monitor. No difference at all.

Well, one difference is I used be able to hear them munch on their snacks a couple cubicles over, but I can do without that part.

Also, erasing the two hour commute, total win.
In Russia, Apple is fined $12 million for its monopolist legislation. According to Reuters, it’s found that they are allegedly abusing the dominance of the app store. A MoneyControl report says that FAS (the federal antimonopoly service) stated that the giant’s Apple distribution of apps gave a high competitive advantage through the IOS operating system.
Case in point: Reddit has a /u/backtickbot, whose whole job is finding comments containing code blocks that don't render properly in old.reddit.com and alternate Reddit clients, and responding with a (link to) fixed code block.

How about something like, ask their opinion on a contentious technical issue (like dynamic vs static typing). Then, after they've finished answering, ask them to argue sincerely for the opposite viewpoint, and see if they can. A common trait among cancel culture types is they're unwilling to hear/consider the perspectives of people who disagree with them, so they wouldn't be able to fairly present the opposing argument.

Another thing is to make it explicit company policy that people's non-work activities cannnot in any way affect their performance evaluation at work, to disincentivise cancel cuture behaviour. I think in some European countries this is even part of labor law (so a company can't e.g. fire a worker for hearing he went out drinking heavily on the weekend).

Weren’t the first viral vector vaccines (for Ebola virus) only recently approved?

As to track record, the first viral vector vaccines in widespread use (i.e. the COVID vaccines) will have killed hundreds (possibly even thousands) of people via blood clots. That’s a worthwhile trade off for a disease as deadly as COVID. But it would be less acceptable against less dangerous diseases, particularly if safer vaccine technologies are available.

LVT turns an asset into a liability. The fact that they can afford it isn't the point. They won't want to afford it if it's a liability unless they live in it or can rent it out.

Meanwhile city coffers fill up with cash that can be used to build social housing.

The only downside to LVT on non primary residences is the epic political fight it would require against the super rich.

>>How surprising, I wonder why.

It's surprising to you that someone did not fulfil a request from a random person on the internet who has been rude and angry toward them, while mischaractering their statements, to post their argument in another forum?

I even gave you a reason why it would be pointless, and yet you insist on making this passive aggressive accusation.

>>Facts? It was a blatantly fact-free reply with your subjective "takes";

I made an argument based on objective facts. If you'd like to discuss my argument, or whether the claims it is premised on are factually correct, we could do that, but your tone and attitude suggest you cannot entertain the possibility that my argument could be right, and that instead you'll just provide more caustic and sarcastic quips.

I think you completely misunderstand the post you are replying to. It's not just the leaders, it is everyone. Even me, even you. There are heaps and heaps of research papers showing that this affects every single human and that the more you think you are immune from it, the bigger its impact on you.

It would. A civilisation of intelligent ants would be unstoppable. But there is (currently) no way to make monkey-people cooperate at scale.

If you have a suggestion for a better more descriptive title, perhaps you could share it so that it could be improved.

I remember helping a friend on a uni project we were writing in C. Of course, a C compiler very rarely output an actual error, just a bunch of warnings. My friend saw the warnings, figured "they're not errors, so they're ok to ignore for now" and kept scrolling to find their code flat out didn't work. When I pointed out the warning were actually errors and we went through and fixed them all, it magically started working.

I think debugging is a hard-won skill that comes from fixing your own mistakes and having the patience to trawl though logs for hints.

Or have a tiebreaker. It would be testing something slightly different (more endurance) than what they'd train for, but there would likely be an easier call the second time, statistically if nothing else.

Actually, it would be nice if you left politics out of HN, too. In theory you could talk about politics and policy in a way that's conducive to intellectual interest and curiosity, but I've literally never seen this happen here with any consistency.

The political threads are always littered with knee-jerk hot takes that just don't belong here from an intellectual POV. To be very clear about what I'm saying, this is not about ideology; I've seen this behavior come from all parts of the political spectrum, and I find it even more annoying when "my" preferred side is doing it.

They say racism is something that happens between groups, so you are racist by definition if you're white. This makes huge assumptions - that individuals are nothing more than members of the group, that only groups matter, that white people are a single homogeneous group, and that young people bear the guilt of their parents and grandparents. There is no nuance here, it doesn't matter if you're hard working or not if you're white because they can explain away your accomplishments as privilege. Anti-racism at its finest, using reverse polarity racism to fix racism. How could that backfire? It's like going to war for peace or fucking for virginity.

In other words, that Nintendo's primary focus for how it delivers its flagship experiences was on the Switch, and they had no concrete plans to change that! What was the author thinking?

Most of us understand that we can ignore religious differences and that is idiotic to kill the others because their religion differs in less then 1%, so from my point of view we can't use the excuse that we always were and we always be the same wild beasts, we can push against this, educate people, and shame the racists,nationalists and extremists.
