If someone humiliated me, I'd humiliate them back at that same moment if it was spiteful. If I had done something embarrassing then I'd try to laugh it off before giving someone else a chance to. If I couldn't do it at the moment because of some brain freeze, then comes meditation.
The situation will play in my mind several times regardless, analysing why I did what I did will usually give answers. If it was some failed comedy I'll say to myself better luck next time or if it was general lack of attention, I'll calm myself saying I need some sleep or if it was because of lack of exposure or skill then I say let's learn that before it happens again in public.
The key prerequisite to this form of meditation is to not attach a person to an incident. Separating yourself and putting yourself above that situation generally shields you from the emotions that lowers yourself. Another separation is separating the person who humiliated you with that situation, it shields you from brewing hatred towards that person. Both are equally important. It doesn't matter if it was from one person or many, mob usually catches the vibe and will follow it. Maintain sympathy and think of their pitiful upbringing, label them as such if you want to in general feel sorry for them but with care and sympathy. Then detach them from the situation and then address the issue with some examples I mentioned earlier.
This has worked for me several times, hope it helps.
Please try Rogan ghosht if you have not. That recipe when done right is the perfect mutton curry ever made. This is a recipe from North India, then there's South Indian mutton curries that tastes quite good, particularly the ones in South of Tamilnadu.
UPI is not mandatory in India, don't know where and why such a message circulates. If I am benefitting with Credit Cards at petrol pumps, I deliberately use it and there's no concern from anybody. Merchants prefer UPI (for now) because money goes to their bank account without any cost. And cash still works at most places where UPI does.
Besides this, stakeholders/partners of the NPCI are mandated to offer UPI services. I'm not sure if signing up was optional, but it would honestly be suicidal for a bank not to, given that there are so many competitors offering the same.
I can see why that's the case for high turnover companies. It is to track and reduce money laundering and tax evasion. Also, it has become a no brainer for any consumer facing company to not provide UPI as an option.
I keep appreciating the regulations in India, it is overall supportive of the common man. From say SEBI regulations on derivative markets to digital payments. For eg. credit cards are becoming less frequent, people here won't take out their cards for every other expense. People have become aware of the fact that money at the end is in bank and spending from the bank account hits much more real than a 30 day stream of cash 3-4 times your salary handed to you whenever you need. And so, low income and middle income groups spend wisely and don't get caught in spend cycles above their capacity.
Such an angle goes unappreciated, but hopefully this continues and money still be real and in our pocket.
Modern CSS and HTML's built in elements are better at a lot of the things people use JS for.
I think as coders we feel most comfortable reaching for JavaScript first, when really we should be doing as much in HTML itself as possible, then prettying it all up with CSS, and then finally adding some JS for interactivity such as client side form validation.
It’s pretty limited, though, and has some random quirks. Like a required field will be marked as invalid immediately on load, or that it’s not really possible to display multiple errors on a single input.
You can work around them, but you’re approaching the complexity of just writing your own validator by that point.
I am wondering, HN can spawn a few subreddit like channels maybe with Image, Video support later. HN is the best place in internet that encourages good discussions, reddit communities can vastly benefit from the familiar UI experience, good enough backend. Maybe all the mods can write a petition to create HN communities and foster the communities here. Lemmy, kbin are all fine but come on I'll take HN any day over others. Am I missing something?
Relevant historical note: That's how Reddit started. In the beginning, it was just Reddit. Not much different from HN. Then they added subreddits, and what was reddit became /r/Reddit.com until they closed it.
A polished UI is only what you are looking at, not what is underneath. You have failed to understand the years and years of hardwork poured by vast majority of OSS that helped building all the systems that underpin every single system out there.
Your comparison of OSS developers as tinkerers who can't reach the Megacorp scale is totally absurd. I've worked at these corporations, and out of 10 only 1 or 2 would reach a scale of a great developer. But, OSS developers innovations, contributions and impact surpasses any company out there.
Also, nobody in their right mind wants to work 80 hours a week competing with a team who's trying to better you, if you pit the developers against each other it doesn't matter how much you get paid, your time is owned by the large corp at the end of the day. Easy to undermine the work of OSS developers who go unappreciated and hail the rat racing corporations.
I second this, since it is an app an online payment makes most sense. A simple donation button with paypal/venmo (or something the locals use) would make reasonable money to cover monthly infra expenses at least.
The economy was bouncing back from the housing collapse and it's massive ripple effects. The promising tech was Mobile Phones. Everybody wanted a piece, Nokia tried so much with Symbian OS, Samsung came up with Wave OS. Microsoft pushed Windows Mobile which was well liked but wasn't a commercial hit. Firefox and Ubuntu made their mobile OSes, it was a tough competition against the mountains that were Android and iOS. Not only on Software, the hardware tech was mind-bogglingly awesome as well. Nokia made folding phones with keyboard, Blackberry stuck to their game, Samsung followed Apple but later found their uniqueness, Apple is anyway Apple, Microsoft wanted Lumia series to be a big hit poured resources in it but didn't pay off that well. HTC, LG had their ups and downs. After the bad press for Huawei and Google withdrawing their support, Xiaomi and BBK that took the market by storm. Their cheap phones were an instant hit in Asia, Africa. Each pushing the hardware boundaries every so hard to stay in the market, edge to edge display, pop up selfie cameras, high refresh rates, higher megapixels, bigger lenses, 2 cameras, 3 cameras, 5 cameras, glass finishes, chips that'll give desktop computers a run for their money. It was totally wild. My first computer was an IBM PC running Windows 3.0, to many others like me 2010 blew me away is an understatement.
There was Blockchain, Cloud computing became widespread with AWS taking around 70% of the market and incumbence of multi trillion dollar companies were in the news towards the second half of 2010s.
Such people you define will either be a toxic manager working their way through middle management or some mean worker who's an absolute jackass to work with. Nobody wants to work with such people. Every company has them, but a respectable company will have low number of such people.
This seems like a blanket assumption that all are always low on empathy, all the time non-agreeable and always competing. A workplace would in general give a person a good sense of self worth, high esteem, willingness to agree and disagree with whole heart. One or two bad people don't make the company and definitely need not use such a low bar to define the rest.
I sure did, why you ask anyway? The article titled a clickbait but goes on about why South Korean women can't raise children and be competitive in workplace, which I assume is the situation in South Korea. Either have mutual respect and willingness to contribute to household work just like in a company with colleagues or be there to witness the fall of civilisation.
