What do you mean ? The link you added says in the first line

> The government today made the Android version of Aarogya Setu open source

The techcrunch link also said android version is being made opensource.

Wow I never expected this from Indian Govt irrespective of the political party. And bounty on top of that for security issues is definitely next level.

Sure, I agree that the newer software might not particularly be innovative or large. At this stage we just need a lot more CRUD apps than ever.

> we will have more software written by a smaller number of people

This was the past IMO. Future will have larger number of people writing even more software.

I wonder if the author has met people working in non-software industries, but most software is still unwritten. What we have nowis most amount of software for software developers.

I use this https://www.websequencediagrams.com/ a lot

> He adds a new rule to the detector. Mark as spam if it contains the "共匪" sub-string

But they have the best people of the industry who are highly paid for their engineering and problem solving skills.

Isn't this the kind of problem they are supposed to solve ?

> As a software engineer I understand these sort of bugs.

As a software engineer I would have understood this sort of bug if it was some startup.

Ah shit, another site for my /etc/hosts

I wonder reddit would be even more useless for me since half the content is from giphy.

Reachable for me

blacklist is probably to avoid cases where it randomly generates a real word like above two cases, so that blacklist filter is probably applied after the ml stuff.

> I love that Google is starting to solve this problem

They aren't solving the problem. They are making sure only they can get all the user information.

I would rather give all my information to everyone rather than giving all my information to google.

> what did you have for lunch? > what did you do yesterday?

please don't ask made up questions. or else we complete the whole cycle. ask when you really want to know something. else it's just stupid.

I completely dislike the "isn't made is js/web/electron tech" argument

Because as you said "It's certainly not perfect yet"

Practice is not the same as execution

So what ?

Making the code rust as fast as it can go

> Which basically implies that people should be responsible for fixing the sht others do instead of their own, which is completely insane

So we can't fix it. More so we shouldn't fix it because its 'the sht others do'

> You basically said "if you don't like it why don't you go fix it".

That is exactly what i am saying.

> But what you said is just a pervasive form of the "man up (and fix my shit if you don't like it)" of social responsibility debate.

I am not saying that. You are saying that its the only choice we have (because why would we want to fix it).

> Sorry if you are not actually trying to troll, but it really looks like it to me.

Same comes to my mind.

So we are effectively stuck with this right. Why even complain ? Isn't complain a way to achieve change ?

So you are saying at most what we should do is complain. If that changes nothing, what else we could have done.

Never Attribute to Malice That Which Is Adequately Explained by Stupidity

> What is this, the youtube comment section? Nah

maybe it should be. a wider variety of takes is available on youtube comment section.

your rest of the comment is again just absolute worst of what you can say about the govt in one sweep.

nobody is saying indian govt is the best.

> No one who actually cares can fight in all the fronts

which "single" front have you fought ?

being blind is one thing, and closing your eyes to a complete set of issues and blame the govt is something else.

since every one here can identify the issues, so i dont think anyone is blind here.

This is just the most negative take you can have on the system.

> The legal system is plagued with almost absurd delays

Explained in other sibling comment.

> India is the most corrupt country in Asia

but not the most corrupt in the world right ? not even in top 10. And you choose to say "a complete joke".

> Extrajudicial killings by police are organised, commonplace and are ignored or condoned by politicians and the judiciary

Law doesn't work like that. It would be a major problem if judiciary was just able to do what it "thinks" is correct.

> I can't think of any part of the Indian criminal justice system that isn't severely dysfunctional.

Don't even know how to respond to that. Maybe become a judge in a court ?

> India needs more courts and judges but for some reason does not build more courts.

You do know why. Because its a low pay job and private jobs are paying higher.

Becoming a lawyer will earn you 10x more than any judge. And so we have no shortage of lawyers.

But then I assume you would counter this with "so govt should pay them higher" ?

You really thing the google-apple way is preserving privacy ? People have problems with that too.

I am sure the devil is in the details, but its easier to slam the govt doing anything.

> should justify with actual evidence why they're not appropriate

The justification is incompetent (not trying to insult govt workers here but you know only people who got no private jobs in engineering look towards govt jobs) because the smart people wont join govt jobs because govt jobs don't pay as much.

I don't think govt needs to say it out loud because it would change nothing and helps no one.

> FYI the law enforcement, legal system is a complete joke in India

Exactly what is a "complete joke" about the legal system ? The whole in its entirety ?

> They are also planning an e pass feature which will be required to board a flight/metro

Wasn't this the future everyone imagined ? or we all want to carry more X number of cards ?

damned if you do, damned if you don't.\

To everyone who is pointing out the obvious negatives, why don't you go into govt jobs making these apps/policies and do what you believe is correct/perfect.

I couldn't like this approach of mandatory app lesser, but 'lets not do it because it has potential for abuse' cliche needs to phase out.
