Hard to tell if this is the usual gymnastics from bureaucrats trying to cover their butts or if TRAI is really annoyed that Facebook is using their platform dominance to lobby favorable government policy.

Interesting to see Alpine, which began life as an embedded linux project is now being used for server deployments. This has to be a win for open source style of projects. Also reminds me of the time when Kroah-Hartman mentioned that people

My understanding is that CBSE decides the syllabus ( that is, which topics students should learn and at which grades ). NCERT makes the books that contain the course material. CBSE does not make any course material, or am I wrong ? Or does

Not all auto-completions are equal. I have felt that Intellij's auto-completion is far superior to vim's YouCompleteMe. There are many other advantages like out of the box support for a lot of common use cases like refactoring, n
