This kind of data is good to have. The post is admirably restrained for such a sensitive topic. But I would urge the original poster to reconsider the wording they used in the RTI query for the IITs. The query says "category of reserva

The question doesn't specify any language, so FWIW, I first learned "serious" programming by reading the sources for GNOME Glib, about 18 years ago. https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/glib

So the real problem is that Google forces you to sign in to your browser with your Google account?

I am a parent of two, and I honestly don't understand these kind of posts. When a child comes home excited about some great marks, all we say is "Awesome, good for you" and celebrate the moment. Then at 7pm when the child com

Did you forget a "/s" tag? Because that pretty much sounds like ten years of AMD history!

To use a very imprecise comparison, the fridge that my parents purchased way back when, cost them three months of savings, while the fridge that I purchased would cost half a month's savings for a similar job.

I wonder how that works in other fields. Is it an appeal to authority if one buys things by reading reviews? Does everyone always afford the time or the money to try each thing themselves to decide this is the one they want? Should people n

Same in India. And not just when speaking or writing English, but in some the regional languages too.

I am sure this is out of context, but I regularly use a thesaurus to find names for patterns in my code/design/architecture. Applies to class names, variables, even functions.

Grandparent's focus was on "growth". And clearly, the report says CPU is "down".

I am confused. It's still around, right? It might be disabled by default on Windows, but you can always modify the power setting to enable hybernation? I set mine up and replaced "sleep" with "hibernate" in every se

Isn't it possible that someone else messaged the Smith's about the conversation, and mentioned OP's name, and then some algorithm made the connection?

Why is that not good advice for a novice too? I do this by reflex every time I install Debian or Ubuntu, and to my experience it did not create a situation that needed "expertise in apt".

Does it work to just "accept all" every time, and then rely on ad blockers to actually keep the cookies out?

Totally my life. I keep the middle one fixed, and then see-saw on the other two!

TBH, my first reaction to this comment was "somebody's wrong on the Internet". But luckily, reflection won over reaction, and gave me enough pause to realize what's really happening. I have no idea where this notion of &

It would be nice if every Indian managed to get vaccinated. And it's easy to get distracted by the observation that 290 million is smaller than a billion. But the important thing is that those 290 million are concentrated around urban

Not the GP, but I used to commute two hours each way for college in Mumbai (including a switchover and long walks to/from the train stations). Used some of that time to finish assignments if I got a seat!

And the whole point of cornering data at rest is that your client can "no longer access it". It's not about the authorities being able to decrypt that data. It's about hurting your business by making it difficult to cont

"reflexive rather than reflective". Thanks. I learned something very useful. I'll always try to recall it when I can't understand why I am having an argument at all.

I think there's a problem worth solving here. With the DNS, people didn't have to bother remembering IP addresses or even know what they mean. With search engines, people no longer have to bother remember URLs or even know what th

Exactly. I would much rather have these sensors embedded in elsewhere where I can make a conscious decision to activate the sensor as a part of my routine. Something that sits on my body all the time is just to anxiety-inducing.

I think those custom TLDs will work just fine. It might confuse customers a bit, but most of them will just type "burrito.catering" in Google and miraculously reach the correct website anyway. EDIT: In case it's not obvious,

I know my request might be off-topic ... the original article is from a blog that does not export an RSS/Atom feed. I am looking for recommendations for a service which can let me scrape a feed by guessing the structure of the articles
