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...

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.

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!

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.

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.

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 ...?

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

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

I use this[1] written in Go.

Does anyone know how that big earth is created? I saw something similar on the Google I/O '15 event page too.

I don't visit them at all.

I honestly don't get this part. You don't visit any website that has ads?

There is a capture_to[0] method that can be used to save a screenshot.

Btw, Thanks for telling me about Splash, I needed something that has support for Ad Block Plus rules.

Uh, No. It has a different format. Described here: http://www.getmemo.org/dev.html

The page mentions Windows, but there aren't any binaries available for it. Am I missing something?

This is probably the nicest looking Windows application I have seen in a while. The website is pretty slick too. This is the kind of detail that you usually get to see for Mac applications. Great Job. Seriously.

Right after I saw the animated details (you know, the one that pops up when you click "Change") I wanted to see its source code :/

Can you please tell us what language? and/or 3rd party controls are you using? Please?

I'm guessing it might be on the work in progress page but the page looks too detailed, so I have bookmarked it for when I have more time than I currently do.

Almost all new cool extensions are now created only for Chrome. The last similar thing I saw was: https://github.com/gabrielecirulli/hn-special This makes me seriously question why I'm sticking with my Firefox nightly.

Will there be a Firefox port? or are you using some Chrome specific APIs?

When I was a Chrome user, I used to use Vimum: http://vimium.github.io/

I'm now using Firefox, with VimFx: https://github.com/akhodakivskiy/VimFx/

I'll give this a shot the next time I open Chrome.

Will there be a Firefox port?

Since it's trivia we're dealing with. This commit was made 18 days before I was born: https://github.com/mirrors/gcc/commit/cbbca02e2430b2dc1f5681... :)

Just tried installing the encrypted version (after installing pycrypto binaries.) It didn't work as these binaries do not include GMP/MPIR _fastmath, and I got lot of errors related to the them during install.

The unencrypted version works just fine though.

Would rewriting the application just to be able to provide releases make sense? What other benefits can one get when writing command line applications in Go? (as compared to python)

I am asking this because I myself plan to write a small command line tool in Python. I have never wrote (or read) a line of Go though, so would like to know.

I have too much on my hands right now, but will definitely try to create an executable, but don't you think it'd make sense to provide binary releases? I mean, there might be others like me.

I'll also try the encrypted version. Will let you know if it works (or it doesn't) :)

Looks great! though I'd have loved it even more if there were binaries available. I just like having all my favorite applications in one portable folder. I'm guessing using something like py2exe to create one won't be hard.

Also, what are the chances that the jrnl[encrypted] package will work on Windows? (without using Cygwin?)
