Hi, I live in Delhi. New Delhi is one of 11 districts in Delhi.

Not sure if you meant "look at the roads in New Delhi" in a "derogatory" sense, but I'd just like to say that the roads in New Delhi are some of the best roads here.


>>Not sure if you meant "look at the roads in New Delhi" in a "derogatory" sense

I live in Bangalore(Roads here are darn horrible) not Delhi, but instead of looking at this in an "derogatory sense", in all honesty what the person is actually right.

In the overwhelming number of issues facing India- Literacy rates, hunger, infrastructure, social crises, is crypto the biggest issue facing India?


> in all honesty what the person is actually right

I agree. I was just nitpicking; that roads in New Delhi are actually pretty good. You should look at the roads in rest of the Delhi. The district that I live in (North East) has infrastructure in such stark contrast to New Delhi that it doesn't even feel like the same city tbh.

> is crypto the biggest issue facing India?

It absolutely isn't.

But somebody begs to differ: https://www.livemint.com/news/india/pm-modi-has-a-warning-fo...


Hey! Are you aware of any non-ntfs filesystems that also maintain a USN style journal? upon which tools like Everything could be created?

I wonder why common linux filesystems like ext2/ext4 don't support this. After having used locate and all its friends (rlocate, plocate, lolcate-rs) - tools like Everything & WizTree on Windows feel like a breath of fresh air!


I'm absolutely not an expert, but I feel like log-structured filesystems (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Log-structured_file_system) are a natural fit for this kind of things: an index "just" has to read the latest written entries.

But if we're talking about the future, we're probably talking about btrfs and zfs, both of which have the internal machinery to give you a feed of "recently changed files" up to the beginning of the filesystem.

While writing this answer I stumbled upon https://github.com/rflament/loggedfs which is probably a very nice solution to this problem.


Um, yeah part of me felt so too, but I was thinking, how else could the guy have phrased it? I mean he's at CMU in a masters program, so to us all his failures feel big, but I don't think that's how he thinks about them. To him, they're all just failures. Nothing more, really.


Sure, but rest assured if he’s human, he has other, less impressive, failures that aren’t shown. This list is carefully curated. And deliberately published. Some other options available to him, since you were wondering, would be a) refrain from posting it; b) use non-humblebrag items to make the supposed point just as effectively; c) make the point without a list; d) use known examples from history. These are all perfectly valid. If you think option a is bad, there are still options b, c, and d. And others I haven’t thought of.

However, the author gets to decide how to write their post. That’s their right, even if it annoys me. But I’m kind of surprised you think there were no other options.


I have similar needs as well and have been trying to find a decent solution (but haven't yet.)

I never looked for macOS apps though (since I use Linux.) To be honest, there's a decent chance that you would find something for Mac. Doubt it would be cross platform though.


The syllabus looks good, but all videos have the same title. Is there a "topic" -> "video" mapping somewhere? Couldn't find it on the site.


There isn't, unfortunately.


> Reading code is important, and it seems to have been forgotten.

I know right!

I also like to do all my reading on a Tab (Android) - be it books or code. My current approach to reading code is to first convert all the files to PDF! (I wrote a script uses LaTeX etc. to do this) and then sync all the files to my Tab.

It's okay for code that isn't changing frequently and PDFs also have annotations etc, which I use.


If you're running FF 57, you could try https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/chrome-store-... to install chrome extensions on FF. Some work. Some don't.


Hey! The interface looks good! I'm mostly interested in Python talks so I searched for 'pycon' and only saw 2 results. Is this because you just haven't indexed pycon talks or ...?


Hey yep that is the case! Sorry about that, I'll add some more now!


I do this too! Firefox - uBlock's "Block Element" feature.


Papier looks very nice. Is anyone aware of something similar for Firefox?
