> The US would equally take care of such an anti-social element rapidly, because secession from the union is an act of war - in fact, India's response was damningly slow.

Are you asking if Nijjar was advocating for secession from the US, or if he was in the US instead of Canada?

If it's the latter, I think the US would've done exactly as Canada.

If you're asking what the US would've done if it was in India's shoes, you're absolutely right - it would've successfully pressured Canada into giving him up.

However, this is not a gotcha. That the US is insecure enough in it's freedom that it overreacts to "protect" it (see, the 2000's and the invasion of Iraq) is one of the reasons it is a flawed democracy. If the US had done what India has done, Canada might've cooperated, but the uproar from our citizens (and from me here), would've been identical.

According to the latest complete 2022 rankings of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freedom_in_the_World, Canada is the 5th freest country in the world. The United States is 61st. India is 87th.

According to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Economist_Democracy_Index, Canada is 12th in the world. The United States is 30th. India is 46th.

> The core reason why other Sikhs don't stand for Khalistani Sikhs is because Khalistan is in essence a theocracy in Punjab. Khalistanis want a separate nation that is firmly rooted in Sikh religious principles, something which the majority of Sikhs in India don't really want. Even in the diaspora, apart from Canada, Khalistanism is a fringe element, simply because most countries except Canada don't allow refugee status based on claims of "oppression" by an Indian government in this century (they would have had more standing in the 80s for that claim). And like others mentioned, the ones migrating to Canada are often part of the leadership of various gangs and mafias in Punjab, something that another country like the US would easily prevent from entering their soil.

See this is a fascinating paragraph. Because the whole time until the last sentence, I was nodding along, learning more about the situation, and gathering a more nuanced worldview. Then you finish it with a blanket dismissal of Sikhs in Canada as gangsters and mafios. Punjabi Organized Crime is huge in Canada. And the Punjabi diaspora in Canada is likewise large. (Almost 3% of the Canadian population).

It shows a clear bias you have against the potential for peace from any Punjabi Canadians.
That's what I would assume too, but one of the slides very specifically claims:

The native Golang wasm support isn’t bad actually. It gives you a js file with the bindings to import, then load the wasm binary that got built with the normal ‘go build’ command

Not the smallest binary, but I had good success with it. Needs a bit of glue for making it run nicely in both browser and node environment at the same time because of different imports and runtime, but outside of publishing npm packages you don’t really need that anyway

mimetic theory is an interesting lens to look through for that question. Rene Girard in particular sheds some light on this - it's quite compelling (lifted from wikipedia):

The name of the theory derives from the philosophical concept mimesis, which carries a wide range of meanings. In mimetic theory, mimesis refers to human desire, which Girard thought was not linear but the product of a mimetic process in which people imitate models who endow objects with value. Girard called this phenomenon "mimetic desire", and described mimetic desire as the foundation of his theory:

"Man is the creature who does not know what to desire, and he turns to others in order to make up his mind. We desire what others desire because we imitate their desires."

That's because that anger reflected "the extraordinary passion that our community has for their craft, their livelihoods, and their tools, including Unity," Whitten said. "When Unity disappoints them, in a way where they're overly surprised or whatever, they give very, very critical feedback. I don't love hearing every single one of those pieces of feedback—sometimes they can be pretty pointed—but I love that that passion exists."

Imagine if you went outside and found someone taking a dump in your front yard. Then when you yell at them to stop, their response is "the passion you have for your lawn is extraordinary. I love that that passion exists." This entire article is preposterous.

What set the ideas of physicists like Bohr, Born, Heisenberg and Pauli apart is that they led to the creation of quantum mechanics. The criticisms Schrödinger made in his time are worth a lot of attention as well, but nothing really since that era has come from the mere interpretation of physics. Whereas they fundamentally changed the course of physics, chemistry, engineering, etc. as sciences. The Copenhagen interpretation remains mainstream for the same reason that it had to come "first" (imo), which is simply that it is the most practicable.

In your position I suspect I'd follow a similar pattern if I had to make the choice today.

But, as a counter-point, I currently work with a stack which is both highly productive, unfashionable, and has a tiny community, writing in a language you never heard of.

We moved from custom projects to products many years ago and we are now big fish in our market space. Customers buy software and services, not source code, so the stack doesn't matter.

While there are clear and obvious issues to using "old" technology, there's also pleasure gained by having a high level of expertise in a specific area. As distinct from being yet another c# programmer in an ocean of c# programmers.

Incidentally, there's also a lot of money to be made, as others retire my incredibly specialised abilities come into demand. Much in the way that COBOL programmers made money in the 90s.

I can't really advise you to focus on niche technologies since I can't say how much of my path was pure luck. But I chose a path less travelled by, and that has made all the difference.

> Your framing is uninformed (if one were charitable, malicious if one weren't)

I deserve this call-out. I acknowledge I'm uninformed, and I am attempting to get more informed through the various discussions on this thread.

But it's VERY hard to fact-check a lot of the things being said. Some are leading with obvious bias. You are not. I'm inclined to believe more of what you have to say.

I assure you I am not malicious. I have a great respect for India, Hindus, Sikhs, Punjabs, and Canadians. I have a great disrespect for Narendra Modi and his policies. I do not support terrorism, but I also fall short of saying that non-violent resistance is the only path to liberation. History has vindicated violence as a means to achieve freedom in many contexts.

My understanding of the history of tensions within India between Sikhs and the rest of the country is painted based on broad incidents, like the assassinations of leaders, Golden Temple, etc. I gather my instincts from that.

But for modern perspectives, it is incredibly hard for me from my western bubble to get accurate impartial information or statistics. What percentage of Punjab citizens want independence? What percentage of Punjabi Canadians in the diaspora? What percentage support violence to achieve Khalistan?

I would like to learn.

Many threads have drawn comparisons to Quebec. I moved to Canada as an immigrant in 1995. I was infatuated with the country. And I was immediately confronted with the country's 2nd largest subdivision https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1995_Quebec_referendum coming inches within 0.6% of voting to leave. I was furious. I didn't understand. I spent the next decade of my youth joking to anyone who would hear that "Canada should've kicked Quebec out for the vote being so close. They would have died economically, and they would've crawled back begging."

Then I looked into the actual history of Quebec and Canada. And I understood just how much propaganda and misinformation exists in English-language Canada that mocks Quebecois uniqueness and interests.

And I decided I actually understand why so many Quebecers wanted to separate, but that I wanted them to stay because their uniqueness is vital to the Canadian spirit. I can't imagine what I would think if the history was as violent as it was with Sikhs within India.

Which is why I keep doubting the premise that these sentiments only exist in the diaspora outside of Punjab.

The strict implication is that the US has higher rates of people leaving relationships that result in children.

Perhaps:

* Marriage rates are lower, with more children out of wedlock, AND|OR

* US citizens are more prone to leave a bad relationship, whereas other places see more people staying despite a bad relationship, AND|OR

* US early relationships have a higher rate of one spouse being incarcerated than other countries, AND|OR

* { etc. ponder longer and add more reasons }

What's the deal with flagging on this site? How does it work? Are people just able to flag shit they find inconvenient whenever & that's that?

I don't think that this adds anything to the discussion.

(Besides which, it's explicitly pedagogical, and you can never overestimate the importance of having students do anything actively on their own, even if it's well understood by people with existing knowledge.

I think the "errant advice" might originate with languages like C, in which an early return is an easy way to forget crucial deinitialization code, and where "goto"s can always be used to skip to the single exit point where all the deinitialization code is. In more sane languages, deinitialization happens automatically when leaving the stack frame, so following a "one return per function" rule is not necessary.
It"s also a work thing. Discord was required for my job in 2021, so I had to join it then. It's used in a similar way to how Slack is used in some companies, though I've never worked anywhere that uses Slack.

Since then I've joined many other Discord "servers", and have it installed on my phone. I find this very useful to keep track of what's going on in some fields, though I don't have time to participate much. At least two of those servers are essential to my current research software project. I couldn't do it without the information there.

It's a great pity that public Discord channels are not generally archived on the web for search and reading, the way public mailing lists are.

> the "left" versus "right" political scale itself is uniform in all cases.

I agree. Except in every one of those definitions in impartial sources like Wikipedia, categorizes the Conservatives as "right", and PPC as "far right"

> There are no major federal parties in Canada to the "right" of that. None offer a platform that would end immigration, deport most foreigners,

So long as people who lived through World War 2 remained alive, we called people that advocated for this fascists, and they held no sway in most elections or political representation. Once the majority WW2 veterans started dying, suddenly these perspectives started rising again under a new coat of paint.

> significantly reduce the size of the federal government

It's cute that conservatives still pretend that this policy disagreement is still in any way of a signifier between left and right wing parties ANYWHERE in the world. US right wing parties, for instance, do not reduce the size of their governments. They just reassign their priorities to things like processing citizen reports of abortions, or banning books in school libraries.

> , and end taxation, for example.

Does anyone actually think this is a good idea? Are we intending to go back to the days of private firefighters not putting out on fire buildings that didn't pay them?
Giving people shit, in a friendly way, is part of the Midwestern use of irony. They like to say the opposite of what they mean when it's assumed to be understood that is the case. "You're getting here soon, right?" "Nah, I'm stopping at a spa in Gary, Indiana." Something like that.

Those who aren't used to it often don't appreciate it.
