As the sibling comment by eternityforest says, OPFS does not create real files on your file system. It is backed by sqlite or some other embedded key value store. So, if you want to backup your webapp data, you cannot use any filesystem bac

Looks like clickbait to me. OPFS is not a real filesystem. It's basically indexedDB with filesystem-like characteristics. It does not give you access to the host filesystem. The File System access API can do that, but it needs the user

As of now, blocking the sender of the ad has worked out for my Indian number. No repeat attempts to shove crap down my throat. One problem in ensuring doesn't become a problem or gets solved is that WhatsApp is incentivised to allow Bu

You have all these issues with cash added along with additional inconvenience of handling change, counting and making sure to keep enough of it. Most Cash on delivery options also let you pay via card or UPI on spot. Almost every small sho

You can keep your points. Congress supports religion specific exceptions for personal laws - marriage, inheritance, etc. BJP stated policy position opposes this, which by definition is more close to French secularism. I don't even like

How are they supposed to fund the development then? Open source would have been ideal, but when people ask for open source it's mostly them asking for free. We know that most developers don't truly care about open source beyond th

Aren't countries like Japan or South Korea known for gruelling work hours? I think the economic system itself is not conducive for healthy families where both parents get sufficient time to spend with kids or family. In the past this m

> very few interesting accounts from Twitter are available on Mastadon Would you mind sharing what topics your twitter consumption centers on? For me it was the opposite, since a lot of Tech folks I followed moved over. Folks I follow fo

For me it's search. I loved search (and search operators) on Twitter. Used it heavily to curate my twitter lists, to only get tweets pertaining to topics I was interested in. When many tech folks began moving to Mastodon, I also decide

How do you find the time to go through it all? A lot of open source developers also post about other topics like their cats, dogs and favorite types of bread. Which is fine. It's their profile. With twitter I could filter out these wit

But most people do not think critically. Even if we try we do not have access to perfect information. You read a news article. Is it fact? Is it a tilted spin? Is it truth that omits strategic nuances? No matter how critically I approach it

Unchecked Censorship by the government can be a problem, but I find it hard to take voices in this space on face value since they are often the most vocal cheerleaders when a government or political party they like is doing the censorship s

That still doesn't solve the issue of surnames being an imperfect signal of caste. Many surnames are shared between castes. Plus there is no common naming system in India. In the same region within the same caste you can have - Surname

Thanks for pointing this out. I can now ignore anything you say about caste since it shows you don't know anything about it. Most last names are used by multiple castes. Except for popular surnames like Iyer, Sharma or Agarwal the link

Which company this at? Is this discussion of castes among other Indian coworkers? They gain nothing from Caste signalling to you. We should name and shame if a company doesn't act against discriminatory dog whistles. I drink, eat meat,

I know. This is a hard problem. Most companies just make it a subscription, but I wish it wasn't that way since you end up not owning the the software which you bought.

> A huge % of reserved seats go empty, simply because there aren't enough candidates. This is an interesting point. A huge focus of Indian politics is lobbying groups from various lower caste communities asking for _more_ reservatio

Yes, I use browser bookmarks on chrome. I am not completely happy with them though. There is no tagging support so I have a haphazard tagging system via #tags in the bookmark name. Chrome also doesn't have any non-google sync options,

"Type Tetris" is the perfect description of what I've felt with rust at times for stuff where I don't care too much about performance but don't want to wrap everything with Arc<Mutex<T>> or .clone() ever

Once again, keep in mind that this is an Indian perspective. YMMV for North America. Sure you will make more money than them on your first job. But how many of us are able to enjoy that money to the fullest extent? You will most likely end

I went to undergrad in India so YMMV for the primarily North American population here. A lot of people look back at college fondly, but to me it just felt like a lot of time and money spent for skills that I had to acquire on my own any way
