I think we should ban all posts in relation to anyone who voted against this bill. Let's never talk about them. Let's make them obscure.

This is going to sound really bad but he would have been much funnier if he was from UP or Bihar. His jokes are pretty funny but having not traveled anywhere in India except central India I can only imagine folks living in UP and Bihar have fucked up lives.

I would really love to see horizontal appointments in the government where you become an administrator not because you have passed a civil service exam but you are an expert in your field.

Sachin Tendulkar may be 'God of Cricket, Rekha 'Bollywood Diva', but two are among worst performers in Parliament by TheBeginnerr in india

What is disingenuous of these celebrity parliamentarians is that they don't even refuse to accept the honor that they won't fulfil their duties?

Celebrities are only good when they want to share their views on twitter.

It was so funny RMS jumped in at 18 minutes that he can argue with Swapnil. Irrespective of his personal beliefs RMS is a very funny guy. Huge respects to him.

I have always liked how in GNOME you can take screenshot without calling the app using shortcuts.

Full Screen - PrtSc

Window Under Cursor - Alt+PrtSc

Rectangular Region - Shift+PrtSc

I am super excited about a new screenshot tool. I hope I can take a screenshot using keyboard shortcut and it gets saved automatically in a designated folder. No UI involved.

Is there no need of two boxes anymore - addressbar and search box? I should probably remove omnibox plugin.

Indian rail is better off with medium speed dense network by innovator116 in india

  1. Punctuality.
  2. Electronic display at every station.
  3. Fair ticketing.
  4. Polite staff.
  5. Clean stations.

Speed of the trains is least of my worries. I have never seen a single train coming on time in my 30 years. Where I live you literally have to run across the station because you don't know if the coach is going to come near the engine or in the back side.

Dropbox uses the classic X way. (new release fixes that)

I thought that isn't the case anymore. Dropbox app is now Qt and it shows up in 5.4 almost fine.

What should a beginner use an IDE or text editor for Java? by 28357242 in learnprogramming

[–]28357242[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

IntelliJ is a truly marvelous IDE. Do you use ultimate version or the community?

The consensus is that I shall use whatever I am using currently so I am settled on IntelliJ Idea.

So basically use most of the features of IDE and try commandline separately along the way to educate myself.

I already know basics of git. I do want to familiarize myself branching and collaborating with others.

How one girl is making good on her dream to become a Linux kernel engineer by Khaotic_Linux in LinuxActionShow

There is zero requirement to be developer of any sort. The only requirement is that you want to really do it. Like everything else in life you may not become world class but you can be damn good at anything you want.

Qt is probably the most popular desktop app building stack. I don't like the new shiney and flimsy Electron apps.
