On a lighter note. There are Git experts? ;-)

Life is Tetris@leminal.spaceto Fuck Cars@lemmy.world•3 people in Madhya Pradesh, India, died while stuck in a THIRTY TWO hour traffic jam along an intercity highway.English2·1 day agoAll good points. I mentioned their lakhs of employees, because that bill keeps rising and probably faster than income. It is the public sector - they will waste money on unnecessary things - but they need to keep up with the personnel bill additionally. That combination means they need to generate money from somewhere.
I think government funding patterns have changed, and ministries have been looking to generate funds rather than be funded by the exchequer. Think BSNL, NHAI. So too IR?
Life is Tetris@leminal.spaceto Fuck Cars@lemmy.world•3 people in Madhya Pradesh, India, died while stuck in a THIRTY TWO hour traffic jam along an intercity highway.English2·1 day agoThat’s what you meant? Got it. Absolutely, messing with aesthetic durable structures is irresponsible on IR’s part.

Life is Tetris@leminal.spaceto Fuck Cars@lemmy.world•3 people in Madhya Pradesh, India, died while stuck in a THIRTY TWO hour traffic jam along an intercity highway.English1·1 day agohaha. The Congress is not left-wing? The party that decreed we were a “socialist,” secular republic? Is the current government doing anything that is not a continuation of what previous ones were doing?
Life is Tetris@leminal.spaceto Fuck Cars@lemmy.world•3 people in Madhya Pradesh, India, died while stuck in a THIRTY TWO hour traffic jam along an intercity highway.English1·2 days agoWe happen to have a public-sector-only rail system, with low ticket prices on most trains. I don’t know how much it costs to keep the majority of routes, subsidized as they are. Maybe the vanity projects with high-ticket prices will help with that. I believe the bigger expenditure perennially has been on personnel, as IR has lakhs of employees. That can’t be wished away.
Life is Tetris@leminal.spaceto Fuck Cars@lemmy.world•3 people in Madhya Pradesh, India, died while stuck in a THIRTY TWO hour traffic jam along an intercity highway.English1·2 days agoThe metro rail projects are separate entities, I guess IR only provides oversight.
Life is Tetris@leminal.spaceto Fuck Cars@lemmy.world•3 people in Madhya Pradesh, India, died while stuck in a THIRTY TWO hour traffic jam along an intercity highway.English1·2 days agoRail is only about a century old. I didn’t know we had historic stations. More like Mughal-era and British-era holdovers.

Life is Tetris@leminal.spaceto Fuck Cars@lemmy.world•3 people in Madhya Pradesh, India, died while stuck in a THIRTY TWO hour traffic jam along an intercity highway.English1·2 days agoYou’d be even more shocked that left-wing politicos, who were in power thrice as long, were equally bad and created the mess that has to be managed.

Oh, and. Now I don’t need a separate bookmarks app, a separate notes app, a separate todo list app, syncing mechanisms for them, or a mechanism to search through all of them.
I never liked the fact there is a contacts app which other apps can tap into.
I have started using an org-mode file with entries that have tel: or callto: properties. I lose vCard exportability, but I can use the file as-is instead.
* Open-source
Yes
* Android, Web, and (if necessary) Linux and Windows clients
Emacs on larger devices, Orgzly on Android
* Stores contact info locally (i.e. self-hosted)
Yes
* Stores contact info securely (encrypted)
Unencrypted, but if you don’t allow apps other than syncing apps the permission to access all files, it may not matter as much
* Can store in a cloud location (e.g. Sync, Dropbox)
I just have Syncthing set up to sync those files too

I wrote about lived experience, maybe you didn’t notice that OP just made a blanket statement that neither matched my experience nor is itself experience.
Life is Tetris@leminal.spaceto Fuck Cars@lemmy.world•This excellent road design brought to you courtesy the brain trust in Uttar Pradesh, India /sEnglish1·2 days agoThis sounds like armchair moaning. How would you have set up infrastructure ahead of time to have handled that situation?
Life is Tetris@leminal.spaceto Fuck Cars@lemmy.world•This excellent road design brought to you courtesy the brain trust in Uttar Pradesh, India /sEnglish11·2 days agoRespond with an example.
Are there large regions with good population density and existing land use that have good roads designed around those existing holdings, unlike what is done in UP, India?
Life is Tetris@leminal.spaceto Fuck Cars@lemmy.world•This excellent road design brought to you courtesy the brain trust in Uttar Pradesh, India /sEnglish11·2 days agoUpvote if you agree.
And you think that elevated road not useful to the layman taking up space is OK? And the problem is the simple design of the road below, which people use uneventfully everyday with common sense at Indian speeds?

So, you think that, even when roads and transport policies are co-designed on a clean slate like in Singapore, transport policies wouldn’t have influenced road design? When even something as simple as a bus lane has been known to work?
Life is Tetris@leminal.spaceto Fuck Cars@lemmy.world•This excellent road design brought to you courtesy the brain trust in Uttar Pradesh, India /sEnglish13·8 days agoSome guy brings up Singapore, I talk about Singapore, and the guy says it is not on topic.
Apparently, road design has nothing to do with whether public transport is involved or not and in what form.
That’s the Internet.
Anything from djb can be expected to be good 👍
The simplest tool I had come across was memoize.py (and others like it). Given a build script, it uses
strace
on a from-scratch build to figure out dependencies. On future builds, it rebuilds only what has changed. It naturally captures edge cases like, rebuilding everything if the compiler changes! But also the typical case, of include files etc.
