- No need to worry about how much luggage I have. It will likely be a minimal charge if there is even one

- Trains are more comfortable with larger seats, usually

- Trains will make tickets cheaper, putting downward pressure on flight tickets as well (competition)

- Less security theatre and less worrying about what I can and can't carry

- You can still have good internet access

This is in addition to the environmental benefits of trains.

Perfect is the enemy of good. More sections and branches can be added. Piecemeal is how transportation infrastructure grows everywhere. It does not come to fulfill everyone's needs all at once.

I think this is called techno-utopianism. The "leaders" in technology have been doing this ever since the industrial revolution.

People sold the idea that street lights would fix "public morals" and eliminate crime.

Also see the progress trap and professor Simon Penny's work and what he calls the end of the anthropocene.

It also added a lot of opportunities for corruption.

- Pt. Nehru wanted Socialism and State Control.

- Indira Gandhi brought the Emergency and all that came with that

- PM Vajpayee conducted the nuclear test

- PM Modi is viewed as an authoritarian and fascist

I think these cover the most influential leaders over the last 75 years. Only PM Manmohan Singh stands up to such scrutiny.

>How could theocratic states with no separation of religion and government score higher than India? How could a country with universal suffrage and constitutional rights rank below nations that didn’t even hold elections?

Since the article talks quite a bit about Sanjeev Sanyal, I think it might be interesting to point to some of his podcasts.

Like this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yiW-mH4qIOQ. Here he points out how the media has misrepresented India and exaggerated and sensationalized issues.

Similarly, India has taken criticism from the West over its more ambitious projects like Sardar Vallabhai Patel's statue, and the space program. So taking the West's word with a grain of salt is quite valid.

Further, the article points out that the government is trying to game the ranking while outwardly saying that they don't matter. This seems hypocritical at first glance but it also points out that having lower rankings affects investor confidence and borrowing rates. You can be against a broken system while still trying to appease it because it's not going to change immediately. The Indian Government needs to work within the system until something better can be created.

I am not fully supportive of everything the NDA government has done but I don't think there is another leader in India who can feasibly win an election right now and I refuse to support INC until they get rid of the Gandhi dynasty.

Also, please look at the podcast from this timestamp[2], where he further shows why people in general but Indians specifically should be skeptical of Western narratives. This is also supported by the book Unnatural Selection by Mara Hvistendahl

Maybe the decision speaks to the distribution of Kagi users across operating systems.

The question is, is it better to wage a massive war that will cost hundreds of billions of dollars and many lives than to make an equal investment into the semi-conductor industry.

If You want global consistency then you'll have to either spend some time at runtime to achieve it, Have complicated protocols, fast networking, synchronized clocks.

Does this look like actor model (from Erlang) if you squint a bit?

I should probably give up on being a software engineer if it is.

They said sync FFI for us but not for you.

I think cherry-picking relevant sections would be necessary to make it function effectively. Has anyone tried using tree-sitter to recursively feed it the source for functions used in the section we want to analyze to optimize for this?

I am evaluating some Nordic semiconductor parts for a project. They seem to have an internal modem but Nordic uses zephyr. Any thoughts?

Notably, Zephyr RTOS is the basis of Nordic Semiconductor's SDK[2]. Nordic is a major manufacturer of cellular and wireless MCUs.

Edit: GP seems to have a history of posting 1 line hot takes with no elaboration

He's Indian so not many on HN will know about him.
