Actually, having an Aadhar number does not imply that the person is a citizen - this is one of the statements present in the application form itself. So, it is possible for non-citizens to have an Aadhar number.

Collaboration over jupyter notebooks has been available in CoCalc [ https://cocalc.com/ ], formerly the SageMathCloud online notebook, for several years now. I wonder what prompted Google to introduce this.

I guess the promise is (also practically possible) to have electrical _connection_ to all households. It's a different question whether there will be, or can be, steady electricity supply, given how the electricity distribution is curr

On one hand there are articles saying young people don't have enough savings, and on the other hand there are these articles ruing that the older generation don't spend more. Maybe we need to check which kind of industries are spo

I would suggest going for an NUC (at least core i3). These are small, has enough computational power for the tasks you want to do, runs OK with Linux, and can run VM if you want to from time to time. You can likely reuse the SSD from the Th

I don't know where they get those statistics? Do they include the daily wage working families? I have several near my own home (in a city) and none of them are able to open bank accounts.

This may have been a good idea, but it is terribly implemented. Especially, notes of denomination 500 should not have been banned with immediate effect. In general many poor people, even in cities, do not have bank accounts and face lot of

Having RAM slots that are user serviceable and having them soldered directly into the motherboard is besides the point. If there is only one RAM slot (whether soldered-on or otherwise), then the total memory that can be supported is at most

If I am not mistaken, the chipsets on the Intel NUC models are laptop chipsets. I have the Skylake Core i3 version and that supports up to 32G of LPDDR4 RAM (dual channel). Since the thin laptops typically have only one RAM slot, it makes s

This tool looks interesting from the screenshots in the website. I wonder if some things that diff doesn't do well are handled separately by this tool. Or, I do not know how to make diff do it well - for example, show added similar &qu

One of the sources of this problem is the relentless experimenting that has been ongoing since about 2007-2008. First, there was pmount and hal introduced to take care this automounting, and as soon as this was in a working state, it got re

The only D-Bus tool that is nice in the command line is qdbus, and that stems from Qt. I wonder why the original D-Bus writers could not write a decent enough command line tool for it.

Works for me. Across multiple vim sessions. Unless, you mean a new file thesis.txt, in which case the old file is untouched.

Indeed, printf is shorter. I use it in a similar fashion in my own script [1], which can be made to behave like hr() (haven't tried shells other than bash): centered_output '=' '' [1] https://git
