andrewvijay··on GNU Guile 2.2.0
Why are those brackets there in the syntax? What's the need? It looks hard to read when the programs are bigger. Is there any super advantage to it?
andrewvijay··on Why many Indian politicians have a criminal record
Responsibility.
andrewvijay··on Why many Indian politicians have a criminal record
Yeah the congress has to be gone for good. Also the current govt! They have the highest no of criminals in the parliament now. Its not even up for debate. They need to be weeded out.
andrewvijay··on Why many Indian politicians have a criminal record
They are not the prime ministers now. The context that we are talking here is about the current govt. If the previous govts had lots of wrong doers then it doesnt mean the current govt doing the same is okay. Get your priorities straight.
andrewvijay··on Why many Indian politicians have a criminal record
did you not read the word 'was' ? Im not saying he is a mass murderer. Im only saying he was on the case for long. Your insecurity about this only makes me even more suspicious.
andrewvijay··on Why many Indian politicians have a criminal record
I'm an Indian and can verify that. A lot of scumbags keep winning and hold onto power here usually by hook or crook. In fact even the prime Minister modi was on a mass murdering case of Gujarat 2002. He was the chief minister when the riots Happened!! That guy has still not even apologized or said sorry to the families whose people were killed. The current govt has the largest share of criminals in power. There are some honest players coming up. We'll see if they are really honest in a few years.
andrewvijay··on In Its Third Month, India’s Cash Shortage Begins to Bite
Of course they did. It was said to remove corruption, stop black money and stop terrorism. Just emotional non sense and fake hopes. It shut a lot of people's mouths as they labelled the opposers as anti national. There was a lot of online abuse to netizens as well. Still is.

They efficiently managed to pull off this massive failure without widespread anger.

Words can do a lot of damage than weapons. Gandhi used it for uniting people into a good cause and this guy uses it for his own fantasies.

I'm glad the veil is coming off though. People are disgruntled that it's just talk and no work.

Surely you must visit India and say that after a week as one among the citizens and not as a white tourist.

They simply didn't care. They cared about a number of elections and falling reputation of Narendra modi. Nothing else.
andrewvijay··on Making the move from Scala to Go
I'm sorry we never used Scala.it was a pure Java code base.
andrewvijay··on Making the move from Scala to Go
sure. Never denied. But we are breaking apart that java code part by part. The docker build size is also very small as mentioned in the article. Our app involves lot of bandwidth so we good with smaller containers.
andrewvijay··on What's all this fuss about Erlang? (2007)
"How do programmers fix these problems? They don’t. They pray." :D LOLed at this!!
andrewvijay··on Making the move from Scala to Go
Its not go code fully. Its java that takes 3 mins. Go takes very less time like 3-4 secs. Multiple smaller services so we compile only what we change.
andrewvijay··on Making the move from Scala to Go
java ~ 3.4 mins, go - 3-4 secs :D
andrewvijay··on Making the move from Scala to Go
3 person effort for 4 months. Compile time was just one of the advantages though.
andrewvijay··on Making the move from Scala to Go
Really well written. We have a similar story where we re wrote parts of our Java code in go and the build time has reduced from 15m to 3.6m! Coffee break to reading a small medium article.
andrewvijay··on Sony and LG stop making 3D TV sets
Thank you
andrewvijay··on Xiaomi's global vice president Hugo Barra is leaving the company
Same here. Good one
andrewvijay··on Snatch: A simple and fast download accelerator, in Rust
Im sorry but I find the parent very correct here. The headline is hype based. The README shows no signs of benchmarks or comparisons to define its acclaimed speed. Also mentioning an upcoming feature in the headline is not something people would prefer. Its still okay as its open source and people can do what they want. But to be taken seriously, it needs to be as realistic and true as possible.
andrewvijay··on Rax – A universal React-compatible render engine
Looks okay but what does it offer more than other react clones

Simply shows that their teams are not in sync with security policies or they don't have one.
andrewvijay··on Atlassian acquires Trello for $425M
Kinda makes me happy for trello's founders. Have been using it as a reference site for HTML and CSS development. I really liked those buttons! :D I hope atlassin doesn't make it bloated and shitty. Hope it stays good for the small teams as it has ever been!
andrewvijay··on RustgreSQL
Is the C language more complicated than building a database?! That's looking to be way more exaggerated.
andrewvijay··on Car allergic to vanilla ice cream (2000)
And the solution for brian was to click OK instead of doubleclicking? :D
andrewvijay··on Ask HN: What is the best Linux distro for a development laptop?
You could have mentioned what kind of development you do. Cause image JavaScript developer and I write go/rust sometimes. These things run great in Ubuntu for me. Also I think so Ubuntu has the highest market share among devs so choosing it can be a better option.
andrewvijay··on Transitioning Firefox's rendering engine from Gecko to Servo
I'm on this rust hype train for a long time. This move by mozilla is probably going to be the biggest success story that might give rust a lot of attention. I hope the new engine is fast as heck and uses less battery in all my devices. Please!
