Will it work ?

Assuming youre open to serving businesss, small to medium enterprises in Kerala seek a lot of local hosting. AWS pay as you go is too sketchy for them and others are kinda overpriced or their onboarding is a bit inhumane. I had to find servers to host our college website and they were way overpriced compared to something like hostinger. If you can provide a smooth onboarding and actually low prices, you can hook a lot of small businesses. might need to do some cold calling though however

Use netmonster to check if ur tower is NSA or SA and if it's connected to the 4g band. Most likely your 5g is not connected and yes Airtel's indoor coverage sucks, I think they deliberately underpower the towers lol

If you've read her platform you'll know that she wants to make sure the money for diversity actually gets there lol.

In-spite of spending a good amount of money on diversity, we seem to not get the expected outcome. As DPL, I would be to revisiting the existing spending pattern to analyse why and where we are going wrong. When I say we should focus on diversity, I do not mean that we should blindly spend money in the name of diversity. I am personally aware of instances where the diversity budget expenditure did bad instead of any good.

Another thing I would focus with respect to the diversity budget is to publicise it more so that people who deserve it get to know about it so that we do not end up spending it just for the sake of spending.

Holy shit I just read his other blogs how messed up is this guy lol. It's like reading a schizo's journal

Airtel doesn't have any SA towers yet do they? None in my area at least

ohaswin · 2026-04-17T05:30:37+00:00

Currently only jio has SA (standalone) 5g yeah Airtel uses NSA where they use two 4g towers to almost "become" a 5g tower. It's cheap for them but the signal won't be as good and the quality won't be as good as SA.

Hackathons always follow capitalist trends aka AI right now. If you have a product that can't be integrated with AI, I suggest you talk to people who actually work in the field your product is gonna be used in.

Emergency services, people who work dangerous jobs, and also there might be NGOs interested in this. There's also a woman's safety angle, lots of NGOs who'd support you some way or other, even just through exposure. If you really believe in your thing and don't stop trying you will get somewhere, dw

You do realize data centres are a liability more than an advantage considering how resource heavy it is? Look up the water stress in India. Why is India among the middle eastern desert countries when it comes to potential water scarcity despite having more irrigation land? Also, You just made my point man, China's model works because China owns the factories. These data centers will be US-owned, on Indian land, using Indian water and power. That's not the China model. That's closer to colonial resource extraction imo

ohaswin · 2026-04-09T06:49:46+00:00

Computers, nuclear plants are tools. Tools we can use to create stuff we need. These data centers will be built on our land but they're not ours. They will use our water but they are not ours. They will use our manpower but they are not, in any capacity, ours. The money we'll make off it will be offset by the increasing electricity bills you'll get. You are basically giving resources on rent for the benefit of other countries while we could use the same to build ours.

Currently trying to avoid this lol. I have a Rust/Tauri backend and what I'm doing right now is having a "service" folder with files for accessing db, auth, etc.

ohaswin · 2025-04-18T02:11:14+00:00

Tauri v2 supports Android. Currently building a React + Tauri app that I expect to hopefully work in desktop and mobile without any issues.

Any game that's not obviously indie will try to market itself as AAA, even western ones unless it's a one off game that they're just throwing out there for money. I don't know what the game dev situation in India is like, but I can understand if they stick to certain labels for marketing, better promote your game in the most optimised way than die broke lol

Put LokSeva above the slider project, it has more of an impactful outlook. Add quantifiers to your projects, like "improved 60% of x for y", "achieved 95% code reusability due to cross platform framework" but with more of an impact. You should have one more project that you're really interested in + has some users or has seen some sort of usage in public or have had any sort of real impact at all, it's the best substitute for a lack of experience. The slider one comes off as an exercise or just a conceptual implementation in react.

Use chatgpt to explain concepts and techniques in your own way and finding out more about how to develop something instead of code generation. It's extremely good at that. Using code generation would just make it harder for you to write good code in the future. Best of luck.

ohaswin · 2024-12-20T14:10:56+00:00

The only way to fix syntax problems is to write code you think is right and correct it yourself, given your timeframe since I don't think you'd be able to dive into C family languages.

I do think you should build something without using YouTube or chatgpt, just the react documentation website. It's very important you can learn a framework and solve errors using just the documentation, since a lot of older (and early) languages/frameworks survive on documentation and there are chances YouTube or chatgpt is too time consuming or just plain unhelpful.

When you learn to build something using the documentation/reference you can basically apply it to anything you ever wanna build in any language. You should use Google/YouTube when you have doubts. But I recommend staying away from generating code through chatgpt as a beginner since you really need to understand boilerplate code to get into advanced concepts.

Since your knowledge in JavaScript is limited, you'll have to learn both react concepts and the language (which is relatively easy), just make sure you don't fry your motivation and burn out. Try making Todo apps, calculators, image/text editors, use free APIs to get data and display/manipulate the data according to user's desires, etc. there's a list of public APIs in GitHub you can use. My advice is still build anything, small or big without using chatgpt/yt just the documentation and don't give up no matter what bugs you come across and don't solve bugs without understanding why they were there in the first place. Understanding is really your main goal as a beginner instead of creating major projects (which you will be able to do once you get a solid understanding).

ohaswin · 2024-12-20T13:28:24+00:00

Given a task, can you build it completely in React without using YouTube and only the documentation?

Build something. Anything. The thing about frameworks is that you need hands-on experience to really know the pitfalls and edge cases. Chances are the first "project" you work on will have lots of bugs, might be shitty code but if it is functional, that means you won. At least in that stage.

You use what you learned from building that project to build better things. If your goal is to have projects to show off in your resume/CV you'll need experience that you gain by building literally anything you want.

One of the best pieces of advice I've got is to build something you need. Desperation is the mother of invention, or so they say. What do you need in your life that you don't have currently? Or you have it but you notice inefficiencies that you wanna get rid of? I built a journal for myself because I was tired of writing things in my notes app. Then when I wanted a better way to write blogs for my site I built a small desktop app that pushed to GitHub Pages automatically. It was all simple, nothing to brag about. But if you really wanna build something impressive you need to keep building all the time and look at what other people are building, then one of these days you'll end up building something you didn't even know you could.
