The average size of an agricultural holding was 1.08 hectares (2.67 acres) in 2015-16 and declining over time [1]. A lot of Indian land is small farms with houses clustered among them.
That’s not to say that India doesn’t produce a lot of wind energy, though - it’s the second largest source of renewable energy after solar according to the most recent source I could get (Feb 2020) [2].
It’s a reference to freebasing cocaine. Lil B’s detractors (apocryphally) used to call him based as an insult (analogous to crackhead) and he then started calling himself the Based God.
That makes sense, thanks. I kind of like the idea of based meaning grounded... too bad I didn’t get there first.
“Should we split this out into microservices?”
“Only when we’ve identified an acute need for the increased complexity in our architecture.”
“Based thinking”
If you're excited by a simple, Seuss-esque rhyming pattern with hollow lyrics. Its rather the trap beat and vocoder that appeal (to anyone); viral sounds; ear worms; thats about it.
Nothing moving the culture ahead. Nothing revolutionary as far as content goes.
03 Greedo sounds pretty much the same... "...choppa make ya do a backflip, redrum..." Translated: "My gun has so much power it will blow you over backwards, murder". Why is anyone still listening to this type of content? I'll tell you why... the beat and the vocoder.
I could LITERALLY say any dumb ish over a trap beat and it would catch your ear and make you nod your head. Thats the danger of passive listening. You will find yourself nodding your head to terrible words. Guard your mentals!
The production is why I listen. Take 03 Greedo's "Sweet Lady" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iE3v7nSnHN4), for instance - this flips a hip-hop convention on its head by mixing the vocals lower than the sample, giving it a faraway quality I'd argue is innovative within genre constraints.
The other factor is that I feel like the West Coast is in a general slump right now compared to even five years ago. The Bay Area sound is played out; the YG/Nipsey (RIP)/Game modernized-classic gangsta rap sound hasn't had any good projects for a while; and Kendrick himself hasn't released anything since the Black Panther OST two years ago.
As the other commenter noted Joplin is a desktop application that syncs (over E2EE) if you like to other machines via gdrive/dropbox/nextcloud etc.
I was using it via nextcloud and it worked perfectly for what it was. The web clipper also did a great job of snatching simplified versions of web pages.
What killed it for me was just my expanding desires. I want to things like
- view my knowledge base from my work machine without downloading the whole knowledge base to it.
- Be able to search my notes AND all the books i've read. I tried using pandoc to go epub to md but it was too clunky and the searchability within notes wasn't great.
If I was still using it as a drop in replacement for evernote I think it would be great, but to go beyond that starts to stretch the seams a bit.
I also second looking at github's awesome-selfhosted.
Joplin isn't like your typical web app, and you need to either carry a copy of your notes around on every device, or you need to sync them using a cloud service. For that reason, I went with other note-taking and wiki software.
Honestly, this course would have been a game-changer for those of us who went to terrible colleges with minimal opportunities for internships. The disconnect between theoretical classes and practical ones was simply too vast to grasp for the majority.
You sound like one of the top tier of students, being a programmer before entering college (which I assume was a good one). There are colleges out there where the faculty have only a theoretical relation to any actual useful knowledge. E.g. my semester-long networking class actually had less content than just watching a few YouTube videos. My operating systems class had a prof who was so completely clueless about so many things I can't list them. On the first day of class, he said "There are 3 OS (sic) - Windows, Mac and Unix" and refused to believe a student who told him that OSX is a unix. My CS education is entirely self-taught as a result.
