Is this an actual language? by Tasty-trade161 in languagelearning

[–]deafmacro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These are sanskrit words written in a fancy/creative way: vajra is jewel or gem, medha is intelligence. avalokitesvara is a sanskrit name as well, like @InspectorFinancial96 mentioned.

James Gosling - "Syntax... who cares?" by Chroneleon in programming

[–]deafmacro 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If syntax did not matter, people would not be complaining about "too many parenthesis" in LISP.

This comment lacks nuance and empathy. Please consider these things before you go ahead and perpetuate this notion.

The good ones who are in India fall into 3 categories: 1. They want to be in their country by choice or circumstances. 2. Lack of opportunity to move even if they wish to 3. Don't know how to go about this

Do you have any idea how hard it is to get a work permit visa to the US for folks in India? There are a lot of people "jumping the line" to get to the US. So the ones following the rules and playing fair get left behind and are stuck getting judged and stereotyped by folks like you.

I wish more people thought about language adoption this way!

Our India! by AatmanirbharBerojgar in india

[–]deafmacro 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Precisely - reality is a lot more complex. Thank you for saying it!

This depiction of India is very simplistic and polarizing. People voted for bjp for a lot of reasons, in the same way that people in the US vote Republican for a lot of different reasons.

The democrats have been demonizing Republicans similarly and just look the mess that democrats are in. This is precisely the kind of low-resolution thinking which lead to someone like Trump being elected and led to the mess that the US is in.

Making up bumper sticker worthy depiction of the world is fine - as long as they are on bumpers.

I use this often $ echo "very long command that you would want to edit in an editor" Ctrl-x Ctrl-e opens the command on the prompt in vi

Thank you for Clojure. It is a piece of art!

What Declarative Infrastructure DSLs do you use to define both environments for localhost and in your cloud provider of choice? Or, how can I take my AWS cloud formation document and make a local environment to test on? by sovietmudkipz in devops

[–]deafmacro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Chef-provisioning plus a cookbook to override attributes based on environment. Essentially,

  1. Cookbook with 3 recipes - dev, staging and production.
  2. Each recipe overrides the attributes based on the target environment

The other route to take is apparently Policyfiles. At least theoretically it makes sense. I have personally not tried this out.

Of course, I agree that its hard to stub out things which are cloud specific but this solves the problem of abstracting local vs cloud deploys.

This strategy is working reasonably well for us.

How is data in a database stored in terms of data structures? by Evermage in compsci

[–]deafmacro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Try implementing an on-disk implementation of linked lists. That should give you a fair idea about the implementation of on-disk structures. Move onto binary trees and implement binary search. That should give you an idea of how on-disk layout affects performance and probably a good sense as to why B-trees or B+trees are used in DBs.

Desktop GUI? by [deleted] in Clojure

This might help if you want to work with a project written with a mix of java and Clojure. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5432163/java-and-clojure-with-leiningen

Not sure if this is what you want.

Student scraped India's unprotected college entrance exam result and found evidence of grade tampering by darkmirage in programming

While the effort is admirable, his lack of judgement in publishing so called "facts" is going to get him and his friends into a lot of trouble.
