The problem with India is hygiene, not so much safety. The food might be great but you're practically guaranteed to get Delhi-Belly. I visited for work years ago, didn't eat any street food and was still taken out of action for 3 days. Rubbish is strewn everywhere, any standing water stinks. I don't think visiting again is worth the risk.

Every Indian I've ever met has been lovely though (except for the ones who try to scam call my mother)

But like you said, if it works for them who am I to disagree.

I just think it'a visually unappealing language.

Is it true that the Ferengi were based on Jews? I suspected so, but then I also considered they may have been influenced by the Chinese.

It must be possible these days to allow designers to prototype UIs in WebTech and then convert it to native code.

This is a timely post. We are going to use Consul to replace the need for Internal Load Balancers. What issues do you have with it?

But won't all those posix functions that take only `const char*` parameters need to be changed to be pointer/length?

numpy is a python wrapper over a C library written by people who have ground those gears

I'm not sure what the argument is here?

These are in the standard library because someone proposed their inclusion.

They're fine for the majority of people who really don't want to roll their own data structures each time.

They're not compulsory to use, you're still free to roll your own.

In my limited experience with looking at autovectorisation compiler output, gcc is quite bad unless you hold its hand, and clang tries to autovectorise everything it sees.

Well that is very disappointing news.

Even the decoder makes a copy even though it's returning a string_view? What's the point then.

I can understand encoders having to make copies, but not in a decoder.

Is this still true? New versions of protobuf allow codegen of `std::string_view` rather than `const std::string&` (which forces a copy) of `string` and `repeated byte` fields.

Google really dropped the ball with protobuf when they took so long to make them zero-copy. There are 3rd party implementations popping up now and a real risk of future wire-level incompatibilities across languages.

If a user of S3 knows that directories aren't real why would they expect directory-related normalisation to happen?
