Unlike the two-party democracy of US, India has a multitude of political parties holding power at the state level. Many of these parties (AAP, TMC, DMK, etc) whip BJP's arse in state elections. There are talks of a third party AAP gain

The Indian people want the government to have total control over the internet. You feel that's horrible? Sure, that's your right. But the moral universalism of the anglophone cultural sphere has long alienated a majority of Indian

I don't know about the New York Post. Maybe it is guilty of publishing false and dishonest reporting. But I would also point out that a lot of people here on HN (in past discussions) and elsewhere have noted that the New York Times and

Not really. Reddit also has similar issues of being forced to choose a "governing" subreddit. If you end up participating in subreddits that discuss political topics the mods of subreddit A will ban you for even participating in s

Disadvantaged communities seem to be improving their status as far as I can see. https://theprint.in/opinion/education-levels-of-sc-st-obc-ri... That BJP only works for the upper caste is inaccurate. Like every politic

Is this your lived experience? I am finding it hard to believe when the Prime Minister of India comes under what is classified as a "Backward" caste there. The President of India, Droupadi Murmu comes from a historically disadvant

More than worse, for me it has been practically useless. We have no way to configure objective rules to ensure random emails are not wrongly marked as important. The whole thing is left to the mercy of whatever unconfigurable heuristic&#x2F

A lot of people will surely have strong opinions on topics like this. And if true, then those strong opinions and voices are needed. But I don't think Hacker News is the right place for this since there is not even a single bit of tech

I've seen a lot of resentment towards tech workers in tech-hubs for bringing up the cost of living. They're blamed for bringing up the prices with to their outsized spending power allowing them to push up the prices beyond what lo

Tek fog is essentially automated trolling used to target political opponents. The previous articles by TheWire on this were of better quality and didn't seem to stretch facts to push a narrative. They have given no evidence that only

The fact that creating a worker requires you to pass a module (file) name makes them extremely unergonomic to use. This is clearly visible in the lack of any library ecosystem around them. We don't have any highly used threadpool or e

As a cyclist, the shortest bit of advice I can give to anyone not accustomed to busy Indian roads would be to assume that everyone around you are actively looking to murder you. At best, you are an ant that they may step on by mistake.

But you are not the average case. Firefox users on mobile are the exception and are very few in number. For most people the internet, Google and Chrome are one and the same.

I feel the article misses how Firefox's inability to get a foothold on the mobile platform contributed to its decline. There are more people today using web browsers via mobile then desktop. In many poorer countries the first and only

I wonder if this a reaction to Microsoft gaining developer mindshare through VSCode, Github codespaces and other integrations around VSCode? It could also have been a response to requests for better remote development support due to the WFH

No. T | E should only accept T or E. If their underlying type is int32 then int32 will not be accepted. If we want to accept underlying types then we would need ~T | ~E. Either way this doesn't help since typesets cannot be used as nor

Yeah, they seem very similar on the surface level. Though loom doesn't have support for preempting green threads that are blocking the scheduler like go does, I think.

Anyone know if this preview JEP would make it into Java 18? We've been hearing out openjdk's project loom for a while, but we haven't gotten to try this out in Java mainline. I am guessing this will take at least two previews

I am a bit uncomfortable with how people air dirty laundry when leaving something behind. It just feels like unnecessary drama that doesn't reflect well on both the person leaving and what they are leaving behind. Maybe it is because I

I am a layman with regards to JVM internals. Are there any differences in the targeted workloads or capabilities between ZGC and Shenandoah GC? Both seem to be marketed for large heaps and low pause times.

I have never used golang but from my reading of the type parameters proposal, it also includes an approximation of "Sum types". You can define an interface with a closed set of types type Number interface { float64, int64, ... } N

The issue is probably touchy. It may not be possible to share "objective" facts with the public. This unfortunately makes it harder to differentiate it from FUD or another instance of open source drama. The thread starts with a (v

I had so much hope when I saw "cross-platform", finally a youtube downloader my parents can use on their 8 year old laptops. But alas, it's just electron. I guess they'll continue to use Newpipe on their phones, which ha
