“As you are doubtlessly aware, many Indian citizens depend on WhatsApp to communicate in everyday life. It is not just problematic, but also irresponsible, for WhatsApp to leverage this position to impose unfair terms and conditions on Indian users, particularly those that discriminate against Indian users vis-à-vis users in Europe,” MeitY has stated in the letter.

Most certainly is. Signal doesn't have a status feature to addict people. This ends up with people less addicted to the app.

Thanks for taking the time to explain. This is very helpful :)

Could someone explain a newbie to this domain what are the potential applications of this project?

Is there a reason why MacBook Pro and not a laptop that runs says Pop OS or Ubuntu?

What apps do you care about? And what do you find wrong with Nvidia GPU support on Linux right now?

Curious to know what sort of battery life you are getting?

More like $15/year

> I guess my first reaction is what would be the value proposition over alternatives like System76 and Boxx?

Does their OS work equally well on non-System76 laptops? Because a lot of people would like a different laptop but would be fine using the System76 OS, that is, if it provides the same level of experience (battery life, performance) as laptops by System76.

Our focus would be on high-end laptops in the beginning. The timeline is when you'd expect things to be turn-key moving forward. The 2 years is just a guess.

Have you tried it on a recently released high end Laptop? Not Alienware level but something like the new Dell XPS 15?

Would you pay $15 a year?

Yes, but less expensive and maybe potentially free. A simple description would be an open-source MacOS meant only for developers.

The reason behind high-end is because it takes additional developer hours to support old computers.

Linux kernel does support all for free, but we want the booting, and the experience to be smooth. So we'll not use any code from Linux Kernel that slows the computer unless its absolutely needed by that small set of people.

The goal here is to make an opensource operating system that doesn't suck the way even ElementaryOS does. The battery life is bad unless you can spend 2 weeks optimizing every part of the kernel and OS. The experience is bad, lots of bugs spread around the distro.

I am a graduate student at UC San Diego pursuing a masters degree with a focus on Computer Vision, Deep Learning and Robotics. I have an undergrad degree in Computer Science from IIT Roorkee (India). I've worked with two Y Combinator startups before (Razorpay and Ambient.ai). I am experienced in Deep Learning, Computer Vision as well as back-end and front-end development. Also my LinkedIn profile is https://www.linkedin.com/in/abhishek-kandoi/

I am looking for a full-time role related to Deep Learning, Computer Vision and/or Robotics after I graduate in March 2021.

In India, it is pretty common to eat the leaves of the plant Tulsi, as it is known to improve the immune system. Personally, I used to catch cold almost 3-4 times a year, but taking Tulsi (in the form of one drop of concentrated tulsi extract mixed in my morning drinking water) has helped me immensely. The frequency with which I catch cold/fever has reduced dramatically.

Point duly noted. Any suggestions?

You can send me an email. I have 3 years of experience developing large scale as well as performant software, including work experience at two YC startups. Mail: [email protected]

Note: This opportunity window is only open for a short period before I start something else. Post which it will become less likely for me to respond frequently.

Thanks for this suggestion. It seems relevant. Ordered the book to read.

I've started reading this book today. Looks quite comprehensive and replete with queer examples.

it is worth learning a new language to get a broader perspective on how to write software. you can easily write network services (that can scale later) in java, but not in javascript. you can easily create interactive demos using javascript (with html and css), but not with java.

as for how to stay focused, participate in a hackathon and build something using a new language. i find this helpful as it forces me to learn different features of a language. i don't like to learn a language by following tutorials which treat me like a baby learning to take its first step.

i have little idea about haskell, elixir, kotlin and scala, but here is some advice on the others: javascript: for web dev, interactive demos or quickly writing backend services python: writing scripts, backend for web dev, analyzing data swift: ios apps
