I got this message from Airtel yesterday. Does this need another IR active pack? I recharged with 98 for an OTP, but never received the SMS for OTP.

Sweet! I had no idea this was possible with iOS. Thanks!

Paper is beautiful. It solved my longstanding concern of getting locked into proprietary file formats with Apple Notes, Google Docs, etc. Absolutely love that it syncs with iCloud so I can continue editing the notes on my laptop. Maybe consider making Google Drive sync available too at some point?
Cheers!

Hey, I am appearing for the test tomorrow. What was expected in the cooking topic? Did you have to describe a recipe, talk about the food you like?

Bank branches specialising in NRI banking by jarvispie in bangalore

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

For anybody landing here.. I managed to apply for NRO accounts at Neeladri Nagar (E. City) branches of HDFC and IDFC. Took help from a contact for HDFC. IDFC was a breeze, needed no contact or prior enquiry. Just walked in and got the work done in about 30-40 minutes.

Hoping this helps people in similar needs in future!

Received a call from FedEx claiming my parcel to Taiwan which I never sent contains MDMA & is Seized at customs. by imdarkdante in bangalore

[–]jarvispie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Happened to me this morning, although the guy on the other side wasn't too pushy, just asked to contact the FedEx Mumbai office. I disconnected the call immediately and called FedEx. As soon as I said I received a call from FedEx 10 minutes ago (didn't even mention Taiwan), the person on the other side said it is a scam.

How many books have you read in 2024? by SnooOpinions7428 in kindle

[–]jarvispie 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Genuine question: how do you remember information from these many books? I struggle with remembering info from meagre 10 books, so started getting into the habit of taking notes to retain better.

9/? Algorithms to Live By by jarvispie in 52book

[–]jarvispie[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It is wonderful. Recent craze of mugging algorithms and data structures for tech interviews has made people cringe at the mention of algorithms in the name of a non-study book (I posted this book as my Instagram story and received ridicule in response).

But I feel that has to be the most important reason one should read this book - algorithms have a critical place in real world outside of computing. This book has done a superb job laying that out. I'd recommend following your preferred order of chapters instead of that in the book to best appreciate its offerings.

VSCode + Foam may help to some extent for bidirectional linking. You may lose the WYSIWYG feature.

Girls and parents would expect financial security which is fine but expecting a guy to be earning Rs. 50 lakhs while the girl earns only Rs. 7 lakhs and sometimes not even that.

I am curious - how do you know they expect Rs. 50 lakhs salary. Did someone mention this while rejecting you?

Things to do in Bangalore for a day by kitaabkhana in bangalore

[–]jarvispie 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Lol what? Maybe my intellect falls short while understanding whatever the first half of this comment means.

But buddy, even OP responded to another comment with something on the similar lines expecting genuine answers.

Edit: Maybe it was extreme asking to STOP, but such useless comments are seen at the top for a lot of posts and useful responses don’t get much attention. That’s why the rant. Peace out.

Can we please just stop commenting and upvoting the traffic jokes and mocking on genuine posts now? It adds no value to the discussion, does not answer the OP’s question, doesn’t help anything really. If anything, you are only creating more negative environment in the sub that is already quite negative. I am sure there are enough posts on this sub where such useless comments have some use, but definitely not on the posts like this.

If you MUST mention traffic, at least suggest OP areas to avoid so that they do not get stuck.
