I think this paints an overly rosy picture of welfare programs. It reads like what a rich person would imagine how poor people think. Taxes in India are computed in "slabs" of different rates. I believe everyone in India are allow

In Ubers case, the app works well when you travel. Not sure why LinkedIn would need that, if that is your question.

(Assuming this isn’t trolling) Yes, AFAIK, Hejlsberg did the original TS type system. He, from what I can tell, wanted to build a usable type system for JS than any theoretical soundness. He seems to have succeeded in that.

I don't want this to be about Kerala. You are right - there was a sharp decline (1047->951) in Kerala's sex ratio at birth between NFHS-5 and NFHS-4 [1]. The overall sex ratio of Kerala is still high at 1049 [2], but the le

Both J&K and HP have < 950 sex ratios - possibly due to selective abortions. This will also affect the ability for men to find brides.

CA, one can argue, is existence proof that those fears are not beneficial to the society in the aggregate. But my point was something else - what people say, and what they mean are different. Employers roll eyes at the mention of non-disclo

Non-Disclosure agreements exist. Employers can prevent an ex-employee from harming them with those. Yet, they insist on non-competes. It is amusing to ask oneself why. I think it is because that employers don’t think that non-disclosures wo

Your argument, if I understand it correctly, is that the constraints can be implemented in the application layer more efficiently - either in dev time or CPU time - than it can be in the DB layer. Why is that so, and under what circumstance

+1. When I started in the industry, it was common for more experienced developers to drill the “data outlives the application that generated it” principle into you. Somewhere in the transition to NoSQL and back we lost this.

But you pay the cost in checking it in the application, as GP said. If so, it simply is moving the cost from db to application layer. Is there a reason the checks can be implemented more efficiently in the application than the DB can?
