Please try Rogan ghosht if you have not. That recipe when done right is the perfect mutton curry ever made. This is a recipe from North India, then there's South Indian mutton curries that tastes quite good, particularly the ones in South of Tamilnadu.

I can see why that's the case for high turnover companies. It is to track and reduce money laundering and tax evasion. Also, it has become a no brainer for any consumer facing company to not provide UPI as an option.

I keep appreciating the regulations in India, it is overall supportive of the common man. From say SEBI regulations on derivative markets to digital payments. For eg. credit cards are becoming less frequent, people here won't take out their cards for every other expense. People have become aware of the fact that money at the end is in bank and spending from the bank account hits much more real than a 30 day stream of cash 3-4 times your salary handed to you whenever you need. And so, low income and middle income groups spend wisely and don't get caught in spend cycles above their capacity.

Such an angle goes unappreciated, but hopefully this continues and money still be real and in our pocket.

UPI is not mandatory in India, don't know where and why such a message circulates. If I am benefitting with Credit Cards at petrol pumps, I deliberately use it and there's no concern from anybody. Merchants prefer UPI (for now) because money goes to their bank account without any cost. And cash still works at most places where UPI does.

Or just don't use JS

I am wondering, HN can spawn a few subreddit like channels maybe with Image, Video support later. HN is the best place in internet that encourages good discussions, reddit communities can vastly benefit from the familiar UI experience, good enough backend. Maybe all the mods can write a petition to create HN communities and foster the communities here. Lemmy, kbin are all fine but come on I'll take HN any day over others. Am I missing something?

A polished UI is only what you are looking at, not what is underneath. You have failed to understand the years and years of hardwork poured by vast majority of OSS that helped building all the systems that underpin every single system out there.

Your comparison of OSS developers as tinkerers who can't reach the Megacorp scale is totally absurd. I've worked at these corporations, and out of 10 only 1 or 2 would reach a scale of a great developer. But, OSS developers innovations, contributions and impact surpasses any company out there.

Also, nobody in their right mind wants to work 80 hours a week competing with a team who's trying to better you, if you pit the developers against each other it doesn't matter how much you get paid, your time is owned by the large corp at the end of the day. Easy to undermine the work of OSS developers who go unappreciated and hail the rat racing corporations.

I second this, since it is an app an online payment makes most sense. A simple donation button with paypal/venmo (or something the locals use) would make reasonable money to cover monthly infra expenses at least.

No thanks, I get high with Javascript alone and a hangover so bad that lasts the entire weekend.

The economy was bouncing back from the housing collapse and it's massive ripple effects. The promising tech was Mobile Phones. Everybody wanted a piece, Nokia tried so much with Symbian OS, Samsung came up with Wave OS. Microsoft pushed Windows Mobile which was well liked but wasn't a commercial hit. Firefox and Ubuntu made their mobile OSes, it was a tough competition against the mountains that were Android and iOS. Not only on Software, the hardware tech was mind-bogglingly awesome as well. Nokia made folding phones with keyboard, Blackberry stuck to their game, Samsung followed Apple but later found their uniqueness, Apple is anyway Apple, Microsoft wanted Lumia series to be a big hit poured resources in it but didn't pay off that well. HTC, LG had their ups and downs. After the bad press for Huawei and Google withdrawing their support, Xiaomi and BBK that took the market by storm. Their cheap phones were an instant hit in Asia, Africa. Each pushing the hardware boundaries every so hard to stay in the market, edge to edge display, pop up selfie cameras, high refresh rates, higher megapixels, bigger lenses, 2 cameras, 3 cameras, 5 cameras, glass finishes, chips that'll give desktop computers a run for their money. It was totally wild. My first computer was an IBM PC running Windows 3.0, to many others like me 2010 blew me away is an understatement.

There was Blockchain, Cloud computing became widespread with AWS taking around 70% of the market and incumbence of multi trillion dollar companies were in the news towards the second half of 2010s.

I sure did, why you ask anyway? The article titled a clickbait but goes on about why South Korean women can't raise children and be competitive in workplace, which I assume is the situation in South Korea. Either have mutual respect and willingness to contribute to household work just like in a company with colleagues or be there to witness the fall of civilisation.

Haha. Well I agree with the reasons for difference in pay gap. My suggestion is why not make those metrics public as well, people can see for themselves if it related to working hours, output, level of risk etc.

Wow, that is impressive. Norway is surely advanced in humanities.

So, why not publicise the performance metrics of the employees as well? Not public at least accessible like what you mentioned on salary. I'm not questioning why Norway isn't doing it but in general why not?

Such access to performance can also serve as a driver in the employment industry. Along with the engineering blogs, one can display links to the portal with company attested achievements and stats, it will at least reduce false claims in LinkedIn.

Such people you define will either be a toxic manager working their way through middle management or some mean worker who's an absolute jackass to work with. Nobody wants to work with such people. Every company has them, but a respectable company will have low number of such people.

This seems like a blanket assumption that all are always low on empathy, all the time non-agreeable and always competing. A workplace would in general give a person a good sense of self worth, high esteem, willingness to agree and disagree with whole heart. One or two bad people don't make the company and definitely need not use such a low bar to define the rest.

I don't know the situation of South Korea to comment on this topic. But, with the corporate industries talking too much about transparency it seems no one has come to identifying the cause of wage gap. Why not make the salary transparent across the board and the employee performance in public (internal to company) as well? People or Management say it is complicated, but is it really?

This company Buffer appeared in HN for their transparency some while ago [https://buffer.com/salary-calculator/]

We can surely determine if the wage gap is because of sexual discrimination or just a little relaxed performance.

I didn't like dark mode since the beginning, it was too much effort on my eyes. During the day, the room is well lit, why do we need a dark mode at all. And when it is night, we probably shouldn't be working. Or at least switch on the lights, we wouldn't want a dark mode then.

You'll likely get the opposite

I agree, I'm assuming their engineering teams are the biggest in size like my company which is of a very comparable size with legal, hr, ops and business counterparts.

But coming to Twitter engineering teams, what are they doing actually? their primary technical product is tweet timelines and trends, their mobile apps are kind of okay, the user experience hasn't changed much except getting slower and slower. If all they do is rewrites, they are simply wasting the talent.

There could be SRE, Security, Datacenter admins running 24x7 but other than that, I see no useful idea out of them in a long long while. See instagram, snapchat and others for example, they've explored the unknown and brought us some quite good and plenty bad social media. Twitter at least should've been masters in content moderation by now, but they're far from it.

For an outsider they seem to have lost their way and are being a couch potato munching on the junk food.

Instantly I thought, how can they call it 'the ugliest'? it is such a bubbly and a cute plane, I would totally have it in my garage.

When you put all this in perspective, it makes sense. Electricity usage will probably tripe or quadruple and I think we can handle that.

But I'm going to miss the sweet petrol and diesel engine cars.

I welcome new Rust jobs, I myself have attempted to learn (and fail). But having it in a customer facing and a software embedded in customer's car is not what I expected.

Maybe starting in a backend service that they can monitor and deploy changes in events of outage would be an easy start. For something a scale of customer owned cars, I hope they are prepared.

I love Volvo cars. I hope they have enough investment in support and engineering, because Rust isn't an easy language to pick up. I wouldn't want to escalate minor software problems through the management that needs engineering team's response and I'm waiting because there is not enough people to support across continents.

Marvel has become worse these days, it peaked at Infinity War, then a slow decline since then. I'm looking forward to a franchise or a movie that's entertaining as the first Star Wars trilogy.

That being said, if you like the story you'd really appreciate the movie RRR. I was pleasantly surprised when I went there without any expectation.

Why not try their monarch? if they've abolished that system they're more modern than the Brits. If they're irrelevant, that's probably the right place. Which is what I say of the British monarchs, they should be irrelevant but their society hangs on nostalgia and influences the same through the media while conveniently forgetting the past.

I don't see any other monarch's death being in the news and the public crying, some thoughts for you.

I totally agree on your point, it is an explanation and not a justification.

And I am against putting the blame on someone to feed our emotions, the hatred isn't going to serve any. This is unhealthy and what I am seeing at anti-white racism is absolutely narrow minded full of obtuse morals. I will support you and several others against such foolishness.

On a side note, this particular case is just one among many, many such happenings for over two centuries of british rule. The worst of the Black Racism and its horror history has mostly ended, and same is the case of colonial countries. But the scars run deep in both the camps, any person who has the decency and courage to come up say sorry and treat as equals would be welcomed with open arms.

It should have happened in the 70s, the 80s or 90s, 2000 or 2010s. I don't think they have any plans for it, and honestly won't care about what others say like we should about them.

I can see that, it is not what I wish. I don't advocate or recommend any of that to my fellow men. Late Queen and the current British monarchy aren't worthy and I believe they need little of our time spent in empathy.

The hatred though is coming from unresolved hurt, which the modern British era is trying hard to forget and won't be easy until they take some sensible directions towards reparations and an honest apology at least from whomever even got to witness, including the late Queen. She had a chance to resolve or ease it in our memories. We'll remember her as someone who lived their life in power, saw the horrors their parents designed upon others and didn't even have courtesy to apologise.

So much for the British decency..

Edit: Sorry for the rant. My Grandpa and his kin suffered a lot and was in freedom struggle, it is that lasting impact. I've put it here https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32775488 If you're a brit, please know that I am not against you or anybody for that matter. Just the monarchy's horrific past.

I don't hold this against anybody who wasn't directly involved in the atrocities.

I've posted the same here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32775652

Edit: With all those things in perspective I ask the same question, would the late Queen of England have given up imperialism and colonialism and gave the nations to themselves if she lived during that era? Or was it convenient that she or anyone in power now didn't have to oversee the imperialism.

I agree only on the point that she doesn't inherit the wrong deeds, nothing on her personally.

But the place she sits, is from the blood of millions who were enslaved, robbed and were dealt with a rather inhuman treatment to say the least. In the process empire also justified what they did was in the past and cautiously moved away from that without an inch of guilt. It is sad to see people in India/Pakistan/SriLanka mourn for her death, a pity case of Stockholm syndrome.

If as you say, she has done good in her life, she should have relinquished the power, disowned the wealth which was directly a result of the horrific colonialism and imperialism. Or at least have some decency and apologise, give back the stolen wealth as a good gesture. Now I wonder, if she would have given up imperialism out of her own volition if she was in power during that period. I am inclining towards No.. it was convenient she didn't have to oversee those horrors.

It has been more than 70 years and even now, they hold their crown so precious adorned with the Diamonds taken away forcefully from our lands. What an absolute shame!

There are unheard horrors from the colonial countries, which will ache even the stone hearted. Bringing all this in perspective, we don't think she's Kim, but we have the same respect or the lack of it for anyone in their legacy.

My blood boils everytime I remember how the brits cut off thumbs of my people, the silk weavers.

People underestimate the atrocities done by British empire, one tiny example is when they chopped off thumbs of handloom weavers to stop the Indian business spread within India in order to sell their goods from Manchester produced from the stolen cotton from India again, my clan of people were the silk weavers since more than a millennium and were wiped out of existence. Even now I sometimes hear the horror stories from my Grandpa who lost a lot of kin and daily bread due to the greedy pigs and jealous barbarians that the empire was.

The words imperialism and colonialism don't do justice for the horrors they brought upon us.

I generally have empathy towards the dead, but for this incident, I hardly care.

Just the excitement to see it done, for the sake of it. I think money won't even remotely come to mind.

For the second point on persistence, this guy must have a lot of patience. I've struggled on this actually. If the initial push is strong enough I sit through 3-4 days but at least for me I can't seem to come back and finish it if I put it away for more than a day.

Truly impressive considering all this.
