I don't have much context about your technical requirements but can I ask why JSON instead of a more indexable format?

I am from India and pretty sure the reason here is it's much easier to make UIs in flutter than in Android native. Nothing specific to India being a developing country.

It's natural to see students using easier stuff as well. Most of student projects you come across is using react, flutter, firebase, MongoDB, as opposed to Angular/Vue, Android native/Jetpack, postgresql etc.. which have much higher barrier to entry.

But this may have to do with developing countries having more recent developers, and less established developers.

Due to career and other reasons, there is a publish or perish crisis today.

Maybe we can do better by accepting not everyone can publish ground breaking results, and it's okay.

There are lots of incompetent people in academia, who later go to upper positions and decide your promotions by citation counts and how much papers you published. I have no realistic ideas how to counter this.

British one was different. They recognized some castes as martial races etc.. but didn't do identity politics on them.

Whatever caste system is today there in India, it was before arrival of Europeans as well, but little more flexible compared to the strict categorisation they did.

It's mostly due to Go being statically typed and having good editor tooling IMO. Doesn't excuse other atrocities in its design.

I laughed so hard at this. Is it TV9?

> Well, you could, if you could rely on LD_LIBRARY_PATH to be set to "." by default.

It's actually supported without LD_LIBRARY_PATH hacks, using DT_RPATH. You can do that by passing -rpath '$ORIGIN' to linker IIRC.

Are there enough rust jobs that don't involve shady stuff like crypto currency?

Nothing to be amazed about.

The social conditioning of girls is preferring the popular person. The social circles decide half of what's attractive, and that's generally outgoing, 'popular' types and not your math nerd. This is even true for intelligent girls, as most of them are socially conditioned to value characteristics conventionally perceived as musculine and / or attractive. Often the characteristics of the partner decide the girl's social standing among the peers.

I might get a lot of flame for mentioning this, but there's a concept called Fischerian runaway. Basically the fact that female sexual selection is fragile and doesn't always lead to good kind of evolution.

This is probably one thing that conservative cultures get right. If you're a 19 year old studying engineering or medicine in India, no one judges you because you are a virgin. (The culture has it's drawbacks, too. I am not downplaying them).
