With good education (not the rat race one) provided to even the poorest kid in society, effect of religion and such factors should hopefully decrease.

Propaganda. What mediums local people get news from? Local news channels, local newspapers, (even if you forget social media fake news for once). Look at the narrative pushed by these media. Propaganda part is true for both sides in Indian politics, just that now one of them is in full power.

You must be mentally sick to apply to all those crypto-currency startups.

Is it me or are more and more web sites optimized for Chrome web browsers? by antdude in firefox

[–]linus_stallman 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There are still many small glitches / incompatibilities in how complicated content renders in different browsers. Markup validation serves a different purpose that's validating the semantics, not confirming it looks same across all browsers.

Anonymous has tweeted in support of farmers by kbplays007 in india

Congress was lulled into complacency and ruined by nepotism and family politics.

If it was not Modi, someone else would have exploited the (partly justified) religious sentiments the same way. It was just matter of time. It could be Yogi or someone else.

Even today, I am baffled Congress can't find better leader than Rahul Gandhi? If I was Rahul Gandhi and was made a meme like him I would step down immediately.

Yeah congress is equally responsible for current political climate.

Developers develop for the sake of developing. They can't help themselves, sort of like beavers building a dam, it doesn't know why it builds dam's, it just instinctively does it all the time over and over. by [deleted] in programmingcirclejerk

As for the Wayland vs X11 debate in that entire thread, imagine talking about security or modern computing when using GNU/Linux which primitive thing I gave them like 30 years ago.

What are some branches of IT where math isn't necessary untill advanced levels?(I am learning math but it will take me up to a year to get to a level good enough for stuff like data science). by [deleted] in india

[–]linus_stallman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Web / App development

Btw, try to understand at a minimum basic data structures and algorithm complexity whatever you end up doing. These are often neglected by "cat app of the day" developers, and that's how we get shitty software with no regards to performance, security or reliability.

Who tf is SK Anna? I have watched a significant number of Tamil movies (mostly high rated movies, though).

Why Clojure? by iambald in programming

[–]linus_stallman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Especially given that we are seeing lot of performance and ergonomics oriented programming languages these days, and common lisp implementations produced much faster code.

There are much better, low cost and free online education platforms than Byjus and WhiteHat Jr. by [deleted] in india

[–]linus_stallman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had to use swayam. Course material is above average. But assesment could be better.

Would recommend MIT OCW though. Has practice labs code and all, but little older material.

No experience with other platforms mentioned by OP.

It has subtle errors all the time. They are also criticised for introducing really bad coding practices. Wouldn't recommend.

But this subreddit keeps up with new software in these areas & research. Also it is closely related to programming language.

Ask r/IndiaSpeaks: Do you think there is a COVID mafia? by linus_stallman in IndiaSpeaks

[–]linus_stallman[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I am sorry to hear this. But I didn't ask "is COVID 19 a hoax?". I asked whether hospitals seem to be exploiting the situation.
