> in all honesty what the person is actually right

I agree. I was just nitpicking; that roads in New Delhi are actually pretty good. You should look at the roads in rest of the Delhi. The district that I live in (North East) has infrastructure in such stark contrast to New Delhi that it doesn't even feel like the same city tbh.

> is crypto the biggest issue facing India?

It absolutely isn't.

But somebody begs to differ: https://www.livemint.com/news/india/pm-modi-has-a-warning-fo...

Hey! Are you aware of any non-ntfs filesystems that also maintain a USN style journal? upon which tools like Everything could be created?

I wonder why common linux filesystems like ext2/ext4 don't support this. After having used locate and all its friends (rlocate, plocate, lolcate-rs) - tools like Everything & WizTree on Windows feel like a breath of fresh air!

Um, yeah part of me felt so too, but I was thinking, how else could the guy have phrased it? I mean he's at CMU in a masters program, so to us all his failures feel big, but I don't think that's how he thinks about them. To him, they're all just failures. Nothing more, really.

> Reading code is important, and it seems to have been forgotten.

I know right!

I also like to do all my reading on a Tab (Android) - be it books or code. My current approach to reading code is to first convert all the files to PDF! (I wrote a script uses LaTeX etc. to do this) and then sync all the files to my Tab.

It's okay for code that isn't changing frequently and PDFs also have annotations etc, which I use.

Does anyone know how that big earth is created? I saw something similar on the Google I/O '15 event page too.

The page mentions Windows, but there aren't any binaries available for it. Am I missing something?

This is probably the nicest looking Windows application I have seen in a while. The website is pretty slick too. This is the kind of detail that you usually get to see for Mac applications. Great Job. Seriously.

Right after I saw the animated details (you know, the one that pops up when you click "Change") I wanted to see its source code :/

Can you please tell us what language? and/or 3rd party controls are you using? Please?

I'm guessing it might be on the work in progress page but the page looks too detailed, so I have bookmarked it for when I have more time than I currently do.
