See I am not American and don't care about American culture war, Republican Democratican, or whatever you guys are using as an excuse to burn down buildings. It's plain wrong to pu…

the problem is some day the information will leak and the ones who know start gaming the metric.

I am grug. More benefit type when there's red line in editor. More benefit type system when F2 rename everywhere.

Is there a difference between intrusive and extrusive list when the member type is a struct (value type)?

Not same. A) I can't download book. I go see other book. B) I can download book. I download it. If B is the case, my ability to download book did not cause you any loss.

Just look at the armchair advocate fired from Google last year.

Not so sure about that, with a certain clickbait coverage of solarwinds story creating bad PR for Jetbrains, (perhaps among the least controversial tech companies). That's what hap…

Modern java is pretty nice though. I tried MLs and Haskells but was put off by not-so-mature tooling. (I know some of you do very well with it but I am used to some hand holding). …

Given 90% of execs spend their entire lives doing nepotism and politics, I don't think it's as foolish as you frame it.

That's true, but having seen (non-IIT) Indian colleges, I am not surprised if 80%+ students they see are like that. Moreover, intelligent ones less commonly opt for masters degrees…

Those subjects are not there for any meaningful purpose. Imagine having a CS degree program and teaching chemistry, physics, biology and a bunch of even lesser subjects is blatant …

It's a grey area. In india, the engineering curriculum includes lot of subjects that are not useful for the students but only there because some fat belly officer thought it would …

It's also that many teachers are underproficient.
