It's not about Java but Oracle and their shady licencing practice.

Java (and it's derivatives) is an amazing language and JVM is nothing short of an engineering miracle. It's highly useful in building reliable enterprise services.

As a regular Twitter user, I kinda disagree with this perception. Twitter has objectively become slower and more bugs have been introduced as well.

Caddy is far more simpler to understand than any any other server software. Thanks for building Caddy!

Yes! It's hard to believe that this company made an entire OS.

No matter how much revenue Teams is generating, given the number of users, it deserves a native app, not a webview!

But Maharashtra had been seeing record cases even before Kumbh which happened in Uttar Pradesh. How come Maharashtra had those cases then?

But Kumbh happened in Uttar Pradesh while highest cases are being recorded in Maharashtra way before Kumbh happened. I'm against any social gatherings but this seems to defy logic , isn't it?

But those rallies were conducted in West Bangal and highest COVID cases are in Maharashtra. I'm definitely against these rallies but logic seems to fail us here, isn't it?

A certain section of western media is distinctly biased against the ruling party. So there seems to be a lot of marketing for a certain point of view, nudging the facts aside.

Might be because BJP is a right-wing nationalist party.

any data to back your statement? I'm genuinely curious as to how one label a political party as right or left wing? BJP is a nationalist party no doubt about that though.

Testing per capita is not same across the country. Maharashtra has been doing a lot of testing. I have been in touch with my friends in UP and it is really hard to get tested there. So the current official numbers are not accurate there.

Any Modi/BJP (or otherwise government permitted) rally anywhere sends the signal that people can be more lax.

Even if they're in two opposite ends of India? Also, I don't want to take sides, but all other parties rallied during elections so why single out BJP? Once again, I'm strictly against these gatherings and I firmly believe that they should be banned without delay but this selective outrage is rather obvious that the agenda or the narrative is something else altogether.

There very well could be a selective outrage, but I'm almost as far removed from this as possible. HN as a groupmind usually scolds the official government, because the assumption is that they have the most effective control over behavior of people.

I simply said that Modi/BJP is responsible wherever they are.

Of course the other parties are responsible too.

And we can simply apply the Spiderman rule: more power, more responsibility. Modi is the PM, BJP is the ruling party. (And yes, of course in some states BJP's influence is lesser than some other party's. And there the responsibility of that particular party is greater.)

On top of all this it also depends what was the rhetoric of the other parties. Were they also loudly claiming victory over the pandemic? Naturally Modi trapped himself into a bit of a corner with that. (Even if facists can usually disregard/bend reality, but we shall see how the electorate takes this dissonance.)

They should be labelled as extremists just like many other Islamic organizations in India who have been giving threats to make India an Islamic nation by killing all the Kafirs, right?

> Every single political party in Pakistan is an islamic-nationalist party. Yet the Western media never describes them so.

Because that is to be expected in an Islamic country. India, on the other hand, is supposed to be a secular nation that prides itself in its diversity.

As for CAA and the like, I feel it's mostly a branding problem. Most of the resistance BJP gets is because their PR people aren't able to present or explain their policies in a civil, rational manner. Every time someone tries to challenge them they go apeshit defensive, declaring them anti-national and whatnot, pissing people of even when they could have had good reasons and people would have probably not reacted to them had they only spoken of them properly.

I like consistency. For consistency's sake, the western media should prefix islamic-nationalist political parties around the world (that would be most political parties in all islamic countries) with "islamic-nationalist".

But perhaps you're not that into consistency, in which case I can empathize why you're okay with the status quo.

Also, please don't generalize. Not everyone is "proud" of india's diversity. I much prefer how the homogeneity of countries like Japan and China has enabled them to quickly progress. I believe i represent the views of a silent majority in india.

> I believe i represent the views of a silent majority in india.

Correct me if I misinterpreted what you've written, but if you think removing diversity is what the "silent majority" wants, boy, are you living in a delusion. You might be trying to make up explanations to forcibly rationalize bigotry. Ethnic and religious diversity is not something you can just turn into "homogeneity" without large-scale genocide. Besides it was never a significant factor in Japan and China's growth relative to India.

Also, just because India is majority Hindu doesn't mean there isn't massive diversity within those populations. India has 22 official languages (and many more which don't have the same level of representation). India will never be ethnically homogenous to the same extent that Japan (a country with two large religions that peacefully coexist) and China are.

I want to respond before you're downvoted to hell.

I certainly agree with you that not everyone's proud of India's diversity. It's been more of an issue lately where we've a separate "Personal Law Boards" for certain religious groups and at the same time we call ourselves secular.

If India has to really become a secular nation, it has to make sure that it treats everybody the same without any specific laws for specific groups.

India is a supposedly secular country, it's stated in the constitution. Pakistan and Israel explicitly aren't.

Also, you are totally wrong about "every single political party in Pakistan being an Islamic-nationalist party." The second biggest party in the Parliament is the Pakistan People's Party, who are secular.

Additionally, Israel gets plenty of criticism in international media for its preferential citizenship laws regarding Jews.

And what is Korean corporate structure?
