    I was looking for this too, thanks! Since I couldn't figure out git's credential system, I used to work around this by running `git send-email' in emacs' term mode, and using an `insert-password' elisp function I wrote to insert the password into the term buffer.

    "For unlike someone devoted to the life of contemplation, a total worker takes herself to be primordially an agent standing before the world, which is construed as an endless set of tasks extending into the indeterminate future."

    A bunch of you (mostly those with white collar jobs) should read this and consider how close you are to the sort of ideology this article discusses. I think it'll feel uncomfortable, but may help motivate you toward new opinions.

    1. If work dominated your every moment would life be worth living? – Andrew Taggart | Aeon Ideas
      from Aeon
      A life of total work, in which every moment is gainfully employed and there is no time to think, is hardly worth living

    I absolutely hate this. Unfortunately, many good channels are doing it these days. And, it's even more annoying that they often try to make the advertisement seem as though it is part of the subject being discussed in their video.

    Advertisements are not simply sitting by the actual content. They affect the quality of the content that gets published. Therefore, they can't simply be ignored. Edward Herman and Noam Chomsky go into this in great detail in their "propaganda model". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Propaganda_model#Advertising

    This is why I never use wireless keyboards. Good old wires are far more reliable than any encryption scheme.

    Considering how people will game any examination system, I don't believe that there exists any kind of examination that can be an "optimal selector". But, yes, the JEE is one particularly stressful part of life for many people in India. We should scrap these stupid exams that blight our childhood for no real benefit whatsoever.

    Some interesting thoughts here. I'd agree with many of them, having faced similar type of exams.

    1. 'I'd leave the exam room crying': Watch Australian professors react to the JEE question paper
      from Scroll.in
      In 2018, Toby, who has an undergraduate degree in physics and maths, posted a video talking about the JEE advanced examination. The new video is its follow-up.

    I no longer have an Android phone. I just have a feature phone.

    I really hate touchscreen phones and the number of problems they develop. I want keypads back!
