mangatmodi··on How Do I Get Rid of Search Results from India?
Search for anything related to computer science, you will get tons of videos and true enough most of them are very bad quality in both content and language.
mangatmodi··on How Do I Get Rid of Search Results from India?
Sarcasm Alert - Hey, as an Indian I am tired of American English videos. The accent is so bad, I can't understand anything!!

Btw, it looks like a good problem to solve. It is not easy to ML millions of videos to identify spoken language, but I guess google already has means to do it as they provide closed caption.

Also, the YouTubers in the comments seems to be searching for IT topics, which is heavily dominated by Indians

mangatmodi··on Why Discord is switching from Go to Rust
Why would they switch to rust, rather than upgrading from 3 years old version?
mangatmodi··on Show HN: Binarysearch.io – Learn Algorithms Together
How about go? It is worthwhile to add most of the popular languages. I think you can lease env from spoj.com
mangatmodi··on Ask HN: Is there any lanuage which satisfies my need?
I am aware with XY Problem. You are right about binary compilation for easy deployment (Though I believe Java is faster than Go, so the speed is not reason).

But static typed provide a plethora of other advantages. Erlang is one of the languages I had always in my checklist but never got into.

mangatmodi··on Ask HN: Is there any lanuage which satisfies my need?
Rust looks promising. I will try to see how good is tooling and dependency management
mangatmodi··on Ask HN: Is there any lanuage which satisfies my need?
How is tooling and STL maturity of Nim?
mangatmodi··on DuckDuckGo Traffic
Search answers in Google and everywhere else. You won't find yahoo answers anywhere on Google. I checked until 10 pages.

That was my turning point

mangatmodi··on JetBrains Mono: A free and open-source typeface for developers
I don't know if it is my habit or what, but the font is wider and bolder than what I had before - Victor Mono.
mangatmodi··on Get Me Off Your Fucking Mailing List (2005) [pdf]
Guess what? Ethics page is 404 - http://www.ijact.org/index.php/ijact/ethics

Intentional or not, it is an irony

mangatmodi··on EU beckons Indian tech talent
We are talking about tech. It is not cheap.
mangatmodi··on Who Was the Buddha?
Hindi had a complete overhaul under British rule. Hindi have several dialects and all of them are quite different than Sankirit.
mangatmodi··on Who Was the Buddha?
I am a native Hindi speaker with good background in Sanskirit and yes, Bhavana means huge palace may or may not be a king's palace though.
mangatmodi··on NASA's Treasure Map for Water Ice on Mars
Title is highly misguided. "Nasa identified highly probable zone for mining water ice"
mangatmodi··on Disable new Slack WYSIWYG editor with this bookmarklet
Thank you. It was kind of Broken. I copy pasted a text with code tags and it didn't recognized. Quite painful overall.
mangatmodi··on Amazon EC2 Issues in Frankfurt AZ
This year has been really bad for the cloud vendors in terms of stability.
mangatmodi··on How to Run Great Product Team Meetings
The standup criticized in the post is the one prevalent in the scrum methodology, where everyone focus on what they have done and will be doing. Standups can be much more different, for e.g. in Kanban standups a team discusses the progress on each ticket.

The proposed method doesn't seem to replace any of them though. It is something which every engineering team should already be doing.

mangatmodi··on How to Run Great Product Team Meetings
When people write - why X is useless, I have this impulse to not read. Especially when X is proven to be good. No offence to the content, but the title is quite clickbaity
mangatmodi··on Show HN: Zepel, a Jira alternative for product teams
Thank you for challenging JIRA. I was looking for alternatives for so long.
mangatmodi··on What happens when you launch Google Chrome for the first time?
Microsoft Edge: Even with Chromium now, Microsoft gave us bigger reasons to avoid it.
mangatmodi··on Punpedia – The Online Encyclopedia of Puns
Too much traffic killed the site!
mangatmodi··on KIP-500: Replace ZooKeeper with a Self-Managed Metadata Quorum
Finally somebody said it. Yes it is hard. Zookeeper is time tested and I don't think there is anything revolutionary to keep state less than 2n nodes. Either Kafka will compromise on consistency or give a solution which is as performant as Zookeeper. May be they are looking for something which is more specific to Kafka and can be done in a much easier algorithm than Zab?
mangatmodi··on Summary of Golang Generics Discussions
We have seen multiple proposals here on HN, but it makes sense to share all the discussions.
mangatmodi··on Ask HN: If your job was remote, which city would you choose to live in?
Some beach. Maybe in Spain. I like fomenterra
mangatmodi··on Some models of Airbus A350 airliners need to be hard-rebooted after 149 hours
When dealing with physical systems it is impossible to have no bugs. To give an extreme example, there is a not a small chance that the cosmic rays can change a bit in a system's memory - https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2580933/cosmic-rays-what...

The issue here is overflow due to time. The time is saved in a variable (don't know how much bits), which overflows after the gives period. Now there are two options 1. Upgrade circuits of every plane. These planes were designed/built a long time back. Bigger registers were not practical due to costs. 2. Document it and have a process for it.

mangatmodi··on Saving Lydia
The best I could do, a responsible citizen. Taking care of others as much as I can.
mangatmodi··on Some models of Airbus A350 airliners need to be hard-rebooted after 149 hours
It is a very well know issue with every plane. Sometimes there are no solutions to a problem. You need these hacky solutions. The title is clearly catchy with everything that is going on with Boeing.

But the point is, this reboot process is very well managed and known. So I won't call it scary.

mangatmodi··on Saving Lydia
@carlmr, I understood the position better now. Maybe states should completely fund or control medical researches. This is one thing which should never be done for profit.
mangatmodi··on Saving Lydia
So there is a cure, but it is not profitable and no body is doing it? Society has evolved so wrong, when we can't provide basic needs to everyone despite (probably) having enough for everyone.

I wonder how many people are living a miserable lives, without knowing they can b e treated. Do I have to Ph.D in every medical science to make sure my kids get a treatment what they deserve?
