Did the locals also petition the police to arrest their own children? I know what fascism is and in my opinion it is exactly what is happening in India in the current regime. Today a BJP MP has openly declared that if the BJP wins the 2019

But these are not merely nonsensical arrests otherwise unconnected to everything. Modi named PUBG as a problem in a recent public meeting. Then some local police officials decide to outlaw it, and start arresting people over it, while the c

I think 16 people being arrested for playing a banned video game is real news that deserves to be widely published. Your friends' fake Facebook contest is not quite comparable.

News18 is not a tabloid website. But just in case you're not convinced, here's the BBC reporting the same arrests: https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-india-47238545

Spotlight doesn't work great for me. I have a large number of e-books and documents in my home directory and Spotlight is likely to return the most recently added books even if they are completely irrelevant to the search terms. Result

Surely you'd agree that there is a spectrum of shoddiness (and hence required maintenance) of code? The specific example of shoddy code given in the book is that of a programmer gradually replacing a completely ineffectual algorithm wr

The book makes it explicit that it is talking about "receptionists and front-desk personnel at places that obviously don’t need them." The example provided is that of a Dutch publishing company at which the phone rang once a day,
