Where did you get the 2% number from? ED claims a conviction rate of 93% in PMLA cases - https://www.business-standard.com/india-news/over-93-convict....

True. 15 years ago when I was working at a large digital storage vendor, the joke was that Friday afternoon was for discussing each others' weekend plans; and Monday morning was for discussing the outcomes of those plans.

I hope they will launch this in India soon. Seems like a no-brainer for india's price conscious market.

> another mobilization against Ukraine

I doubt Ukraine has a significant Muslim population, so it would be hard to mobilize against Ukraine based on an attack by ISIS.

That's more a commentary on the inefficiency of Teams rather than software in general. Slack and discord both open pretty much instantaneously, and rarely show up in the top 10 resource consumers on my laptop.

Exactly.

One operation where this difference is significant is renaming a "folder". In UNIX (and even UNIX-y distributed filesystems like HDFS) a rename operation at "folder" level is O(1) as it only involves metadata changes. In S3, renaming a "folder" is O(number of files).

There are benchmarks here - https://github.com/Eventual-Inc/Daft?tab=readme-ov-file#benc.... Seems to outperform Dask by a fair bit.

Really impressive benchmarks - outperforms even Spark by a good margin. Great work!

Article is from 2022. I remember reading this news at the time and having a chuckle or two over it.

I wish they were available in India :-(

And here I was thinking this was a new watch from Tissot :-)

Lots of companies have this scheme, usually called Employee Stock Purchase Plan. 2 of my previous employers had it, and it was quite popular among employees as well.

Historically (in tech at least) the stock price goes up when layoffs are announced. So buying your employer's stock may serve as a small insurance against being laid off.

It's still free on itch.io

Curious - is this really expensive to make? Why is chromatic aberration even a thing now if we've had this technology since 1969?

Congratulations on building your own company! Out of curiosity, may I know what it is?

Start investing in stocks early. The initial years of my career, most of my investment went into real estate, which have provided nowhere near the kind of returns that I've got from stocks in the last decade or so.

Yes. You also get Vagrant images for them [1] which are quite convenient to use.

I have an Asus from 2017 that still works great. I replaced the ram and ssd with higher capacity ones a couple of years back, but apart from that no repairs in the last 6+ years.

Did you directly get promoted to CEO ;-) ?

My thoughts exactly :-). Remote and fewer responsibilities are a win-win situation for some of us.

Crafting interpreters [1] is one such, where the author walks you through writing an interpreter for a toy language. The book uses Kotlin IIRC, but you can write the interpreter in any language of your choice.

What's the advantage of this for hydration when compared to plain water?

What's the advantage of css in js as opposed to just plain css?

The wepb images are smaller and load pretty fast.

I wish FF would implement support for WebAuthN Passkeys so I can use it for work as well :-(

India is at #9 and it's very common here too. It's become even more so in the tech sector after remote work. Almost all of my single colleagues live with their parents. And even some of the married ones live with parents or in-laws.

I can understand the appeal - no rentals to pay, way lower cost of living if the parents live in a non-metropolitan area, and - if you have kids - you have someone to take care of them during your meetings.

No, thanks. I'll hold out for the Vantablack version.

In my first job, our dev environment was on NFS-mounted servers - and I wouldn't be surprised if that company still follows the same model. In my last one, we started with local environments, but started moving to cloud environments (using something like repl.it) as the UX - especially running tests - was much faster on the remote dev environments.

YMMV of course, but it's horses for courses if you ask me.
