They didn't catch on. I guess Octave's early adopters were the people who already used MATLAB or needed to use it. Indian students did not, and still do not fit into either category. Very few do the ML course on Coursera, and use

Yes, Gitanjali can be appreciated better by theists. Although the art is of high class, and can be appreciated by athiests, too. As I said, Tagore wrote a lot of novels, plays, songs, and essays. Tagore's body of creation is formidably

Migrated completely from WhatsApp to Signal and Telegram. I still run WhatsApp for the people I absolutely have to. For that, I am using an old, and almost bust phone I have from 5 years ago. No spyware on my primary phone.

What? Not at all. I am a total athiest, and I really like Tagore's poems. See, Tagore not only wrote poetries and songs, he was a great essayist, as well. Many of his essays would be highly appreciated by athiests and progressives (I

Religious taboo is held by some of the Indians. Not all or even most of them. A religious granny wouldn't want to kill a monkey, but if her grandson is threatened? Hell yes. And, yes, they are protected by wildlife conservation laws.

> how strong are these monkeys? One, or even two monkeys won't usually attack or even threaten an adult male. Although, a monkey will easily beat an adult male human. They are like 2-3.5 ft, and weigh at least 20 kg. They are also s

These monkeys are not fatally dangerous if that's what GP is saying. But they cause heavy and serious nuisance. Where I live, these monkeys invade gradens, agricultural fields, house rooftops at least 4-5 times a month. The locals dr

The fact is, just by reading something once, I barely remember stuff. What makes me remember stuff is enforcement of the concept. This can be done- 1. Actively, by applying the knowledge to get things done- building something, explaining so

I have used Gradio and Streamlit extensively, and I am very disappointed with Gradio. The options are limited, the UI is ugly, customisability is near non-existent. I dumped using it, and focused entirely on Streamlit. I am satisfied. At a
