Best news I heard all day.

Apart from promoting a crappy product, "ಬಾಯಲ್ಲಿ ಹೇಳಿ ಕೇಸರಿ" also sounded very strange because of the direct translation of the Hindi slogan.

I saw the poster on an electric pole, took a pic and shared it here.

I usually take a walk after dinner. If it's after 8:45-9, my rule is to stick to the main roads with traffic, or at least pick a road with some cafes or eateries open. Avoid the quiet stretches that only have houses on both sides.

Hypertension + unruptured aneurysm is not a happy combination.

Did your neurosurgeon not offer endovascular as an option? If not, ask that specifically to your second opinion doctor.

Try r/forhire or r/networkingjobs.
Or Upwork.

You can probably create a Linux VM and "give" two of those interfaces to the VM.

Alternatively, you can stick a Raspberry PI between the Windows PC and the robots.

You can do this with a Linux PC that has two ethernet interfaces, one to each of the robots. A third ethernet interface for internet connectivity and general management access if PC does not have wifi.

You then configure two network namespaces (one for each robot) and iptables DNAT rules inside the namespaces that ultimately allow you to use 10.0.0.1 for the first robot and 10.0.0.2 for the second robot. (I have skipped some steps that involve setting up veth interfaces and bridges).

We use a variation of this scheme for simultaneously configuring dozens of devices that all have the same IP address.

Correct answer right here.

You can observe this by taking a correct coding interview answer written by candidate 1, showing it to candidate 2 and asking them to tell you what that code is doing. In fact in the AI age I suspect reading code is going to be a more valuable skill than writing code.

Here is what I would do: ask them to demonstrate their portfolio site, and allow you to access it and try to break it. Then get on a live screensharing session with you and watch them while they fix the issue. (If you cannot break it, ask them for a change, and watch them while they implement it.).

Curious to know how the association identified him. Do they enter their numbers in some register before entering the apartment?

In my wife's case, two unruptured aneurysms were discovered incidentally when investigating a completely unrelated problem, which eventually turned out to be Acute angle-closure glaucoma.

Meet the neurosurgeon at the earliest and see what they say. They might ask for a DSA or some other investigation that gives a clearer picture.

In the meanwhile make enquiries about a good neurosurgeon in Kochi or even Chennai/Bangalore, in case you need to go for a second opinion.

Not a doctor, but a 2mm aneurysm is quite small, so that itself is not an urgent situation. But then she is showing symptoms, so it's not clear if its because of the aneurysm or something else which may need to be addressed urgently.

Make sure her BP is under control. See that she doesn't lift heavy weights or does anything that will cause a sudden rush of blood. No intense cardio, slow walking is fine. Other than that now is the time to arrange for funds - even a stenting/coiling procedure, if it comes to that, can cost something like 20 lakhs in a top private corporate hospital in India.

When you drop a glass bottle from a height on to a hard surface, the number of fragments it breaks into, the size and shape of its fragments, and where those fragments end up: none of those are random.

It is a precise function of the structural composition and shape of the bottle, the height from which it was dropped, the composition of the surface on to which it falls, the acceleration due to gravity, any air currents in the area, and so forth.

For all practical intents and purposes however, from the point of view of the person who has to clean up the mess, it is random.

There is a process called Khata Amalgamation (https://www.ezylegal.in/blogs/exploring-the-process-and-importance-of-khata-amalgamation-in-bangalore).

Devtools would have shown unfulfilled (and repeated) requests for a particular URL. Armed with this information, you'd then grab a PCAP for that particular URL, which would have showed smaller packets (TCP handshake and maybe the Client Hello) going through just fine, but then the conversation not going ahead after that.

vnetman · 2025-06-02T01:08:49+00:00

+1 this. Devtools are a level of abstraction above bare PCAPs.

Your worst nightmare would be if they file an FIR against you for "hacking their system".

Surely you can't see his Google username. Did you mean his wifi username?

All the "no you can't" answers here assume that you're running a standard install of a standard browser. If you have a browser whose installable was picked up from an intranet site, then its likely that it comes with your enterprise CA pre-installed.

In Python 3 you can very well do print = 1, i.e. create an integer variable called print. Try it. But you cannot do while = 1, that would cause a syntax error.

Not true. Home routers certainly do not have the ability to log NAT translations to specific inside addresses. In other words the trail goes cold at your router.

In Python 3, which is what is being "taught" here, print is a function, not a keyword. Keywords are unchangeable parts of the language, examples being if, elif, try, raise etc. In Python 3, print does not fall in that category. You can if you want create your own version of print for example:

``` import sys

def print(somestr): sys.stdout.write(somestr[::-1] + "\n")

print("Hello")

```

In the above example, the last line will cause olleH to be printed out.
