>Or maybe just another assblasted indian barely suppressing their hatred by eternally seething about muslims.

I am not an Indian but merely an expat. But this comment is rather interesting

>Islam gave rights to woman at a time when they were treated as property everywhere else in the world.

false on all accounts.

You misjudge me. Its not all people . Its just the particularly peaceful ones which I think we should be wary of.

I never claimed in any of my replies that I refrain from participating in topics even if they disgust me. That interpretetion was all yours.

Narrated / Authority Of: Muhammad Um Atiyya said: "Our Prophet (SAW) ordered us to come out (on Eid day) with the mature girls and the virgins staying in seclusion." Hafsa narrated the above mentioned Hadith and added, "The mature girls or virgins staying in seclusion but the menstruating women had to keep away from the Musalla."

But I guess being a woman pretty much disqualifies you from celebrating anything in Islam.

"That comment is still in the flamewar style. Score-settling is not in keeping with the spirit of intellectual curiosity that is supposed to animate this site:"

neither is eid-mubarak. Why is this religious greeting even on HN ?

Re:Eid Mubarak on Friday April 21, 2023 @02:50PM (#35658264)
This greeting shouldnt be on HN in the first place.
Thanks for the link. This is really awesome!
I was very sad too when it finished. But I think it had one of the best runs and ending possible. I wouldnt have wanted it any other way.

One thing I loved about that era of computing is that it was possible to know the whole computer from the bottom up. I dont think it will now ever be possible.

Also a very nice shout out to my favourite show in the article : Halt and Catch Fire.

Thanks. I'll check it out. On the last podcast they had Ken Shirriff and it was what got me hooked.
Georgia, the country. It has some of the best research and treatment facilities when it comes to phage therapy.

If anyone from Oxide is here, could you guys restart the "On the metal" podcast . It was the only CS related podcast I ever liked.
It is just one of the legs of diversification. India is also investing heavily into Na-ion batteries. It already has swathes of solar farms and twenty two working nuclear reactors and 13 more in the pipeline .
Re:Schools should be using open source software on Monday May 30, 2022 @01:27PM (#31561342)
This is a very poor analogy. The benefit Linux is offering is marginal and even in terms of cost which can be recuperated or rather offset by hiring more professionals .
Thanks. I was looking for something written in Java. I'll check it out.
Re:Ask HN: How to raise funds for rare disease research? on Tuesday February 08, 2022 @11:22AM (#30260318)
There was a post some years back on HN. The child had a rare disease and the parents were engineers. Eventually they took up studying medicine and pharmaceutical and started working on the cure them selves. If anyone could link that post I think it will be very helpful. I havent been able to locate that post till now. Maybe those parents can help you out in some way.
