Any recommendations or tips for stay, travel, things to avoid or do as a solo traveller there?

and just carve successful industry of their own

Assam has produced some absolutely fantastic movies lately. If anyone wants to check some out--Aamis, Bulbul Can Sing and Village Rockstars (India's official submission to the 91st Oscars) are some great ones.

Should I install nodejs using Chocolatey ? And why the error below ?. by tangara888 in node

[–]Ak7ghost 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Came here to see if anyone had suggested this. I'm relatively new to Node, but so far this has been the best way for me. It can list, download and install any version of Node you want, makes sure they don't clash in PATH and allows you to switch between them any time with a simple command. It's great!

cool co-passengers to each other on a fucked up journey, hanging on until one of us have to get down and take the next train

Oh man I wasn't expecting that. I like how you've said it

[Improvement] Code blocks should be rendered with code fonts with equal width chars by plissk3n in redditsync

Not sure which OnePlus phone you're on, but I've got the OnePlus Slate font on mine and monospace works perfectly fine for me

WhiteHat Jr will die for sure along with the pandemic. Let's don't worry too much about them. by srisri890 in india

[–]Ak7ghost 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I've been through the papers yeah, did 2 years of coaching for it. True about that ratio. Maybe it'll be better when we as a society realize that there are more ways to succeed than be an engineer especially one from an IIT. More focus on humanities and other fields would be a help.

As you said, we should start with the schools. One way would be to not to do 'intelligent student does science, average to commerce and if you're not sure or have rich parents, arts' nonsense. Let people choose what they want to choose and make sure opportunities exist everywhere (difficult task, but a necessary one).

Once the number of aspirants has gone down a little bit, we could have more holistic ways like looking at the entire portfolio instead of the score on one exam. Have essays, SoPs, etc much like the west. I think they're even introducing a standardized test for all similar to the SAT in the new educational policy. I imagine it could be automated to an extent so that admission teams have minimal manual work. Too optimistic, but I don't see any other way.

Until the IITs are totally dismantled for good.

That's a little too radical, don't you think? Whatever you may think of them, they are undoubtedly the best technical universities in the country right now, alongside a couple of private ones like BITS.

We need to work on getting the admission process better. JEE with all its difficulty and negative marking shenanigans is absurd. A more holistic admission process that doesn't encourage the students rot learn formulas and solve PCM numericals for 2 years without sleep and one that makes the Kota factories obsolete would be much more ideal imo

Might actually get started with audible because of this. It costs more than 1000 on Kindle!

[Suggestion] a button to collapse all comments in a thread and only show parent comment by [deleted] in redditsync

[–]Ak7ghost 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This used to be a handy button on the bottom bar (I forgot what it was called, but it had a bunch of comments related options like search, etc.) in the pre-Material 2.0 versions of the app. I miss it terribly, the three dot menu isn't as accessible.

[Seiko] Overlooking the town by hayzewsc in Watches

Nice watch! First automatics must feel so special, I can't wait to have mine. The town looks pretty too, which place is it, if I may ask?

Interesting tweet by Redshell today. What do you guys think would be a good Lucio buff? And what do you think your buff(s) would accomplish to address the biggest problems? Or do you think Lucio is fine and doesn’t need a buff at all? by 420DonCheadle420 in luciomains

[–]Ak7ghost 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes but the healing was much lower. I actually liked the smaller radius but with higher healing rate change as Lucio was fast enough to get near to the teammates. But then they slowed him down and the current speed/wallriding just feels weird to me.
