No, it won't. Corporations in today's time have this entitlement that you should know everything beforehand. You need a lot more than that. Oh, you don't know Ansible? Don't understand Terraform? Can't fix a Docker config? Haven't used AWS? Rejected, next?

That's actually nice that there's a low-profile plug available. I could see a alternative type socket with recessed plug socket, sideways ground like the Schuko, and the angled pins.

What I like about socket type I is that it has both 2 and 3-pin variants, which is a nice feature. And you're right about how stable it is, given how the pins are angled.

However, from all the images I've seen online, it seems to me that those cables aren't at the bottom or the top, but toward the center. I mean, if you had something like a sofa or a bed pushed towards the plus, that would cause egregious amount of damage to the plug. Now, I could be in the wrong here.

Also, the ground isn't tall enough, as screen in type G, D or M, which could be a safety hazard. And the point about the accessible fuse, which is a plus in type G, apparently doesn't seem to be in any other socket.

In support of type F socket, they're socketed - as in, a significant part of the plug has to go in first. And this interaction enables the plugs to be grounded first, before any of the other pins come into contact. You're getting both stability and ground connection at the same time.

What's with Git? Sure, it is used by a lot of people, but it has some of it's own shortcomings as a snapshot-based version control. VCS like Pijul has it's own advantages, something to do with the patch theory of differences (disclaimer: I'm not an expert in this).

I am also kinda opposed to enforcing XDG, because of how unstandardized it is. Like for example, to set a terminal, GNOME Shell had to hardwired a piece of code to their internals, checking to see if a particular environment variable exists, , or else use gnome-terminal, which is just bad practise.

What about the electric socket? I like Type F, but I hate how it doesn't have replaceable fuse, like Type G. I also think 3-pin should be mandatory. And about electricity, 230V, 50Hz should be the standard.

Over here in India, we have type C, D and M, and they're decent, I guess. From a safety perspective, it is kinda bad, give how I confused type C slot with type M. This way, I have accidentally bent the two-pin many-a-times.

I've never heard of Elmo, to be frank. Apparently, they used to telecast Sesame Street in India as Gali Gali Sim Sim, all the way back in 2006 - the theme kinda slaps. But I could never see it as a kid, because circumstances. Wow, listening to that song took me on a rollercoaster of emotions.

Jon Minadeo II is also an indophobe, it seems. But little does this clown know that the Aryans that these neo-Nazis claim to be, used to live in modern-day Iran, Pakistan, Afghanistan and north India? The word 'Arya' means noble and honorable one, and this clown is neither of that.

/kəmələ/ is how it is said. Those weird gyphs are IPA symbols, not sure if they're part of any European languages that uses Latin as their alphabet.

The issue with English is that it is a non-phonetic language. In English, 'a' can sound either like æ, eɪ, ɑː, ɔː, etc (refer IPA). The specific 'a' sound in Kamala has a name, by the way - it is called schwa (ə).

I'm pretty sure a French or a German wouldn't butcher this name, as their alphabets are pretty consistent in phonetic pronunciation - they just map fine with Indian languages, like take for example, Hindi - 'a' -> अ, 'i' -> इ, 'e' -> ए, 'o' -> ओ, etc.

In Devanagari, it is written as कमला (ka + ma + laa), which is the feminine form of कमल (ka + ma + la). In Hindi, every varnmala by default has a short 'a' - adding a ा turns this into a longer 'aa' sound (क् + अ -> क (ka), क् + आ -> का (kaa)).

Yes, I know that Kamala is probably half-Dravidian (Tamil, or Telugu, I think), but it really doesn't matter a lot - sure, there's some differences between Indo-Aryan and Dravidian languages, one of which being the schwa deletion, but apart from that, most letters are almost similar in function.

Wish I could have one of them old 14 inch ThinkPads - maybe the T or the P series, with six or more physical cores. My current laptop is mangled, with missing screws, battery that can't hold power, and I'm not sure how long it can hold. Can't afford to even get an older, refurbished device atm.

I'll start - I don't shop a lot, but if I had to buy stuff like hardware parts, I do use Amazon sometimes, but if I can, then I try to use Flipkart. Realizing how it has turned into a monopoly, I try to look for alternative websites, and check if they're trustworthy.

If I remember correctly, the last three items I've bought online were hardware parts from some local websites. The chi-fi IEMs were bought through headphonezone.in, and they were super-fast in delivery - I had to wait for only four days.
