Just an absurdly long article.
As someone who uses Visual Studio in day job and Rider on Linux at night I agree
Isn't it objectively true ?
Rust truly went mainstream now /s
Big businesses buy politicians too...
I used Visual SourceSafe before git. What a nightmare
If you mean start menu search should not include results from internet then I am with you
> The lack of caste diversity in the technology sector in India, and therefore the global sector, is a major problem, and one that is very rarely addressed,
What ?
This is woke version of India I guess.
> it's just showing me what I like
This is a silly and stupid argument. I was searching for some programming tutorials and it showed suggestive content in search results in maybe you might also like section or something like that. WTF is that.
I started playing chess online recently. I found it a bit too addictive:)
Hopefully that won't happen.
I agree with you. Thank you for raising the topic.
Thank you. I didn't know that :)
See the other comment. I agree with him.
That only applies to Northern part of the country. In south each state has it's own language and there is no way an outside state person can know your caste without asking
> Are the Indians in NA somehow fundamentally different?
I am not denying the presence of discrimination in North America. I believe it exists.
> So, this is a claim they believe is true and would be happy to be corrected
You don't claim something on based on beliefs. He already has evidence on IIT. Why talk about North America if he doesn't have data to back up it up ?
I had a friend in college who was an OBC. But he pretended to be General caste. By the end of final year, most people knew about it, but no one confronted him.
I worked in 3 different companies (Hyderabad, Bangalore) in South India and did not see any evidence of caste discrimination. Or even people talking about discrimination in office.
While I did see discrimination in college, which was in a rural town in South India.
Most Brahmins (a caste) are vegetarian.
> Indians will not ask outright what caste you are.
My team lead asked me in a Teams call, lol. At that point, he doesn't even know what I look like (because of covid, and we don't do video calls).
(I am not OBC though)
> Higher-caste Indians will also search social media accounts to ascertain a job candidate’s religious views or diet.
I don't believe this at all. Feels like overexaggerating.
> I was, however, not ready to publicly declare it until I received tenure as it seemed too risky
Risk of what ? Seems a bit exaggerating.
> There are at most five tenure-track faculty who belong to OBC category among all the faculty members in North America's "top" 50 CS departments
> What evidence do I have to support my claim?
And then continues to show castes of faculty at IIT.
Am I missing something here ?
Fedora Linux, Firefox, Jetbrains IDE's and terminal is enough for me :)
We have reached peak authoritarism I see.
It's a shame that a country of 1.4B can't produce a competent opposition.
And they are very efficient
