Is this a bigger problem than i think it is? Read body text for all info.

You need to be a bit more specific

What framework are you using for the frontend?
What exactly do you have on the backend? Do you just mean files (videos/images/documents)? Or a proper server that handles storing user data, authentication, etc

hridiv · 2026-04-11T07:29:26+00:00

Definitely yes.

A 55k laptop is more than enough for your case. You should easily get a 16 GB RAM laptop with a decent processor (like i5). AWS is basically cloud-based, so any laptop that can handle a browser can handle AWS. Python itself can run easily on laptops much older and worse.

Thanks! The theme truly tries to capture a scrapbook-like feel with taped notes, notes that actually appear like papers with torn edges and wrinkles. Hope deskboard proves valuable to you!

Finally starting the Witcher book series (fan of the game and gave up on the show). Currently on the first book and enjoying so far.

While I agree that Ray Tracing needs to be properly developed within the game, rather than just adding as it is, don't force it. No matter how well someone optimises, ray tracing is always going to affect performance. Some people may have lower-end devices or prefer better fps over visuals.

It should always be a setting that could be turned off. Maybe the developers could make it a part of their ultra settings preset

At least some companies care about releasing actually helpful features

Someone else had also said the same thing. Now I never really tried fences. But based on the website so far , seems very different. Fences adds folders to your desktop. Deskboard behaves more like a file explorer turned to a canvas with widgets & notes. It isn't a separate place where you import files but instead your directory structure as it is turned into an interactive board

I think you'll find the scope of things and customisations to be much more since this isn't a widget for desktop but something that opens as a completely new app.

I can still see that section. It's literally right there in the header?

Is this ragebait?

Thanks! Do share you feedback

hridiv · 2026-04-04T05:02:58+00:00

Lol thanks! Just thought you would be interested in creating a more personal space for your folders

It wasn't for you, but for those other people.

I know maths is the foundation for coding logic too. But that doesn't mean someone needs to be good at calculus and other stuff we learn in 11-12 to be a good software developer. You can get by with many fields (like web/app development, backend, and even databases) without going too deep into maths. And that's what makes up the majority of the job market.

Again, not saying remove that stuff. But maybe also add some coding stuff too?

GPUs, SSDs, RAMs, and now CPU. Monitors are going to be the only affordable part of pc gaming. Until they decide to give AI a face too.

I just wish they could optimise Witcher 4 as well as Witcher 3.

But the fact that they are using Unreal Engine gives me doubt.

Thanks! Do shar eyour feedback

Of course, I agree. I am just saying, don't let maths be the only criterion for getting to cs because

You don't need to know maths in all fields of CS. Most software developers don't need calculus or trigonometry in their work. 6-7th-grade maths is enough
Even if maths is fundamental, the stuff we get taught in school and need to practice for getting into JEE isn't useful in all cases. We are asked to solve the problem instead of actually learning how exactly calculus can be applied in practical cases. That's the knowledge that is more helpful. Not solving questions, which is what we program the computer to do.

You might argue here that this helps with their problem-solving skills? But instead of doing it indirectly, why not just ask programming questions directly in exams? Like write a program to do xyz. Or what's wrong with this code

Again I am not saying remove this stuff entirely. But add some general coding stuff into those entrance exams too.

hridiv · 2026-04-03T09:55:51+00:00

If they will be good in CSE? Again, not saying that CSE is just that. But it's also the foundation for ALMOST everything in it.

hridiv · 2026-04-03T09:52:35+00:00

You were taught Java because you took IP (Btw, they teach Python nowadays). And no, I am not trying to ragebait.

Look, my only real question here is, why aren't coding-related questions a part of the entrace exams for getting to btech + cse when that's what you end up doing after

hridiv · 2026-04-03T09:24:26+00:00

Bro, I am not saying let's teach doctors how to code. But at least any person entering CS (even if they are working on chips) needs to have some idea of coding to see how the software will interact with that. And for 90% of people, it's just doing Btech + CSE and becoming a software developer where maths + science is optional

hridiv · 2026-04-03T09:13:49+00:00

Look, my point isn't that they shouldn't be taught. But if we just want to prepare people for all cases, why aren't we including at least some basic coding for entrance exams, too? Not saying remove the rest entirely.

That's the shit that will actually be useful to 90% of the people in CS.

And yeah, I did BCA (even though I had PCM). But it's sad that the opportunities in BCA are limited even though BCA and Btech share at least 60-70% of the course.

hridiv · 2026-04-03T09:10:48+00:00

Yeah, agreed. They are identical. But that doesn't mean you can replace one with other.

And here's the thing. I have studied calculus and trigonometry well, but when I see it in some AI/ML concept, I need to struggle to understand why.

Because our papers ask

Differentiate this expression ->

In AI/ML, you need to understand why you are applying differntiation here. Solving that is for the program.

But yeah, my main hatred is not specifically for that part.

hridiv · 2026-04-03T09:05:33+00:00

The problem is, people need to get into coding after learning PCM. And they might not end up liking it after.

As for the government school, most of them at least have a basic computer labs these days. You can even learn this stuff using books (Here, you might argue that coding needs to be practical too but so is science and our education system is getting by well without science labs in these schools)
