sabujp··on Ask HN: The book that did it for you in math and/or CS?
APUE Advanced programming in the unix environment, http://www.apuebook.com/apue3e.html, got me into Google as an SA. If you have some programming skills and know this book front to back then you can also probably get in as an SRE (learn some graphing/charting and stats also!)

sabujp··on Growing a mango tree from seed – one year time lapse [video]
People here complaining about good mangoes not being available in the US haven't been to CA. You can get a box of 14-15 alphonso or ataulfo mangoes for $10-12 at local indian and asian stores around late summer. These come in from Mexico and near the beginning of the season are still not yet ripe (on purpose so they don't spoil in the store). Wait a few days after purchasing them and then they become really sweet.

Yes, also when things are in season those fruits and vegetables taste better in your tropical/subtropical countries, but that's the problem with places like India, when things aren't in season it's difficult to get those items or they are really expensive and really bad quality. In the US (esp. in CA!) I can get decent quality fruits and vegetables almost year round and I can grow lots of things on my own, freeze them, and then enjoy them year round too. The open stall markets where the majority of Indians do their grocery shopping only have seasonal vegetables, there's 0 refrigeration. The chicken and fish areas are full of blood, it's very unhygienic and if you want beef or pork, good luck.

Also in India the concept of eating raw leafy green salads is completely foreign and due to lack of food hygiene there's no demand for eating raw lettuces. The blistering heat also doesn't help for growing kales, chards, and microgreens. Leafy vegetables must be cooked or flash boiled. Again, you can get microgreens at the supermarkets but it's more expensive than in the US and just like everyone else there I'm not going to eat raw leafy greens for fear of getting food poisoning. People in the US complaining about low quality food have no idea how good they have it, even with the few ecoli scares you have a few times of the year, you can be sure major stores pull the bad produce. Before I go to India and immediately after coming back I eat tons of salad loaded with avocados, various types of nuts/seeds, various types of berries, olives, and various other fruits and vegetables. I find myself craving these items a few days into my month long India trips. It's easy to eat and live a healthy lifestyle in the US, not so much in India.

Favoritism should have aboslutely nothing to do with this. Public stuff on the internet should be exactly that, public. You have no expectation of privacy and it's up to you as an owner/operator to maintain the security of your site, make sure you aren't being dos'd, screen scraped (use strong captchas, validated accounts), etc.

sabujp··on Michigan DOT Snowplow Names
i'm just happy that HN has a sense of humor and every US DOT that has snowplows should have such a page. these are too good. TIL: Heikki Lunta is the embodiment of the Finnish snow god character who originated in the mythology of the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. The character of Heikki Lunta is a product of the heavy Finnish-American presence in Michigan's Upper Peninsula combined with a tremendous annual snowfall.

sabujp··on Covid-19 may have killed nearly 3M in India, far more than official counts show
no, it was not a thyrocare, might have been a local contractor working for apollo. However, my mom went recently and for the return booked an at home travel test collection through https://www.metropolisindia.com/covid-19-test and was able to get an rt-pcr result in less than 24 hrs.

looks great for mobile, doesn't stretch to fill larger monitors, maybe set the viewport percentages properly? Also the existing mobile interface for wiki imho looks better, but of course doesn't have the dark mode options, that's easily changeable.
