It's a translation map of Indian languages - type in a word, see the translations across 22 languages.

I was inspired by this HN post (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43152587), and wanted to make something similar for India (which has similar linguistic diversity). Translations are fetched with Google Translate, but I also display 'romanizations' (transliterated into Latin script), which are generated with a local ML model.

Now that it's done, I've mostly been working on a little Markdown-to-HTML parser in Haskell.

  <0-255>\.<0-255>\.<0-255>\.<0-255>

EDIT: formatting

As the proportion of younger engineers contributing to open-source decreases (a reasonable choice, given the state of the economy), I see only two future possibilities:

1. Big corporations take ownership of key open-source libraries in an effort to continue their development.

2. Said key open-source libraries die, and corporations develop proprietary replacements for their own use. The open source scene remains alive, but with a much smaller influence.

Agreed, and this is a nice way of putting it. There's a sense that shit is really hitting the fan this time.

Fascinating. I get predictions about something large-scale like the internet, but this seems like a rather specific to predict, doesn't it?

> regular manned missions to Mars and a human colony on the moon aren't any more realistic than they were back in the 90s.

Fingers crossed that the Artemis program gets us closer to the latter.

Neither. While colonialism didn't _create_ generational poverty, the systemic genocides of the British were new. Colonial policy of prioritizing exports directly led to the deaths of millions. That's a fact.

A similar comparison would be between Roman slavery and the chattel slavery of the Americas. They are both abhorrent practices (just like the genocides caused by Indian rulers in the pre-British period), but it pales in comparison to the scale and horror of antebellum slavery.

Still waiting :D

That idea seems to be coming back.

Do you have any examples of this?

Not in a surveillance state. It's easy for a company/government to identify unrest and deal with the perpetrators, before anything breaks out. These institutions have the power to ruin your life for showing any signs of protest.

Personal code: Vim (more recently, zed) and a browser.

That said, surely there must be a less blunt way of saying it? Something like "I believe in the team, but we still need improvement".

How does that work? Are they cached somewhere? Devtools doesn't indicate a call to google translate.
