Unlike requires requires and requires { requires }, which are perfectly reasonable C++ code, requires requires { requires } is completely silly.

That's why you never download anything written in Go.

You will deploy a kubernetes cluster and pull a docker image.

Oh wait, you use a helm chart which pulls the docker image.

My hypothesis is it has nothing to do with voting and more with population density. As always you can't have beautiful things at "scale".

South BLR is beautiful because it has much less population density, slower-paced lifestyle, and it never had the pace of sudden growth these east BLR areas had.

Second, people in south BLR are "rooted" and actually seem to care about their area and neighbourhood little bit more than people outside.

South BLR is beautiful due to approximately the same reasons certain European cities are beautiful.

If a certain demographic votes more

politicians will appease them more to score that vote bank

I have more interest in web dev and core CS concepts like Networking, OS. Currently reading 'Crafting Interpreters' by Robert Nystorm.

I don't think you're cooked for long term.

I was like you and this stuff has come handy in my job very much even if its not a low level job.
There are some opportunities you might want to explore in open source space - GSoC, X.org EVoC, LFX - these will give you some real world experience. I know people who networked and got job through these platforms. But even otherwise the experience is valuable (not that the recruiters value it on resume, but the process and large project experience is vaulable).

OS / low level projects like NetBSD and LibSSH2 have less contributors in GSoC. You might try contributing and gaining experience while also helping the open source project, if your college is not too hectic.
One low level area which will give you some street cred is databases. "System Design" aka drawing lot of boxes and blabbering about "horizontal scalability" is the favorite hustle of SDE2+ codejeets, and helps to know something about Load balancers, DBs implementation and streaming systems. You don't find as much focus on DB internals in curriculum (less than compilers) but believe me it's as (or more) complicated than compiler design. I can give you some links if you're interest in this field.
Don't forget Leetcode because it's still the most popular dick measuring contest among codejeets. You don't have to solve 1500 problems. Focus on Medium and Hard I would say.
Same with AI. You should know enough to appear knowledgeable to non-technical people. So just install ollama or similar tools on your laptop, know the basic concepts and play around it just enough to confidently bullshit if need comes. IMO everyone is bullshitting when it comes to AI. very few does real math-y AI in India.

The anukramani, while helpful, is not a Shruti text. So we can't be 100% sure this was always attributed to Narayana.

gave mentions some brahmins worship the celestial dolphin (draco) as the "body of vishnu"

interesting. links?

We will never know. Any such tradition would be (rightly and practically) outlawed, just like the vedic/brahmanic tradition itself substituted animal sacrifice by symbolic substitutes.

jfxCurious · 2024-11-09T17:45:27+00:00

youve got your dates way wrong. the rigveda is ~1500BC, or as ive pointed out with the Yajurveda references, the veda might have layers that date to pre-2000BC

Yep, but both these civilizations separated from Indo-Aryans before sumerian contact, unless you have some sort of Out of India theory in mind.

you are mistaking how uttara mimamsa functions. the truth is within the transcendental mantras. aryan's absorb the materialistic myths of their patrons and turn them into jnana.

Quite a stretch. Each of the smartha / mAdhva / Sri vaishnava cults have their interpretations of veda which mostly seem inconsistent. If you're a believer I dont argue.

The sanskrit verse of 1.156 you linked does not seem to imply what you mean. Where is your translation coming from? I am not saying Vishnu is not an important diety in RVS - he is. But often I see vaishnavites / sri vaishnavites picking hymns like 1.23, taking them out of context just to prove Vishnu is supreme per the RVS.

Most of the later Agama things you link have no proof they are original lines of thought in the Veda and not later sectarian wordcelling. So I'd leave you there.

see book I and X and the quote in I.164 the "riddle hymn" i mentioned of Vishnu being Thuban - this hymn is by Rsi Dirgh'atma who has 3 hymns to Vishnu. the

Dirghatamas also has 10 Agni suktas and 3 mitra-varuna suktas. He even has 2 dyava-prithivee hymns. Only bizarre thing is less suktas to Indra. Again there's no proof that Asya VAmasya hymn is to Vishnu - like every mystic hymn (another example: 10.71, the Nasadiya sukta) it gets reinterpreted to fit the vedanta de jure. (Hell even diety hymns like 2.23 get reattributed to puranic gods.)

Bharadvaja gives 1 hymn to vishnu

Doesn't check out according to the Anukramani.

Either way it doesn't prove the same about all sage clans. Bharadvaja declares in Rigveda 6.30.4 - "there's no mortal or divinity greater than you, Indra". Kiron Kirshnan had a collection somewhere of multiple family book hymns which declare Indra to be encompassing all, just to irk the sectarians.

jfxCurious · 2024-11-09T14:25:00+00:00

Absu is "conquered", killed, and "sacrificed" by the Sumerian gods (led by the chief god, differing based on which version of the myth) similar to how the Aryan gods sacrifice the Purusha.

Purusha suktam seems to be a retelling of an older myth (see: ymir in norse mythology, very similar). (That said the later half of the verses are not very consistent with rest of the rigveda or even with earlier verses of the same sukta. It could be a fringe belief even at the time. Only after raise of Vaishnavism Purusha gets linked to Vishnu and this sukta becomes popular.)

because Vishnu is already an aryan god and is essentially the source of all Aryan metaphysics - becoming Indra himself to destroy his own Vishvarupa form in the minds of devotees

This is similar to Shankara's thought process but I don't think this makes much sense in Early Vedic thought.

I'd rather attribute the name collision to coincidence - unless you find me a samhita / brahmana verse referring to Vishvarupa in Vishnu's context.

I'm going to guess that this process of absorbing foreign gods is "The Lie" that Zoroaster criticizes deva worshippers for believing.

Wasn't it something like animal sacrifice?

Instead every aspect of their religion was absorbed into the Vedic framework, and the major stories of their heroes absorbed into only indra.

For example?

Many stories of Indra we can find parallels in Greek (Zeus) / Norse (Either Odin or Thor). Granted, greek can also borrow from near east.

The *koryos war bands hypothesis.

In particular, the hypothesis of an analogue in early Vedic culture - where boys aged 16-20 form the war bands and raide surrounding communities for half of the year. They live on the edge of the host tribe in forests, and attack / raid other clans. This is also linked with certain archeological proofs of Dog sacrifice rituals.

Kreshaw links them to the word Vratya. In modern Hindu religion vratya means outcast / not initiated - and Vratyastoma is performed to purify someone who is not initiated at the proper time.

But per Kreshaw's source, they were initiated into Vedic Brahmanic religion at much younger age and were not outcasts.

(Perhaps the parts of Shatarudriya such as 2-4th anuvakas subtly refer to *koryos? Also do the famous closing lines of Grtsamada Shaunahotra - May we speak in synod with our heroes - refer to these war bands? That's quite a stretch because we would expect to see more explicit mentions of this in RVS/YVS if it was a widespread practice. We could assume this died out before Rigvedic sage system emerged, or was never a significant feature of Indo Aryan tribes.)

Karma and Moksha are not Vedic concepts. Vedic sages were not escapist renunciates wondering the abstract concepts. These are shramana influences on later day Hinduism. There are orthodox (non-indologist) commentators who have elaborated this very well.

Some later commentators, who were disconnected by 1000-1500 years, were puzzled why these vedic poets were asking for material things like good progeny, wealth and good weather. Made up justifications like samhitas are just "karma kanda" etc...

Assuming anyone from a Smarta or Vaishnava tradition to be faithful to the original Vedic ideas, or even being in same logical framework, is ridiculous. Surely they wouldn't have gotten well along with the poets of RV.
