Power matters more than money I believe. Considerable number of people are tempered on road (correlates with education background and kind of jobs they do). So if they think they can harass you, they probably will. You may be rich, but if y

I'm mainly lived in Delhi, and haven't been any other big city. Although it is common in smaller towns/cities to not wear seat belts, but in Delhi you definitely do, and there is fairly good chance you will get caught.

I'm from a middle class family in Delhi, and we never had (or could have) afforded a driver full time. Maybe now, my father can, but it is still expensive and not worth it. Most middle class families don't have a driver IMO. Much

Also, if a crash does happen, it is by default fault of the person driving bigger vehicle. Particularly, between car and motercycle. To some extent, I felt it also goes with who is driving more expensive car when it happens between cars.

In theory yes, probably that's the intention. Several other companies claim the same. Interviewers are nice and everything, however this whole process is flawed, and the post nowhere depicts the reality. Practically, interviewers more

Just to add, there is also some kind of bias against Lispy languages because it looks different. People I meet who know about Racket (or other lisp dialects) just hate the "parens" or the prefix notation. Personally, I felt the s

I'm 27, and learned this over over years, but still I needed to hear this again! And I'm sure I will need this advice again. Bookmarked :)

I feel the same way. I also tend to forget which macro inserts argument at front and which one at back. I tend to use threading[1] package for macros which does what you are proposing: [1] https://docs.racket-lang.org/thread

How does do handle memory management? If I'm not mistaken, in webassembly programs use a fixed buffer to access memory, which means you need some runtime support to manage that, or apply some kind of technique like this[1]. [1] http:&

India had hot summers, but the point this article is trying to make is that it is getting hotter, to an extent it may become unbearable. I hope you are not debating global warming and climate change. Mango juice or any traditional/non-

Just wondering how is engineering stack at Twitter now? Is it still bandaging things like everyone is talking about here (in Rails days) or they have matured to good engineering practices. Interested, as I was considering applying for engin

No you are not the only one. I've had performance problem with GNOME on my Dell XPS 13 for a while. Initially it was mostly sluggish animations. After couple of years, with regular updates, my fan is continuously spinning and it visibl

Yes I know. I'm not talking about JVM specifically, but extensible languages. I'm a Racket programmer myself, which has much more powerful macro system. I didn't make my point clear. What I was trying to say was these languag

IIRC Steele talks about languages which are extensible by users not just compiler writers. Although, JVM allows you to have multiple language implementation on top of JVM, it still doesn't make it easy to extend a language the way lets

So when they say, it generates a big switch statement, do they generate this big switch statement for whole program or for individual functions which takes enough context to continue at at point where it yielded?

Thanks. I found the interface kind of hard to navigate on my 24" screen too. Mainly the the location of the "Menu" is hardest to figure out. The link to source tree is there. If anyone else is wondering, here's the direc

Just to add there are students too. I was an international student until last year and made less than $20k in Boston. I had 8 GB of RAM, it wasn't plenty, but it was just enough. I definitely would not have preferred to use Atom then,

It seems like what HopJS does to handle tail calls[1]. It is essentially a trampoline if I understood the docs correctly. [1] https://pdfs.semanticscholar.org/d10d/aba5df8b4c563b62fd01a3...

Last time I did that, my CPU was always spinning and the rendering looked blurry and non-crisp. Now I just prefer to reduce my emacs and terminal font size, and keep Chrome in one display forever.

In terms of reducing traffic, these shared three-wheelers, to pick-up/drop-off more rides, stop just about anywhere. At-least, that was the case in Noida and Greater Noida (cities right next to Delhi). Around certain regions, they were

Right. Not great example. What I wanted to say was deconstructor is all about creating new bindings with nicer syntax. You could just do that by calling getters / accessing fields, but you have to write more when you doing that.

Tuple in C# is a class IIRC. Without destructor, you will have to pull out individual members separately. For example for a tuple of form <Int, Int, Int>, you will do something like `var r = c.getFirst(); var g = c.getSecond();`. With
