That caste reservation system you mentioned is fundementally flawed. For example, it will favor children of low caste individual who already benefitted from the system and is at economically very priviledged position over children of a high caste individual who are economically disadvantaged.

I had pleasure of using HipChat some times ago. That was probably the worst Atlassian product I have ever used. You want to edit the message you just send, you have to type 's/string/replacement' within 60s.

When I want to focus, I pause slack notifications. Slack provide a way to still send it, but in my workplace people tend to respect that setting unless it is a real emergency.

Actually, it's you who doxxed yourself when you choose to use your residential address for a LLC. They just shared a searchable, public domain document.

I never relied on Netflix's suggestions, yet still find Netflix interface superior to those of Disney+, Hulu, HBO, and Amazon Prime. To be honest, Amazon Prime is a mess.

Sinhala does not have the structure of Dravidian languages. However, the alphabet used to write Sinhala has a shared origin with the alphabets used to write Dravidian languages. Also due to long coexistence with Tamil in the island, Sinhala burrows lot of loanwords from Tamil.

I am Sinhalese who grew up in Sri Lanka. As such I am exposed to Tamil, but when I watch Tamil TV, at best I can pick few words here and there. But when I watch Hindi show, I understand a lot more due to the structure is very similar to that of Sinhala.
