No. But it would be interesting to see in the coming days if the crowds would swell up or ebb down. Because the govt will not accept the resignation of its minister it seems.

'emigrated to'.

Sorry for correcting grammar. But being from one of the previous colonies, one desires to be a master of English and help others also to master it.

We emigrate to a country from our own country.

And other people immigrate into our country from some outside country.

You don't need money to live a principled life. Change your life lens. Seek the truth, change the company. There are several places that don't ask you to compromise your morals or principles. Be in touch with principled people, learn from them. I never care about money and so I never have it but I have never been found wanting when I need it. God will make it happen. No worries.

Also lots and lots of manufacturing and repair work is like kept secret from the common people or at least that is the general vibe. So I'm happy for this initiative.

Guestmodinfo — Mon, 29 Jun 2026 13:30:41 +0000

Didn't Antix Linux beat KaOS by already shipping dinit before them. I'm an Antix Linux fanboy and I know that they were working on dinit like 2025 November? My memory may fail me but they were working on dinit in 2025 then this year Antix released 26 in March while KaOS has done it in June this year. But yes I like that KaOS is rolling release and I do want to try it

MRI is done using X rays which have very very small wavelength compared to sound. And resolution of images i.e. less blurry varies inversely proportional to the wavelength. Yes some algo can make slightly better but I am certain that nothing can beat x rays in clarity for humans

I really wanted to make a career in tomography. But had only one elective from another department and didn't know how to make it into this stream.

It is comparable to slackware as I says on the website and for many yas i have wanted to use slackware. So i want to install it on my pentium laptop that I got in 2020. I want to run zoom on it with screen sharing. Can I do that? I can use antix linux on that laptop frthe same purpose.

Is it possible to let AI analyze your messages and only show you the ones which don't contain certain keywords like "i will release vulnerability".

Same here, I too feel the same. I don't look as if I am neuro divergent but I am slightly and have radar for others and have begun to tell people, "that person is not late or slow in the mind but that person is simply a neuro divergent and needs to be given chance or looked at differently" lot of neuro divergents have been discriminated against in the past. My one professor used to ask me, "Are you on drugs". No I never have. It's just lack of sleep in college days can otherwise make my lucid brain super foggy

How can a fresher get job when he or she doesn't has any network. Only option is through showcasing their projects but how many hiring managers would be interested in their area of interest

The article is paywalled so I couldn't read. But my observation as an Indian is that for a few the salaries have sky rocketed. But for most income has declined or is stagnant and combined with inflation there is certainly a dampener on financial freedom. The govt never gives us lucid figures as to how the economy is growing and how much govt funds and effort of govt agencies (India is run by various govt agencies masquerading as business corporations) are diverted to the intense enrichment of the top 100 super rich. A very ironic Indian scenario is that the national census that is going on they ask what company broadband service I use, which company tv I have I have what is my fone number. What is my religion. And the names of my family members. They ask all kinds of privacy defeating questions. But they never ask any health related issue. If my family is suffering from any health or financial distress. Even our census is an excercise in snooping on citizens but the action points that the govt could take those are absent like: 1. Have you been harassed by any govt official (I have not been recently) 2. How do you look at sanitation in your area (it's fine in my area) 3. Do stray dogs pose danger to you (Yes Yes Yes all the way. They are often in packs of 4-8 dogs and are very aggressive especially to women and children and to people walking alone. Walking alone in India is lost due to stray dogs in residential areas) 4. Is your family in health distress? 5. Is your family going through financial distress in the past 2 years? 6. How do you perceive corruption in India? 7. How do you perceive competency in govt agencies and programs? 8. What's your take on pollution. 9. Any thing that you want to suggest to change in India?

You are correct in class 9 physics book in India we have a mention of supersonic planes producing a sonic "boom" so the suprsonic planes don't themselves explode but their fast movement makes the air produce the boom. So you were correct as far as I can tell. But meteors do get smaller and smaller due to extreme friction from air and they do break into several pieces so that can also add to the sound.

Is Fast Mail having human support? Suppose I forget my password or suppose fastmail somehow bans my account then is there a readily available human on the other end whom I can message or talk to. Recently on HN someone posted about a school which lost its 10 years of Google apps data and account with no possible recourse.
