I think that's also the reason why Indians have a thick accent while speaking English. A lot of the languages we learnt in India have a script that's spoken exactly the way it's written. The words contain all the information

I tried watching it, couldn't get past the first season because of the characters. I've dealt with enough asshole Steve Jobs wannabes and the 10x rockstar programmer types in real life that watching them on screen gives me PTSD.

Probably meant in the Indian context. Even today, the gaming/animation industry is pretty small here, it was probably non-existent way back in 2001.

Heh, I had a similar story but just a decade later. Was not allowed to take the graphics elective in University even though it was a part of the official syllabus. The reason being that it was difficult to get a good grade in this subject i

I guess this does make some sense in my case. Unfortunately my issues can't really be fixed by getting in better shape.

Hah, I don't think it depends on that really. I've never really missed classes in college (mandatory attendance yay!) but I still get those dreams occasionally.

Just curious, does anyone here have dreams with some recurring themes? I've tried googling for this but sadly most of the content seems to be related to spiritual/mystical "explanations" of it. And I don't bring it

This applies even to the internet "cesspools" really. Most of my friends were/are regular posters on reddit/4chan, and they are surprisingly normal. All of them have decent jobs that pay well, some are married. If you me

Could be anecdotal, but I've had a refurbed Latitude 7270. No issues until now, I replaced the battery with a larger capacity and 32GB RAM + 1TB NVMe. It might also be like since the Latitude are enterprise laptops, while the XPS is th

Refurbed Thinkpad/Latitudes, spec it out to the max (RAM, storage) with the leftover money. It would still come out to less than $1200.

This was my observation as well. I don't think this case would've gotten the same amount of attention if the person wasn't good looking. There are countless Doe's missing for whom an army of online strangers hasn't

Ah that's a bummer really. I am just kinda skeptical of centralized services. Relying on the benevolence of a single party for your communication is risky. E: This probably goes for all the chat services which are even mildly popular (

I've never used Signal so forgive me if I am mistaken but is it possible to self-host Signal servers?

I recently switched jobs and the new company onboarded me remotely. It's difficult for someone who's new to get acquainted with the new job remotely. Simple things like a small question regarding the codebase turns into a video ca

I think that's just HN's flamewar prevention method. Any story with a low score and a large number of comments are pushed down quickly, this is in addition to the fact that the post is getting flagged which pushes it down further.

IMO, the fakeness is only obvious because your brain is already aware of the fact that they are fake. If you put any of those picture in another context like a Twitter/Facebook profile, almost everyone would be convinced that the perso

Huh, it seems to rate me 8 out of 10. Only if people in real life shared the same opinion ;_;

If you don't mind 2D graphics and no multiplayer, I would recommend playing Starsector. It has pretty much the same basic gameplay loop as Elite, but it features more complex combat + ship mechanics, a more dynamic world and it allows

Another peculiar one being blocked (at least on Airtel) is Newgrounds. Not really sure what was going on when they decided to ban it.

This takes me back quite a few years. Arvind Gupta[1] is the same guy who used to host a kids program in the early 90's called Tarang which was broadcast on national television (Doordarshan), teaching how to make toys from easily found

I think's that number is reasonable considering any PC can be used for gaming with a small investment. Just adding a $100-$150 GPU can make any old PC from the last decade capable of playing games. That's how gaming has usually wo

I've used the older T420/30/X220/30 series laptops, and they are generally regarded to be well built modular machines that can last for a long time and can be upgraded with minimal fuss. They had 2 non-soldered RAM slots

Eh, they've butchered the T and X series. Aping the Macbooks will be their downfall.

OP is probably from India, this is the norm here. Most companies will ask you for your last months of payslips, reason? Nobody knows. In general, companies treat you are like a criminal trying to con them. Submit previous payslips, last com

Can't really confirm on the reliability. I've used UPI for ~3 years now, I don't remember it failing more than maybe 4-5 times. I guess it depends on the bank whose UPI account you are using. Syndicate fails regularly, ICICI
