I sort of expected something a bit more... This is a decent enough list of things to explore as an absolute beginner. I was hoping for something a bit more involved, maybe a showcase of getting some _useful_ oss services running? Or perhaps

I think it's a sign of playing too much factorio, that I heard the soundtrack of the laser turrets firing when I read your comment...

Scale is a bit of an issue. We need results in as short a time as possible, ws have about 100 crore registered voters, of whom about 70% on average vote, meaning that the ECI must process 70 Crore votes, in under 10 hours. Making that happe

IIRC it uses tamper evident hardware. There was an interview with one of the Profs who designed the EVMs here.

Atleast in india, we have good subsidies on residential solar, and need to bring as much capacity (blue,green,black, whatever) online for a country whose electricity demand is growing rapidly (most villages now have access to electricity)

Fair enough, though I would expect noise from congress, complaining about lack of domestic consensus on international relations. Still, all things said and done, I doubt the khalistanis see much support from the congress (considering the pa

Or, to put it a bit more bluntly, when the supporters of EV Ramaswamy Naicker started becoming violent with people who had surnames that were traditionally used by the brahmins, people out of fear started to not use their family names. Even

I see. The reason I ask is that india has a bit of a littering problem at bus stands, and the fines for littering are hardly enforced due to lack of budget. I was hoping to fix the issue by applying a small fine, all the time. To do it, I w

Genuine question, are the ethics of "anonymous facial recognition", where the system keeps track of a particular face, does not remember the face, and does not correlate the face to a identity , comparable to a social-credit like

The SaaS I am now working for is a react app + some fancy intelligence. We are not front-end people, so the app is built with the expectation that people will be doing their filtering, searching and using the intelligence we provide, but in

Gives new wind to the "made in China" is "made at least cost basis alone" rhetoric eh? (Or) Panda today, lunch tomorrow?

Not saying it is good or bad, but is someone who loves a subject more deserving of a seat in that subject, than someone who is looking to minmax their salary package at the end? I have batch mates who hate CS, but chose it simply for the pl

Is the relative mobility a good thing though? (Not strictly on topic, so apologies) I would argue that for the exams that actually matter (the JEE, say) PCM scores are very poor indicators of success in the chosen branch, and are an arbitra

Been there, tried that. It only sorta worked, but failed basis m basic "formalism" tests. So could not be directly used. The writing style and vocabulary expected by Indian universities is a style of English that has not been use

It only matters when someone actually reads it no? If a tree falls and nobody heard it, did it actually fall? Also relevant, this is for my final year engineering project, not a writing course. The report that I write is not even read by th

Oh god, this really does capture my problem. My university demands 40 page reports that are never read by anyone, so my seniors used ChatGPT to generate the needed drivel needed, so now we have the ai detectors, and are told that the % of

Correct me if I am wrong, but there has been no investment/subsidy/sop given to musk by this government?

Last I checked, being nationalist is not a bad thing? If your government does not stand up for your country, who else will?

As for the Indian government, I would argue that it is still largely socialist (high direct and indirect taxes that translate to strong social spending in poorer parts of the society, and rural areas[1]), and is still considerably more to t

I would expect that a more charitable reading of GP would say that people from the lower class have not come in the middle class as much as they had earlier? At any rate, imo for stability to exist, every generation must _feel_ better off t

Curious, The Spaniards are famous for their siesta, and it used to be (until recently) that most businesses would close from 12:30-1:00 till 3:30-4 over here in small town india (and in some metros like Bengaluru) I would imagine that every

Youch! 106 is a rough temp to be out and about at! Most cultures who are based off very hot areas have a culture of a siesta where after an earlyish lunch, everyone just sleeps for an hour. Works when you live close to work, but gets very d
