The official replies are addressing questions that nobody has asked. The main issue is why Linux support is being removed from the Basic tier while Windows is still allowed.

To grow the ecosystem, AMD needs more people working on their hardware. Restricting Linux will only alienates students, hobbyists, and devs who want to adopt AMD tech.

Can you provide some info into how you typically use trackpoint. Which fingers do you use and how do you control the acceleration when going few pixels away or whole screen corner to corner. What about the clicks.

I have a thinkpad and am always curious on how to effectively use it. Even a video of someone using it might help.

A somewhat similar situation happened with India when in 1999, India-Pak Kargil war, the US denied India access to its GPS satellites. It forced India to have its own Regional Navigation System(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indian_Regional_Navigation_Sat...).

Countries realise that US acts as bully when they can. China just is acting in its own interest. Though as an Indian, I have my own problems with China policies, the US companies crying about IP theft is just them not owning upto their previous actions(of shifting major IP to china due to cheap labour).

But is it still sent automatically on ajax requests by browsers?

It was sed substitute command on a ~800Mb file on Thinkpad T470 with SSD. It was taking around 40-50 sec for each substitution. Though as others have pointed, it may not be directly related to article in discussion.

What does linux utilities like sed, awk use for text manipulation because they were very slow when I was changing a few table names in a sql file.

Same. Giving error "Corrupted content error" on Firefox 61.0.1 on Ubuntu 18.04 Bionic

For our company, we use:

- Gitlab and Gitlab CI

- Zulip chat(moved from Mattermost)

- Metabase for data visualization(will be adding InfluxDB soon)

- Self Hosted Sentry(error reporting): Sentry is linked with Gitlab and Zulip for alerts

- Taiga: project management tool

- OpenEDX: a beast :)

We are Python(Django) based ourselves and love that we can tinker with many of these tools as they are too Django based.

At personal level, I use:

- Mailinabox: Self hosted mail

- Nextcloud: For file syncing, contact management, calendar and tasks, notes.

I have also looked at Perkeep several times(even set it up two times) but couldn't include it in workflow. Especially mobile file syncing.

Pycharm just released 2018.2 with support for pipenv :) https://www.jetbrains.com/pycharm/whatsnew/#v2018-2-python

I am curious if android has the ability to quickly disable fingerprint unlock if you are in adversarial situation. So it only asks for passcode.

For India, they have just two areas: Mumbai and Anywhere else. I am living in Gurgaon(near New Delhi) and it is as expensive as Mumbai in terms of renting an apartment. So Mumbai(0.227) and elsewhere(0.103) is not fair. I guess they don't have much data for elsewhere.

I appreciate them being transparent about this. But the calculator suggested salary was too low for me to consider applying :(

Yes. For this very reason, Mozilla was not porting Firefox to iOS for a very long time. Now, Firefox is also running iOS provided rendering engine.

A good service.

While registering, I noticed timezone as "Indian Time". It should be "Indian Standard Time(IST)". </nitpick>

You can just re-structure your post and make it a blog article :)

The parent example was saying about official ppa only, official as in the original software company providing that ppa. In this case, nginx ppa is provided by nginx developers. Other example is postgres.

But I get it, there are not many ppa like that.

One thing I have seen Indian startups do is try to get every pennny from customers at the cost of quality of services.

This happened to Flipkart as well. They were the poster child of Indian startup scene followed by Snapdeal and others. Some years back their services started deteriorating and at the same time Amazon entered Indian e-commerce scene. Now amazon have taken most of their market share by being best at customer service and support. Flipkart keeps fooling customers.

One thing I always not see people recommending is what small open source projects I can study or do while or after reading these books. Like for web development, people try to implement a small todo, blogging software. For someone coming from higher level languages like Python, Ruby, studying low level library is very tough to grasp. Having small but a proper project in itself will be helpful. I have heard praises about Redis and SQLite, but for beginners, they are quite big.

So any suggestions?

Hey,

You are already on right track. Just complete the Graduation as it is required by many companies(and visas if you need any in future). Go for fundamental courses more on MIT OCW and others. I also studied in a private engineering college from India(2010-2014). My rant at the time here: https://nainomics.blogspot.in/2011/11/welcome-to-indias-high...

I just focused on my learning. Some professors were encouraging. That helped.

One anecdote: I made a heroku style PaaS for my final year project(like dokku). My professors couldn't understand what it does and why is it even necessary. Their main point was we have "shared-hosting" services to do these(I had to go from php to java/python example then :P). Now after two years they have their industry peers saying docker all over and have called me several times regarding that.

I am now Backend Dev building APIs with Python(Django) and Elixir at a small company. I also have small Open source contributions under my belt. Contact me if you need someone to talk to

Parent is from Taiwan and not China. They are different countries(for most parts of world).

Check out https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taiwan,_China

  >> However, the term is problematic and potentially ambiguous because since 1949, two sovereign states with the name "China" exist, namely the Republic of China (ROC, founded 1912 and now commonly known as "Taiwan") and the People's Republic of China (PRC, founded 1949 and now commonly known as "China")

In India at least, Uber is asking drivers to do ~5hrs shifts at a time. Or they cut the amount given to drivers. This is due to fierce competition from Ola, Meru and other cab companies.

Not sure, when they will just have to accept that those drivers are their employees(maybe a lawsuit is needed in India as well).

I have an owncloud instance and want to migrate to nextcloud. Just wanted to know if you have ubuntu/debian ppa like owncloud? I have very little experience with PHP and don't want to install it from source.

Parent may not be talking about scale in terms of Traffic but big project code-base where you and team have a hard time keeping something in head and how something is being rendered.

Can you explain how you were using PostgreSQL as Graph Database?

I got an email on 28th and a reminder yesterday on both of my account emails to reset my password.

Andrew Godwin had that Kickstarter and he is the creator of South. Here is the link http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/andrewgodwin/schema-migr...

When I started using South, I was much in awe and loved its ease. But as time passed migrations became completed and south soon came to its knees.

So is this happening? Came here to check the response but it seems Bangalore people have indeed hijacked this thread!!

count me in :)

I clicked the link thinking of another article having opinion of how Facebook is becoming more like Microsoft(not hot, not cool). After reading the article though, it felt good that people working there have good feeling about Microsoft. I have lots of senior friends going to Microsoft this year.
