India doesn't feature in the table in their article. It is not represented in their sources, the World Mortality Database[0], or the Human Mortality Database[1]. Yet they somehow estimated that India had 2.3 million excess deaths. Base

This is really cool. A bit verbose for my taste, but OTOH it could be easier to remember than markdown or html. For example, I often forget the syntax for links in markdown - do the square brackets and parentheses come around the text and l

Sure, I'm not saying FB is not guilty. But one of the so-called "fake news" spread against the Rohingyas was specifically this - that they committed ethnic cleansing against others in Rakhine. Turns out it was not fake at all

The Rohingyas are hardly innocent and have conducted massacres and ethnic cleansing themselves[1]. How about they sue themselves first? 1. https://www.amnesty.org/en/latest/news/2018/05/myanmar-new-e

Many of the jobs allow remote anywhere in the world. I'd applied at a couple of places and got a positive response, though I couldn't follow through all the way for various reasons.

If you're in India then Instahyre is pretty good. If you're OK with remote jobs then check out the job board at WWR ( https://weworkremotely.com/ )

No. I used to use tmux extensively when I was doing a lot of remote shell work, but I don't do that any more. For local work I'd still use tmux if there was no other option, but kitty spoiled me :-).

I used to use kitty, but its CPU usage was on the higher side on my laptop. I tried alacritty but the lack of tabs (after using kitty for a long time) was a deal-breaker. I'm currently using Wezterm[1], another rust-based terminal, whi

From the documentation it seems to me that they're mostly concerned about resource utilization when processing APIs, and not dealing with files. 635KB may be representative of a large API payload in their environment.

Sedgewick's Algorithms [1] is pretty good. I found it way more approachable than CLRS. There's also a free course on Coursera[2] from him. 1. https://www.amazon.com/Algorithms-4th-Robert-Sedgewick/dp/03..

+1 for this. I have last year's edition - it's fast and cool enough for the games I play (though admittedly I don't play too many graphics-heavy ones) and lightweight (1.6Kg) enough to lug around wherever you want.

I'm aware that Databricks is a PaaS service, but what Databricks runs under the hood is Spark (with a few proprietary extensions). So your jobs/queries do require some tuning just like with OS Spark. Spark has had SQL engines (Spa

Performance is only one part of the story. The major advantage Snowflake (and to some extent Presto/Trino) brings to the table is it's pretty much plug and play. Spark OTOH usually requires a lot of tweaking to work reliably for y

According to this book[1] war rockets were used in India at least as early as the 14th century, and mughal emperor Akbar used metal-headed ones in the 16th. So it would seem neither rockets nor metal ones were invented by Tipu. However it d

From reading the article it seems to me that you could just wrap any Rails method (say a DB read) in an Async block to make it run asynchronously.
