Exactly this. How many people who are commenting are missing the point is hilarious.

Fwiw, my take is that outrage culture has gone too far... maybe its time to play their game.

As per guidelines.."Please don't use HN for racial or national or religious or ethnic or any other kind of flamebait. This is all off topic for HN, and we ban accounts that post like this repeatedly."

Im gonna say it because Dang apparently isnt (to this comment)

As the saying goes, haters gonna hate.. best to ignore and carry on the process.

Extemely proud of ISRO.

Easy to criticize eh?

Since you were born of Indian parents, it will be easy for you to get OCI/PIO. Why dont you go there and start helping with alleviating poverty, corruption, water shortages and suffering? Come on...you can do it...

> I feel like India has more important problems to solve than this.

OK. Keep "feeling" and others will keep doing.

The legend himself. Waiting for this one for a few days.

Look up stuff by Rupert Spira, Michael Langford, Nisargadatta (already mentioned a few times in this thread), "The Ashtavakra Gita", "Dhammapada".

An older Thinkpad till some decent Ryzen based 4K laptops come out next year.

I just got me a T440P. Put in 16G, SSD (can put 2 more SSDs for a total of 3), its got a socketed i7 and a removable 9 cell battery for easier upgrades. I upgraded the default display (garbage) to a 1080p display (really simple ..done with a screwdriver) and this thing is a beast with Manjaro Linux and KDE or i3.

I also have an x230 with OpenBSD.

My old 2015 retina MBP is going to my dad who has a shitty old windows 10 spyware laptop.

Yawn. That would only be a problem if you choose to run Micro$oft software. And it is in your hands to fix the problem by going with Linux etc. (key word is choose...i realise it is imposed on many, specially in the enterprise world).

The Economist itself has a left wing bias.

IOW, Google and its properties continue their slow suicide/slide into irrelevance.

I’m still a novice functional programmer so this may be a dumb comment but I thought a lisp would be more thread safe due to immutable data structures.

I have had a tough time getting my 4k ext display to properly scale with i3. I tried arandr but the fonts are too small. With scaling , Emacs, Firefox and alacritty seem to be ok but things seem sluggish on my x230. How did you do it ?

I asked the same question and basically my findings are that unless you need .Net, stick to Ocaml for *nix systems
