You should consider redesigning the website colors to spare visitors' eyes. I mean, the posted link opens a page with white text on black background, but clicking on the "immutable coffee" link takes to a page with black text

But the dependence on monsoon balances it out, even makes it lopsided, except may be in some northern parts that rely on snow fed rivers.

This is just alarmist. The bravado shown on TV is surely not taken seriously by the authorities themselves for they know the consequences. So even if the point of impact coincides with the crescendo of tension to the T, sanity will prevail

This will go against the grain here on HN. I don't know how anyone can imagine self driving even succeeding in real world, leave alone in the so called third world, unless all vehicles are self driven and operate in a controlled envi

Simply because writing is the best form of communication of ideas after speech, and using speech to program is just silly, not to mention cumbersome and not productive. Writing, since its invention, has become inseparable from humans and it

> Yet it was a simple mechanical invention. It would seem to require no brilliant inventive insight, and certainly no scientific background. That's a seriously weak premise. A bicycle is more than a metal rod with wheels; it needs

Can someone explain why its fair or acceptable to force Google to make its index public, the one it built with its own time and money, instead of having some open source initiative building another index from scratch?

I think the correct way to go about this is to just encourage people to plant trees suitable and native to their (people's) environment. And let it scale. Better, also tell them not to fell trees left right and center. In the exuberanc

Until we program in natural language, I don't see why we must even bother with this. Its fun but useless. For programming as it is today, its just a bunch of English words that we have to learn. We can always comment and document in ou

I am self taught in C++. I learnt it when I realized my BE FORTRAN wasn't going to enable creating GUI simulation. I did have a few hiccups like any beginner but soon it was alright, so have no idea what it is like to be formally taugh

> C++ was originally "C, with Classes", so OOP was the whole point of C++ existing in the first place This is like describing a middle aged man based on what he did in middle school. Things evolve. C++ has. Almost to a fault wh

> OOP encourages adding layers of abstraction, indirection, and generic stuff [...] Generics/templates and indirection are not OOP. Procedural style encourages them as well. You can see that in C++ itself.

The main problem with these kinds of exposition topics is that the steps involved are quite dense. By that I mean something like density of real numbers; between any two real numbers there are any number of real numbers. Then, the writer ju

I actually love this ongoing cat and mouse game. I don't follow the events in this field keenly so I don't know if it exists, but the challenge is to find antidote to this concoction, created by mad scientists just for sake of sci

There are two kinds of generalists - those who think they are and those who actually are. The distinguishing feature of the latter is that they are polymaths in the making, a journeyman polymath if you will. They have sufficient depth in mu

When I see engineers in their late 40s, 50s etc being harsh on algorithm interviews, I often wonder is it because they failed to keep up with changing times and are now playing victims. I mean, IT industry is nothing like what it was in the
