I am experiencing an issue where if you click a word to get translation, a new Google search with 'translate "war" to english' opens. The problem is that it doesn't try to translate from German. Instead it translates the English word 'war' to Latin for some reason. I think a better search keyword is 'translate "war" from german to english'

I have used a Lenovo laptop with PoP OS, which had a dedicated NVIDIA card. I don't game too heavy, just some small platformers and occassionally CSGO. And with a 512 GB SSD, I might also need to expand the storage if I plan to game more I guess

It looks like I don't have an option to bump the RAM up and there's only the 8GB variant for the model you mentioned. I hope there won't be any drastic performance difference between i5 and Ryzen 5 4600H

But you do fail to mention that the true democracy passed the bill without proper discussion and also with a voice vote even when the opposition asked for a division vote. Then there is the thing that even when the said governement is willing to discuss, they are not really ready to compromise.

This is just the tip of the iceberg and I don't want to go on to a full length rant here on HN on a political post. But I believe that the media should always be against the government first. And not like Indian media which are dubbed as Godi media because it is so biased for the government, even reporting fake news at times.

No, the media should not be pro government. Yes, the media should be against the government first and should criticize and be sceptical on whatever the government is doing. And if after checking the facts, the government seems to be doing good, it's okay to compliment. But media should never be pro government.

No More Google 6 years ago

I am one of those. I really want to degoogle but everything from my phone to my work depends on Google. The one thing I have done is stopped using Chrome on my laptop. But even then I have to use it occassionally because some websites won't behave properly in Firefox.

The thing is they may not. For all we know, they're hearing about pull requests the first time and just seeing the presenter showing how easy it is to do, by altering/adding a few words, and get a free t-shirt. I think the blame is all on the channel. The least he could've made a proper pull request by fixing an issue. That said, the blame should also go on DO since they could've made hacktoberfest opt-in. Instead they encourage PRs on any public repo.

The problem I have with Namecheap is that I can't make purchases with Indian debit cards while with Godaddy, Bank transfer, UPI and Indian Debit cards are accepted. I have a few domains which I really want to switch to another provider and checked out Namecheap twice but had payment issues. I even tried Paypal which didn't work either.

Kotlin 1.4 6 years ago

I agree. I tried Kotlin when I was working on an Android app and it was a pleasant experience. Somehow, everything easily makes sense and the Android Studio support for Kotlin is excellent. I followed two Udacity courses before starting on the app. If it helps anyone, these are the courses:

Kotlin Bootcamp for Programmers[0]

Developing Android Apps with Kotlin[1]

There's also an advanced android development course which is a follow up which I am going through now.

I don't understand why they need to have different apps doing the same thing. I am on the same boat as you, using Hangouts for video calls quite frequently. Instead of releasing a new app like Duo, they should have first fixed performance issues with Hangouts and added this as an update. Then there is Allo. Google has weird thinking.

Gimp 2.9.4 Released 10 years ago

I've been using Linux (Well only Ubuntu and Fedora to be fair) without any kind of dual boot to Windows set up for like 5 years now. Before that, I always used to have a Windows installation along with the Linux OS. But as I started getting comfortable with Linux, I just didn't feel like booting up Windows. The only thing I miss is the availability and the performance of games on Linux machines. Also used to have driver issues when I started but almost everything works out of the box now. Currently on Ubuntu 16.04.
