I doubt it, I mean, what would they fight over, Junagadh? Who even cares about that? Kashmir matters because of its resources / Muslims / Hindus.

I wish Kashmir would get resolved so we could get on with our lives. Literally there would be no reason for all the hate / hate-mongering if not for Kashmir. Which co-incidentally would mean that the powers that be in those nations wou

Yup my relatively liberal Pakistani friends used to ponder that a lot... until Modi came and suddenly they were really glad for Pakistan. :)

Yupppp. But you can't let function names get too long or everyone will laugh at you for being a Java dev writing Go. Like I said, absurd.

Also getting worse for me. I upgraded from my dot to a regular gen 5 echo, but no, it's still bad.

Absolutely not reliable. Comments get stale faster than anything else in the codebase.

I mean, you can't get around database CRUDs. I'm not talking about setting a private variable and getting or setting it (that doesn't seem like idiomatic Go at all), but using the logic described above, you can't know wh

Why? Let's say I have a table full of cars and have a method > func Car(id string) Car How do I know whether it fetched that from the database or created a new one and returned that to me?

Go is absurd. It's opinionated in all the wrong ways. > Functions that return something are given noun-like names. > // Good: > func (c Config) JobName(key string) (value string, ok bool) > A corollary of this is

I actually just joined a company that uses Teams and I REALLY love it as a Zoom replacement. It's a less great IM replacement for Slack, but the outlook integration, videochat quality, recordings, transcripts, chat (within meetings) is

Pakistan is already exploding at the seams due to population growth. It's not just a matter of moving, the country doesn't have enough resources to feed and clothe its population. The growth rate isn't abating and global warm

I just want a watch that shows the time, lets me see and respond to notifications and set the occasional reminder/alarm.

Is the decision coming today or are they just hearing arguments today?

Pakistan gets around this by charging you a ridiculous (I think 40%) amount of the MRSP in tax when you first connect your phone to mobile networks. I used to buy my parents phones from the US but they have to get chinese phones with low MR

I think there's been a pretty strong upward trend, but not much compared to South Korea for sure. We had a setback in the 70s, first with the war with India and then 80s where Zia weaponized religion (with western support!) to fight th

No, it's being enforced by empowered insiders. That's the culture the British created (ie. empowered insiders in their pay/control exploiting divisions and racial hate to subjugate a populace). The British left, but those ins

I think you don't realize that when something is all you've ever known, you don't realize it's wrong. I know a lot of those immigrants who went abroad to study, swearing they'd come home to improve things, but once

100% agree with your comment. Culture makes the people and the people make the culture. My point is more that the feedback loop is something that was put in place generations ago and most people are just stuck in it. We should pity such peo

If that's your only criteria, the US must be the worst of the lot for ethnically cleansing an entire continent to claim it. I grew up in the 90s and remember the ecstatic cheering when Bangladesh won its first cricket match. The decisi

That's barely 2-3 generations vs 350 years of colonialism. Most of government and the civil service is aligned around colonial lines with heavy weightage on the top. As other commentators have pointed out, systemic poverty and a lack o

I'm Pakistani, it's not a s-hole. It's a lovely country full of lovely people who are helpless against the burden of colonial legacy, corrupt landowners and a way-too-powerful army.

Anyone else get the feeling that the information density of podcasts is just really low? I'd rather follow along a dense narrative than listen to a bunch of people chat with time wasted in pleasantries/jokes/etc.
