Thanks for sharing. How do you manage the 48 hour and 7 day fast ? I presume you only consume water and nothing else. I skip breakfast always and can skip lunch and breakfast on alternate days. Are there any trick's to learn to fast for more than 20 hours while being mentally active like coding ?

It is a Hindu religious practice of taking the life of a Hindu widow after her Husband dies( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sati_(practice) ). The central idea is to prevent remarriage with other caste men and preserve the purity of caste system.

You spoke valid points and after that you brought islam without any context. How does the reference to islam is coherent with your previous points?

> He asked me if I came into recitation, I said yes. He asked me if I participated in recitation and I said yes.

Non native English speaker here. What does "came in to recitation" mean. Recitation is the act of repeating something. What was the Recitation about and how can you go in to recitation. Could you please explain ?

Does Fabrice Bellard knows any other language other than 'c' ?. Looks all his works are in 'c'. Just trying to look if there is a correlation among the 100x programmers and the number of languages they know. Because being extremely proficient in a language is important to be highly productive.

The degree to which the nations majority religion can be criticized is a good indicator of the individual's freedom. UK and US has the most individual freedom then as may be india has a lesser degree and then the middle east has almost zero individual freedom.
