I have observed vastly different opinion of git among people for whom git was the first vs, and people who were using svn or cvs before. The former is mostly fond of git, and the latter highly critical, mostly I assume because the concepts

macOS Finder. It is hard to fathom how bad a file explorer could be if you have used only windows and linux file explorers. Finder is astonishingly bad. Default search is global, it means searching while you are in a folder will search acro

Does Disney have any good comedy series?

House of cards also had the benefit of having a 2 time Oscar winner on the cast.

Amazon does have breakout shows. They have won the last 2 emmy for best actress in a comedy TV series.

I think it might have been canned due to revenue implications more than employee revolt. Google doesn't want to end up in a situation where dragonfly doesn't earn much money, causes constant headache from the Chinese government, a

China wasn't always an economic competitor though, just that their economy has grown at a large rate for a long time to become almost as large as the US.

Social anger changes in response to black swan events. Islamophobia was rampant after 9/11. People were angry on Russia after the Crimea incident. People are angry on China due to Hong Kong , their treatment of uyighurs, and their grow

Apple earns a lot of money from China, so difficult for them to do something which irritates the Chinese government. Google behaves the same way, even though they have no income from China right now, but I think they are secretly hopefully

I think you missed the main point, replicated economically. Given unlimited budget, I think simulating the human brain might be possible if one could use a powerful enough computer for evey neuron.

The difference is, people in stone age had no idea what nuclear fission means. They might have believed you, albeit superstitiously, if you told them that there will be food everywhere one day. Interestingly, the examples you cite seem to b

I think the main difference is that far too many people eat sugar, and even more importantly, far too many people can proudly admit in public that they eat sugar.

In the long term things are hard to predict. If we look from 2010, E2E encryption wasn't there, or atleast not in a form usable by the masses. E2E is now here, and is as easy as using Signal. However, you see countries making laws agai

Unless 95% of kids can get a VPN, I doubt how kids can find a workaround for SNI based blocks.

by enitihas 6y ago
I don't think people making these laws care of 1-5 % people using a workaround. If 95% people are blocked, I think they are good.

It won't help alone without encrypted SNI.

by enitihas 6y ago
How does foreign cloud provider matters. As of now encrypted SNI is not there, so they can block simply based on SNI. If SNI info is not correct, they can ask the foreign cloud provider to block the website. Any cloud provider where SNI blo

Publications of scores doesn't happen any more, atleast for the exams similar to the gaokao, which would be the JEE. It happened only for localised exams AFAIK, where almost all applicants were local, and the pool was small enough to b

I completed the second interpreter in the craftinginterpreters book in rust. One thing I noticed was all the places the author was explicitly keeping track of lifetimes, I could do it via the rust compiler. For example, there is a function

I think this is a very good start. The iOS ecosystem is a lot more monopolistic compared to android. And before someone says iOS is not a majority of the market, it easily is in several countries. In iOS, you can't even make your own b

You can't be serious when comparing BigQuery to DynamoDB. BigQuery is an OLAP database, you can't use it for OLTP workloads. And BigQuery has no equivalents to DAX(very low read latencies), Global Tables(millisecond access to data

GoLand extract methods very well, and I don't remember refactoring names ever being a problem. It works far far better than vscode go ever worked.

Not an American, but seeing the current divide in the US makes me curious. What would happen if Trump wins again in 2020?
