I would appreciate it very much if Python would have a standard language formatter ala `go fmt` to end the bikeshedding. I personally use black but I wouldn't mind other standards as long as I don't have to pick and choose anymore

I would hazard to say that it is an Indian cultural thing. But it seems to be a spectrum since I have read accounts that some Indians don't hire Indians who don't belong to the same caste/region/state.

I understand why FAANG does it. The problem is that other companies are just cargo culting.

Any reason why you chose Omnisphere in particular?

But surely some of those equipment(monitor, mouse, keyboard) can be brought home from the office.

Cross platform support is important to me. Sure maybe Web is clunky. But I find that being able to access applications from anywhere just trumps that concern. I moved from Bear to Notion and Sketch to Figma for that reason.

Maybe they wanted to do layoff sone employees even before this pandemic. The current situation is convenient for them to do so.

I bet a lot of ITX builders would be ecstatic if that happens.

Yes that could happen too. But physical and digital connections need not be mutually exclusive. I only argue about digital connectedness because it still needs improvement. Meeting people in person...not much can be improved there. You just

Would you say that learning Finance directly would be better?

I would say that this pandemic would argue more for better digital interconnectedness. Global access to the internet is still not great. We need better networks!
