Thanks for a detailed response. I'd definitely like some extra income as a grad student, but I cannot earn outside of the university because of my visa restrictions. For all intents and purposes, you may as well consider me living payc

I'm appalled at the perspective of middle class for you. If $500K is barely middle class, how would you classify a grad student? I suppose you were once a grad student too.

This is a pretty cool project! I am concerned about how reliant this is on my memory and if the keybindings keep changing every once a while, adapting to new ones might actually be time consuming. This is what I thought while I was learning

Especially impressive when taken into account that ISRO couldn't achieve the soft-landing with Chandrayaan-2 four years ago. One of the big things they changed with this lander compared to Chandrayaan-2 was to increase the landing zone

On an unrelated note, I guess most of these photos were taken in Kodak cameras which went bankrupt and barely hanging on now. Pretty dark when you think about it.

Sure, they are in business, but I think it's mostly printing and films. From what I understand they sold the camera licenses and patents. I have watched one part of Smarter Every Day's videos on Kodak. Thanks for linking!
