Me thinking a 10 year stint at academia. Get a PhD.....

INMHO any company that sells solution completely relying on managed cloud services by these 3 has 2 problems to deal with:

- What happens to the cost of these services when company scales out?

- Whats preventing AWS, AZURE or GCP from copying the stack and selling a new "managed service" which does what you did in the first place?

Seriously, I would like to know? Do people take these into accounts before relying on AWS, Azure or GCP completely?

Hey dbenny, Just browsed the careers page and I saw few positions where I could be a good fit. Are there TZ restrictions for the remote positions?

Thanks.

> It is percent of population that matters not absolute number of vaccinated people. Israel is near 70%, while India is only 0.5% [1].

Which is more commendable considering the vastness of the land itself. Israel == Delhi and surrounding reasons.

Given the economic parameters of the country, it has better CFR than US, Italy, Germany and UK. Thats pretty amazing considering the health expenditure and wealth of US, Italy, Germany, UK is enormously high than India.

As when number fudging that is not happening.You can look at data from independent foreign houses stationed in India.

India. It is an enigma that why is India's response to Covid-19 gets ignored. India to date has vaccinated more people than Israel and has one of the least CFR per capita.

I never had the courage of say this...

I wanted to try zstd for a rust based application running as on Android. The cross-compilation and integration left me in pain and I am stuck with `zlib` which is also great IMHO.

On a different note, some research must be done to investigate such low prevalence and fatality ratio in countries like India and Pakistan.

I work for a company dominated by non CS . They brought in contractor since the contractor's CEO is a good talk. This contractor is full of full-stack JS devs. Now we have their ideas implemented on edge devices. Noice.

> Rust without borrow-checker.

Might as well go back to Golang.

> New Rust users are coming, predominantly, from other languages instead, notably Java and Go, and scripting languages

True

> The appeal of safety is not what wins the users it gains today.

You are wrong here, mate. If borrow checker prevents mass adoption, I am okay with that. I have dabbled enough problems in poorly written code by "full stack" developers who write code by combining different blog-posts from Medium without any thoughts to underlying memory model, that I am happy that some language feature prevents these folks to take up a Language.

Nope, this is wishful thinking along with the lines "that allowing China to flaunt WTO rules and prosper will help it to be democratic."

Counter-points

- China doesn't want to sensor innovation, but control it.

- Chinese companies and people have access to the latest innovation in all fields as most of the stuff is assembled there.

- China reverse-engineers these innovations of West and float the market with competition which are many a times subsidized by Communist Party.

- Censorship of individuals does not matter as long as Chinese companies have access to latest innovation which they can reverse engineer.

- the interviewer at FAANG is that the technical interview holds the same weight as other non-technical rounds (not sure if he's BSing me) and for good reasons.

Not true. I know someone in high ops of these things. For G I an A I can attest, you have to give the best runtime solution, otherwise its a NO.

Look at Indian subcontinent, the entire Indian subcontinent has over 20% of world's population and yet couple of thousand deaths due to Covid.

I believe micro-droplets being evaporated by the notorious South Asian heat is playing a part.

This made me chuckle.

I just chickened out of Google interview last month. I dont know how I feel now.

Are non Germans not eligible? The job description is in German.

I am surprised no one in including Gauss.

As if Cisco doesn't at the behest of NSA.

I have to learn Rust for my new job starting next month. Any recommendations?

I have suffered from this personally. I was a "smart" kid. I was always top of my class till 10th standard. Everybody called me smart and intelligent. The schoolwork till 10th never challenged me. But when the complexity increase with pre college courses and STEM I was lost because I never had tackled this kind of difficulty before. I went into depression for couple of years. I was saved by Hamming's "You and Your research" and Learning how to learn. I restarted believing and learning again with growth mindset.

I dont know as to why you would infer that I am calling a couple of hundreds of million people racist. I will restate what my assertion is. Identity politics is the political paradigm in India. Majority of the populace in India votes on basis of identity, caste, creed or religion. The linguistic identity of people is the best and only identity politics that is there. Now if reorganisation of Indian states on basis of water considerations will lead to situations were politicians will exploit and portray the reorganisation as imperialistic designs of north Indian hegemonies of Hindi and Hindutva policies even though the policy will be based on water considerations. Add to this the influx of Chinese and Pakistani influences and situation may get worse and we might have a humanitarian crisis on our hand.

And I do reiterate that I am not against linguistic units of governance.

And also this is the worst case scenario but nevertheless a scenario. All depends upon how our politicians portray these to citizens and when it comes to politicians, we never know.

> Granted, redrawing the map based on watershed doesn't solve India's problem

Thats a recipe for political disaster. Identity based politics is the only paradigm of politics in India. Currently southern states in India are organised on linguistic identity and every now and then there are statements from main-stream politicians calling for secession and establishing a separate country to counter the influx for North Indians who are painted as separate racial and ethnic group by these politicians. Breaking up existing units of governance organised on the linguistic identity will add fuel to the fire of separatism and powers like China and Pakistan will be more than happy to assist the separatists movement that starts because of this stupidity. BTW this is the wet dream of Pakistan and China as to India's future. Be noted the human cost a separatist movement will cause. India's bulk of fighting forces is made up by youths from north India. Do this and we have a Syria or Bangladesh with a scale of 1 billion plus people.

> Tarjan did have to point it out to me when I should have used it.

Wow, you worked with Tarjan. How cool!!!.

> I do object to my taxes funding foreign aid to a country that have a well developed nuke program, a big military and a burgeoning space industry

Talk to your elected representatives about that.

> North Indian at least now learn south indian languages and improve communication.

Am a North Indian living in Blore. You are right. The thing is there is no incentive to learn Kannada for me. At work everyone speaks English, outside of work too, English does it for me. I have never had the need to learn Kannada in Blore. I found its requirement when I went to Hampi and other than that in Blore itself I never felt handicapped for not being able to speak in Kannada. I know that its my fault, learning local language is always nice to experience local culture, but I have been lazy and English is slowly but certainly replacing all Indian languages.

This. Cabs that are not part of Uber, they just wont agree to take you. I still dont know these drivers rationale behind denying the ride. I understand its their prerogative to refuse a ride, but they do it so often which makes me wonder, how are they making money by refusing rides again and again.

Few questions:

1. Where can I find that algorithm you are talking about?

2. The algorithm which you stated seems a bit complex from the algos taught in the undergrad level, so what are the pre-requisites for understanding it that I must be aware of?

3. What books or papers you would suggest for reading?

4. How the hell you remember something you read decades ago :)?

A year of Data backup lost. Do you realize how that alone may cause the clients to dump a company and do you realize that startups may never recover from fiasco like these? I understand that it was false positive triggered by internal systems. But how do you explain the delay in restoring the services and reflagging again within hours after the services were restored?

Hi there. What would you suggest to a person who loves these kind of stuff (data structures and algorithms) but finds it hard to develop the underlying intuitions for coming up with these data-structure and algorithm? I personally just hammer down on deliberate practice to recognise patterns and underlying concepts to solve as many problems as I can on my own. I was wondering apart from general DS and Algo what topics in Mathematics might supplement this process?

And yes this plugin is awesome.
