Great read. I didn't know how exactly the rats were eradicated from Alberta something I have just heard and taken for granted. Reading the article provided a great overview of how much effort it really took to do it.

I would like to mention that, even though Alberta is rat free, we still have mice that can make your life misreble if they somehow enter your house/office.

People are going to line up for all of them. Hype sells these days.

I agree with author on the point that queues are best to handle spikes. But when you are talking about scale dealing with millions of messages in short span of time for extended period, queues can never remain empty. Empty queues in this situation would mean that your concurrency is high. When your concurrency is high, this would result in too many concurrent connections to your database which wouldend upcreating bottlenecks for your system.

The system should be designed to handle as many messages as possible ensuring that your resources don't get over burdened. Empty queues where your messages keep getting rejected because your resources are being hammered is not necessarily an efficient system.

I wrote Namaste, and the N for that looked more like an R. I tried again with Normalization and it produced correct letters. Then I wrote namaste and it wrote it correctly as well. Wonder why it doesn't like "N" in Namaste. :D

I can't express in words the amount of push UPI has provided in India for the digital payments sector. Any shop I have visited in the past year has a QR code on the Front counter. And I am not talking about big shops. I am talking about Hawkers, street vendors, Brick and Mortar shops, roadside Dhabas, Mechanics.

UPI is a gamechanger.

I think the main problem with the accuracy of Wikipedia comes into play when reading about events related to politics or similar controversial topics. I have seen plenty of wrong information on Wikipedia related to recent events which I knew for a fact that were wrong because those events happened in my city and the area in which I reside in.

The information related to the field of science is accurate but can't say the same for modern events or history.

I completely get that point. I have had that happen to me as well in the past. But since 6 years, whenever I have been to an interview I have never been asked questions so tightly coupled to a language as the article suggests. I have been asked a few questions related to instances where a language doesn't behave as expected. Like `typeof(null)` in js or `1+'1'`. But nothing very very specific. Mostly general questions tend to be more around protocols, design patterns and stuff.

But nothing is for sure. Maybe these questions are still very relevant and it's just that I haven't come across them in interviews recently maybe?

First of all the title is wrong. Everything mentioned in the article is specific to Php. Secondly, interviews are more algorithm/system design specific rather than being asked what are the new features in latest version of a language.

No, I haven't watched this movie.

Lots of steps taken in right direction. And lot of major problems ignores too by this government.

But that doesn't change the fact that the approval rating has gone up. So, whatever you have shared doesn't really mean anything in response to the comment I posted.

Oh yes. Dead bodies are floating in rivers everywhere. Yes 230 millilion people gave been pushed to poverty. Economy of every other country in the world is thriving. Nobody lost a job in any other part of the world except India.

Dude, please use your brain along side the news you read. Every major business has taken a hit and labor class is the main class that has taken a hit. Do I need to remind you of much of population of India falls in that category?

They say that this can be used to safely move injured soldiers out of the battelfield. I am having hard time understanding that. From the looks of it, this seems like something that dwells in well with the background. Moving subject will definitely be visible as background doesn't stay constant isn't it?

But this is definitely something very innovative and unique.

Are you saying Samskruta is not an Indic language?

Quite a good read. I wonder what kind of other details are there in Natyashastra. If anyone can provide a good resource on it I will really appreciate it.
