> I'd guess lots of them living in very cramped shared living spaces

Yes, this primarily + no eating outside, no car, entertainment, no family expenses etc., To answer larger question USD-INR difference is how they make most money. Wages in India are so low that even 1/5th of US wage is near top 5-10% in India. For similar reasons lot of Indians move to Dubai and Gulf region to build a decent wealth in 4-5 years. I think India ranks near the top w.r.t. inward remittance [1], ~$125B in 2023.

Fun story; my manager at FAANG told me how it's common to open a head count in the US and close it soon citing not being able to hire and open 4-6 heads counts in India for the same budget. That should give you some idea about wage and currency disparity.

Reading the complaints about state makes me think the author has never built websites prior to things like react existing.

The examples don’t even make sense, it just sounds like someone trying to use htmx like it’s react and then getting upset cos it doesn’t work how he expect it to. Lack of experience.
so tired of the self-hating/self-loathing label when someone criticises their own nationality/ethnicity

You can't make yourself look less racist by pointing to other racist cultures (while describing with details your own racist behavior).
the switch is also a popular platform because you can take it with you, and provides a better experience than a touch phone.
I am used to this, having used all sorts of bad internet connections over the years. Too much of the internet is designed on fast computers with fast internet and excellent monitors. Some of my best work was done on a 12” MacBook with a spotty hotel WiFi. I pay very close attention to page speed.

It just means that it will take a while, like Intel, or what is happening with search and Google.
A decade ago, you could self-host though.
There are use-cases were encoding is a huge cost centre, like with user generated content, and so we wanted to make sure you could still build on Mux with that type of model. The tradeoffs for using free encoding are listed here though: https://docs.mux.com/guides/use-video-quality-levels. The free (basic) encoding still has charges for storage and delivery also. We hope that by helping you reduce costs when getting off the ground we can grow with you.

The on-demand (JIT) encoding is actual magic in how well it consistently works!

How Solid Queue works under the hood
Correct but that doesn't make cosine similarity a distance metric. It just means n this particular case arc length is your distance metric and you're using trigonometry to get it.
In one case I offered to (and actually did) convert the Word docs they sent me to the appropriate Hugo markdown with front matter and push it for them (not a huge effort, maybe 10 mins per post, I was happy to do it). It worked for a bit but they still ended up pushing for a Wordpress site.

So yeah, it's not down to technical experience required for the edit process.
Nice job dude! The app works well.
As a Linux user, I'll defend Microsoft here and say that I'd rather suspect it's a sign of Windows' prevalence than Windows' (un)safety. Around the Snowden leaks I had a different opinion but nowadays I feel like those calling the shots at Microsoft realised it's no longer an optional component or that security is merely a marketing story
There is a human side to this which I am going through right now. The first full framework I made is proving to be developer unfriendly in the long run, I put more emphasis on performance than readability (performance was the KPI we were trying to improve at the time). Now I am working with people who are new to the codebase, and I observed they were hesitant to criticize it in front of me. I had to actively start saying "lets remove <frame work name>, its outdated and bad". Eventually I found it liberating, it also helped me detach my self worth from my work, something I struggle with day to day.
I contribute to NodeGui, Qt on Nodejs. It doesn't try to emulate the C++ API by allowing subclassing. Instead it exposes most methods on QWidget classes/subclasses which process QEvent objects (and their subclasses) in the form of events which you can subscribe to as an application. You can listen to signals and also QEvent related traffic in much the same way. So, if you want to subclass a QWidget to do your own custom rendering/painting, you would create an instance of QWidget and then listen to/hook into, the incoming requests to repaint. Qt sees a normal QWidget instance, but you can customise it do act like the subclass you desire. This avoids any attempt to do a real C++ subclass at runtime. Internally, NodeGui subclasses almost every QWidget (and more) to hook into them to allow this. This works far better than you might expect and saves a ton of complexity.
All game publishers are evil corporations.

There are a number of great studios which happen to have financial ties to a given publisher. If you like these studios you have no choice but to indirectly give money to the publisher in question.

One obvious example for Nintendo is Monolith Software.
The fractal nature of it is truly remarkable. When you zoom out, you see what was essentially one people split along religious borders with India and Pakistan. Zoom in, and you see finer and finer levels of cultural discrimination.

Germany’s entire humanitarian response to the Russian invasion of Ukraine worked like this before the official authorities could catch up, a few days to a few weeks later. Notion, Telegram, WhatsApp and Google Docs saved the day. This awed me at the time and still awes me now. Quietly, we have achieved the dream of bringing computing to everyone.
Nothing about pure functional programming requires unit testing all of your functions. You can decide to unit test larger or smaller units of code, just as you can in any other paradigm.
I am seeing the flight to low cost countries now termed as "Best" cost countries is afoot in Europe. Germany has shot itself in the foot by destroying its energy sector. Now that the energy prices have shot through the roof most of the industries are going to get outsourced. The thirst for cheap labour and where the laws especially labour laws are lax is a wet dream for management.
Python has made its rise as an antithesis to Java thinking. Classes used to be seen by some in the community as an anti-pattern. [0]
The coding style used to focus on "Pythonic-ness," which meant using Python's expressiveness to write code in such a way that type information could be inferred without explicitly stating the type.

Most developers will carry their previous language paradigms into their new ones. But if types, DDD (Domain-Driven Design), and classes are what you're looking for, then Python isn't the best fit. Python doesn't have compiler features that work well with those paradigms, such as dead code removal/tree shaking.
However, starting out with dictionaries and then moving over to dataclasses is a great strategy.[1]
As a small note, it's kind of ironic that the statically typed language Go took inferred typing with their := operator, while there is now a movement in Python to write foo: str = "bar".

Vacuous comment. What action that an average person can take will have a "measurable" effect on the climate (excepting eco-terrorism)? In aggregate this kind of stuff is still meaningfull.
Trying to explain to someone how static sites work vs how WP works, and that the server has to literally recreate the entire page from a bunch of database entries (having first compiled all the PHP files into something the server understands) for every single page request. It's crazy that we ended up with this powering most of the web.
What is this for exactly? Go should be used serverside, and Qt looks like its for UIs on embedded devices?
What makes an apprentice successful is learning the rules of thumb and following them.

What makes a journeyman successful is sticking to the rules of thumb, unless directed by a master.

What makes a master successful is knowing why the rules of thumb exist, what their limits are, when to not follow them, and being able to make up new rules.
As a casual observer, their culture seems to include considerable classism; to the degree that 'where are you from?' appears to be an extremely common and loaded question [saved for the locals]. I only recognize it because it exists in mine, not a judgement.

The British slave owners received cash compensated from the government for taking their 'property'. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slave_Compensation_Act_1837 says 'The 1837 Act paid substantial amount of money constituting 40% of the Treasury’s tax receipts at the time to the former slave owners, but nothing to the liberated people.'

The British government didn't pay off that debt until 2015.

While it sounds like you think the slave owners didn't get enough short-term compensation?

And don't just sob over the slavers. If the former slaves had gotten real and effective compensation, it would have been even more an economical failure for Britain.

> re-instituting slavery - it is inefficient

Please note that there are many types of non-free labor besides chattel slavery. I consider the penal labor system in the US a legalized form of slavery, while there are many who support it.
I've seen this claim a few time across the last couple years and I have a pet theory why this isn't explored a lot:

Nvidia funds most research around LLMs, and they also fund other companies that fund other research. If transformers were to use addition and remova all usage of floating point multiplication, there's a good chance the gpu would no longer be needed, or in the least, cheaper ones would be good enough. If that were to happen, no one would need nvidia anymore and their trillion dollar empire would start to crumble.

University labs get free gpus from nvidia -> University labs don't want to do research that would make said gpus obsolete because nvidia won't like that.

If this were to be true, it would mean that we are stuck on an inificient research path due to corporate greed. Imagine if this really was the next best thing, and we just don't explore it more because the ruling corporation doesn't want to lose their market cap.

Hopefully I'm wrong.
I didn't know Maps (or Google Docs, or Translate) were acquisitions, thanks.
Conway's Gradient of Life
That's your definition of "useful", not mine. "political aversion"? We are talking about money and business here.

If a commercial company wants to ship a product without reinventing all the wheels, they are going to use code with permissive licenses, and skip projects with GPL license or similar in a heartbeat.

You could even argue quite the contrary -- when you make your project GPL/AGPL etc, and if it is big/impactful enough, people will inevitably create alternative projects with permissive licenses that tried to match the feature set, and it is you that is the cause of all this "waste of time". Not necessarily a good argument, but there is some truth there.

And thank god a lot of goodness actually comes out of it other than just reinventing the wheels. Apple "bought" LLVM due to gcc's copyleft license, and now we have a family new compilers based on LLVM for different languages and targets. Kudos to Apple.
Gag if you want to gag, but I'm not comparing anything with Bell Labs. I'm giving evidence that the claim I quoted is false.

Visual studio doesn't do that inlining. And it is a significant problem, I have had to refactor my code into multiple functions because of it.
The original wording explicitly mentions "discovery or invention within the field of physics", so that wording has been reflected in some of the prices over the years.

Also, it's a price based on a will from over 100 years ago, managed by a private institution. The institution can be as arbitrary as it wants. They don't need to answer to anyone.
Except it is a good idea.

Making everything convenient for the user has been a thorn in my industry for a long, long time, resulting in massive, complex machinery that is controlled by an HMI which amounts to "user push, machine go" and copious amounts of magic happen between those two steps.

I see the same issue as I enter software development. We treat the users like ridiculous idiots, shackling them the ignorance that come with convenience. The auto industry excels at this, selling $30,000USD products to people who can't change an oil filter or explain in basic terms how an ICE works.

I'm ranting, sorry, but what I am getting at is all this drive to make everything as convenient as possible without teaching the user anything does many bad things;

1. Denies users any enrichment, leaving them stuck making the same decisions over and over without expanding a skill.

2. Creates a Culture of Dependency, where users don't understand anything about the product they are using aside from the most basic operations, leaving them unable to pivot as things change, or troubleshoot when things inevitably break.

3. Adding to 2, when all the power is shifted to the folks who make the magic work in the product, they start doing user-hostile things with it like the copious amounts of data harvesting and privacy violations of the modern Internet, not to mention extracting their piece of the value pie to an egregious level.

As someone who is constantly learning new things to try and stay current, fights for the right to repair and uses FOSS whenever possible, I just can't get behind the thinking that brings is to the conclusion that marketers should be making these kinds of decisions based on convenience.

I bid you goodluck and farewell as I die on that downvote hill.

It's still a massively parallel problem suited to GPUs, whether it's float or int, or addition or multiplication doesn't really matter.

To say that some quality is embedded in a culture isn’t even close to the same as saying all people originating from that culture possess that quality. The extent to which India’s (racist) caste system is embedded in its culture is hardly up for serious debate, the influence it has in India has basically been proven by science at this point.

> https://arstechnica.com/science/2016/01/the-caste-system-has...

A hypothetical claim that all Indians are racist would clearly be absurd, but it’s hardly surprising to find a group of Indians practicing something that is openly part of their native culture.

It's about the (previously) Indian outsourcing firm and H-1B body shop supplying contractors to SV companies.

> he's moved on from inlining and now does pure functional programming

Neither of those are true. He does more FP ”where reasonable“, and that decreases the need for inlining. He does not do pure FP, and he still inlines.

Discrimination and biases are part of everyday life, whether we like it or not. This is an observation, not an endorsement. Ignoring them is akin to denying human nature or believing that the logical mind can fully control the entirety of our thinking. This is why there are a few academic papers that explore this often-taboo topic. I recommend reading Cultural Biases in Economic Exchange? [1] where there is a table of trust between different European countries.

Mostly, all of it. People who are not writing that kind of loop probably should not do any of this. Optimize for code clarity, which may involve either inlining or extracting depending on the situation.

Then maybe Firefox can start shipping with defaults that don’t phone home to Mozilla several times when launching and closing? Mozilla harps on this privacy angle but I see it as purely marketing.
Not just that. You can blame USB but the question is still how the malware got to run on the target system. Did the user double click on the malware? Did it try to exploit Explorer trying to preview a file? Did it modify the USB stick's firmware such that it sends commands to the computer that exploit the Windows USB storage driver? Something else?

So the interesting TLDR, to me, is this:

> [The malware on the infected computer] finds the last modified directory on the USB drive, hides it, and renames itself with the name of this directory, [...]. We also believe that the component uses a folder icon, to entice the user to [click on] it when the USB drive is inserted in an air-gapped system

So the attack vector is "using a transfer medium where data can be replaced with code and the usual procedure [in this case: opening the usual folder] will cause the code to run"

Uhm, no. This has negatively and retroactively impacted my appreciation of the award. If I were in academic CS I would have blatantly rejected it. This is ridiculous.

But staying at rest has been used as a way to sidestep taxes for so long.

I'd rather have all investments be taxed every K years as they were sold and bought back. Ideally with selling dates spread throughout the K days to avoid huge spikes.

I knew that that the <html> tag can be fully omitted (and some others, like <body> and <title> IIRC), but if I read that it can also be partially omitted. So you're allowed to open it but not close it, or close it but don't open it. That's new to me.

I've tried omitting those tags, but I decided that in the end things are easier to read when you do include them, so nowadays I always include them when I write HTML.

[so from whom did Philip, by the grace of God King of England, Spain, France, both the Sicilies, Jerusalem and Ireland, Defender of the Faith, Archduke of Austria, Duke of Burgundy, Milan and Brabant, Count of Habsburg, Flanders and Tyrol, learn that foxes' game?

Wouldn't being an assassin's target say much more about the strategy of the initial source of the assassination attempt than it would about that of the target? (a fox might assassinate anyone: fox, lion, or designori; while an insufficiently leonine designori** would assassinate a lion or more leonine designori; between designori we get into a comparative advantage game for who takes the fox and who the lion role?)

It'll take me a moment to switch out of lion mode; for the moment all I'm coming up with is that Xenophon et. al. correctly surmised they were default dead unless they could cross the chasm, err, make it to a friendly coastline.
