The resignation of the Education Minister is an acknowledgment that accountability in a democracy cannot be indefinitely evaded. It comes after weeks of determined, peaceful voices raised by students, parents and citizens across the country who refused to be ignored.

It also comes after far too many young Indians faced unnecessary police brutality and force for exercising their democratic right to peaceful protest. That should concern every citizen, regardless of political affiliation.

But accountability does not end with a resignation. The deeper failures that brought us here must now be addressed through transparent reforms, institutional responsibility and a commitment to ensuring that no young Indian’s future is jeopardised again.

The students who marched, spoke out and peacefully persisted deserve to know that this is the beginning of reform, not the end of the story.

Used to own a OnePlus and was big fan of oxygen OS until it got mixed with Oppo. Sad to see this :/

[Mark Gurman @markgurman]

It's true: Android phone maker OnePlus will shut down in the US and Europe as early as this week. It's also planning to exit India and elsewhere outside China in 2027. More details here: https://t.co/jf06P9Gfy5

@krismicinski Immich is great! I've been using it for few months, lot better than nextcloud memories

[HSVSphere @HSVSphere]

Amazing advice.

This is an actual page on the White House web site. It reads like something written about a third world dictator. So embarrassing. I have not seen any branch of the federal government sink this low in my lifetime.

[Akhil 🧑‍💻 @akhiltulluri_]

@agarwal_smayan What's the timeline you're looking at? I'm looking for something from July - DM me and maybe we can figure something out.

[KC Sivaramakrishnan @kc_srk]

I'm offering "Functional Programming with OCaml" on the NPTEL platform in July 2026 sem. Enrollment is open now.

The first 8 modules of the interactive book should be fairly stable. The rest is still in development. Sharing early in the spirit of building in the open.

[KC Sivaramakrishnan @kc_srk]

Schedule for the FP Launchpad kickoff is up.

Eight talks covering functional hardware design, trusted computing, verified governance, JIT compilers, earth observation, diagramming languages, and mechanised metatheory with Claude Code. Not a bad day.

@Ano_myself makes me wonder if my friends might just be biased and I might not be funny for real :/

[KC Sivaramakrishnan @kc_srk]

Still time to apply to the FP Launchpad post-bacc fellowship

@LunkyFallow the last paragraph sums up my thoughts perfectly at the end of the movie. thanks for writing!

[Mao Shichigan 🦋 @weAllGonnaDye]

I just find it crazy that demonetization, an objectively bad policy, is the hill he chose to die on like I can understand making movies on surgical strikes or Article 370 but a good propagandist would have silently swept the failures of the govt under the rug not justify it lol

[Phil Eaton @eatonphil]

If you're a CS grad student in the US, I'll pay you a small fee to write for The Consensus. I'm especially looking for articles that compare the state of research to the state of what devs do in practice, because there are often interesting discrepancies.

[Akhil 🧑‍💻 @akhiltulluri_]

@kc_srk this is amazing! 🚀

[KC Sivaramakrishnan @kc_srk]

Applications are open for the FP Launchpad Post-Baccalaureate Fellowship at IIT Madras, a fully funded 2-year fellowship in systems and functional programming.

Build real systems, publish research, contribute to open source.

Important: India gets US ‘permission’ to buy Russian oil for one month!! How bizarre can it get! You claim you want to stop one war, you end up starting another and then decide who will procure oil from whom! And New Delhi has to stay silent for fear of antagonising the BIG BOSS in the White House. Welcome to Trumpian World Disorder!😡
