How do you deal with incompatible data types between the source and destination systems ? For example, the source might have a timestamp with timezone data type and the destination could just support timestamp in UTC.

Big fan of csvsql here. I use it often to look at log files.

BlueJ was part of the recommended curriculum for Std 8th and 9th (I think) in some Indian schools circa 2005. My school wasn't in the same system. I had to learn PASCAL for the time my friends in other school systems had BlueJ in their

I renewed my Indian passport 8000 miles away in California. The process took me around 10 days, no physical visits necessary. Honestly, I am quite impressed at the Indian passport services these days , both in the country and abroad.

Detour - The README says that the frontend of Barfi (Also, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barfi ) is made using BaklavaJS. This is so adorable!

If you find yourself in the SF Bay Area, do visit https://www.moffettfieldmuseum.org/ . Their docents are actual air force veterans with tons of stories. They are so happy to chat. I had a great experience.

The British schooling the world about human rights abuses is so cute.

Is this just for the German market?

Of course, I would. :) IMHO everything other than British English is a regional derivative. The software world has caught up to that fact and soon the popular language tests will follow. They would need to do the needful eventually. Lol.

Right. I'm counting on that to happen. This should force the hands of the Indian firms to innovate or perish. That should be very interesting to watch.

I want to point out your claim about 'majority of English speakers'. The number of English speakers in the Indian subcontinent is much higher than anywhere else in the world, including US. Source : https://en.wikipedia.

If you scroll through the speech and language settings on your phone, you'll find 'English (India)`. Perhaps give it a shot :)

I guess that is the reason why there is interest in outsourcing to Eastern Europe. Case in point being EPAM Systems. Indian IT consultancies might have huge operations but they are not the only show in town.

I'm pleasantly surprised to see Auroville on the front page of HN. This brings back memories from 2 decades ago. Cheers!

On a lighter note, this would have made a great name for a kitchen spices subscription. 20g garam masala delivered to your doorstep every week. Lol.

Perhaps this is a side effect of subscribing to unhealthy number of true crime podcasts and listening to police radio.

I think there are couple of assumptions that I want to point out. Having more than sufficient supply of food translates to having reliable supply chain of food. With increased globalization, supply chains have become more specialized. This

Please explain the reason why you think they have it backwards. Does the "first world" survive on not-crops?

I went to school in the 90-00s. We started off with log-table sheets at our high school. I bought a Casio FX-991ms at some point of time in the university. I still love that machine. It has moved along with me across thousands of miles. It
